Chapter 269: The Heavenly General and Mystic Lady Crushed!

The Pure Yang Heavenly General and the Yin Yin Mystic Lady appeared, flanked by eighty-one Golden Strength Warriors, each radiating their own aura of pressure.

Sudden chaos erupted; everyone present was caught utterly off guard.

Even Yang Qianyuan was stunned—he had seen the eighty-one Golden Strength Warriors before, but never the Pure Yang Heavenly General or the Yin Yin Mystic Lady.

These two were the true Wangpai of the Eight Steeds Dragon Chariot.

“First, capture the armored sword-bearer.” Chu Danqing gave his first order.

The Pure Yang Heavenly General obeyed, slashing his heavy sword in a lightning strike that unleashed a furious golden light, engulfing every soldier and Night Demon before it.

Crouching, shield raised, he gripped his heavy sword and charged straight at the Taijiang Guard officer.

The ground cracked beneath the Pure Yang Heavenly General’s plain yet brutal charge, forming a dense web of fissures.

The lead Taijiang Guard officer’s pupils shrank—he felt a vast, majestic pressure crushing his heart, rendering him utterly immobile, even if he wished to counter.

Fortunately, the Golden-Winged Night Demon King could still move, forcing himself forward to shield his master.

But his strength was no match for the Pure Yang Heavenly General.

When the Golden-Winged Night Demon King stepped in front of the officer to block the Pure Yang Heavenly General, the latter did not slow at all.

The heavy shield slammed into the Night Demon King, who was instantly shattered into a spray of meat and gore by the overwhelming force and terrifying golden light.

Dead. The Golden-Winged Night Demon King offered no resistance, let alone two exchanges.

Then the Pure Yang Heavenly General reached out, seized the officer by the collar, yanked him off balance, and dragged him like a dead dog to Chu Danqing’s feet.

The entire sequence unfolded with terrifying speed—before anyone could react, the battle was already over.

Yang Qianyuan watched the officer, his head pinned down by the Pure Yang Heavenly General, writhing from the backlash of his slain spirit beast, and swallowed hard.

Because he and the Omen Spider belonged to the Heavenly Fate system, he had slightly better perception—he could glimpse a little, but not much.

“I suppose you wouldn’t want to see your superior die here,” Chu Danqing smiled sweetly, returning the words.

“Arrest them!” the captured officer roared through the pain of the backlash.

Prince Ning had shown him favor—he owed him his life in return.

He could die, but if he could deliver Sun Dashou and Li Wanwu to Prince Ning, the Daju would be settled.

As soon as he spoke, the Taijiang Guard hesitated no longer—they moved at once.

Those sent to capture Li Wanwu were Prince Ning’s trusted personal guards; their loyalty was unquestionable.

Seeing this, Chu Danqing felt helpless.

The Yin Yin Mystic Lady summoned lunar radiance, enveloping all enemies within the range of her spell strike.

The Pure Yang Heavenly General was pure melee; the Yin Yin Mystic Lady was pure ranged.

Both dealt physical and magical damage, carried a suite of passive buffs, and were further enhanced by their base/proficiency skills and Chu Danqing’s support—naturally, their power was immense.

Before any enemy could close in, they were obliterated by the wide-area spell strikes.

“Chu brother, who are these two…?” Yang Qianyuan asked quietly.

“Oh, reinforcements from outside. All allies,” Chu Danqing said seriously. “There are eight horses too, but they’re for pulling the chariot, so I didn’t bring them along.”

Yang Qianyuan stared at the Golden Strength Warriors led by the Pure Yang Heavenly General and Yin Yin Mystic Lady—their power far surpassed anything he’d seen before.

Hearing about the eight horses, Yang Qianyuan Yishi couldn’t make sense of the situation.

“You save Mei Long Town for me, and I’ll give you the remaining Jade Phoenix Pendant,” Sun Dashou said.

Chu Danqing, hearing this, was momentarily speechless: “Can’t you set your goal higher? Like, have me crush Prince Ning’s rebellion.”

He’d hoped to trigger some side quest.

“It’s not that I don’t believe you—it’s just impossible,” Sun Dashou replied. He’d thought of it too, but only if it could succeed.

Don’t waste time dreaming of unrealistic things.

“Alright, then it’s a deal,” Chu Danqing agreed immediately.

These two jade pendants were currently quest items.

If he chose to complete them immediately, he’d submit one to the Paradise and generate the original follow-up trial quest.

But if he chose to collect both fully, upon completion the quest would transform into an Excellent-grade equipment item.

It would alter the follow-up trial quest and increase its difficulty.

Chu Danqing glanced at it briefly—combat didn’t require his attention; the Pure Yang Heavenly General and Yin Yin Mystic Lady handled everything.

