When the general guarding the city gate saw Fang Yue coming, hope ignited in his eyes: "General, if this continues, the city gate may not be able to hold on!"

Fang Yue looked serious and quickly scanned the battlefield. He saw that the city gate was crumbling under the repeated attacks of the assassins, and brick and stone debris kept falling.

Fang Yue made a prompt decision and ordered loudly: "Archers, concentrate your firepower and shoot at the enemies under the city gate! Don't be stingy with arrows, and be sure to suppress their offensive!"

The archers on the city wall quickly received the order, and rows of sharp arrows rained down at the assassins of the Demon Shadow Society under the city gate.

The assassins were immediately in chaos, and many of them fell to the ground after being shot.

However, the assassins of the Demon Shadow Society seemed to have received a death order. Even though they suffered heavy casualties, they still rushed towards the city gate one after another.

Fang Yue knew that it was far from enough to rely on the suppression of the archers alone. He must find a way to completely repel the enemy, otherwise once the city gate was breached, the imperial city would be in an irretrievable situation.

With a determined look in his eyes, he turned to the general beside him and said, "Choose fifty of the most elite soldiers and follow me out of the city to meet the enemy! We will fight our way out from the front and disrupt their offensive rhythm!"

After receiving the order, the general quickly selected fifty elite soldiers with strong backs and firm eyes.

These soldiers held sharp blades and exuded a spirit of fearlessness.

Fang Yue, holding a long sword, took the lead and led the elite soldiers to open the city gate like a tiger descending from the mountain and rushed towards the assassins of the Demon Shadow Society.

The assassins of the Demon Shadow Society did not expect Fang Yue to dare to take the initiative to attack, and they were a little panicked for a while.

But they quickly reacted and quickly surrounded Fang Yue and others.

Fang Yue showed no fear and used the Qingfeng Poyun sword technique. The sword flowers flashed, and each sword was accompanied by a sharp sword energy, directly pressing the assassins' vital points.

Under his leadership, fifty elite soldiers also fought bravely. They cooperated tacitly, formed a tight battle formation, and rushed left and right in the enemy group.

At the same time, the archers on the city wall were not idle. They seized the opportunity and kept shooting arrows at the assassins to provide support for Fang Yue and others.

Under the fierce attack of Fang Yue and others, the offensive rhythm of the assassins of the Demon Shadow Club was completely disrupted, and the originally neat formation became scattered.

At this time, the troops that Fang Yue had sent to outflanking had also arrived. They were like gods descending from the sky, launching a fierce attack on the assassins of the Demon Shadow Club from the rear.

The assassins were attacked from both sides and were immediately in a desperate situation.

"Kill! Don't let any of them go!" Fang Yue roared loudly, waving the long sword in his hand repeatedly, killing several assassins.

Seeing that the situation was over, the assassins of the Demon Shadow Club finally lost the will to fight and began to flee everywhere.

Fang Yue took advantage of the victory to pursue and led the soldiers to chase and kill the fleeing assassins. After a fierce battle, the assassins of the Demon Shadow Society were all annihilated, and the crisis of the city gate was finally resolved.

Fang Yue looked at the devastated city gate and knew that although he successfully repelled the enemy this time, the imperial city suffered huge losses, and there was still a lot of reconstruction and defense work to be done later.

However, the most urgent task now was to inform the empress of the news of victory to reassure her, and at the same time, to thoroughly investigate the incident and find out all the traitors who colluded with the Demon Shadow Society to prevent future troubles.

He turned to the guard general and said, "Immediately arrange manpower to repair the city gate and strengthen vigilance.

Although the Demon Shadow Society was defeated this time, there is no guarantee that they will not come back again." After receiving the order, the guard general quickly organized the soldiers to engage in the repair work of the city gate.

Fang Yue, covered in gunpowder and fatigue, but with the pride of victory, rushed back to the palace at full speed.

Along the way, there were still traces of fighting on the streets. Under the comfort of the soldiers, the people gradually recovered from their fear and cast respectful eyes.

Stepping into the magnificent palace, Fang Yue knelt on one knee, his voice loud but unable to hide his fatigue: "Your Majesty, the rebellion of the Demon Shadow Society has been successfully quelled, and the imperial city is out of danger!"

The empress Zhu Linlang's originally furrowed brows finally relaxed, and tears flashed in her eyes, with both the relief of surviving the disaster and the pain of this tragic battle.

"My dear, this time thanks to you, if it weren't for you to turn the tide, the Great Wei would probably be in an irreparable situation today.

You quickly get up and tell me in detail how you repelled those thieves." The empress's voice trembled slightly.

Fang Yue stood up and reported the battle to the empress in detail.

