After the great battle, the Night Dynasty returned to its former peace and tranquility, but beneath the calm surface, undercurrents were still quietly surging.
In between handling military and political affairs, Xu Ruyu and Chen Xiao would also steal moments to appreciate the beautiful scenery of various places in Yechao, infusing their love for each other into every journey.
In a tranquil valley, they planted a sea of flowers symbolizing their love, promising to return together next year when the flowers were in full bloom.
Xu Ruyan and Princess Yuanyin became increasingly in sync in the court, working together to implement a series of policies that benefited the people, such as reducing taxes and encouraging agriculture and sericulture, which led to a better life for the people of Yechao.
However, they also noticed that some officials within the court were dissatisfied with these changes and were secretly plotting to obstruct the implementation of the new policies.
Feng Yichen and Su Yao's martial arts school became famous, attracting many young people to come and learn from them.
While teaching each other martial arts, the two secretly kept an eye on any developments in the martial arts world.
One day, a mysterious visitor arrived with news that a mysterious force was gathering in the distant Western Regions, seemingly intending to invade the east.
Meanwhile, mysterious disappearances frequently occur in the border towns of Yechao, causing widespread panic among the local people.
Xu Ruyu sent out elite scouts to investigate, only to discover that these disappearances were related to a strange creature never seen before. The creature moved mysteriously, could hide in the dark, and left a strange aura wherever it went.
Faced with internal and external troubles, Xu Ruyu, Chen Xiao, Xu Ruyan, Princess Yuanyin, Feng Yichen and Su Yao reunite.
The group sat together in a solemn atmosphere.
Xu Ruyu frowned and spoke first: "The situation is complicated now. The new policies are being blocked internally, and mysterious forces and strange creatures are eyeing us from the outside. We must come up with a solution as soon as possible."
Chen Xiao stroked his chin, pondered for a moment, and then said, "We will address the internal problems of the court first, appease the officials who oppose the new policies, and win their support."
Feng Yichen stood up, patted the sword at his waist, and said firmly, "I have extensive connections in the martial arts world. I'll go to the Western Regions to investigate the truth of that mysterious force. Su Yao, can you protect the martial arts school and take care of everyone?"
Su Yao nodded slightly, her eyes full of determination: "Go ahead, I will."
Once the decision was made, everyone quickly got to work.
Xu Ruyu then led his army to a border town, determined to uncover the secrets of the strange creatures and protect the border of the Night Dynasty.
Xu Ruyu rushed to the border town, only to find it eerily quiet. The usual bustle was gone, and the people had their doors and windows tightly shut, their faces etched with fear.
He led his soldiers to carefully investigate the scene, leaving no stone unturned.
Finally, in the corner of an abandoned house, some strange claw marks were found. The claw marks were irregularly shaped and had a faint glow around the edges, which seemed to indicate the strangeness of the creature.
Meanwhile, Chen Xiao and Xu Ruyan engaged in a heated debate in the imperial court with officials who opposed the new policies.
They cited numerous examples of how people's lives had improved since the implementation of the new policy, using facts to persuade some wavering officials.
However, some diehards secretly colluded and attempted to launch a small coup in order to stop the new government.
Upon learning the news, Chen Xiao's spies immediately reported to her. Chen Xiao and Xu Ruyan quickly devised a plan to eliminate all the officials before the coup could be launched, thus stabilizing the court situation.
Feng Yichen rode at breakneck speed to the Western Regions, where he used his connections in the martial arts world to meet a guide who was familiar with the local situation.
The guide told him that the mysterious power was controlled by an ancient tribe that possessed a long-lost magical art that could manipulate people's minds. They had gathered their power to find a legendary treasure, which was said to grant the power to rule the world.
Feng Yichen decided to delve deeper into the tribe to find out what was going on.
While teaching students at the martial arts school, Su Yao kept a close eye on the developments from all sides.
She noticed that several students at the martial arts school were behaving suspiciously, always sneaking out at night.
Su Yao secretly followed them and discovered that they had connections with a secret organization that also seemed to be eyeing the situation in Yechao and trying to profit from it.
In the border town, after a difficult tracking, Xu Ruyu finally found the nest of the strange creature.
When he led his soldiers inside, they found it riddled with traps and mechanisms.
In the fierce battle, the soldiers gradually figured out the monster's weaknesses and finally annihilated it. The people cheered and their hope for life was rekindled.
Feng Yichen infiltrated the tribe and finally met the tribal chief during a mysterious sacrificial ceremony.
The leader noticed Feng Yichen's arrival, and the two sides engaged in a thrilling contest.
With his superb martial arts skills and extraordinary wisdom, Feng Yichen cleverly defused the leader's witchcraft attack and successfully stole the map that recorded the whereabouts of the mysterious treasure.
Su Yao set a trap in the martial arts school and captured the suspicious students and members of the secret organization.
After interrogation, it was learned that the mastermind behind them was actually a powerful minister from a neighboring country who attempted to expand his territory by disrupting the internal affairs of the Night Dynasty.
Xu Ruyu, Feng Yichen, and Su Yao returned to the capital with their respective achievements, and everyone gathered together again.
As the crisis facing the Night Dynasty gradually becomes clear, they decide to take the initiative, first thwarting the conspiracy of a powerful minister in a neighboring country, and then uniting with other forces in the Western Regions to fight against the mysterious tribe. A new adventure is about to begin.
