Clever People Fill in the Blanks Themselves

Qi Anmei were furrowed.

Holding Commander-in-Chief Feng's token and carrying the Commandery Prince Qingyang, who had only been in Twin Rivers Commandery for a few months, this man questioned whether the commander of the Gold-Wielding Guard was loyal to the Old Wang or the royal family.

The current situation seemed absurd no matter how you looked at it. Unsure of his current state, he didn't rush to answer, "Young Hero Yu, why don't we put aside the Commandery Prince Qingyang first and then talk?"

"A prince?" Yu Tunzhou said calmly, "Not for long."

As soon as he said those words, Qi Anmei felt the token in her hand burning hot, and her deepest suspicions were gradually confirmed.

How could someone of Yu Tunzhou's status have the authority to decide the existence of a prince? Even Commander-in-Chief Feng is far from qualified!

Yu Tunzhou spoke slowly and deliberately, "Commandery Prince Qingyang has secretly colluded with the Seven Bandits of the Western Desert, plotting to plunder the foundation of Feng Yanleng's Martial Dao. Not long ago, he even joined forces with the Seven Bandits of the Western Desert to assassinate Feng Yanleng, Yuyang, and others."

Upon hearing just the first sentence, Qi Anmei's brow twitched, and her gaze suddenly locked onto the unconscious Ji Zhaole, a sense of foreboding rising within her.

Sure enough, Yu Tunzhou's next question was one of accusation, "Guardian Qi was stationed in Twin Rivers Commandery, didn't he notice anything amiss?"

Qi Anmei's face twitched, and he said in a deep voice, "Young Hero Yu, do you have any evidence?"

"My words are my testimony. What do you think I came to the Western Desert for?" Yu Tunzhou sneered.

Qi Anmei's mind raced.

The message that was sent from Donghe County not long ago was delivered to Divine Capital through him, so he knew very well that it was Yu Tunzhou, in Donghe County, cooperated with Feng Yanleng to kill Zhu Baichuan.

Then, recalling the token in Yu Tunzhou's hand and his earlier questioning—

His heart skipped a beat. Yu Tunzhou had already become a spy for the Gold-Wielding Guard, and Commander-in-Chief Feng —no, could it be the Old Wang?!

The Old Wang has a special fondness for this young man?

No wonder when we went to the Divine Capital to report last time, Commander-in-Chief Feng demanded that all information regarding the Yu Tunzhou be sent to the Divine Capital immediately.

This treatment is already on par with Feng Yanleng's!

Yes, it is said that this young man inherited the fist techniques of the Great Hero Mo, Dragon and Tiger Ranking even praised his great spirit and profound Fist Intent, which are rare in ancient and modern times.

The Old Wang was the greatest martial artist of his time!

Qi Anmei furrowed as he noticed the timing of Yu Tunzhou's arrival in the Western Desert —it was right after news of Feng Yanleng being pursued by the Seven Bandits of the Western Desert had been sent to the Divine Capital.

If I'm not mistaken, this young man has probably come for Feng Yanleng Leng.

Once this was confirmed, Qi Anmei wished she could disappear into the ground.

This means that the current problem is no longer the conflict between Ji Zhaole and Yu Tunzhou, but between the Anguo Ji Clan and the Great Yan Imperial Family!

To be more precise, it's the Old Wang!

He suddenly looked at Ji Zhaole, who was unconscious.

This wretched creature is utterly blinded by greed; how dare it harbor such thoughts?

Plunder the Martial Dao foundation of Feng Yanleng?

Do you even have the life to take it and use it?

"Young Hero Yu, I will report this matter to the Divine Capital as soon as possible. Please entrust Qing- Ji Zhaole to me. Rest assured, I have never forgotten the Old Wang's guidance from years ago."

Qi Anmei made her decision in an instant.

Although the Gold-Wielding Guard were nominally under the direct command of the royal family, they were still subject to the Old Wang's jurisdiction.

The garrison commanders of each prefecture were all at the level of External Scenery, and they had all received guidance from that Old Wang, so it was no doubt that they were his disciples.

The relationship between the Anguo lineage and the royal family has gradually deteriorated in recent years, which is not unrelated to this matter. After all, the Anguo Ji Clan is a branch of the Ji Clan, and compared to other aristocratic Aristocratic Clan, they are the most qualified to replace the royal family.

At this moment, he only hoped that Yu Tunzhou would not escalate the issue or intensify the conflict, as that would be forcing him to take sides!

