Sheng Xiang deployed the Sky Hunter Legion to invade Salt Sea City, forcing the people inside and outside Salt Sea City to gather on high ground and concentrate their fire to resist the Sky Hunter Legion's invasion.
When Daiyu released the Dai clan members to fight the enemy, Shengxiang saw an opportunity to kill Zheng Ya. He used the Sky Hunter to swoop down from the sky and kill the Dai clan members, which prompted Zheng Ya to inform Qinglong to rush to the rescue of the Dai clan. He fell into the trap.
By luring Zheng Ya away from Qinglong's protection, Sheng Xiang was given the opportunity to assassinate him.
This ambush was launched from underground.
Even though Zheng Ya was very perceptive, he was careless and unprepared.
Strictly speaking, Zheng Ya's lack of preparedness underground and his distraction from focusing on the Azure Dragon's battle against the Sky Hunter Legion led to him being devoured by a gold-eating beast: "Awooo!"
Suddenly, it opened its mouth and swallowed Zheng Ya along with a large area of land and bricks.
Danger! Zheng Ya trembled in fear and launched a counterattack: "Whoosh!"
He flashed a thousand meters in one step to the back of the Prince of Donglin, knocked him unconscious with a backhand slash, packed him up and took him away, changed his clothes and transformed himself, and switched identities.
With a "plop," the Gold-Eating Beast tore apart Zheng Ya's body, bursting out of the ground, blood and flesh fragments flowing from the corner of its mouth.
This startled Sheng Xiang, whose laughter gradually erupted into maniacal ecstasy: "Ha, ha, ha ha, Zheng Ya is dead just like that..."
"You can die too!" Zheng Ya, disguised as the Prince of Donglin, flashed behind Sheng Xiang and swung his right-hand sword to slash at his neck: "Pfft!"
Originally a hand-blade imbued with spatial abilities, it cleaved through space, and then accelerated the slicing with time abilities. No enemy of the same level could withstand it. Furthermore, with the ability to manipulate the mind, soul, and will, a single strike could easily decapitate the enemy.
Zheng Ya initially did not intend to kill Sheng Xiang, fearing that he would offend powerful forces. He preferred to use someone else to do the dirty work rather than do it himself.
The Tower of Babel mark represents surveillance, spies, and powerful beings who use it as a tool to plan for the future.
Zheng Ya didn't want to be used by others, and never intended to kill the transmigrator, to prevent anyone from using his weakness against him!
However, when Zheng Ya saw through Sheng Xiang's elaborate schemes, he realized that anyone else would have been killed eighty thousand times over. In addition, Sheng Xiang's selfishness and recklessness, which caused great suffering to the people, made Zheng Ya furious and launched a decapitation operation.
An eye for an eye, and the entire audience was beheaded.
He exchanged the identity of the Prince of Donglin for the Prince of Donglin's identity, beheaded the Prince of Donglin, who died in the mouth of the Gold-Eating Beast, and misled Sheng Xiang into believing it to be true. In his moment of distraction after succeeding, he beheaded Sheng Xiang again.
The plan is perfect.
But reality is cruel.
Sheng Xiang, who should have been beheaded by Zheng Ya with a single chop to the neck, felt a buzzing sound.
The invincible golden body shone brightly, creating a protective shield that protected Sheng Xiang's entire body and blocked the leader's hand strike.
"Ah!" Sheng Xiang screamed and was sent flying. Zheng Ya was so surprised that he was stunned for a moment. Then he saw the Gold-Eating Beast open its mouth and swallow Sheng Xiang, then lower its head and burrow into the ground and disappear.
What's going on?
Zheng Ya was stunned and frustrated, then immediately ordered: "Counterattack the Sky Hunter Legion across the board! Kill!"
Frustration, anger, and annoyance overwhelmed Zheng Ya, causing him to instantly teleport into the air and spin to kill his enemies: "Puff puff puff!"
With a swift chop, he vanished without a trace, only to see the ferocious birds of the Sky Hunter Legion fall headfirst, turning into a shower of corpses and blood rain.
Those who saw it inside and outside Salt Sea City shouted encouragement: "Your Highness is mighty! Kill! Kill! Kill!"
Cheerleaders were everywhere in and around Saltsea City, shouting encouragement as they fought, boosting the city's fighting strength.
