Pang Guan angrily said, "You speak so righteously, but who do you think you are? You scoundrel, you will die a horrible death! "
Miao Yi said, "Now I have won, and you have lost. You have lost your power, yet you disregard the lives of your family and subordinates for the sake of your pride! You have to understand one thing. Right now, you are the one begging me, not the other way around. If it weren't for Xiaoxiao's sake, if it weren't for the fact that we are in-laws, do you think I would waste my breath on you? "
"Haha!" Pang Guan threw his head back and laughed. He pointed at Miao Yi and rebuked, "What a joke. You clearly wanted my subordinates to help you settle down in the southern army's territory. How hypocritical. I must have been blind to have married my daughter to a hypocrite like you! "
Miao Yi nodded. "Well said! Now listen carefully. If your subordinates surrender to me, I will solemnly promise to keep them in their current positions. I will also guarantee the safety of the entire Pang Clan, and ensure that everyone in the Pang Clan does not have to worry about food and clothing. If they do not surrender, then I will obey the will of the heavens and treat them as traitors, to be killed without mercy! I will give you one minute to consider! "
Then, he suddenly shouted, "Generals, heed my command. If the rebel army does not surrender in one minute, we will kill them all!"
"Yes!" The generals responded.
"No, I beg you, please don't!" Pang Xiaoxiao pulled Miao Yi's arm and pleaded to the screen when she heard that he was going to kill them all.
Miao Yi stared at her. "If you marry a chicken, follow the chicken. If you marry a dog, follow the dog. Once you marry into my family, you are now one of us. Xiaoxiao, some things have always been difficult. I have no choice, and neither do you. Otherwise, we wouldn't have come this far. You only need to remember one thing. You are my woman now! " As he finished, he forcefully pulled Pang Xiaoxiao away, ignoring her struggles and begging. Together, they disappeared into the army's guards and retreated.
Many of the women on the Pang Family's side were already sobbing. No one had expected that they would suddenly face such a life and death crisis. Many people were staring at Pang Guan, knowing that the life and death of their entire family depended on a single thought from him.
Pang Guan, who was glaring furiously at Miao Yi's back, abruptly turned his head around. His wives and concubines were all there, and even his children were there.
When he looked around at his subordinates, he realized that his men were already silent. Many of them had their heads lowered or were silent. They had lost their will to fight. He couldn't help but feel his heartstrings tremble. He secretly cursed Thief Niu for being so treacherous. Just by saying that he would protect the Pang family and his subordinates, he had cut off his path of retreat.
He didn't know how many people would listen to him if he gave the order to fight recklessly.
Meanwhile, Miao Yi, who had returned to the center of the army, seemed to be cold-blooded and heartless as he stared coldly at them. As for Pang Xiaoxiao, he had already subdued her and put her away.
There was no need for Pang Xiaoxiao to do anything. If Hao Defang had not committed suicide to protect her subordinates, he would have needed to do something to Pang Xiaoxiao. Now that there was Hao Defang, Pang Guan had no choice but to surrender. Otherwise, he would appear selfish compared to Hao Defang. How could he make his subordinates submit?
"Master, let's forget it!" Cha Ruyan suddenly shouted.
Following this shout, faint sobs rose and fell from the Pang family's womenfolk. It was like a knife stabbing into Pang Guan's heart.
Hao Defang didn't want his wives and concubines to be humiliated. How could he allow that to happen? Once he gave the order to fight to the death, he would probably have to give the order to kill his wives and concubines first. Otherwise, if they fell into the enemy's hands, some of them would inevitably drag out an ignoble existence, causing him to lose all face.
Most importantly, this was a premeditated trap by Niu Youde. Right now, the troops in front of him couldn't stop the Netherworld army's attack at all. They couldn't hold out until reinforcements arrived. Otherwise, he could still fight to the death.
Pang Zizhang and Pang Zilu lowered their heads in silence. They both understood the current situation. If they continued to resist, only death would await them when facing the Netherworld army.
In the end, it was Chen Huaijiu who sighed softly. "Master, the soldiers are tired. We have no more strength to fight. Surrender!"
He knew very well that it wasn't that the Master didn't understand, but that he couldn't swallow his pride and needed someone to give him a way out.
The final result was also within Miao Yi's expectations. Pang Guan had no choice but to surrender. He also ordered his subordinates far away to surrender to the Netherworld army!
The Netherworld army quickly took over the remaining troops of the Pang faction and Hao faction. There were subordinates in charge of this matter. As for the entire Pang family, they were naturally captured and escorted back to the Marshal's Residence. They were all locked up in the inner residence and heavily guarded.
The tragic battle in Yin Gui Domain ended just like that. A group of troops began to clean up the battlefield.
This scene left the guests and their attendants watching the battle from afar dumbfounded. They didn't expect this to be the result after all this trouble.
To Pang Xiaoxiao, it didn't matter who she served or who won or lost. The most important thing was to protect her family. She cried tears of joy. With Miao Yi's permission, she lifted her skirt and ran into the inner residence of the Pang family. She rushed into her family and hugged her mother, crying bitterly.
Glory and wealth vanished like smoke in thin air. Only then could one see the authenticity of familial love.
Standing under the eaves, Pang Guan looked up at the sky and closed his eyes. He held onto a pillar with one hand as two streams of tears rolled down his cheeks.
Pang Yuniang walked up to him without him noticing. She raised her head to look at the clear sky and said calmly, "I was too smart and almost lost Qingqing's life!"
