The messenger and the high priest stared with bloodshot eyes at the three human heads on the ground.

Don't you recognize me?

How could I not recognize you?

Their leader!

The two elders!

These are the most respected people in their tribe!

The leaders and elders led them to find supplies, silver, and all sorts of useful slaves!

Now, the three people they once regarded as gods are nothing but their heads lying on the cold ground in front of them.

Even though only their heads remain, you can tell from their expressions that they must have experienced something extremely terrifying before they died.

And... he died with his eyes wide open in disbelief!

"Qi Zhiyu!" The messenger leaped up and pounced on Qi Zhiyu.

The guard beside him wasn't dead; he immediately thrust his sword at him.

Everyone in the Siyun tribe is skilled in martial arts; each one possesses exceptional martial arts abilities.

The messenger quickly dodged, slippery as an eel, and headed straight for Qi Zhiyu.

The other guards immediately coordinated and attacked simultaneously.

However, some people are even faster than them.

The messenger rushed over quickly and returned even faster.

He was sent flying and thrown back.

The crowd glanced at the messenger, who was lying on the ground, wincing in pain and unable to get up, before turning their stiff necks to look at Qi Zhiyu.

Qi Zhiyu flicked the bundle in her hand and scoffed disdainfully, "Useless!"

The envoy glared angrily at Qi Zhiyu.

"Oh, still not convinced?" Qi Zhiyu sneered.

"I wiped out your entire tribe. How can you still think you can defeat me?"

Qi Zhiyu shook her head incredulously, unable to understand.

I don't understand what's wrong with the envoy from the Siyun tribe. What is he thinking about all day?

The envoy's expression changed drastically, and he disregarded his own excruciating pain: "Impossible!"

"Our tribe has tens of thousands of members... how could you possibly kill them all by yourself?"

Qi Zhiyu smiled slightly: "Then you don't need to worry about it."

"Even if we can't completely eradicate them, we'll have to bear the consequences ourselves in the end."

The messenger's heart clenched into a tight knot with tension.

He remained certain that he would not die because Emperor Kangwu did not want a true fight to the death.

But what if these guys don't care about these things?

What gives him the confidence to do so?

The fear of death instantly overwhelmed him, causing him to panic completely.

"Your Majesty, are you just going to let Princess Chen'an act so recklessly?" The messenger turned to Emperor Kangwu.

That was his last straw.

The Duke of Wei also spoke up: "Your Majesty, if we rashly start a war with the Siyun tribe without thorough preparation, it will ultimately be the common people who suffer!"

He didn't believe that Qi Zhiyu had really killed everyone in the Siyun tribe.

Those people in the mountains are the most astute.

At the slightest sign of trouble, they would have already fled along the network of mountain paths.

They're not stupid enough to stay put and wait to be killed.

Emperor Kangwu looked at Qi Zhiyu: "Chen'an, what do you say?"

Qi Zhiyu said lazily, "It's alright. In four or five days, they will bring over the heads of important figures from the Siyun tribe."

"At that time, we can have the envoy from the Siyun tribe identify him with the high shaman."

"I think I haven't missed anything," Qi Zhiyu said with a slight smile.

"I've investigated everything thoroughly."

As Qi Zhiyu spoke, she took out a booklet: "The people of the Siyun tribe are all listed here."

"I verified their identities according to the roster before I went to kill them."

The eunuch immediately came over, took the booklet, and presented it to Emperor Kangwu.

Everyone's eyes followed the booklet, and a chill ran down their spines for no apparent reason.

Is this a roster?

Why does it feel like the King of Hell is calling in roll call?

Emperor Kangwu took the booklet and began to read it.

He was genuinely surprised.

Because each person's name has a bloody handprint on it.

Emperor Kangwu quickly flipped through the booklet and handed it to the eunuch beside him, so that all the civil and military officials could also take a look.

The ministers circulated the document, and the expressions on their faces were truly indescribable.

Their minds were buzzing, and they couldn't think straight at all.

Isn't Princess Chen'an a bit too... fierce?

Not only did they kill them, but they also made them put their fingerprints on their documents?

After reading it, the Duke of Wei was completely distraught.

How... how is this possible?

Is this something a normal person could do?

"Lock them up in prison and execute them in six days!" Emperor Kangwu said in one sentence, and all the ministers understood.

His Majesty has believed Princess Chen'an's words.

It will take four or five days to transport the heads of the Siyun tribe.

On the sixth day, His Majesty killed the messenger and the great shaman.

Your Majesty is certain that Princess Chen'an was not lying, and that the Siyun tribe has been wiped out.

"Your Majesty, you cannot treat us like this!" the messenger cried.

Unfortunately, nobody paid them any attention.

The guards rushed forward and took all the people from the Siyun tribe away.

"Chen'an, you've worked hard." Emperor Kangwu really couldn't stop liking his granddaughter now.

This is how the descendants of the Qi family should be!

"Chen'an, you have rendered great service. What do you desire?" Emperor Kangwu asked.

Duke Wei's face darkened, and he hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, it is still uncertain whether the Siyun tribe has truly been wiped out."

Emperor Kangwu's face darkened: "Are you implying that I'm so senile that I can't distinguish truth from falsehood?"

The Duke of Wei was so frightened that he hurriedly knelt down and said, "I had no such intention."

"Grandfather, it's normal for the Weiguo Guild to think that way," Qi Zhiyu said with a smile.

Duke Wei did not believe that Qi Zhiyu would be so kind as to speak up for him.

Sure enough, Qi Zhiyu's next words infuriated him: "After all, he can't do it himself."

"However, Duke of Wei, you are being too narrow-minded. You can't do it yourself, yet you can't stand to see others do it."

"With someone like you in such a high position, how many capable newcomers must you be suppressing?"

The Duke of Wei was trembling with rage. He hurriedly kowtowed, "Your Majesty, I have never done such a thing!"

Is this Qi Zhiyu even human?

How do they always manage to find opportunities to attack others?

Emperor Kangwu ignored the Duke of Wei and instead asked Qi Zhiyu, "Chen'an, what do you want?"

"Actually, it's all for the people. Whether there are rewards or not is not important." Qi Zhiyu waved his hand.

Emperor Kangwu laughed heartily: "You, you child... you truly care about the people."

"Very well, I will remember this great achievement."

"Tell me what you want after you've decided."

However, even though Qi Zhiyu saved the King of Wu and destroyed the Siyun tribe, Emperor Kangwu still generously rewarded Qi Zhiyu with a large amount of gold, silver, jewels, silks, and satins.

Among them are many rare and unique pieces.

Of course, these were just bonuses. Emperor Kangwu noted down the real rewards and would tell Qi Zhiyu what he wanted later.

Duke Wei was cursing Qi Zhiyu to death in his heart.

What a cunning and ruthless scoundrel!

This is a strategic retreat; the more she refuses, the more His Majesty will give!

Even so, her greedy nature will still be revealed!

"The princess has truly rendered a great service!" Duke Wei said sarcastically.

"If we're talking about meritorious service, saving the King of Wu, Duke of Wei, your contribution is greater. Hey!" Qi Zhiyu suddenly seemed to remember something and slapped his forehead.

"If we had transferred the Gu worms to the King of Wu just now, and knocked the condemned prisoner unconscious, he wouldn't have resisted."

"I forgot, I forgot..."

"Fortunately, the Duke of Wei was a man of great principle and was willing to sacrifice himself."

Qi Zhiyu smiled at the Duke of Wei: "The Duke of Wei is truly righteous!"
