"The palace guards lost a total of 469 people, not including Zhan … Zhan Shen and the three elders of Feng Shen. The five thousand cavalrymen stationed in the west were completely wiped out, not a single survivor. The eastern and western city guards lost a total of eight thousand three hundred and twenty-seven people … That's a total of thirteen thousand seven hundred and ninety-six people. "After an officer reported the number, he couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat on his forehead. This was only the number of deaths, and didn't include those who were seriously injured or burned.
Thirteen thousand seven hundred and ninety-six people … This number caused the quiet hall to become even quieter than before. Such a number of casualties could be said to be extremely heavy on the battlefield … But all this was caused by one person … one person! Moreover, it was after killing the three elders of Feng Shen and the War God, and was seriously injured. Otherwise, it would be far more than this number, and Ye Wuchen would definitely be able to leave safely.
But even if this number was quadrupled, it couldn't compare to the death of a War God. Until now, they were still wondering if he was really dead … or if everything was just a ridiculous and terrifying dream.
They would rather believe that it was just a dream.
In the hall, Feng Lie, Feng Ling, and more than ten important officials of the court were seated. Today's chaos in the palace and the large-scale mobilization of troops made it impossible to hide this matter.
Feng Lie seemed to have calmed down at this time. He glanced at the frightened officials below and asked, "Regarding this matter, do you have anything else to say?"
"Your Majesty, forgive this old official for speaking bluntly, but Your Majesty's handling of this matter is too inappropriate. First, rumor has it that this Ye Wuchen wore the Sword God's ring on his finger and was the only successor of the Sword God. Now that he was forced to death by our Great Wind Army, how could his master be willing to accept this? If the Sword God appears and takes the initiative to attack … Without the War God, we can't defend ourselves. Second, we mobilized tens of thousands of troops just for one person in Tenryū Province, and lost more than ten thousand soldiers to him alone. If this matter were to spread … it would really hurt our country's reputation and be criticized by others. Third … "
"Sir Wen, you're wrong!" The one who spoke was the Great General of the East, Yue Handong. He interrupted him and said, "Is Sir Wen afraid? Do you think that we shouldn't muster such a large force to kill this person? Then do you know that Ye Wuchen barged into the palace first, injured His Highness the Crown Prince without any explanation, kidnapped the Emperor, and finally killed the Eldest Princess in front of the Emperor, the Crown Prince, and the God of War … Every one of his crimes is enough for him to be executed by a thousand cuts. What reason do we have not to kill him? "
Lord Wen: "This … but …"
"No buts. Previously, because of the scruples of the Sword Immortal, the Emperor and the Crown Prince repeatedly tolerated him and promised to let him go, but he was still like this. He … did not take the entire Great Wind Country seriously at all. If we don't kill him, the Great Wind Country will really lose face. At that time, the War God personally took action, so there was nothing to worry about. However, who would have thought that … Senior War God would actually die in his hands, and the three elders of the Wind God would also die in his hands … If such a person were to leave, would there still be a day for us, the subjects of Great Wind, to sleep peacefully? What's wrong with mobilizing thousands of troops and horses to take his life at all costs? "
Lord Wen: "… Sigh, what General Yue said is very true. I was too afraid of the Sword Immortal. If it wasn't for the Sword Immortal, how could our country be forced to retreat. "
"The Sword Immortal is a person who is not unreasonable. Everything was Ye Wuchen's fault, and the Sword Immortal has no reason to seek revenge. I think, he probably won't take action. "
"I hope so."
Only Feng Lie and Feng Ling knew that Feng Ru's death was not without reason. Her death, the death of the War God … Everything was because she had brought back that white-haired little girl and slapped her in the face. She was like a bomb, causing everything to explode when they were unprepared.
"Your Majesty, the condition of our temporary ceasefire is to betroth the daughter of the Yeh family to His Highness the Crown Prince. Now … Should we mobilize our troops again and directly attack Sky Dragon?" A general said.
Before Feng Lie could speak, Feng Ling waved his hand and said: "We can't for now. After this disaster, the heavy casualties are still acceptable. However, Senior Feng and the three elders of the Wind God Sect have passed away. Those who hate my father will definitely swarm here soon. My father's safety is in danger. Therefore, we must first solve the problem of my father's safety. "
Feng Lie heard this and nodded. Since ancient times, the emperors of the strongest countries were the ones who suffered the most assassinations. For example, when the war in Tenryū Province started, the first thing Sky Dragon thought of was to spare no effort to assassinate the emperor of Dafeng Country. It was impossible to find another War God in Dafeng Country. Even if there was one, he would definitely not be like Feng Zhaoyang, who was willing to sacrifice his life to protect the Feng family. Not to mention the War God, even experts like the three elders of the Wind God Sect were the same.
"Therefore, let's make peace through marriage and temporarily stabilize each other's position." Feng Ling said with a slightly unnatural expression.
