"Seven hundred years have passed, and today I, Yang, finally stand at the foot of this imperial city.

Zhao Xuanyin, back then you accused me of having a traitorous appearance.

Thus you imprisoned my mother, locked up my wife and children as leverage.

Even when my mother fell ill and died, you did not allow us to say our last goodbyes.

Today, I, Yang Du, have arrived.

I'm here to show you, Zhao Xuanyin.

How your Zhao family's world will be destroyed by my own hands."

Despite his calm demeanor, Yang Du's words are filled with unforgettable hatred.

Primordial Spirit True Honor is not a saint.

Instead, having possessed unparalleled power in the world, their emotions are richer and more indulgent than other cultivators.

"Transmit my order, attack the city!"

With a wave of Yang Du's hand, the Six Provinces Alliance Army surrounding the entire Upper Capital Imperial City erupted with cries that sounded like an ocean's roar.

Arrows blanketed the sky, seemingly drowning the imperial city, and without the protection of the City Protection Array, the Forbidden Army defending the city could only try every possible method to block the terrifying number of arrows. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

However, the arrows used by the Six Provinces Alliance Army were specially forged magic arrows.

Not only are they sharp in material, but they also carry a substantial amount of Talismanic Forbidden Technique.

Any random arrow possesses the power of a full-force strike by a Cultivator of Dao, and though the Da Xuan Forbidden Army are all of Initiate Realm cultivation, with officers being Blood-Stained Realm cultivators,

they still struggle immensely against such an overwhelming deluge of arrows.

In the blink of an eye, a large number of Forbidden Army soldiers were being shot to death, their bodies becoming impaled, resembling unsettling porcupines.

"Tsk tsk tsk, too brutal, truly too brutal."

Beside Yang Du, a man with features like jade, graceful and charming, dressed in a blue and yellow ceremonial robe, approached leisurely. Observing the Da Xuan Forbidden Army killed by the rain of arrows, he lightly clicked his tongue.

This person is the Military Governor of Fujian Province, Feng Tianci.

Proficient in Artifact Dao, Alchemy Dao, and Talismanic Dao, he is revered as the Three Dao Grandmaster.

The province he governs, Fujian Province, is extremely prosperous, almost rivaling the Jiangnan Province directly controlled by Da Xuan.

His wealth is also immeasurable.

Rumors say that the financial resources of this Military Governor can even be compared to Shen Wansan, the Store Manager of Shen's Myriad Goods Pavilion with businesses spread across Da Xuan.

And the endless magic arrows from the Six Provinces Alliance Army were crafted by this man.

"Now I understand why you kept those magic arrows hidden without using them all along; you had already made the plans."

Standing next to Yang Du, Feng Tianci laughed softly, extending a finger to gently tap Yang Du's shoulder.

"Do not underestimate these Da Xuan Forbidden Army.

They are the Zhao family's elite forces.

The troops on the walls are intentionally used by them as bait to lure us.

Once we step into the imperial city, the hidden Da Xuan Forbidden Army will immediately emerge.

The Zhao family has held the Human Race Emperor title for over eighteen hundred years, naturally accumulating some foundation.

To my knowledge, Zhao Baye once managed to acquire a corner of the Array Map for the Military Killing Array from Outside the Domain.

It's called [North Pole Sect Kill].

This Military Killing Array originated from the North Pole True Saint, one of the Twenty-Four Divine Generals of Great Tang.

Once set in motion, it can invoke the intent of North Pole Zhenwu Xuan Sha, capable of disrupting the world and severing the cosmos.

Dao Alliance has decreed that during this battle, Primordial Spirit True Honor should not interfere further.

If this array unfolds, within the Royalist Camp, no one will be able to resist.

The Zhao family's plan is to use themselves as bait, lure our army into the city, then pull the rug from under our feet.

If this plan succeeds, the Royalist Camp's elites might be halved at least." Gazing at the imperial city overwhelmed by cries and screams that pierce the sky, Yang Du calmly reveals the dreadful danger lurking within this seemingly dominant situation.

"So what if we lose half? We can still destroy the Zhao family." Seemingly indifferent to Yang Du's words, Feng Tianci replies blandly.

"And after destroying the Zhao family, have you forgotten the three tiger wolves to the south?"

Yang Du's words cause Feng Tianci, previously nonchalant, to pause in surprise.

"Compared to the Zhao family, crumbling but not yet lifeless, those three tiger wolves are our greatest obstacle to seizing the throne.

If we don't eliminate them, we won't sit securely on the throne any day.".

"Though those three are dominant, their strength is far inferior to ours.

In terms of the territories they control or the number of troops under their command, they are likewise lacking.

