Thousands of Yue soldiers surged forward like a tide, their swords flashing against the blood-red dawn.

In the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, all the guards were wiped out, their corpses strewn across the field.

"The maids who served the Holy Maiden are hereby rewarded."

The King of Yue glanced at the soldiers who had just finished their slaughter and spoke calmly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The crowd grinned wildly and swarmed towards the ten trembling maids beside the White Lotus Sect's Holy Maiden.

"Save us! Holy Maiden, save us!"

"I don't want to die—"

Before the cries of agony could cease, the ten slender figures were completely swallowed up by the chaotic soldiers.

"Damn it...you beasts!"

The White Lotus Sect's holy maiden clenched her fists, her nails digging into her palms, her eyes blazing with fury.

She stared intently at the King of Yue, wishing she could tear him to pieces.

If looks could kill, he would have been reduced to ashes long ago.

"Hahaha!"

The King of Yue laughed loudly, "Don't be impatient, you won't live to see that day."

The Great Qian army has already approached Guangdong and Guangxi.

At that time, the White Lotus Sect will be too busy to care about itself, so who will care about you, the fallen saintess?

Upon hearing this, the saintess's pupils constricted sharply—

He's going to kill me?!

A surge of resentment welled up within me:

I haven't killed Jia Yi yet, I haven't avenged Brother Tianyi... How can I die like this?!

Several soldiers roughly forced her back into the sedan chair.

The group set off again, heading straight for the royal city.

The royal advisor had already dug a secret and eerie prison cell beneath the palace.

Anyone who knew the truth was killed without exception.

Upon hearing that the king had returned victorious and brought back the holy maiden, the royal advisor immediately went to greet him.

"Your Majesty, the prison cells are ready."

He whispered, but out of the corner of his eye, he couldn't help but glance at the beautiful figure inside the sedan chair.

He thought to himself: Is the king really unmoved?

"Lock it in."

The King of Yue spoke crisply and without any emotion.

His mind was preoccupied with how to use the White Lotus Sect to disrupt the situation; he had no time to indulge in lust.

"yes!"

The Imperial Preceptor felt a deep sense of respect.

That's true kingly demeanor! He wasn't even tempted by a beauty offered to him!

He personally led his men to escort the saintess into the dungeon.

From that moment on, her nightmare officially began.

In order to pry her open and force her to reveal the cultivation method of Thor the Warrior, the Grand Tutor prepared an entire warehouse of torture instruments.

Poison needles, branding irons, finger-severing pliers... they have it all.

They started to take action.

Meanwhile, the King of Yue was not idle either.

He mustered 300,000 troops and resolved to personally lead 200,000 elite soldiers to Guangdong and Guangxi.

The plan had already been formulated—

Under the guise of aiding the White Lotus Sect, they lured them into a direct confrontation with the Great Qian Dynasty.

He would remain inactive, waiting for both sides to weaken each other before reaping the rewards in one fell swoop!

Meanwhile, the secret envoy had already quietly set off for the White Lotus Sect's headquarters.

The imperial edict proclaims: The Yue Kingdom will send 200,000 troops to jointly resist the Great Qian!

At the same moment, a new Grand Master was born within the White Lotus Sect—

Yu Puhe!

"Thank you all for your support!"

He abruptly stood up, his gaze sweeping intently over the entire congregation. "I swear by the Pu River that I will lead you all to defeat the Great Qian and save the people from their suffering!"

With the Holy Maiden gone, all power in this sect will ultimately fall into my hands!

Thinking of this, his smile grew even wider.

Power has always been the most addictive thing.

"Master! Something's happened!"

A soldier stumbled in, his face pale and his voice trembling.

"What's the panic!"

Yu Puhe shouted a stern rebuke to stop him.

Once the other party had calmed down a bit, he coldly said, "Speak."

"What happened?"

"Grand Master, the Great Qian army has mobilized! A massive force is pressing in!"

"Who is leading the troops?"

"Jia Yi".

The moment those two words were uttered, the room fell silent.

