Tang Wanxie ignored his descendants. He looked up at the sky and then turned to ask Sima Yingbo,

“I’m hungry. Where’s the blood I instructed you to find?”

“It’s all here.”

Sima Yingbo took out the command flag from his pocket and pointed at the 200 boys and girls below the stage.

After seeing that something was wrong, many of these children also wanted to escape. However, the array formation under their feet restrained them tightly. Seeing Tang Wanxie look at them, these children immediately cried. Some of the timid ones even wet their pants on the spot.

“Very good.”

Tang Wanxie nodded in satisfaction and waved his hand.

“Let’s begin. Get me my blood.”

Following his order, two rows of soldiers stood out from the army below the stage. They pulled out the shiny scimitars at their waists and walked towards the boys and girls.

“Wait a minute!”

Tang Ruowei stopped him.

She ran in front of Tang Wanxie and raised her eyebrows.

“Ancestor, as the former emperor of the High Heaven Sect, why are you hurting the people of the Profound Heaven Country now?”

“What’s wrong?”

“I’m the emperor. They’re commoners. They should naturally do their best for the emperor. It’s their honor to become my food and help me increase my cultivation.” Tang Wanxie replied lazily.

“What kind of logic is that!”

“This is not what a human should say!” Tang Ruowei said angrily.

“Hmph, child, during my reign, I expanded the territory of the Profound Heaven Country by two-thirds. However, the more I fought, the more I felt that there was a limit for mortals.

Tang Wanxie dug out his blood-red nails.

“Even if we unify the Gu Continents and even the entire mortal world of the Nine Continents and ten lands, there will still be a group of people above me. No matter how many troops I have, how good my weapons are, or how thick my armor is, I’m still inferior to those high and mighty immortals who can kill me casually with a single slash. I don’t want it to be like this. As the Human Sovereign, I’m more outstanding and talented than others. In that case, I should step on others.”

“What are you trying to say?!”

Tang Ruowei questioned.

“I want to say… I’ve given up on being human long ago.”

“Do it.” Tang Zhen smiled and said.

The two rows of soldiers continued forward. The cold blades in their hands reflected the terrified expressions of the two fighting children.

“Your Highness.”

At this moment, Sima Yingbo also advised, “In this world, the right way to live is to know when to quit. Moreover, after His Majesty’s strength improves, it’s also a good thing for the Profound Heaven Country.”

“Sima Yingbo, you’ll always be a coward.”

Tang Ruowei glanced at him, her eyes filled with contempt.

“I’m different from you!”

She ran to the dazed Emperor and pulled out the long sword he had equipped at his waist as a decoration.

With a sword in hand, Tang Ruowei rose from the ground and landed in front of the two rows of soldiers on the tomb guardian beast.

“Stop it right now!”

The sword blade reflected a snow-white light, and golden true energy wrapped around the sword blade.

Tang Ruowei waved her sword down, and a sword aura flew out. A row of soldiers fell to the ground.

“Hmph, your temper is quite bad.”

Tang Wanxie snorted coldly and gently raised his finger.

A few generals in the army walked out of the formation, pulled out their weapons, and pounced towards Tang Ruowei. These generals were also Qi Refinement realm martial grandmaster level figures. In a one-on-one battle, Tang Ruowei was quickly defeated and was captured.

“Pfft!”

After being captured, the Eldest Princess still refused to lower her head and spat very roughly. She tilted her head and looked angrily at her ancestor and traitor.

“Master.”

Sima Yingbo hurriedly bowed and said, “Her Highness is young and rash. She’s your descendant after all. Please hand her over to me. I’ll definitely teach her to be obedient.”

“Yingbo, have you forgotten what I taught you?”

Tang Wanxie said lazily, “I don’t need anyone who’s disobedient. Moreover, we’re already extraordinary cultivators, so there’s no need for us to worry about mortal relationships. If you want beauties, you’ll have plenty in the future. Be it from other countries or the cultivation world, as long as you become stronger, you can obtain them. As for this rebellious girl, just devour her. You’ve done a good job in finding young boys and girls for me. This is my reward to you.”

“Master…”

Sima Yingbo struggled and hesitated for a few seconds before bowing.

“Yes, Master. Thank you.”

“Yes, you’re also about to reach the Foundation Establishment realm. After you do, you can officially start cultivating my Blood God Immortal Technique.”

Tang Ke smiled evilly.

“Drinking her blood is very beneficial to helping you reach the Foundation Establishment realm.”

“Bullshit!”

At this moment, a shout suddenly sounded from the Imperial Mausoleum .

“Hmm?”

Tang Wanxie’s expression collapsed.

“Who are you?”

However, the voice ignored him and continued, “If drinking the blood of the royal family can help one reach the Foundation Establishment realm, why don’t I know about it? You’re a junior and have cultivated an incomplete cultivation technique. Now, you’re actually shamelessly guiding others to reach the Foundation Establishment realm? The demonic path is the demonic path. You don’t rely on harming others to increase your cultivation. Do you know how difficult it is to reach the Foundation Establishment realm? Don’t underestimate the Foundation Establishment realm!”

