People Were on Edge, Making Policies Hard to Enforce!

His face became solemn and stern, his brows revealing an undeniable determination.

The soldiers and generals around were all shocked and pale upon seeing this. They knew Ye Jing was strong, but they had never seen anything like it, let alone imagined that Ye Jing would possess such terrifying power.

"Lord Ye, what's wrong with you...?" The general's voice trembled, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Ye Jing did not answer. He simply opened his eyes slowly. His eyes were no longer the brownish-black they used to be, but had turned into a deep black, as if they could see through everything in the world.

With a gentle wave of his hand, a powerful energy wave spread outwards from him, instantly suppressing all the noise and fear around him.

"Everyone, stand back!" Ye Jing's voice was deep and powerful, carrying an undeniable authority. Although the soldiers and officers were filled with doubt and fear, they instinctively obeyed his order and retreated, leaving a clearing.

Ye Jing stood alone at the front of the battlefield, facing the surging iron cavalry of the Great Li Kingdom.

He took a deep breath, Evil God Power within him began to boil, as if endless power was surging within him.

He closed his eyes and focused all his attention on this power, preparing for the upcoming battle.

Just then, the army of the Great Li Kingdom approached, and the sounds of war drums, horses' hooves, and shouts of battle mingled together, creating a deafening roar.

However, just as they were about to break through the Shang Ling Kingdom line, Ye Jing suddenly opened his eyes, his dark pupils flashing with a dazzling light.

"Break Momentum Evil Light!" Ye Jing shouted, and pushed his hands forward suddenly. A torrent of black energy burst out from his body and swept across the entire battlefield like a storm.

Wherever the black torrent of energy passed, people and horses were instantly swallowed up and turned into nothingness. The army of the Great Li Kingdom was powerless to resist this terrifying power and could only watch helplessly as their comrades disappeared one by one.

The generals and soldiers who witnessed this scene were all dumbfounded and speechless with shock.

They had never seen such terrifying power, nor had they ever imagined that a single person could possess such world-destroying abilities.

Ye Jing, on the other hand, was like a grim reaper emerging from hell, single-handedly fighting against the entire army of the Great Li Kingdom.

"Is... is this real?" a general murmured, his voice filled with disbelief and fear.

"Lord Ye... he actually..." Another general was also too shocked to utter a complete sentence, his eyes filled with awe and admiration for Ye Jing.

Ye Jing himself, however, seemed to be in another world, his heart filled only with a longing for peace and a determination to win.

He continued to manipulate the Evil God Power, causing the army of the Great Li Kingdom to suffer repeated defeats.

Until the very end, not a single soldier on the entire battlefield dared to advance.

He was left standing alone, surrounded by deathly silence and desolation.

The rear of the army.

Emperor Li Xuan of the Great Li Kingdom was also greatly alarmed upon seeing this.

He never imagined that the Shang Ling Kingdom possessed such a powerful force, nor did he ever expect to suffer such a complete defeat.

His heart was filled with resentment and anger, but even more so with fear and awe for Ye Jing. He knew he had no way out and could only grit his teeth and continue fighting.

However, Ye Jing did not give him that chance. He slowly walked towards Li Xuan, each step seeming to tread on Li Xuan's heart, making him feel extremely heavy and oppressed.

In an instant, Ye Jing appeared before the King of the Great Li Kingdom.

Ye Jing stopped in his tracks, staring coldly at Li Xuan without the slightest fluctuation in his eyes.

"You've lost. Retreat!" Ye Jing's voice was calm and indifferent, as if he were simply stating a fact.

Upon hearing this, Li Xuan's face turned ashen, and he asked in a trembling voice, "Who... who are you? Why do you possess such terrifying power?"

"That's not important. What's important is that you just need to retreat!" Ye Jing said calmly. "Otherwise, you will all die here!"

"I... cannot back down. If you become stronger, we will only be in greater danger, and we will die anyway."

Ye Jing frowned slightly. "I already conveyed the message to you before, saying that we would not provoke a war, we only wanted to develop and sign a ceasefire agreement with you, and we even withdrew our troops. But you are suspected of provoking a war."

"Then there's nothing we can do; we can't just stand by and watch you grow stronger every day." The Emperor of Dali stared wide-eyed at Ye Jing without fear.

"Alright, with me here, they won't attack you anymore, and I will come to your country later to help you build it up." Ye Jing took a deep breath.

Whether you believe me or not is irrelevant to me, because even if you don't believe me now, destruction is the only fate awaiting you!

The Emperor of Dali opened his mouth, but said nothing.

I know Ye Jing is right.

Faced with overwhelming power, what can they do?

Li Xuan's army retreated like the tide, leaving behind a devastated battlefield and heavy hearts.

Although the soldiers of the Shang Ling Kingdom won the battle, the joy of victory did not linger in their hearts for long. Instead, they were filled with confusion and anxiety about the future.

The news spread quickly Shang Ling Kingdom. When the people heard that the Great Li Kingdom had withdrawn its troops, they were initially relieved, but soon, feelings of sadness and anger spread rapidly.

The pain of losing loved ones and the hatred of having their homes destroyed made it impossible for them to remain calm.

"Lord Ye, how could you so easily order the Great Li Kingdom to withdraw its troops? Our loved ones, our homeland, are they just going to be sacrificed in vain?" An old woman who had lost her son knelt before Ye Jing, tears streaming down her face, her voice choked with sobs.

Ye Jing remained silent, fully aware of the profound turmoil his decision had caused among the people.

He slowly knelt down, gazing into the old woman's deep eyes, and said softly, "Grandma, I understand your pain, but war only brings more suffering and death. What we seek is lasting peace, not momentary revenge."

"Peace?" The old woman looked up, her eyes filled with doubt. "If this is the price of peace, then I'd rather not have it! I'll pay for the lives of the people of the Great Li Kingdom!"

Ye Jing sighed, knowing that his words would not immediately quell the people's anger.

He stood up, his gaze sweeping over the crowd, and said in a deep voice, "I understand everyone's feelings, but please believe me, everything I've done is for the future of the Shang Ling Kingdom. I will use my power to seek justice for those innocent lives lost, but definitely not through war."

However, the people's emotions were already difficult to control. They began to question Ye Jing's decisions, and some even began to organize and resist the various policies he had implemented.

For a time, the Shang Ling Kingdom was plunged into unprecedented turmoil.
