“Everyone move back!” Xi Wanya shouted angrily. Swinging his long saber at the ground, the tiles cracked as a gully appeared like an earth dragon and coursed toward the blind man.

The blind man touched the ground with the tip of his bamboo cane, causing the ground to instantly explode. Debris consisting of mud and stone fragments began to fly everywhere.

This blind man proceeded to give the bamboo cane in his hand a twist and blocked the mud and stone fragments from his body. He then thrust the cane obliquely at the chest of Xi Wanya as he jumped over.

Xi Wanya blocked the cane in front of his chest with his saber. There was a loud clang as Xi Wanya was sent flying backward three meters. He dropped to the ground with both feet, causing the ground to crack before he was able to stabilize himself.

Lowering his head to look at his saber, he saw a thumb-sized notch on it.

“Ptui, are you the Spirit Spear?” Xi Wanya spat on the floor before asking in a deep voice.

“Hey, the Protector General of the South is certainly capable.” The blind man laughed.

Xi Wanya grimaced. It was really him. “His spear is the Spirit Spear, and he is a villain” was the best description of this expert.

Of the top 10 experts, there were two that people wished to meet the least; one was Hua Sanliu, and the other was the Spirit Spear, Teng Yue.

These two people were utterly low-down characters and unfortunately possessed great strength. One was ranked the fifth most powerful expert in the world, the other was ranked fourth, and most people simply couldn’t deal with them.

Hua Sanliu had been killed by the empress, and the Spirit Spear, Teng Yue, unexpectedly appeared here.

“What are you doing here?” Xi Wanya looked cold and murderous.

“Oh, the emperor of Great Xia had initially offered me a big gift to deal with Qi Zixiao. I had thought of slightly injuring her in order to incapacitate her for a few days and would then consider my job done. However, I have heard interesting news here that Qi Zixiao hasn’t recovered from her injuries. This is what made me change my mind.

Although I am blind, I have heard of her beauty. I intend to propose to her because we are a perfect match and complement each other.

With her abilities, only a few are worthy of her. The rest aren’t interested, but I am very interested.

Where is Qi Zixiao now. I want to seek her consent. The dowry will be your lives!”

Here was the type of person who would hit a person when he’s down and subsequently add a ton of salt to the wound. The disgusting things he said sounded perfectly comfortable coming out of his mouth. There was no need to mention the first sentence, which no one knew about, but he deliberately said it in a matter-of-fact manner. It seemed that he was purposely letting people know that he didn’t care about his status as the fourth most powerful expert in the world.

Everybody immediately glared at him and clenched their teeth.

This person in front of them had a pockmarked face and a mouthful of yellow teeth, which made their stomachs turn.

“You are a disgrace to your status as the fourth most powerful expert in the world!” Xi Wanya scolded him and was so angry that his hair almost stood upright.

“Haha, what have I got to do with the ranking?” Teng Yue laughed derisively.

Xi Wanya was tongue tied. Teng Yue was ranked fourth for his fighting abilities and definitely not with regards to his moral character.

In terms of moral character, Xi Wanya would at least be ranked among the top three in the world.

The empress would be ranked first, whereas he would be third.

“Winged cavalry, attack the enemy!” Xi Wanya roared.

He was aware of the empress’s condition. No matter what, they had to seriously injure this person even if it cost all of them their lives.

When Her Majesty had recovered, it would be time for this person to die.

“Soldiers in the courtyard, form up!” shouted Gong Zheng, who was standing on top of the wall.

Boom, bang! The walls and buildings in the courtyard collapsed. After the dust had settled, exactly 800 burly men clad in leather armor that covered half of their bodies could be seen standing in the ruined courtyard. They each carried a long shiny saber, and a murderous spirit filled the air.

The accumulation of this murderous spirit caused the clouds to dissipate and made the people of Wu City feeling inexplicably cold and fearful.

Xi Wanya, Zong Shen, and Qing Ping positioned themselves to the right, to the left, and behind Teng Yue in a triangular formation.

“Blood battle!”

