Panic and chaos filled the entire Ximen Clan. Men, women, young and old were in complete chaos. The Demon Martial Clan naturally had many experts, but they knew how strong they were, and even more so, they knew how strong the Evil Sect and the Evil Emperor were. So they didn't even have the thought of resisting.
One minute later …
In the sky above the Ximen Clan, a heavy snowstorm suddenly descended. The heavy snowstorm drowned the entire Ximen Clan at an unbelievable speed. Then, the snow suddenly turned into ice, completely freezing the Ximen Clan. Then, the ice suddenly exploded … In just a few minutes, amidst a series of explosions that made people's hearts tremble, the Ximen Clan that had existed for a thousand years was blasted into pieces by the violent ice. The Ximen Clan no longer existed.
The Evil Emperor did what he said. No one thought that he was just scaring the Ximen Clan. But when such a huge Ximen Clan was completely destroyed in such a short period of time, the shock in everyone's hearts could not be any greater. The Evil Emperor's ruthlessness and strength, once again fiercely slashed in the depths of their hearts.
No one knew how many people of the XiMen Clan had died inside, and how many people had managed to escape. But one thing was for sure, even if everyone from the Ximen Clan escaped, as long as the Evil Sect existed, the name "Ximen Clan" would no longer exist. Because once this name appeared, it would definitely attract the Evil Emperor. He was as ruthless as a madman. Because of a small mistake, he could destroy an entire clan.
In a corner, a person silently watched the Ximen Clan being destroyed. He first showed a complicated expression, then with a mocking laugh, he quickly left.

"Sect Master, the Ximen Clan was destroyed by the Evil Emperor." Yan Tian Ao returned to Yan Duanhun and said in a low voice.
"I already know." Yan Duanhun came back to his senses from his deep thoughts, and answered. He stood up and walked to the window, saying calmly: "The Evil Emperor really came. I didn't think that he would accidentally cause such a disaster to the Ximen Clan. It can be considered their fate, they can't blame us."
"Sect Master, it seems like …" Yan Tian Ao walked up and said.
"Yes!" Yan Duan Hun nodded and said: "Looks like my worries were unnecessary, then …" A sharp light flashed through his eyes, that was a kind of light that contained a hidden urgency and excitement: "Return to the sect immediately, and obtain that treasure in the shortest amount of time possible. Since we were able to suspect the Demonic Emperor before, the Demonic Emperor is not a stupid person. Although he vented his anger on the Ximen Clan, he definitely knows that they are not deliberately mystifying things. Rather, it is truly a theft. The first person to suspect would be us. "
Yan Tian Ao nodded. The two of them didn't stay any longer and headed back to the Northern Emperor Sect. For this trip, in order to perfectly conceal their tracks and not leave behind any traces, only the two of them came here. From the beginning to the end, no one had discovered that they had appeared in Tenryū Province.
Of course, that was only what they thought.

In an area not far from the destroyed Ximen Clan, there was a secret underground room.
"Well done." The Demonic Emperor clasped his hands behind his back and faced the wall. Behind him, a young man knelt respectfully. His head was lowered and his face couldn't be seen clearly, but his slightly heavy breathing revealed his nervousness and uneasiness.
"Thank you for the praise, Master." The man quickly responded.
"That piece of Western Sea Blue Jade, my sister likes it very much. You also did well on this matter." The Demonic Emperor turned his head slightly.
The man replied with some excitement: "To be able to satisfy Master is the greatest reward for me … If I knew that Ye … Master's sister would like it, I should have given it to Master earlier."
"You can leave. Remember to hide your tracks. "The Demonic Emperor waved his hand behind him.
"Yes." The man immediately stood up, not daring to disobey his words in the slightest. When he raised his head, that face, was surprisingly the Ximen Clan's Young Master … Ximen Qing! Although he had only been with the Demonic Emperor for such a short period of time, his entire body was already soaked in cold sweat. In front of him, he was constantly enduring a terrifying pressure, and it was this pressure that caused him to be unable to arouse the slightest desire to resist.
