The path to immortality through martial arts begins with being forced into marriage!

The moment Cui Yi turned his gaze over, his brows furrowed involuntarily!

Song Ziwei!

The governor of the Demon Suppression Division of the Great Yan Dynasty, with a peak Golden Core Realm cultivation, is one of the top combat forces of the Great Yan Dynasty and was once his superior!

At this moment, Song Ziwei stood on the void, looking down at the ruins below and the three blood-soaked figures, his gaze complex.

After he appeared, a second figure appeared behind him!

Another figure in purple robes, at the peak of the Golden Core stage!

The third one!

The fourth one!

The fifth one!

One figure after another emerged from the mountains and forests—a total of five figures in purple robes!

Their auras were all at the peak of the Golden Core stage!

Like Song Ziwei, they stood on the void, looking down from above, releasing their aura without reservation, their pressure pressing down like mountains!

The overwhelming aura made the entire ruins tremble!

"Lord Song, it's been a long time!"

"What I didn't expect was that the self-proclaimed righteous Great Yan Dynasty would actually cooperate with these demonic sects."

"I really don't know what kind of swill is inside your emperor's pig head!"

"Of course, I believe that Lord Song did not come here of his own volition. You are not the same kind of toad as those in the ditch."

Cui Yi actually had a good impression of Song Ziwei, especially since Yun Ye had mentioned that Song Ziwei had held back against him when they were at the Cui family's house.

Regardless of the other party's purpose, as long as you have accepted their favor, you should appropriately show them goodwill.

Even if the other party is currently on a different side.

"Your talent is truly amazing, it's just a pity you're not on the same path as me, otherwise I would definitely train you properly."

Song Ziwei's words were not mocking at all; anyone could hear the regret in his voice.

"Song Ziwei, don't get your priorities mixed up. We're here today to put this scoundrel to the test, not to win him over!"

A peak Golden Core cultivator beside him spoke up to stop him, saying, "His Majesty already has suspicions about the Demon Suppression Division; you mustn't cause any trouble!"

"Rest assured, I know what I'm doing in the public interest."

The last trace of regret in Song Ziwei's words vanished completely, replaced by an almost icy indifference: "The dignity of the Great Yan Dynasty cannot be violated!"

"Whether you had a reason or were forced into it, you must accept the punishment if you do something wrong."

"Kid, use all your strength!"

"Otherwise, not a single member of the Blood-Clad Sect will survive today!"

With the support of the Great Rock Dynasty, the sect leader of the White Bone Demon Sect, along with the two Fiends of the Profound Yin Sect, breathed a sigh of relief. Their pale faces, which had been threatened with death earlier, regained a healthy glow.

The most desperate people present were the Blood Robe Sect members. They had just seen a glimmer of hope for victory when the arrival of these five peak Golden Core Realm experts turned them to ashes!

The difference between the mid-stage and peak of the Golden Core Realm is only two words, but the difference in strength is like heaven and earth!

If it weren't for the fact that the Great Yan Dynasty had so many powerful figures in charge, given the nature of the Demonic Sect, they would have already believed in any means to annex it!

"Junior brother, these five people are not to be trifled with. You have great talent; you cannot afford to be defeated here today!"

Shen Qing made a quick judgment and instantly appeared in front of Cui Yi, firmly shielding him behind her.

"As long as we're alive, we can always rebuild. These lackeys of the imperial court, collaborating with these bastards, have no intention of letting us live!"

"This is a complete conspiracy; your staying here won't change anything!"

"That's right! Your senior brothers and sisters will cover for you!"

Su Zhi's beautiful figure also landed beside Shen Qing at the same time. Looking at the two figures blocking his way, Cui Yi suddenly felt a lump in his throat.

The Red Demon died protecting them; are their senior brothers and sisters, whom they are meeting for the first time, going to follow in his footsteps?

But soon, Cui Yi completely suppressed all his emotions.

There is no need to be sad.

There's no need to be moved.

What's needed now is brains.

All the information we have so far indicates that the strongest fighting force of the Great Yan Dynasty consists of these five peak Golden Core Realm cultivators.

Now that these five people have come out in full force, it means that the defenses inside the capital are completely empty!

"The entire governor of the Demon Suppression Bureau has come out. Lord Song, may I ask a question?"

Cui Yi raised his head and looked directly into Song Ziwei's eyes: "How many people are left in the capital?"

Song Ziwei's brow twitched slightly, but he didn't reply.

Cui Yi didn't mind and continued, "Let me guess, all five governors of the Demon Suppression Division are here today."

"The peak of the Golden Core stage represents the top combat strength of the Great Yan Dynasty and is also the cornerstone for maintaining the stability of imperial power."

"Normally, at least one or two people will be left in the capital to oversee things, just in case."

"But today, all five of them are here, not one of them is missing. What does that mean?"

"This shows that your Emperor really wants me dead."

"This means he thinks that my mere Core Formation Peak stage is worth exchanging for five Golden Core Peak stage cultivators."

"This means that the capital is so depleted that not even a single Golden Core cultivator can be found!"

After Cui Yi finished speaking, he burst into loud laughter, which echoed through the ruins, causing the five purple-robed figures to simultaneously change their expressions!

"I've been here for three days. During these three days, some of you have been observing, and some have been on their way, but the only thing I can be sure of is that I've kept you all occupied."

"And you are also very clever, and very insidious."

"You're waiting for the three sects to wear me down to my limit, waiting for me to use up all my trump cards, and then you come out to reap the rewards. What a brilliant plan."

Cui Yi suddenly stopped speaking, shook his head, and the smile on his face turned into pity.

"But have you considered what happened in the capital during these past three days?"

Song Ziwei's expression finally changed.

He turned around abruptly and looked at the other four governors.

The four men also looked grim.

They are not fools. To have lived to this age and cultivated to this level, each and every one of them is an exceptionally shrewd individual.

From just these few words, they roughly understood what Cui Yi was talking about.

This kid isn't just waiting to die!

He was waiting for the right moment to lure them all out! Waiting for the moment when the capital was vulnerable!

"It seems that you gentlemen are not fools. Indeed, I do cooperate with the imperial court, but our positions are completely different from yours."

Cui Yi grinned, revealing two rows of white teeth: "You're not the only smart people in the world. Don't underestimate me, gentlemen."

"not good!"

A governor shouted angrily and turned to rush towards the capital!

"It's too late. As you all should understand, three days is enough time to accomplish a great deal."

"For example, change the emperor!"

The words "change the emperor" struck like a thunderbolt, turning the faces of the five governors completely pale!

They finally understood why Cui Yi was here! Why he had shown himself!

Why provoke the three sects!

Why make such a big fuss?

Because this kid is the bait, the bait that lured them all out of the capital!

At this moment, the capital city is empty!

Five peak Golden Core cultivators emerged in full force, leaving the imperial palace without any power capable of contending with the Golden Core realm!
