The deaths of Xiong Wu and others did not have a significant impact on the anti-Qin alliance.
The Qin army now constitutes the largest part of the anti-Qin alliance, while the armies of the other six states are merely dissatisfied with the tyranny of the Qin state.
Now that they are about to overthrow the Qin state, they don't care who becomes the leader of the alliance.
Of course, some nobles from the six states were still dissatisfied, and Yang Cheng had already handed that matter over to Zhang Liang to deal with.
Those who don't know what's good for them should be dealt with directly; their presence or absence is irrelevant to the anti-Qin alliance anyway.
As for the schools of thought from the Hundred Schools of Thought who previously supported them, they had no objections.
These schools of thought only had a cooperative relationship with them; the fact that they didn't even call upon them to ambush Xiong Wu proves that Xiong Wu himself didn't trust them either.
The Yin-Yang School and the Mohist School immediately expressed that Yang Cheng had done a good job killing him.
They're fighting amongst themselves before the big battle! Xiong Wu and his men deserve to die!
Only the Confucian school had some reservations, believing that Yang Cheng had ruthlessly killed Huang Ju.
However, they were also angry that Huang Ju made such a big decision without consulting them, so in the end they didn't say much.
After everything was settled, the group marched directly into Xianyang.
The army marched to the walls of Xianyang, but when everyone looked up at the city walls, they were all taken aback.
The gates of Xianyang were tightly shut, but there was not a single person on the city walls; it was utterly silent.
The group exchanged glances, all wondering what Xu Fu was up to.
Tian Chong, the master of the Mohist school, took out a large wooden bird with only one crystal-like eye embedded in the center.
Tian Chong released the large bird, and the wooden bird actually flapped its wings and flew into the sky.
A moment later, Tian Chong's expression changed drastically.
"What's wrong?"
Zhang Liang asked.
Tian Chong's face twitched: "There are no Qin soldiers guarding the city walls, only corpses!"
Furthermore, there wasn't a single living person to be seen within the city of Xianyang!
Everyone was stunned. Xianyang City had become a dead city?
"Break down the city gate!"
Although the gates of Xianyang were closed, they were not reinforced, so they were easily broken open.
The group exchanged glances, and Yang Cheng said in a deep voice, "Since there are no soldiers guarding the gate, then we don't need to let the army enter. Let's just set up camp outside Xianyang City."
Xu Fu is up to some unknown scheme, so just to be on the safe side, only cultivators are allowed into Xianyang City.
Everyone agreed with Yang Cheng's idea, and the cultivators of the Anti-Qin Alliance, along with people from various schools of thought and major sects, gathered together and entered the city.
They were still somewhat taken aback when Mozi's master, Tian Chong, said that Xianyang City was full of corpses.
But now they've finally seen that scene.
The soldiers defending the city died; their bodies were disemboweled, and their deaths were gruesome.
The once bustling streets of the city were deserted, littered with corpses, and the stench of blood was overwhelming.
Moreover, some of the blood appeared to have congealed, indicating that they had clearly been dead for many days.
The entire city of Xianyang is now a dead city!
The Shui family patriarch, Shui Qing, suddenly exclaimed in shock, "It's the Lishan Demon! The real injuries were definitely caused by the Lishan Demon!"
The Shui family had fought the Lishan Demon at close range, so Shui Qing could recognize at a glance that the injuries were caused by the Lishan Demon.
Yang Cheng frowned and said, "So Xu Fu massacred the entire city of Xianyang? What exactly did he want to do?"
"For alchemy!"
Fusu trembled all over, his face pale: "The Qi cultivator beside Father Emperor left a will saying that Xu Fu instigated the war with the anti-Qin alliance in order to collect the blood and vengeful spirits of the dead to refine pills."
However, because General Yang was present, there were no large-scale casualties in this battle, and there certainly weren't enough blood and vengeful spirits to go around.
Therefore, during Xu Fu's time, the sorcerers slaughtered the entire city of Xianyang to refine elixirs!
After saying this, Fusu suddenly knelt down in front of Yang Cheng and burst into tears.
"General Yang, please slay that sorcerer Xu Fu to avenge the massacre of Xianyang!"
Xianyang was the core of the Qin state, where countless old Qin people, as well as soldiers and nobles who followed the First Emperor in his campaigns, lived.
Now, all these people have been slaughtered by Xu Fu, and Fusu's grief is beyond measure.
Yang Cheng helped Fusu up and said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, my lord, Xu Fu is doomed!"
Although that's what they said, everyone felt a little heavy-hearted.
Xu Fu has gone mad. He has slaughtered the entire city of Xianyang. With so many bloody and wronged souls, what kind of elixir does he want to refine?
The group headed towards the Qin Palace, which was now abandoned. Several years earlier, when the First Emperor began building the Epang Palace behind the Qin Palace, the Qin King moved there to live, as did Xu Fu. The Qin Palace was left only for Li Si and his associates to handle state affairs.

At this time, the entire Qin palace was also filled with blood, and the steps were covered with corpses, all of whom were Qin officials and nobles.
"Zhao Gao!"
Li Si exclaimed in shock as he saw a corpse that had been torn to pieces, with only the head still intact.
He was incredibly grateful at that moment, grateful that he had made the decisive decision to leave Xianyang to find Meng Tian, otherwise he would be one of these corpses now.
At this moment, Li Si suddenly thought of something, and his expression changed slightly.
"Where are the golden men? Where have they gone?"
Yang Cheng frowned and asked, "The Twelve Capital Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation?"
Li Si exclaimed in a panic, "Yes! The Jurchens should have been deployed in the square outside the Qin Palace before, so why are they all gone now?"
