Starting as pearl divers, they have endless jobs.

Chapter 64 The Ancestor emerged from seclusion, and then...died!?

Under the cold command, an even bloodier purge was launched.

Countless officials and powerful families were executed, while the common people were much more peaceful. Just when everyone thought the situation was settled, a piece of news shocked the entire Dayong army.

Xue Hanjiang, the last remaining patriarch of the Great Liang Kingdom, has emerged from seclusion and is now heading alone to Luoyang City, his target being Bai Yuege.

Upon hearing this news, all the officers and soldiers in the army were horrified.

After all, a master of this level is a terrifying figure who can turn the tide of battle single-handedly.

All the generals advised Bai Yuege to temporarily avoid the limelight, and even to withdraw from Luoyang first, and then plan a later strategy.

However, after listening, Bai Yuege simply asked a question.

How much longer until he arrives?

"The earliest... is noon the day after tomorrow."

"okay, I get it!"

"General, this..."

"All of you, step back." Bai Yueduo waved her hand, interrupting her subordinate. "I will make my own decision on this matter."

No one dared to disobey, and they could only leave with heavy hearts.

Chen Ye, as the commander, stayed until the end.

He saw Bai Yuege walk to the huge sand table, his finger lightly tracing the territory of the Great Liang Kingdom, finally stopping at Luoyang, where the flag of the Great Yong Kingdom had already been planted.

“We killed Xiang Wu and wiped out tens of thousands of his main forces, yet there are still people in the Great Liang Kingdom who refuse to admit defeat.” She seemed to be talking to herself, but also to Chen Ye.

"In that case, let's kill another Xue Hanjiang."

Chen Ye's heart sank.

He saw a flame burning in Bai Yuege's eyes that he had never seen before.

"Pass down the order: from this moment forward, no one is allowed to approach within a hundred paces of the commander's tent."

"Yes, sir!" Chen Ye hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed in a deep voice.

He finally understood why the Bai family was called madmen, because they were not only madmen towards others, but even madmen towards themselves.

Bai Yuege is clearly putting himself into the game, using his most important pawn to lure out the last big fish of the Great Liang Kingdom!
The risks of doing so were extremely high, but in Bai Yuege's view, as long as this Ancestor Zhenshi was killed, the last pillar of the Great Liang Kingdom's spirit would completely collapse, and there would be no possibility of a comeback.

Therefore, this deal is a good one!
Meanwhile, as the news spread, the atmosphere in the capital of Daliang became strange. The common people didn't seem to care, since it didn't matter to them who was emperor.

However, those hidden martial arts masters and families were eager to seize the opportunity to make a big splash.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

Inside the palace, Bai Yuege sat alone behind his desk, quietly wiping the long sword in his hand.

Following military orders, Chen Ye stood guard a hundred paces away, glancing at the sky from time to time to estimate the time.

Suddenly, a figure appeared on the roof of the palace without warning.

This was an old man with white hair and beard, dressed in a blue cloth robe. He looked unremarkable, but his appearance made the air in the entire palace seem to freeze.

Moreover, with each step he took, his aura grew stronger.

Upon entering the main hall, Xue Hanjiang's aura was so powerful that it was almost impossible to look him in the eye.

"You're right on time!" Bai Yuege said casually as he sat behind his desk, wiping the knife in his hand, showing no sign of nervousness.

Xue Hanjiang stared intently at Bai Yuege, then slowly said, "The Bai family really does things by any means necessary."

"Thank you for the compliment." Bai Yuege smiled slightly and even bowed slightly, his manners were impeccable.

"You're asking for death!" Xue Hanjiang's eyebrows shot up, clearly enraged to the extreme.

He then disappeared from the spot.

The next moment, Xue Hanjiang appeared in front of the desk like a ghost and slapped Bai Yuege with his palm.

This palm strike seemed ordinary, yet it appeared to seal off the entire space, leaving no room for escape. Bai Yuege swung his blade and brought it down.

The sword light was like a dream, but it shattered immediately. Bai Yuege was sent flying backward and crashed heavily into the pillar behind him, spitting out mouthfuls of blood.

The Ancestor Who Guards the World is terrifying indeed.

This has even exceeded the comprehension of ordinary people, reaching the standard of immortals in the eyes of the world, and therefore they are also called terrestrial immortals.

"It's over." Xue Hanjiang stepped forward, his expression indifferent.

But at that moment, Bai Yuege, who was lying in a pool of blood, suddenly broke into a bright smile.

There was no fear or resentment in that smile, only a morbid, almost manic excitement.

"Yeah, it's over."

She said softly, then suddenly opened her arms and hugged Xue Hanjiang's thigh tightly.

"Come with me."

As he spoke, Bai Yuege pulled on the tinderbox, instantly igniting the oil soaking his body, and then lit the fuse of the explosives tied to it as well.

More explosives were buried beneath the base of the main hall. Once the explosives on Bai Yuege's body detonated, the explosives below would trigger a chain reaction.

This was the result of her busy work over the past two days, all for the sake of killing Xue Hanjiang.

Xue Hanjiang was utterly horrified; he never imagined this woman could be so insane!

"madman!"

He tried to break free and escape, but it was too late.

"So you can be afraid too. It seems that the immortals of the land are not real immortals after all!" Bai Yuege, who was already engulfed in flames, showed no sign of pain, and his tone was completely calm.

Then, with a loud bang, the explosives on her body detonated first, and Xue Hanjiang was blown away and seriously injured.

But he still wanted to run away.

But just then, a deafening roar resounded.

"No..." he screamed in agony, mustering all his strength to try and escape.

But as Bai Yuege said, although he was called a terrestrial immortal, he was ultimately not a real immortal.

boom!
The terrifying explosion collapsed the entire hall, and dazzling flames shot into the sky, turning half the sky crimson.

Everyone was stunned by this tragic and insane scene.

Forced back by the shockwave, Chen Ye looked at the ruins before him, his heart filled with turmoil that he could not calm down for a long time.

This woman... is a complete madwoman.

In order to take Xue Hanjiang away, he was willing to sacrifice himself in the explosion.

Before anyone could react, a woman dressed in black with a blank expression walked up to him.

She was Bai Yuege's personal guard and also a loyal bodyguard of the Bai family.

“General Chen,” the woman handed over a letter, “this is what the Great General instructed me to personally deliver to you before his death.”

Chen Ye took the letter, but before he could say anything...

The woman took a step back, bowed deeply to him, and then suddenly drew the short knife from her waist and slashed her own neck without hesitation.

Blood gushed out, and she fell straight down, without a trace of pain on her face, as if she had simply completed a mission.

Seeing this, Chen Ye held the still-warm letter in his hand and remained silent for a long time.

He increasingly felt that Wang Xing was right; there were indeed no normal people in the Bai family.

Then he opened the envelope and took out the letter inside.

Upon unfolding the document, Chen Ye's face showed an unprecedented look of astonishment.
