135: Chapter 135 It seems that the life of the Crown Prince of Yankang cannot be spared.

Ye Xiu held the blood-soaked Qiu Dieyi in his arms. The brutality in his heterochromatic gold and silver eyes did not subside because of the slaughter.

Instead, it was like a raging fire doused with hot oil, burning brighter and brighter.

"Husband… The Crown Prince said… he wanted to capture me and force you to submit…"

Qiu Dieyi leaned on Ye Xiu's shoulder, her voice weak but filled with bone-chilling hatred.

"He also said… he wanted to send me to the military camp and let the whole world know… that you, Ye Xiu's woman, are nothing more than an ant under the feet of the Yankang royal family that can be trampled at will…"

Ye Xiu did not speak.

He just gently patted Qiu Dieyi's back, his Taiyi Vitality nourishing her broken body like spring water.

But his silence was more terrifying than any roar.

Because inside his body, the Sea of Consciousness of the Sendai Second Heaven was currently surging with black waves capable of swallowing the heavens and the earth.

That was not Sword Qi.

That was killing intent.

A pure, primitive killing intent that even gods and Buddhas could not suppress.

"Don't be afraid."

After a long while, Ye Xiu finally spoke, his voice so soft it was as if he were coaxing a child to sleep.

"Today, your husband will get this grievance back for you, with interest."

He let go of Qiu Dieyi and stood up.

"Husband…"

Qiu Dieyi grabbed his sleeve, her beautiful eyes filled with worry.

"Yankang Kingdom… is Yankang Kingdom after all. Behind the Crown Prince is Lao Yilai, and also…"

"Lao Yilai?"

Ye Xiu looked down at her, a smile tugging at the corners of his mouth that made people's backs go cold.

"I crushed one before I came, I don't mind crushing another."

He raised his hand, forming a sword with his fingers, and made a casual slash toward the middle-aged man pinned to the cliff wall.

"Ah!"

With a shrill scream, the man's remaining cultivation was directly shattered by Ye Xiu's sword, along with the Meridians in his limbs, completely reduced to nothing.

"You… you crippled me… you actually crippled me…"

The middle-aged man's face was full of despair, his eyes unfocused.

"Crippled you?"

Ye Xiu glanced at him sideways, his heterochromatic gold and silver eyes devoid of any ripples. "Are you even worthy of me crippling you?"

He reached out and grabbed, and the man was sucked over through the air like a dead dog, falling heavily to the ground.

"I'll spare your dog life, go back and tell your Crown Prince."

Ye Xiu leaned down, saying word by word: "Just tell him that Ye Xiu said—I will come to take that head on his neck within three days."

"Get lost."

With a kick, the middle-aged man flew like a kite with a broken string, screaming as he disappeared into the vast night outside Luoxia Valley.

"Husband, do you really want to…"

Qiu Dieyi struggled to stand up and walked to Ye Xiu's side.

"Three days."

Ye Xiu looked up at the blood-red setting sun above Luoxia Valley, his voice so calm it didn't sound like he was talking about an earth-shattering event.

"After three days, Yankang Kingdom will no longer have a Crown Prince."

...

Canlao Village.

In the open space in front of the bamboo building, four stunning beauties sat together.

Si Youyou held the newly full-month True Dragon cub in her arms, the little guy sleeping soundly.

He was completely unaware of the bloody storm his father had just stirred up outside The Great Ruins.

"Sister Youyou, you just let him go alone?"

The Seventh Princess was so anxious that she couldn't sit still, her graceful and luxurious face full of worry.

"He can't be stopped."

Si Youyou gently patted the baby in her arms, her tone indifferent.

"You all know his temper. Whoever dares to touch his woman has poked a hole in the sky. Never mind that I can't stop him, even if the Heavenly King himself came, he couldn't stop him."

"But…"

Long Jiaonan gripped the Dragon spear in her hand, a flash of worry in her beautiful eyes.

"Although the Crown Prince is useless, he has the thousand-year national destiny of Yankang Kingdom protecting him, and old monsters like Lao Yilai sitting in command. Husband crushed one of those golden bodies, but there isn't just one powerhouse at Lao Yilai's level."

"That's why I said he can't be stopped."

Si Youyou looked up toward the direction outside The Great Ruins, a hint of helplessness appearing in her beautiful eyes that seemed to be able to see through all the falsehoods of the world.

"It's not because he won't listen to advice, but because… if it were any of you trapped in Luoxia Valley, he would make the same choice."

The four women fell silent.

They all understood.

That man, who usually laughed and cursed, seemed not to take anything to heart.

But as long as it involved his women, his children, or his loved ones.

He was a protective maniac without any reason.

"Instead of worrying here, we should think about how to help him clean up his mess."

Si Youyou suddenly changed the subject, a glint of wisdom flashing in her cold eyes.

"Doesn't the Crown Prince want to touch his woman? Then we will attack the Crown Prince's roots."

"What do you mean?" The Seventh Princess's eyes lit up.

"The reason the Yankang Kingdom Crown Prince dares to be so arrogant is merely because he has the royal family's protection behind him. He has the support of the civil and military officials, and the national destiny accumulated over a thousand years by Yankang Kingdom as an amulet."

Si Youyou said lightly, "Then we will make all of these become his death warrant."

She looked at the Seventh Princess: "Princess, although you are of royal Bloodline, the Crown Prince has never gone easy on you. Over these years, you should have collected quite a few of his secrets, right?"

The Seventh Princess was stunned, then revealed a meaningful smile: "Sister Youyou, you are really… too smart."

She took a Jade Slip from her sleeve and shook it gently:

"This records all his crimes over these years, including colluding with northern barbarians, privately trafficking military weapons, forcibly occupying civilian land, and forcing good women into prostitution—a full one hundred and thirty-eight counts. Each one is enough for him to die ten times over."

...

Just as these wives were discussing.

Yankang Kingdom, Eastern Palace.

The Crown Prince sat upright in the main hall, playing with a warm jade pendant in his hand, a smug smile hanging on the corner of his mouth.

"Report!"

A guard stumbled into the main hall, his face pale as paper, "Your Highness Crown Prince, it's bad! The three hundred death warriors sent to Luoxia Valley… the whole army was wiped out! Commander Wang… Commander Wang had his cultivation crippled, his Meridians in his limbs severed, and is now outside the hall asking to see you!"

"What?!"

The Crown Prince stood up abruptly, the jade pendant in his hand falling to the ground with a "snap" and breaking into two.

"Impossible! Wasn't Ye Xiu trapped in The Great Ruins? That ghost place, even Lao Yilai doesn't dare to easily set foot in it, how could he have received the message and rushed over so quickly?!"

"Your Highness… that Ye Xiu… that Ye Xiu… he didn't come out of The Great Ruins…"

The guard's voice was trembling.

"He… he flew out from the sky…"

"Flew out from the sky?"

The Crown Prince's face turned livid, he pushed the guard away and strode toward the outside of the hall.

Sure enough, on the square outside the hall, the middle-aged man crippled by Ye Xiu was lying on the ground, covered in blood, on the verge of death.

"What did Ye Xiu say?" The Crown Prince squatted down and asked through gritted teeth.

"He… he said…"

The middle-aged man struggled to open his eyes, his eyes full of fear.

"He said… Your Highness Crown Prince, that head on your neck… he will come to take it within three days…"

"Boom—!"

It was as if a thunderclap exploded in the Crown Prince's mind; he staggered back two steps, almost falling.

"He… did he really say that?"