"I brought this man here today not only because of the matter of the Feng Yanleng," said Yu Tunzhou. "Guardian Qi, since you're going to report this to your superiors, why not add another point?"

"Not long ago, the Commandery Prince Qingyang, with audacity, secretly colluded with the Six Paths of Evil and Demons to set up Blood God Ritual in Twin Rivers Commandery. He also joined forces with Helian Tu, the leader of the Seven Bandits, intending to launch a bloodbath against Twin Rivers Commandery."

Qi Anmei's expression changed drastically, and he said in a deep voice, "Young Hero Yu, is there some misunderstanding? Helian Tu is currently being hunted down by Lord Qin Zang, and should not be able to spare the time to attack Twin Rivers Commandery!"

"I also hope this is a misunderstanding, so I'll leave the rest to Guardian Qi."

Yu Tunzhou tossed Ji Zhaole down in front of Qi Anmei with just the right amount of force—enough to wake her up without causing any brain damage. He said in a deep voice, "I've long heard that the Gold-Wielding Guard has unique expertise in torture and interrogation. I hope you can extract the truth from this person as soon as possible, especially regarding the Blood God Ritual's arrangements in the county. Otherwise, disaster will be imminent!"

Qi Anmei's face looked extremely unpleasant.

How could such methods be used against a prince of the current dynasty?

Just then, Ji Zhaole woke up from her unconsciousness, still dazed, and barely managed to prop herself up, her eyes scanning her surroundings.

His pupils contracted when he saw the Yu Tunzhou.

This traitorous scoundrel actually dared to attack him!

He instinctively stepped back, but quickly realized that his surroundings were familiar.

This is the Gold-Wielding Guard.

He's been here more than once.

Qi Anmei, that old fox, was always very polite to him, but she never spoke her mind fully, like an oily eel that was impossible to catch.

At that moment, Qi Anmei stood beside him.

In an instant, Ji Zhaole seemed to gain confidence, hope ignited in her eyes, and she shouted sharply, "Qi Anmei! Arrest this traitor!"

"This traitor dares to kidnap the current prince, which is tantamount to treason! You must seize him immediately!"

After a series of roars, Qi Anmei remained motionless.

Only then did he notice that Qi Anmei, that old fox, had a gloomy and unpleasant expression.

A bad feeling crept into Ji Zhaole's heart, but she forced herself to remain calm and angrily said, "Guardian Qi, are you going to sit idly by and watch me be humiliated by treacherous officials?"

Qi Anmei finally spoke, her voice carrying a chilling calm. "Your Highness, I only have one question: is the Blood God Ritual true or false?"

A flash of shock and anger crossed Ji Zhaole's eyes. This traitor—this traitor had indeed overheard their conversation!

"What Blood God Ritual!" His voice suddenly rose, "Utterly absurd! Qi Anmei, what kind of status do I have? How could I possibly be associated with such a thing? You don't believe me, but do you believe this traitor chosen by Lu Huaiqing?"

But the panic in his eyes could not escape Qi Anmei's notice.

At this moment, Qi Anmei's gaze towards Ji Zhaole completely changed, and she wished she could strangle this audacious beast to death!

Qi Anmei said, enunciating each word clearly, "Ji Zhaole, do you know what the consequences will be for a member of the royal family to associate with the Six Paths of Evil and Demons?"

Ji Zhaole's ominous premonition came true. He looked at Yu Tunzhou in disbelief. How on earth had this guy persuaded Qi Anmei?

His gaze swept from Yu Tunzhou to Qi Anmei, his voice shrill. "Qi Anmei! Don't forget, you are an official of the Great Yan! You are paid by the Great Yan! If you collude with this traitor today to rebel against your superiors, it is treason! It is a crime punishable by the confiscation of your property and the extermination of your entire clan!"

Yu Tunzhou finally spoke, "Ji Zhaole, confess. Who is really 'plotting rebellion'? You don't get to decide that."

Ji Zhaole glared and said angrily, "I am the rightful heir of the Great Yan Dynasty. If my word doesn't count, then who does?!"

"Naturally, it's up to the Old Wang to decide," Yu Tunzhou said calmly. "Whether the world is in chaos or not, it's all up to the Old Wang."

These words made Qi Anmei's brow twitch slightly, and she thought to herself that if these words were to get out, who knows what kind of storm they would cause in the court?

