The thousand-year centipede

"It's about time. Let's prepare to make our move tomorrow."

It was the same secret room, but compared to before, everyone in the room was dressed in exceptionally bright colors today.

"Yes, I've already mobilized the troops; 50,000 soldiers will arrive tomorrow."

The sounds of discussion began to rise from the secret room.

"Our men are everywhere around the city gates, so there's nothing to worry about here."

"The Imperial Guard Captain in the palace is also one of our men. Even if the palace is difficult to capture, we have him as an inside man."

The group discussed the plan, compared it with each other, and reviewed it again to make sure there were no omissions.

"Will Her Majesty return tomorrow?"

"Don't worry, if the Empress and the others don't come, how will they deal with those Underworld Administration?"

"That's good."

After confirming that nothing had been overlooked, the group of people left one after another.

The next day.

The sun had just begun to shine with a dim, gray light when a large army was already heading towards Yanhuai City from afar.

The general guarding the city had already been bribed by the Minister of Ministry of Revenue and others. Upon seeing the large army approaching, he immediately opened the city gates and let the people in.

After letting the people in, a large army immediately went to guard the four city gates to prevent anyone from coming to the capital to protect the emperor.

"What is the purpose of your army's rampage through Yanhuai City?"

Just as the army quietly entered the city, a surge of Incense Offering Qi appeared, and then a man with a ferocious face, holding a jade tablet in one hand and a sword in the other, appeared in front of the army.

"General Fan Yun, you should take care of yourself first."

In the distance, several sedan chairs were slowly carried out, led by the emperor's brother-in-law.

"You..."

General Fan Yun was taken aback upon hearing this, and upon seeing the other party, he immediately realized something. However, before he could say anything, a dark cloud drifted over from afar.

In an instant, the sliver of light that had appeared in the distant sky vanished, and the entire sky instantly turned pitch black.

"Lady Black Mountain..."

Fan Yun took a closer look and immediately recognized who had come here. Upon seeing the person in front of him, his expression changed drastically.

This creature, though called a queen, is actually a centipede demon who has cultivated for over 1,500 years and possesses extraordinary cultivation.

Fan Yun looked at the arriving Lady Black Mountain, his heart pounding. Then, the Underworld Administration in Yanhuai City was in turmoil, and the City God's figure materialized.

Beside the City God, numerous Yin God, including civil and military judges, Day and Night Wandering Gods, and the Three Departments, appeared one by one at this moment.

At this moment, the City God looked at the Lady Black Mountain in front of him, and his expression became extremely solemn.

"Centipede demon, how dare you invade the Jiang Kingdom!"

The City God was extremely impolite at this moment, pointing his finger at the other party and immediately shouting a rebuke.

Upon hearing this, the centipede demon emerged from the dark clouds. It had transformed into a beautiful woman who still possessed a certain charm, wearing less than half a garment and revealing large expanses of her snow-white skin.

Her long, slender legs hung in the air, exuding an incomparably mature and alluring charm.

"Oh dear, I've been eyeing your human kingdom for a long time. Other kingdoms are too difficult to conquer, and your Jiang Kingdom has enjoyed over two hundred years of good fortune. You should be content. Let me destroy this human kingdom, and I'll guarantee you a life of plenty!"

The centipede demon spoke in a charming and seductive manner, drawing out the last word.

Many people in the city had already woken up, and when they peeked through the cracks at the centipede demon above, they couldn't help but swallow hard.

At that moment, they all thought to themselves that if they were to die at the hands of a woman like this, it would perhaps be worth it.

"Nonsense! My Jiang Kingdom is still prosperous; how can you say you're done?"

Upon hearing this, the City God was immediately enraged.

The two guards to the left and right shook the chains in their hands, as if ready to seize the other party at any moment.

The centipede demon didn't take these guys seriously at all. She stretched out her slender hand and carefully examined each of her delicate fingers, speaking slowly and deliberately.

"That's not up to you. If you're so capable, why don't you kill those rebels?"