Everyone's expression changed slightly, and their eyes revealed fear.

What about the other generals of the Great Qian Dynasty? They fear no one.

But Jia Yi is different—he's a truly ruthless character who can keep people up at night.

Their record is phenomenal, sweeping through history, unprecedented and unlikely to be repeated.

How many men did he bring?

"Is it... the Loyal and Brave Camp has arrived?!"

Yu Puhe suddenly stood up, his voice tense.

The four characters "Loyal and Brave Camp" are practically a code name for a god of war.

Rumors have long circulated in the martial arts world: if Jia Yi personally leads the expedition, with loyal and brave men following him, it will either lead to the fall of the country or the extermination of the clan!

"Reporting back to the Grand Master, current intelligence indicates there are only 110,000 troops."

"And...it's not the Loyal and Brave Camp."

"They're all new recruits."

The soldier replied in a low voice.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

If it's not the Loyal and Brave Camp, then there's still a fight to be had.

"Ha, a bunch of rookies? Our Thor warriors are ten for the take, we'll crush them!"

"Don't be careless!" someone whispered. "Jia Yi himself is here. He's cunning and invincible; we can't underestimate him!"

"How about... we contact the Holy Maiden and ask her to persuade the Yue Kingdom to send troops?"

"this……"

murmurs arose, and all eyes fell on Yu Puhe.

New leader, it's your turn to make a decision.

Yu Puhe was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke:

"Send someone to the Yue Kingdom to contact the Holy Maiden."

"To deal with Jia Yi, we must go all out."

"Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable."

"The Grand Master is wise!"

Everyone echoed in agreement.

Just as they were about to discuss who to send to Yue, an urgent report came from outside the door:

"Master! The envoy from Yue has arrived!"

"They say they have important matters to discuss and are already waiting outside the city!"

A guard rushed in, panting heavily.

"Speak of the devil, and he appears?"

Yu Puhe raised an eyebrow and smiled: "Please come in."

But he wondered to himself: Why did the Yue Kingdom offer itself up to him so willingly?

Upon receiving the order, the soldiers quickly went out of the city to greet them.

The envoy from Yue was led all the way to the Prince of Nan'an's residence.

Before him stood a bustling city, its streets teeming with activity, and a flicker of greed crossed his eyes.

But soon, a subtle smile appeared at the corner of his mouth—

Soon, all of this will be ours.

Upon entering the main hall of the Prince's Palace, the envoy greeted everyone with a smile and clasped his hands in greeting.

"Greetings, Grand Master."

"Hmm." Yu Puhe nodded, his tone gentle. "May I ask what brings you here?"

He was polite, but he already had a plan in mind—he might have to rely on the Yue Kingdom in the future.

The envoy smiled slightly and dropped a bombshell:

"Upon learning of the invasion by the Great Qian, my Queen has already consulted with the King of Yue and has decided to send troops to assist your sect in repelling the powerful enemy!"

boom!

These words caused an uproar in the room.

The eyes of the White Lotus Sect's high-ranking members lit up.

I was worried about who would go and get help, but the help came to my door on its own.

The saintess has only been married for three days!

This puts the King of Yue completely under his control.

Wow! Truly worthy of being called a saint!

—The White Lotus Sect saintess, locked in the secret chamber, suddenly looked up, gritting her teeth:

"I'm lying to your entire family and ancestors for eighteen generations!!!"

Yu Puhe suppressed his excitement and asked calmly:

"How many troops is the King of Yue willing to send?"

The envoy raised his eyes, a glint of smugness in them.

"Two hundred thousand elite troops."

"The king personally led the army to provide reinforcements."

"Hahaha! Great! That's fantastic!"

Yu Puhe laughed loudly, his face full of excitement:

"The White Lotus Sect will remember this favor from the King of Yue!"

In the future, when my White Lotus Sect crushes your Yue Kingdom, out of consideration for our past relationship, we may spare your royal family a sliver of hope!

"Your Excellency, when will your king arrive with his army?"
