Protagonist:

Jiang Xuan

"Once a person commits a mistake, they ought to receive the punishment they deserve — hands severed if hands should be severed, feet severed if feet should be severed. If someone can commit a crime yet roam free beyond the law, where is the order of this world? How can people still believe in the majesty and fairness that the law embodies?"

Jiang Xuan stood there quietly; not every place is worthy of him personally stepping into it.

At the very least, the Wu Wang Fu at this moment, in his eyes, was nothing more than a den of filth and corruption, far from having the qualification to make him take it seriously.

"No, don't! How dare you strike such a vicious blow, killing the Wu Wang!" someone screamed in terror, the voice sharp and piercing.

"My Lord, spare our lives! We had eyes but failed to recognize Mount Tai; we truly offended you. Please raise your noble hand high and spare us this once! We are willing to serve as oxen and horses, to repay your mercy of not killing us!"

Another person's legs went soft, and with a "thud" he knelt heavily on the ground, knees colliding with the ground, emitting a dull sound.

He kowtowed incessantly, forehead repeatedly touching the ground; before long it was red and swollen, even oozing threads of blood.

Their hearts were filled with fear, a fear like surging tides that completely drowned them. Just now, at the moment the Wu Wang revealed himself, a spark of hope had ignited in their hearts, like seeing a glimmer of dawn in the darkness.

But that spark of hope, under Jiang Xuan's fierce attack, was ruthlessly extinguished in an instant, leaving only endless darkness and despair. The Wu Wang, facing the attack, had not the slightest power to resist, and was easily crushed.

"No need to be afraid; you will all be able to live on."

The corner of Jiang Xuan's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a meaningful light laugh.

The people of the Wu Wang Fu heard these words, and a flash of brightness instantly passed through their eyes, like drowning men clutching at a final life-saving straw.

Indeed, under the Human Emperor's rule, who would dare be so bold as to slaughter half the backbone forces of a Wang Fu?

To act like this in the Huang Du was undoubtedly an open provocation to the entire Shi Guo, a challenge to the Human Emperor's authority.

"Because dying isn't an easy thing either."

The words had just fallen.

Those people only felt a powerful pressure rush at their faces, immediately followed by bursts of miserable screams of pain.

In the blink of an eye, their bodies underwent an astonishing change: originally straight figures became hunched, skin rapidly slackened, covered in wrinkles, as if they had aged several decades in an instant.

The cultivation level within their bodies flowed away like a breached flood, rapidly disappearing without a trace.

Their hair also turned snow-white in an instant, like the dazzling white snow of winter, full heads of weathered vicissitude fully displayed.

Simultaneously, a force tightly bound them, trapping them within the Wang Fu; no matter how they struggled or shouted, they could not step a single half-step out of the Wang Fu.

"Just live on like this; you will keep living until you witness the arrival of that day."

They will not die, yet cannot step half a pace out of the Wu Wang Fu, only able to sit withered in loneliness within this Wang Fu that was once full of glory but now full of despair, waiting for that day to arrive.

Waiting for the day Boy personally comes to the Wu Wang Fu.

At that time, who is the true Supreme will naturally be decided.

No one dared step forward again; even with however much unwillingness and resentment in their hearts, facing Jiang Xuan's aura so powerful it chilled the gall, everyone chose silence and retreat.

"Ah, no, why has my hair turned white!"

"Demon, you're a demon, give me back my lifespan!"

"Spare me..."

Numerous experts stared fixedly at this place, their hearts filled with deep dread toward Jiang Xuan.

If nothing unexpected happens, this mysterious expert who domineeringly descended upon the Wu Wang Fu and effortlessly suppressed everything is most likely at the same level as the Human Emperor, a figure standing at the peak of power and martial force on this Continent.

In Shi Guo, if the Human Emperor doesn't act, who else could suppress such an expert?

And those people in the Wu Wang Fu, decrepit and old, wanting to die but unable to, still imprisoned in the Wang Fu, were all frightened speechless, standing dumbly in place.

Immediately after, someone suddenly burst into heart-rending weeping; that crying voice tore at the heart and split the lungs, yet this was not from repentance, but a desperate venting of their own tragic fate.

"It's over, completely over! We've become like this and are still trapped here; how will we live our days from now on! Oh Heaven, why do you treat us like this!"

Someone collapsed on the ground, hands frantically clawing at the ground, soil covering both hands, wailing in despair.