"You already know my identity, so you should know the consequences of revealing my identity." The Demonic Emperor suddenly said coldly.
Ximen Qing, who had just stood up, suddenly knelt back down and said with extreme fear: "I swear to the heavens, if one day I do something wrong to Master, I will suffer the pain of thousands of ants gnawing at my heart. Everyone in the Ximen Clan will die a horrible death, the men will be slaves, and the women will be prostitutes …"
Ximen Qing's entire body trembled as he used the most vicious oath he could think of to express his loyalty. He already knew how powerful the Evil Sect was. And if the Demonic Emperor wanted to kill him, or even the entire Ximen Clan, it would be no different from stepping on an ant.
"Alright, this Emperor naturally won't suspect you. You can leave. "
"Yes, Master." Ximen Qing stood up and carefully walked down, afraid that he would make too much noise and alarm the Demonic Emperor.
"One year later, the Ximen Clan will rise again. Three years later, the Ximen Clan will become the strongest Magic Martial Clan in the entire continent. Wherever the Ximen Clan goes, it will be awe-inspiring."
Just as Ximen Qing was about to leave the room, the Demonic Emperor's voice slowly entered his ears. Ximen Qing was overjoyed and quickly retreated with trembling excitement. As he was leaving, he brushed past a fat man. Their gazes met, and then immediately moved away.
"What's the matter?" The fat middle-aged man walked in. The Demonic Emperor didn't turn around and asked in a low voice.
"Master, Yan Duan Hun and Yan Tian Ao are no longer in the city. It's very likely that they couldn't wait to return to the Northern Emperor Sect." The middle-aged man replied respectfully.
After a short silence, the Demonic Emperor responded: "If there's nothing else, you can leave first."
"Yes, Master!" The middle-aged man lowered his head and carefully retreated. Only when he walked out of the room did he dare to raise his head … It was an ordinary square face, with a thick nose and two very small eyes. However, a sharp light flashed in the eyes from time to time … Too many people recognized this face, because it belonged to the richest man in the Tianchen Continent — — Qian Gun Gun!
"The fish has taken the bait." The Demonic Emperor faced the wall with a mysterious smile on his face.
"As expected, it's a wonderful and flawless show. What great power … Demonic Emperor, I've done everything you asked me to do. Don't forget what you said."
In the secret chamber, a slightly aged voice came out of nowhere. The Demonic Emperor wasn't surprised and said calmly: "With your Illusion God ability, who in the world doesn't fear you? How would this emperor dare to break your promise? It won't be too long, this emperor will naturally fulfill your wish. "
"Hehehehe, is there anyone in the world that you, the Demonic Emperor, don't dare to provoke? This old man is leaving … "
The light sound of clothes fluttering in the wind was inaudible. The Demonic Emperor heard the sound and knew that he had gone far away. The smile on the corner of his mouth became even more mysterious. He slowly said the second half of the sentence that he didn't finish saying: "However, the situation may be a little different from what you think."

Late autumn was approaching, and the air already carried an obvious chill.
Xilu City.
There were traces of battle left on the ground, and the air was filled with the smell of blood that hadn't completely dissipated. When the mighty army arrived at the east gate of Xilu City, the gate opened and a man stumbled out. He fell in front of Ye Nu's horse and cried loudly.
"General Ye … General, you've finally come … I'm useless, Gelu Mountain, Sealed Cloud Valley, and Sealed Cloud Road have all been lost!"
This was a middle-aged man who was about the same age as Ye Wei. His clothes were messy, and there were bloody cuts all over his armor. His face showed pain and fatigue, and it was obvious that he hadn't rested for a long time. Ye Nu and Ye Wei dismounted at the same time to help him up. Ye Nu sighed: "The Great Gale Army is really as fast as lightning. We're still too late."
"It's not too late!" Ye Wei frowned: "Xilu City did not fall, this is already a very good result." He patted the man on the shoulder and comforted: "Brother Feng, don't worry. It's already not easy for you to hold on until now with the Xilu army."
