2024-07-12 01:00:33In Wuyu City, a large city of the Ming Dynasty, its ruler was the Wang kingdom. However, the current king did not bear the Wang surname but instead bore the surname Xiao. The current king was Xiao Jian, the son-in-law of the previous Wang king. Xiao Jian's wife was the eldest daughter of the previous Wang king. Now, Xiao Jian, along with his wife and son, were surrounded by generals of the Wang kingdom itself, assisted by influential figures from other forces.
Xiao Jian stood with his wife, Wangmei, while behind them was their seven-year-old son, Xiao Tian. “Xiao Jian, now I will take your life and also the lives of your wife and son. I will take the throne that rightfully belongs to me!” The person speaking was Wang Chong, the younger brother of Wangmei. But now, the brother she loved most was rebelling, daring even to kill everyone loyal to Xiao Jian. “Brother Wang Chong, why are you doing this? If you want the throne, I won’t hesitate to give it all to you. After all, I do not desire the throne. I have only been governing and waiting for you to come of age. Once you are of age, I will give it to you,” Xiao Jian said firmly to his brother-in-law. “Ha ha ha,” Wang Chong laughed heartily. “Xiao Jian, don’t be naive. Do you think I’m a fool? Who wants to step down from the throne after feeling comfortable in that position? No one! I cannot allow you to step down with an unwilling heart. I will eliminate all of you!” Wangmei, Wang Chong’s older sister, was very disappointed with her brother’s actions. “Wang Chong, now let your sister go! I promise not to interfere with your rule in Wuyu City.” “Ha ha ha, forgive your brother, Sister; I cannot let you go,” Wang Chong replied, then looked at all his troops who had already slaughtered all of Xiao Jian’s loyal followers. “Kill them all!” he ordered with a fierce face. Thousands of kingdom soldiers in armor, led by the kingdom’s generals, surrounded Xiao Jian and his son. “You three must die! You are not worthy to lead the Wang kingdom!” Everyone ran, dragging their weapons. Xiao Jian, Wangmei, and their son Xiao Tian were attacked from all directions. “Kill!” “Kill!” The sound of footsteps rumbled, shaking the earth. Seeing so many troops coming from all directions, Xiao Jian looked at them with a murderous gaze. “Mei’er, protect our son; I will clear a path so you can escape,” Xiao Jian said in a heavy voice. “My husband, I cannot leave you to die alone. If you want to die, we will die together,” Wangmei said firmly, without fear, facing the thousands of troops that were getting closer. Wangmei saw one of the imperial members of the Ming Dynasty. But unfortunately, the person from the Ming Dynasty just sat and watched without caring about them. “No! If you and Tian’er die, no one will seek justice for us. But if you survive, you can seek justice for me and my people who died at their hands!” Xiao Jian drew a jet-black sword. Then he raised his sword. “Kill!” Without waiting for Wangmei’s response, Xiao Jian tied his wife and son with his inner energy; then, he ran towards the troops before him. He channeled his inner energy into the sword with great force, then slashed it fiercely. Xiao Jian was like a rampaging beast; every time he swung his sword, several heads were decapitated. However, even though the number of enemies was large, several stabs and slashes had already wounded him. Clang ~~~~ Clang ~~~~ The sound of weapons clashing continued. “Don’t let him escape!” Wang Chong shouted from afar. “Your Majesty need not worry; no one will leave this place. The three of them will die!” The kingdom general responded confidently. Shot ~~~~ A weapon pierced Xiao Jian’s chest. However, Xiao Jian did not scream; he became more ferocious and terrifying. Plof, plof, plof …. Xiao Jian decapitated several heads. He continued running while killing anyone who blocked his path. After killing many people, Xiao Jian finally broke free from the siege of many troops. However, though he had succeeded, many troops were still chasing him. His body was full of wounds, continuously bleeding. His once pristine white robe turned red from the flowing fresh blood. Finally, Xiao Jian stopped running. “My wife, you must take Tian’er and leave Wuyu City, go as far as possible, and remember, it was your brother, our child’s uncle, who did all this. You must avenge my death!” “My husband, no! I will stay here with you! We will live and die together!” Wangmei did not want to leave her husband, who was already pale from losing so much blood. “No, you must live. Go!” Xiao Jian threw his wife and son away. Then he turned and faced the Wang clan general and all his troops. “I will slaughter you all.” Xiao Jian leaped while swinging his sword. Now, he no longer held back his inner energy. As a level 6 royal warrior, Xiao Jian’s cultivation was relatively high. At the same time, the Wang clan general was only a level-four royal warrior. But he had the advantage of numbers. Shoott ~~~~ Xiao Jian slashed his sword, and the sword energy shot out at high speed. “Aah!” The pitiful cries continued. Many members of the Wang clan had their bodies sliced in two. Shoott ~~~ Plof …. “Brother-in-law, I can no longer let you live!” “Cough, cough, cough!” Xiao Jian stood still, continuously coughing up blood. He saw a poison-laced sword piercing through his body; even his heart had been destroyed. Wang Chong had appeared behind Xiao Jian and stabbed him directly. “No... Father!”

