The siege targeting the Ninth Prince is about to begin...

...

In the Gu family home in Southwest Road, sunlight streamed through the windows, illuminating the room with a bright glow.

Xiao Ruofeng sat quietly in the main seat, his gaze slowly sweeping over Gu Jianmen and Lei Mengsha below.

A faint smile appeared in his eyes, seemingly containing endless gratitude.

Xiao Ruofeng said softly:

"With the help of my two senior brothers this time, I, Ruofeng, hereby guarantee that if things go well, I will definitely appoint my two senior brothers as kings."

His words conveyed a deep sense of gratitude, as if every word carried his heartfelt sincerity and appreciation.

Lei Mengsha smiled slightly and waved his hand, saying, "Seventh Brother Xiao, you're being a bit too polite with your words."

My help to you is not out of self-interest, but because I value our long-standing brotherhood.

As for whether or not I am granted the title of king, it doesn't matter to me.

........................

His tone was firm and sincere, and his eyes shone with a bright light, revealing a magnanimity and carefree attitude that transcended fame and fortune.

Gu Jianmen also smiled and echoed:

"That's right, Xiao Laoqi. Back in Tianqi City, if it weren't for your generous support, how could the two of us have been able to go to the Hundred Flowers Pavilion to enjoy ourselves every day?"

His laughter was hearty and unrestrained, like a gentle breeze that brought joy to the heart.

After hearing their words, Xiao Ruofeng felt a warm current surge in his heart, a sincere smile appeared on his face, and he said affirmatively:

"My two senior brothers, there's no need to be so polite. You've risked being executed along with your entire families to help me seize the throne!"

If we succeed, I will still keep my promise and will definitely bestow the title of king upon my two senior brothers.

Lei Mengsha and Gu Jianmen felt very gratified as they looked at Xiao Ruofeng's firm and serious expression.

After all, whether or not to accept the throne was their own decision, but Xiao Ruofeng's attitude made them feel that even at the risk of having their entire family exterminated, following him was well worth it.

After a moment's thought, Xiao Ruofeng raised his head, looked solemnly at Gu Jianmen and Lei Mengsha, and asked in a serious tone:

"My two senior brothers, we have already assembled an army of 200,000 in the Southwest Region."

However, this force of 200,000 is far from enough to conquer Tianqi City.

They might not even be able to withstand the first round of attacks from my fourth brother.

Do you have any good ideas?

Lei Mengsha was an idiot to begin with, so he simply gave up and said:

"Don't come to me with any strategic matters. You two can discuss this. I'll just carry out your plans."

After hearing Lei Meng's words, Gu Jianmen shook his head helplessly, then pondered for a moment before looking up at Xiao Ruofeng and saying:

"Seventh Brother, actually, all we need to do is hold off the imperial court's first wave of attacks."

After all, Bei Que has always been searching for a way to restore its kingdom. We withstood the first wave of attacks, and I'm certain that Bei Que will take action when the time comes.

"At that time, the imperial court will be attacked from two sides and will certainly not dare to launch a large-scale attack on us. This will give us a lot of time to develop."

Xiao Ruofeng nodded in agreement.

"Third Senior Brother's analysis is correct. I would appreciate your assistance in training the 200,000 troops in the Southwest Region."

Lei Mengsha and Gu Jianmen exchanged a glance, and the former patted his chest and assured him:

"Don't worry, with the help of the two of us, this army of 200,000 will definitely become an elite force."

Gu Jianmen looked at Lei Mengsha with some concern and said, "Second Senior Brother, I'm not trying to criticize you, but although you have high martial arts skills, you are still lacking in military leadership."

Lei Mengsha was immediately displeased upon hearing this and retorted:

"Third brother, don't look down on me. I read a lot of military books when I was in Tianqi City, and I even received guidance from Mr. Xie."

Gu Jianmen rolled his eyes and said, "Come on, with your personality, you think you can calm down and study military books? I don't believe it."

Lei Meng said menacingly, "Hmph, believe it or not, you'll see how powerful I am in the end."

Seeing that the two were about to start arguing again, Xiao Ruofeng quickly intervened:

"Alright, alright, you two stop arguing. This mission in the Southwest is of great importance, so we must work together to complete it."