The centipede demon pointed to the 50,000-strong army below. In addition, other troops raised by the emperor's brother-in-law have also emerged, bringing the total number of troops to more than 50,000.

Upon hearing this, the City God turned and glanced at the strong soldiers, his heart filled with a mixture of grief and indignation.

He is Underworld Administration; he can only deal with demons and monsters. How could he possibly harm humans?

Since they are using the Incense Offerings offered by the other party for sacrifice, if they dare to harm Human Race, it will damage their cultivation. If they kill too many, their clay bodies will collapse and dissipate.

Meanwhile, the army below was already approaching the palace.

At this moment, the palace guards had also heard the commotion and were on high alert on the palace walls.

"No matter what, this place is not a place for a centipede demon like you!"

Unable to harm these creatures, the City God could only stare intently at the centipede demon before him.

The centipede demon was also somewhat annoyed by this, as she had now transformed into human form and was such a charming woman.

But who knows how many people, upon seeing her like this, would want to devour her alive?

The guy in front of her was calling her "Centipede Demon" repeatedly, which infuriated her.

"Shut up! I'm not a centipede anymore!"

The City God was taken aback upon hearing this. He glanced at the other woman, who was still scrutinizing every inch of his body, her every move exuding the air of a charming and beautiful woman, and couldn't help but sneer.

"Stop with your act! In my eyes, you're nothing but an ugly centipede demon!"

You're asking for it!

Upon hearing this, the centipede demon could no longer contain itself. It immediately crushed the dark cloud beside it and charged towards the City God.

Meanwhile, the other demons around the centipede demon also targeted the Yin God beside it, and the shouts of battle were deafening throughout Yanhuai City.

The demons and the Underworld Administration were locked in a fierce battle, but after only a short while, the Underworld Administration began to suffer a series of defeats.

The centipede demon had cultivated for over 1,500 years, while the Underworld Administration now lacked Incense Offerings offerings for cultivation; how could it possibly be a match for the centipede demon?

During the fierce fight, Incense Offerings sticks were repeatedly knocked out of the opponent's hands.

If someone were in the City God at this moment, they could see that fine cracks had begun to appear on the clay statues of the City God and other Underworld Administration.

It probably won't be long before the other party's clay statue shatters and cracks completely.

Meanwhile, the situation inside the palace was no better.

The army arrived beneath the palace and began preparing for the attack.

The emperor's brother-in-law went directly down to the palace and started shouting that anyone who was willing to surrender on the palace walls would be credited with supporting the emperor and would be promoted and ennobled.

This shout, coupled with the large number of people downstairs, caused quite a stir among the crowd.

In the palace, a royal guard rushed to the emperor, "Your Majesty, the Imperial Uncle has rebelled! And there's a centipede demon that's cultivated for over a thousand years, currently fighting the City God."

Emperor Kaide's face had turned extremely pale, and he coughed a few times upon hearing this.

"It really is you."

Emperor Kaide finished speaking, he coughed a few more times, then picked up a box from the side. However, upon opening it, he found that the box inside was no longer filled with the spirit medicine.

Only then did he realize that he had taken all his medication ahead of schedule in order to be able to handle more things.

"Put on your armor and follow me into battle to kill the enemy!"

Emperor Kaide stood up, a blush suddenly rising to his face, as if in a final burst of energy before death.

The guards were startled upon hearing this and tried to say something, but when they saw the emperor's cold and stern eyes, they obediently brought out the armor and helped the emperor put it on.

Meanwhile, in the palace where Princess Jin'an resided...

At this moment, Princess Jin'an lowered her head slightly, her wrists covered in blood.

The flowing blood, at this moment, all flowed onto a small stone statue in front of them.

Looking at the stone statue before her that bore an uncanny resemblance to herself, Princess Jin'an suddenly smiled, "If the country falls, death is nothing."

A murmured voice rang out, and as her blood continued to flow into the stone statue in front of her, her face grew paler and paler, and the light in her eyes began to slowly dim.
