"I have no interest in knowing. I wish you were dead right now," Fu Yafang said viciously.
Mu Ye Xinchen smiled, a rare expression. "Your wish will not come true. Xianxia City has been surrounded by my army, and the general offensive will begin tomorrow. Other war zones of Xianxia are also accelerating the deployment of troops to defend the city."
"Once the army returns to defend the city, the vast other regions of Xianxia will become unguarded lands. My army will advance unimpeded within Xianxia. I will establish strongholds, supply depots, and weapon manufacturing plants across the land of Xianxia."
"Xianxia will also be devoured by me, bit by bit."
"Then, I will personally visit Xianxia and reclaim everything that rightfully belongs to me."
Fu Yafang’s teeth were almost shattered by hatred. These were the most disgusting and infuriating words she had heard recently.
But she was powerless.
The method of shattering like jade had been attempted. Now, her hands and feet were securely bound, with only her mouth free to move.
Since Black Star began clearing out Xianxia agents within the country a few days ago, she had lost contact with her handler.
However, she had reported all the intelligence Mu Ye Xinchen had given her to her handler. Her mission was complete, and if she were to sacrifice herself, she felt she had done her duty to Xianxia.
Just as she was preparing to die, she was apprehended by Mu Ye Xinchen's intelligence department and held under house arrest at headquarters.
"Let me ask you again, do you want to know about 'Hei Yang'?" Mu Ye Xinchen asked calmly.
"Why won't you let me die? I'm just an obscure agent, I'm insignificant," Fu Yafang said resentfully.
"Don't you understand yet?" Mu Ye Xinchen picked up the bitter grass wine, took a sip, and said indifferently, "You are a key piece I have cultivated, someone who will work for me in the future."
"Delusional! I will never do anything for you, executioner!!! I despise you, I wish I could bite you to death!" Fu Yafang struggled and shouted excitedly, but the heavy ropes firmly locked her to the sofa, rendering her immobile.
"'Hei Yang' is a supercomputer I have developed. In the future, it will replace human thought and plan the development route for humanity. Of course, its military capabilities are also top-notch."
"But now, I am still missing the most crucial element to perfect 'Hei Yang'."
"I need that boy named Gu Xingchi to use his abilities to fully awaken 'Hei Yang'."
Fu Yafang yelled furiously, "Go to hell!"
Mu Ye Xinchen examined the bitter grass wine glass in his hand and said softly, "You will witness the birth of 'Hei Yang' with your own eyes. At that time, you will bow down and submit to me."
"And I will lead Xianxia towards a brighter future."
"Pah!" Fu Yafang spat towards Mu Ye Xinchen's wine glass, fiercely venting her inner anger and disgust.
"Fu Yafang," Mu Ye Xinchen gently wiped the saliva off the wine glass with a tissue, his voice chilling. "Your survival to this point depends entirely on my mood. Indeed, I see abilities in you that others do not possess. I appreciate your abilities, and I also appreciate your luck."
"Some people are born lucky, and you are one of them."
"Be grateful for your immense luck. In time, you will thank me."
With that, Mu Ye Xinchen lightly tapped the armrest of the sofa. The alloy gate of the lounge opened, and two guards quickly entered. They each helped Fu Yafang up and carried her out.
"Where are you taking me! You executioner, no matter how you treat me, I will not yield! You devil!" Fu Yafang shouted hoarsely with all her might.
"Where to?" Mu Ye Xinchen retorted coldly. He smiled slightly and replied calmly, "Of course, to witness the destruction of Xianxia City."
After speaking, Mu Ye Xinchen put on the black and gold-trimmed cloak representing the Grand Commander, picked up an exquisite short scepter with a black and gold head symbolizing power, and straightened his attire in his holographic reflection before slowly walking out of the lounge.
...
In the spacious observation room, the ceiling was encircled by a band of dim red light. In the center of the observation room was a spherical holographic display over ten meters in diameter, offering clear and true-to-life images from all angles.
Mu Ye Xinchen sat regally in his supreme commander's position.
Also seated around the periphery of the holographic display were the generals of the Black Star Fallen Army from various war zones, as well as the leaders of the Allied Nations. Of course, Fu Yafang, the uninvited guest, was also present.
She was securely bound to a sofa, sitting not far behind Mu Ye Xinchen, her mouth gagged tightly, unable to utter a sound.
In the entire observation room, only Mu Ye Xinchen and Fu Yafang were real people; everyone else was seated within the holographic projection, watching the real-time battle.
The entire hall was both lively and quiet.
Mu Ye Xinchen brought her here precisely to shatter her obsession with Xianxia from its core, to make her serve him willingly, and to completely turn her into a potential pawn to destroy the enemy.
In the end, Mu Ye Xinchen had revealed his fangs.
"Xianxia City general offensive countdown, five hours," a melodious female system voice echoed from all directions, beautiful and pleasant, but the content sent a shiver down Fu Yafang's spine.
The high-ranking officials watching in the holographic display were already becoming restless with excitement.
Mu Ye Xinchen covered his forehead with one hand, his gaze sweeping over the massive holographic display. In fact, he was covertly observing those subordinates who had betrayed him from the corner of his eye.
His plan was for his agents to secretly assist Xianxia intelligence personnel in approaching those treacherous subordinates after Fu Yafang had transmitted the intelligence to her superiors.
As soon as Xianxia City fell, those treacherous subordinates would meet their end along with Xianxia City.
He would then conveniently blame the Xianxia intelligence bureau, and swiftly appoint loyal "clean individuals" to replace the betrayers.
This would completely destroy Lai Jing Fanan's plan hidden in the shadows.
Once Xianxia City fell and the land of Xianxia became a slaughterhouse for the Fallen Army, coupled with the elimination of those who betrayed him, Mu Ye Xinchen would be one step closer to the position of Grand Commander of the Black Star Empire.
Then, with steady progress, by continuously conquering each Xianxia city, he would ascend to the throne of the Black Star Empire with unparalleled support.
At that time, with Black Star in his grasp and Xianxia under his heel, controlling the two most powerful nations in the world, what threat could other smaller nations pose?
At that time, he would be the most powerful man on this planet.
Only then would he dare to consider his ultimate dream.
"That's right," Mu Ye Xinchen murmured. "I must seek a way out for humanity's future. Humanity has been confined to this planet for centuries. Humanity's future should not be like this."
"I will lead all of humanity to build massive cosmic cleaning vessels and completely clear the ancient debris orbiting the planet. Giving the planet a clear sky."
"Then, humanity will be completely liberated from its constrained fate and return to the vastness of the stars."
"That is humanity's future."
"Whether it is Xianxia or Black Star, anyone who dares to obstruct my dream will become insignificant dust."
The five hours passed quickly.
Mu Ye Xinchen slowly opened his eyes and, facing the vast yet lively hall, calmly shouted, "General offensive on Xianxia City, commence!"