From the failed interrogation of the shadow assassin, to the attacks on various key locations, to the life-and-death duel with the black robe master, and the whole process of successfully repelling the Demon Shadow Society, nothing was missed.

The empress listened attentively, sometimes showing a nervous look, and sometimes pleased with the heroic performance of the soldiers.

"Your Majesty, the Demon Shadow Society is so fearless this time that they dare to openly attack the imperial city. There must be traitors in the court who provide them with intelligence and support.

I beg your Majesty to allow me to thoroughly investigate this matter and catch all the traitors in one fell swoop." Fang Yue said solemnly.

The empress nodded slightly, with a hint of ruthlessness in her eyes: "This matter will be fully handed over to you, my dear minister.

No matter who is involved, we must not tolerate it. We must make those who betrayed the Wei pay a painful price!"

After receiving the order, Fang Yue immediately launched an investigation.

He first started with the captured Demon Shadow Society assassins and used various means to interrogate them.

Under strong pressure, the assassins finally confessed the names of several officials in the court who colluded with the Demon Shadow Society.

Fang Yue did not dare to delay for a moment and quickly led the soldiers to arrest these officials one by one.

After interrogation, these officials confessed to their crimes.

It turned out that they were tempted by the interests of the Demon Shadow Society and secretly provided it with important information such as the defense map of the imperial city and the deployment of troops, attempting to seek higher status and wealth after the Demon Shadow Society overthrew the Wei Dynasty.

However, Fang Yue always felt that things were not that simple.

Although these officials held high positions, they did not seem to be enough to plan such a large-scale rebellion.

He continued to investigate in depth, not missing any details.

While searching the base of the Demon Shadow Society, Fang Yue found a letter that had not been burned.

The content of the letter was unclear, but it vaguely mentioned a mysterious organization and the cooperation plan between this organization and the Demon Shadow Society.

Fang Yue realized that this might be a bigger conspiracy, and the Demon Shadow Society might just be a pawn of this mysterious organization.

Fang Yue reported this discovery to the empress.

After hearing this, the empress's face became very solemn: "My dear, this matter is of great importance.

What is the origin of this mysterious organization? Why do they want to target our Great Wei? You must find out the truth."

Fang Yue accepted the order again. He knew that this task was arduous and related to the future of Great Wei.

Back to the mansion, Fang Yue did not care about resting, and quickly summoned his most capable advisers and generals to discuss the strategy of investigating the mysterious organization.

"Everyone, the mysterious organization behind the Demon Shadow Club is very hidden. We must proceed step by step, starting from the known clues, and dig deep into the forces behind it." Fang Yue said with a sharp look, scanning everyone.

After thinking for a moment, the adviser Li Yi stood up and said: "General, although we cannot get the specific information of the mysterious organization from that letter, we can be sure that their cooperation with the Demon Shadow Club must have a core interest point.

We might as well start from the past actions of the Demon Shadow Club and its exchanges with various parties, and perhaps we can find a breakthrough point."

Fang Yue nodded slightly, thinking that what Li Yi said made sense.

He immediately arranged for soldiers to conduct a comprehensive investigation of the Demon Shadow Society's bases in various places, leaving no clues.

At the same time, he sent his confidants to secretly monitor some officials in the court who behaved abnormally to prevent them from further colluding with the mysterious organization.

After several days of hard investigation, Fang Yue finally found a key clue.

The Demon Shadow Society had frequently received some people with mysterious identities in a secret base in the south. These people were evasive every time they came and acted very cautiously.

By tracking the whereabouts of these people, Fang Yue found that they finally disappeared in a deep courtyard in the capital.

Fang Yue felt that this courtyard was very suspicious, so he arranged for people to secretly monitor it.

After several days of observation, they found that this courtyard seemed ordinary, but it was actually heavily guarded, and many masters were guarding it in secret.

Fang Yue concluded that this courtyard must be related to the mysterious organization.

After obtaining enough evidence, Fang Yue decided to launch a surprise attack on the compound.

He personally selected an elite force and quietly surrounded the compound under the cover of night.

With an order, the soldiers rushed into the compound like a tide. Although the guards in the compound fought hard, they were quickly subdued by the fierce attack of Fang Yue and others.

In the secret room of the compound, Fang Yue found a large number of letters and documents, which recorded in detail the details of the cooperation between the mysterious organization and the Demon Shadow Society, as well as their complete plan to overthrow the Wei Dynasty.

He found a familiar name in these documents-Prince Zhao Rui.

It turned out that Prince Zhao Rui had been coveting the throne for a long time. He secretly colluded with the Demon Shadow Society and this mysterious organization, trying to use their power to overthrow the empress and ascend the throne himself.

Fang Yue did not dare to delay and immediately led the soldiers to Zhao Rui's palace.

