Deng Feng said in a deep voice, "Have you forgotten? I was responsible for guarding you at the border. Isn’t it reasonable for me to gather detailed information about the enemy’s main general? I’ve said everything that needs to be said. Now, it’s up to you to decide whether to keep a life for future revenge or to go to your death."
Meng Quji closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and when he lifted his gaze again, his expression had become resolute. "Fine, as long as you can do as you say, I am willing to risk my life for you, but there’s another issue—I have offended both sides now."
"Chen Shuai..."
"Even if it were his master, he wouldn’t be able to save me, right?"
"You should hide for now."
Deng Feng instructed, "A Martial Saint should be able to protect his own life, right? As for the follow-up matters, after I report to Chen Shuai, he will handle them."
During the discussion,
a figure was rapidly approaching from a distance.
Jiang Yuanbo!

"It’s not safe to stay here long. You better find a way to survive on your own for now."
"Alright then."
His anger dissipated, and his craziness receded, Meng Quji used every trick in his book to make a swift escape —this was the first time he had acted so recklessly in his life.
...
The people of Crown Prince’s lineage began to flee.
After the Black Armor Army joined the battle, they had no power left to resist.
Ling Xuzi died on the spot.

Yun Xiaozi, severely injured, fled with Cao Fan and a few attendants.
"Emperor!"
Chen Sansi had escorted the Old Emperor to Yangxin Palace and summoned a thousand soldiers before returning the Dragon Abyss Sword with both hands: "You weren’t injured, were you?"
"Just a minor injury, it’s not serious."
Emperor Longqing glanced at the blood oozing out of Chen Sansi’s shoulder: "But you seem to be seriously injured."
"I have a tough life; it’s nothing serious!"
Chen Sansi had calculated it well; these were merely external injuries. Once he applied medicine, he would recover quickly, and even if he needed to fight again, it wouldn’t affect him much since his meridians and bones were not damaged.
The doors of the grand hall were pushed open.
Jiang Yuanbo hurried in: "Emperor, I am late in coming to protect you!"
Commander Jiang arrived just in time."
Chen Sansi said, "You’re indeed the most reliable person to ensure the Emperor’s safety. I will go outside and hunt down the traitors!"
"Understood."
Jiang Yuanbo nodded, "Mr. Chen, you have worked hard."
...
"Father!"
"Your Highness, escape quickly!"
"..."
In the woods, Cao Fan took a few steps, each time looking back at the fire reaching to the sky from the Purple Star Palace: "Where is my father?"
"Princely Heir, you are being foolish!"
Yun Xiaozi said, "As long as the Crown Prince is alive, the Emperor won’t easily kill his own son; at most, he will be placed under house arrest. But the Princely Heir is still young. Are you planning to spend your whole life in the Ancestral Affairs Office?"
"Yes, Princely Heir."
Eunuch Feng said with tears, "The Crown Prince had already instructed before the uprising that if anything went wrong, you should go to the Incense Fire Divine Sect. There’s a High Priest there who can ensure your safety for life."
"It’s Chen Sansi again, always him!"
Cao Fan recalled the last scene, his heart filled with immense pain.
There was clearly one last chance to fight back!
Yet at that moment, the Black Armor Army intervened, extinguishing their last hope.
"If the Princely Heir wants to seek revenge, he should come back with us to the Divine Sect. If you succeed in your cultivation in the future, it won’t be too late to come back and kill that mortal man!"
Yun Xiaozi persuaded.
At the exit of the woods they were approaching, a dark figure appeared unexpectedly.
"Who goes there?"
Eunuch Feng rebuked.
"It’s me!"
A familiar, ugly face appeared.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief instantly.
"Zhang Lai Zi!"
Yun Xiaozi initially wanted to curse, but in the end, he dared not, "You, why did you abandon us earlier?"
"Hmph!"
"With the Dragon Abyss Sword lying there, I had known something was amiss!"
Chen Sansi declared, "Where were you planning to go?"
"Back to the Divine Sect!"
Yun Xiaozi said, "Hero Zhang, would you like to come along? You also practice the Incense Fire Divine Dao, and now that the Sect has suffered heavy losses, it wouldn’t hurt for you to become a Vice Sect Hierarch!"
"Returning with you..."
Chen Sansi pondered, "What benefits could I possibly gain?"
"There are plenty of benefits!"
Yun Xiaozi said, "Let’s talk as we walk, we are running out of time!"
"Wait!"
Cao Fan interrupted, "Hero Zhang, before we leave, could you... fulfill the promise you made to me first?"
"Oh? What are you referring to?"
"Chen Sansi!"
Cao Fan said through gritted teeth, "He and I share an irreconcilable enmity! Hero Zhang, if you agree to kill him, the Grand Ancestor Relics... all of them will belong to you alone! Slaying him by severing his Meridian Passage should be effortless for you, right?"
"You’re right, I’ll first escort you to the foot of the mountain!"
Chen Sansi spoke, quietly moving everybody in front of him, stepped out a few paces, and then suddenly drew his sword, first killing two servants, then using his remaining Sword Qi Skill, he also killed both Yun Xiaozi and another.
In the blink of an eye.
Only Cao Fan was left.
"Hero Zhang, why, why would you do this?!"
Cao Fan was terribly shocked and angered, "All the Grand Ancestor Relics were offered to you, what more do you want?! Even Yun Xiaozi and the others, they even wanted to invite you to be the Vice Sect Hierarch!"
"Initially, you had personally agreed to bring me Chen Sansi’s head!"
"How could one be so untrustworthy and disloyal!"
"Boy."
"Lift your head and look carefully, who do you think I am?"
Just then, Zhang Lai Zi’s voice suddenly became very familiar.
He reached up and wiped his face, revealing another visage.
"You..."
Cao Fan showed a ghost-like expression, "How, how could it be you! Zhang Lai Zi, it has always, always been you? You deceived everyone?!"
One by one.
Recalling now.
This great chaos.
The biggest winner is neither the Emperor nor the Yan Party.
It is likely the current Chen Sansi!
"Click!"
A sword slashed down.
Cao Fan’s head fell to the ground.
Chen Sansi began searching their bodies, and at last, he successfully found a sheepskin scroll.
