Wu Xiao Shi flew at full speed, he didn't stop when he passed through the capital's gates. And continued to speed without stopping towards the palace whose gates were still tightly closed.

From that height, Wu Xiao Shi could still see the bodies left scattered in the palace grounds.

Swoosh! The young man came down and slipped, seeing a guard walking alone. Wu Xiao Shi caught him and covered his mouth, then delivered a death blow. Then he took the guard's clothes and put them on himself.

Finished with his disguise, the young man headed to prison, because basically anyone would be imprisoned even if they were innocent if they opposed someone in power.

Sets sets sets! three sword slashes were immediately released, before they screamed.

Descend the stairs which have almost fifty steps. Wu Xiao Shi took the torch. The prison was very dark even though it was still bright outside with the sun hanging as proof. perhaps because of the depth of the prison itself and the lack of lighting, making

    Bam!Wu Xiao Shi shifted just in time. If he had stayed even a second longer, he would have been flung far away. The power of his opponent was far beyond what he could currently contend with.Meanwhile, Song Yang, who had regained his strength, fought against several of Jiang Fa’s subordinates. Despite facing five opponents at the peak of the Earth King realm, he still managed to hold his ground.With a diagonal leap, Song Yang swung the long sword in his hand.Slash! One enemy fell. Song Yang swiftly moved in a zigzag pattern, taking advantage of the opening created by his first strike. He lunged at two enemies flanking him, slashing with his sword while delivering a high kick.Though his sword strikes were parried, his kicks were not.Thud... Thud... Ugh!Anger seemed to awaken something within Song Yang.Two opponents remained standing, readying themselves to counterattack. They assumed their most solid stances and unleashed their signature techniques.“Killer Cobra!” one shouted,

    Wu Xiao Shi removed his warrior's armor, which felt cumbersome. Wiping the blood from the corner of his lips, he soared into the sky. With a swift movement of his hands, he threw several flags into the four cardinal directions, creating a Restriction Formation to trap Jiang Fa and Emperor Ming. This time, he poured immense spiritual energy into the formation to subdue his enemies.However, before the formation could fully activate, Jiang Fa struck first. The attack sent Wu Xiao Shi flying, slamming hard into the ground.Emperor Ming laughed heartily. Though he was no match for Wu Xiao Shi himself, with Jiang Fa by his side, he had nothing to fear. It was evident now that the young man was nothing more than a plaything for the half-mad warrior."If only my realm had reached the Sky Realm, this fight might have been easier. But the gap between our cultivation levels is an insurmountable barrier limiting my power," Wu Xiao Shi muttered, clenching his fists and pounding the ground in frus

    The sun began to set, and all the corpses had been gathered and burned. They prayed according to their beliefs. Not long after, everyone dispersed on their own, as darkness had marked the end of their activities. The world was indeed cruel, even to good and powerful people. A deep sorrow lingered, and this separation felt unimaginable. "I truly… I never hoped we would part like this," Song Yang sobbed in the darkness of his chamber, unable to accept the loss of his beloved wife. Meanwhile, Wu Xiao Shi was organizing a group to protect the emperor. Nearly all the soldiers had perished—a pity, as many of them had just been newly recruited. "What should I do to keep this empire safe if I leave? Will the Long Empire attack as well? Or will they realize that greed benefits no one?" the young man muttered to himself. He sat alone after giving instructions to the volunteer citizens willing to help. However, he ensured they were compensated—using someone's labor without providing anything

    The guards allowed him to enter without objection because he came with Prince Ming. Though it seemed odd, they didn’t question it further.Wu Xiao Shi seated himself on the Ming Emperor’s throne. By doing so, he was essentially treating the Ming Empire as a joke.Many people hurried to the hall—high-ranking officials, along with all the princes and princesses of the Ming Emperor. They were furious to see someone sitting on the sacred throne, a place they believed only the noble and rightful Emperor should occupy.“Get down from there, you fool! That’s not your place!” an elderly man with a beard and mustache shouted. He was Ming Cheong, the warlord tasked with safeguarding the empire. The throne was his responsibility, and anyone disrespecting it would face his wrath. To him, his life and death were dedicated to the Ming Empire.The young man remained seated, leaning back casually as he cleaned his nails, ignoring the shouting. His eyes glanced around but didn’t spot Ming Rui. Then, h

    "You will never escape me, Ming Rui. Your life was destined to end at my hands. For a moment, I thought of letting you go, but you have committed an unforgivable sin."Wu Xiao Shi stretched out his hand, grabbing Ming Rui’s long hair. "Is this how you pulled the hair of my woman?" He yanked hard, pulling Ming Rui’s head back, causing him to grimace in pain. "Remember, this is karma brought upon yourself by your own hands. Let me break them so you'll never forget your sins.""Pl-please don’t!" Ming Rui panicked, clearly unwilling to lose his hands. "I know I was wrong! Forgive me!" He begged, kneeling, trying to bow, but Wu Xiao Shi’s grip on his hair held him in place.With his left hand, Wu Xiao Shi formed a fiery claw and grabbed Ming Rui’s right hand. A scream echoed through the chamber as the young man ruthlessly tore it off.Krezz!! "Aaaaaargh! It hurts!" Ming Rui sobbed uncontrollably, tears flowing as he stared at his severed hand, which was callously discarded to the side.Wu