At the same time, Yu Tunzhou's words were like a sharp knife, piercing Ji Zhaole's most sensitive nerve. His face changed from ashen to a near-manic flush, and he angrily denounced, "Traitors! You bunch of traitors from the Anguo Ji Clan! Everything I have done is for the well-being of all the people, you traitors—"

Yu Tunzhou interrupted, "For the well-being of all people? Isn't that ridiculous? Do you really think you're the Mandate of Heaven? You're all just after the throne beneath your butts. You can fool others if you want, but don't fool yourselves."

Qi Anmei coughed heavily.

The Mandate of Heaven and the imperial power are divinely ordained; this has been an unshakeable rule for thousands of years. This person truly dares to say it.

etc.

He glanced at Yu Tunzhou's profile out of the corner of his eye. The young face was completely expressionless, as if those words came entirely from his heart.

A chilling thought suddenly popped into Qi Anmei —how could Yu Tunzhou have such audacity?

A young man at the Chain Forming Realm, who ultimately comes from a poor background, should not be able to say such things, no matter how talented he is or how powerful the Great Hero Mo is behind him.

Ji Zhaole, his expression maniacal, declared, "The Great Yan Dynasty has stood for a thousand years. It is thanks to the diligent governance of successive emperors that we have the empire we enjoy today! You commoners, relying on your meager strength, disregard the law. Have you ever considered that without the Great Yan, without the royal family, this empire would have long since crumbled and been engulfed in war? Everything I have done is to ensure the continuation of the Great Yan Dynasty!"

"To prolong the dynasty?" Yu Tunzhou's voice was not loud, but each word was clear. "To prolong the dynasty with the blood of infants? To prolong the dynasty with the lives of the entire city's inhabitants?"

Ji Zhaole suddenly stiffened.

Yu Tunzhou didn't look at him again. He turned to Qi Anmei and said calmly, "Guardian Qi, I'm entrusting the man to you. Get the key to the Blood God Ritual as soon as possible. The ritual could be completed at any time, Helian Tu could arrive at any time. We don't have much time."

Qi Anmei walked up to Ji Zhaole, her face grim, and said, "This is troublesome. The royal family members all have the mark left by Dharma Aspect master in their Niwan Palace, so I can't directly interfere with their Primordial Spirit."

Just then, a commotion arose outside the hall.

Qi Anmei and Yu Tunzhou looked over together and instantly realized that the person who came was the steward of the Qingyang Prince's Residence's Mansion.

Yu Tunzhou suddenly said, "There's a Grandmaster of the External Scenery in the Prince's Palace, who should be one of the protectors of the Blood River Dao. His surname is Yin. This person shouldn't dare to show himself. Now that he's sent the steward of the Prince's Palace, it seems he wants to use the power of the Gold-Wielding Guard to deal with the Twin Rivers Wang Household, so that we can keep each other in check."

Qi Anmei instantly understood the key point and immediately decided to use this opportunity. She gave the order, her voice carrying far outside the hall. "Zhang Zhikui, take Qi's men and accompany Steward Liu to surround the Twin Rivers Wang Household! Order the Wang Household to hand over the prince, but do not take any action until I, the garrison commander, arrive in person."

At the same time, he also secretly instructed Zhang Zhikui not to make a move, as there were still unforeseen circumstances and he should await his orders.

After giving the order, he looked at Yu Tunzhou: "This should buy some time. Yin Jiuquan will never expect that you, Young Hero Yu, are the Old Wang's man. He won't resort to desperate measures."

As for Ji Zhaole ----

He clasped his hands in a fist and bowed, saying, "Young Hero Yu, rest assured, this garrison commander will extract all the information from him by evening at the latest!"

"I urge Young Hero Yu to make another trip to the Wang Household and inform Wang Chongyi that the Gold-Wielding Guard will join forces with the Wang Household to not only eliminate any hidden dangers within the prefecture, but also to launch a surprise attack on the Wang residence under the cover of night, achieving victory in one fell swoop!"

Qi Anmei, being External Scenery, actually clasped his hands in a fist and palm salute to Yu Tunzhou at this moment, not only to express his gratitude for Yu Tunzhou's timely discovery of the crisis at Shuanghe, but also to hope that Yu Tunzhou could put in a good word for him with the Old Wang.

After all, if a prince is subjected to torture, and the matter is exposed later, even if it is ultimately confirmed that Ji Zhaole colluded with the Six Paths of Evil and Demons, he will inevitably be punished. It is hoped that the higher-ups can help him withstand some of the pressure.

