Seeing this, Ling Xue knew she could no longer hesitate. She used her unique lightness skill, like a swallow soaring through the air, and rushed into the battle. Her goal was clear: to take down the core mechanism of the Shadow Cult.
These mechanical experts control many deadly mechanisms in the valley; if they can be subdued, the battle will be greatly altered.
When the members of the Shadow Cult saw Ling Xue turn against them, they were all shocked and sent people to stop her, but they were all repelled by Ling Xue's fierce moves.
Chen Xiao and the others also realized Ling Xue's intentions, so they quickly adjusted their tactics and increased the pressure on the Shadow Cult to create a favorable opportunity for Ling Xue.
Ling Xue was engaged in a fierce battle with the Shadow Cult. Although her martial arts skills were superb, her opponents were numerous, powerful, and well-coordinated, making it difficult for her to defeat them for the time being.
Meanwhile, on Chen Xiao's side, the army was also showing signs of fatigue, and the number of casualties continued to rise.
At this critical moment, Ye Li arrived just in time with the solution to over a thousand mechanisms he had learned from studying dilapidated temples.
He immediately directed his soldiers to dismantle the Shadow Cult's mechanisms step by step using the method of deception, and soon the situation on the battlefield began to tilt in Chen Xiao's favor.
Ling Xue did her best to break through the Shadow Cult's defenses and successfully subdue them.
With the threat of losing control of the enemy's traps, Ye Yu led his elite troops in a final all-out offensive.
Seeing that the situation was hopeless, the Shadow Cult members scattered like birds and beasts, fleeing in all directions. However, Chen Xiao had already set up an ambush at the valley exit and captured most of the Shadow Cult members.
After helping Chen Xiao and the others achieve victory, Ling Xue left behind her last words: "I will never forget the kindness of the sect leader. This defection is entirely in my heart. I hope the sect leader will not lose his original intention."
He then committed suicide in front of the valley, falling among the corpses of the Shadow Cult members.
Seeing this, Chu Yanxi remained calm, while Chen Xiao took off his outer robe and covered Ling Xue with it before properly burying her there.
After this battle, the Shadow Cult's power in the Night Dynasty was severely damaged, and the martial world and the imperial court temporarily returned to peace.
Chen Xiao and Chu Yanxi began to reorganize the court, purge officials who were involved with the Shadow Cult, and strengthen the supervision of the martial arts world to prevent similar evil organizations from causing trouble again.
