Ye Xuan looked at Su Hu in front of him, a faint anger suddenly appearing in his eyes.

He had originally thought that his time travel had caused some kind of butterfly effect, and that Su Hu of Jizhou would no longer rebel.

Su Hu of Jizhou has rebelled again; it seems a leopard can't change its spots.

Ye Xuan walked to Su Hu with his hands behind his back, followed closely by Wushuang and Su Daji on either side.

Wushuang was somewhat better off, since it was none of her business, and her heart was entirely devoted to Ye Xuan.

He even developed a slight aversion to Su Hu.

His Majesty is extremely busy with Wushuang affairs of state, and Wushuang sees this and feels deeply pained.

Now, for this damned fellow, they've traveled thousands of miles to Jizhou; they truly deserve to die.

Meanwhile, Su Daji, on the other hand, was feeling extremely heavy-hearted.

Her face was slightly pale, which surprisingly revealed a different kind of pitiful beauty.

At this moment, her gaze was fixed on her father and mother.

A jumble of emotions swirled in her eyes, ultimately making her face even paler.

The Nine-Tailed Fox of the Qingqiu Fox Clan clearly understood Su Daji quite well.

Therefore, the current Su Daji is dominated by the personality of the original Human Clan Su Daji.

After all, this matter was the deepest obsession in the heart of Su Daji, Human Clan.

She naturally understood what this meant for Su Daji.

If not handled properly, it could create an extremely deep-seated inner demon within the merged souls of the two women.

Therefore, the current Su Daji can basically be considered a genuine Human Clan Su Daji.

At this moment, the Human Clan Su Daji takes the lead, while the Nine-Tailed Fox Lord of Green Mound abandons everything, allowing Daji to take full control.

At this moment, Su Daji was naturally overwhelmed with a mix of emotions.

It truly was a mix of emotions, a feeling of utter helplessness.

Ye Xuan stepped forward and looked at Su Hu kneeling at his feet.

"Su Hu, have I treated you badly?"

"You actually dared to rebel, setting a precedent among all the feudal lords in the land. I must say, you really have guts!"

"But did you consider the consequences of doing this?"

"Now that I have come here in person, I wonder what your thoughts are?"

There was some anger in Ye Xuan's eyes.

Now, having returned to Jizhou for the second time, the city is still the same city, and the people are still the same people.

But things are no longer the same.

It truly is a return to Jizhou, witnessing all the sorrow and desolation.

Ye Xuan's words were calm and understated, but to Su Hu, they sounded like a terrifying death knell.

Su Hu, kneeling on the ground, had a bitter look on his face.

What's the point of saying anything now?

He had nothing to say.

Su Wan, who was behind him, also knelt down on the ground.

She merely turned her head slightly and secretly glanced at Su Daji beside the Human Emperor.

But he found Daji staring at him with a bleak look in her eyes.

Su Wan smiled slightly, a hint of relief in her eyes, as if she were saying goodbye, and then buried her head deeply.

Being able to see my daughter one last time at this moment, I guess I have no regrets.

Such a gaze appeared extremely profound in Su Daji's eyes.

A storm raged within me.

A moment of silence fell over the scene.

Su Daji finally took two steps forward and knelt down beside Ye Xuan.

She buried her head deeply in the ground in front of Ye Xuan's toes.

Ye Xuan looked at Su Daji kneeling before him once again and couldn't help but feel a slight headache.

Are you here to plead for your father?

Su Daji remained silent; she didn't know what to say.

She pressed her forehead tightly to the ground, but the cold temperature of the ground couldn't compare to the chill in her heart.

She knew that His Majesty possessed an overwhelming killing intent.

Taking such actions at this time could very well displease His Majesty.

But she had no other choice.

Huang Feihu, who was standing to the side, couldn't bear to watch any longer. He turned around slightly and sighed softly.

They dared to openly rebel; who can they blame?

Seeing this scene, Su Hu was also moved to tears.

It's unbelievable that Su Hu, the dignified Marquis of Jizhou, has fallen so low as to have to beg for mercy on his knees because of his daughter.

Ye Xuan looked at Su Daji kneeling at his feet.

"Do you really think that by doing this, I'll let your father off the hook?"

Su Daji's heart grew colder and colder. She felt the Emperor's anger and understood it.

But she had no choice; there were some things she had to do.

For a moment, the field fell silent.

At this crucial moment...

Another formidable general, Zheng Lun General Heng, strode in with his head held high.

He didn't even glance at Su Hu kneeling on the ground.

He went straight to Ye Xuan's side and whispered his report.

"Your Majesty, the army of Chaoge has completely taken control of Jizhou."

"Sixty thousand soldiers were killed in Jizhou, and seventeen thousand were captured."

"Perhaps many soldiers from Jizhou are still mixed in with the civilians, but no one dares to make any rash moves anymore."

What should be the next step?

Upon hearing this, Ye Xuan fell silent.

The atmosphere on the field became increasingly tense.

There was no more life.

Everyone was waiting for Ye Xuan's decision.

Ye Xuan's face was ashen, and he remained lost in thought for a long time.

Finally, he uttered two words.

Cold and filled with murderous intent.

"Slaughter the city!"

"Leave no one alive!"

These words sent chills down the spines of everyone present.

Whether it was the Su Hu Jizhou or the protection of Su Wan.

Or perhaps it's Huang Feihu, Zheng Lun, or Su Daji.

I never expected His Human Emperor to say such a thing.

Massacre?

His Human Emperor intends to massacre the city?

And they want to leave no one alive?

For a moment, everyone present felt their scalp tingle and their liver and gallbladder tremble.

No one could have imagined that His Human Emperor, who was always so wise and sagacious, would make such a cruel decision.

The city was massacred; not a single chicken or dog was spared.

What kind of place is Jizhou?

Jizhou has been a formidable city since ancient times.

It can be said to be one of the few large cities in the entire Yin Shang territory, and it has always been quite prosperous.

The combined population of the common people and the garrison troops was no less than two million annually.

Especially in recent years, the population has gradually approached three million.

However, faced with such a large population and such a massive Jizhou City, His Majesty issued an order to massacre the entire city?

Everyone was terrified, staring at His Human Emperor in utter horror.

Speechless with astonishment.

Ye Xuan turned around, took a few steps forward, and looked icy cold.

After a long silence, he finally spoke again, but his voice was extremely hoarse.

"Huang Feihu, Zheng Lun!"

Both of them trembled upon hearing the sound.

"Your subordinate is here!"

Ye Xuan's slightly hoarse voice came out once again.

"Prepare to massacre the city!"

"You two must remember this: weapons are inauspicious instruments, not the possessions of gentlemen. They should only be used as a last resort, and in the meantime, tranquility is paramount."

However, there are always exceptions!

"The wicked bandit Su Hu of Jeju has set a precedent for rebellion. If he is not dealt with properly, dangers will surely lurk everywhere. You must know that all eight hundred lords of the realm are watching."

"In an avalanche, no snowflake is innocent."

"If we return to five cities today and ten cities tomorrow, how can Chaoge possibly survive?"

"If we ignore it or handle it improperly, we might get a night's rest, but when we look around, rebel troops will arrive again. What should we do then?"

"A single punch can ward off a hundred!"

"Slaughter one city, and you'll be spared the slaughter of ten! Go and prepare, I will bear all the blame!"
