"It's you!!"
Ji Shu looked at the familiar figure, it was Shan Xiongxin, who had been conquering cities and plundering territory all the way from the north of Xuzhou.
"Long time no see, Marquis of Anguo!"
Shan Xiongxin leaned on his golden-topped Zao-yang spear, standing in the void, looking down at the blood-soaked and weak Ji Shu.
Ji Shu stared intently at Shan Xiongxin. The fierce battle had already depleted most of his Yuan force, and he was severely wounded by Chen Taisheng's final blow.
Although the scarlet maggots had absorbed the heart blood of the Grandmaster Chen Taisheng, they could not immediately feed it back to the scarlet pupils on his forehead.
Facing Shan Xiongxin, who was at the fourth level of Grandmaster and full of energy, Ji Shu's heart wavered. The Tiangang Sect, having lost Chen Taisheng, was like a rootless plant and could no longer pose a threat to him.
This battle not only killed Chen Taisheng but also eliminated another arm of King Wu Ji Fa – the Grand Supervisor, Grandmaster Zhang Yan at the third level.
King Wu Ji Fa's Grandmasters were all wiped out. When he absorbed the power sealed by Mu Yang from the Soul Refining Palace's secret scripture, he would force Ji Fa to abdicate the throne. Sudan Novel Network.
After a moment of thought, Ji Shu smiled and said, "Shan Xiongxin, you won't be so lucky next time!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Shu waved his hand, and the Yizhou army retreated with a roar!
On the entire battlefield, only the Tiangang Sect and the imperial army were left, looking around in a panic.
Shan Xiongxin took a step forward, his Grandmaster-level power engulfing the entire battlefield: "Surrender and live!"
"Surrender and live!"
The fifty thousand elite soldiers of Wadang roared in unison, shaking the residual clouds in the sky and scattering the blood mist that filled the battlefield.
Su Hu, the Great Elder of the Tiangang Sect, knelt before Chen Taisheng's remains. After a moment of thought, he realized that the Tiangang Sect, having lost its Sect Master Chen Taisheng, had lost its qualification to contend for the world.
Su Hu clenched his fists, then slowly relaxed them, stood up, and looked at the surviving disciples of the Tiangang Sect, tears falling!
"Su Hu, the Great Elder of the Tiangang Sect, surrenders with the thirty thousand disciples of the Tiangang Sect to the Governor of Jizhou!"
As Su Hu spoke, he knelt on one knee and slowly presented the tattered imperial seal that Chen Taisheng had held.
Boom! Boom!!
The moment Su Hu surrendered and knelt on one knee, all thirty thousand surviving disciples of the Tiangang Sect also knelt on one knee!
Shan Xiongxin slowly descended from the void and walked to Su Hu. He took the mottled imperial seal and roared, "From now on, there will be no Tiangang Sect in the Wu Kingdom!"

Since the Tianmen Uprising, beacons of war had swept across the land of the Wu Kingdom. The magnificent rebel army, with its powerful momentum and fluttering banners, had swept across the nine provinces.
In the autumn of the 2433rd year of the Wu Kingdom calendar, the Tianmen Uprising army, which had swept across the land, came to a perfect end with the death of Chen Taisheng in Xuzhou.
The grand Tianmen army abruptly halted, leaving behind a scarred, dilapidated, and tottering Wu Kingdom.
As soon as the news spread, it shook the Wu Kingdom. Everyone thought the Wu Kingdom was about to collapse. No one expected that the Tiangang Sect, which had reached the peak of power and prestige, would collapse so suddenly. The entire Xuzhou was completely taken over by the Governor of Jizhou, Shan Xiongxin.
With the absorption of the remnants of the Tiangang Sect, Shan Xiongxin's momentum reached its apex, firmly suppressing Marquis Anguo Ji Shu.
When the news reached the capital, all the civil and military officials burst into tears. After a moment of relief, they considered this calamity to have been safely passed.
