As the city fell, the outcome of the battle was already decided, but some enemy troops still stubbornly resisted and fought fiercely. Smoke billowed, and this magnificent city was shrouded in a gray gloom. Everything that had once been sheltered under its walls was now in ruins as the city gates collapsed, foreshadowing the impending annihilation.
Having witnessed the devastation of war that tore apart the city gates, leaving it in ruins and littered with corpses, Yuwen Sheng, clad in black armor and a red cloak, ascended the city tower of Fenggu Sand City in the vast, desolate, and chilling night.
He gazed at the city shrouded in darkness, but could not find the person who resented and hated him in his dreams.
He stepped closer to Yang Gu, whose hands were tied behind his back and who was kneeling on the ground: "Where is she?"
Yang Gu was slashed on the shoulder, and blood splattered on the ground, leaving a long trail of blood.
His helmet had long since fallen off, and his disheveled hair was draped over his face: "Yuwen Sheng, your wife is not in our hands at all!"
"I saw Mo Ye take the person away with my own eyes, and now you're telling me the person isn't here?" Yuwen Sheng smiled, his eyes gleaming, seemingly very puzzled by the current situation.

Yuwen Sheng chuckled and said, "If Mo Ye intends to hide my wife, then I will have no choice but to resort to some inhuman methods... For example, slaughtering the entire city and using blood to awaken Mo Ye's irrational mind."
"You can't do this! Yuwen Sheng, Mo Ye didn't hide her! As long as she's still in our hands, even if it's by force, I will make Mo Ye hand her over!" Yang Gu said urgently.
However, Yuwen Sheng ignored him. He raised his head, his jawline, covered by a ghost mask, was so white it was almost transparent: "Three days. I will issue a message to give him three days to bring his men over. If Mo Ye does not return my wife to me by sunset on the third day, I will continue my journey to Julu Kingdom, searching for her city by city until she appears before me!"
"Are you insane! Don't you know what the consequences will be? Is your Ye Kingdom really prepared for a full-scale war with the Julu Kingdom?!"
Upon hearing this, Yuwen Sheng's voice softened slightly, yet remained chillingly cold: "The consequences? I, the commander, can certainly bear them, but what about you? Can you bear them?"
Yang Gu felt a deafening explosion.
No, they can't afford it!