"Please show some mercy, save us! From now on we'll serve you as oxen and horses, before and behind the saddle, absolutely with no second thoughts!"

Another wept with voice and tears both falling, bitterly pleading, tears and snot mixed together, flowing nonstop down their cheeks, dripping onto the ground.

Having lost the cultivation level they once used to swagger and bully, their bodies also became frail beyond measure; a gentle breeze could blow them over.

Coupled with the despair of being trapped, some people's psychological defenses instantly collapsed completely, their spirits falling to the brink of breakdown.

"Please let us off; we'll never dare again! You are magnanimous, just spare us this once!"

"My Lord, spare our lowly lives! We have elderly above and young below; just take pity on us!"

Many were crying and pleading for mercy, voices rising and falling in succession.

"Still think it's not humiliating enough?" A majestic voice came from within the Huang Gong, penetrating layer upon layer of palace walls, entering every person's ears.

"If you hadn't committed such unforgivable wrongdoing, even if heaven and earth were overturned I would still have protected you! But now, you brought it on yourselves; you have no one to blame but yourselves!"

"The Shi Clan's face has been completely thrown away by you!"

The Shi Huang's final sentence, tone severe, carried obvious reprimand.

The wailing crowd in the Wu Wang Fu instantly fell silent as cold cicadas from fright; the originally clamorous scene fell silent in an instant, as if time itself had frozen.

They heard the Shi Huang's strong displeasure, and knew they had thoroughly lost their last reliance.

Others hearing these words were all greatly shocked.

The Shi Huang actually helped an outsider?

What hidden circumstances are there in this?

What exactly happened in the Wu Wang Fu in the past, to make the Shi Huang express such an attitude?

Preferring to watch the Wu Wang Fu be suppressed rather than intervene to help?

The Shi Huang's words made one fall into deep contemplation.

Protecting those useless people of Wu Wang Fu would turn the world upside down...

This makes one shudder at the thought!

Who exactly is this powerful person who struck Wu Wang Fu?

Why does Shi Huang fear him so?

He is the human emperor of a nation, the most peak figure among the Eight Domains!

But now it seems, Shi Huang also deeply fears this person.

Jiang Xuan glanced deep into Shi Guo Huang Gong, smiled lightly, carrying a hint of disdain.

Then he turned and left, but before departing, Jiang Xuan struck a palm toward another direction of Huang Du.

That was the direction of Yu Wang Fu.

"Boom!"

The huge rumbling sound rose like thunderclaps, spreading throughout Huang Du.

Accompanied by several screams, Yu Wang and several elders of Yu Wang Fu vanished into smoke and dust, as if they had never existed in this world.

Many strong ones remained silent; acting so fiercely within Huang Du, slaying List Array Realm kings was as easy as killing chickens.

Such strength truly makes one tremble with fear.

The human emperor is unwilling to make an enemy of him, although there are obviously hidden circumstances regarding Wu Wang Fu's existence that make the human emperor extremely dissatisfied.

More likely, the human emperor simply has no confidence in defeating this person.

The human emperor dare not oppose him!

Jiang Xuan's expression was calm as water, without a ripple in his eyes, walking toward the city gate.

Sunlight poured down, stretching his figure very long.

At this moment preparing to return to Shi Cun, without a trace of haste or tension around him, as if the heart-stopping battle that had just occurred was merely an insignificant little interlude.

As Jiang Xuan's figure gradually shrank on the skyline until completely hidden, leaving no trace, the thoughts of the crowd, originally stagnant from shock, were like lit firecrackers, instantly exploding with "popping" sounds.

For a while, various questions surged into their minds like a tide.

What unknown events happened in Wu Wang Fu in the past?

These years appeared calm on the surface, but could there be such astonishing secrets hidden in the dark?

Where exactly did this person come from, and what is his background? He is young, yet possesses such unfathomable strength.

He can even make the human emperor hold him in awe; this is truly absurd.

A complete stranger who had never caused a ripple in Shi Guo before actually dared to act so recklessly in Shi Guo Huang Du.

Forcefully stepping into Wu Wang Fu, suppressing them with thunderous might, his methods were fierce and his aura majestic, making one tremble with fear.

Even more shocking is that he beat the Wang, personally appointed by the human emperor, to the point of life or death being unknown.

No matter from which angle or level one considers it, this is undoubtedly a serious provocation against the entire Shi Guo.

It is simply digging on the head of the Grand Year God, a public offense against everyone in Shi Guo.

