Chapter 356 Attacking the Heart
The Third Princess's army, like a black behemoth, slowly and leisurely entered the capital amidst earth-shattering footsteps.

The first thing they saw upon entering was deathly silence.

Under Chu Lu's deliberate indulgence, the entire capital city became desolate and unbearable.

The streets, which used to be so crowded you could practically run a horse through them, were now deserted. The doors and windows of the shops on both sides were tightly shut, and the wind swirled through the alley, whipping up scraps of paper and dust, howling like a mournful wail.

This unexpected silence puzzled Khatun and Tielan, who looked around, trying to discern something.

The third princess, however, remained calm.

In her eyes, this was nothing unusual. They were just terrified by her absolute power and fled for their lives like frightened mice.

Similar situations have occurred many times before. It's just that none of them have been as thorough as this time. What's there to be confused about?
Thus the army marched straight in and stormed into the palace gates.

Just as they stepped into the palace, the long-awaited resistance finally appeared.

First came a thunderous roar: "Traitor, cease your arrogance!"

Then Huo Qi led the remaining few thousand imperial guards and resolutely rushed out of the palace gates. Each of them had a tragic expression on their face, clearly understanding that what they were doing was no different from sending themselves to their deaths, but they still came without hesitation.

The Khatun and Tielan were slightly taken aback by what they saw. They had thought the capital was already a shell of its former self, but they hadn't expected that someone would still dare to throw their life away.

But the surprise was fleeting, and the Khatun let out a sneer: "I didn't expect there to be any fools who aren't afraid of death."

Tielan smiled mockingly, looking at the charging soldiers as if they were a herd of livestock running voluntarily to the slaughterhouse.

In their eyes, this was nothing more than a farcical performance. They were too lazy to even lift a finger, and simply stood respectfully behind the Third Princess, waiting for her to unleash divine punishment.

"To be loyal to His Majesty! Kill!"

Without further ado, Huo Qi took the lead, his blade aimed directly at the Third Princess.

The third princess didn't even bother to look at him, and didn't even stop walking forward, simply raising her hand casually.

An icicle as thick as a large tree suddenly appeared out of thin air and shot towards Huo Qi. Huo Qi was startled. He couldn't dodge in time and could only grit his teeth and swing his sword to slash at it.

The longsword shattered into several pieces upon impact. The ice pillar, its momentum undiminished, slammed heavily into Huo Qi's chest, sending him flying.

Immediately afterwards, the Third Princess waved her hand again, and countless sharp ice spikes shot out from the ground, easily tearing through the armor and bodies of the Imperial Guards soldiers and impaling them one by one.

Blood was instantly splattered all over the square in front of the palace.

There were no screams, no time to struggle, and everything was over in the blink of an eye.

Huo Qi struggled to his feet, looking at the living hell before him. His vision was as if it had been stained with blood, a crimson expanse.

His face was contorted with rage as he picked up the broken knife from the ground, intending to kill the Third Princess again.

However, as soon as he staggered over, before he could even raise his knife, he was pinned to the ground by two female soldiers.

Unable to break free, he roared angrily, still unwilling to give up: "Witch! You are cruel and wicked, Heaven will never let you get away with this!"

The third princess ignored him, as if he were just an eyesore.

They continued onward, and after the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, they finally arrived at the main hall where Chu Lu was.

Upon arriving at the entrance of the main hall, the Third Princess stopped and instructed the two people behind her, "You two wait outside."

The Khatun and Tielan respectfully agreed.

The third princess then went inside.

The hall was spacious and majestic, with huge golden pillars with coiled dragons supporting the dome.

Chu Lu was sitting alone, calmly on the high-hanging dragon throne.

"You've finally arrived," Chu Lu said. His tone was unusually calm, showing no sign of someone about to become the ruler of a fallen kingdom.

"Get up." The Third Princess was as arrogant as ever. "That position should be occupied by a woman."

"Ha, that's quite blunt. But now that things have come to this, if you want me to get up, I can't refuse. However, I still have to ask one question..." He raised an eyebrow, "Why should I?"

The Third Princess's eyes subtly changed, becoming as if she were looking at a fool: "Because our woman defeated the Khan and became the master of the entire desert."

"Because we crushed Meng Xiao, killed all the male soldiers who stood in our way, and arrived here. Because we are stronger than you. And that position belongs only to the strong. Don't you understand this principle?"

