Everything was so chaotic just now! Fatty, how could we tell whether you were a friend or foe? We slashed you by mistake. Do you need to shout so loudly?
Zhang Zhengdao searched around after being freed. âWhere is Wang Ke? Whereâs that bastard?â
âWang Ke? I didnât see him! That Innate Stage brat?â Zhang Liâer asked with a frown.
âSomething seems off. Werenât those the Demon Slaying Heavenly Lightning Array and the Immobilizing Radiance Mirror? There should be a powerful cultivator from the Heavenly Wolf Sect controlling them? Why donât I see any disciples from the Heavenly Wolf Sect?â one of them asked.
âShe Miejue was the one who set it up!â Zhang Shenxu said. He was still in a state of shock.
âShe Miejue? Where is she now?â Zhang Liâer asked.
âWang Ke killed her!â Zhang Shenxu replied.
âWhhâŠWhat? Wang Ke killed She Miejue?â Zhang Liâer could not believe it.
âHe pierced her heart with a sword!â Zhang Shenxu swallowed his saliva in fear and confirmed what he had seen.
He did not expect Wang Ke to be that ruthless!
Even Zhang Zhengdaoâs jaw reached the ground. It canât be!Wang Ke dared to kill She Miejue?
Is he sick of living?How will he return to the Heavenly Wolf Sect?Arenât you just spewing bullsh*t?
âWeâre not sure either. Everything is so messy today!â Zhang Shenxu was at a loss.
Princess Youyue is a demon among demons?She Miejue was demonized?But, she also set up a spell array to kill them!And when did that lying Wang Ke return?He even killed She Miejue? It wasnât just messy; Zhang Shenxu could only feel that his wise and smart brain could no longer keep up with the pace of all the events.
But anyway, the Great Qing Empire was over because Zhang Shenxu witnessed at the Zhu Cultivation Town that Zhu Yan had already turned into a demon.
How could a demonic disciple be an emperor?
The Great Qing Empire was over!
Cultivators from other immortal sects arrived one after the other. They, too, were shocked by the earth shaking event that happened in the Great Qing Palace. The news was spread in the Ten-thousand Great Mountains like wildfire.
Under the Great Qing Palaceâin a dungeon filled with debrisâShe Tianba was trying his best to heal himself.
âIâm the one who killed She Miejue! Not Wang Ke! Youâre all mistaken! Iâm the hero that saved you. Cough, cough!â She Tianba was so furious that he couldnât stop coughing out blood.I risked my life to kill my own ancestral aunt, yet all the credit went to Wang Ke?More importantly, Wang Ke is not a demon; heâs still a righteous disciple.You demonic lot are thanking Wang Ke for what?
Can someone come and save me?Iâve been trapped in the dungeon for too many days while in terrible shape. Iâm so miserable!

Inside the Great Qing Royal Palace, at the Great Generalâs Residenceâ
A group of Wang Clan members paced back and forth anxiously. Then, another clan member rushed into the main hall.
âHow are things? Any news about the Clan Lord?â the third grand-uncle urged for an answer.
âOur men outside the city saw the demons rescue our clan lord and take him away. We donât know the exact location because our men were unable to catch up!â the messenger replied, feeling worried about Wang Ke.
âItâs good that heâs safe! Heâll notify us if he needs us, now that heâs left the capital!â the third grand-uncle opted to reassure everyone.
âThen, what about Princess Youyue? Should we inform the Heavenly Wolf Sect?â the big cousin-brother questioned with concern.We rescued Princess Youyue but lost our Clan Lord. ThisâŠ!
âWe donât need to inform anyone. We just have to do a good job protecting the princess. Little niece, take good care of the princess, especially while she wakes up! We shall wait for our Clan Lordâs instructions!â said the third grand-uncle.
âUnderstood!â The little cousin-sister nodded.
âThen What should we do now?â another person asked.
âDidnât our Clan Lord make arrangements already? The Great Qing Empire is going down the drain. This is the time for us to rise to power and fight for territories. Now, I shall block off all information about what happened in the Qing Capital. Meanwhile, I will consolidate the Great Qing Empireâs army, food and weapons provisions; but for intel, I will need to rely on you all!â the big cousin-brother said solemnly.
âRest assured! We will surely do our best to fulfill our Clan Lordâs orders!â all of them replied.
âWe will surely hand a great empire to our Clan Lord when he returns!â the big cousin-brother proclaimed with clenched fists.
âLetâs do it!â the rest cried out in unison.
âââââ-
In the Heavenly Wolf Sect!
A stream of light shot over from the south and flew directly toward the Heavenly Wolf Sectâs guarding spell array.
âBooom!â
The beam of light crashed into the spell arrayâs barrier with a loud sound, taking many of the disciples by surprise.
âThe Immobilizing Radiance Mirror? How did it return on its own?â someone asked in shock.
At the same time, one of the disciples opened the barrier to let the mirror enter. The mirror only came to a stop when it landed in the Sect Lordâs Great Hall.
The sudden return of the mirror had caught the attention of many, especially the Eldest apprentice-brother, Murong Luguang.
âThe Immobilizing Radiance Mirror? If Iâm not mistaken, my Revered Teacher borrowed it from the Sect Lord when she returned to our sect. Why did the mirror return on its own?â Murong Luguang said in astonishment.
âEldest apprentice-brother, could it be that something happened?â a concerned East Wolf Hallâs disciple asked.
âWhat could ever happen? My Revered Teacher travels the Ten-thousand Great Mountains freely. No one can stop her!â Murong Luguang said with a grave voice.
âButâŠâŠ.!â
Murong Luguang was also frowning. âI canât leave the sect because Iâm still bound by the appointed self-enclosed reflection. Send someone to go around and ask if anyone in the Ten-thousand Great Mountains has seen my Revered Teacher!â
âUnderstood!â
Somehow, Murong Luguang felt a great sense of unease in his heart.
A few days later, one of his juniors rushed back with a nervous attitude.
âEldest apprentice-brother, bad news! Bad news! The Golden Crow Sect just sent us a message, sayingâŠ. They saidâŠâŠ!â
âWhat did they say?â
âThey said that Wang Ke killed the East Wolf Hall Lord, She Miejue!â the junior reported anxiously.
âBullsh*t!â Murong Luguang was incredulous and wide-eyed.
âItâs true! You can go and ask them personally if you donât believe me!â the junior insisted.
Murong Luguangâs face changed instantly. He was in no mood to continue his punishment! He picked up his sword and charged out.Wang Ke?He killed my Reverent Teacher?All of you must be blind!
