Ying Yuan took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart. He understood that Donghuang Taiyi's purpose was not just to get rid of Li Ji and her child, but to weaken his power and achieve the goal of controlling Daqin.
"Moon God," Ying Yuan said coldly, "I spare your life because I remember that you have served the Qin Dynasty for many years. However, you can escape the death penalty, but you cannot escape the punishment of living."
He ordered his men to imprison the Moon Goddess, then turned and left, his eyes flashing with cold murderous intent. He swore that he would make Donghuang Taiyi pay the price!
Ying Yuan came to Li Ji's bedroom alone, looking at the empty room, his heart was filled with sorrow and regret. He thought of every moment he spent with Li Ji, her gentle smile, her clear eyes, and his heart was like a knife.
"Li Ji..." Ying Yuan murmured softly, tears silently sliding down his cheeks.
He walked to Li Ji's bedside and gently stroked the bedding, as if he could still feel Li Ji's body temperature. He picked up Li Ji's favorite piece of clothing when she was alive, put it to the tip of his nose and sniffed it gently. A faint fragrance came, which made him even more heartbroken.
"Li Ji, don't worry, I will definitely avenge you!" Ying Yuan clenched his fists, with a determined light flashing in his eyes.
He understood that he could no longer indulge in sorrow. He had to cheer up. For Li Ji and Da Qin, he had to become stronger!
In the following days, Ying Yuan worked hard to govern the country, rectified the government, strengthened the military, and the national strength of Daqin became increasingly strong.
At the same time, he also secretly investigated the conspiracy of Donghuang Taiyi and the Yin-Yang family, preparing to catch them all in one fell swoop.
One day, Ying Yuan received a secret report that Donghuang Taiyi would hold a sacrificial ceremony in the forbidden area of Yang Yin and Yang School - Mirage, attempting to use the secret techniques of Yin and Yang School to control the dragon veins of Daqin and thus control the entire Daqin.
After Ying Yuan learned about this, he immediately summoned all the generals to discuss the plan to attack Mirage.
"Your Majesty, the Mirage is the forbidden area of the Yin-Yang family. It is full of traps and is easy to defend but difficult to attack. We must be fully prepared." Meng Tian said in a deep voice.
"That's right," Wang Jian also echoed, "The strength of the Yin-Yang family should not be underestimated. We must not underestimate the enemy."
Ying Yuan nodded and said, "I already have a plan. This time I will personally lead the army to attack Mirage and I will make sure to capture Donghuang Taiyi and Yinyang Family in one fell swoop!"
Upon hearing this, all the generals expressed their support.
Ying Yuan immediately gave orders to mobilize the army and prepare to attack Mirage.
A world-shaking battle is about to begin...
At the same time, above the mirage, Donghuang Taiyi was standing on a high platform, overlooking the turbulent sea below, with a strange light flashing in his eyes.
"Everything is ready. When the time is right, we can activate the forbidden technique of the Yin-Yang School, control the dragon veins of the Qin Dynasty, and take control of the world!" Donghuang Taiyi said in a low voice, his tone full of confidence and ambition.
The Moon Goddess behind him looked at Donghuang Taiyi's back with complicated eyes, her heart filled with anxiety and fear. She didn't know where Donghuang Taiyi's plan would eventually lead Daqin...
The sea breeze was fierce, rolling up thousands of waves and hitting the base of the mirage, making a deafening roar. The mirage towered into the clouds, like a fairy mountain floating on the sea, mysterious and strange.
Ying Yuan, wearing a black dragon-patterned battle robe, stood on the deck of the ship, looking at the mirage in the distance, his eyes flashing with a cold light. Behind him were the Qin cavalry, with their battle flags fluttering and murderous intent.
"Your Majesty, there seems to be a magic spell set up around the mirage, and our ships cannot get close." Meng Tian stepped forward to report.
Ying Yuan snorted coldly, "How can a mere trick stop my army!" He drew the sword from his waist and pointed it at the mirage, "Pass the order, the whole army is ready to attack!" The drums beat, the horns blew, and the soldiers of the Qin Dynasty rushed towards the mirage like a tide. However, when they approached the mirage, they found that everything in front of them had changed. The originally calm sea suddenly became turbulent, and a huge whirlpool appeared out of thin air, swallowing the approaching ships.
"What's going on?" Ying Yuan frowned, with an ominous premonition in his heart.
"Your Majesty, this is an illusion of the Yin-Yang School!" Wang Jian exclaimed.
Before he finished speaking, countless huge sea monsters suddenly appeared on the sea, rushing towards the Qin army with their fangs and claws bared. These sea monsters were not real creatures, but illusions controlled by the Yin-Yang School sorcerers.
"Playing tricks!" Ying Yuan shouted angrily, swinging his sword to cut a sea monster. The sword flashed, and the sea monster instantly disappeared, but more sea monsters came from all directions, as if endless.
The Qin soldiers fought bravely, but faced with these imaginary enemies, they seemed powerless. Many soldiers were dragged into the sea by sea monsters, and no trace of their bodies was left.
"Your Majesty, we can't go on like this. We must find a way to break the Yin-Yang family's illusion!" Meng Tian said anxiously.
Ying Yuan took a deep breath and suppressed his anxiety. He knew that now was not the time to panic. He closed his eyes and carefully felt the surrounding atmosphere, trying to find the flaw in the illusion.
Suddenly, he felt a strange energy fluctuation. This energy fluctuation was extremely weak, but unusually stable, as if it was the source of the illusion.
Ying Yuan suddenly opened his eyes and looked towards the highest point of the mirage. There, a figure in a black robe was standing on a high platform, holding a crystal ball in his hand and muttering something.
"Donghuang Taiyi!" Ying Yuan said gritting his teeth.

He finally found the source of the illusion. As long as he got rid of Donghuang Taiyi, he could break the illusion and turn the tide of the battle.
"Meng Tian, Wang Jian, you lead the army to continue resisting. I will go to meet Donghuang Taiyi!" After Ying Yuan said this, he jumped and flew towards the mirage.
On the mirage, Donghuang Taiyi sensed Ying Yuan's arrival and sneered, "Ying Yuan, you are finally here."
"Donghuang Taiyi, you have killed loyal people and brought chaos to the court. Today, I will enforce justice on the behalf of heaven and bring you to justice!" Ying Yuan shouted angrily.
"Hahaha, just you?" Donghuang Taiyi laughed, "Do you think you can defeat me? You are too naive!"
The crystal ball in his hand shone brightly, the illusion around the mirage became more real, and the sea monster became more ferocious.
Ying Yuan was not afraid and swung his sword at Donghuang Taiyi. Donghuang Taiyi was not to be outdone and swung the crystal ball in his hand to start a fierce battle with Ying Yuan.
The two men fought back and forth with swords flying everywhere. The buildings on the mirage collapsed one after another, as if the end of the world had come.
At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared behind Ying Yuan and slapped him on the back.
Ying Yuan was caught off guard and was hit by the palm. Blood spurted out of his mouth and his body flew backwards.
"Your Majesty!" Meng Tian and Wang Jian exclaimed upon seeing this and rushed forward.
Ying Yuan struggled to stand up, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and looked at the person who attacked him, his eyes full of shock and anger. (End of this chapter)