As for command, their Soulfulness of 29 granted them sufficient autonomy and wisdom—they had no need for Chu Danqing, an amateur, to direct them.

The Command skill tree did contain some command-related content, but little—it wasn’t their specialty; it focused more on identifying talent, assigning roles, and reducing large-unit consumption.

“Tell them to drop their weapons, put their hands on their heads, and surrender—no killing those who lay down arms,” Chu Danqing told the captured officer.

But the officer merely sneered, spitting a mouthful of blood at Chu Danqing: “Never.”

Chu Danqing sidestepped effortlessly, then said: “It’s over. Surrender, and more lives can be saved.”

He asked the officer to speak because he wanted to minimize casualties.

The officer’s loyalty stemmed from the benefits Prince Ning had given him.

But for the soldiers, this was merely being used as a tool of war by their superiors—especially since this war was an internal power struggle.

If it were a war to defend home and country, Chu Danqing might have said nothing.

The officer simply closed his eyes, as if to say: say what you will, kill or cut me as you please.

Seeing this, Chu Danqing sighed: “Quell it quickly.”

With those words, the Pure Yang Heavenly General and Yin Yin Mystic Lady dropped all restraint and unleashed full firepower.

The battle intensity surged; morale began to collapse when casualties reached roughly twenty percent.

Only when half the soldiers had died did a cry of “Surrender! Drop your weapons and live!” trigger a mass collapse of resistance.

The officer, witnessing this, nearly ground his teeth to dust.

“To repay the emperor’s favor on the golden platform, I’ll carry the jade dragon and die for him.”

“But do you think your actions are just?”

“Do you even know where these Night Demons came from?” Chu Danqing asked coldly.

Civil war was an internal dynastic matter, but Prince Ning treated commoners as grass. Sun Dashou, the An Yong Emperor, was indeed weak—but at least he hadn’t gone this far.

“One vial of Orchid Blood Dew costs a woman’s life—how many women have died for all these Night Demons?” Chu Danqing pressed.

“We used…” the officer immediately tried to justify himself.

But Chu Danqing cut him off: “Regardless of what you used, you’ve paid with innocent lives.”

As Chu Danqing finished speaking, Dabao’s claws tore through the officer’s throat.

Blood sprayed out; his eyes dimmed as he died.

A shimmering Excellent-grade treasure chest appeared.

The side quest was also completed.

【Quest Completed. You received: Paradise Points ×10000, Attribute Points +4】

Chu Danqing collected it, then looked at the remnants of the Taijiang Guard—scattered, barely five hundred left.

The Taijiang Guard were elite, totaling twelve hundred—now less than half remained.

Even these five hundred, though surrendered, had all lost their spirit beasts—the Night Demons—killed outright.

Night Demons cultivated and evolved through dark arts could never return to the righteous path.

Like a drug addict or gambler promising “I’ll never touch it again”—it was a lie.

So Chu Danqing had no choice but to eliminate them all, leaving the five hundred in a state of spiritual core backlash.

This is also a good thing—it saves us the effort of having to act further.

The chaos has temporarily subsided, but even greater troubles lie ahead.

The main concern is aftermath management, but fortunately, many in Meilong Town emerged to help once they sensed the situation had settled.

Especially the Yun Mansion next door, who arrived at once with their people to lend aid.

Yet they looked more like they were fleeing for their lives; likely their help was a pretense, and their real intent was to follow Yang Qianyuan, the Prince of Jiaoying, in escape.

Tang Ziwei had escorted the entire Yun Mansion party here; otherwise, with the Yun Mansion’s own strength, they would never have dared step out into such chaos.

Tang Ziwei gave them sufficient assurance, so they dared to take the gamble.

Clearly, they won the bet.

With the aid of the respected Yun Mansion of Meilong Town, the aftermath management proceeded in orderly fashion.

Anyone who tried to take advantage of the chaos was dealt with immediately.

Seeing this, Chu Danqing dispatched the eighty-one Golden Strength Warriors to assist, aiming to restore order as swiftly as possible.

The effect was clearly excellent, for many had witnessed the battle scenes of the Golden Strength Warriors and the Night Demon soldiers of the Taijiang Guard.

No one wished to test whether they would survive a single punch from a Golden Strength Warrior.

Chu Danqing, meanwhile, was pondering what to do next.

Meilong Town could no longer be stayed in—Prince Ning’s elite troops had been annihilated here, and Prince Ning would never let this pass.

He would likely come himself with a large army.

Then Chu Danqing would have to summon Guo Ming, for even a Pure Yang Heavenly General and a Taiyin Mystic Maiden would struggle against thirty or fifty thousand men.

Had he not cared for the civilians, Chu Danqing would not have fled at all—he would have simply killed Prince Ning, the scourge, and ended the threat once and for all.
