Saint Emperor Devourer of Heaven

Jun Wuxie wasn't surprised by Ning Wang's words. If Ning Wang couldn't see through things by now, he wouldn't be Ning Wang.

He knew that many of his secrets would be exposed when he took action to resolve the crisis in Biancheng.

Now that they were exposed, Ning Wang would inevitably feel a strong sense of crisis.

Under these circumstances, the previous plans were no longer applicable. Some things that were originally intended to be carried out in secret now had to be brought out into the open, and could very well be discussed openly.

"Ning Wang, you don't seem to understand the situation. My arrogance and confidence stem from my capabilities."

Jun Wuxie crossed his legs, looked at Ning Wang calmly, and suddenly chuckled, "Indeed, if I want to kill you, you will surely die. As for Anning, she will not only be the Empress of Dagan, but also the Empress of Qingzhou, and in the future, the Empress of the entire Eastern Territory!"

"Hahaha!"

Ning Wang, enraged, burst out laughing, "This King thinks you've gone mad, spouting nonsense! What virtues or abilities do you possess to dare utter such wild words, to kill this King and unify Qingzhou? Do you think this is child's play?"

"Unifying Qingzhou may be an unattainable feat for you, Ning Wang, but for me, it's not a difficult task. Because you, Ning Wang, are good at scheming, but unfortunately, you are too weak. After hundreds or thousands of years of planning, you haven't even managed to seize the throne of Dagan. Quite pathetic."

"Boy, your tone is getting bolder and bolder!"

Ning Wang suddenly glared at Jun Wuxie, and the aura of a Half-Step Overlord Saint surged forth like a flood.

"Overestimating yourself!"

Jun Wuxie's eyes turned cold, and a blood-red light flashed as the aura of the desolate wilderness surged.

The Blood鬃 Lion-Hound Beast King appeared, and its massive paw directly pressed down on Ning Wang.

Ning Wang's pupils contracted violently. Dense runes lit up on his body, and mysterious symbols flickered between his hands as he met the Beast King.

Between his palms, a secret technique rune diagram appeared, instantly enlarging, attempting to suppress the Blood鬃 Lion-Hound Beast King.

"You actually want to suppress it?"

Jun Wuxie was taken aback. Immediately afterward, Ning Wang's secret technique rune diagram shattered inch by inch, torn apart by the Blood鬃 Lion-Hound Beast King's paw.

Boom!

The paw seemed to carry endless weight, making it impossible for Ning Wang to resist, and he was instantly pressed to the ground.

"Don't try to call your people in. Those so-called Heavenly Grade experts will only end up like you, vulnerable and easily defeated."

Jun Wuxie stood up and came before Ning Wang, looking down at him.

Ning Wang's face was livid as he stared at him coldly, saying, "Is this your trump card, all your reliance?"

He was extremely furious!

So, the young Rune Master in the Flowing Cloud Forest was actually a disciple of the True Martial Peak.

Who would have thought that this was the truth?

No one would have thought in this direction, and neither did he.

This Yue Wuxie killed a large number of experts under his command in the Flowing Cloud Forest and signed a soul contract with the Blood鬃 Lion-Hound Beast King, obtaining such a terrifying battle beast!

"You will never know how many trump cards and reliance I have. I originally wanted to play with you slowly, but the crisis in Biancheng forced me to take action and expose some of my strength. Since I can't hide it anymore, let's do it openly. Ning Wang, you are a smart man, you should know what to do."

After he finished speaking, he signaled the Blood鬃 Lion-Hound Beast King to release its paw.

"Yue Wuxie, where does your confidence come from!" Ning Wang stood up, dusted off his body, and said coldly, "What do you want this King to do? Cooperate with you to help Ning'er ascend the throne, and watch helplessly as you treat Ning'er as a puppet?"

"No, you're wrong. It should be according to my plan, you ascend the throne, and then abdicate to Anning. After that, you leave this world. Whether you want me to kill you or you end it yourself, I can give you the freedom to choose."

"Are you treating this King as a fish on the chopping board?" Ning Wang's eyes flashed with cold light, "Even if you have the Blood鬃 Lion-Hound Beast King by your side, can you withstand the millions of soldiers of the border army?"

"Ning Wang, I hope you don't overestimate yourself and don't underestimate your opponent. Your so-called army is vulnerable in my eyes. As long as I'm willing, I can slaughter them all in a moment! Today, since I've spoken openly with you, I haven't given you a choice."

