Chapter 1147
The news of Wei Shi's death spread to the Wu Kingdom's palace and caused a huge uproar.
The killer was Zi Chen. This news came along with Wei Shi's death.
The ministers in the palace were all cultivators, not a single one of them was a mortal. They knew better than anyone else what Zi Chen's name meant. It represented a legend of a generation. Hearing this name, everyone fell into silence.
The arrogant words of the ministers, the insults of dignity, and the like, could no longer be heard.
Zi Chen's name was like a mountain pressing down on their hearts. The atmosphere was very tense.
The Wu Kingdom's Emperor finally arrived. His clothes were untidy and his hair was messy. He had just arrived in the palace. It was obvious that he had rushed here after hearing the news.
When he reached the palace, he roared in anger, "Why? Who can tell me why? Zi Chen is the leader of the Wuji Sect. Even the Five Elements are wary of him. Why would he go to Connecticut to kill someone and wipe out the entire Wei Clan?"
"Why? Tell me why. Why did he give the five Mortal Realm cultivators a chance to talk but not Wei Shi?"
The angry roar lasted for a long time. Everyone thought that the Emperor was venting because he felt guilty about Wei Shi's death. In reality, he was afraid. He was afraid that Zi Chen would suddenly kill him. Of course, he was also very sad that his good brother Wei Shi had died because of his carelessness.
After a long time, the angry roar disappeared. The Wu Kingdom's Emperor's emotions slowly returned to normal.
An official walked up and recounted the events from beginning to end.
When the Wu Kingdom's Emperor heard this, his mouth twitched. Zi Chen's female friends were not weak. They were all as beautiful as fairies. There were many people in the world who had their eyes on them. However, even the Spiritual Bodies of the major forces did not dare to have such thoughts.
But who would have thought that while Zi Chen was training, there would be an idiot at the True Energy Realm who would be so bold as to have such thoughts. And because of this True Energy Realm cultivator, the Wei Clan fell into an irredeemable situation. Even the Wu Country that he governed and the Emperor himself were in danger of losing their lives.
Fortunately, Zi Chen was not a bloodthirsty person. When the news came, Zi Chen was still waiting in Kingstown for someone to stand up for the Wei family.
"Stand out? Stand out my ass. That Wei Clan almost harmed the Wu Country."
A cold light flashed in the Wu Emperor's eyes as he said coldly, "Since the cause of this matter has been investigated, the Wei Clan has offended Zi Chen and put the Wu Kingdom in danger. Naturally, we cannot let them off so easily."
The ministers below did not understand the Emperor's meaning. They thought that since the Wei Clan had been destroyed and all the cultivators had died, this should not be a light mercy.
"This Zi Chen is really something. If he wanted to exterminate the entire clan, he could have just killed them all. Why did he have to leave some alive? What is the meaning of this?"
The hearts of the ministers trembled.
The Wu Emperor continued, "Because of these ant-like mortals, we have suffered huge losses."
"Leave no one from the Wei Clan alive."
With that, the Emperor returned to the harem angrily. Before long, the corpse of the Wei Clan's concubine was carried out by a few eunuchs.
That day, the news from the royal family reached Kingstown and the City Lord's residence. The City Lord found the leaders of the various factions to convey the royal family's secret order.
That night, many men in black appeared in Kingstown. They rushed into the Wei Clan and their properties. They killed everyone they saw and wantonly massacred.
That night, there was no moon or stars in the sky above Kingstown. Kingstown was very dark and very quiet. Mournful screams broke the silence of the night, but no one in the city came out to investigate. Everyone seemed to have become deaf in an instant.
This was the clearest statement from the royal family.
The night passed uneventfully. The next morning, when the sun rose, Connecticut City returned to its original state. Everyone from the Wei Clan disappeared overnight. The Wei Clan's resources were also absorbed and divided by various factions overnight. The Wei Clan of Connecticut City was also removed from Connecticut City overnight.
Walking out of the inn, they came to the streets. The streets were very lively and there was an endless stream of people. The disappearance of the Wei Clan did not cause a commotion in the entire city. Zi Chen looked at Su Mengyao beside him and asked, "Where else do you want to go today?"
Su Mengyao shook her head and said, "Let's go. Let's go train."
The matter in Kingstown was resolved. Longhu pulled the carriage and left Kingstown. The various factions in Kingstown heaved a sigh of relief. When the news spread, the Wu Emperor also heaved a sigh of relief. Then, he continued to enjoy himself in the harem.
When Longhu left Kingstown, he was the center of attention.
After leaving Kingstown, Longhu pulled the carriage and flew into the air. When they passed by Tile Town, many people in the town saw the carriage in the air. They all knelt down and kowtowed.
The trip to the Wu Kingdom was one of the few incidents where Zi Chen wiped out an entire clan. However, it was definitely not the last. As time passed, in the future, Zi Chen would still cause rivers of blood to flow when he was angry.
