The night is deep. The moon is hazy.

A crescent moon in the Western Heaven, tinged with yellow and red, resembles a blood moon. It casts its light on Dragon City, rendering the city a blood-red hue.

At midnight, the wind suddenly rises, and two hundred thousand soldiers charge forth from the military camp to the northwest of Dragon City. Stirring up a fierce wind, these two hundred thousand soldiers take to the skies in formation, flying towards Dragon City in an orderly manner.

The spectacle of two hundred thousand troops ascending into the sky, densely packed and blotting out the moon, is immensely grand. Yet at this moment, everyone is sound asleep, and no one notices this rare sight.

This army of two hundred thousand has cultivation bases that vary; the weakest are in the True Immortal Realm, and the strongest have reached the Peak Immortal Venerable, with the average strength being Half-Step Immortal Sovereign.

Although these soldiers do not possess high cultivation strength individually, their advantage lies in their numbers. This vast army moving towards Dragon City gives an overwhelming sense of suffocation.

In the blink of an eye, the army is at the gates of the city.

The two hundred thousand troops have arrived at Dragon City.

These soldiers originally belonged to the Yellow Dragon Empire, but now they are attacking Dragon City.

Clearly, these troops are rebelling.

As the rebel army flew over the city moat of Dragon City, the Water Talismans in the moat were activated.

Thousands of Water Talismans lit up, illuminating the city moat for miles, as if it were adorned with thousands of lights, competing with the sun and moon in brilliance. From afar, it resembles the Milky Way descending to earth, incredibly magnificent.

Then...

Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh...

The air was filled with the continuous sound of shooting. Jets of water, shaped like spears, shot out from the water. These water spears appeared like ordinary spearheads but were thousands of times more powerful,

The water spears were covered with talismans, and faint chanting could be heard, exuding a mysterious and intimidating aura.

Then...

Thud thud thud thud thud thud thud thud thud thud thud thud thud thud...

The water spears pierced through the bodies of the soldiers, who became like porcupines bristling with water spears, spitting blood and falling into the city moat.

A dense roar rose like a tide, deafening, and hundreds of bodies were forcibly dragged into the river, which churned and surged with great plumes of blood.

In the blink of an eye, hundreds of living soldiers, in the True Immortal Realm, were killed this way!

Death and casualties did not stop the army. Forcing their way across the city moat, the soldiers flew towards the city, and as they passed over the city walls, Earth Talismans on the walls lit up, as if a thousand lamps had been lit on the walls,

Then came the whooshing sound, dense as reeds, as jets of earth shot out from the water. These earth spears looked identical to ordinary spearheads, but because they carried Earth Talismans, they were thousands of times more powerful. The earth spears were covered with talismans, and faint chanting could be heard, exuding a mysterious and intimidating aura.

Then...

Thud thud thud thud thud thud thud thud thud thud thud thud thud thud...

The earth spears pierced through the bodies of the soldiers, who became like porcupines bristling with water spears, falling down amid screams, splattering blood, like a rain of blood falling.

After the dual interception by the city moat and city walls, over nineteen thousand of the two hundred thousand soldiers were killed or injured. The remaining eighteen thousand or so rebels managed to breach the city walls, flying towards the city—more precisely, towards the Imperial Palace.

In the blink of an eye, this army of eighteen thousand flew over Dragon City Plaza, arriving above the Imperial Palace, spreading out and surrounding it, densely packed like clouds, an alarming sight. It gives a sense of black clouds pressing down on a city about to crumble.

The seventeen thousand troops under Wang Xiaoqiang stationed at Dragon City Plaza looked up to the sky upon seeing this. They were shocked beyond words when they saw the immense imperial army surrounding the palace.

At the forefront of the rebel army was Prince Ann.

Behind Prince Ann were three strong practitioners at the Half-Step Immortal King level, along with over twenty experts at the Immortal Sage Level.

The moment the rebels surrounded the palace, the Yellow Dragon Divine Beast above the Yellow Dragon Hall awoke from slumber, raising its head to gaze at the densely packed soldiers in the sky and let out a roar.

This roar shook heaven and earth.

It reverberated through the entire Imperial Palace with a buzzing sound.

This roar was a warning.

Instantly, all the lights in the Imperial Palace lit up together.

After the Yellow Dragon finished roaring, it lay back on the Yellow Dragon Hall and fell into a deep sleep again, turning instantly back into a statue.

Clearly, the Yellow Dragon did not regard Prince Ann and his rebels as a threat.

While the Yellow Dragon remained still, the people within the palace were in a state of chaos.

The Imperial Guards within the palace took to the sky from all directions, arranging themselves in the sky with precision and calm, displaying an aura of well-disciplined training.

They eventually formed a group of three thousand, but these three thousand Imperial Guards were carefully selected, each at the Immortal Venerable Stage, and all possessing a Fivefold Body of the Immortal Venerable, with some even reaching the Half-Step Immortal Saint Stage.

They were responsible for defending the safety of the palace.

Now that the palace's safety was threatened, they naturally stood out first to defend it.

Following that was Huang Ce, with dozens of personal guards behind him, one being the imperial chief steward at the Immortal King Stage, and the rest all at the Immortal Sage Stage.

Huang Ce ascended into the sky, his Divine Sense sweeping over the scene. Seeing Prince Ann bringing forces to rebel, he showed little surprise, pointing to Ann Guochu in the distance with a slight hint of anger in his voice, "Ann Guochu, gathering heavy troops to surround the palace in the dead of night, what do you intend?"

"What am I doing? Hmph, my good emperor, everyone praises you as wise, but how can you be so muddleheaded now? Can't you see? I am rebelling against you!" "Rebelling against me? Hmph, not much skill, but quite the courage to rebel against me as a mere Immortal King?"

Huang Ce sneered, his Divine Sense sweeping again, noticing something strange about Ann Guochu in front of him. With a flip of his hand, a Bronze Realm mirror appeared in his palm, and with it, he directed a bright yellow light towards Ann Guochu in the distance encased in confrontation,

Ann Guochu shielded his eyes with his hand, shouting angrily, "Huang Ce, as a King of the Empire, you have been incompetent during your reign, also foolish, corrupt, and shameless. All the feudal lords have long been dissatisfied with you, and the people are filled with resentment. Tonight, I rise up, complying with the will of heaven, you'd better surrender, and I will spare you from death..."

As the mirror in Huang Ce's hand shone on Ann Guochu, the mirror reflected a shadow of Ann Guochu, not a physical form.

"Hmph, no wonder, Ann Guochu, such a cautious person, why would he come personally?" Huang Ce sneered, looking towards Ann Guochu in the distance, with a playful smile on his face, "You dare to criticize me with just a mere Avatar, aren't you afraid of death?"

Seeing Huang Ce recognize his identity, Prince Ann's Avatar waved his hand and shouted, "Whoever kills Huang Ce, I will bestow them a kingdom and appoint them Prime Minister, rewarding ten thousand Superior Pills!"