Chapter 102: Xiao Ruofeng is about to die, Ye Dingzhi enters the Outer Heavens

As the emperor's trusted eunuch, Zhu Qing personally went to Jiangnan Circuit and brought the emperor's edict.

The imperial edict ordered the garrison commander of Jiangnan Circuit to immediately send troops to attack Xiao Ruofeng, the Ninth Prince of Southwest Circuit.

The garrison commander accepted the decree without hesitation, for he had once been a subordinate of the second prince.

However, just as he received the order and was preparing to send troops, a shocking message arrived—the second prince had died!

This sudden turn of events left the defending general feeling extremely embarrassed, as he hadn't even had a chance to act yet.

Worse still, there are rumors that the Second Prince was forced to his death by the Ninth Prince, Xiao Ruofeng.

Upon hearing this news, the garrison commander was filled with anger and hatred, wishing he could kill Xiao Ruofeng immediately.

Unfortunately, it's all too late now. The Second Prince is no longer alive, and he can no longer seek revenge against the Ninth Prince.

However, when the garrison commander heard that the Ninth Prince had rebelled, he finally found an opportunity.

Zhu Qing smiled and said to him:

"General Li, the heavy responsibility of quelling the Ninth Prince's rebellion is now entrusted to you."

His Majesty said, "Life or death are not to be discussed."

This statement implies that the emperor has granted him absolute power, allowing him to freely decide how to deal with the Ninth Prince.

After hearing this, General Li's face turned serious, indicating that he understood.

He knew it was time for him to repay the Second Prince's kindness, and he also understood the importance of this mission.

Therefore, he made up his mind to do his best to complete the task.

Seeing that General Li understood the meaning behind his words, Zhu Qing nodded in satisfaction and smiled, saying:

"Alright, now that General Li understands my intentions, we can begin our operation."

The Ninth Prince's army, "897," has two experts at the Free and Unfettered Heaven Realm assisting him. This time, I have specially arranged four Free and Unfettered Heaven Realm experts for you. I hope you will not disappoint His Majesty's expectations.

Upon hearing this news, General Li's face lit up with joy, and he hurriedly bowed to Zhu Qing to express his gratitude.

"Thank you, Grand Supervisor! With these four experts from the Free and Unfettered Heaven Realm, I believe we will be able to quell the rebellion in the Southwest within a month."

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Zhu Qing lingered no longer, turned and walked out of the mansion, saying as he did so:

"I hope so."

After respectfully seeing Zhu Qing off, General Li immediately shouted loudly towards the door:

"Raise an army, march into the southwest, and quell the rebellion!"

Upon hearing the order, the lieutenant outside the door responded without hesitation:

"As you command, General!"

Subsequently, the army quickly assembled and prepared to embark on its journey.

In a mysterious bamboo forest in the Southern Finals, a figure is practicing swordsmanship at lightning speed.

This man's swordsmanship was as swift as lightning; every strike carried a sharp sword aura, leaving frost in its wake.

There is no other way to achieve such swordsmanship except through the Demon Style of the Immortal Demon Sword Technique.

This is an unparalleled sword technique, its power is said to be capable of destroying the heavens and the earth.

There are only three people in the world who can use the Demonic Style, two of whom are in the Southern Secret Realm: one is Yu Shengmo, and the other is Ye Dingzhi.

However, Yu Shengmo has now begun to comprehend the Immortal Style, so the identity of the person who is using the Demon Style is already obvious - it must be Ye Dingzhi!

Suddenly, Ye Dingzhi's figure appeared like a ghost by the river beside the bamboo forest, surrounded by black mist, as if he were a demon from hell.

His eyes gleamed with a cold light, his hands gripped the hilt of his sword tightly, and his whole being exuded a chilling aura.

Immediately afterward, Ye Dingzhi raised his longsword sharply and shouted:

"Like a demon, it can destroy immortals."

As he shouted, a piercing bird cry echoed through the sky.

Behind Ye Dingzhi, a black Vermilion Bird, a hundred feet in size, appeared out of thin air.

Its feathers are as black as ink, exuding an endless aura of darkness, as if they could devour all light.

The instant the black Vermilion Bird appeared, Ye Dingzhi shouted towards the riverbank again:

"cut."

As soon as the words were spoken, the hundred-foot-tall black Vermilion Bird instantly spread its enormous wings and rushed toward the riverbank with lightning speed.

What happened next left everyone speechless.
