134. Signing the Treaty of Yecheng

Charge!

A new round of the defense of the city commenced. Yuan Shao dispatched twenty thousand soldiers to assault the southern wall, deploying over a dozen catapults that battered the ramparts with massive stones amidst a thunderous roar, creating a tremendous commotion.

However, the walls of Yecheng were exceptionally sturdy, and even after a long bombardment, the Yuan army's catapults failed to breach a single gap.

"Miaocai, Gongming, I intend to lead a cavalry sortie to charge out, dismantle the Yuan army's catapults, and boost our morale. What do you think?"

Cao Xin gazed at the Yuan soldiers beneath the watchtower...

"Rest assured, General Su. With your capabilities, you will surely earn the profound trust of my father. Today, he indeed has crucial matters to discuss with my eldest brother." Li Shimin noticed a hint of displeasure in Su Lie's demeanor.

"In that case, you believe that following the Prince of Qin is the wisest course of action." Huang Shanpo did not directly answer his question.

Liu Bin shook his head with a wry smile, wondering what on earth could have happened to make the usually composed Zhang Peng so anxious. He grabbed his car keys, left Blue Demon Technology, and drove toward Jinshan City.

Outside Jinming City, military camps stretched for miles, banners fluttered in the wind, and the neighing of horses echoed incessantly. Within the city streets, troops marched back and forth, commands rang out clearly, and their synchronized footsteps resounded with power.

"No, it can't be. I just had a nightmare. Dad was still talking to me this morning, saying that once his illness was cured, he would take me to see the sea. You're lying, I don't believe it, I want to see my dad!" Dong Li said with an agitated expression.

The influx of outsiders placed pressure on the locals, yet they knew these visitors were here to attend the performances. As the hosts, they felt compelled to present themselves with the appropriate grace.

Upon hearing Wang Wei's words, Supreme Elder Sun was deeply moved. Knowing there was hope for his son to be awakened, he could not bear to wait even a single second longer.

Ning Yue did not understand what ghost bones were, but judging by the expressions of the Great Elder and Zhang Ye, he knew they must be treasures. He pondered slightly in his heart, then quietly watched the two fight, having already made up his mind.

Ling Jian delivered a single slash. Ah Jiu's body rippled, transforming into a wisp of gray mist, narrowly evading the fatal blow, though the sword still grazed his arm.

Yet Vic was no weakling; he was a supernova pirate with a bounty exceeding one hundred million Berries. Beyond its astonishing sharpness, his claw attack also carried a formidable shockwave.

"Damn it!" the man in black cursed through gritted teeth, hastily taking off in pursuit, when suddenly someone emerged from the side to block his path. The man in black looked back, only to see another man in black dressed identically to himself.

Bao Tian could not help but smile. Naturally, he had long known that Yu Deshu and Ma Qianli were on the ship. Feigning ignorance, upon reaching the shore, he had deliberately chosen this conspicuous spot to pitch his tent, simply waiting for Yu Deshu and Ma Qianli to seek him out themselves.

Shu Han smiled faintly. "I'm hanging up now." With that, she ended the call and slipped her mobile phone back into her pocket.

Ye Minghan stepped out of the room, only to catch sight of Si Hanyu gazing at him from outside the door, a sudden surge of anger rising in his heart.

Beyond these individuals, there were even appearances from Wan Liqing, Tang Baichuan, Guo Delong, and Shu Qingtian. It turned out that among the other renegade Daoist factions were practitioners from the Ghost-Driving Sect, the Tang Clan, the Holy Ring Cult, and the Shadow Path.

Xixi finally seized the opportunity to enter the palace and saw her father with her own eyes, his health seemingly unimpaired, though his expression carried a desolate and solitary air. Afterward, on her way to visit the bedridden empress, she was intercepted by the Third Princess, Chunyi, who escorted her straight out of the palace.

Bao Tian believed that what this Skeleton Queen said might not be untruthful; she truly was Queen Baihuaxi, the wife of Emperor Murong. Yet he could not fathom how she had died here, how she managed to control those flower spirits, and how she could animate skeletons to create illusions... It was all simply too mind-boggling.

At that moment, the Wuji King struck out with a palm. His palm radiance radiated a unique pressure, one that caused the gazes of the Yin-Yang Two-Headed Wolf and the Eight-Tailed Demon Fox to instantly constrict.

Yet Diluc was clearly still pondering that question, and so engrossed in her thoughts that she failed to notice her gesture.
