Chapter 2221:- Boundless
Only after having seen this map did Sima You Yue realise how big the Devil Realm was. The places where people were populated were also divided into regions like the Human Realm. However, they weren't divided into the inner regions and outer regions like the Human Realm. They also weren't like the Ghost Region where they had the Soul Regions and Abyss of Hell. On the contrary, they seemed to have the pre-existence of past life, but for the sake of convenience, it was called ridges.
This could be why the Devil Realm had always been under the rule of the Devil Emperor.
Sima You Yue counted, the Devil Realm had thousands of ridges. Wu Lingyu only had less than a thousand subordinates. When she thought about the situation he faced, it was
grim.
This severe situation was not without a breakthrough, as long as the Devil King Mo Lou was destroyed, this matter would be much easier to handle. Few of those Royal clans would stand out.
However, this alone was too difficult. Otherwise it wouldn't have given Wu Lingyu a headache for so many years.
Wu Lingyu was surrounded by powerful devil beasts. As the Devil King who ruled over the Devil Realm, naturally he had such power in his hands. When they collided, who knew who would win or lose? Moreover, Mo Lou was reborn using the secret method of the person who had harmed the Spirit Realm back then, so he was not easy to deal with.
As she thought of Wu Lingyu's current situation, she couldn't imagine how he had found the time to accompany all those times. Especially that time when he had stayed in the Ghost Realm for so long. Even though he had occasionally disappeared to deal with matters, when she thought of this situation, she couldn't imagine how much hardship he had to go through in order to do so.
Frost Moon City, Frost Moon Ridge's largest city. It was also an important place for both sides to compete for, because of the abundant resources in Frost Moon Ridge. The Devil Realm was barren, so a place like this was somewhere both sides would want control of. Therefore, Wu Lingyu and the others wanted to seize this place. With this place under their power, they would be able to solve their current pressing needs to a large extent. With the same thought in mind, Mo Lou had sent a lot of people to guard this place to prevent Wu Lingyu and the others from seizing it.
For this place, there had been many wars between both parties. Wu Lingyu had sent people to attack many times but without success.
"The person stationed at Frost Moon City is the Devil Wolf Clan Leader." Sima You Yue said, "It is said that the Clan Leader is very strong. He rendered the people Wu Lingyu sent to fight helpless. Let's go and meet him. We'll charge some interest for you first. Without this Clan Leader, it will be much easier to deal with the Devil Wolf Clan." Sima You Yue explained to the two of them.
"I obtained this information from the City Lord earlier. This is just right, we can help Little Dream exact revenge and also obtain a good place for Wu Lingyu."
"But even if we take over Frost Moon City, we can't stop the Royal Clan's army of a million soldiers." Little Dream was still worried about this.
"The most troublesome part of the troop of a million soldiers is actually those in command. The soldiers under them just make up the number. What we have to do is deal with those who are more powerful and when the soldiers below don't have a commander, there won't be any need to worry." Sima You Yue analysed.
"That's true. But there are too many people under Mo Lou, there are also many powerful people, enough to give Brother Lingyu a headache." Little Dream said.
"Lingyu is not powerless to fight back." Sima You Yue was not very worried. In fact, she had absolute confidence in Wu Lingyu. No matter what kind of danger he was in, he would always be able to resolve it.
What she was doing now was to help him deal with these pests.
Since they had decided to go to Frost Moon City, they didn't delay any longer and found the location of Frost Moon City on the map and estimated the distance, then they took the Little Throne out and rushed over.
On Wu Lingyu's side, he was also troubled over Frost Moon City.
"Our men have been scoped out by Mo Lou over the past few years. As long as we get close, we will be discovered by Devil Sky Wolf. They are probably afraid that we will target that place again and have sent more people there. It will be very difficult to seize that place now." Ba Lang Qi, Black Jade Clan's leader sighed.
"King, we have to think of other ways to take down Frost Moon City." Hua Di agreed, "Whether it's based on our current situation or for morale, we have to take Frost Moon City." "I understand." Wu Lingyu knew the importance of Frost Moon City. It wasn't only him, Mo Lou also knew this, that's why it was so difficult to take overthe place. It wasn't that he hadn't thought about doing it himself. But once he made a move, the other side would too. After all, the Royal Clan had passed through many generations, his strength was still incomparable.
Therefore, if he wanted to solve this matter quickly, he could only start from Mo Lou.
At this time, a voice of greeting came from outside. At once, Hong Yuan, with silver hair and silver eyes in a red cloak, walked in from outside.
"Priest." Hua Di and Ba Lang Qi, as well as several other clan elders in the house bowed to Hong Yuan.
Hong Yuan nodded, then he saluted to Wu Lingyu and said: "There's movement at Frost Moon City."
"What have you divined?" Wu Lingyu asked.
As a priest, Hong Yuan was actually similar to Little Helper and the other divinators. He could do some divination, but his divination abilities were not as powerful as Yin Ling and Little Helper.
Hong Yuan shook his head slightly: "Previously I divinated that Frost Moon City was important and also the turning point of our victory, that's why we have to obtain control no matter what. But just now I divinated again but nothing came out. There must have been a variable that causedchange."
"A variable? Is that good or bad for us?" Ba Lang Qi asked in shock.
"Looking at the hexagon, it's not bad. But I can't divinate what the variable is so I can't come up with any countermeasures." Hong Yuan said dryly.
"We should still send someone to take a look."
"I'll go." Hong Yuan said. When he saw Wu Lingyu's disapproval, his icy face softened and he said: "Mo Lou has sent millions of troops down, General Sui has also brought people over. King, you have to stay here to take the lead at this time. Several Patriarchs are also leading men and can't go. It's best for me to go at this time."
He had no subordinates under him, he was the perfect choice.
"But, will it be too dangerous for you to go?" Hua Jing asked worriedly. Hong Yuan used to be Mo Lou's subordinate, if he went over their camp now, Mo Lou's men would treat him as a traitor. If they found out that he had gone over there, wouldn't they put him to death?"
"I have made a divination for myself, there is no danger, you don't have to worry." When they heard Hong Yuan's words, they swallowed their words of dissuasion.
"But it's still too dangerous for you to go alone. Hua Jing, bring some men with you." Wu Lingyu instructed.
"Yes." Although Hua Jing wanted to stay behind and fight, the Priest was important to Wu Lingyu, so he had to protect the safety of Hong Yuan no matter what.
Hong Yuan didn't object, he spoke the truth. The divination he had made for himself was extremely fierce, but in the end the outcome would have a good turn. It was also good to bring some people. Therefore, he accepted the order and rushed to Frost Moon City with Hua Jing.

Chapter 2222:- A Big Piece Of Fat
Sima You Yue didn't go to Frost Moon City directly. The situation there was not good, so if she had swooped in like a headless fly, it wouldn't have necessarily been a good thing. They went to an inconspicuous city near Frost Moon City. This place was close to Frost Moon City, but because it was too close, it was undeveloped as it was unable to gain the resources of Frost Moon City. But even so, it was much better than some of the places they had seen before.
"No wonder both parties are fighting for this place. You can feel it's different the moment you arrive." Sima You Yue said with emotion.
Frost Moon Ridge had green mountains and clear waters, they also saw several ore veins while they were on the Little Throne. To the Devil Realm who were lacking resources, this was a piece of big fat meat.
"Let's go into the city to inquire about the news." The place they had arrived at was still a little far away from the city, so that they would be able to pass through quietly.
But before they entered the city, they met an old acquaintance outside the city, a rather awkward looking old acquaintance.
Ba Jia Zi thought that her fate was going to be tragic this time and that she would be captured. Not only that, she would also be a burden to Hua Xiu, and also be a burden to the King's affairs. Mo Lou had already sent a large army over, but she couldn't be a burden to her clan and the King. If she was going to be caught at this point in time, she would rather blow herself up! She saw the people chasing her had caught up to her and surrounded her. Those people were ruthless, and their strength was much stronger than hers, her heart sank. It seemed there was only one way out today. "I didn't expect there to be food for you on our arrival. In that case, Flowey, you don't have to be polite."