With a single sentence, she expressed her love and hatred for her father. Now that things had come to this, how could she not know why she had been humiliated in the Wushuang Gang? How could she not know why she had married Wang Lao? After this matter, her entire life had been ruined by her father, and she could forget about marrying a normal man ever again. How could she not hate him?
Pang Guan slowly lowered his head. In that instant, he seemed to have aged quite a bit.
From now on, he was no longer the powerful Marshal Mao Lu. Niu Youde could ensure that his subordinates stayed in their positions, but he couldn't protect him. If he could summon an army at any time, Niu Youde would not be able to eat or sleep in peace. Moreover, he was the traitor that Lord Qing had ordered. If he didn't step down, Niu Youde wouldn't be able to answer to the Heavenly Court!
He heard his daughter's words clearly, but he couldn't say a word of rebuttal. Now, he didn't have the power to decide anyone's life or death. The power that he had fought for all his life had been taken away by Niu Youde!
Because of this, Pang Yuniang dared to say such things. Normally, she wouldn't have dared to say such things in front of her father.
Chen Huaijiu wasn't here. After Pang Guan ordered his subordinates to surrender, he needed someone to communicate with the troops in the distance. Chen Huaijiu was naturally the best candidate.
In the guest house, a group of guests were surrounded. It was as if their nest had exploded. No one would have thought that the situation would take such a dramatic turn. Hao Defang and Pang Guan both fell into Niu Youde's hands.
"Hehe! Hao Defang and Pang Guan's main battlefield was actually taken care of by the reinforcements that appeared at the last minute. How can we explain this? "
"My god, Niu Youde is Pang Guan's son-in-law!"
"This son-in-law took care of his father-in-law the moment he appeared. Wow, he's really something!"
"This is what you call a treacherous hero. People like us who are softhearted are seen as useless. We can only spend our days in debauchery. This is the way of the world!"
Listening to the discussions around them, 'Huangfu Jun?' The shock in Y and Guang Mei 'er's hearts was indescribable. The treacherous situation and bloodshed on the battlefield were no longer something they could grasp. Now, they suddenly heard such a bizarre change. The man they were familiar with, who could single-handedly stir up a storm, suddenly became so distant in their hearts. He became somewhat unfamiliar, even making them feel a little scared.
As a congratulatory guest of the Vitality Sect, Spiritual Master Yu Xu couldn't help but hide under a corner of the roof. He looked up at the sky and sighed softly. He recalled how respectful the young man was when he first arrived at the Vitality Sect. It felt like a dream!
In the Li Palace of the Heavenly Court, Lord Qing and the others who were gathered around the star compass exchanged glances. Even they were stunned by the sudden change in events.
After a moment of silence, Lord Qing scoffed, "What a treacherous scoundrel. Boasting shamelessly, wanting to claim the Southern Army's territory. I'd like to see how he's going to get past Gong Qianqiu and Yuwen Chuan!"
In Kou Tianwang's manor, the news came as a shock to Kou Lingxu and the others. When Kou Lingxu heard about Hao Defang offering his own head, his cheeks puffed up and he slowly closed his eyes, a hint of tears in them.
Kou Zheng was stunned for a moment before he said, "Niu Youde is actually Pang Guan's son-in-law. This Niu Youde is truly ruthless. He actually betrayed his father-in-law at the last minute!"
Tang Henian also sighed, "Your Highness, it seems that Pang Guan has fallen for Niu Youde's trap. This Niu Youde may very well be the mastermind behind all this!"
Inside the conference hall of Marshal Mao Lu's manor, a group of generals were making calculations in front of the star compass. They were deploying their troops and making all sorts of preparations. Claiming the Southern Army's territory was not a simple matter. There were still many things that needed to be done.
Clad in a suit of armor, Miao Yi stood in the hall with his hands behind his back, his face expressionless.
Chen Huaijiu stepped in and looked at Miao Yi with a complicated expression. However, he still bowed respectfully when he arrived in front of Miao Yi and said, "Young Master!"
Miao Yi only replied with one sentence, "Don't worry. I will fulfill my promise. Since I have already addressed Marshal Pang as my father-in-law in front of everyone, I will not go back on my word. I will not hand over a single member of the Pang Clan to the Heavenly Court!"
Chen Huaijiu knew what this meant. He was telling him to work for Miao Yi with peace of mind. He bowed slightly and said, "This old servant understands."
Miao Yi tilted his head slightly and gestured for Chen Huaijiu to follow him.
Almost immediately after, Su Yun, who had reverted back to her female attire with a wooden expression, finally revealed her breathtaking beauty, despite the traces of age. She was also brought before Miao Yi.
This was also Miao Yi's first time seeing this woman in female attire. He couldn't help but sigh inwardly. He didn't expect this woman to be so breathtakingly beautiful in her female attire. Her temperament was a blend of intelligence and intelligence, and there wasn't the slightest bit of vulgarity in her beauty. Her beauty was truly rare. No wonder Hao Defang adored her so much.
The two of them stared at each other. Miao Yi's gaze was cold, as if he had been baptized by a storm. On the other hand, Su Yun's eyes were deathly still and lifeless.
"My condolences!" Miao Yi said.
Su Yun said quietly, "I know what you want. As long as you abide by your acknowledgment of His Highness and treat the brothers he entrusted to you well, I will fulfill your wish!"
"It's a promise!" Miao Yi extended his hand and had someone bring Su Yun to the side.
At this moment, Heng Wudao strode over and said softly, "Governor, Gong Qianqiu and Yuwen Chuan are gathering their forces quickly and are rushing here. I'm afraid they are up to no good!"
