"Your Highness, how did you end up here?"
Xiao Li looked at Yan Yao in disbelief and said, "Aren't you supposed to be enjoying wealth and honor in Hengshan County? How could Ye Yang bring you out to wander and suffer?"
Yan Yao's face was cold as she replied, "Xiao Li, stop the nonsense. Let me ask you, when my brother made an agreement with Father, granting me Hengshan County, it was stipulated that Qi State and Yan State would not infringe upon each other. Now, you dare to mobilize a hundred thousand troops to the border of our two nations with the intention of encroaching on Yanmen County. Do you even regard me at all?"
Xiao Li responded submissively, "Your Highness, you may not know this, but Yanmen County has been a contested territory between Zhao State and Yan State for a hundred years. After Xiang Yu subdued the Zhao nobles, Yanmen County became a no-man's land. Now that Ye Yang has unlawfully occupied Yanmen County, it is equivalent to disregarding the lords of the world. Moreover, Yanmen County is rich in Azure Steel, the king of weaponry mines. Losing Yanmen County means losing the future for Yan State!"
Yan Yao said softly, "Shut up. You keep talking about the future of Yan State; to put it bluntly, you just want to invade my brother's territory. When Yanmen County was under Fan Zeng's control, why didn't you come to attack? Now that it has fallen into my brother's hands, you want to occupy it?"
"Your Highness, please do not make things difficult for me..." Xiao Li's face gradually paled as he said, "Before I set out, Sire issued a decree that anyone who obstructs Great Yan from taking Yanmen County will be executed without mercy. Furthermore, Sire knows that Your Highness might intervene and instructed me that even if it is the Princess who seeks to disrupt Great Yan's major affairs, she too shall be executed without mercy!"
"Oh?"
Yan Yao suddenly smiled and beckoned with her delicate finger, saying, "Come on, Xiao Li. I want to see how you can kill me now!"
"Your Highness, you are pushing too hard!"
Xiao Li raised his spear and let out a fierce shout as he leaped off his warhorse. The spear transformed into a green wolf's head and lunged fiercely at Yan Yao with immense power.
Yan Yao stood still as her skirt swayed lightly around her. An overwhelming aura pressed down on Xiao Li's attack energy until it nearly deformed!
"Bang bang bang..."
Three Purple Ice Crystals shot through the air and directly tore apart Xiao Li's offensive.
"Bang!"
The fourth ice crystal struck Xiao Li squarely in the chest. With just one blow, he staggered back and spat out blood. Having just entered the Stellar Realm, how could he possibly be a match for Yan Yao?
...
"Rustling..."
Ice Shards swirled violently in front of him, blood gushing from the wound, deep enough to see bone. Xiao Li looked down at his injury, his eyes filled with horror: "This... how is this possible? What kind of technique is this? How could His Highness become so powerful? You... you can't possibly be Yan Yao!"
Yan Yao's gaze was icy: "Xiao Li, open your eyes wide. This is Serene Gate's Sister Yun's ultimate skill, Ice Crystal Technique, a Celestial Tier Martial Art. It is not something your lowly techniques can compare to!"
Beside Xiao Li, a group of Yan National Talent soldiers retreated in shock, their faces displaying disbelief: "What should we do? General, the Princess is personally blocking us, and her martial arts are so formidable. We... we have no room to negotiate. If we injure the Princess, and Sire blames us, we are finished..."
Xiao Li's face turned ashen: "Sire has given orders. We must seize Yanmen County, or we will return to the Lower Capital with our heads on pikes..."
"What... what should we do?"
Xiao Li raised his spear and shouted: "Archers, aim at this woman in front of us! Use poisoned arrows and shoot! She is an imposter posing as the Princess, kill her!"
Immediately, a group of archers from the Yan Kingdom drew their bows, and with the twang of bowstrings, countless arrows flew towards Yan Yao.
...
"Boom!"
Suddenly, a gust of wind arose, swirling around the arrows and rendering them powerless. Amidst the chaos, a figure descended with an imposing presence, wielding the Azure Soul Sword. It was none other than Ye Yang.
"You..." Xiao Li recognized Ye Yang at once. At that moment, Ye Yang's aura radiated outward, incredibly overwhelming. The terrifying power made Xiao Li feel a chill run down his spine as he pointed at Ye Yang: "You are Ye Yang, you..."
Ye Yang smiled slightly: "Xiao Li, since you recognize Yan Yao and are a renowned general of the Yan Kingdom, I will spare your life today. I won't kill you, but you must come with me to the Lower Capital."
"To the Lower Capital?" Xiao Li narrowed his eyes: "What do you want?"
Ye Yang laughed heartily. Focusing his True Qi, his voice rang out clearly as he said: "Listen well. Since the Yan Kingdom has torn up the agreement and waged war against my Qi Land, I, Ye Yang, will: seize the Lower Capital, dethrone King Yan, and establish a new ruler!"
