Rumble!

Just as Su Yuwei used the Blood Coagulation Talisman to continue fighting desperately with the Deserters, a distant sound of hoofbeats echoed once again!

Though no one was visible yet, the earth trembled and roared, indicating that the approaching force was certainly no less than a thousand Great Snow Wolf Riders.

This was definitely not the momentum that could be achieved by reinforcements from other minor sects or families.

The City Lord's Mansion!

Upon hearing the heavy hoofbeats, everyone present, including Wang Junze, couldn't help but reveal a hint of surprise and delight in their eyes!

Reinforcements had arrived!

Jing Yuan had dispatched half of the Great Snow Wolf Riders to pursue Wang Junze and Su Yuwei. If Yuan Shouyi could seize this opportunity and swiftly deploy troops, there might indeed be a chance to defeat the Deserters and then turn to aid Su Yuwei.

This reinforcement arrived just in time!

Even without requiring much strength, just sending a thousand—no! Even a few hundred well-trained cavalry would be enough to easily clean up the aftermath and wipe out the Deserters here!

"Boom!"

Su Yuwei naturally heard the distant hoofbeats, yet her expression remained unchanged, as if she hadn't heard the sound at all!

The Divine Talisman in the air exploded once more!

In an instant, the remaining Great Snow Wolf Riders were suddenly bombarded by the Blood Talisman, erupting into a rain of blood. Simultaneously, Elder Li's torso was also shattered by the Divine Talisman. Although not dead, he was severely injured, almost losing the ability to fight.

But to complete this attack, Su Yuwei herself had turned into a bloody figure!

"Commandery Princess!"

This time, Wang Junze couldn't hold back anymore, rushing out and catching Su Yuwei as she collapsed.

Exhausted of True Qi, with even most of her Essence Blood lost, Su Yuwei appeared exceptionally haggard at this moment, her face pale as paper, struggling to even stand.

Like Elder Li, she was also alive but merely hanging by a thread, unable to attack again.

In this state, never mind being a Heaven-Stepping Powerhouse; even an ordinary person could likely kill Su Yuwei.

However, what was incomprehensible was that despite sensing reinforcements arriving, Su Yuwei only needed to delay, so why did she expend all her strength in desperation once more?

"Go!"

Leaning against Wang Junze, Su Yuwei tried to push him away but had no strength left, only able to urge him in a low voice once more.

Pupils suddenly contracted!

Upon hearing Su Yuwei's words again, Wang Junze suddenly realized.

Reinforcements indeed came, but they... may not be allies for Su Yuwei and him!

Within just moments, over a thousand cavalry had arrived, looking at the corpses of the surrounding Great Snow Wolf Riders yet showing no intention to dismount, instead coldly raising their swords!

The leading figure, clad in black armor, seemed vaguely familiar to Wang Junze, as if he had seen him in the City Lord's Mansion.

"Commander Chen, what do you mean by this?"

Among the crowd, someone recognized the identity of the Black Armor Commander and asked urgently.

"The Deserters are brutal, they murdered Princess Changlin. I, Chen, arrived a step late and can only avenge the Commandery Princess!"

Ignoring the other's words, the Black Armor Commander spoke grimly, wielding his sword with one hand.

Buzz!

With that sentence, everyone instantly became aware.

Silencing witnesses!

These cavalry dispatched by the City Lord's Mansion weren't here for rescue; they were here for cover-up, under the guise of Deserters, to kill Su Yuwei and pin it on them. Moreover... they could take credit for killing the thousand Great Snow Wolf Riders and the Deserters' Heaven-Stepping Powerhouse, becoming Yuan Shouyi's achievement!

At that moment, these people seemed to realize the ruthlessness of the City Lord!

"Stop!"

Eyes flashing with madness, Wang Junze shouted furiously: "Yuan Shouyi has some nerve! So many witnesses are watching, Princess Changlin is unharmed, how dare you kill to silence us?!"

"Princess Changlin is already dead!"

Without changing expression, the Black Armor Commander said indifferently: "Everyone present saw it, didn't they?"

"..."

That sentence instantly sent chills down everyone's spine, invoking a sinister feeling.

The other party was clearly lying with open eyes!

However, the meaning behind it was too obvious.

Whoever dares claim Su Yuwei isn't dead will be silenced!

Now, leading over a thousand cavalry, he held the power of life and death.

As for the implications of killing Su Yuwei... As long as she is dead and with a suitable excuse, an ironclad case can be built. Even if the Judgment Department sends investigators, they may not uncover anything.

The forces of the Judgment Department and the Court are strong, but in the end, they couldn't reach the Northern Domain.

"I testify, Princess Changlin is already dead!"

Amid the cavalry, a familiar figure emerged, speaking loudly.

"Wang Zhao!!!"

In an instant, Wang Junze recognized the person, his eyes virtually emitting fire.

Previously, Wang Xin noticed Wang Zhao had gone missing. Seeing him now made it clear—from the moment they arrived at the Wang Family, Wang Zhao had sneaked out unnoticed to inform and lead the City Lord's Mansion.

And this wasn't some spur-of-the-moment decision; it was clearly planned well in advance.

No wonder earlier Wang Cheng suggested everyone settle at the Wang Family; from that moment, they were prepared for the City Lord's Mansion to come.

Understanding all this, Wang Junze's eyes were almost tearing apart with rage.

Despite sensing something amiss earlier, he couldn't ultimately prevent it all.

It's truly foolish!

No, from the start at the Wang Family, Su Yuwei might have already predicted this outcome, urging Wang Junze to leave repeatedly.

In truth, if Su Yuwei wanted to leave, neither the Deserters nor these cavalry from the City Lord's Mansion could stop her.

But Su Yuwei knew clearly, if she left, the target for the Deserters and these cavalry from the City Lord's Mansion would become Wang Junze!

It's fair to say, Su Yuwei's reluctance to leave was to exchange her life for Wang Junze's life!

"Commandery Princess..."

Wang Junze bit his lip fiercely, his eyes full of anguish: "Why save me? You are the noble Princess Changlin, and I'm merely Condensing Truth. Why?!"

"Don't flatter yourself!"

With a glance, Su Yuwei sneered at Wang Junze: "I just refuse to flee the Northern Domain ashamedly. Who am I, Su Yuwei, to be scared away by Deserters!"

"Go! Leave here, find Luo Qingxuan, and join the Profound Moon Sword Sect. If you remember this kindness, wait until you become a true powerhouse, then avenge me."

Using her last bit of strength, pushing Wang Junze away, Su Yuwei stood proudly, gazing coldly: "Do it! In this world, there is only the slain Su Yuwei, there is no Princess Changlin who begs for mercy!"