The clear voice sparked hope in Black Jade's eyes, inconceivable hope. She turned her head, and sure enough, she saw the Man-Eating Flower King and smiled to herself.
"You Yue! It's really you!" Black Jade's eyes lit up. She thought she was doomed today, she hadn't expected the least likely person to appear, let alone survive!
Petals of flowers flew to her side and she jumped up and allowed the petals to send her to Sima You Yue's side.
As for those people who were chasing after her, with Flowey the Man-Eating Flower King, as well as Little Dream, there was no need for her to worry anymore. "You Yue, why have you come here?" Black Jade still couldn't believe her eyes. Sima You Yue had come to the Devil Realm.
Hadn't the news that they had received said that she was very busy? Were the matters in the Human Realm settled? Why didn't she go to find the King since she had come here?
Sima You Yue smiled when she saw her bright eyes and said: "I've only just arrived in the Devil Realm. I have some things to deal with so I came here first."
"Fortunately you are here, otherwise I would have to hand over this place." Black Jade said happily.
"Why are you here?" Sima You Yue asked.
Upon hearing this, Black Jade's smile faded.
"Hua Xiu and I came to inquire about the news. Who knew that we were discovered before we had arrived in Frost Moon City." Black Jade said, "I don't know what's happened to Hua Xiu! We escaped separately."
Sima You Yue asked which direction Hua Xiu had escaped to, and when she saw that almost everyone here had been eaten by Flowey, she called out Mi Er and ordered him to go to find Hua Xiu with Flowey and Little Dream.
"Tell me about the current situation..."
By the time Mi Er, Flowey and Little Dream had brought Hua Xiu back, Ba Jia Zi had already told her about the current situation. It was similar to what she had seen in the City Lord's memory, but her information was clearer.
Hua Xiu had suffered many injuries, but he wasn't in bad spirits. He was surprised when he saw Flowey and Little Dream, but knowing that she was here had given him hope.
"You Yue, have you seen the King since you've arrived in the Devil Realm?" Hua Xiu asked.
"No, he doesn't know that I'm here yet." Sima You Yue said, "In the past he always brought me a gift when he came to see me. This time I've come to see him, I have to bring a gift with me to meet him."
As soon as Hua Xiu heard her words, he knew that she hadn't come here casually. His eyes lit up and he said: "You want to take Frost Moon City?"
Sima You Yue nodded: "Ba Jia Zi told me that you've already had many headaches over this place for a long time. I can't say for sure, but it's still possible for me to make a contribution."
"We will succeed with you here!"
"That's right, with you here, we will succeed this time! We also won't be afraid of getting punished when we go back."
Hua Xiu and Ba Jia Zi had high confidence in her. They felt there's nothing she couldn't do if she wanted to do it.
Sima You Yue hadn't expected them to have so much trust in her. She smiled and said: "Did the two of you sneak out here?"
If they hadn't sneaked out, why wouldn't they even have a few powerful guards by their side? Their identities weren't ordinary after all.
Hua Xiu and Ba Jia Zi's faces had looks of embarrassment.
"You Yue, you didn't tell the King that you've come to the Devil Realm, and you want to help him take Frost Moon City, isn't that all just to give him a surprise? We won't disclose your information and you can put in a good word for us when the time comes!" Ba Jia Zi said with a smile.
"If the two of you are fine, your clansmen will naturally not put too much blame on you." Sima You Yue didn't want to make things difficult for them. It was fine to help friends with small problems.
"Thank you, I know You Yue is just the best!" Ba Jia Zi held her hand, "When are we going to Frost Moon City?"
With the two of them, Sima You Yue didn't need to go into the city to inquire about the news and decided to go directly to Frost Moon City. However, Hua Xiu's injuries were quite serious, so they called a flying beast to take them there so that he could recuperate on the journey.
Frost Moon City was on full alert right now, but it hadn't reached the point of closure yet. Maybe the Devil Sky Wolf Clan leader was stubborn and felt that no one could remove him.
Sima You Yue and the others did some camouflage outside the city. Black Jade's hair was changed with dye while Hua Xiu was even easier. He had always used the human form, now he just grew some hair and used the medicinal pill that Sima You Yue had given him and changed his breath so no one would recognise him.
As for herself, she merged with Mi Er and transformed into a similar appearance to Hua Xiu. Flowey and the others went back into the Spirit Pagoda temporarily.
When the three of them entered the city, naturally, the guards questioned them. Sima You Yue didn't need to say anything, she just followed Hua Xiu and pretended to be his subordinate.
Although Hua Xiu was not as capable as his brother Hua Jing, he had travelled around the past few years and had learnt more than enough to deal with the guards. Although a little time was wasted, the three of them entered the city safely. The two of them wouldn't have dared to enter the city without Sima You Yue. The both of them would have been captured once they had been discovered. Ba Jia Zi was the Black Jade Clan's Princess. If she had been captured, she would have been used to threaten Ba Lang Qi. This was not a trivial matter for them. Even if nothing happened in the end, it would have affected the momentum.
With Sima You Yue around, the two of them were no longer afraid of anything.
.

Chapter 2223:- Heavily Guarded
The three of them entered the city, and in order not to attract attention, they strolled through the busy streets like ordinary people and bought some medicinal herbs, etc, then went to an inn to stay.
Once inside the room, Sima You Yue set up a spirit barrier that prevented their voices from being heard outside.
"It's really heavily guarded here. I've never seen soldiers patrolling a city before." Sima You Yue thought of the several waves of soldiers patrolling on the street. Their strength was not low either, and there was also a divine sense that swept through the city. She knew that this was a tough situation to crack.
"Not only that, the guards here are the best I've ever seen. When so many people were attacking them earlier, their Protective Array didn't even move." Black Jade said, "It's because of this Protective Array that our talents return in low spirits every time."
The Protective Array had kept Wu Lingyu's people outside, even if they were unable to beat them, they would still be able to withstand their attack until reinforcements arrived.
"The Protective Array..." Sima You Yue smiled faintly, "Perhaps we can start with this."
"Are you going to break their Protective Array? That's easier said than done!" Hua Xiu and the others had seen the Protective Array before. There were so many of them breaking the Protective Array together but to no avail. It really wasn't easy for them to break it. "The two of you haven't really come here alone have you? Aren't there still your people here? Maybe you can get in touch with someone?" Sima You Yue asked.
When Hua Xiu and Black Jade heard her words, they looked at each other and nodded.
"We left some people behind, but they are not very strong." Hua Xiu said.
"Me too." Black Jade said, "But I know that some of the King's people haven't withdrawn, and their strength is acceptable."
"Acceptable?" Sima You Yue touched her nose, "Will they listen to you?" Black Jade and Hua Xiu shook their heads. They weren't their subordinates, of course they wouldn't listen to them.
"You Yue, what do you intend to do?" The Protective Array couldn't be broken by having some people attacking it, so what was the use? So, she definitely didn't have this idea in mind.
"I don't want them to destroy the Protective Array, I want to see what the Protective Array looks like first." Sima You Yue said, "It's not been revealed at the moment so I can't see what the situation of the Protective Array looks like."
"You want to start with the Protective Array? You know about arrays?" Hua Xiu asked.
"As long as the Protective Array is activated, I can study its pattern." Sima You Yue said with confidence.
She had always been quite accomplished in arrays, and she had also learnt so much in the Ghost Realm's Hidden Sect. She had even researched Ancient Arrays, she had confidence in this area.
However, that old man from the Devil Sky Wolf Clan wouldn't trigger the Protective Array for ordinary people. She had some Ancient Battle Souls in her hand, but once they appeared, she would be exposed, and then Wu Lingyu would receive the news of her coming here. If he left behind all his duties and came to her, and disrupted his own plans as a result, she would be doing him a disservice.
Black Jade and Hua Xiu pondered for a while, then said: "I'm afraid it won't be easy if you want them to trigger the Protective Array. Even if we contacted those people, with their strength, it wouldn't be necessary to trigger the Protective Array."
"Let's think of another way." If there was no other way, she would have to let the Ancient Battle Souls come out.
"Yue Yue, I have a plan." Little Dream in the Spirit Pagoda said. Sima You Yue called her out and said: "What is
it?"