"Make peace through marriage? The Yeh family will soon find out about today's matter and will hate our country even more. Why would they agree to marry their daughter over? I haven't seen the daughter of the Yeh family. She must have been escorted back. "Yue Handong frowned. He could see that the main reason Feng Ling said this was because his infatuation with Ye Shuiyao had not changed.
"Yes, the Yeh family will definitely not agree. However, the Yeh family's refusal doesn't mean that the emperor of Tenryū Province, Long Yin, will not agree. The one who is most eager to make peace through marriage is not us, but Long Yin. It doesn't matter if the Yeh family does not agree. Long Yin will help us find a way to make them agree. Also … "He sighed." Feng Ling is ashamed. This matter was only made possible by Senior Feng. Feng Ling does not want to give up just like that. This is also a form of respect for him. "
Everyone was silent.
The death of the War God, the chaos in the palace, and the vitality of the entire Feng family was greatly damaged. Now was indeed not the time to start a war.

The moon was in the middle of the sky. Oculum finally woke up.
Everything was not a dream. Her body was sore and weak. She still could not feel his breath, not even a trace.
She wiped away the dust on her face. Tears once again flowed down her face. Beside her, there was a pile of chopped bodies. When she turned her gaze, her eyes were immediately filled with boundless resentment. She reached out her hand and a ball of black light rushed out. It blew them far away and destroyed them.
She turned her head again and looked to the west. That was the place where his breath disappeared. She was confused. She did not know where she should go without him. She did not have someone to rely on and a home to return to.
Should she kill all the people in the vicinity … in this city to avenge him?
She took a step forward. The last voice that Ye Wuchen passed to her also rang in her ears.
Sister …
He wants me to send her home.
She found her goal. Her eyes also regained color. She soared into the sky and followed the breath. She flew in the direction of Ye Shuiyao.
Ye Shuiyao was still sitting there quietly. Apart from fear, she could not feel anything else. Ye Wuchen had been gone for a very, very long time, but he still had not returned. She had never been so afraid before. She forced herself not to think about the possibility that something had happened to him. However, her heart was beating faster and faster.
A black figure flew over from the sky. She did not notice it in her fear. It was only when Oculum descended from the sky and stood in front of her that she raised her head and looked at this outrageously beautiful young woman.
"Oculum …" She called out. Then, she suddenly stood up and grabbed him. She asked anxiously, "Little Chen … Where's Little Chen?!"
Oculum's tears gave her the answer. She was heartbroken. Her mind went blank. She sat on the ground. It was as if her soul had left her body in an instant. She did not know where it had gone.
Oculum carried her body and flew to the east. She would always listen to him. He did not like her killing people. Therefore, she would not kill people casually. In the future, she would stay in the Yeh family to protect his family. She would only kill those who wanted to harm his family, no matter who they were. At the same time …
She would wait for him to come back.
Even if she had to wait for eternity.
…
Tianchen Continent, an unknown corner.
Yan Zhimeng sat by the window. She looked at the stars that were beginning to appear. Her mind had drifted somewhere. She was fiddling with a jade-green short flute in her hand.
Suddenly, there was a violent shock in her head, causing her to subconsciously cover her head. That feeling immediately disappeared. At the same time, she suddenly realized that the soul contract that was engraved in the depths of her consciousness had disappeared.
She stood up and looked out of the window in a daze. She tried to feel again and again. She found that the soul mark had indeed disappeared completely. In her Charming Sound Clan, once she was attached to a man, she would become his "puppet" forever. There was no way to get rid of it … Was it all fake?
Why did it suddenly disappear … Did he use some strange method?
If it was him, what method did he use? Why did he touch her? Was it to free herself? Or … to cut off the soul connection between them?
For a moment, her mind was in a mess. She stood there in a daze.
…
In the north of Tenryū Province, in a forgotten corner.
The night here came much earlier than in other places. The old man vaguely felt that something big was about to happen. He stared at the sky the whole day. No one knew what he was searching for.
Not far from him, Chu Jingtian and Cold Cliffs were practicing their swordsmanship. For Chu Jingtian, it was practice. For Cold Cliffs, it was killing. He held a blade without a handle in his hand, and the blade was full of big and small nicks. His eyes were cold, and the movements of his hand were ruthless. The narrow blade brought with it gusts of cold wind, as if the other party was his irreconcilable enemy.
Chu Jingtian resisted with ease. However, his face was solemn. Although he had defeated Cold Cliffs many times, he had more wounds than Cold Cliffs. He even had two cuts on his face. Cold Cliffs was much weaker than him. However, he was like a madman who didn't care about his life. No matter when it was, he would fight with his blade. With his murderous aura and aura, he could fight evenly with Chu Jingtian every time. Sometimes, when he went crazy, he scared Chu Jingtian so much that he wanted to run away.
But his grandfather, his biological grandfather, turned a blind eye to him every time. He didn't even look at the bloody wounds that appeared on his body every day. He just threw him a few medicinal herbs and ordered him to continue practicing with this madman.
He had been practicing with Cold Cliffs for more than a month. His strength had improved by leaps and bounds. However, when he saw Cold Cliffs, his heart still twitched.