King Wu Ji Fa, with a grim expression, looked at the news from the front line. Every word deeply pierced his heart.
A year ago, he broke through to Grandmaster and secured his throne with powerful means. Three Grandmasters suppressed the court.
Just as he was full of ambition and wanted to carry out reforms to save the Wu Kingdom from its predicament, the Tianmen Uprising caught him off guard. The flames of war spread across the land of Wu, followed by the chaos of the remnants of the Soul Refining Palace, and the emergence of all sorts of demons and monsters.
This dealt a heavy blow to his precarious Wu Kingdom. Ji Hu bled in Yanzhou, and Zhang Yan lost his life in Xuzhou. The only two Grandmasters under his command had both died in the sky.
In the vast Wu Kingdom court, only he was left struggling to hold on.
King Wu Ji Fa walked to the Imperial Ancestral Temple and looked at the spirit tablets of the past Wu Kings. Tears immediately welled up in his eyes. How did the well-governed Wu Kingdom become like this in his hands?
Of the thirteen provinces of the realm, only Yuzhou and Sili remained in his hands. To the west of the capital, Yang Hao controlled Liangzhou and Yongzhou, dominating the northwest.
To the east, the Grandmaster Shan Xiongxin, whose origin was mysterious and background powerful, commanded a formidable army and successfully reaped the spoils of victory from the imperial court and Ji Shu.
Taking advantage of the deep involvement of the Tiangang Sect, the imperial army, and Ji Shu's forces at the junction of Xuzhou and Yangzhou, Shan Xiongxin launched a swift and decisive attack, rapidly occupying Yanzhou, Qingzhou, and Xuzhou. He cast a covetous eye on the three provinces.
The three southern provinces, Jingzhou, Yizhou, and Yangzhou, fell into Ji Shu's hands. Each of these three forces was stronger than him.
The covetous stares of the three factions made him unable to breathe.
What surprised and terrified him the most was that his informant in Bingzhou suddenly lost contact. Multiple secret agents were sent deep into Bingzhou, only to disappear without a trace.
This unsettling atmosphere once again dealt a severe blow to his fragile nerves. King Wu Ji Fa, with faltering steps, walked through the empty palace, his hair turning white in an instant, his face pale and weak.

One day after the fall of Tiangang, a massive cavalry force of about fifty thousand appeared at the border between Bingzhou and Sili, galloping south.
"General, beyond the fortress ahead is the capital of the Wu Kingdom."
Han Yuefeng Dao, driving his chariot, said solemnly to Xie Lüfeng San beside him.
Xie Lüfeng San looked up, and at the end of the sky, a majestic city, about tens of feet wide, loomed.
"Yulong Pass!"
Xie Lüfeng San said faintly.
"That's right, it's the gate to the capital of the Wu Kingdom, Yulong Pass. Legend has it that Ji Zhao, the founding king of the Wu Kingdom, destroyed the previous kingdom here, ascended to the pinnacle of the Wu Kingdom, and laid the foundation of the Ji family's empire for over two thousand years."
Han Yuefeng Dao said slowly.
"Yulong Pass! Notify the entire army, we must take Yulong Pass tonight. Tonight, I want to admire the thousand-mile landscape of the Wu Kingdom from the place where the first King of Wu ascended the throne!"
Xie Lüfeng San said heroically.
"Yes, General!"
Han Yuefeng Dao respectfully took the order.
Clang!
Han Yuefeng Dao drew the long sword at his waist and said, "All troops, obey my command! Take Yulong Pass tonight, charge!"
He raised his long sword high, pointing it at Yulong Pass!
That night!
The majestic and imposing Yulong Pass was suddenly engulfed in a sea of flames. Warhorses neighed, Yuan force fluctuated, and the earth rumbled!
An astonishing piece of information reached King Wu Ji Fa.
Bingzhou, where he had been immersed for half a month, had undergone a shocking change!
Fifty thousand golden soldiers on horseback marched south and had just captured the northern gate of the capital – Yulong Pass!
