He was not concerned with what the Imperial Capital thought. After years of development, the relationship between the Nine Great Families and the Imperial Capital had become quite delicate. From the very beginning, he had not expected any support from the Imperial Capital. Over the years, it had been continuously weakening the power of the Nine Great Families. For instance, in his own Yinzhou City, two of the main generals in the defense were directly dispatched by the Imperial Capital, while the others had varying degrees of connections with other families. This was part of the strategy of the Imperial Capital and the mutual vigilance among the families. As for Cheng Shi, he had only started utilizing him after taking over the Jin Family's authority. Over these years, he had formed a team belonging to the Jin Family.
"Release!" With a gesture from Yin Qian, cries of despair filled the valley. The strategy of attacking to rescue was something Yin Qian had learned from Mo Wen's military tactics. He understood these strategies at a glance because such methods were common in the martial world. After a series of arrows whistled through the air, Yin Qian was the first to charge into the valley. With a swift stroke of his blade, he killed an enemy general who was caught off guard. What followed was a one-sided massacre and battlefield cleanup: recovering arrows that had been shot and burying enemy corpses. The gorge needed to be cleaned up as if nothing had ever happened, awaiting the arrival of the next wave of enemies.

"What!" In the Red Fire City Lord's Mansion, Long Jiu's face turned pale as he stared wide-eyed in fury, smashing the table in front of him with a slap. He now had only twenty thousand soldiers left, while outside there were twice that number in Yinzhou Soldiers. For someone like Long Jiu, escaping would be easy; those three subordinates of Yin Qian outside would not be able to stop him. However, he could not take his soldiers with him. This would be considered fleeing, which was nearly impossible for him. This expedition was arranged by Sect for him; if he simply fled back now, not to mention whether Sect would punish him, just enduring their ridicule would be unbearable. His anger stemmed from the delayed reinforcements while his opponents claimed they had set out days ago. As for Black Tiger Camp, Long Jiu had long given up hope; he had received reports days ago that they had already surrounded Yin Qian in Yinzhou City. Now that Yin Qian's army appeared here, it indicated that this so-called siege was false. Given his understanding of Black Tiger Camp, it was highly likely that those Mountain Bandits had escaped.
"Go! Send my orders for Liu San to come personally! If I do not see him within five days, do not blame me for being ruthless!" Long Jiu commanded with a twisted expression, pointing at the messenger kneeling on the ground.

Atop a high mountain peak, snow lay unmelted year-round. The summit formed a flat plain surrounded by mountains—a stark contrast to the outside world—creating what seemed like another realm altogether. The scenery was beautiful, and at its center lay a lake with a small courtyard built beside it where two individuals were engaged in a game of chess.
"Interesting; the Gong Family can no longer hold back."
"Heh, other territories have already been divided up completely. If it weren't for Cang Yun being so special and barren, we probably wouldn't have waited this long."
"You see things clearly; if this stirs up those few individuals, the Gong Family might not be able to handle it."
"Those few have been missing for tens of thousands of years; major powers are likely forgetting their existence. Besides, which family doesn’t have a few scapegoats? When it comes down to it, all blame can be placed on one person who will then be sacrificed to silence everyone."
"I fear things aren't that simple; those pests have been increasingly active in recent years. Do you remember Mo Family Manor from a few years back?"
