The moonlight is hazy and clear.

Inside Fengdu City, the commotion is unusual, not the liveliness of prosperity, but an unsettling disturbance.

Chu Yuxiao’s army has completely controlled everything here, and the entire city’s populace is surrounded, standing densely packed on all the streets.

The sounds of crying, cursing, begging are incessant, along with the soldiers’ fierce shouts.

The entire sky over Fengdu City is shrouded in a heavy aura of melancholy and death.

Su Yan arrived here, this is the scene she saw.

Occasionally, some citizens attempt to resist, but as soon as they move, they are mercilessly killed by the encircling soldiers, screams rise and fall, but are quickly suppressed by the mighty soldiers.

Su Yan covered her mouth, holding back the urge to vomit, and followed Guo Xing up the tower.

Someone had already run to report to Chu Yuxiao, so before Su Yan reached the top, she met Chu Yuxiao coming down.

Their eyes met, and from each other’s gaze, many things were mutually understood.

His eyes were cold, profound, and ruthless.

Su Yan knew that he truly intended to massacre the city, not just saying it.

Chu Yuxiao also understood, her visit in the dead of night was to persuade him...

Taking the cloak handed by a guard, he walked down and draped it over Su Yan, sighed softly:

"Not feeling well, why not rest in the barracks? Why come here?"

His gaze lightly swept over Guo Xing, who kept his head down, and he couldn’t help but snort coldly inside.

Su Yan grabbed his arm and asked, "Have you captured Cang Mo?"

"No."

Chu Yuxiao held Su Yan as they walked up the tower, answering her.

Turning to look at the long crowd, Su Yan thought for a moment and asked, "Do you plan to use the city’s populace to force Cang Mo out?"

"He won’t disregard his people."

"What if... he really doesn’t care? Do you plan to truly kill all the city’s populace?"

A hint of cruelty flashed in Chu Yuxiao’s eyes, and he spoke coldly, "If he disregards his people, why should I care!"

Looking at Su Yan, his gaze softened a bit.

"Don’t worry, I will definitely find the antidote."