"I can control a group of people and make them attack Frost Moon City." Little Dream said, "With my current strength, it won't be a problem controlling some powerful people. If they cooperate with the people outside, it will make them think that an army is approaching and trigger the Protective Array."
Sima You Yue looked at Black Jade and Hua Xiu, the premise of this plan would require the help of their people. "Well... We will think of a way!" Hua Xiu gritted his teeth. If they could break the Protective Array, they wouldn't have to worry about taking over this place.
Therefore, even if they would be punished when they returned, they still had to find a way to try.
"Then I will leave it to you." Sima You Yue smiled: "Be careful when you leave and enter the city."
"Hehe, actually we don't have to leave. We have someone on the inside. We just hadn't planned to contact them." Hua Xiu said, "Let's go now."
Hua Xiu and Black Jade went out while Sima You Yue waited in the inn. She released some scarlett bees to see if she could gather any useful information.
Soon, Hua Xiu and Black Jade came back, their heads hung low and there was another person behind them.
"You Yue, this is General Ji. He is in charge of Frost Moon City's affairs. Those people will obey his orders." Hua Xiu said.
When Sima You Yue saw their expressions, she knew that they hadn't managed to convince this person.
"My name is Ji Ze, may I ask who you are?" General Ji was sizing up Sima You Yue from the moment he walked in. Although she looked similar to Hua Xiu, he didn't think that just anyone would be able to mobilise Hua Xiu.
Sima You Yue realised that Hua Xiu and Black Jade hadn't revealed her identity.
She wanted to say that she was Wu Lingyu's subordinate. However, she realised that since General Ji was in charge of such an important matter in Frost Moon City, and was able to put Hua Xiu and Black Jade in such low spirits, his status under Wu Lingyu must be quite high. Therefore, how would he not know who Wu Lingyu's people were?
"I am a friend of Ba Jia Zi. She told me that the Protective Array here is difficult to break and it has been a problem for you, so I came to help her. You can call me Si Yue." Sima You Yue said.
"That plan is not feasible." General Ji refused without considering it. Hua Xiu and Ba Jia Zi were both anxious, but they were also afraid of him, hence, they kept quiet.
However, Sima You Yue wasn't anxious, instead, she smiled faintly: "No, you don't think that this plan won't work, otherwise, you wouldn't have come with them to see me. You came to see who is the person who suggested this plan to them, whether I really have the ability to break the Protective Array, or whether I am just exaggerating. Am I right?"
Ji Ze stared at her without answering.
Sima You Yue didn't mind, and she continued speaking: "Actually, you don't have to worry about whether I have been sent here by the other party. The main driving force behind this plan is my Underworld Beast. Your men only need to pretend to be the reinforcements. Even if the plan doesn't work, your men won't be hurt."
"This is no ordinary favour. Why are you helping us?" Ji Ze didn't believe her.
"Because Ba Jia Zi promised to take me to see your King once this is over." Sima You Yue gave him a reason.
However, Ji Ze didn't think this was so. What was the motive of a woman who wanted to see his King? In his heart, Sima You Yue had the intention of trying to get close to the King.
He raised his head and looked at Ba Jia Zi, and he saw her nodding and indicating that this was true. She was their Queen after all, and after this matter was over, she was indeed going to see their King, that much was true!
.

Chapter 2224:- Let's Follow You
Ji Ze finally agreed to Sima You Yue's request, because he had no other way to choose now. He was ordered to attack Frost Moon City. Seeing that Mo Lou had already dispatched a million strong army, he was extremely anxious, he hadn't even accomplished his own mission!
So, no matter what Sima You Yue's purpose was, he did not care, as long as he could break this Protective Array.
Now that he had made a decision, he brought Little Dream along. He ordered the soldiers outside, and Little Dream went to find a target.
Both she and Sima You Yue knew that if she made a move like this, the other party would definitely discover her aura. But she did this to tell the old man of the Devil Sky Wolf Clan that she, the only surviving member of the Dream Devil Clan, was back! She's back for revenge!
A day later, Little Dream gave Sima You Yue a voice transmission to prepare her, and it didn't take long before she heard the sound of attack from outside. As her strength increased, so did the strength of her beasts. Little Dream was originally strong, but now she was even stronger. Among the people she controlled, one of them turned out to be a powerful person who had reached the Paragon Rank. The strength of the latter few were not bad, and the number of Ji Ze's people does seem to be a bit large.
When Lang Ya, the Patriarch of the Devil Sky Wolf Clan, heard that someone was attacking the city, he was not flustered one bit. How many times have the people over there attacked, and which time had they succeeded? However, he couldn't let them ruin this city, otherwise how would he be able to explain? He ordered people to activate the Protective Array while he led another group out to attack.
The moment they left the city, Ji Ze's people fled. This phenomenon made the guards of Frost Moon City stunned for quite some time.
They escaped so quickly? Were they just here to play today? Only Lang Ya looked at the direction where those people had escaped to with a gloomy expression on his face.
If he didn't sense wrong just now...
Those people under him didn't dare to call out to him when they saw that he had such a grim expression on his face.
After a while, Lang Ya ordered the withdrawal of his men, and at the same time sent out his own people who were also his confidants.
When Little Dream had left to attack, Sima You Yue had been standing on the streets since, with Hua Xiu and Ba Jia Zi standing on each side, and neither dared to say a word, for fear of affecting her.
Before the Protective Array was deactivated, Sima You Yue told the two of them to go back to the inn, then locked herself in the room and fiddled around, and didn't open the door until Little Dream and the others came back.
"Yue Yue, we're back!" Little Dream's expression was not very good, she nodded to Sima You Yue, and stood by her side and stopped talking.
Sima You Yue knew that she was in a bad mood when she saw Lang Ya today but couldn't take revenge.
Ji Ze stared at Sima You Yue and asked, "Did you see it?"
Although they retreated early, there were still a few casualties. If it was no use, then those people would have died in vain.
Fortunately, Sima You Yue nodded, raised the paper in her hand, and said, "I have deduced the positions of the various array stones of the Protective Array. However, I checked, and every array stone is well-guarded. We must destroy this stealthily, otherwise, if we're to be discovered, they will make up for it, and it will all be wasted."
"Give me the location and I'll get it done. I won't let them find out." Ji Ze said with certainty.
Sima You Yue told him the location, and then asked him to pass the news back after success, and let someone over there take over.
Seeing her so confident, Ji Ze frowned: "Even if we break the Protection Array, it won't be easy to gain control of this place. I'm afraid there won't be anyone from the King's side to attack this place."
"It doesn't matter, you don't need many people, you just need to find a few people to take over, not to fight." Sima You Yue said.
Fighting a war and defending a city were completely different concepts and required completely different strengths. One only needs a few people in charge of the overall situation and a few soldiers.
"How is this possible?! Not to mention other things, that Lang Ya alone is enough for us to have a headache, not to mention there are so many guards here, how can we take it down?" Ji Ze didn't believe her one bit.
"Don't you have so many people? Those people are enough." Sima You Yue said, "Sometimes, when the two armies face each other, it is not the one who has the most who wins. We must pay attention to outwitting them with our mind. Don't worry, we'll take care of him!"
Speaking of Lang Ya, her tone became cold, and a strong killing intent ignited.
Ji Ze was a little shocked, what bad blood did she have with Lang Ya?
"Hua Xiu, Ba Jia Zi, you two should follow General Ji these couple of days." Sima You Yue said to the two of them.
If Lang Ya discovered Little Dream, no matter whether the news spreads or not, he will not let Little Dream go. If Hua Xiu and the others follow her again, there may be danger.
"Let's follow you instead." Hua Xiu said worriedly.
It was so dangerous in Frost Moon City, how could they leave her alone?
"There's no need, I have my own plans, and you will delay my plan here." Sima You Yue categorically refused.
"We..." Ba Jia Zi still wanted to refute, but was pressed back by Sima You Yue's gaze, so she reluctantly agreed. Although Sima You Yue was a friend, however, her other identity was also a Queen. She ordered them, and they couldn't help but listen.
