Chapter 308: 308. General Yaksha is very disappointed
"Come in."
Before the woman in black could speak, a detached voice echoed from the courtyard.
Li Yan shrugged, opened the courtyard door, and let Di Ao and Di Qingying inside.
Upon entering the courtyard, Di Ao saw General Yaksha, the first time she met the big figure Li Xian mentioned many times.
General Yaksha stood in the courtyard, seemingly admiring the snowy landscape, dressed in a black silk robe embroidered with the Golden Crow, her long hair casually draped over her shoulders, blending into the night.
Hearing the door open, General Yaksha turned around.
Even Di Ao, who’s bold beyond measure, couldn’t help but be startled when seeing General Yaksha’s face.
General Yaksha’s age was indiscernible; half of her face was extraordinarily beautiful, like a fairy descended from the heavens, while the other half was scarred from fire, charred and ugly like a demon.
No wonder she carries the name of Yaksha; this face could easily frighten someone to death at night.
Di Ao was only briefly startled before regaining her composure, yet General Yaksha caught that brief look of shock.
She didn’t get angry, instead smiling slightly, "Di Ao, coming here so late at night, could it be your deeds have been exposed?"
Her voice was so indifferent it seemed devoid of emotion, even her smile lacked feeling, accentuating the horror when it tugged at the burnt half of her face.
Di Ao respectfully praised, "General, you have discerning eyes."
General Yaksha was Di Ao’s major benefactor, both financially and strategically supporting her; during Di Ao’s suppression of dissenters, the True Mother God Sect was always helping her with kidnappings and assassinations, done in utmost secrecy.
Di Ao could afford to be arrogant and disdainful towards anyone but had to tone down her demeanor to humility in front of General Yaksha.
She recounted the story of Qiao Sen finding Li Shuxian and sending people to capture her.
General Yaksha remained silent after hearing this, and after a long pause, she sighed, "Di Ao, you’ve disappointed me greatly."
Di Ao’s whole body stiffened, a bone-chilling cold spread from her heart, instantly enveloping her whole being.
Her legs went weak, and she fell to her knees in terror, "Di Ao has failed the General’s nurturing and support, deserving a thousand deaths."
General Yaksha’s gaze was indifferent, yet it exerted an enormous and invisible pressure on Di Ao, causing her whole body to tremble, nearly collapsing.
Even Di Qingying, standing aside, broke out in a cold sweat due to the pressure.
This was the terror of the Innate Realm; just a glance was enough to make the arrogant Di Ao kneel and beg for mercy.
Di Ao indeed let General Yaksha down.
Early on, Di Ao’s performance was stunning; General Yaksha chose her as the candidate to overthrow the Qiao family, providing her with substantial support.
Unexpectedly, after gaining power, Di Ao quickly became inflated, arrogant, losing power, and then helplessly furious, unable to turn the tables at all.
This wasted a significant amount of General Yaksha’s time and resources.
Had Di Ao not still been somewhat useful, General Yaksha might have slapped her dead by now.
Ignoring Di Ao’s kneeling, General Yaksha turned to look at Di Qingying and asked, "How prepared are you?"
Since Di Ao lost to Qiao Sen, General Yaksha realized that relying on her alone couldn’t overthrow the Qiao family’s throne.
Thus, she had long ordered Di Qingying to prepare to shake the table, intending to directly use troops to place Di Ao in that position.
This method would greatly reduce the effectiveness against the Blood God Array, but it’s better than nothing.
Di Qingying quickly bowed her head, saying, "Reporting to the lord, everything is ready. The explosives you brought have been planted under the city gates and can be acted upon at any time."
She didn’t dare to say her preparations were insufficient, afraid of angering General Yaksha.
After all, the Chu Kingdom had been at peace for many years, with lax defenses, even with only eighty percent of the force, it was sufficient.
General Yaksha then turned to Li Yan and asked, "How’s the surveillance since then?"
Li Yan cheerfully replied, "Rest assured, General, I have kept a close watch over those three from the Heavenly Sword Sect. They indeed only have three people and no other reinforcements."
Li Yan and Li Xian were twin sisters, both cultivated the Ghost Shadow Secret Technique, which was perfect for surveillance and escape.
This period, Li Yan had been secretly watching over Qiao Sen and Yu Qing, monitoring their every move to ensure they hadn’t arranged personnel hidden in the dark.
Fortunately, Fang Zhou always used Liu Wa to deliver messages, or would have been discovered by Li Yan long ago.
Confident in her subordinate’s abilities, General Yaksha asked, "And your sister, hasn’t she returned yet?"
Li Yan shrugged, "Isn’t she protecting Di Ao?"
Di Ao quickly recounted how Li Xian stayed behind to block the enemies to help her escape.
Neither General Yaksha nor Li Yan thought Li Xian would lose to a few royal enshrined ones, likely she was being held up.
"Come forth."
General Yaksha softly said.
Several shadows quietly appeared in the courtyard, kneeling on one knee before General Yaksha.
These people were General Yaksha’s personal guards, experts of Perfect Foundation Establishment, and also experimenters of the substitute plan, substitutes mass-produced by the True Mother God Sect.
General Yaksha pointed at Di Qingying, "You will send her out of the city immediately, assist her in leading troops to break open the city gates, anyone who dares resist, kill without mercy."
Receiving General Yaksha’s order.
Several Substitute Messengers stood up, silently closing in on Di Qingying.
Di Qingying quickly bowed, with an excited expression, "Qingying will absolutely not disappoint the lord’s trust, tonight will definitely take down the Capital and the Imperial Palace."
Saying this, she glanced at Di Ao lying on the ground like a dead dog, feeling a surge of warmth in her heart.
Once tonight’s scheme succeeds, Di Ao would be pushed to the forefront to bear the wrath of all Qiao family loyalists, while she would step forward for clean up, representing the Di family to ascend as emperor.
"Begin."
General Yaksha calmly said.
The Substitute Messengers made no visible movements, but Di Qingying felt herself being grabbed by several invisible hands, not daring to resist, obediently being lifted up.
Di Ao lying on the ground was also scooped up, and the Substitute Messengers jumped onto the rooftop, carrying the rebellious sisters away swiftly.
General Yaksha remained in the courtyard, admiring the snowy scene in the night.
Li Yan quietly stayed beside.
Within an hour, a loud explosion came from the direction of the city gates, startling countless people in the city.
The city gate guards of the Capital were most loyal to the Qiao family, Di Qingying couldn’t win them over, so had to use this violence to break through.
The explosives for the city gates were originally brought by General Yaksha to deal with the Blood God Array but ended up unused, so handed to Di Qingying to make full use of.
Hearing the explosion, General Yaksha finally finished watching the snow scene.
"Let’s go, first take care of the people from the Heavenly Sword Sect, lest they get in the way."
General Yaksha softly said to Li Yan, her body slowly ascended, transforming into a flock of crows flying toward the Imperial Palace.
Li Yan leapt out of the courtyard in a few strides, landing on the ground as a shadow, swiftly racing along the ground closely following the flock of crows.
One from above, one from below, they quickly approached the Imperial Palace.
