Chapter 1377

Then, a flying dagger appeared atop the old woman's forehead.

Blood flowed out.

Her figure slowly slumped down.

But the young girl's eyes sparkled with excitement.

Outside Hall 1229

"Father, you've been too weak these past years."

"Today, let you see which of us siblings is stronger!"

After speaking, she rushed forward, lifted the old woman, and dragged her away.

At this moment, the old woman was already unconscious.

But her heart was still beating.

Yet Ximen Wudi had no interest in any of this.

Now he stood outside the grand hall.

Beside him, Wei Zhuang showed utmost reverence.

"Alert the Shadow Guards: set up checkpoints in every commandery and county. I will turn the entire Northern Wasteland into an iron cage."

"Also, establish military camps and fortresses outside the city!"

"In three days, attack Heishuicheng!"

At these words, Wei Zhuang did not dare delay.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Then he withdrew.

And Ximen Wudi turned as well, walking into his own grand hall.

This was his usual resting place.

As soon as he entered, a fragrant breeze brushed his nose.

It was the Jin Wu Sacred Maiden, seated beside the desk.

At this moment, her beautiful eyes sparkled as she spoke.

"What's wrong, Your Majesty?

You seem troubled."

Her tone was exquisitely seductive.

This caused a faint smile to appear in Ximen Wudi's eyes.

"Hah! I've already seized the Northern Wasteland. Now I only need to conquer the Heishi Empire."

"But the Heishui Empire… I always feel uneasy about it."

"Do you have any good suggestions?"

Upon hearing this, the Jin Wu Sacred Maiden smiled.

"My suggestion is simple: send elite experts to strike straight at the heart of the enemy."

"The Heishui Empire's capital will surely send troops to reinforce."

"Then we can take it easily!"

Her voice carried a hint of cunning.

Just after she finished speaking,

Ximen Wudi's eyes gleamed faintly.

Then he spoke.

"Good. Then do as you say."

"Remember: seize the Heishi Empire silently."

"As for the Jin clan, handle it as you see fit."

"But leave one alive."

"I need to learn something!"

"Yes, Your Majesty. Your servant obeys!"

Upon hearing this,

the Jin Wu Sacred Maiden spoke.

Then she returned to her private chambers.

After all, such secrets must be kept tightly.

Then Ximen Wudi entered seclusion.

This time, to break through,

he had exerted tremendous effort.

Within his body, Qi surged like towering waves.

Simultaneously, the celestial and terrestrial energy veins reached their peak.

Most crucially, there was the system-awarded Upgrade Pill.

In short, Ximen Wudi was determined to succeed.

When he opened his eyes,

a ferocious killing intent spread outward.

At this moment, his cultivation reached Ancestor Hongmeng Second Layer.

His combat power was terrifyingly immense.

Then, he set off toward the Black Water Imperial Palace.

Because the Jin Wu Sacred Maiden had already told him.

At this time, within the Black Water Imperial Palace, the Black Water Emperor suppressed all directions.

Therefore, Ximen Wudi naturally would not be courteous.

Moreover, he believed that, given the nature of the Jin Wu Sacred Maiden.

She certainly would not deceive him.

Indeed, when he arrived outside the Black Water Imperial Palace.

In a magnificent and imposing hall.

A man radiating a cruel and sinister aura was drinking wine.

Beside him, several guards stood watch.

And each of them possessed considerable cultivation.

They were none other than a group of Ancestor Hongmeng cultivators.

Yet, as he was drinking wine.

Ximen Wudi spoke calmly.

"Capture him!"

"Roar!"

Upon hearing the order, Cao Zhengchun showed not the slightest hesitation.

The matter of the 1230 Heishuisheng Sect

He swung his dust whisk.

In an instant.

A streak of light slashed through the void.

Straight toward the Black Water Emperor.

"Boom!"

The speed was too fast; the opponent could not even react.

His head was instantly shattered.

Then, Cao Zhengchun followed Ximen Wudi into the palace.