At this time, Zhao Rui was still dreaming of being an emperor in the palace, and did not realize the coming of danger at all.

When Fang Yue led his soldiers into the palace, Zhao Rui panicked, but still tried to resist.

"Fang Yue, you dare to break into my palace, this is a crime of treason!" Zhao Rui shouted fiercely.

Fang Yue snorted coldly: "Zhao Rui, you colluded with the Demon Shadow Society and attempted to overthrow the Wei Dynasty. You have committed treason. Today is your doom!"

After that, Fang Yue led the soldiers to rush forward and subdued Zhao Rui and his followers.

Afterwards, Fang Yue arrested the core members of the mysterious organization one by one based on the clues found in the compound.

After escorting all the criminals back to the palace, Fang Yue knelt on one knee again and reported to the empress:

"Your Majesty, I have captured all the behind-the-scenes culprits who colluded with the Demon Shadow Society, including Prince Zhao Rui. This is the evidence found in their stronghold, please take a look."

The empress took the evidence, read it carefully, and said angrily: "Zhao Rui, as a prince, you enjoy the glory and wealth of the Wei Dynasty, but you have done such a treasonous thing, which is really unforgivable!"

The empress was furious and threw the evidence in her hand to the ground. The hall was suddenly silent, and everyone felt the surging anger of the empress.

"Come here, put Zhao Rui in the death row, and the rest of the accomplices should be severely punished according to the law, and no one should be spared!" The voice of the empress echoed in the hall, revealing unquestionable majesty.

When Zhao Rui was dragged out of the hall by the soldiers, he was still shouting about his grievances, but no one paid attention to his nonsense.

Fang Yue stood aside, watching this scene, feeling mixed emotions.

He knew that although the huge hidden dangers within the Wei Dynasty were successfully uncovered, the trauma suffered by the Wei Dynasty in this rebellion would be difficult to recover in a short period of time.

"Lord Fang, this time thanks to you, you are a hero of the Wei Dynasty."

The empress calmed down, and Fang Yue said, "Now the Demon Shadow Society and the mysterious organization behind it have been severely damaged, but the Wei Dynasty has also been seriously injured.

Do you have any suggestions to help the Wei Dynasty recover as soon as possible and strengthen defense to prevent such incidents from happening again?"

Fang Yue pondered for a moment, stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the top priority is to stabilize the people's hearts.

This rebellion has frightened the people. We need to open the warehouses and release food to help those people who are living in hardship due to the war, so that they can feel the care of the court.

At the same time, the fortifications of the imperial city must be fully repaired and reinforced, patrol forces must be increased, and the early warning mechanism must be improved.

For the army, it must also be rectified and expanded, more outstanding generals must be selected, and the training intensity and combat capabilities of the soldiers must be improved."

The empress immediately approved it.

~~~~~~~~

A month later, under Fang Yue's careful arrangement, the restoration and reconstruction work of the Wei Dynasty was progressing steadily.

The people gradually walked out of the shadow of war and their lives returned to normal; the fortifications of the imperial city were repaired, and the patrolling soldiers guarded every inch of land vigilantly; the rectification and expansion of the army also achieved remarkable results, the soldiers were in high spirits, and their combat effectiveness was increasing day by day.

After handling many affairs, Fang Yue knew the importance of his own strength to protecting the Wei Dynasty, so he decided to practice in seclusion.

He chose a quiet and energetic valley as a place for practice, and ordered his trusted generals to guard the valley entrance strictly to prevent external interference.

Entering the valley, Fang Yue found a natural cave. The cave was quiet and deep, with strands of vitality lingering in it.

Fang Yue sat cross-legged in the center of the cave, closed his eyes and concentrated, and began to sort out his own vitality veins.

He recalled that when he fought against the black-robed master, although he won with the mysterious swordsmanship, the process was extremely dangerous. If it were not for the desperate situation to stimulate his potential, the consequences would be disastrous.

This time, Fang Yue planned to consolidate his existing foundation of vitality first.

He circulated the vitality in his body and slowly moved along the meridians. Every time he passed an acupoint, he could feel the resonance between the vitality and the acupoints.

As the vitality circulated back and forth, he could clearly feel that his strength was gradually increasing and his meridians became more resilient.

While consolidating the foundation, Fang Yue also tried to further comprehend the essence of the Qingfeng Poyun swordsmanship.

He kept replaying the sword moves in the battle with the black-robed master in his mind. Every movement and every use of sword energy were repeatedly pondered by him.

He realized that although the Qingfeng Poyun swordsmanship was known for its speed, accuracy and ruthlessness, the more important thing was to integrate his own perception of the world into the sword moves, so that the sword moves were not only a simple display of force, but also an expression of artistic conception.