After he finished speaking, a Rune Memory Stone appeared in his palm.

The Rune Memory Stone shone with light, and a clear picture evolved in the air.

It was a mountain wilderness with a lake. On the shore, a woman was using her palm to kill a young man.

"Do you know who that young man is? A disciple of the Blood Fiend Alliance in Hanzhou. Your precious daughter killed someone from the Blood Fiend Alliance. What do you think the consequences will be if this matter gets out?"

"Yue Wuxie! You are despicable and shameless. Ning'er is wholeheartedly devoted to you, and you actually plot against her like this!"

Ning Wang's eyes were about to split, and his head of black hair exploded, then deflated like a punctured ball, and he slumped back into his chair.

He knew that he had no choice.

This Yue Wuxie actually held something in his hands that controlled the life and death of the entire Ning Wang Mansion.

Judging from the angle recorded by the Rune Memory Stone, it should have been secretly recorded from behind at the time.

Ning'er was so careful in her actions, how could she give this Yue Wuxie an opportunity?

At that time, Ning'er shouldn't have been charmed by this kid yet.

Knowing that the other party was from the Blood Fiend Alliance, how could Ning'er have taken action to kill him?

She knew very well what this meant for the Ning Wang Mansion.

Ning Wang couldn't imagine what happened at that time, what kind of situation occurred, that could lead to such a scene, allowing that Yue Wuxie to seize such an opportunity.

He was silent for a long time, realizing that this Yue Wuxie seemed to have been plotting from a long time ago.

This was a very terrifying youth. In terms of intelligence, he was even stronger than his daughter. Otherwise, the scene of Ning'er killing the Blood Fiend Alliance youth would not have been recorded by him.

This youth, a body cultivator with extremely high talent and growth potential, was also a Rune Master, with deep intelligence, assisted by the Blood鬃 Lion-Hound Beast King, and also holding the bargaining chip that determined the life and death of the Ning Wang Mansion.

"Why do you want to control Dagan, control Qingzhou?"

Ning Wang became much calmer. There was no longer anger or killing intent on his face, as if he was talking about something unrelated to him.

"To unify the world, implement my policies, and give the common people a more stable living environment."

Hearing this, Ning Wang couldn't help but say with a slightly mocking tone, "I didn't expect you to be someone who loves the common people, it sounds quite great, but it's hard to believe."

"Why not believe it? With my growth speed, I will soon leave Qingzhou. My future is in the world, not in Qingzhou."

"Then why are you doing this? I want to hear the truth."

"What I said is the truth. Seeking happiness for the common people doesn't necessarily mean just unilateral giving. In the future, they will give me rewards."

Ning Wang was silent for a moment, then said, "In that case, you intend to keep Ning'er as your puppet forever?"

"I don't like the word 'puppet' very much. A woman's obedience to a man can be many kinds of relationships, and it doesn't necessarily have to be a puppet. Besides, Anning is a person with independent consciousness. I haven't controlled her thoughts, so how can there be any talk of a puppet?"

"This King needs time to consider. You can leave first."

Ning Wang issued an order to leave.

Jun Wuxie didn't say more, exited the secret room, and then went near the military camp to wait for Anning to come out.

After he left, Ning Wang's expression in the secret room was uncertain.

He didn't expect that things would suddenly develop like this, catching him off guard.

The plan proposed by that Yue Wuxie made him feel both angry and ridiculous.

He actually wanted him to cooperate, and after pushing his daughter to the throne, he would commit suicide.

If anyone had said such a thing to him before, he would have thought that person was crazy.

But now, he was really forced to the point where there was no way out.

"That Blood鬃 Lion-Hound Beast King is probably already in the late stage of the Ancient Legend realm. If I want to use force to seize and destroy the Rune Memory Stone on him, it seems it won't work. And with his shrewdness, there must be other Rune Memory Stone copies."

Ning Wang frowned and thought, if he used the army, he could completely trap a Half-Step Overlord Saint realm expert to death, but he didn't know if that kid named Yue had other trump cards.

How could such a person suddenly reveal all his cards to him if he didn't have even stronger trump cards?

"Someone!"

"Ning Wang!"

Several experts walked in.

"Draft this King's decree. This King's daughter, Princess Anning, will be betrothed to the hero Yue Wuxie, who repelled the enemy today. After the next great victory, a betrothal ceremony will be held at the City Lord's Mansion in Biancheng. This is hereby announced to the whole city!"