Ji Ze looked at the three and frowned even more.
He took Hua Xiu and Ba Jia Zi out of the inn, and when he got to where he was staying, he asked, "Who is that Si Yue? Don't say she's a friend, my eyes are still working well." Ba Jia Zi and Hua Xiu weren't so easy to talk to, not to mention that it didn't seem like a friend's request just now, but it seemed to be more of an order.
Ba Jia Zi and Hua Xiu were taken aback for a moment, but she was the first to react and said, "She is my friend, but she is stronger than me. It is normal for her to be stronger. Besides, it is for our safety." "Really?" Ji Ze gave her a deep look, "I don't care what her identity is, but if she doesn't have a good intention...". "She wants to deal with Lang Ya, will she have a good intention? Hua Xiu and I can guarantee her personality and character, so don't worry!" Ba Jia Zi patted her chest and assured.
At this time, someone from outside sent a message in. Seeing that Ji Ze didn't look very good, Hua Xiu asked, "What's wrong? Is there something in the war..."
"No, it's the news that just came from over there, saying that His Honor, the High Priest is coming to Frost Moon City, it is estimated that he would arrive in two days." Ji Ze replied.
"What? His Honor is coming?!" Hua Xiu and Ba Jia Zi both shouted out aloud. They looked at each other and saw the fear in each other's eyes.
Why did Hong Yuan come here at this time? Shouldn't he be by the King's side?
Not only them, but Lang Ya also got news.
"Hong Yuan is coming? He's a traitor with a lot of courage!" Lang Ya sneered, "Go and make arrangements, this time I'll have him come without the chance to return!"
.
.
.
Chapter 2225:- Saving Hong Yuan
It was only after Lang Ya had made arrangements to deal with Hong Yuan did the City Lord's steward come in: "Patriarch, the news has been sent back."
To be able to address him that way, it meant that the steward was also from the Devil Sky Wolf Clan.
Lang Ya responded lightly.
"Patriarch, can you really sense the Dream Devil's breath?" The steward asked cautiously.
"There's no mistake." Lang Ya said, "If there is any breath that I am unable to forget, it can only be the one that belongs to the Dream Devil Clan."
He had participated in the events personally that year, and he remembered clearly how the Dream Devil clan had been wiped out. The Dream Devil that had been impossible to kill was dissected by him. When he had been suppressed, he had also taken part in that. How could he have made a mistake?!
"One hundred years ago, someone once sensed the breath of the Dream Devil in a city near the Bloody Tunnel. But it was only for a moment, and she left no trace behind." The steward spoke: "Could this be the same as last time?"
"Probably not. Since she helped the people on that side of the city, it means that her allegiance is to them. Although I don't know who released her, I don't think she will have forgotten her hatred all those years ago. Since she knows I'm here, she will definitely not give up."
"Patriarch, the Dream Devil Clan was wiped out. If she comes back this time, I'm afraid she will use the power from that side to help her take revenge. We still have to be very careful." The steward said.
"Hey, she wants to take revenge with her strength?" Lang Ya didn't take Little Dream seriously at all. When she was suppressed back then, she was only a Devil General, how could she be stronger now?
As for the possibility that she would borrow the power of that side, what did he have to worry about? He wished that he could kill more people right now, then he could go to Mo Lou and claim the credit!
"Send someone to investigate, we must find her whereabouts!"
"I'll send someone out of the city to investigate now." The steward replied.
"No, focus inside the city. The people she is looking for are all from the city, which means she is in Frost Moon City! You must find her no matter what method you use, even if you have to dig three feet into the ground."
"Yes!"
The steward responded, then left immediately to make arrangements.
He had also participated in the original incident and naturally knew about the treasure the Dream Devil had on her. Previously, they hadn't been able to bear the pressure, so they had agreed to suppress her to the Yi Lin Continent. Now that she was back, how could they miss such an opportunity? In the past, no matter what they did, she couldn't be killed. The secret of immortality, this alone was enough to drive an entire continent crazy!
They had to find her this morning!
However, no matter how they investigated, they couldn't find Little Dream's breath. Lang Ya and the others doubted that she was in the city at all.
When Hong Yuan first arrived at Frost Moon Ridge, he had encountered an assassination attempt. Fortunately ,Hua Jing had brought enough people and they didn't die on the spot. However, half of the people they had brought with them had died.
"Your Honor, we have to contact General Ji and ask him to send someone to meet us." Hua Jing said after he had cleaned up the mess.
They had met with an ambush the moment they had arrived, which meant the other side was well prepared and knew that they would come. There would no doubt be many more attacks along the road to Frost Moon City. They had to protect Hong Yuan's life, and Ji Ze had the manpower.
Hong Yuan didn't want to use his own life as stakes either. It wasn't that he was afraid to die, but mainly because his death would bring a big blow to Wu Lingyu's momentum and give Mo Lou a chance to take advantage. So, he couldn't die, he had to live.
Earlier, they had only sent a message to Ji Ze to say that they would go there, but now they needed someone to go and meet them.
When Hua Xiu heard the news, he couldn't help but whisper to Ba Jia Zi: "This Priest won't stay by the King's side but decides to come here instead to join the fun. Isn't he just giving us extra work to do?".
Ba Jia Zi poked him and whispered back: "The strength of the Priest is higher than yours, it's just that those people sent to assassinate him are all aimed at his strength, he can't do anything about that."
"If he can't do anything about that then he shouldn't have come. He shouldn't have taken my elder brother with him!"
"I think you're afraid the Priest will settle the score with us, am I right?" Ba Jia Zi sat on the chair with his legs crossed, unworried at all.
"Well, weren't you afraid of him previously too? Why are you so calm now?" "That's because we have backing now!" Ba Jia Zi smiled, "With You Yue here, you can rest assured we won't be punished."
"Are you sure?"
"Of course!" Ba Jia Zi said confidently, "Besides, we are taking over Frost Moon City now, and after that someone has to stay behind to guard it. Now everyone is busy dealing with Mo Lou, he is the most suitable one."
"Strictly speaking, His Honor's travel itinerary should be confidential, how did Lang Ya and his men know his whereabouts? I think we most likely have a traitor."
"It's possible. When General Ji comes back we will ask him."
"But, once His Honor arrives, You Yue's secret will be exposed!"
"That's true..."
When Sima You Yue heard the news that Hong Yuan was coming from Ji Ze, she was stunned. The last time they met, he was too strong and powerful, his killing intentions towards her was also too strong. She didn't have a good impression of him.
"I have already destroyed the array stone. I have to go and get the Priest now. What are you going to do?".
"In order to capture the ringleader, one must capture all his followers first, of course we will start with Lang Ya first." Sima You Yue said, "When you get back, the City Lord should be
gone."
"You are certain?"
She had already met Lang Ya and she knew where his strength lies. In order to deal with him, Little Dream could do it by herself.
"Then I'll leave it to you." The most important thing for Ji Ze now was to protect Hong Yuan. To Wu Lingyu, Hong Yuan was even more important than Frost Moon City.
Sima You Yue waited till he had left, then she sent the scarlet bees to inquire about the news. She was preparing to settle the score with Lang Ya when she learnt that he had already left.
When she thought of the news the scarlet bees had brought back, she sighed: "Forget it, since you are so important to Lingyu, I will help
you!"
Having said that, she disappeared from the spot.
Although they had sent the news, Hong Yuan and Hua Jing were still only approaching Frost Moon City. They suspected that someone had exposed their whereabouts, so they changed their route. The journey was relatively calm, but they were still found by Lang Ya before they were able to meet up with Ji Ze.
In addition to Lang Ya, there were a few other people. They were the clan elders of Devil Sky Wolf, and their strength was very strong. Other than Hong Yuan who could match their strength, Hua Jing could only just withstand them for a while. The others were nearly pushed down by their coercion.
"You have really gone to a lot of effort just to deal with me!" Hong Yuan didn't panic at being besieged.
"Of course. I really didn't expect that you, the traitor, would dare to come to my territory. It's just the right timing anyway, and I can take your head and report to the King! I would like to see how Wu Lingyu can fight against the King without you!"