"I see, I see, you make a lot of sense." Chu Lu nodded in agreement, but then his tone shifted, a hint of confusion on his face. "I admit, you are very strong. But what exactly is the connection between your so-called strength and the woman you speak of?"

He leaned forward slightly, his eyes piercing, and said, word by word, "You say that you women defeated the Khan, but wasn't it you who defeated the Khan?"

"On the verge of death, he's starting to go mad?" the Third Princess said calmly. "Am I not a woman? My victory is a woman's victory."

“Yes, you are a woman,” Chu Lu replied calmly. “But your power comes from magic. What does this power have to do with whether you are male or female? What you are proving is not the power of women, but the power of magic, it is simply your own power.”

“Foolish and laughable prejudice.” The Third Princess shook her head, as if lamenting the man’s ignorance. “Spellcasting is extremely difficult to master, requiring exceptional comprehension and divine favor from heaven.”

Therefore, you cannot do it; only women can. Women are naturally intelligent and possess an innate power of creation. So, of course, this is the power of women.

"I see." Chu Lu seemed to suddenly understand. "So you mean you believe that other women can also master such powerful magic as you."

“Of course that’s right.” The Third Princess raised her chin slightly, appearing exceptionally superior.

“In that case,” Chu Lu’s voice suddenly turned cold, “Since they can also master it, why don’t you teach them magic first, and then let them face Meng Xiao’s iron cavalry?”

"Terran was captured, the Khatun was defeated, and tens of thousands of female soldiers perished in the Black Pine Forest and the wilderness. All of this could have been avoided, but you deliberately refrained from doing so until they were almost all dead. Why is that? Did you intentionally want to kill them?"

The Third Princess's expression froze instantly. She hadn't expected Chu Lu to suddenly ask such a question, leaving her speechless for a moment.

Chu Lu gave her no chance to catch her breath. He slowly rose from his throne, looking down at her intently, and directly exposed her lie: "You can't answer because you know what you just said is all nonsense! That only women can master magic, that's all made up!"

You sent Khatun Tielan and his women there hoping they would achieve a great victory and prove they were stronger than men. But they lost, and you can't accept that, because it proves the opposite.

"You've proven that the female army you built up, the one that eats meat and drinks milk and trains every day, is nothing but chickens and dogs on the real battlefield!"

"You have proven that, against a well-equipped and well-trained male army, your sisters are utterly useless except to die in vain!"

"You have finally proven that the so-called 'women are born stronger' is utter nonsense! Because in the end, the one who turned the tide of the battle was not millions of women, but you—an unreplicable monster!"

Chu Lu's voice grew louder and louder, like a thunderclap.

"Your actions only prove that women are so weak that it takes someone as utterly irrational as you to barely defeat us!"

"And that's not the most ridiculous part. Do you know what's the most ridiculous part?" Chu Lu pressed on, "Actually, deep down, you already knew this all along."

"Otherwise, why did you use magic to freeze all the men in the desert into their tents after killing the Khan, preventing them from even leaving their homes?"

Because you know in your heart that as long as those men can move freely, you can't win! You've believed from the beginning that you're inferior to us!

"Shut up!" Under Chu Lu's relentless barrage of questions, the Third Princess finally broke down. She could no longer feign arrogance and indifference, and shouted angrily, "What do you know! That's because they haven't truly awakened! They haven't understood my truth!"

"Truth?" Chu Lu's question was like a hammer blow. "What truth? Is it your theory that women are gods? Even the Khatun couldn't convince you with that argument, and she even mocked you by saying that sows can give birth. You call that the truth?"

The Third Princess exclaimed in surprise, "How did you know...?"

While details of the killing of the Khan and the course of the battle could be explained by scout reports, her conversation with the Khatun was entirely private, and Chu Lu had no reason to know it.

Chu Lu didn't explain. He continued, "By the way, I remember that Tielan castrated all the handsome young men she kidnapped in order to enjoy herself safely, right? You even praised her for it. So, the so-called awakening is about abandoning humanity, indulging in desires, and becoming a beast? Then she should have awakened, right? How come she didn't win?"

The Third Princess's face was gloomy.