Once we capture the Upper Capital, seventy percent of Da Xuan's territory will be under our control.

"What kind of turmoil can those three provinces stir up?" After a pause, Feng Tianci's expression remained calm as he pointed out the disparity between his side and the enemy's.

"Even so, Zhu Shanhe and Gao Tianxiong both possess the presence of mighty leaders.

Adding that enigmatic Li Huangliang to the mix.

The effectiveness of the three working together is truly incalculable.

Fortunately, now the Dao Alliance has personally issued orders to suppress the scale of the war; otherwise, if we were really to confront these three, I think we might not have much of an advantage."

At the mention of the Dao Alliance, Yang Du instinctively touched his left arm, under the robe was a dark purple handprint.

And the one who left this handprint was none other than his cousin.

The Supreme Sect Leader of the Domineering Body Sect, also one of the Ancient Sect Supremes secretly supporting him.

Skeptically glancing at Yang Du, Feng Tianci could not understand his behavior of boosting others' morale while dampening his own.

Although he had never confronted Zhu Shanhe and the others, he had heard some of their intelligence reports.

Zhu Shanhe, although renowned as the leader of the Twelve Directives Enforcers.

In reality, no one has ever seen him take action, and those who engaged him in battle have all perished.

And every time he acts, he sends people deep into Space-Bounding.

There, the Three Flavors Divine Wind rages, erasing all traces and scents, naturally making it impossible to investigate.

Therefore, among the Military Governors, many remain skeptical of Zhu Shanhe's true strength.

"Forget it, whatever you say goes.

For now, we need to quickly capture this imperial city; occupying this central location gives us legitimacy in our actions later."

Unwilling to argue further with Yang Du, Feng Tianci shifted his focus to the siege battle at hand.

The endless barrage of Magic Arrows devastated the Great Xuan Forbidden Army.

Originally hidden within the city, waiting for the elite of the Royalist Camp to enter before launching a surprise attack with [North Pole Sect Kill], the elite of the Forbidden Army had no choice but to reveal themselves early and join the battle.

Around the red walls and golden roofs of the imperial city, the sky seemed to tear, and the earth trembled.

Soldiers clashed like surging waves, each bursting with powerful spiritual power.

Talismanic techniques streaked across the sky like meteors, carrying mysterious power and light.

Divine Weapons gleamed coldly under the sunlight, and swords, knives, spears, halberds, and other weapons intertwined, sparking brilliant sparks.

Magic Artifacts took on various forms, some sturdy as a treasure cauldron, some radiant as a pearl, some graceful as ribbons.

Array Maps unfolded slowly in the void, like a giant scroll.

These talismanic techniques, divine weapons, magic artifacts, and array maps transformed into countless dazzling divine lights, continuously clashing.

Each collision triggered massive energy fluctuations, distorting the air.

And as the battle continually escalated.

Cultivators of the Blood-Stained Realm, School Affairs, Capital Commandants, Assistant Generals, and even generals of the Dao Body Realm began to take action, and the battlefield's horror intensified rapidly!

Magnificent and mysterious grand visions appeared in the void.

The entire imperial city seemed particularly solemn amidst this fierce battle, its red walls and golden tiles appearing even more dazzling under the glow, as if witnessing this historic battle.

The surrounding mountains, rivers, and lands trembled under this immense oppressive force.

And just as the imperial city was precariously on the verge of being completely breached by the Royalist Camp.

Deep within the city.

In the Taihe Palace, which once symbolized the power center of the Human Race, a lone figure sat on the golden dragon throne, which only the Emperor of the Human Race could sit on.

The extremely tragic cries of battle traversed the long jade-paved avenue, echoing inside this grand hall.

Piercing the ears of the silhouette seated on the dragon throne.

"Alas..."

After a long while, a long sigh echoed melancholically in this dim and gloomy hall.

At the same time!

The gate of the imperial city was breached, and the Six Provinces Alliance Army surged into the city like a tide, inflicting severe casualties on the Great Xuan Forbidden Army, unable to resist.

Snap!

With the Great Xuan banner standing tall on the Qiankun Gate of the imperial city brutally slashed down.

The Great Xuan Dynasty, which lasted for one thousand eight hundred and fifty-four years.

Was declared extinct!

PS: Thank you, brothers, for your concern. I was indeed startled yesterday. For the first time in my life, I felt an earthquake so clearly; the whole building was shaking, stupefying me on the spot. Many people in the neighborhood didn't dare return to their rooms to sleep and ended up sleeping directly on the street. This afternoon, there was another small earthquake of magnitude two; alas, truly trembling with fear.