“Cry!” (TLC. Not sure about this part. It sounds weird for them to yell stuff like “cry.”)

With a blood-curdling roar, 800 winged cavalry warriors clenched their teeth and charged toward Teng Yue. Even the fourth most powerful expert in the world was unable to make them retreat half a step.

A hand emerged from the ruins, pushing away the tiles and logs. Finally, a person with a gray and muddy face appeared.

Lin Qiaole looked blankly in all directions and wondered, Where’s the house? Where’s the house? Where’s the house?

She had been sleeping soundly, yet the house was somehow demolished now.

“Librarian Lin, there’s a formidable enemy here. Please tackle him!” Xi Wanya, who was engaged in battle with Teng Yue a distance away, saw the charging winged cavalry warriors collapsing one by one around Teng Yue. He was bleeding in his heart and looked furious. At this time, he saw Lin Qiaole in the courtyard and shouted for her help.

On a distant roof, Qingyun Sword looked at the battle before him with an inscrutable face. Finally, he gritted his teeth and grasped his sword as his blade flew out from his back.

Although Xi Wanya was surprised to see Qingyun Sword joining the action, he was jolted awake.

From nearby, an old man wearing a Kudzu top looked at Qingyun Sword with disdain for joining the fray. He then gloated as he looked ahead.

Qingyun Sword took the opportunity to turn his head and shout, “Icing on the cake isn’t as good as timely assistance. Old Demon Zuo, you have already surrendered—how can you be two-faced? Is there still any way out for the Lingshan Sect?”

That old man was gloomy and uncertain after hearing these words, and he heaved a deep sigh. As he flipped his palm, a Hydro-fire Rod gradually solidified from nothing.

In the future, it would be either the aboriginals or the three factions who took charge of Tianjing Basin.

According to Qingyun Sword, since the Lingshan Sect had already surrendered, there was no way out. If he took action now, the future of the Lingshan Sect would be better.

Although he had no choice but to participate, he only applied one third of his power to harass the other side while protecting himself.

With the addition of these three Spirit Wheel experts, Teng Yue was under even greater pressure.

Boom! The bamboo cane in Teng Yue’s hand exploded, and countless bamboo fragments flew off into the surrounding area.

As he twisted his body, a two meter long spear with fine golden engravings appeared in his hand.

…

Ren Baqian was busy in the kitchen and poked his head out to ask teasingly, “Little monk, do you eat meat? There is only meat in this house.”

“Yes.” Xing Ruo’s eyes brightened as he almost began drooling at the mention of meat.

“You actually are not pretentious!” Ren Baqian couldn’t help laughing because he had thought that the other party would refuse.

“In order to attain Buddhahood, one must not starve to death!” Xing Ruo was unperturbed.

“That makes sense!” Ren Baqian was amused by him.

After preparing for a long time, he put breakfast on the table and asked the other two to eat.

After taking just two mouthfuls, Ren Baqian heard the doorbell ring.

“Who will it be this time?” Ren Baqian was slightly impatient. Normally, nobody else would come except for the housekeeper and Shen Feng. The night before, it was the little monk, and now, someone else was ringing the doorbell.

Ren Baqian impatiently pushed the door open and froze.

“Mother and father? Why are the both of you here?”

He saw his two parents standing there in casual clothes, each carrying a suitcase while wearing hats and sunglasses. It was as if they were going on a vacation.

“If we did not come, we would forget that we have this son.” His mother raised her eyebrows the moment she saw him and reached out to tug his ears. “Have you grown up? Are you trying to spread your wings? Not only did you not bring your girlfriend back, but now, you are not coming home either. You have not been home for a long time. You even made us look for you. Do you think you can run away from home?”

Ren Baqian was aggrieved. The day before, the fate of countless people was in his hands, and he felt all powerful. One day later, he had become a nobody… and unfortunately, he couldn’t resist.

His mother persistently poked his head with her finger…

Ren Baqian felt that an ancient saying portrayed his predicament quite well…

He used to be king until his mother arrived…
