Someone attempted to ambush him, but he didn’t even blink, nor did he glance over. With a casual swing of his long spear, he resolved the incoming threat.

Wherever he went, both the soldiers of Cangyue Country and the Great Nan Dynasty would automatically give way. He seemed to ride through an uninhabited land, casually and leisurely, as he slowly advanced.

His presence was so strong that with him overseeing, the soldiers of the Great Nan Dynasty reached the highest point of morale. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

However, the soldiers of Cangyue Country found their morale dramatically diminished because of him alone.

Standing on the ramparts, Cang Mo squinted at the scene below, his eyes flashing with a frightening glint of light.

During the conquests of Eastern Chu Country and Xiliang Country, Chu Yuxiao hadn’t taken charge; the Great Nan Dynasty was already formidable. Now that he’s personally leading the troops, it seems he intends to achieve a quick victory and unify the Six Kingdoms sooner.

He, too, is someone who leads in battle, and witnessing Chu Yuxiao’s momentum, he understands that Chu Yuxiao is a born ruler, and the unification of the Six Kingdoms is just around the corner.

Fortunately, he held something back; otherwise, Cangyue Country truly wouldn’t be able to preserve its integrity.

Meeting Chu Yuxiao’s black jade-like gaze, Cang Mo slightly curled his lips into a smile—that smile had a hint of mockery, provocation, and an air of inevitable triumph.

He gave a signal to the people around him, and soon, Su Yan was dragged out and appeared on the ramparts.

Her body was bound with ropes, with a knife held to her neck, yet her clothes remained clean and neat, not looking so bedraggled.

Upon seeing her, Chu Yuxiao’s pupils suddenly contracted, his gaze sharpened, and even the people battling nearby felt the chill emanating from him.

Observing this, the smile at the corners of Cang Mo’s mouth deepened.

Almost simultaneously, both raised a hand slowly, and all the soldiers engaged in battle halted, facing off against each other, making no movements.

Su Yan bit her lip secretly, staring at Chu Yuxiao without blinking. There was joy in her eyes, but also guilt...

She knew that Chu Yuxiao’s painstaking efforts would be in vain today because of her.

In truth, she really wanted to tell him not to worry about her; after all, she wouldn’t live much longer.

But she couldn’t say it, because understanding him, she was unable to voice it.

"Terms." After a long silence, Chu Yuxiao suddenly uttered two words.
