The world has yin and yang, extreme yang is pure yang, extreme yin is pure yin, and hands stained with malevolent spirits are yin sha.
Pure yang restrains yin sha. The Eastern Sun Imperial Advisor's strength was not weak, but when he encountered someone like Chen Jiuyang, who possessed pure yang, it was like meeting his natural nemesis.
Chen Jiuyang said, "A dead man doesn't need to know who I am."
As his voice fell, he directly used his powerful divine soul to control the Eastern Sun Imperial Advisor.
The Eastern Sun Imperial Advisor's eyes immediately became vacant.
For Chen Jiuyang's soul control to work, the target's soul power had to be much weaker than his. This Eastern Sun Imperial Advisor was at the Earth realm cultivation, but he was yin sha, while Chen Jiuyang was pure yang, a natural counter.
Chen Jiuyang asked, "What is your Eastern Sun nation's plan in Suhang?"
The Eastern Sun Imperial Advisor replied, "To secretly control Suhang and plan for it to become territory of our Eastern Sun nation."
As expected, Chen Jiuyang asked again, "How will the plan be executed?"
The Eastern Sun Imperial Advisor replied, "Thirty years ago, we invited the Prefect of Suhang to visit the Eastern Sun nation and controlled him. Then, we had our people impersonate the Prefect of Suhang, gradually weakening the Six Gates' power, and then marrying our Eastern Sun women to officials of Suhang to bear our Eastern Sun offspring."
"Inciting infighting within Suhang's martial arts world, letting our people take control, massacring foreign populations and turning them into malevolent spirits, thus silently fracturing the Dragon Country's destiny. In this way, Suhang can be completely and secretly controlled by our Eastern Sun nation."
Chen Jiuyang nodded slowly. It was basically consistent with his guesses and deductions. Fortunately, he had mobilized the Tianqi Legion, along with the Shu Mountain sect and the Han family. Otherwise, if only one faction was controlled, other forces would have rioted, causing great disaster in Suhang.
Chen Jiuyang asked the Eastern Sun Imperial Advisor with icy eyes, "Who massacred tens of thousands of people and buried their bodies beneath our Dragon Country's martyrs' tombstones?"
The Eastern Sun Imperial Advisor replied with a vacant stare, "All the plans were orchestrated by the Princess."
The mastermind behind the entire affair was this Eastern Sun Princess.
"A fine Eastern Sun Princess! If I, Chen Jiuyang, as a soldier of the Dragon Country, do not slay you, how can I face the souls of our Dragon Country's millions of martyrs!" Chen Jiuyang's eyes blazed with killing intent.
The souls of martyrs who sacrificed for the Dragon Country must not be insulted!
His words carried a chilling killing intent, "Where is the Eastern Sun Princess!"
The Eastern Sun Imperial Advisor replied, "The plan was discovered. The Princess has hitched a ride with a prominent figure in the Dragon Country and is escaping the Dragon Country through that influential person's channels. Fifteen minutes ago, she boarded a ship and left Suhang port, heading towards the Eastern Sun nation."
Chen Jiuyang's brow furrowed, and he raised his Yan Sheng Saber.
"Crack—"
The Eastern Sun Imperial Advisor's body was severed, his head falling to the ground, his eyes wide open in death.
Chen Jiuyang looked at the team members and asked, "Can you still move? Come with me to kill the Eastern Sun Princess!"
"Yes!" Number One gritted his teeth, "Fortunately, I have the cultivation method you gave me, Zero. Otherwise, that blow just now would have been fatal!"
"Very good," Chen Jiuyang nodded and said slowly, "Currently, only we in Suhang can spare the strength to kill this mastermind."
All factions in Suhang needed to be suppressed and purged, making it impossible to spare more manpower to pursue and kill this Eastern Sun Princess.
At the same time, Chen Jiuyang's heart sank. Suhang had a meticulously laid trap, and the navy had sealed the borders. Who had such audacity and influence to allow this Eastern Sun Princess to escape?
...
On the other side.
