Hearing Mu Jinyu's scolding, the civil and military officials suddenly awoke as if from a dream!

Indeed, since Chu Huannian could return to the Chu Kingdom alive and massacred so many Chixing Clan Elders, it implied that Ancestor Chiji might truly be in trouble!

And seeing Chu Huannian easily slaughter these Chixing Clan Elders just now, it clearly showed that Chu Huannian had already mastered the means to restrain the red-furred talent of the Chixing Clan!

Thus, the downfall of the Chixing Clan was indeed inevitable!

Even if Ancestor Chiji wasn't dead and was merely trapped somewhere temporarily, with Chu Huannian massacring so many Chixing Clan Elders in the Chu Kingdom's Main Hall, there was no turning back for them now!

By the time Ancestor Chiji returns, they will certainly have no way to defend themselves and will surely die!

Rather than continue like this, they might as well team up to kill these Chixing Clan elders quickly!

"Kill!!"

At that moment, the expressions of these people turned to resentment, murderous aura erupting!

Earlier, they had been thoroughly disgusted by this series of tactics used by the Chixing Clan Elders, but only dared not resist due to Ancestor Chiji!

Now that they had no choice, it was the perfect time for revenge!

As they joined the fray, although their cultivation was mostly at the Fanxu Realm, the combined effort of many, along with the inability of the Chixing Clan Elders to utilize their talent bloodline divine skills, led to their complete suppression!

"Damn it!"

"How dare you?!"

"Once Ancestor Chiji returns, you will surely perish!"

"Damn, damn! The Ancestor will definitely come back for revenge! You wait to be buried with us!"

Shortly, the screaming ceased, leaving a hall filled with blood and filth, bodies strewn all over.

"Huff huff..."

Those who had personally killed or even flogged the corpses of the Chixing Clan Elders were gasping for breath, finding it hard to believe they had joined forces to slaughter these once-arrogant Chixing Clan members!

While they acted furiously earlier, they now felt a pang of fear after the passion faded!

If Ancestor Chiji wasn't dead, their own deaths would surely be gruesome.

So they turned to Chu Huannian and quickly asked, "General Chu, is Ancestor Chiji... really dead?"

They looked at Chu Huannian, their faces filled with worry, afraid that Chu Huannian would say it was merely a lie to confuse the enemy.

They couldn't bear that possibility.

Chu Huannian, looking at them coldly, replied, "Do I need to deceive you? Now you may begin ordering the eradication of the remaining Chixing Clan people!"

She was quite annoyed with them; earlier, the Chixing Clan people had intruded into their Chu Kingdom's Main Hall and killed many valiant generals, yet they dared not do anything!

It's truly akin to someone being on their knees, inviting another to relieve themselves, even handing them the paper!

Even if they eventually joined this battle, wasn't it forced?

Moreover, just now, several were scared into assisting the Chixing Clan and attempted to attack her when the Chixing Clan Elders shouted…

All this made Chu Huannian extraordinarily disappointed in the Chu Kingdom!

"Really? That's wonderful..."

"Your Majesty, quickly order the siege against the Chixing Clan!"

Hearing Chu Huannian's words, once again receiving her confirmation, everyone believed her, as they were familiar with Chu Huannian's character and knew she rarely lied, only in strategic deception, never without an enemy.

"Good! These Chixing Clan members have domineered within our Chu Kingdom for too long. I've had enough; now we can finally eradicate these menaces!"

The Chu Kingdom Sovereign was also delighted, immediately having Chu Huannian lead the army to eliminate the remaining Chixing Clan members!

Chu Huannian directly refused, saying coldly, "Killing Ancestor Chiji has damaged my Elemental Qi; Your Majesty should dispatch someone else!"

The Chu Kingdom Sovereign, hearing Chu Huannian's words, thought it made sense.

Since Chu Huannian had successfully entrapped Ancestor Chiji, she surely paid a significant price, so he appointed other generals to clear out the remaining Chixing Clan remnants.

Chu Huannian was quite at ease with this!

Not worried about the army encountering accidents when purging the Chixing Clan.

Because, in the Chu Kingdom, the Chixing Clan was mostly supported solely by Ancestor Chiji!

Aside from Ancestor Chiji, the strongest were those Chixing Clan Elders!

Now that Ancestor Chiji was dead, and those elders were cleared out.

The remaining Chixing Clan remnants could not possibly stir up trouble against the Chu Kingdom's army.

And indeed, she was truly exhausted, unwilling to earn further accolades.

"Hmm… and who might this be?"

At this point, the Chu Kingdom Sovereign cast a surprised glance at Mu Jinyu and curiously asked.

Mu Jinyu, too weary to salute, casually replied, "I am a friend of the Chu Kingdom Warrior, named Mu Jinyu."

"You..." someone, having seemingly realized something, inquired in astonishment, "You wouldn't happen to be the one who killed those few Chixing Clan people by Qingshi City at the border of two kingdoms..."

He wanted to call him a fool, but seeing that Chu Huannian admired Mu Jinyu, even bringing him back to the Chu Kingdom, he swallowed that thought!

"Yes, that's me!"

Mu Jinyu wasn't inclined to hide his identity, especially since so many had witnessed him kill those red-furred monsters, making it easy to investigate; he simply admitted it.

"Uh…"

Seeing the instigator causing their Chu Kingdom such disaster, those in the hall looked at Mu Jinyu with peculiar eyes!

A mix of gnashing anger and hatred intertwined, yet they dared not act against Mu Jinyu, for Chu Huannian stood nearby.

And she seemed to protect Mu Jinyu fiercely!

Even the Chu Kingdom Sovereign's expression turned awkward. After glancing at Chu Huannian, he forced a smile, "The National Scholar must be tired, right? Please take your friend to rest; tonight we shall hold a banquet to celebrate the National Scholar's achievements!"

"Alright!"

Chu Huannian nodded slightly, then bid the Sovereign and led Mu Jinyu out of the hall.

"Your Majesty, this..."

Seeing them leave, some immediately wanted to say something.

The Chu Kingdom Sovereign gave that person a look, sighed, "Forget it, although he's the main culprit for this calamity, as we have eradicated the Chixing Clan, let's not argue with him for the National Scholar's sake!"

...

As the Chu Kingdom soldiers received the command to annihilate the remaining Chixing Clan remnants, within merely half a day, the rest seven or eight hundred Chixing Clan remnants were all but captured!

Only a few escaped certain death, but they still faced pursuit from the Chu Kingdom army.

That night, the victorious news reached the Chu Kingdom, and the Sovereign ordered a grand banquet to announce their great triumph to the world.

Mu Jinyu was also among those invited.

Though Mu Jinyu initially did not wish to attend, considering Chu Huannian's request, he eventually agreed to go, having nothing else to occupy himself with.
