At this point, even if they returned to their homeland, the ruler of Western Zhou would not be able to take action against the Yu family in the short term.

Yu Xu felt that Lord Yu Hou thought the domestic crisis was over and wanted to break his promise.

At that moment, he looked down on Lord Yu.

I don't think Lord Yu is a hero; he doesn't live up to his reputation.

Most importantly, he didn't want to lose his last chance to be with Ji Weiran.

The fact that the Western Zhou Dynasty was willing to wage war against the Wuya Dynasty for the sake of the women of the Ji family shows just how determined they were.

They were so persistent even before the war started. Now that the war has begun, it's all for the sake of face. In the end, they will definitely take back the women of the Ji family.

For a country, nothing is more important than its reputation.

Prestige is the foundation of a nation's existence.

Therefore, if the Wuya Dynasty had truly fallen, Ji Weiran would inevitably have been sent back to the Western Zhou Dynasty.

By then, he would truly lose Ji Weiran.

Rather than regretting it later, it's better to die with your loved one.

In this way, at least there will be no regrets in life.

"You bastard, what are you doing!"

Hearing Yu Xu's resolute words, Lord Yu was greatly alarmed. He quickly flew after him and grabbed Yu Xu's sleeve to stop him.

"Father, please forgive your son's filial impiety."

However, with tears in his eyes, Yu Xu roared and threw a handful of medicine powder at Lord Yu.

"this…"

Upon seeing a cloud of powder being thrown at him, Lord Yu immediately activated his Xuan power to defend himself, but it was too late; a considerable amount had already been inhaled into his nasal cavity.

"Thump..."

In an instant, Lord Yu felt his entire body's profound energy rapidly freeze, eventually being completely sealed within his dantian, and he fell down along with the flying sword.

Fortunately, it wasn't a high fall, so I didn't get hurt. It's just that I can't use my Xuan power for the time being.

"My lord!"

Upon seeing the situation, the guards exclaimed in surprise and rushed over to help Lord Yu up.

"Never mind me, chase after him! Quickly bring that brat back!"

Lord Yu disregarded his pride and struggled to his feet before immediately shouting orders to his guards.

"yes…"

Upon seeing that Lord Yu was truly angry, the guards quickly flew after him.

"Knock knock knock..."

But as soon as they got close, another packet of powder came towards them, and without exception, all the guards who were chasing them were poisoned.

Lord Yu: "..."

Damn it, just how much poison powder did they carry on them?!

Watching Yu Xu fly further and further away, Lord Yu's face turned green with anger.

This brat actually dared to poison his own father in such an insubordinate way!

That's utterly outrageous!

"My lord, please calm down."

After the physician examined Lord Yu, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's just a common meridian-blocking powder. It temporarily seals the meridians and blocks the flow of spiritual energy. It should be cured in about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea. Lord Yu is very careful with his actions."

"Knowing what's right? Poisoning his own father, and you call that knowing what's right?"

After hearing the physician's words, Lord Yu was even angrier, and his outstretched finger trembled. "I should have killed him the moment he was born, to save myself the trouble!"

He'd risk his life for a woman; all these years, he's raised a heartless wretch!

He's so angry!

"My lord, something terrible has happened! The young marquis..."

What's wrong with him?

Seeing the soldiers' panicked expressions, Lord Yu, who had been furious, immediately became nervous.

"The young marquis... he ran all the way to the city walls of the Wuya Dynasty..."