"So, instead of taking shortcuts, we should face the enemy head-on and crush them with overwhelming force? Wait, that doesn't make sense either, does it?" Chu Lu tilted his head, pretending to think, his tone almost overflowing with sarcasm. "When the Khatun went to the battlefield, didn't he listen to you and try to prove himself with pure violence? In the end, he didn't win either."

Chu Lu asked, puzzled, "So, what exactly is your truth?! What does your so-called awakening look like?"

She glared angrily at Chu Lu, her lips moving, but she couldn't utter a single word.

Normally, by this time, it would be the heroine's halo that would come out to clean up the mess. However, this time, although the halo behind her appeared early on, shining brightly.

But Chu Lu didn't suddenly burst into tears and admit his mistake like the others had done before.

Her mind was in complete chaos. She had never encountered a situation like this before and had no idea how to deal with it.

Seeing her speechless expression, Chu Lu knew the time had come.

"Speak!" He slammed his hand on the imperial desk, causing the writing brush, ink, paper, and inkstone to jump around.

The Third Princess was startled by Chu Lu's sudden attack, and her thoughts became even more chaotic, like a gear without lubrication, clattering and unable to turn.

"Stop pretending to be mute! Speak up!" Chu Lu took a deep breath and roared, "Say it!"

With a roar, he suddenly raised his hand and overturned the heavy imperial desk in front of him!
Memorials, imperial seals, pen holders... all the objects were thrown into the air in an instant, crashing to the floor with a deafening roar.

The entire Golden Palace was deathly silent.

The third princess was stunned by his sudden outburst of rage, staring blankly at him, still unable to utter a word.

Chu Lu looked at the still silent Third Princess with extreme disgust on his face.

"If you won't speak, then I'll speak for you," he said coldly. "There's no truth, no awakening. It's all nonsense, all lies you made up on the spot. It's a lie you fabricated to get other women to support you, worship you, and join you in killing us. All of this is just to satisfy your inexplicable resentment towards men!"

The moment the words left her lips, the Third Princess felt a surge of intense discomfort—a mixture of shame, panic, and anger—as if she had been spied on. It was the discomfort that only comes with the exposure of one's deepest, most hidden secrets.

The moment she realized this, she panicked. But immediately, an even greater surge of anger overwhelmed everything.

She absolutely refuses to admit it!
"You ignorant ant!" Her voice suddenly rose, babbling incoherently as if she were a madwoman. "You think you've won? Ridiculous! You don't understand at all! That magic is the power of women! Because I am a woman, my power is naturally a woman's! This is the authority bestowed upon us by the gods, the divine punishment formed from the wrath of all mothers! You don't understand only because you are lowly!"

She took a step forward, pointed her finger at Chu Lu, and her demeanor was more assertive than ever before.

"And failure! You think that's failure? That's sacrifice! Necessary suffering! It's to demonstrate the brutality of the male-dominated world, thereby awakening all women! Their deaths are heavier than Mount Tai! You fool who only cares about numbers have no idea of ​​the greatness behind it!"

"It was me! I deliberately sent them to their deaths! I deliberately let Tielan be captured! It was all my plan! A grand plan you will never understand!"

"You're questioning me? What gives you the right to question me? Are you allowed to sit in that chair because your mother gave birth to you?"

No! You acknowledge some vague, ethereal God as your father, but I came from the body of the woman who created life! I am the effect, you are the cause! I am the entity, you are the concept!
Every word I say is more real than your existence! You can't understand because you don't exist!

She became more and more agitated as she spoke, each sentence more bizarre and absurd than the last.

"Look at you! Look at this palace! It's all fake! Hypocritical! It's a huge lie you've fabricated to cover up your incompetence! But I! I brought the truth! I brought ice! Ice doesn't lie! Death doesn't lie! My power is the only truth in this world!"

"You think you've won? Hahaha! Foolish! Utterly foolish! I'm not debating with you! I'm judging you! I'm reading out your indictments! Every word you utter is just adding bricks to your own epitaph! The more you struggle, the deeper your sins become! The more self-righteous you are, the more justified your death becomes!"

She suddenly opened her arms wide, as if to embrace the whole world, or as if to crush it completely.

"Now! Do you hear that? The wind is crowning me! The snow is cheering for me! Every brick in this palace trembles because of my arrival! You are finished! The moment you uttered your first word, you were finished! Because I am the end!"
