"So? Want to lend a hand?"
Ye Yi saw through Zhao Zheng's thoughts and understood that the Northern You royal family was now at a disadvantage, which made this royal member somewhat anxious.
"Ancestor, I'm about to make my move."
Zhao Zheng gritted his teeth and hesitated.
Looking at the people he had personally trained, Ye Yi couldn't help but sigh, and then spoke.
"Do you remember the token we saw in the Great Winning Relics? Take it out."
"Ancestor."
Zhao Zheng stared wide-eyed in disbelief.
"Hmph, since you want to intervene, then use it. The foundation left by the Net has long been entrusted to you, brat. You can squander it however you want."
"Thank you, Ancestor."
"Infuse the token with the true energy of the Black Dragon Technique. I will help you conceal your presence, but after this incident, the Northern Nether Empress may become even more vigilant towards your royal family members. Will you regret it?"
No regrets.
Zhao Zheng's eyes turned serious. Only the Zhao family could be in charge of Bei You; no one else was allowed to interfere.
…………
Intense battles raged across the entire capital of the Northern Netherworld.
However, both forces remained remarkably calm and never affected the residents of the capital.
"Empress, give up. We will allow you to enjoy the patronage of the Northern You Empire as its retainer."
One of the three old men high in the sky, a kind-looking old man, spoke up to offer advice.
"Wishful thinking. Even if I die on the battlefield, I will never compromise."
The Northern Empress stared sharply at the three old men before her, the specks of blood on her body telling of her injuries.
"In that case, I'll have to take my leave."
The old man's eyes sharpened instantly; for the sake of his descendants, he was willing to do anything, even die a thousand deaths.
Boom~~
The four clashed again in mid-air, and the Empress was instantly suppressed and put on the defensive.
Seeing this, everyone understood one thing: the Empress's injuries might not be as simple as they seemed.
After all, it's only three half-step supreme beings who have made a move, yet the Empress is already in such a difficult situation.
"Ancestor, shall we make a move?"
"good."
Boom~~
Just as everyone was stunned after seeing the Empress vomit blood.
A giant character appeared in the sky again.
Upon seeing this word, many people widened their eyes in horror.
Because a huge '亥' (hai) hangs high in the sky.
"Young Master Hai?!"
The three old men looked at the word with some fear.
"Kid, I'll borrow your body for a bit."
Ye Yi gave a soft shout, and without waiting for Zhao Zheng's consent, he directly enveloped himself in black mist.
Then Ye Yi took one step at a time, slowly walking into the sky.
He walked up to the huge "亥" character and said expressionlessly.
"Where is the net?"
This name, which had disappeared for a long time, suddenly reappeared in everyone's ears.
The crowd's eyes were filled with disbelief.
The Empress and the three elders had long since stopped fighting and were now focusing on the overall situation on the battlefield.
The elders of the Meng family looked at the character "亥" in the sky with eyes full of memories, as if recalling the invincible Great Ying Empire of the past.
"We await your instructions, Second Young Master."
Sharp voices rang out from all over the capital of the Northern Netherworld, and these people were often the most easily overlooked figures in the entire capital.
Some were cleaning eunuchs in a remote palace within the imperial palace, while others were elderly men.
However, what terrified everyone was that these people were all incredibly powerful. Even the weakest one was at the Golden Core stage, and one of their forces even possessed the strength of a Venerable.
"Execute the traitors."
"As you command."
In an instant, countless ghostly figures appeared on the streets of the capital. The owners of these figures were the eunuchs. They were extremely agile and silently beheaded some masters.
Seeing this, many of the rebels were terrified.
"Don't panic, the Net is just forgotten garbage from history. Stay calm, stay calm."
After the rebel experts intercepted the skilled members of the Luo Wang (Net of Heaven), the rebels were able to stabilize their formation once again and begin a slow offensive.
However, these rebels were still somewhat terrified. After all, the reputation of the Net was not just for show. The Death Organization, once known as the Great Victory Organization, was a nightmare for countless people.
"Northern Ghost Wolf Riders, follow me and kill! Slay the traitors of Luo Wang!"
Seeing that the rebels were blocked by the Net and could not advance any further, the Northern Wolf Riders finally couldn't hold back and began to take action.
They surrounded and killed these assassins from the Net.