A few months later, they passed through the southern region and arrived at the eastern region. On a certain official road, Zi Chen, who was disguised as a merchant, encountered bandits.
Looking at the shining long sword, Zi Chen tactfully expressed that he would hand over all his belongings. However, the bandits were not satisfied. After stealing the belongings and sensing that there were women in the carriage, they raised their swords and charged in. At first glance, they saw Su Mengyao. They were instantly shocked and lustful.
In the end, this group of bandits was wiped out. None of them were spared.
Glancing at the corpses on the ground, Zi Chen shook his head and sighed. Why bother? He put away the belongings and pulled the carriage into a big city. He was prepared to sell all his goods. However, before he could sell all his goods, a local faction discovered him as an outsider and came to ask for protection fees. He did not know if they were deliberately making things difficult, but the protection fees were actually more valuable than the goods themselves.
After the goods were stolen, and Longhu was almost taken away as well. Zi Chen was empty-handed.
Regarding this, Zi Chen could only shake his head and smile bitterly.
In the past few months, he had been doing these kinds of loss-making transactions.
Zi Chen felt that he was unlucky enough to have his goods stolen again. However, he did not expect that the local faction would find him again that night. They forced their way in and held their swords to his neck, threatening him to hand over Longhu and Su Mengyao. As for Xing Dao Li, they did not want him because he was too old.
Zi Chen symbolically toughened up and acted as if he would rather die than submit. However, who knew that someone would slash at Xing Dao Li's neck.
This slash was sudden, decisive, and direct.
However, Xing Dao Li was not injured. Instead, the long sword was broken after slashing at his neck. This gave the group of people a fright.
This person was using a sword to take someone's life. Naturally, the training was over.
That night, the gang in the big city was completely wiped out.
After wiping out the gang, the carriage stopped in the middle of the street, quietly waiting for the faction behind the gang to arrive. That day, Zi Chen killed hundreds of people, until the blood flowed like a river before he slowly left.
For the next three years, Zi Chen trained in the Eastern Continent. However, the whole world seemed to be incompatible with him. It was like a dream for him to live a normal life.
Good days did not end in a day or two, but ended in two or three months.
And every time, Zi Chen was forced to take action.
Another two years passed. Zi Chen was still training, but there were no results. One day, Longhu, who was a good mount, suddenly said, "Zi Chen, I can't take it anymore. I want to sleep. Sleep."
"Sleep."
Zi Chen was shocked when he heard this. He immediately moved in front of Longhu and checked if there was anything wrong with him. At the same time, he asked, "Longhu, you're not feeling well."
Xing Dao Li laughed, "Longhu Sovereign is about to awaken and evolve. It's a good thing for him. When he wakes up, he will break through to the Earth Yuan Realm. You don't have to worry."
Zi Chen's face immediately lit up when he heard this.
Longhu had entered a deep sleep in the Purple Gold Gourd. When he woke up, he would be at the Earth Yuan Realm. Zi Chen naturally could not compare with such a talent. He could only obediently train.
Without Longhu, Zi Chen could only buy a few horses. Right now, he was more like an ordinary person.
One day, several months later, Xing Dao Li looked at the dejected Zi Chen and asked, "What's wrong? You still don't feel the rules?"
Zi Chen shook his head, indicating that he did not feel the slightest bit of rules.
Xing Dao Li smiled and said, "Don't worry. There's still time."
Longhu used to be mighty and extraordinary. Just its appearance alone could intimidate many people. However, after Longhu fell into a deep sleep, Zi Chen bought a dark horse and encountered more and more trouble.
"Senior, how did you train in the past?" Looking at the corpses at his feet, Zi Chen helplessly asked.
This was another case of murder in a fit of rage.
Xing Dao Li smiled and said, "When I was training in the past, I was alone. Who would find trouble with me for no reason? Who's like you? You're rich but stupid. You even brought a beauty with you. It would be strange if they didn't have any ideas about you. Moreover, you continuously killed people. It's not entirely their fault.
Su Mengyao's face blushed. She lowered her head and said, "I've implicated Zi Chen."
Xing Dao Li waved his hand and said, "I'm just joking. Mengyao, don't mind it. Because of you, Zi Chen is not destined to be lonely. His way of training naturally can't be lonely. Everyone's behavior is different, and their lives are different. Similarly, the rules they comprehend are different."
"That's right. Indeed, there's no such thing as a burden. We've been out for many years now, and we've lived the lives of ordinary people for many years. Although we've been forced to take action to punish and kill in the end, we've also learned some things."
Zi Chen said confidently, "Don't worry. Although I can't guarantee that the following training will be smooth sailing, at least our troubles will be reduced by a lot."
"Really?" Su Mengyao looked at Zi Chen with a skeptical expression.
"It can't be any more real." Zi Chen smiled.
Before the three arrived at the next city, they put away the carriage and walked into the city.
They still chose to open a shop in the city. They looked for a shop, negotiated the rent, and bought medicinal ingredients. After a month, the shop opened.