Chapter 2226:- Little Dream's Revenge
The fact that Hong Yuan would come here came as a surprise to Lang Ya and the others.
This person was very important to Wu Lingyu. Because of his guidance along the way, Wu Lingyu was able to occupy so many ridges and fight against Mo Lou. Killing now would be a great thing for them. Therefore, when they received the news, they had begun planning how they could kill Hong Yuan.
Hong Yuan was different from ordinary divinators. He had inherited his gifts from his ancestors and his strength was strong. It was not easy to deal with him alone, not to mention he had brought so many people along with him. Especially since he had changed his route again, they had spent a lot of energy in order to ambush him here.
When Hong Yuan saw the people that Lang Ya had brought with him, he knew that he had planned to kill him here. Without wasting his breath speaking to him, he made a move.
Hua Jing didn't say anything about letting Hong Yuan go first, but because the strength of the opponents had suppressed them, even if they had wanted to take them on and let him go, they wouldn't have been able to get out! Their only hope now was that Ji Ze would bring reinforcements to rescue them!
Lang Ya's strength was similar to Hong Yuan's. He had called a clan elder and attacked Hong Yuan together. It didn't matter that their numbers were greater, killing him today was the most important thing. He could have dealt with Lang Ya alone, but he was really struggling now that he had to deal with two people at the same time. He held on for a while, but he was hit by Lang Ya and fell to the ground and rolled over a few times. His long silver hair was stained with mud and he looked a little awkward. "Your Honor!" Hua Jing saw that Hong Yuan was injured and wanted to help him, but he was fighting against several opponents and had no energy. "Hong Yuan, receive death!" Lang Ya condensed his spiritual energy and prepared to give Hong Yuan the final blow.
"Your Honor!" At this moment, Ji Ze had arrived with some of his subordinates and when he saw this scene, he teleported in front of Hong Yuan and warded off Lang Ya's attack.
The others joined the battle and Hua Jing was able to go to Hong Yuan's side. "More have arrived to receive death!" Lang Ya didn't panic when he saw the men Ji Ze had brought with him. Even if they had come, they wouldn't be able to save Hong Yuan!
He opened a passage in space and many people came out of space very quickly.
When Hua Jing saw all those people, his eyes flashed. Lang Ya actually had a back up plan, it seemed that he was determined to destroy them today!
"Hong Yuan, your life must end here today!" Lang Ya said.
It wasn't just him, all of Wu Lingyu's men had to die here today! Hua Jing and Ji Ze were also capable generals, if all three of them were to be killed today, Wu Lingyu would definitely vomit blood in anger. "No one can leave alive today!" Lang Ya ordered, and everyone attacked together. The number of men that Ji Ze had brought were much less than theirs. Once they all attacked at the same time, they wouldn't be able to protect Hong Yuan.
"Hai."
A sigh that shouldn't have been able to be heard by anyone on the battlefield, but was heard clearly in everyone's ears.
Lang Ya was shocked, there was someone watching and they didn't even know!
Where did this person come from? Why was this person looking from the sidelines? Will she help?
Hong Yuan and the others had doubts but they were also secretly happy. This person definitely didn't belong to the opponents, nor did she intend to help their opponents, otherwise, she wouldn't have made such a sound in a situation like this.
Sima You Yue had been watching for quite a while. She had arrived before Ji Ze and was about to help the first time Hong Yuan was in danger, but when she saw Ji Ze intervening, she didn't. She thought that they didn't need her to come forward, but who knew that Lang Ya would have brought so many people to deal with Hong Yuan and the others. This time, she had to do something.
When she came out of space, Hua Jing was surprised and also delighted to see her. Surprise flashed in Hong Yuan's eyes, while Ji Ze was shocked.
But the three of them had the same thought in their hearts: It was her!
Sima You Yue glanced at them, but she didn't say much. With a wave of her hand, hundreds of Ancient Battle Souls came out and attacked Lang Ya's people, rescuing Hong Yuan and the others.
Because they didn't know who she was, after the Devil Soldiers had been rescued, they returned to Hong Yuan's side to protect him. "Who are you?" Lang Ya's shock was stronger than Hong Yuan's. He was just about to succeed when this person appeared out of nowhere.
"Someone who will kill you!" Sima You Yue said, "I had originally thought of coming up with a plan to lure you out of Frost Moon City without alerting the people in the city, I didn't expect you to give me this opportunity!"
"I have no grievances against you, why do you want to kill me?" Lang Ya was certain this was the first time he had met this woman, but the killing intent in her eyes was so strong that it nearly turned into water.
"You and I have no grievances? You won't say that after you've met this person. Little Dream, after waiting for so long, it's time for you to take revenge!" As soon as Sima You Yue had spoken, Little Dream appeared by her side.
When he saw Little Dream, Lang Ya still didn't understand. He hadn't expected to encounter this Dream Devil under such circumstances.
"Lang Ya, you wiped out my clan years ago, today, I want you to pay for your debts with blood!" The hatred had been suppressed in Little Dream's heart far too long. She attacked Lang Ya immediately after she had spoken.
Had it only been just Little Dream, Lang Ya wouldn't have been afraid. She was only young, and besides, she had been suppressed for so many years, how could she defeat him? What he was worried about was those hundreds of Ancient Battle Souls.
However, he soon realised that he was wrong. Little Dream's strength was not the same as it was those years ago, she was clearly on par with him!
She had only been rescued from the seal one to two hundred years ago, how could she have managed to cultivate to such a powerful level in such a short period of time?
Little Dream didn't give him the chance to be surprised. Every move and every strike had strong killing intent, it was quite distressing.
When she thought of the tragic situation of her own family clan being destroyed, and the sufferings she had endured, it was like a knife cutting through Little Dream's heart. Every move was deadly, and she obviously had the same strength as Lang Ya, but he had no power to fight.
Sima You Yue watched for a while, and though she was sure that she had no problem, she still called Mi Er out to watch the situation. If something had happened, he would be able to save her.
She came down from the air and landed in front of Hong Yuan and the others.
"Are you all alright?" She looked at Hua Jing. Although his injuries were more serious, he should be fine.
"Why have you come to the Devil Realm? When did you arrive? Why didn't you tell the King?" Hua Jing asked excitedly.
Ji Ze was very puzzled, Hua Jing seemed very familiar with her. He also mentioned about her arriving in the Devil Realm, was she not from the Devil Realm?
It seemed right, those people were Ancient Battle Souls, she probably came from the Ghost Realm.
"The affairs in the Human Realm are almost settled so I came to take a look." Sima You Yue's words made Ji Ze's eyes widen.
Human Realm? She is from the human race?
.

Chapter 2227:- The Plan To Take Over Frost Moon City
That's not right!
The King was from the Human Realm, Si Yue was also from the Human Realm, Hua Jing was familiar and respectful with her, could she be.... The Queen? Hong Yuan glanced at Sima You Yue lightly, this girl had advanced to such a high level in such a short time!
"Thank you." Although he didn't want to admit it, she did save them today.
"You are Queen Sima You Yue?" Ji Ze finally couldn't hold back and asked.
"Yes, I concealed my identity before because I didn't want you to treat me differently once you knew my identity." Sima You Yue said apologetically.
To be honest, she didn't want to reveal her identity now either, but with Hong Yuan around, it couldn't be concealed.
The others were very surprised upon finding out her identity. They knew about Wu Lingyu's affairs, and naturally knew that he had gone to the Ghost Realm for her. They had always been curious about her, and now that they finally saw her with their own eyes, they couldn't help but look at her more.
"Hong Yuan, I hope that you won't tell Lingyu the news of my coming here." Sima You Yue requested.
"Why?" Hong Yuan asked. Actually, he hadn't planned to tell Wu Lingyu.
"Do you really need me to say it?" Sima You Yue asked him back. She looked at him once and didn't say anymore, then she flew into midair and went to look at Little Dream.
"Your Honor?"
"Today's matter cannot be spread out." Hong Yuan ordered.
Everyone else responded, then they heard Lang Ya's cry and looked up just in time and saw Little Dream putting her hand into Lang Ya's chest. When she withdrew her hand, Lang Ya's heart was in her hand.