This person's name was Feng Yan, and he was Ye Nu's favorite disciple and subordinate. Back then, he had fought side by side with Ye Wei under Ye Nu's command, and he was an out-and-out iron-blooded man. After the war subsided, he was stationed at the westernmost city of Tenryū Province, Xilu City. To be able to force him to cry, it showed how hard it had been for him to hold on for the past few days. The ghastly cracks on his armour and the blood stains on his body showed that he had been personally on the battlefield all this time. In these few days, who knows how many times he had narrowly escaped death.
Feng Yan pressed down on his chest, calming his emotions. He took a deep breath and said solemnly: "Old General Ye, the enemy's morale is high, every one of them is like a madman. They only used two days to take down the Golu Mountains, and our army was unable to stop them. The enemy is strong, and we are weak. They will collapse without even fighting … "
It was normal for the Great Gale Army to be high in morale. They had endured the torment of the sandstorms all year round, and longed for the peace and tranquility of Tenryū Province with envy and jealousy. They were fighting for themselves, and not for the country. How could they not bring out all their morale? They should have raised their army three years ago, but it had been delayed until now. The spirit that they had accumulated for three years was finally released, and it was like an unstoppable flood.
"What General Feng said is right. The enemy's morale is too high in the early stages of the war, and it is not advisable to engage them immediately. For the next few days, we will temporarily defend Xilu City, and avoid them as much as we can. On one hand, we need to reorganize, and on the other, as time passes, their morale will eventually drop. When the time comes, we will look for an opportunity to change from defense to offense, and win by surprise. "Zhuge Xiaoyu stepped forward and said.
In the past three years, Feng Yan, who was stationed in Xilu City, had joined forces with Ye Wei many times to fight against the enemy. He was already familiar with Zhuge Xiaoyu, and the more time he spent with her, the more he admired her. He hurriedly said: "General Ye, Xilu City can still be defended for the time being. The Great Gale Army has split into two groups the day before yesterday, and one group is heading straight for Yunhua City in the southwest. The city guards have suffered consecutive defeats, and their morale is unstable. The army's heart is shaken, and they are in imminent danger. We need to quickly go and support them! "
"I'll go!"
Before Ye Nu could reply, Zhuge Xiaoyu stepped forward again, and frowned. Her valiant and heroic figure made people secretly praise her.
Although Zhuge Xiaoyu was a woman, Ye Wei had always told Ye Nu everything about her, and this old man, who had been on the battlefield for half his life, was amazed again and again. Seeing that she had volunteered so neatly, and did not know what it meant to be worried, he immediately laughed out loud, and then his face suddenly darkened, and he said solemnly: "Alright! I will temporarily appoint you as the Great General of Pingyun, and you will quickly lead fifty thousand soldiers to Yunhua City! Move out immediately, and do not delay! "
On the battlefield, Ye Nu was always so swift and decisive. There were no fathers and sons on the battlefield, and there was no familial love. He would not hesitate to give a decisive order just because she was a woman, and he would also not ask for Zhuge Wuyi's opinion first.
"Yes!" Zhuge Xiaoyu bowed down, and her expression was calm as usual.
"Little girl, you don't have to pretend anymore. On the battlefield, there is no distinction between men and women. Let everyone in the world see that the women of Tenryū Province can not only be empresses, but they can also conquer the world, and they are not inferior to men! "Ye Nu nodded his head and said.
Zhuge Xiaoyu took off her heavy helmet, and her tightly coiled hair flowed down like waves, draping over her back. Zhuge Xiaoyu gave a standard military salute: "Yes, General Ye!"
"Go!"
Zhuge Xiaoyu stood up, and turned around to get on her horse. Just as she was about to order her troops to leave, Ye Nu's voice rang out from behind her once again. "Once we've defeated Da Feng, I'll personally make the decision to let Chen 'er marry you. If he's unwilling, as his grandfather, I won't let him marry me, hehehehe …"
The tense atmosphere was dissolved by Ye Nu's gentle laughter. Zhuge Xiaoyu's eyes were blurred, and she finally revealed her true colors as a girl. She responded in a low voice, and then she galloped away on her horse.