Faced with the Northern Ghost Wolf Riders, who were like killing machines, these assassins from the Luo Net were ultimately no match for them.
After all, the Luo Wang (Net of Heaven) has not appeared in the public eye for a very long time, so its strength is far from what it used to be.
While the Northern Ghost Wolf Riders may not be at their peak as they once were, they are seasoned veterans who have been constantly engaged in battle, so they are definitely not something that the current Luo Wang can catch up with.
"Haha, the Net is getting old after all."
An old man laughed arrogantly.
However, his eyes showed no sign of underestimating them, because the reputation of the Luo Wang was still quite terrifying, and the current Luo Wang was also a very frightening existence.
After all, an old eunuch who was half a step into the supreme realm appeared silently in the air, looking at the three rebels with no emotion in his eyes.
At first glance, one could tell that this old eunuch was someone whose days were numbered, and who might die after the battle that night. But the old eunuch didn't care at all, because he was the contemporary weaver of the net.
Upon seeing this, the three old men frowned. Although this old eunuch did not have much life left, he could easily hold off one of the three men, leaving the rest with little confidence in dealing with the Empress.
Finally, one of the old men gritted his teeth.
"Supreme Dugu, please make your move. My Yang family agrees to your conditions."
The old man's face was filled with heartache, clearly indicating that he had paid a heavy price.
As the old man finished speaking, the people of Beiyou were filled with even more despair. What was going on? A Supreme Being had actually joined in.
Still within the rebel army.
Immediately, the elder of the Meng family shook his head helplessly and said.
"Alas, it seems my Meng family shouldn't have gotten involved."
…………
"Empress, fight alongside me."
A voice suddenly rang out, the voice was very sharp, and a figure appeared in the air. It was clearly Dugu Zhizun, a man who looked like a sword.
"good."
Upon seeing the appearance of Dugu Zhizun, the Empress seemed to have known all along, and nodded without any hesitation.
But his eyes always lingered on Ye Yi under the character "亥" (hai), as if he were reminiscing about something.
"The Empress of Beiyou is destined to fall."
An elderly man watching the game couldn't help but sigh.
These elderly people are probably like the Bai family, a family that only recognizes tokens and not the Empress.
The invincibility of the Northern You Empire was forged by these people.
Therefore, they have the ability to quietly observe the internal strife without intervening.
After all, although the real leaders will become the aristocratic families, the descendants of the Zhao family will still sit on the throne, so these aristocratic families will definitely not make a move.
If anyone wants to depose the Zhao family's descendants from the throne, then these powerful families will definitely become the main force.
Seeing the situation, Ye Yi couldn't help but sigh.
He had no choice but to slowly draw the Heavenly Question Sword from his waist.
When the Heavenly Sword slowly pointed to the sky, everyone in the capital city gaped in astonishment, for the Heavenly Sword had not appeared for a very, very long time.
As the sword of the once-great-victorious emperor, its legendary status is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
"By my decree, all my valiant sons shall be executed for treason. Those who stand idly by shall be traitors after the war."
A mighty sound descended from the sky, making everyone feel breathless.
"The Bai family obeys the order. The Bai family members will follow the patriarch to kill the traitors."
A weathered voice from the Bai family responded first.
Suddenly, an elderly man with white hair and wearing armor appeared in the sky above the Bai family.
When the elder of the He family saw this person, he was instantly stunned.
"Bai Wu Hui, you old bastard, you're still alive?!"
The old man sneered, then gathered all his battle aura and unleashed it at the elder of the He family.
"The Wang family obeys the order; the Wang family members shall slay the traitors."
A voice, still weathered by time, echoed from the Prince's mansion.
A streak of light instantly intercepted a half-step Supreme Elder among the rebels.
Immediately, countless soldiers clad in armor charged fiercely from the Wang family's mansion towards the rebel army.
Outside the capital of the Northern Netherworld, the continuous sound of hooves echoed, clearly indicating that the Northern Netherworld Wolf Riders, who had previously stood by and watched, had also begun to move out.
In an instant, the entire situation underwent a dramatic change.
"Father, is that you who has returned?"
The empress was lost in thought.
They even forgot that there was a supreme master in front of them.
Bang~~
The clash between the supreme beings was so intense that it brought the Empress back to her senses.
"You should come to your senses."
Ye Yi blocked Dugu Zhizun's attack, then said without turning his head.
