For the next ten days or so, Ye Xuan devoted himself to diligent cultivation.

Especially after fighting against the Saint Zhunti, he naturally became even more aware of his own inadequacy.

We cannot rely solely on the Hongmeng Corpse-Driving System for our strength.

Having strong personal strength is also a crucial aspect.

Especially recently, he seems to have found some ways to utilize the Yin and Yang energies within his body.

During this time, Wushuang took care of his daily life closely.

Su Daji also came over often to help Wushuang take care of Ye Xuan.

After all, with Ye Xuan's clumsy and awkward nature, he probably couldn't even fit into the clothes of this era.

In later generations, he was only wearing a simple t-shirt and a jacket.

The clothes of this era were extremely complicated to wear, especially the emperor's attire, which was even more troublesome. Ye Xuan clearly couldn't handle it alone.

Fortunately, he had Wushuang and Su Daji, so he didn't have to worry too much.

That day Su Daji rushed over and leaned down to whisper in Ye Xuan's ear:

"Your Majesty, the sisters from Green Mound have sent word that Su Hu of Jizhou seems to have reached his limit of being monitored."

"They are currently assembling a large army and actively preparing provisions; it's highly likely they're about to rebel."

Upon hearing this, Ye Xuan was immediately taken aback.

Has Su Hu of Jizhou finally lost his patience and decided to rebel?

It must be said that the "Green Mound Shadow Guards" that he and Su Daji personally researched were indeed showing initial success.

From the very beginning of the design, the Green Mound Shadow Guards were intended to be the eyes and ears of the world.

It has only been built for a short time, and many parts are still unfamiliar, but it has been quite effective.

Basically, nowadays, the movements of the various lords and civil and military officials across the land can no longer escape the notice of the "Green Mound Shadow Guards".

It has indeed been quite effective. Jizhou Su Hu is only in the preparation stage, but the "Green Mound Shadow Guards" have already detected his movements and relayed the message back.

This organization can be said to have been created with the personal guidance of Ye Xuan, the creation of the Nine-Tailed Fox Lord of Green Mound as the main creator, and the assistance of the two sisters, the Nine-Stringed Jade Pipa Spirit and the Nine-Headed Pheasant Spirit.

The organization's first achievement was saving Shang Rong.

The second achievement was discovering that Su Hu were preparing to rebel.

Ye Xuan was quite satisfied.

Ye Xuan had personally visited Jizhou and had met Su Hu of Jizhou.

He originally thought that the main reason why Su Hu of Jizhou rebelled was because the foolish King Zhou coveted his daughter.

But that was not actually the case, because he met Bo Yikao of Xiqi in Jizhou.

Looking back now, it's highly likely that Su Hu of Jizhou had already reached some kind of agreement with Xiqi.

Logically speaking, if the Human Emperor takes a liking to Su Hu's daughter, Su Hu's status should naturally rise accordingly.

They even rose to become one of the most powerful feudal lords in the entire Yin Shang.

Strangely, however, that guy was incredibly angry. What did that mean?

This means that guy had been plotting against us for a while.

Having figured this out, Ye Xuan immediately dispatched Huang Feihu to lead the War Elephant Cavalry to station themselves near Jizhou.

He'd been waiting for a rebellion in Ji Jizhou; had it finally happened?

If that guy can hold on for a little longer, I might think more highly of him.

After all, they do have some degree of shrewdness.

But now it seems that Su Hu of Jizhou was actually the first to rebel, which shows he wasn't very bright.

At best, he was nothing more than a puppet manipulated by Xiqi.

Jizhou is located in the north and can basically be considered to be under the jurisdiction of North Marquis Chong Houhu.

He was one of the more powerful of the two hundred vassal lords under Chong Houhu.

In particular, the Seventy-Two Feudal Lords of the North Sea, led by Yuan Futong, rebelled.

Chong Houhu of the North Sea and Wen Zhong Grand Tutor Wen were both suppressed in the North Sea.

That's one of the reasons that guy couldn't hold back, isn't it?

It was an extremely prosperous place, one of the major commercial cities within the territory of the Yin Shang Dynasty.

Since ancient times, strategic location and economic status have been of utmost importance.

Su Hu had been stationed there for many years and had always been quite ambitious.

Furthermore, Su Hu maintained good relationships with many feudal lords, which earned him a good reputation.

In addition, he commanded tens of thousands of soldiers and had many fierce generals under his command.

His son, Su Quanzhong, in particular, was known as Wushuang loyalty and bravery.

So this is his foundation?

A mocking smile appeared on Ye Xuan's lips.

"Is this old bird finally about to lose his patience?"

"Since that's the case, then I'll make an example of someone who sticks their neck out."

"After taking down this ringleader, I'd like to see who else dares to rebel."

He then deliberately turned his head to look at Su Daji.

Su Daji was the daughter of Su Hu of Jizhou.

According to the original trajectory, he should have been possessed by the Nine-Tailed Fox Lord of Green Mound.

However, this Nine-Tailed Fox did not possess Su Daji; instead, it merged with Su Daji.

It still retains a large part of Su Daji's will.

Now that Su Daji's father has finally rebelled, it remains to be seen how this woman will react.

Ye Xuan turned his head and, sure enough, found that Su Daji's face showed a sorrowful expression.

Seeing the sadness on Su Daji's face, Ye Xuan felt a strange sense of joy.

This means that the Su Daji before us is not entirely the Nine-Tails Demon Fox; at least Su Daji's will also occupies a large part of her personality.

Because Ye Xuan still harbored some affection for Su Daji, the most beautiful woman among the Human Clan.

Although he didn't reject the Nine-Tails Demon Fox, he didn't particularly like her either. Compared to that, Su Daji's personality made him feel warmer.

With a sorrowful expression on her face, Su Daji felt Ye Xuan's gaze and immediately knelt down in front of him, prostrating herself deeply at Ye Xuan feet.

"Your Majesty, Daji has a request, and I earnestly hope that Your Majesty will grant it!"

Ye Xuan quietly looked at Su Daji at his feet.

Are you trying to plead for your father, who's planning a rebellion?

Su Daji lay prostrate on the ground, her forehead pressed tightly against the earth.

The icy temperature made her heart feel a little cold as well.

He sensed a chilling killing intent in the low voice.

The murderous intent made her tremble slightly, but she had a reason to speak.

Although Su Daji is now primarily Nine-Tailed Fox Lord of Green Mound, Su Daji own will is extremely stubborn.

Influenced by that will, she had no choice but to kneel and pray.

"Your Majesty, although I am not the Daji of the past, I still have a connection with Su Hu of Ji Jizhou. After all, I traveled the Primordial World in the name of Su Daji, so Su Hu of Jizhou can be considered my father."

"Although his crimes are heinous and unforgivable, I cannot remain uninvolved. I earnestly hope Your Majesty will spare his life."

"This humble woman begs Your Majesty to at least preserve a lineage for the Su Clan of Jizhou, so that the Su Clan may not be wiped out."

"If Your Majesty is angry, you may vent your anger on Daji. Su Daji will have no complaints. Daji wants to atone for the sins of the Su Clan of Jizhou in this way."

"Even if Your Highness were to cut me into a thousand pieces, I would have no regrets. I only ask that Your Majesty preserve some of the Su Clan's lineage."

At this point, Su Daji was kneeling on the ground, began to kowtow.

Each bang made a loud thud, and after only a few kowtows, Su Daji's forehead was already a bloody mess.