Yu Tunzhou returned the greeting, but couldn't help but mutter to himself that although he hadn't explicitly said he was the Old Wang's man, he had given plenty of hints. It was a classic case of using someone else's name to intimidate others. If he reported this later, these "little tricks" wouldn't escape the notice of those old guys.

I wonder what kind of person that Old Wang is, and whether he will hold today's events against him.

He shook his head. He was doing this for the sake of Twin Rivers Commandery. If that Old Wang cared more about the face of the royal family than the people of the county, then he was no different from the other prince.

Well, I'm afraid I won't be able to go to the Divine Capital in the future.

If all else fails, head towards the Northern Dark Sea.

He turned and left, blending into the crowd. Before the Gold-Wielding Guard arrived at the Wang Household, he found Wang Chongyi ahead of time and informed him of the results of his discussion with Qi Anmei.

After listening, Wang Chongyi's eyes gleamed. He hadn't expected that this man would deal with that old fox Qi Anmei so quickly!

He was even somewhat incredulous, wondering how this person had gained Qi Anmei's trust and even persuaded her to deal with Ji Zhaole.

Qi Anmei, as the commander of the Gold-Wielding Guard, directly confronting the Prince is a grave taboo!

Wang Chongyi spoke up, "I have mobilized all the martial artists of the Wang Household, and they are ready to take action at any time!"

Yu Tunzhou nodded. "Speed is of the essence in war. The Prince's Mansion won't expect us to join forces with the Gold-Wielding Guard so quickly. We should be able to catch them off guard."

In front of the Wang Household mansion.

Jin Shouzhong said, "Deputy Commander Zhang, why haven't you attacked yet?"

Zhang Zhikui said slowly, "Guard Jin, calm down. The Wang Household is not a pushover that you and I can easily bully. Even if we join forces, we are far from being a match for Wang Chongyi if we can't hold them off."

Jin Shouzhong his anger. "When exactly will Guardian Qi arrive? Every minute that passes increases the danger to the Prince!"

Zhang Zhikui shook his head and said, "Guard Jin is making a fuss over nothing. Even if the Wang Household had ten more lives, what would they dare to do to the Prince?"

--

But this is a heinous crime punishable by confiscation of property and extermination of the entire clan!

Normally, Jin Shouzhong wouldn't be worried, but he knew very well what the prince had been planning lately.

The Wang Household must have discovered something to dare to raid the Prince's mansion and kidnap the Prince!

He couldn't say these things to Zhang Zhikui, and could only anxiously wait for the arrival of Guardian Qi.

And they waited until evening!

Jin Shouzhong was already like a grasshopper in a frying pan. He paced back and forth in front of the Wang Household's gate, like a caged beast that had been locked up for too long.

Just as he was about to lose control of the rage within him, Qi Anmei finally appeared.

"Guardian Qi!" Jin Shouzhong strode forward, his tone filled with anger and anxiety, "The Prince has been trapped for a long time, how much longer will it take before we can storm the Wang Household?"

Upon seeing Qi Anmei arrive fully armed and clad in armor, Jin Shouzhong's anger subsided.

It seems this person does know what's important!

Qi Anmei stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze passing over Jin Shouzhong and landing on the two tightly closed vermilion doors.

"Guardian Jin, do not panic."

He spoke, his voice not loud, but carrying a calmness that compelled people to believe him, "This garrison commander has already engaged in a battle of Primordial Spirit with that old bastard Wang Chongyi and gained a slight advantage. Now is the perfect time to storm the Wang residence."

A flash of fierceness appeared in Jin Shouzhong's eyes. He had been waiting for these words for an entire afternoon!

"I will slaughter the entire Wang Household." His voice was low and menacing, every word seemingly imbued with murderous intent.

Qi Anmei nodded and said, "I will suppress Wang Chongyi. The rest is up to Guard Jin."

Jin Shouzhong didn't speak again. He turned around and took a step forward. The bluestone slab under his feet cracked, and the cracks spread in all directions like a spider web.

With his second step, he hurtled towards the two vermilion doors like an arrow released from a bow.

"Boom--!"

With a deafening roar, the Wang Household's gate exploded inwards like it was made of paper. Wood chips, copper pieces, and shattered bolts flew everywhere.

However, when he raised his head, a palm seemed to encompass the heavens and earth, pressing down upon him!

Wang Chongyi!

This person was actually guarding behind the door?!

Jin Shouzhong a chill run down his spine, but instead of retreating, he advanced, fully activating [Luo Rebellion-Quelling], and withstood Wang Chongyi's palm strike!