"Back then, you tried every means possible to dig my heart out. Today, I will let you taste the pain of having your heart dug out." Little Dream exerted force, and Lang Ya's heart shattered into pieces.
Lang Ya fell from the air. He thought that he would be able to kill Hong Yuan today, he never expected that it would be his own death date.
So, the feeling of having your heart dug out was actually so painful, so painful.
"Today, I have only paid back what you did to me. What your clansmen did to my clansmen, I will return in full!"
Little Dream's voice lingered in his ears, the undisguised hatred annihilated the last of his consciousness.
After she confirmed that Lang Ya was really dead, Sima You Yue flew to Little Dream's side. She reached out and held her hands.
"Yue Yue, I really killed him!" Killing Lang Ya was the beginning of her path to revenge. "This is just the beginning, we will make sure the rest of them pay." Sima You Yue patted her on the back and said softly. Hua Jing looked at Little Dream and said to Hong Yuan: "Your Honor, is that a Dream Devil? Weren't their entire clan wiped out at the very beginning? Why is she alive?"
"The youngest Princess of the Dream Devil Clan. She was born with something on her body that kept her immortal, that's why the Dream Devil Clan was wiped out. But because she was unable to die, she was suppressed in the Human Realm of the Yi Lin Continent. Later, she was found to have been rescued. I assumed she must have become her contract beast."
"So that means the Queen didn't just come to the Devil Realm for the King!"
"Whether she did or not, it is still a good thing for us." Ji Ze said.
Now that Lang Ya was dead, it would be much easier dealing with Frost Moon City. Especially since she had so many powerful Ancient Battle Souls, it was not a problem for them to take over Frost Moon City.
Hong Yuan looked at Sima You Yue. From the moment he saw her, he knew that the variable that had appeared in Frost Moon City was her.
Sima You Yue comforted Little Dream, and gathered her Ancient Battle Souls, then she came down and said: "Such a big movement is bound to attract the attention of the people around, we should leave as soon as possible. Can your people bear it?"
"No problem."
Even if they couldn't bear it, they had to. Otherwise, if they attracted the attention of other people, it would be troublesome.
Sima You Yue also could see it, hence, they didn't go very far. After they made sure that no one had followed them, they found a place to recuperate.
While everyone was resting, Ji Ze came to Sima You Yue's side and said with a little embarrassment: "Queen, I have a presumptuous request."
"You want to use my Ancient Battle Souls to take over Frost Moon City." Sima You Yue said.
Ji Ze hadn't expected her to have guessed it at once and was stunned for a moment, then he said: "Yes."
"I cannot promise you." Sima You Yue said.
"Why? Aren't you the Queen? Frost Moon City is very important to the King, don't you want to help relieve the King of his worries? The King has done so much for you, haven't you thought of doing something for the King?" Ji Ze was anxious and his tone was harsh. "Ji Ze!" Hua Jing scolded him when he saw him getting angry at Sima You Yue. "Have I said something wrong?" Ji Ze ignored him and continued speaking: "She has so many Ancient Battle Souls, they are enough to deal with Frost Moon City. Once we take over Frost Moon City... She obviously has the power to do so, but she isn't willing to! How can such a Queen be worthy of our respect?"
"No." Sima You Yue said.
"Why?"
"If I use the Ancient Battle Souls to attack Frost Moon City, in less than two days, Lingyu will know that I am here." Sima You Yue said, "If this affects the war, won't I have to bear the crime?"
"Frost Moon City is very important!" Ji Ze emphasized.
"I know, I didn't say that I won't take it down." Upon seeing that Ji Ze didn't believe her, Sima You Yue explained: "What I meant is that we can't use the Ancient Battle Souls to take down Frost Moon City, but we can use other methods."
"You've thought of another way?" Hua Jing asked, "There are many Devil Soldiers in Frost Moon City, and there are also many powerful people. We don't have the men, and if we don't use the Ancient Battle Souls, I'm afraid it won't be easy to win."
"Don't worry, the people we have here, plus the people who are coming, is enough." Sima You Yue said confidently.
"You'd better give us a better understanding." Hua Jing saw that Ji Ze was anxious and if she didn't explain it clearly, he wouldn't let it go.
"Actually, it's simple. The most powerful ones are the leaders. Once we take out the leaders, the soldiers will be easier to deal with."
"The strength of those leaders isn't lower than Lang Ya."
"I didn't plan to fight with them either!" Sima You Yue blinked, "There are better ways, why fight?"
"You mean... poison?" Ji Ze wasn't a rigid general, he didn't just know how to fight, "I did think of this method before, but it can't be implemented."
There wasn't such a powerful poison, and it wasn't easy to get close enough to them to poison them either.
"You don't have to worry about this." Sima You Yue said, "What you have to do is take your men to go and clean those people up, then go to Frost Moon City with Hong Yuan to take control. I am only in charge of what's happening at the start, I won't intervene later."
Hong Yuan raised his eyebrows when he heard her say his name directly, but he didn't say anything in the end.
After they had rested for two days and when their injuries had recovered, they rushed back to Frost Moon City immediately. At this time, Frost Moon City was already in a panic because of Lang Ya's death.

Chapter 2228:- Shocking
Lang Ya's Life Jade had been broken, this news had only come from the Devil Sky Wolf Clan a few days later, the people in Frost Moon City were caught off guard. How did Lang Ya die? Didn't he bring people out of the city? He even said that he would come back with the enemy's head in two days, so how could he die?
Many people had gone to the City Lord Manor to verify it. When they heard the confirmation, they had no choice but to believe it.
"We must elect a new City Lord as soon as possible. We can't allow Frost Moon City to fall without a City Lord." Some people suggested.
"This matter still has to be reported to the King first, and let the King decide. However, we can choose a proxy first."
"That's all we can do now!"
So, they called all the top-ranked people in the city forward. The last time the city was so crowded was at its last battle.
However, as soon as news of the City Lord proxy spread, news that Hong Yuan had brought people to attack Frost Moon City came.
"Again? Why have they chosen this time to attack?" "I'm afraid they chose to attack now because they know that the City Lord is dead. Sigh, do they really think there's no one here?" An elder snorted coldly, "Activate the Protective Array, let's go and meet them!" This elder was the City Lord proxy, his strength was the highest out of everyone there. When he spoke, no one dared to go against it, so they all followed him to fight.
They came to the sky above the city with a dense number of Devil Soldiers behind them. Judging from the number, they had more men than Hong Yuan.
The Protective Array was activated and the people inside the city were not worried about being affected by the war, so they all went out onto the streets to watch the excitement.
Ji Ze looked at the dazzling Protective Array and asked Sima You Yue in a low voice: "Didn't you say this Protective Array was destroyed by you? I have already done as you instructed, could they have discovered it?"
"Don't you find that this Protective Array is not as powerful as before?" Sima You Yue said with a smile, "We have to put on a show. If we let them know that the Protective Array has been destroyed early in the morning, wouldn't we have aroused their vigilance? When you attack the Protective Array, you'll find that it's not the same."
Ji Ze was sceptical, he didn't see any difference in the Protective Array.
"These people don't seem to be poisoned!" Ba Jia Zi stood next to Sima You Yue and asked.
She and Hua Xiu had left the city when they received the news from Sima You Yue. Not long later, Frost Moon City was in chaos.
"It will take effect in a while." Sima You Yue said.
There was nothing left to say. Hong Yuan wasn't talkative, so he waved his hand and the people behind him attacked them.
Ba Jia Zi and Hua Xiu were a little nervous. But upon seeing Sima You Yue's calm appearance, their dangling hearts fell back down.
They believed her, if she said there was no problem, there would be no problem.
Very soon, they realised that something was amiss. Something wasn't wrong with the other party, something was wrong with the people on their side. In the past, they would attack fiercely, why did they seem to be dodging today? They didn't seem like they were going to attack at all.
Before they could express their doubts, they saw that their opponents who had just been aggressive collapsed suddenly one by one.
"What's going on?" One by one, they were paralysed on the ground. They tried to mobilise their spiritual energy, but found that they were unable to move their body at all.