Xiao Tian smiled as he watched that. He did not look disturbed because Gong Liechen was saved. His smile instead seemed to signal that the action did not change anything at all. He tightened his grip, then began to channel his soul power into the golden spear. Xiao Tian did not hide what he was doing. He did not try to do it secretly. On the contrary, he let everyone see clearly that the next step was not just holding the weapon, but taking full ownership. Flop! Gong Liechen immediately vomited blood. The blood came out just like that, without being able to be held back. A very clear sign for anyone who understood artifacts, that the soul trace he had left in the golden spear had been forcibly erased by Xiao Tian. The reaction appeared so quickly that the surrounding atmosphere fell silent for a moment. Gong Liechen did not only lose his weapon. He lost the bond. The bond that had kept the artifact obedient, the bond that was proof of ownership. In front of everyone's e
Chapter 1425
For those who lived under the palace's rules, that weapon was not just a battle tool. It was a symbol. A symbol of legitimacy, a symbol of power, a symbol that Gong Liechen stood above millions of other beings in his domain. Losing it in public was the same as tearing apart Gong Liechen's dignity, then stepping on it without hesitation. Yet what made the atmosphere even more suffocating was the fact that the weapon was treated like an ordinary object. Not seized with victory cries, not praised as a rare treasure, but used as a comparison with wine jars. That one sentence alone was enough to make the faces of several Elders present tense up. They clearly saw how the line that had been maintained by all parties, even in open conflict, was stepped on just like that without the slightest doubt. He even wanted to sell it to buy ten jars of wine. This was not just an insult. This was the greatest insult that could be thrown at Gong Liechen and the Eastern Sea Palace in front of tw

The presence of the spear immediately changed many people's way of seeing things. Some of Huixing's group members held their breath, because they understood that an artifact like that was not a weapon taken out for empty posturing. For many cultivators, facing such an artifact meant facing power that could decide life and death in one breath. Yet just as the spear was about to hit Xiao Tian, Xiao Tian immediately grabbed its tip, and swung the spear. The movement happened so naturally, so precisely, as if the direction of Gong Liechen's attack had already been in his calculation from the start. The catch happened at the point that most made Gong Liechen lose control. Xiao Tian did not hold the spear at the handle, instead he grabbed its tip, making the attack direction change drastically at once. In one movement, the spear turned from a stabbing tool into a tool to throw the body still holding it. Immediately Gong Liechen's body, still holding the spear handle, was als

While they were still talking, Xiao Tian stretched out both hands and yawned. The movement happened without haste, like someone who had just woken up from a light sleep. Xiao Tian did not speed up his breathing, did not straighten his standing position as if he was facing three great palaces. Instead, he made a relaxed movement, as if the conversation in front was no more important than his rest time. Behind him, Huixing and the others remained standing, yet they held back from moving without orders. Some of them held their breath, because Xiao Tian's too-relaxed attitude actually made the tension feel heavier. Then he closed his mouth. “First Prince, are you done discussing? If not, go ahead. Maybe I can sleep a little here to rest for a bit.” The tone was not seeking safety. The way Xiao Tian chose his words made his insult feel clear, but he said it without standing straighter or adding pressure. He only waited, as if what he saw in front of him was just a group of people
Chapter 1422
Huixing smiled bitterly as he stared at everyone around him. The smile was not born from relief, but from the awareness of the situation they were facing. “It seems we're in big trouble. Are you scared?” Huixing did not ask to weaken them, but to measure them. He looked at the faces that had grown together over time, that had already gone through pressure and battles in the Eternal Era world, wanting to make sure they did not waver just because the enemy they faced was bigger than usual. Ding Wu immediately answered without hesitation. “The Eastern Sea Palace is indeed the true ruler, all people from the Primal Chaos Realm must obey it. Yet I am not a slave of the Eastern Sea Palace, and for the sake of the commander, I don't mind if I have to die.” Ding Wu did not look left or right as he spoke. He answered like someone who had weighed his words for a long time, not because of a momentary emotion, but because that choice had already been accepted in his heart. Some people ne
Chapter 1421
Xiao Tian deliberately did not press them using pressure power. Because he kept his aura from leaking out. That way, no one there would know his cultivation realm. That choice made the situation feel strange for the newly arrived party. They could see forty-eight people trapped in the air and on the ground, but they did not catch the pressure that usually accompanies such a lock. This made some parties have to observe more carefully, because the way Xiao Tian hid information about himself was clearly visible. Seeing his members trapped by Xiao Tian, Gong Liechen shouted in anger. “Xiao Tian, your courage is too great. Do you know the consequences of what you're doing?” Gong Liechen stood at the front line, his gaze sharp towards Xiao Tian. His aura stirred slightly, though he held it back from overflowing immediately. Behind him, the two princes from the other palaces did not cut in immediately. They let Gong Liechen speak first, as if wanting to see how Xiao Tia