With a "bang," a firework bloomed in the sky, and Sheng Xiang appeared ten miles away, riding a thundercloud eagle and roaring: "Withdraw, Prince of Donglin, you are very good."
They hid it very well; they even possess spatial abilities. We'll see…
"You stray dog, prepare to die!" Zheng Ya transformed into a killing god, slaughtering everyone in his path. Sheng Xiang immediately ordered the Thunder Cloud Eagle to spread its wings and fly away, leading the escape.
The Sky Hunter Legion retreated swiftly, and Zheng Ya alone pursued them, managing to kill just one-fifth of the Sky Hunters.
With Sheng Xiang gone, Zheng Ya returned to Yanhai City, landing atop the North Gate tower. Looking down at the Dai clan on the city wall, he coldly sneered, "Earl Dai, do you know your crime?"
"The prince has seized power in Jiangnan, poisoning the people, raising private armies and gangs, and intimidating the merchants to serve you, plotting wickedness?"
"May I ask, Your Highness, what crime have I committed?" Earl Dai looked up at him angrily, his expression one of utter contempt, wishing he could fly up and bite this traitor to death.
At present, the survivors of various factions and families have already fled.
Or perhaps this was Zheng Ya deliberately pursuing the enemy, giving the survivors of various factions a chance to escape.
After all, killing them is easy.
But that would offend the whole world, which would be tantamount to declaring war on Emperor Chengping and rebelling immediately.
Even the Prince of Donglin himself would not choose this situation.
Beset by internal and external troubles, if they were to confront Emperor Chengping head-on, they would inevitably face a pincer attack from both sides, with the Dali and Anyuan dynasties joining forces.
Even if they don't unite, they will wait for an opportunity to stab each other in the back.
Zheng Ya simply released the survivors from the various factions and families, letting them go back and tell Emperor Chengping that without the Prince of Donglin in charge of Jiangnan, if the Dark Yuan Dynasty invaded or joined forces with the Dark Yuan Dynasty to attack the Dali Dynasty, as long as Emperor Chengping wasn't stupid, he wouldn't hold Zheng Ya, this imposter Prince of Donglin, accountable.
But plans can't keep up with changes.
The fact that the Dai family refused to leave infuriated Zheng Ya; wasn't this just undermining them?
Despite his annoyance, Zheng Ya scoffed at Earl Dai's questioning, "Ignorant, stubborn, you're just a blockhead, you won't get it."
The political chaos and this war in Jiangnan were all traps set by that little bastard, which led to the deaths of countless people.
They even used me as a gun, a tool to instigate rebellion.
How many secrets are hidden within this? How many do you know?
"Hmph, this is your sophistry, Prince of Donglin. I don't believe it. I only believe the facts..." Earl Dai stubbornly refused to admit his mistake, having already thoroughly cursed Sheng Xiang in his heart.
Zheng Ya didn't care about his mental state and waved his hand to order: "Men, arrest the Dai family and await the court's judgment!"
"Yes, Earl Dai, please?" The steward led the soldiers up the city wall, coldly rebuking them. He was determined to kill the entire Dai family, but dared not utter a word at this moment.
The prince suddenly became an anomaly, no longer the original prince?
Was it someone who was sowing discord and spreading rumors?
Or is it true?
This is going to be fatal.
Seeing that he had shown leniency towards his clansmen and hadn't immediately ordered his soldiers to arrest people, Earl Dai felt much better. He took the lead and stepped down the city wall ladder, saying, "Prince of Donglin, do not rely on your achievements in repelling the Dark Yuan Sky Hunter Legion to rebel against your superiors and do whatever you want..."
"Father!" Daiyu approached her father with a mixture of anger and resentment. What was meant to be a gentle and kind admonition was now tinged with heartache, pain, and resentment.
Zheng Ya angrily rebuked, "Earl Dai led the Dai clan to plunder the finances of Jiangnan and colluded with the Dark Yuan to invade Dali. His crimes deserve the execution of his entire family..."
"No, you're framing me. The original sin is that escaped scourge. If you're so capable, go and catch him!"
"Why should my father bear all the blame..." Daiyu turned around and shouted, her heart breaking!
The Dai family is finished, their infamy will last forever...