    Even though the Emperor of Ming roared with a full-throated scream, it wouldn't change the fact that what lay before his eyes was the severed head of his youngest son.Tears streamed down his face, indescribable and filled with anguish. For a parent, the happiness of their child is a sacred duty. Yet, sometimes parents choose the wrong path, leading only to misery and suffering."It's not just this," Wu Xiao Shi began coldly. "Your entire lineage and palace have been destroyed by my hands. The Ming Empire now has no name, no ruler, and will become easy prey for others who want to take it over. But perhaps no one will dare touch it—do you know why? Because I've left the mark of the Song Empire on it."Wu Xiao Shi pulled a chair, sat down, and stared at the now pathetic Emperor of Ming."Just kill me now!" the Emperor shouted again, his voice a mix of rage and despair. But Wu Xiao Shi remained indifferent, smirking coldly."Your death is not mine to give," Wu Xiao Shi said firmly. "It i

    Ling knelt down, she handed him another ring that was given to him in payment for the designed clothes. But Song Hye immediately refused by saying, "we pay what we need and don't refuse what we want to pay!" After that, Song Hye and Wu Xiao Shi didn't pay attention to Ling anymore, they left while waving their hands.

That moment arrived. Then economic and trade routes will improv

    A beautiful night full of moans from two people tasting each other. Sweat drenched, dripping all over his body. Ugh! The sound of their bodies ended their journey in sailing the ark, their path had reached the peak of worldly pleasure... "Thank You!" Wu Xiao Shi said while kissing his wife's forehead, who immediately fell asleep because she was so tired. Because tonight they did it for a long and long duration. Fortunately, before they had husband and wife relations, Wu Xiao Shi had sealed the room, so that they couldn't hear from outside what they were doing. If it weren't for that, there would definitely be ears stuck to the walls, eyes peeking through the gaps... A week later. Wu Xiao Shi said goodbye to Song Yang by taking Song Hye to visit the place where the owner of the body was born. It was in the Ming empire. Ming Clan, even though its Clan name was the same as the name of the empire itself, there was no connection at all according to Ming Zan's memories. "You always be

    No matter how long the night lasts, daylight will eventually come.As the sun nearly reached its zenith, all the remaining high officials of the Jing Empire were gathered. Several new faces had replaced the old officials—those who had either betrayed the kingdom or died in the struggle.Everyone sat in neat rows, listening closely to Wu Xiaoshi as he explained the progress of the new empire.Now seated beside him was Song Hye, his Empress. A woman of remarkable beauty, she was also known as the imperial princess of the Song Empire.The name of the empire had been changed to the Shi Empire, and everyone welcomed this change without opposition.

    Wen Li could not be underestimated, for she was not someone who would easily fall in battle. She dodged to the left when Wu Xiaoshi’s strike came from the right, thrusting her flexible sword.Clang! Clang! The sound of clashing blades echoed.Their blades met countless times, but what confused Wen Li was why the young man before her remained unaffected by the poison on her sword.Seeing her puzzled expression, Wu Xiaoshi swung his sword harder than before, forcing Wen Li to retreat.“Did you really think a toy poison like that could affect my body? You’re too naive!”His provocative words stung Wen Li, making her face flush with frustration.“Death Poison Physique…” Wen Li muttered softly. A bluish-purple glow radiated from her body, covering every inch of her skin. No normal flesh remained—her whole body seemed to be poison. What would happen if someone touched her?Wu Xiaoshi grew serious. He knew the level of this poison could exceed the speed of his internal healing.He jumped bac

    "It seems there will be turmoil in the palace," all the soldiers thought to themselves upon hearing that Emperor Wu Xiaoshi was going to meet Prince Jing Lung. However, none of them dared to object. They all lowered their weapons and escorted Wu Xiaoshi and his wife toward the grand hall of the palace.Inside the grand hall, laughter echoed. It came from several individuals who were delighted with their success in reclaiming the imperial palace."I am truly grateful for the help Patriarch Wen Li has provided in taking back this palace," Jing Lung said with a calm gaze toward Wen Li. He knew full well that without offering a city as a reward, a cunning man like Wen Li would never have agreed to help.Wen Li was a powerful figure, infamous for his expertise in poisons. As the patriarch of the Poison Sect—a sect focused solely on poison research—he was capable of poisoning the very air with his breath. Terrifying, indeed. With cultivation at the peak of the Heaven Realm, few dared to app

