......

Just as Gu Zhan put away the system, he suddenly furrowed his brows, stopped, and hovered in mid-air,

A strand of golden light emanated from his eyes as he slowly lifted his head to look at the dark sky, where a faint moonlight was streaming down,

But Gu Zhan saw something different in that moonlight, a particularly pure type of qi mixed in with the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi.

"Spiritual Qi!"

Gu Zhan reached out to capture a strand of that special qi, and upon holding it in his hand, he astonishingly discovered that this faint strand of qi was actually Spiritual Qi.

"How could there be Spiritual Qi here?"

Gu Zhan frowned.

The world has long since lost Spiritual Qi, only having Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi. Unless it was in places with a Spirit Gathering Array, a tiny amount of faint Spiritual Qi might be produced, yet he had just captured some Spiritual Qi here in this place.

"How could this be?"

Gu Zhan pinched a magic formula and pointed a finger at his forehead, and immediately, a strand of golden light appeared again in his eyes as he stared intently at a gathering point of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, where he discovered that the confluence of these energies intermittently split into minuscule amounts of Spiritual Qi.

Gu Zhan frowned tightly, murmuring, "Spiritual Qi Revival!"

...

In the ninth year of Qingli, on the seventh day of the second month,

The recently pacified Yunzhou once again experienced turmoil. Marshal Nangong Weiyang of the Yunxi Army suddenly raised 130,000 troops, marching straight towards Yun City. Rong Yichu, the State Captain of Yunzhou, had entered Yun City days in advance and, during Nangong Weiyang’s siege, led 10,000 martial world people to cooperate from within and swiftly took over Yun City.

Over a hundred thousand troops rushed towards Shuntian Prefecture.

The Prefect of Shuntian Prefecture, Wu Qian, along with a host of Shuntian Prefecture officials, hurriedly fled to the Astronomical Bureau.

Nangong Weiyang and Rong Yichu promptly led troops to besiege the Astronomical Bureau.

On this day, Yun City was eerily silent.

At this time, outside the Astronomical Bureau,

A large number of troops rapidly surrounded the area, with dense rows of archers ready to attack.

Inside the Astronomical Bureau, there was an uproar, as the high-ranking officials of Shuntian Prefecture gathered in the courtyard where the Astronomical Bureau’s Director resided, all in a state of panic.

Amidst the chaos, Qin You finally appeared, calming everyone down, and turned to the Yunzhou Prefect, saying, "Lord Wu, why are you so flustered? Didn’t you have Rong Yichu in your sights the moment he entered the city?"

Wu Qian sighed deeply, saying, "Indeed, I had Rong Yichu monitored, but it was entirely futile. Rong Yichu made no apparent moves until today, cooperating with Nangong Weiyang’s siege. Those martial world people are all from factions within Yun City. I don’t know what method Rong Yichu used to have them risk committing such a grave crime as exterminating entire clans!"

Qin You chuckled lightly and said, "I truly underestimated Gu Zhan’s prestige in the martial world, and Rong Yichu too. I never thought he would dare to start a rebellion based on mere speculative clues!"

Wu Qian looked anxious and said, "Lord Qin, you can still laugh under such circumstances? We’ve miscalculated, and now we’re in trouble!"

Qin You waved his hand and said, "No matter. Although I didn’t expect Rong Yichu to start a rebellion before us, it doesn’t affect our plan. It’s just that the timing is a bit ahead. The Capital City should have taken action already, and we can proceed now too!"

Wu Qian frowned and said, "Lord Qin, the strength of Marquis Yun’s Mansion is exceptional. Nangong Weiyang has gathered over a hundred thousand troops in this short time, with martial arts experts from the Martial Arts Alliance on site. We can’t suppress this, and almost all of Yunzhou’s army is in Gu Zhan’s hands."

While speaking, Wu Qian took a deep breath and said, "Lord Qin, the task given by the Crown Prince is to ensure Yunzhou doesn’t fall into chaos!"

Qin You smiled slightly and said, "Now there is no other way. Originally, the plan was an assassination plot against the high-ranking members of Marquis Yun’s Mansion, followed by quickly gaining control of the military. However, Rong Yichu acted first, causing a military mutiny and making chaos in Yunzhou inevitable.

The current strategy is to proceed with the original plan, eliminating Rong Yichu, Nangong Weiyang, and others at the top of Marquis Yun’s Mansion. Let the military be in disarray; Marquis Yun’s Mansion lacks a solid foundation and relies on the Gu Family’s support to stabilize regions. As long as the Capital City controls the Gu Family, Marquis Yun’s forces won’t be able to stir much trouble."

Wu Qian frowned and said, "Now, how can we kill Rong Yichu and his people?"

Qin You squinted slightly and said, "They should be arriving soon!"

Wu Qian and his companions were very puzzled.

Not long after,

Two elderly figures suddenly appeared in the hall.

Qin You abruptly stood up, bowed, and respectfully said, "Two seniors, the situation has changed, and we might need to ask you to take action ahead of schedule!"

The two elders nodded slightly.

Qin You introduced to the puzzled attendants, "These two are Land Immortals from the Ji Family and Lü Family. With their intervention, Rong Yichu, Nangong Weiyang, and their comrades are doomed, so please rest assured."