"Ning Wang, what is this..."

"Hurry up."

Ning Wang said lightly, sitting in a corner shrouded in shadow.

"Yes!"

Several experts hurriedly retreated.

Soon, the news spread wildly, from one to ten, from ten to a hundred.

Moreover, such news was posted in many places in the city where notices were posted.

People were all talking about it. Princess Anning was a person in the hearts of the Dagan people who possessed both beauty and wisdom.

She was not only the most beautiful woman in Qingzhou, but also had the title of Female Zhuge.

Now, Princess Anning was actually going to be betrothed to someone, and it was a marriage personally arranged by Ning Wang. The object was that young hero who repelled the millions of troops of Wu'an outside the city with his own strength earlier.

"I didn't expect that Yue Wuxie's performance moved Ning Wang, and Ning Wang personally arranged the marriage!"

"Haven't you heard? That Yue Wuxie is not an ordinary person. He is the person who reached the top floor of the Trial Tower in Guanjing City, and finally made the Trial Tower take the initiative to recognize him as its master!"

"What, is he the divine being who took the Trial Tower and reached the top of the Trial Tower?"

"Otherwise, do you think just anyone can use the Heavenly Tribulation to repel the enemy? Dream on."

"No wonder he can do so much, he himself is a pervert."

“Alas, Princess Anning, a goddess, is about to marry. But they are a match made in heaven.”

“Some time ago, there were rumors that the Haihe Clan had come to propose marriage, wanting to marry Princess Anning. It was even said that Prince Ning was considering it, which was complete nonsense. Now the rumors have been dispelled, hehe.”

… …

Inside a private room at the Biancheng Inn, the Haihe Clan members were gathered, drinking. Some looked surprised, while others looked grim.

“Bastard!”

Xie Qian stood up abruptly, his eyes as gloomy as water, his facial muscles twitching. A violent aura surged into his brain, and with a bang, he overturned the entire table.

The various dishes and wine on the table crashed to the ground.

“Outrageous! Prince Ning’s Mansion is bullying us too much, daring to disregard my Xie family of the Haihe Clan!”

Xie Qian’s hands, hanging at his sides, clenched tightly, turning white, filled with hostility.

“Young Master, calm down. Prince Ning doesn’t know what’s good for him. There will be opportunities for him to regret it later!”

A young man from the Xie family said coldly.

“That’s right, Brother Qian, why are you so angry? Prince Ning only said he would betroth Princess Anning to that Yue Wuxie. They haven’t consummated the marriage yet, what are you in a hurry for?”

A young man from another clan of the Haihe said.

“Dares to snatch a woman from this young master, courting death!”

Xie Qian strode out of the inn, his whole body exuding a chilling killing intent, “Isn’t Prince Ning valuing that kid named Yue Wuxie? This young master will kill him in public, slap Prince Ning in the face hard, and let him know how blind he is!”

Two young men from the Xie family hurriedly followed.

Young powerhouses from other forces of the Haihe Clan also followed.

The streets and alleys of Biancheng were all talking about the princess’s marriage, which diluted the haze brought by the war, adding a slight sense of festivity.

Xie Qian almost exploded with anger upon hearing these things along the way!

His face was extremely ugly, and his eyes were about to spew fire.

… …

Outside the Bianjun Main Camp, Princess Anning walked out gracefully. As soon as she reached outside the camp, she saw Jun Wuxie.

“Young Master Yue.”

She hurried over and said, “Are you here to wait for me?”

Jun Wuxie nodded and turned to walk away.

Anning hurriedly followed, stealing glances at him from time to time, hesitating to speak several times.

“Young Master Yue, you… you and my father…”

Princess Anning hesitated for a long time before finally summoning the courage to ask.

“The grudges between me and your father have always existed, but we have not yet reached the point of direct armed conflict.”

“Young Master Yue, can you… can you…”

“Cannot.”

Jun Wuxie’s voice was not forceful, but very calm, yet it had a sense of unquestionable authority.

Anning’s expression dimmed.

She fell silent, caught between her father and him, unsure of what to do.

She couldn’t persuade him, nor could she help her father. The life and death of the entire Ning Wang Mansion were in his hands.

She suddenly felt very sad, feeling useless, letting him manipulate her like this. She knew she should hate him, but for some reason, she couldn’t muster any hatred at all.

At this moment, they entered the city’s commercial district and soon heard people discussing the matter.