    "That means cultivation will progress faster if one cultivates within the soul world, isn't that right?" Wu Xiaoshi saw hope. He asked that because he wanted to bring Song Hye to the upper realm. He had thought it through, but the challenge lay in how to form it. According to the theory he had read, the soul world allowed everything to be placed there through imagination alone."You're absolutely right about that. The problem is how you create it and what kind of world you want. You already have a soul space—that is the foundation for forming a soul world, like the one I currently reside in. This could also be called a soul world, only smaller. So, you must train harder in the arts of space and time found within the Scroll of Heavenly Seals. By mastering those two techniques, you'll clearly be able to create a larger space, hence forming a soul world. Meanwhile, time is needed to regulate that world itself. But those skills are not limited to just that. There are many things you can d

    After spending three days and three nights in the room with his wife Song Hye without stepping out even once, the young man was finally seen by the guards that night.Wu Xiaoshi approached one of the guards and inquired about Uncle Jing’s condition.“The family steward is currently in his room. If the Patriarch wishes to see him, I can call him for you!”“I’ll go myself. Stay here and keep a good watch.” Wu Xiaoshi handed the guard a few gold coins and walked away.“Thank you, young Patriarch. May fortune always favor you!” said the guard.When he reached Uncle Jing’s room, Wu Xiaoshi called out. Even though he owned the entire residence, he still upheld manners and respected others’ privacy.“Uncle Jing, I’m here to visit!” he announced at the door.Not long after, the door opened, revealing a still-sturdy-looking man. He was shirtless, with a white cloth wrapped around his upper body.“Young master could’ve called me, and I would’ve come to you,” said Uncle Jing.“No need, I’m alrea

    When everyone heard that statement, a commotion stirred in their hearts. Clearly, those on the hill were greatly shocked. When the young man spoke loudly—With such an identity, he could already be considered the ruler of the three empires. With that kind of power, who would dare to offend the Young Patriarch of the Ming Clan? Only a fool like Feng Hao would dare do such a thing, thought the people on the hill.The six people lowered their heads and felt utterly foolish."Forgive us, Emperor! I, on behalf of the entire Hidden Feng Clan, offer our apologies.""I don’t think an apology is enough. I want you to swear an oath to me that you will serve as guardians of the Ming Clan and the Ming Empire that I will soon take over. I intend to unite the three empires and become the young emperor who rules them all.""I am willing to swear the oath," one of them responded, followed by the other five."Very well then. I will go with you to the Feng Clan to ensure that everyone submits to my rul

    None of the residents of Sacred Stone City who had previously left truly returned home when they saw a large group approaching Chu Long’s residence. One by one, they returned, gathering in small groups on a hill slightly further from the residence. From there, they could still observe the battle taking place between the young patriarch of the Ming Clan and the patriarch of the Feng Clan. Two men of different generations, experience, and cultivation levels were clashing in a fierce aerial duel.Flashes of energy darted in every direction, causing violent tremors. The earth shook, trees collapsed, and the air exploded with pressure waves. All of it was the result of stray attacks and the violent collision of powerful energies.Before the battle began, Wu Xiaoshi had already sealed Feng Hao into the ground. No one could break the seal, even when working together. Each time they struck it, a surge of lightning energy would lash out, numbing their hands despite the small scale.Wu Xiaoshi

    In a place so well hidden, surrounded by towering mountains, lay a region spanning a hundred square kilometers. Thick forests blanketed the land.A lone figure stood atop a tall tower — a watchtower, to be precise. His eyes caught sight of fireworks lighting up in a distant city. That city was known as the Sacred Stone City, where Young Master Feng was currently visiting to seek support.“This is bad… it seems Young Master Feng Hao is in danger!”The man on the tower immediately took flight, using his speed to maneuver sharply and descend perfectly.“Report to Patriarch Feng Dalo that Young Master Feng Hao is calling for aid!”The guard rushed into the residence of the Patriarch, who was at that moment in the middle of a discussion with several elders of the Feng Clan. They were making plans to seize what remained of the imperial palace and establish a new empire under their rule.Suddenly, a knock interrupted their meeting. Feng Dalo signaled for one of his men to open the door.The

    Wu Xiaoshi narrowed his eyes, staring at a man who was neither too old nor could be considered young. He didn’t recognize the man, and this was their first encounter. Then why did this person want to kidnap his wife?‘If he knew who he was trying to take, he wouldn’t have dared. This guy must have no idea who I really am—or who my wife truly is. Otherwise, he’d be pissing himself.’ Wu Xiaoshi said inwardly."As the young master of the Feng Clan, I have the right to desire and obtain anything I want—whoever it may be! And as the future prince of the Ming Empire, I command you: leave your wife and disappear from this empire. Then you may live," Feng Hao declared arrogantly, looking down on Wu Xiaoshi. Everyone around them fell silent, not daring to comment.Only Wu Xiaoshi laughed at him. “You sure have guts, trying to claim this empire as your own. Did you ask me first? And you want to take my wife? Is it because of those two behind you? Or because your family has many powerful cultiva