"What..."
Xiao Li was furious, his spear's edge gleaming ominously: "You audacious brat! What do you take me, Xiao Li, for?"
"Seeking death!"
Ye Yang whispered, and suddenly, a powerful pressure descended. The pressure of a Starry Sky Seventh Level expert enveloped the surroundings. Xiao Li immediately felt the terrifying pressure from Ye Yang; his spear could not move at all, and even the shaft of the spear bent under the force, snapping with a clang into two pieces.
"Boom!"
A hand engulfed in flames rose, and Ye Yang struck down with a knife-hand blow to Xiao Li's ribs. The sound of cracking bones echoed as the Starry Sky Level expert had no power to resist, collapsing weakly under Ye Yang's grip.
"Hmph! Useless..."
Ye Yang reached out and grabbed Xiao Li, tossing him directly to Liu Meng. He commanded, "Bind him with iron chains and transport him in a prison cart. Immediately head to Hengshan County. Also, send a message to me right away; all troops at the Hengshan County fortress must mobilize. Tomorrow at noon, Cavalry will attack the Yan Kingdom and launch a night raid on Lower Capital!"
Liu Meng nodded, "Yes, my lord!"
...
Meanwhile, Yan Yao looked at Xiao Li and murmured, "Brother, are you really going to depose Father?"
"Yes."
"Then who will be made king?"
"Isn't it obvious?" Ye Yang looked at Yan Yao with a smile.
"Me?"
"Exactly!"
Yan Yao was taken aback, "But I'm a daughter; how can I be king?"
Ye Yang chuckled lightly, "If I say you can, then you can!"
Yan Yao fell silent, but soon her gaze became resolute as she softly said, "Brother, if I govern the Yan Kingdom, there will definitely be no endless wars..."
"Yes, I believe in you. Don't worry, the troops under my command are your strongest support!" Ye Yang replied.
"Good, brother, there is one more thing..."
"Don't worry, I won't kill King Yan. Instead, I will let him live comfortably in the palace for the rest of his days, and you can stay by his side." Ye Yang seemed to see through Yan Yao's thoughts.
Yan Yao's beautiful face flushed red. "Brother, how can you read minds?"
Ye Yang smiled and said, "Because Yan Yao's thoughts are too simple!"
"That's not true..."
...
The next day at noon, Ye Yang arranged everything. Liu Meng stayed behind to continue guarding Yanmen County while he flew with Yun Xiaoxi and Yan Yao to Hengshan County to meet with Zhang Tianhe and others.
When they arrived at the camp in Hengshan County, Zhang Tianhe, Zhao Yun, Zhang Fei, and others had already gathered their troops. The grand army of 150,000 Qi soldiers was slowly advancing towards Lower Capital, stretching for miles with ample supplies and provisions in tow.
Under the cover of night, they launched a surprise attack and reached within ten miles of Lower Capital by noon the next day. After setting up camp and allowing the soldiers to rest fully, they immediately began their siege!
...
Faced with the elite forces of 150,000 from Qi State, the Yan Kingdom had no power to resist.
King Yan trembled as he approached the edge of the city and angrily shouted, "That good-for-nothing Xiao Li claimed he could single-handedly subdue Qi State! Why is it that now Qi State is at our doorstep? Where is that Xiao Li? What happened to my tens of thousands of troops?"
At that moment, a prison cart was pushed out, revealing Xiao Li sitting weakly inside.
Ye Yang, armed with two long swords, rode his horse to the foot of the city and smiled slightly. "Xiao Li is here. The tens of thousands of Yan troops were left behind in Yanmen County. Is there a problem, Sire?"
King Yan glared with blood-red eyes, pointing at Ye Yang: "You rebellious brat Ye Yang, how dare you be so bold?"
Ye Yang's gaze turned cold: "I am not a citizen of the Yan Kingdom, so how can I be considered rebellious? You old fool, you dare to covet my Yanmen County. Today, I will flatten the land of the Yan Kingdom. Hmph, it is time for a change in the entire Yan Kingdom!"
As he spoke, Ye Yang raised one hand and shouted: "Hengshan County troops, heed my command, begin the siege immediately!"
Suddenly, four Starry Sky Generals drew their Blades and simultaneously unleashed the energy of Raging Sword Roar!
"Boom boom boom boom..."
The city shook as what appeared to be sturdy walls were instantly breached with four large holes. Under the might of the Starry Sky Generals, conquering the city was simply a piece of cake!
"Rumble rumble..."
The sounds were relentless as a large section of the wall collapsed. Countless Vermilion Bird Knights wielded their Blades and charged in, while the soldiers of the Yan Kingdom did not dare to resist.
With a thud, King Yan fell to his knees, weakly saying: "It's over. The Lower Capital has only ten thousand defenders; the Yan Kingdom is finished..."