It wasn't just that old guy, all the Devil Soldiers fell from the air to the ground.
Upon seeing this, everyone on Hong Yuan's side were shocked. Although they knew that Sima You Yue was going to poison the opponent, they hadn't expected the effect to be so good that they were actually poisoned!
"You're so good, they're actually all poisoned, Sima You Yue, your poison is so powerful!" Ba Jia Zi exclaimed in surprise.
Even Hong Yuan's eyes flashed when he looked at Sima You Yue.
It wasn't that they hadn't thought about using poison before, however, they hadn't researched such a powerful poison. At the very most, they would only be able to target those underlings. Also, the opponent was very cautious, so it was very difficult to poison them. Not only had she researched such a powerful poison, but she actually poisoned everyone.
"You Yue, how did you do it? They looked fine just now." Hua Xiu asked the question in everyone's hearts.
"I didn't release this poison now. Since I arrived in Frost Moon City, I have been poisoning the Devil Soldiers. They are not very vigilant, so it's easier to poison them. As for those people, I poisoned them when they gathered to choose the City Lord proxy." Sima You Yue said, "As long as you don't use spiritual energy, this poison won't take effect. They used their spiritual energy earlier, which caused the poison to take effect. Now they can't use their spiritual energy, and they have no strength, what you want to do with them is up to you."
She had said before that she would only be responsible up to this point, she wouldn't deal withthe follow up matters. Now that she had done what she had promised, she wasn't going to get involved with the other matters.
Ji Ze was very happy, he thought that Sima You Yue was only talking. He thought that no matter how powerful she was, there would be a fierce battle today. Who knew that the process would be so easy?
"Your Honor, what should we do with these people?" "Kill them." Hong Yuan said. Those people's strength was quite good, they would not be safe. Upon their recovery, they would be rivals once again. It was better to kill them.
Ji Ze thought so too, and once he received the order, he brought some men with him to kill them all.
The people in the city were dumbfounded when they saw this. However, they didn't panic, they still had the Protective Array. The Protective Array was very powerful and surely they would be able to wait until reinforcements arrived!
Unfortunately, the Protective Array had failed to give them any real protection, because it didn't last two minutes under Hong Yuan's attack.
When they saw the light of the Protective Array slowly dissipating, everyone in the city was stunned.
Why was this Protective Array so vulnerable?
The Devil Soldiers inside had also been poisoned by Sima You Yue. In addition to that, their powerful leaders had also been killed, what else could these underlings do to resist? The next thing that happened, naturally, was of course Hong Yuan and the others had taken over Frost Moon City smoothly.
Frost Moon City that had given them so many headaches over the years, was taken down just like that. Their casualties were less than one tenth of their previous battles. This news greatly inspired people's hearts and the ones who were against Mo Lou were more energetic. Sima You Yue didn't do anything else after she entered the city. All she did was rearranged the Protective Array when Ji Ze went to set up a new one, and made it stronger than before.
Previously, it had been used to protect Mo Lou's people, now it was used to protect their people!
After she returned to the inn, she found that Hong Yuan was waiting for her.
"You did very well." Hong Yuan said, "Your growth has been amazing over these past few
years."
"Thank you for your compliment." Sima You Yue smiled.
"The news of Frost Moon City has been sent." Hong Yuan saw Sima You Yue frowning and continued: "Don't worry, the news about you hasn't been sent. The King won't know anything. But, when do you intend to go and see him?"

Chapter 2229:- How Could She Conquer Frost Moon City Alone
When will she go to look for Lingyu?
They hadn't seen each other for two years, she wanted to go to look for Lingyu as soon as possible. Earlier, she had wanted to help Little Dream seek revenge, then later on, she came here after she found out about the situation of Frost Moon City. Now that Frost Moon City had been taken over, of course she would naturally want to go to see him.
"I had planned to go over once I have finished here with the Protective Array." What she meant was that if he wasn't here, she would have left already. "I'll escort you there." Hong Yuan said.
Sima You Yue was a little surprised. She thought that he had come to look for her because he wanted something else, she hadn't expected that he wanted to escort her there.
"No need, I can go there myself." She wanted to use the Little Throne to get there, so it was inconvenient having others around.
Hong Yuan didn't know what she was thinking, but he said bluntly: "You won't be able to see the King without me if you don't want to alarm him."
Wu Lingyu was now the King, he was surrounded by many guards, it would be quite difficult to get to his side smoothly.
"But you're not staying here?"
"Things will be fine with Hua Jing and Ji Ze." Hong Yuan was a priest, he hadn't come here to be a City Lord. Now that the place was stable, he was no longer needed. On the contrary, when he returned, he would send more people here to guard the place.
Since he had already said so, she could only stay with him. She could also protect him at the same time, after all, he was a very important person by Wu Lingyu's side.
Ba Jia Zi and Hua Xiu went back together, not because they wanted to, but because their affairs were known to the clan and their Patriarchs had ordered them to return to be punished.
Ba Jia Zi wasn't afraid at all. Besides, she was following Sima You Yue, so she wouldn't suffer any punishment.
Half a month later, Sima You Yue followed Hong Yuan to Wu Lingyu's base camp, the Capital City.
As she stood outside the huge and magnificent palace, Sima You Yue really felt that Wu Lingyu was the King of this world.
Hong Yuan brought her to the main hall. When the guards saw Hong Yuan, they saluted respectfully. Everyone was curious about the identity of the woman he had brought back with her.
In the main hall, Wu Lingu was discussing the current situation with people when his eyes lit up suddenly. The corners of his mouth raised to a smile and disappeared from where he was standing without saying anything, which shocked everyone in the hall.
Sima You Yue felt his presence, and when she saw him appearing in front of her suddenly, she gave him a big smile: "Lingyu, I'm here."
Wu Lingyu hadn't expected her to come. He stepped forward and put his arms around her: "Didn't I tell you not to come? Why didn't you listen?"
Sima You Yue hugged him back and rubbed herself against him, then said: "I missed you, so I came."
In the past, there were many things that had happened, he always went to look for her, now it was her turn to go to him.
The people who came out were shocked beyond measure when they saw this scene. However, they all knew about Sima You Yue's existence. Back then Wu Lingyu had given up his body and went to the Ghost Realm to look for her, so who wouldn't know about her?
Other than her, there was no one else who could make Wu Lingyu behave like this.
That woman had actually come to the Devil Realm to look for their King, everyone's thought darted back and forth for a while.
Towards the Queen, this human, they weren't willing to acknowledge her. Back then when she was in the Human Realm, they pretended they didn't know about this matter. Now that she was here, they couldn't think of what mentality they should use to face her.
Wu Lingyu let go of her and held her hand instead. Then, he walked back into the main hall and asked: "Why have you come back with Hong Yuan?"
"I came from Frost Moon City." Sima You Yue replied.
Wu Lingyu understood what she meant as soon as he heard this, and smiled: "I was just saying how could we take over Frost Moon City so easily so suddenly when we have had problems for such a long time. However, you should have told me."
"If I had told you then would you still be here waiting for me? When I first arrived, I heard that Mo Lou had sent millions of troops to attack you." Sima You Yue understood him well, that's why she had hidden it till now, "Besides, I also went to Frost Moon City to help Little Dream take revenge."
The group of Generals and Patriarchs followed them back into the main hall and watched as he led her up to sit on the throne. They held back their tongues.
Hong Yuan went to the seats of the subordinates and said: "King, although we have taken over Frost Moon City, we still need to send more people over there. Mo Lou will definitely not give up so easily and will send someone to take it back."
"We were just discussing this matter and deciding who to send." Wu Lingyu said.
It was the crucial time of the war right now, everyone wanted to go to war and not defend the city.
After they had discussed it for a while, they decided who should go to Frost Moon City. After the nominated General received his orders, he left and went to make the arrangements.
Sima You Yue had been sitting quietly beside him without interrupting. She actually knew a little about those people. Wu Lingyu had mentioned them when they chatted in the past, but she had no intention of intervening. "Your Honor, the news that you sent back previously only mentioned that you have taken over, but we don't know how you managed to do it." Someone finally asked.