A mountain-like, heavy, imposing, and unstoppable force emanated from the opponent's palm. Jin Shouzhong groaned, his legs sinking completely into the ground, forcefully pressed into the earth by this palm strike.

His internal Rahu Gang Qi surged wildly, dissipating the overwhelming palm force layer by layer, but he still suffered considerable injuries.

The External Scenery Second Layer is ultimately separated from his Half-Step External Scenery by an entire major realm!

"Guardian Qi!" Jin Shouzhong roared hoarsely.

He needed Qi Anmei to make a move. As long as Qi Anmei suppressed Wang Chongyi, he could bypass the old man, storm into the Wang Household's inner courtyard, drag out all the Wang Household's martial artists one by one, and force them to reveal the prince's whereabouts.

In an instant, Qi Anmei twitched.

A punch was thrown.

Jin Shouzhong suddenly froze.

Because this punch landed squarely on his back, the force of which poured directly into his body, utterly destroying his Inner Heaven and Earth!

His fully activated "Luo Rebellion-Quelling Art Physique" was shattered by this punch, and his entire body was like a punctured air sac, with all his power draining away in an instant.

"Qi----An----Mei----"

Jin Shouzhong forced out these three words from his throat, each word laced with blood and foam, filled with disbelief.

The next moment, Wang Chongyi struck again, severing Jin Shouzhong's limbs and tossing him aside.

"The royal family's ' Rahu Rebellion-Quelling Cultivated Body ' truly lives up to its reputation." Wang Chongyi's tone carried a hint of solemnity.

Qi Anmei nodded. "It is said that this was passed down by the Human Emperor."

The two looked at each other, said nothing, but nodded at the same time.

The next moment, Qi Anmei raised his hand.

The Gold-Wielding Guard stormed into the Wang Household mansion!

In an instant, the sounds of clashing swords, colliding Gang Qi, angry shouts, and screams echoed from the front yard to the back yard, and from the back yard to the side yard, rising and falling in a chaotic yet orderly manner.

If someone were to observe from a distance, they would only assume that the Gold-Wielding Guard and the Wang Household were engaged in a fierce battle.

But if someone were to get closer, they would find that although the swords and knives were wielded with great force, they never actually landed on the opponent. The guy who was shouting and screaming was almost hoarse, but his skin was not even scratched.

Meanwhile, Qi Anmei's true elite troops, under the cover of this "melee," quietly withdrew from the side gate of the Wang Household, breaking into smaller groups and disappearing into the intricate streets and alleys of the county town.

Qi Anmei had already forced out the answers they wanted. Although Ji Zhaole didn't know the whole story, the ritual only needed to break most of the barriers.

On the Wang Household's side, Wang Chongyi had also made arrangements. The Wang Household's warriors were divided into several teams to cooperate with the elite of the Gold-Wielding Guard.

After all this was arranged...

"Walk!"

With a single word, the two, along with Mo Xia and the Half-Step External Scenery from the clan, rushed straight to the Qingyang Prince's Residence's Mansion with Yu Tunzhou.

Deep within the backyard of the Qingyang Prince's Residence.

Elder Yin sat on the stone bench under the withered tree.

"Elder Yin has a brilliant plan."

Hua Nongying stood beside him, her face veiled in purple gauze. Her voice was clear and melodious, her tone filled with sincere admiration.

"The Gold-Wielding Guard surrounded the Wang Household for an entire afternoon, and finally they made their move. Judging from the commotion, the two sides were locked in a fierce battle. Qi Anmei and those two old bastards, Wang Chongyi, are probably fighting like dogs in the Wang Household's courtyard right now."

"If Qi Anmei doesn't intervene after the Prince's abduction, he'll be derelict in his duty. But if he does intervene, he'll have no choice but to fight the Wang Household." Yin Jiuquan said with a faint smile, "This game was lost the moment he stepped into the Wang Household's gates."

Hua Nongying's eyes sparkled as she smiled and said, "While they're locked in a fierce battle, we can collect the baby's blood nearby, and the ceremony can be completed as early as tomorrow."

"Has a message been sent to Mr. Helian?"

"The message has been sent out, but no reply has been received yet."

Yin Jiuquan nodded in satisfaction, his smile deepening.

Just then, the smile vanished from his face.

Hua Nongying noticed that something was wrong with his expression and was about to ask him a question when Yin Jiuquan suddenly stood up.

His gaze was like lightning, shooting towards the direction of the Wang Household mansion, and for the first time, obvious surprise and doubt appeared in his cloudy eyes.

