What the emperor never expected was that the third prince Baiyunshan, whom he had always trusted, would poison himself and drive him to death step by step.
If Ye Xingchen hadn't appeared, the Heavenly Empire would have changed hands by now, and Baiyun Mountain would have successfully ascended to the throne.
Although King Yun holds almost half of the troops of the Emperor of Heaven, he only guards the borders and knows nothing about what is going on in the palace.
Therefore, if the emperor dies due to poisoning, Baiyunshan will definitely succeed in his conspiracy and inherit the throne.
Ye Xingchen led the army and moved forward quickly. He wanted to resolve this battle as quickly as possible.
Because Ye Xingchen still has many important things to do next, and he cannot stay in the Kingdom of Heaven forever.
As his strength becomes stronger, Ye Xingchen will naturally go to wider places, so the lower planes of Yunwu Continent cannot restrain Ye Xingchen.
"Your Majesty, something serious has happened."
Just when the third prince Baiyunshan was preparing to gather his troops and attack the imperial capital directly, a general rushed into the military tent and knelt down on one knee and said.
"What's going on? You're so flustered, don't you act like a general?" Baiyunshan scolded.
"The emperor sent Ye Xingchen as marshal to lead Yongzhou's 40,000 troops to Fengdu City." The general said hurriedly.
"Ye Xingchen? Didn't he disappear? Why did he appear again?" Baiyunshan said with a shocked face.
"Hmph, I'm just afraid that Ye Xingchen won't come." Elder Qian said with disdain.
Regarding the fact that the two martial arts sects of Yulei Sect were beheaded, Yu Tianxing did not let the people of the sect know at all.
If the people of the sect knew that a young man had killed two of the sect's highly respected Wuzong elders, wouldn't it be a great disgrace to the Yu Lei Sect
If Elder Qian knew that Ye Xingchen had the ability to kill Wuzong, I wonder if he would be so disdainful.
Even if Ye Xingchen used up the protective ninth-level killing formation, he still had no shortage of protection from the Martial Sect around him, so facing the two Martial Kings was not a problem at all.
"Ye Xingchen? Is he the legendary young man who is said to be so miraculous?" Elder Fei asked in return.
"This Ye Xingchen is a bit evil. He is under eighteen years old and has already reached the heavenly realm." Baiyunshan said with some amazement.
If Baiyunshan knew that Ye Xingchen already had the strength of King Wu, I wonder if he would be so surprised that his jaw dropped.
"Oh? He is a genius, but it is a pity that he cannot be used by our Thunder Control Sect." Elder Fei said regretfully.
"Elder Fei, you seem to have forgotten what your superiors told you when you left the sect." Elder Qian said with some dissatisfaction.
"Of course I know that if I meet Ye Xingchen, I will kill him." Elder Fei nodded and said.
"With two elders here, even if Ye Xingchen comes, he will never come back this time." Baiyunshan said quickly.
In fact, Baiyun Mountain is still a little afraid of Ye Xingchen, because he once led an army of 100,000 to defeat the 150,000 Jin army.
Moreover, Ye Xingchen's mysterious method of summoning monsters made Baiyun Mountain even more afraid.
After half a day of rapid march, at night, the army led by Ye Xingchen had arrived fifty miles outside Fengdu City.
After choosing a good place to camp, Ye Xingchen asked the army to set up camp temporarily.
Even if they want to attack the city, night is not a good time. Attacking the city at night will increase the number of casualties. Ye Xingchen will not do such a stupid thing.
"Whoosh."
A black shadow flashed, kneeling on one knee in front of Ye Xingchen.
"See the net master." The black shadow said respectfully.
"What important thing do you want to report?" Ye Xingchen asked.
"The two Martial Kings who went to assassinate the Third Prince Baiyun Mountain were killed." Black Shadow said calmly.
For recruited and well-trained killers like them, death is a normal thing.
In the eyes of the killer, they only had two choices: completing the mission or dying, so Black Shadow had no feeling at all about the death of the two Martial Kings.
"Okay, I understand, go ahead." After Ye Xingchen finished speaking, he waved towards the black shadow.
Immediately, the black shadow flashed and disappeared.
Ye Xingchen looked at the stars in the sky and pursed his lips slightly.
He expected that the assassination might fail, but he didn't expect that it would fail so completely.
"It seems that the Yu Lei Sect has sent experts here again this time." Ye Xingchen muttered to himself as he looked at the dark night sky.
Looking back on my journey along the way, I have forged a lot of grudges with Yu Lei Sect.
From the mysterious woman at the beginning to killing many powerful men of the Yu Lei Sect, Ye Xingchen and the Yu Lei Sect have reached a level where they will fight to the death.
However, Ye Xingchen always believed that as long as he was given enough time to grow, he would be able to destroy Yu Lei Sect.
You must know that Yu Lei Sect has been passed down for hundreds of years and its sect has a very deep foundation, but Ye Xingchen does not pay attention to it at all.
The reason why Ye Xingchen wants to establish his own power is so that when he encounters a strong enemy in the future, he can order the strong ones to go and kill him.
After a sleepless night, Ye Xingchen gathered 40,000 soldiers and horses on the morning of the next day and surrounded the four gates of Fengdu City.
The garrison of Fengdu City was only ten thousand, but Baiyun Mountain mobilized fifty thousand troops from other cities in order to attack the imperial capital.
In other words, Ye Xingchen's 40,000 army will fight against Baiyun Mountain's 60,000 army.
The key is that Ye Xingchen leads an army of 40,000 people and needs to attack the city. With the huge disparity in strength, Ye Xingchen's side is at an obvious disadvantage.
"Baiyun Mountain, come out and fight."
One of Ye Xingchen's generals rode out into battle and yelled at Fengdu City.
"You want to fight with my prince, are you worthy?"
The gates of Fengdu City opened wide, and an army rushed out. The general at the head yelled at Ye Xingchen's generals angrily.
Immediately, the two generals, whose strength was only about the seventh level of Xuanwu Realm, started fighting.
"Bring me the arrows."
While the two sides were fighting, Ye Xingchen ordered the soldiers to give him bows and arrows.
Immediately, Ye Xingchen drew his bow and nocked an arrow. A strong spiritual power was contained in the arrow. He aimed it at the enemy general's head and shot out.
The fight between the two sides has entered a fever pitch, and the enemy general did not react at all until Ye Xingchen fired a cold arrow.
When he came to his senses, he just felt a chill on his forehead, and then he fell off the horse and died.
After being shot to death by an arrow, the enemy general's eyes widened and he looked dead.
"Marshal is mighty." A general shouted loudly.
"Marshal is mighty, Marshal is mighty, Marshal is mighty, Marshal is mighty." Forty thousand soldiers roared.
For a time, the morale of Ye Xingchen's army was high, which was exactly the effect Ye Xingchen wanted.
When two armies confront each other, the higher their morale is, the stronger they will be at killing the enemy. Ye Xingchen uses this simple strategy with ease.
"Ye Xingchen, you are despicable. You shot my brother with a secret arrow. Let me kill you."
Another general from the Baiyun Mountain camp rushed out, holding a spiritual sword and riding a horse towards Ye Xingchen.