Her tone was extremely cold, but the Empress seemed to have returned to the most powerful time of the Great Ying Empire.
At that time, his elder brother would stand in front of him, protecting him from powerful enemies.
Upon seeing his attack blocked by the mysterious man, Dugu Zhizun instantly created distance.
His attention was not on Ye Yi, but on the Yang family patriarch who was locked in a fierce battle.
"The price you paid is not enough for me to face two supreme-level masters."
Upon hearing this, everyone's gaze turned strange, and they looked at Ye Yi with great astonishment.
"My He family will also contribute," the He family patriarch, who was fighting hard nearby, immediately spoke up.
It was also very painful to see my face.
"not enough."
Dugu Zhizun said expressionlessly.
"Dugu, remember this clearly: we want you to defeat a wounded Supreme Being."
The patriarch of the Shen family spat out a mouthful of blood and then spoke angrily.
"Not enough. The newly emerged Supreme is an old Supreme, a Supreme with only a wisp of remnant soul left. Fighting him will put you at risk of perishing."
Dugu Zhizun spoke directly without hesitation.
“Alright, our Shen family will also add a share.”
"Not enough," Dugu Zhizun said, his face still cold.
"you."
The three patriarchs took a step back, looking at Supreme Dugu with disbelief.
Clearly, this time the Supreme Being of the Dugu clan hesitated. He wanted to withdraw from the battlefield because the reward was insufficient, rather than get caught up in a fight to the death.
"Dugu, what do you want the world to think of you by doing this?"
The Yang family patriarch roared angrily.
Clearly, if Dugu Zhizun doesn't join the battle, the aristocratic families will have even less chance of success.
The reason why the aristocratic families are still holding on is because everyone in the rebel army has a glimmer of hope for the strength of the Supreme Lord Dugu, believing that he alone cannot defeat the two Supreme Lords of the Northern You Empire.
That's why they gritted their teeth and continued fighting.
However, now that Dugu Zhizun wants to withdraw from the battle, it is clear that this will be a huge blow to the morale of these rebels.
Dugu Zhizun did not answer, his eyes still coldly watching the two armies fighting below, as if it had little to do with him.
"Hehe, so your name is Dugu Zhizun, right? Although my Great Ying is no longer powerful, it's not like you can come and go as you please."
Ye Yi narrowed his eyes, exuding a terrifying aura as he spoke.
Faced with Ye Yi's appearance, Dugu Zhizun was still very troubled. Although he was both righteous and evil and very cold-blooded, he could not be called a fool.
After all, the person in front of him was clearly an old codger who had survived from the Great Ying Empire when it was still barely clinging to life, so his combat power was definitely not weak.
In terms of even more profound knowledge, this person might be even stronger than himself, especially since this mysterious person is just a remnant soul and has no fear of death.
"What do you want?"
"Cut off an arm."
Ye Yi wasn't worried at all. Although Dugu Zhizun was locked in a life-or-death battle, the appearance of the secret realm allowed Dugu Zhizun to see an even higher realm. Therefore, for him, there was still a higher realm to pursue, and he absolutely would not allow himself to die under such circumstances.
"No, try another one."
Dugu Zhizun remained expressionless as he spoke.
Clearly, losing an arm would reduce his combat effectiveness, and he would absolutely not allow that.
"Then let's exchange a move. Let me see your fighting prowess."
Suddenly, Ye Yi sprang into action, brandishing the Heavenly Question Sword in his hand, and launched a fierce attack on Dugu Zhizun, seemingly intent on killing him.
Ding~~
The two then engaged in a very simple exchange of blows.
Yes, unlike the others, the two of them took out their swords and began to duel with sword techniques.
There were no unusual phenomena, nor any earth-shattering true energy.
It was a simple duel, but no one dared to underestimate the duel between the two, because their battle appeared to be both exquisite and fraught with danger.
Anyone who enters it risks perishing.
Therefore, they will absolutely not allow themselves to give up like this.
Ding~~ Ding~~
The sound of sword tips clashing.
As this sound rang out, the sounds of battle in the capital gradually subsided.
All that could be seen was the massacre of numerous rebel soldiers.
Even the three rebelling Northern Ghost Wolf Riders were surrounded and wiped out by the other four Northern Ghost Wolf Riders.