“You’re the shameless one!”

Tang Wanxie snorted coldly.

“I’m already at the Foundation Establishment realm now. Why can’t I teach others how to reach it?”

“So what if you’re at the Foundation Establishment realm? You don’t know anything about the Foundation Establishment realm at all!”

The voice sounded violent.

“Moreover, look at your arrangements today. You want to rely on all this blood to break through to the Golden Core realm, right? However, this arrangement is filled with mistakes. Even a righteous cultivator like me can’t stand it anymore! Don’t you know that array formations are fine-tuned according to the time and place? With your current state, how can you still say that you know how to reach the Foundation Establishment realm? The only reason why you were able to reach it was because you got lucky!”

“Stop hiding.”

Hearing this voice, Tang Wanxie’s expression also collapsed.

“If you have the guts, come out and meet me!”

Boom!

As soon as he finished speaking, a majestic force directly erupted from the 200 boys and girls formation, sending the few generals suppressing Tang Ruowei and the soldiers raising their blades flying. Then, a gentle force shot out, bringing the other boys and girls into a deep sleep.

A furious boy walked out of the formation of boys and girls. With every step he took, his body grew an inch taller. His hair also gradually changed color. After a series of crackling sounds, he arrived in front of Tang Ruowei and had already transformed into the white-haired Bai Qiuran.

“Bai Qiuran?”

Tang Ruowei was stunned.

“Why are you here?”

“I originally came to eliminate demons and defend the Dao.”

Bai Qiuran’s expression was gloomy.

“But I realized that this little demon cultivator is especially shameless.”

“It’s actually him?”

Sima Yingbo also revealed a surprised expression.

“Do you know him?”

Tang Wanxie asked.

“I’ve met him once in the Rogue Mountain.”

Sima Yingbo heaved a sigh of relief.

“Master, he’s only a Qi Refinement realm cultivator.”

“Qi Refinement Realm?”

Tang Wanxie laughed.

“I think you’re the shameless one.”

“Who’s the shameless one?”

Bai Qiuran sneered and casually pointed out several flaws in Tang Wanxie’s cultivation. From his array formation to his moves, from his cultivation technique to his blood food, he criticized them all. He even commented on the other party’s grave.

Tang Wanxie secretly compared and discovered that if they did it according to Bai Qiuran’s description, it could indeed be improved by a lot.

Seeing his expression, Bai Qiuran asked, “How is it? You ignorant junior.”

“So what?”

Tang Wanxie spread his arms.

“You’re still only a Qi Refinement realm cultivator, and I’m only a step away from forming my Golden Core.”

Bai Qiuran tilted his head and looked at the other party without saying anything.

“I’m not only a Foundation Establishment cultivator, but I’m also the emperor of this Profound Heaven Realm.”

He said loudly, “I have 3,000 generals and 20 to 80 experts. My cultivation is definitely higher than yours. I don’t need to do anything myself. I just need to give an order and I can behead you. What do you have to fight me?”

Bai Qiuran looked around in silence. The thousands of imperial guards in the Imperial Mausoleum had already been controlled by Tang Wanxiejue on the platform and surrounded them. Behind them, outside the Imperial Mausoleum , the army that was also guarding the Imperial Mausoleum blocked the way.

There was no lack of Qi Refinement realm generals in the army, and the sixteen consecrators were all experts above the mid-stage Qi Refinement realm.

In front of him were the civil and military officials controlled by Tang Wanxie, the Imperial Preceptor, and the soldiers of the three armies. Behind him was Tang Ruowei, who was injured and had exhausted her true energy, and the 200 unconscious children.

“You fool.”

Tang Ruowei stood up with her sword and smiled bitterly.

“You have to be aware of your own strength if you want to eliminate demons and defend the Dao. There are thousands of troops and half of the experts of the Profound Heaven Country here.”

“So what?”

Bai Qiuran smiled and replied.

Helping the righteous was the responsibility of every disciple of the Green Destiny Sect. The so-called righteous path was something that would not change as time passed.

For example, even though the sky was covered by dark clouds, and the black and white clouds intertwined together, it was impossible for the black to become white in any era. Killing the innocent and bullying the weak would never be praised.

Bai Qiuran drew a circle under his feet and wrote a simple array formation to protect Tang Ruowei. Then, he took two steps forward and looked up at Tang Wanxie.

A cool breeze brushed past his sleeve, causing it to flutter. Bai Qiuran’s face was devoid of fear, just like how he had defended Tang Ruowei in the cave that day.

“Indeed, unlike you, I have no power, no backing, and my cultivation level is only in the Qi Refinement realm.”

He removed the iron sword from his waist, drew it out, and pointed it diagonally at the ground.

The three feet of autumn water reflected the cold light and remained motionless.

“But I still have a sword.”
