Jiang Yi had specially passed by the ancient city and saw that it had completely collapsed, becoming a pile of ruins. However, the stench of blood in the air did not dissipate.

Because there were too many people who had died, this place had turned into a ghost realm. It was a land of death, filled with evil winds. It was like the wailing of ghosts and the howling of gods, causing one's hair to stand on end.

Along the way, Jiang Yi did not see the shadow of a Blood Sucking Mounted Bandit, it was as though the imperial army had completely captured all of the Blood Sucking Mounted Bandit and swept them clean.

However, this was exactly what Jiang Yi wanted. The Blood Sucking Mounted Bandit occupied the northwest region, and had committed many evil deeds, causing countless people to suffer, and now that they were exterminated, it was as if they deserved it. For the sake of eliminating evil, the northwest region would welcome peace.

Although this was not destroyed by Jiang Yi, he was still happy inside because of this. His thoughts were clear, this was his true heart, for the sake of his people, he could not be faked.

If the Blood Sucking Mounted Bandit was not destroyed, he would probably have to stay in the Northwest Continent and kill the Blood Sucking Mounted Bandit. If he had sufficient strength, he would go to the ancient city to deal with Tu Qianchi.

However, this would probably take a long time to accomplish, because Tu Qianchi was very strong, he was an expert at the second stage of Tri-flower Crown, refining Qi and gathering people into flowers, he was not easy to deal with.

Zhou Qingsha approved greatly of her actions. After she had reached the Li Zhou, her actions had indeed left a new level of respect for her, and her eyes lit up.

It was just that he did not know whether Tu Qianchi had been killed or not. If he was not killed, then it would be a huge hidden danger.

In only half a day's time, Jiang Yi had already returned to the villa, his speed astonishing.

"Jiang Yi, you're finally back?" As soon as he entered the manor, Ding Yunjie came up to him. There seemed to be some anxiety on his face.

"Just you alone? What about Gu Heng and the other two? Did you encounter some danger? " Jiang Yi's face changed.

"No, no, no, we received Lu Yan's message. There seemed to be something urgent, we waited for you for a few days, but you still didn't return, so we decided to leave first with the three of them, and let me continue to wait for you here alone."

Ding Yunjie hurriedly explained, realizing that his actions would lead to a misunderstanding.

"It's good that you're fine!" Jiang Yi could not help but heave a sigh of relief: "When did they leave?"

Even though he and Gu Heng had not known each other for long, he already knew that they were loyal to each other.

Moreover, their fathers were all loyal followers of the Great Li Kingdom. They had bowed with all their might for the Great Li Kingdom, and had died with no regrets. Since they had decided to follow him, he naturally did not wish for anything to happen to them.

"I just left this morning!" Ding Yunjie answered.

"There's no time to lose. Let's set off immediately, maybe we can catch up to them!" Jiang Yi nodded and said.

"There are two northwest Hummer Horses here. If we ride on them, we will save a lot of time!"

While the four of them were waiting for Jiang Yi at the villa, they had already gotten a few Northwest Warrior Horses so that they could use them whenever they needed to.

This Northwest Hummer was the special attribute of the Northwest. It was tall and sturdy, and its speed and endurance were better than a "Scarlet Blood Horse".

Thus, the two of them rode their Northwest Hummer and left the manor, leaving behind rolling sand.

Three days later, the two of them, worn out from the journey, finally arrived in front of a valley!

"We're here. This is quiet and secluded valley. It's heavily guarded. I'll lead the way!" Ding Yunjie said, then took the lead and led Jiang Yi into the valley.

As Jiang Yi advanced, he released his psychokinesis to probe the surroundings of the valley.

On the way here, Ding Yunjie had told him everything.

Currently, Li Zhou, big and small, there are a lot of powers resisting the Central Dynasty.

There were many powers that were loyal to the Great Li Kingdom. In order to survive and protect themselves, they had no choice but to gather some men to fight against the imperial government.

In fact, they wanted to claim the throne as their own and had great ambitions, with the words "Mo Palace" and "Jin Palace" taking the lead.

Lu Yan, the son of Lu Ya, the head of the Great Li Country's "Imperial Guard Division", had gathered over a thousand men and formed a "Imperial Guard". Half a year ago, he had killed many officials and generals of the central imperial court, and had risen up to rebel.

Gu Heng, Meng Chang, Ding Yunjie, and Liang Huanji were originally going to seek refuge at the "Mu Palace", but they were caught by Mu Jingtang, and were forced to reveal the whereabouts of the "Ever-Flame Sword". After that, they found a chance to escape, escaped, and met Lu Yan, and thus joined the "Imperial Guard".

had seen the "Ever-Flame Sword" before in the father's study. It was a precious treasure of the Great Li Kingdom, the legendary "spirit artifact", it was extremely powerful.