"Wrong."

"What's wrong?" Hua Nongying asked quickly.

"Qi Anmei and Wang Chongyi's auras." Yin Jiuquan's brows furrowed into a deep frown. "Although the Wang Household's commotion is significant, those two old geezers' auras—they haven't clashed."

Hua Nongying was taken aback, but then she realized what was happening.

When they clashed in the External Scenery, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth would inevitably fluctuate violently. Even though they were in the county city and the two of them were restraining themselves, the fluctuations could still be felt across half the county city.

Before they could ponder this, the two seemed to find themselves in a deep-sea whirlpool, the surrounding Void collapsing. A punch was thrown out from the Void, ancient yet powerful, causing Yin Jiuquan to change color in horror.

It was a feeling of "the sky collapses when the fist strikes," as if the entire sky was being crushed by a single punch!

This is—that Old Wang's [Heaven's Collapse]?!

Yin Jiuquan's pupils shrank to pinpoints. He didn't have time to think about why Qi Anmei was here; bloodshot eyes spread wildly.

"Retreat!"

He roared and struck Hua Nongying back with a palm strike, activating the Blood Sha Weapon on his body. Thousands upon thousands of Yin spirits surged out from it, transforming into terrified human faces to resist the punch.

"As expected of a demon's lackey!"

Qi Anmei snorted coldly and, with Wang Chongyi's help, threw another punch.

In an instant, the sky and earth changed color. Night was already approaching, but now it became even darker and deeper, as if all the light had been "plundered" by this punch, and billions of clouds gathered.

Upon seeing this punch, Yu Hua Nongying Yu Tunzhou about how he wanted to die, stopped in his tracks, his eyes showing a strange look.

This punch seemed to contain a world within it, displaying a fierce and domineering side, while also concealing subtle and gentle Fist Intent of yin and yang, forming a hidden net. The punch contained both yin and yang, hardness and softness.

Yin Jiuquan's expression changed drastically. He wanted to retreat, but with Wang Chongyi's attack, he had no chance to escape.

This punch forcefully "converted" millions of human-faced ghosts, arriving in the blink of an eye, and smashed through Yin Jiuquan's physical body with a single punch!

Yin Jiuquan's expression changed drastically. An external realm expert with External Scenery Inner Heaven and Earth possesses extremely strong vitality. He originally intended to use Qi Anmei's punch to retreat, but he did not expect that the other party was prepared in advance. This punch contained hidden internal force and directly smashed through his physical body, leaving him no chance to escape.

Enraged, Yin Jiuquan disregarded his own safety and slapped his palms together at Qi Anmei and his ears.

This punch prevented him from escaping, but it also locked Qi Anmei's arm in place!

But then, Wang Chongyi appeared out of nowhere and struck down on Yin Jiuquan's crown with a palm, forcing him to change his move and block.

The next moment, Qi Anmei's other hand grasped Yin Jiuquan's heart!

In a fleeting moment.

Under the combined attack of Wang Chongyi and Qi Anmei, two members of the second -External Scenery Second Layer, Yin Jiuquan was already severely injured!

"Good tactic—" Yin Jiuquan, covered in blood and disheveled, stared at Yu Tunzhou and said hoarsely, "Last night, was it you?"

Yu Tunzhou was still savoring the punch Qi Anmei had just delivered.

"Yin Jiuquan." Qi Anmei stood before him, looking down at him coldly, and asked, "Where are the last two key points of the Blood God Ritual?"

Yin Jiuquan coughed up a mouthful of blood, then suddenly laughed. His laughter was hoarse and manic, like an old dog whose spine had been broken, baring its teeth before dying.

"The last two key points of the formation?"

"You think that once the city's key formation is broken, the ceremony can't be completed?"

"Ridiculous! This Blood God Ritual is centered around Mr. Helian!"

"Originally, we only intended to destroy the Wang Household and then let Ji Zhaole and his forces turn the tide," thus securing control of Twin Rivers Commandery, but now—

His smile gradually twisted and became manic, and his aura grew increasingly violent.

"You are the ones who killed everyone in Twin Rivers Commandery!"

Wang Chongyi's expression changed, and he shouted, "Be careful! This is a forbidden technique of the Blood River Dao!"

Qi Anmei's expression was cold and sharp, and he was prepared. His punch contained the Dao of Void, sending the powerless Yin Jiuquan into it. Even so, a violent gust of wind still escaped from the Void, overturning the entire Commandery Prince Qingyang's Residence.