If this mysterious strong one were from within the Shi clan, it would be barely understandable, after all, relationships within the Shi clan are complex and intricate.

Between families and factions, there are inevitably some interest entanglements and conflicting conflicts; the human emperor might also be constrained by various reasons, such as maintaining the surface harmony within the Shi clan and avoiding greater chaos, making it inconvenient to easily intervene.

But the Shi clan has always valued bloodline inheritance, emphasizes shared breath and connected branches, and holds the belief that blood is thicker than water; how could they commit such evil acts of brother killing brother and harming themselves?

What kind of secret is hidden behind this? Is it a deliberately concealed blood feud, or an earth-shaking conspiracy concerning the future direction of Shi Guo?

It truly makes everyone full of curiosity, scratching their hearts and lungs, eager to push aside the layers of mist and find out the truth.

Shi Huang remained silent from beginning to end, neither stepping forward to stop Jiang Xuan's actions in Huang Du nor expressing any opinion.

This abnormal attitude was like a thick mist, shrouding everyone's minds, and even made some people with active minds who were good at scheming start to become active.

If it were another place, when Jiang Xuan displayed that terrifyingly powerful strength, these forces would probably have swarmed over, their faces full of fawning smiles, racking their brains and trying every means to get close to Jiang Xuan.

They either presented precious treasures or made rich promises, hoping to establish connections and seek some benefits and support for their forces.

However, this is Huang Du, the core of Shi Guo's power; under Shi Huang's eyes, their little thoughts were like mice seeing a cat, only able to be deeply hidden in their hearts, not daring to reveal a bit. They pretended on the surface as if nothing had happened, but inside their hearts they were like ants on a hot pot, constantly calculating.

But now looking again, Shi Huang fears Jiang Xuan to such an extent; perhaps there really are some unknown opportunities hidden within this.

They secretly pondered whether they could take advantage of this chaotic situation to get a share of the pie and seek greater development space for their forces.

When Jiang Xuan returned to Shi Cun, it was afternoon.

The sunlight warmly poured down, passing through the gaps in the branches and leaves, scattering fine light and shadow on the ground.

The whole Shi Cun was immersed in peace and tranquility, only the fluctuations emitted by Boy's cultivation not far away broke this tranquility.

Boy's vital energy surged around him; now he was already Shi Cun's first combat power.

Of course, excluding Jiang Xuan and Willow God.

At present, Boy's cultivation had reached a critical stage.

On his chest, where the Supreme Bone was, faint light flickered, showing obvious signs of regeneration.

The light brightened and dimmed, as if alive, beating rhythmically; an ancient and powerful aura faintly emanated.

Astonishingly, this Supreme Bone was gradually transforming into the form of a furnace.

Its outline slowly became thick, the patterns on its surface were deep and full of mystery, as if to refine all things in heaven and earth and forge everything in the world.

The sharp-eyed Boy noticed the returning Jiang Xuan at once; he was like a black bolt of lightning, quickly flying to Jiang Xuan's side, grabbing Jiang Xuan's sleeve with one hand, and crisply asked: "Master, did you go to Wu Wang Fu?"

Jiang Xuan looked at this clever and cute little fellow before him, feeling happy in his heart.

He lightly picked up Boy, smilingly pinched Boy's chubby face, and praised: "Boy is too smart! Nothing can be hidden from you."

"Master, did you get injured when you went to Wu Wang Fu?"

Boy's face was full of concern, his eyes filled with worry.

Jiang Xuan reached out and touched Boy's head, saying gently: "Don't worry, although your Jiang Master I am only one cultivation realm higher than Wang, dealing with them is more than enough. This time going to Wu Wang Fu, everything went smoothly; I wasn't injured."

The Fellow Daoist Realm is the realm after the Ant Realm, one realm higher than the Ant Realm.

No problem!

"Boy, you must work hard at cultivation."

As Jiang Xuan spoke, he also gently pinched Boy's ear, "I agreed this time at Wu Wang Fu that in the future I would have a showdown with someone, to see who is the true Supreme. If you lose, that would lose your Master's face."

"I definitely won't lose!" Boy waved his little fist.

"Mm, I also believe you won't lose."

Jiang Xuan looked at Boy, full of trust and expectation.

This is a Disciple he watched grow up all the way, how could he possibly lose?

How could the Desolate Heavenly Emperor possibly lose? (Chapter End)
