Xu Yuehuai used the money he had left to purchase supplies, found a safe place, and began to manufacture weapons.
Wang Mang kept watch outside the room, going out to buy food when necessary. He worked like this for three days without sleep or rest, and Xu Yuehuai finally managed to make what she wanted.
In recent days, everyone in the royal city had already noticed that Bei Wei was acting strangely.
That very night, after Xu Yuehuai finished making the item, she stepped out of her room, and Wang Mang excitedly approached her. "Did you succeed? So, shall we set off together tonight to attack the capital?"
Xu Yuehuai's expression was serious. "No, this operation is very dangerous. Even I am not sure if I can come back alive. So take the rest of the silver and leave here. The farther away from the royal city, the better."
Tonight, a great battle is destined to take place in the royal city.
The moon is bright red tonight, a harbinger of impending disaster. People stand at their doorsteps, looking up at the sky and discussing the situation.
Inside the royal city, Bei Wei stood at the very top. She was still alive, and even stronger than before. On the city wall, Bei Wei's disdain was fully revealed.
Xu Yuehuai arrived alone at the foot of the city wall with something covered by a black cloth.
During these three days of research, Xu Yuehuai learned many things that were unknown to others, and she had long anticipated that she would face Bei Wei again.
But this will also be the last time I face her.
"You didn't expect that, did you? I'm even stronger than before. I advise you to give up now and stop thinking about how to save everyone all day long. These past few days, all you've done is, in my eyes, just a child playing games with me." Bei Wei spoke condescendingly, her voice carrying through the air to Xu Yuehuai's ears.
Xu Yuehuai, dressed in a white dress, stood below, exuding a Taoist aura.
A gaze had been fixed on them from a distance. Before the fight, Xu Yuehuai glanced in that direction, but only for a moment before looking away.
Since he is unwilling to come out and see me, I won't force him.
"A game?" Xu Yuehuai chuckled. "Then you'd better watch out for my moves."
As soon as she finished speaking, Xu Yuehuai took a slight step and lightly touched the ground. She then soared into the air, making hand gestures that no one could understand, while a strong wind blew around her.
Many weaker members of the alien race on the city wall were blown about by the strong wind, and their once orderly ranks were instantly wiped out.
Even Bei Wei hadn't expected that Xu Yuehuai's strength would increase so much in just three days, to the point that even she couldn't see through him.
Outside the royal city, Wang Mang, who had been standing still, walked away after listening to Xu Yuehuai's words. He knew that he was not strong enough, and if he stayed, he would only cause Xu Yuehuai more trouble.
However, when the strong wind came, he stopped in place and looked at the royal city. At this moment, the royal city was completely surrounded. The wind blew up sand and leaves, densely packed, making it impossible to see what was happening inside.
"Xu Yuehuai, what exactly are you trying to do!" As the atmosphere around them grew tense, Bei Wei finally started to get anxious.
Xu Yuehuai didn't give her a chance to continue speaking.
A huge sphere of light gathered in front of her, enveloping her entire body. With the power of her newly crafted weapon, she pushed it forcefully, and the sphere of light quickly dispersed, rushing towards the city walls like fireflies.
Bei Wei frowned, completely ignoring the specks of light.
But the next second, the alien who first came into contact with the light spot vanished right before her eyes.
Bei Wei's hand trembled, her eyes filled with shock and confusion. She channeled her inner power to block the approaching orbs of light. However, to her surprise, the orbs became even brighter and larger upon contact with her inner power.
This force was unstoppable and irresistible.
Xu Yuehuai closed her eyes and fell from the sky.
At that moment, Qi Guze rushed out and caught her as she fell.
Tears fell freely, as if they were worthless.
He understood why Xu Yuehuai had glanced at him one last time.
Xu Yuehuai obtained all the energy within the gemstone; he had already been discovered long ago.
As she continued to absorb the power of the alien race, she also clearly understood how to destroy these aliens.
It was obvious that in the great battle, a general would inevitably sacrifice himself. Xu Yuehuai had read countless stories of his predecessors and had long ago engraved the idea of ​​protecting the people and putting the greater good before personal interests into his very bones. This was something that he could not change even after being in this place for so long.
"Don't go! I'll give you my power, I'll give you all of my power!" Qi Guze poured power into Xu Yuehuai's body continuously, as if this would wake her up.
But no miracle happened. Xu Yuehuai's hand touched his face. "After all this time, you've finally shown up. Why didn't you see me? Why..."
This question seemed to become Xu Yuehuai's obsession before his death.
Qi Guze was under constant surveillance and unable to leave. The best solution he could think of was to secretly follow her, protect her safety, and provide assistance when she needed it.
To convince the people behind the scenes that they had completely severed ties, he even crossed out the token he had personally given to Xu Yuehuai from the list.
He's worked so hard for so long, and finally, the people behind him are willing to believe in him.
He had finally managed to find the time to stay by Xu Yuehuai's side all day, and he knew he would be discovered sooner or later, and he had even imagined many possible outcomes.
For example, Xu Yuehuai mistook him for a bad guy, grabbed him, and injured him before realizing it was him. Then she started to feel sorry for him and take care of him, as if they had returned to the way they used to be.
For example, when Xu Yuehuai was injured, he stepped forward, acting as a chivalrous hero, to save her.
...
Of all the possible outcomes, there was none where Xu Yuehuai died in front of him.
He and Xu Yuehuai had such a good understanding, they could know what the other wanted with just a glance, so why didn't he notice this time?
Qi Guze knelt on the ground, holding Xu Yuehuai's corpse in his arms.
His vision was blurred, and he could no longer see anything clearly. He thought, if only he had appeared when Xu Yuehuai was looking at him, and fought alongside Xu Yuehuai.
Xu Yuehuai, would it be better not to use such extreme methods?

It's blinding...
A woman lay by the stream, as if disturbed from her sleep by the sunlight filtering through the leaves, and she stretched out a hand to cover her eyes.
Water droplets still clung to her slender, fair fingers.
After a while, the woman stirred, her consciousness returning, and as if aware of her situation, she opened her eyes.
It feels so good to have the sun shining on me.
The woman was soaked to the bone. She stood up, observed her surroundings, and looked at her own clothes, her face full of confusion.
Has she time-traveled again?
A child carrying a water bottle skipped and hopped over from a distance. Upon seeing the woman in white, he immediately shouted to the people behind him, "She's here!"