Hong Yuan glanced at the person who had asked the question, it was one of the three female generals, Devil Fox Clan's Leader Leng Yun. When he saw the unresigned look in her eyes, he knew what she was thinking.
"We didn't take over Frost Moon City. All the credit belongs to the Queen." He said quietly.
"You mean Frost Moon City was taken over by the Queen herself? How is that possible?" Leng Yun didn't believe it and didn't hide her doubts.
Wu Lingyu wanted to speak but was stopped by Sima You Yue. She shook her head at him and motioned him to not say anything. "Why is it impossible?" Hong Yuan asked. "We all know how difficult Frost Moon City is to conquer, so how can she do it alone?!" Leng Yun's words were full of contempt for Sima You Yue.
In fact, it wasn't just her who thought that way. Everyone else thought this way too, but they didn't say anything.
"Oh? You didn't see it with your own eyes, how can you be so sure?"
"The Queen is just a human, it's difficult for her to protect herself in the Devil Realm, let alone conquer Frost Moon City." "Do you know who killed Lang Ya?" "Don't tell me it's the Queen?" Though Leng Yun said it, she didn't believe it.
"Do you know why we were able to conquer Frost Moon City at minimal cost?"
"We really want to know, otherwise we wouldn't have asked you."
"The person who killed Lang Ya was the Queen's contract beast." Hong Yuan said, "And the reason we were able to take over Frost Moon City so easily was because the Queen poisoned all their Generals. It was also the Queen who destroyed their Protective Array so that we could enter the city."
"The Queen poisoned the Generals? How is it possible? There is no poison that will have any effect on them in this world!"
"Just because you can't doesn't mean others can't." Hong Yuan glanced at her. Jealous women were so ugly. In contrast, the young girl that he looked down upon in the past was much more pleasing to the eye now.
Leng Yun wanted to say something but was stopped by the people around her. It may not be credible if those words came from other people. However, it was His Honor, who would dare to not believe his words?

Chapter 2230:- If I Win, I Stay
After those people left, Wu Lingyu brought her to his bedroom. His face was gloomy all the way there, he was not happy at all.
Once they were inside his bedroom, Sima You Yue wrapped her arms around his waist and snuggled in his embrace, then she comforted: "Alright, don't be angry anymore." "Why didn't you let me speak earlier?" Wu Lingyu looked at her obedient appearance. His voice was a little hoarse but he still tried his best to look upset.
"I know you want to protect me, but she is your General after all. They work for you and if you scold them to defend me, it will inevitably make the gother Generals under you feel disgruntled." Sima You Yue poked his chest gently. Although she had done it through his clothes, it made him feel unbearable.
"My woman, if I don't even have the ability to protect you, I..."
"I know. I understand your thoughts." Sima You Yue interrupted him, "It's just that you still need to use them, so the less trouble you can cause, the better. Besides, I don't care about that female general, I care about what everyone else feels."
If it was only one general, it didn't matter to her. But if he had scolded her in front of the other Generals, they would definitely have some discontentment. After all, they had fought together side by side but on the other hand, not only was she their Queen but she was from the Human Realm. Naturally, the one whom they were more familiar with and from the same realm as them held a higher status in their hearts.
"Besides, even if you had reprimanded them, if they don't want to accept me, they still won't accept me. It's not like I'm incompetent, you don't have to worry about these things, I can handle this by myself." Sima You Yue didn't want him to worry.
Before she came, she already knew about the immense pressure he was under. After she saw him, she saw the tiredness in his eyes and knew that he must not have rested for a long time. Her heart ached for him, and she didn't want him to worry about these things.
"How long has it been since you've rested?" She pressed him onto the bed. He pulled her and she fell on top of him.
"I've not kept track, probably a month." Someone's hands were starting to wander.
"So long!" Sima You Yue patted his hand, then she took out an elixir and stuffed it into his mouth, "You get some sleep first. No matter how difficult the situation is now, it won't make a difference if you slept for a while."
"Don't worry, even if I don't rest, I will still have the energy."
"Who's talking to you about this? Hmm..."
Absence made the heart grow fonder, and besides, they had been separated for two years. Their fire and desire for each other blazed through the night, it wasn't until the next morning before he fell asleep in her arms under her coercion.
Sima You Yue nestled in his arms. As she looked at the dark circles under his eyes, she couldn't help but reach out and touched them.
This guy had always said that everything in the Devil Realm was fine and told her not to worry, but he made himself so tired instead.
She sighed in her heart and found a comfortable position in his arms, then fell asleep with him. Wu Lingyu slept soundly, but when she moved, he subconsciously held her tighter and even kissed her hair lightly.
After Sima You Yue arrived, Wu Lingyu didn't show up for a whole day. This made the generals lament in their hearts. Didn't the Queen know how difficult the situation was right now? She actually did this!
The angry generals didn't dare to look for Wu Lingyu, so they went to look for the priest instead. They knew that the priest most disliked matters like that.
Hong Yuan just glanced at them lightly: "Do you know how long the King hasn't rested?"
Several Generals were taken aback.
"The last time the King rested was one year and one month ago." Hong Yuan didn't wait for their response, "You've always advised the King to rest, so why are you complaining now?"
The few Generals blushed at Hong Yuan's words. They had only considered that the King only rested for so long because of a human, they hadn't realised that the King was actually very tired.
At this time, Sima You Yue came over. She was the one who had placed the spirit barrier, so she knew as soon as they came over. "I know that you don't respect me, you think that I am just a human and I'm not worthy to stand by Lingyu's side." Sima You Yue said, "Now I'll give you a chance, if anyone can beat me, I will return to the Human Realm and I won't stay here and be a sore eye."
Hong Yuan raised his eyebrows, this woman would actually do such a thing?
"Alright, you said it!"
"Naturally. However, it doesn't matter what method you use, so you have to accept it no matter what method I use as well." "Is that even possible?" "Why not?" Sima You Yue asked back, "It doesn't matter if I use a divine artefact, or if I use a poison array, as long as I defeat you, it is my strength. Does it mean that just because I used poison to conquer Frost Moon City it means that I didn't really take over the city?"
The Generals were speechless by what she said. She was right, did that not count? Of course not.
"Then let's experience the Queen's strength!" Leng Yun stood up first, "Please forgive me first if I hurt the Queen later on."
Sima You Yue had hidden her strength, so they didn't know the level of her strength at all. However, they knew that she was young, only in her early two hundreds, therefore, her strength must not be high. If she wanted to use other methods, they would let her so as to say that they bullied her. Sima You Yue nodded: "Come on!"
The two of them came to midair. Hong Yuan opened the palace's Protective Array so as to avoid it being affected by the battle.
"You're the Queen, and you are young. I'll let you have two moves first." Leng Yun said.
"No need." Sima You Yue revealed her own strength. Her Advanced Pinnacle strength blinded their eyes.
"How, how.... Is it possible?".
The Queen was actually an Advanced Pinnacle level, she was only two hundred years old and she was even stronger than their two thousand year old strength!
Leng Yun also hadn't expected Sima You Yue's strength to be so high. However, she was also a Pinnacle level strength, with the addition of her tricks, it wasn't impossible to fight against her.
To have been able to achieve such strength at such a young age, she must have solely focused only on cultivation. Such people wouldn't have any combat power.
Very soon, their beliefs were slapped back in their faces. How could Sima You Yue not have any combat power? Her combat power was much stronger than those of them who had been on the battlefield for years! If it wasn't for the fact that Leng Yun was someone under Wu Lingyu, she wouldn't have been able to last more than two minutes!
"Snap..."
A lightning struck not far from Leng Yun's side and blasted a hole in the ground. After the smoke and dust had dissipated, they could still feel the residual power in the air. Leng Yun had already been injured by her, if this lightning struck her... Everyone couldn't help but shudder.
Sima You Yue flew down. She didn't look like she had just been in battle at all, and just circled the air.
"I said, it doesn't matter what methods you use, but General Leng Yun doesn't seem to understand what I have said."
It turned out that when she said any method could be used, she wasn't talking about herself but them. What was ridiculous was that they all thought that she would cheat in order to stay. When they thought of this, they couldn't help but blush.