At sea.
A luxurious yacht was heading towards the Eastern Sun nation with two women on board.
At the yacht's speed, it would take at least until the next morning to reach the Eastern Sun nation.
A young woman with an elegant and noble demeanor wore oversized sunglasses, making it impossible to discern her expression.
However, Madam Ning, beside the young woman, had a pale face and was visibly uneasy. She spoke, "Your Highness Princess, why was your plan discovered overnight?"
Madam Ning spoke this way to clear her own suspicion in front of the Eastern Sun Princess and prevent the Princess from punishing her.
"Crack!"
Upon hearing this, the Eastern Sun Princess's aura suddenly leaked out slightly, shattering the sunglasses on her face. She had schemed in Suhang for thirty years, and her actual age was much greater than she appeared. She mastered Eastern Sun ninja secret arts, allowing her to alter her appearance at will.
How could the Eastern Sun Princess not be enraged when her thirty years of hard work and planning were ruined in a single night?
However, being within the Dragon Country, she had no time to throw a tantrum. Escaping the Dragon Country and returning to the Eastern Sun nation to save her life was the most important thing.
As long as her life remained, she could rise again!
This time, if it weren't for Chen Jiuyang having an enmity with that prominent figure of the Dragon Country, she wouldn't have been able to leave the Dragon Country so calmly on a yacht.
That influential person wanted to use her to kill Chen Jiuyang, a truly cunning scheme.
And if it weren't for this influential person, she wouldn't have known that her thirty-year plan had been completely disrupted by Chen Jiuyang. It was laughable that she had previously wanted to win over Chen Jiuyang, or even coerce him, to force him to hand over a large quantity of pure yang qi-replenishing pills.
Even if she was being used, she was determined to eliminate Chen Jiuyang!
What baffled her was why the family retainer who had served their Eastern Sun royal family for hundreds of years had betrayed her and leaked her plan's information!
A series of questions arose in her mind.
"Rumble!"
At this moment, a helicopter flew overhead the yacht. The Eastern Sun Princess's heart tightened. Had the pursuers caught up?
Even if it were pursuers, she was not afraid. With the plan exposed, she had immediately contacted numerous experts from within the Eastern Sun nation to pick her up. As long as she could hold on for a while, her reinforcements would arrive.
But then she thought again. She was using the channels of that prominent Dragon Country figure, and her passage had been smooth all the way. She shouldn't be someone coming to arrest her.
A cold voice suddenly rang out, "The two of you have made me search quite hard."
"Boom!"
A figure jumped from the helicopter and landed on the yacht's deck.
This person was dressed in magnificent robes, holding a saber in hand. The robes were stained with blood. His features were handsome and sinister, and a faint golden light flowed in his starry eyes.
Chen Jiuyang had chased from dusk until midnight and finally caught up with the Eastern Sun Princess.
This Eastern Sun Princess, through whose channels she had passed, had somehow bypassed the naval blockade, causing him to chase her for so long.
"Chen Jiuyang!" Upon seeing Chen Jiuyang, the Eastern Sun Princess could no longer conceal the killing intent that had been suppressed in her heart for so long. She sneered, "I originally intended to make a comeback and then kill you, but you've delivered yourself to my doorstep. It's like wishing for a pillow when you're sleepy!"
"Heh," Chen Jiuyang looked at the Eastern Sun Princess and said coldly,
"To think that the dignified Eastern Sun Princess, Fujimoto Sakurai, could infiltrate my Suhang for decades without anyone noticing. You truly have remarkable skills. If I don't kill you today, I, Chen Jiuyang, will not be able to sleep peacefully in the future."
Seeing Chen Jiuyang, Madam Ning's face turned deathly pale, "How did you catch up!"
The prominent figure Fujimoto Sakurai had contacted could never have betrayed their whereabouts to Chen Jiuyang again; there was no need for such a redundant action.
Chen Jiuyang slowly drew his Yan Sheng Saber, his voice icy, "Those who are about to die don't need to know so much."