Jiang Yi remembered one time, when the father was out on patrol and exposed the situation, a few evil sect Godly Envoy s had gathered a large number of disciples and followers from the evil sects and surrounded the father. Just at this time, the father used the "Ever-Flame Sword" and instantly killed the few evil sect Godly Envoy s, reversing the situation.

However, when the Central Dynasty breached the imperial city and left the capital, they overturned the entire imperial palace, but were still unable to find the whereabouts of the "Ever-Flame Sword".

From then on, the "Ever-Flame Sword" had completely disappeared and never appeared again.

However, even after ten years had passed, there were still many people who were unwilling to give up. They all had the "Ever-Flame Sword" in their minds.

This was because once one controlled a "spirit weapon," then they would be able to sweep across the world unhindered, rarely meeting an enemy, and almost invincibly placing themselves in an invincible position.

It was a pity that even Jiang Yi the Crown Prince did not know the whereabouts of the "Ever-Flame Sword".

At this moment, a huge change occurred in the quiet and secluded valley.

In the depths of the quiet and secluded valley, there was a huge mountain stronghold. The buildings, houses, and watchtowers were all made from giant rocks and wood. The materials were brand-new. It was obvious that this stronghold hadn't been built for a long time.

At this moment, in front of the mountain stronghold, there was an enormous arena. Within it, the shadows of people could be seen. The air emitted a tense atmosphere that caused one to feel oppressed.

Amongst the crowd, there were two figures that were extremely eye-catching: a man and a woman. The man was dressed in white jade, and the woman was dressed in red.

"Lu Yan, how does this cartilage powder taste? Do you still want to resist? " Liang Sheng stood out and was the first to speak, overbearing and domineering.

Opposite him was a silver-armored man, roughly 20 years old. His stature was upright and his features distinct. However, his face was pale and his body was weak without any strength. If it weren't for Gu Huan supporting him, his body might not have even been able to support him.

Not only him, there were also many other people wearing black armor that collapsed on the ground as their bodies became powerless.

These people were from the 'imperial guard'. They had all been hit by the 'Cartilage Powder'.

This "Cartilage Powder" was a colourless, odourless poison. However, it was not fatal. Rather, it made his entire body weak and he could not muster up any strength.

No matter how high a martial artist was, once they were hit by the "Cartilage Powder", their hands and feet would become powerless, and they could only allow themselves to be slaughtered by others.

This was a tactic commonly used by "Shadow Killing House," but no one had expected it to happen in the quiet and secluded valley.

"Qiu Qian, I originally trusted you so much after saving you from a General Central Dynasty. Yet, you actually betrayed me, sought refuge in the palace, and poisoned me?"

Even though Lu Yan was hit by the Cartilage Powder, he still maintained his dignity and shouted loudly.

This Qiu Qian had some ability and a sharp mind. He was the person he trusted the most among the "imperial guards," but it was this person who, unexpectedly, had poisoned everyone with "Cartilage Powder" and betrayed him.

"Haha, Lu Yan, you have indeed saved my life, but I have followed by your side and risked my life for you.

On the contrary, it was as if everything was natural: "A wise man knows what's good, I advise you to obediently surrender and submit to the palace, only then will you have a chance to live. Even if you don't think for yourself, you should at least think for others, for this half year, everyone has been chased by the imperial court, like a stray dog, hiding here and there, terrified, and may die at any time, only by relying on the palace will you have the best choice, you don't have to live like this anymore."

"You …"

Lu Yan glared at him, but there was nothing he could say to refute him.

"Qiu Qian, a despicable, shameless, and ungrateful villain like you would not have a good ending."

Just at this time, Gu Heng opened his mouth and spoke, his gaze cold and fierce: "That Mu Jingtang is ambitious and ruthless, he is definitely not a good person, you think that just by relying on him, you can go as far as you want? It was just a daydream. A while ago, the Mu palace was surrounded and annihilated by the imperial government, causing it to run away like a stray dog. How good do you think you can get? "

Now that their Central Dynasty was so strong, it would definitely not be good for anyone.

Especially after the imperial government sent its minister, Zhou Qingsha, to the Li Zhou, the series of lightning wrists made people feel even more fear.

"Gu Huan, you're courting death!"

Hearing this, Qiu Qian said with killing intent, "Who do you think you are? Who gave you the guts to speak such outrageous words to slander Palace Master Mu Jingtang? "Even your father, the Marquis of Ripping Wind, would have to bow when he sees the palace master. He doesn't dare to be negligent, and your words just now are already a capital offense that cannot be forgiven."

His words were full of flattery and fawning towards Mu Jingtang. As he berated them, he swept his gaze towards Liang Sheng and Wen Hongyu, and after realizing that the two of them were indifferent and completely giving him authority, they became even more unbridled.

Right now, he was using the "Cartilage Powder" to poison everyone. Letting the Mu Palace take down Lu Yan and the others without even a single fight was already a huge accomplishment.

At this thought, his heart began to fill with excitement. However, he didn't show it on his face. Instead, his face was filled with rage as he stared at Gu Huan, filled with righteous indignation.
