"Booming..."
Countless Iron Cavalry charged out from the open city gates, the last elite force defending the capital of Yan Kingdom.
In front of the Cavalry unit, a Deputy General waved his Blade above his head, shouting loudly, "Kill! Whoever brings me Ye Yang's head will receive a reward of ten thousand and be granted the title of Marquis!"
"Do you think you can kill me?"
Ye Yang dismounted and stepped down to the city gate, facing a group of Iron Cavalry. He couldn't help but laugh, "You think you can kill me with this kind of trash? Fine, let's play!"
As he spoke, flames enveloped his legs with Fire God Power. He took a deep breath, the power of Starry Sky Seventh Level circulating within him. With a fierce stomp of his left foot on the ground, he shouted, "Go to hell!"
Countless Fire God Fragment True Qi surged into the ground, infused with Divine Power from Starry Sky Seventh Level. Instantly, the True Qi tore through the earth's veins, causing a series of fissures and collapses.
"Boom boom boom!"
Twisted ravines appeared on the surface as countless soil fragments shattered and geothermal heat surged forth. Under Ye Yang's power, even some fiery magma from below erupted. A dozen Cavalrymen were caught off guard and fell into this endless abyss with horrified screams.
All of this was merely due to Ye Yang's casual stomp!
...
The fissures spread all the way to the base of the city wall. With a thunderous crash, a section of the wall about a hundred meters long collapsed, burying numerous archers beneath the rubble. Ye Yang controlled his power very well; it was only meant to intimidate the enemy without causing true destruction. Otherwise, half of Lower Capital would have been doomed. The strength of a Starry Sky Seventh Level expert is far beyond what ordinary humans can imagine!
Ye Yang pointed at the city above and shouted, "King Yan, if you do not surrender and offer up your city immediately, I will spare your life for Yan Yao's sake and grant you wealth and honor. But if you continue to be stubborn, do not blame me for marching into Lower Capital to seize your throne, slaughtering all your concubines and binding you to the city gate for execution by a hundred cuts!"
"Uh..."
Yan Yao trembled all over, the image of being cut into eighty-one pieces flashing in his mind. Unable to help himself, he shivered and said, "Ye Yang, is what you said true? If I surrender the city, will you grant me wealth and let me enjoy peace in Lower Capital?"
Ye Yang chuckled lightly, "Of course. You are Yan Yao's father, and I regard Yan Yao as my sister. I would never kill you. However, you attempted to seize my Yanmen County; I will remember this debt. Surrender the city now. If you do not submit within an hour, I will turn Lower Capital into dust!"
King Yan twitched again. A military general beside him raised his sword and said, "Sire, there is no need to listen to his deceitful words. We must fight to protect the territory of the Yan Kingdom! Hmph! My Great Yan has stood for hundreds of years; how can it be destroyed so easily? A mere Ye Yang cannot possibly have such extraordinary abilities. Even if he is a Starry Sky Expert, can he really kill tens of thousands of our soldiers alone?"
King Yan's face showed anger: "Are you saying that you can defeat him?"
"I cannot!"
"Then are you not putting my life at risk?!"
"I deserve to die!"
King Yan waved his sleeve and said in a low voice, "No need for more words. Bring me the imperial seal, the insignia, and the Axe. Everyone follow me out of the city to surrender. Ye Yang's strength is beyond comprehension; we simply cannot match him!"
The crowd was astonished but said nothing. After all, King Yan was right; no one could contend with a Starry Sky Seventh Level expert, which meant defeat was inevitable today.
...
With the sound of iron chains moving, the iron gate opened. King Yan led a group of civil and military officials, holding the insignia and Axe, kneeling on the ground, trembling all over.
"Hey..."
Wang Lie suddenly laughed and whispered, "So the legends are true. Starry Sky Seventh Level experts are indeed transcendent beings who do not concern themselves with worldly affairs. Not only do they possess overwhelming strength when they choose to intervene in worldly matters, but they can also stand proudly as lords over thousands of miles. So it really is like this; this time, they have taken the city without shedding a drop of blood..."
Ye Yang smiled, turned around, and reached out to grab Yan Yao's hand, leading her to stand before King Yan. Calmly, he said, "Yan Yao, accept the Seal of Axe. From now on, you are the ruler of the Yan Kingdom!"
"What?!"
King Yan suddenly looked up in shock and exclaimed, "Ye Yang, how can you allow a weak woman to become the ruler of the Yan Kingdom? This... this goes against our ancestors' teachings!"
Ye Yang glared at him. "Stop with the nonsense. From now on, Yan Yao will command the military power of the Yan Kingdom. You must immediately summon the regional commanders of the Yan Kingdom to present their military tokens and let them meet Yan Yao. From now on, she will still be known as 'Hengshan County Princess,' but she will oversee all military affairs in the Yan Kingdom!"
King Yan nodded. "Understood!"
"Then go do it immediately..."
"Yes, yes..."
King Yan complied obediently and quickly ordered a dozen Sky Riders from the royal capital to leave the city and gather the regional commanders of the Yan Kingdom.
Then, Ye Yang picked up the Seal of Axe and handed it to Yan Yao. He turned to Wang Lie and said, "With the military tokens in hand, send people to take control of each city in the Yan Kingdom. If there is any resistance, immediately show them Yan Yao's decree. Anyone who dares to defy it will face our army's wrath!"
"Yes, my lord!" Wang Lie replied with a wide grin.
...
After receiving the Seal and the royal sword, Yan Yao took her place in Lower Capital as the esteemed ruler of Yan territory. Meanwhile, Ye Yang stationed his army outside the city and naturally took measures to ensure peace among the people.
Three days later, more than twenty regional commanders from Yan gathered in the capital. Under Ye Yang's pressure, King Yan personally presided over the grand hall and transferred the throne to his daughter. Although he was reluctant, it was certainly better than facing execution by a hundred blows.
Ye Yang renamed a palace behind the royal palace to "Leisure Palace," where King Yan resided, guarded by a thousand elite troops commanded by a Dragon Armored Warrior. He left three Dragon Armored Warriors who had entered the Stellar Realm in Lower Capital to assist Yan Yao, while Ye Yang withdrew his forces back to Yanmen County. The situation in Yan had stabilized, and the main threats now came from the Chu Army and Han Army in Xianyang.
At the same time, Ye Yang did not forget his promise to the Dragon Domain, ordering Lower Capital to send one thousand heads of Beef and Lamb to Snow Domain each month, which also saved Ye Yang some trouble.
Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.
"Report!"
A rider arrived at Yanmen County, delivering a message directly to Ye Yang.
"Is it from Xianyang?"
Upon opening the seal, he found a piece of Golden Silk Cloth with a clear invitation for Eastern General Ye Yang to go to Xianyang. In two days, Xiang Yu would host a banquet at Hongmen to discuss heroes over wine and celebrate the overthrow of Tyrant Qin's rule.
"My lord, this... this banquet is not a good one!" Wang Lie said with a frown.
Ye Yang took a deep breath: "What luck that I would stumble upon the Hongmen Banquet!"