Princess Anning was stunned and turned to look at Jun Wuxie in a daze. Her sexy red lips trembled slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but didn’t, and a blush appeared on her face.

Jun Wuxie’s face, however, had a sneer.

At this moment, Princess Anning also realized what was happening and panicked.

She knew that her father was trying to use a strategy of driving away the tiger to devour the wolf, using a borrowed knife to kill.

Her father wanted to drive away the wolves of the Haihe Clan, using the Haihe Clan’s knife to kill Yue Wuxie.

“Young Master Yue, don’t hold it against my father, okay?”

Anning reached out and hugged his arm, gently shaking it, her tearful eyes filled with a pitiful plea.

“This time, I won’t hold it against him.”

Jun Wuxie knew that Prince Ning was unconvinced, thinking he still had means and hope to deal with him.

Then, he would use cruel facts to tell Prince Ning that there was no hope at all, and these means seemed ridiculous.

Prince Ning was using a conspiracy against him, and everyone was now engaged in an open game.

However, the understanding between the two players was too different.

All of Prince Ning’s cards were within his expectations, but Prince Ning knew nothing about his cards.

Wanting to use the Haihe Clan to deal with him, if it were someone else, they really wouldn’t be able to handle it.

But it was him, so what about the Haihe Clan?

They attracted a lot of attention along the way.

Now, the people of Biancheng knew that they were Yue Wuxie and Princess Anning. They caused a stir as they walked along the way.

One person retreated from the Wuan army, destroying millions of the Wuan army. This was a miracle.

Some people had privately blown Jun Wuxie up.

Because this kind of thing was too subversive, like a god descending to earth, it was simply impossible for mortals to do.

In half a year of war, three million Bianjun soldiers fought bloody battles, suffering more than one million casualties, but only wounding or killing one or two million enemies.

Just as they reached the end of the street, about to step onto the special path leading to the City Lord’s Mansion, a trembling sound pierced the air.

With a ding, a black battle spear, like a black streamer, cut through the sky and deeply pierced the ground at the end of the street, causing the bluestone ground to crack. The entire spearhead was embedded in the ground, and the spear shaft was shaking and trembling, with faint rune lights flowing on it.

The people on both sides and behind the street showed surprise at this scene.

Suddenly, the entire street fell into silence, with only the metallic trembling sound of the shaking black battle spear echoing.

All eyes were focused on the front of the black battle spear.

There appeared three figures, all young men wearing brown battle armor.

The leader had a square face, thick eyebrows, and big eyes, filled with violence and coldness.

The other two young men had very long eyebrows and a look of arrogance on their faces.

It was Xie Qian and his two clansmen.

Seeing Princess Anning holding that man’s arm, the submissive state of a young girl on her face, stimulated Xie Qian to take a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the almost explosive anger in his heart, revealing a gentle smile, “I am Xie Qian, the young master of the Xie family of the Haihe Clan. Princess Anning, since a glimpse ten years ago, your beautiful face has been deeply engraved in my heart. I have been in closed-door cultivation for ten years, and have not been able to see you, and I miss you very much. Now that I have come to the land, I want to renew our relationship with the princess.”

“Princess, come over quickly. The princess will be my wife, Xie Qian, in the future, how can you be so close to other men? What is this person? He is not worthy.”

Xie Qian’s face was full of smiles. Although his heart was burning with anger, he still tried to pretend to be gentle, hoping to leave a good impression on the beauty.

Princess Anning was already disgusted and disgusted by Xie Qian’s wishful thinking, but she still maintained restraint.

But when she heard Xie Qian say what Yue Wuxie was, her face suddenly became very ugly, full of frost.

“Young Master Xie Qian, when you say what someone is, you’d better look in the mirror first to see what you are. You said you saw this princess ten years ago, I’m sorry, this princess has no impression of you at all. Young Master Xie Qian’s so-called missing is just a young boy’s wishful thinking, just unrequited love, how can there be any talk of renewing the relationship!”

Princess Anning’s words in public, without any mercy, made Xie Qian lose face, and the smile on his face could no longer be maintained, turning iron blue, and his teeth almost shattered.

“Anning, you said it very well.”

Jun Wuxie’s mouth curled up slightly, not stingy with praise.

“Yue Wuxie, if you know what’s good for you, tell Princess Anning in front of her that you are coveting the status of Prince Ning’s Mansion and want to climb the social ladder! In this way, you can save your life, otherwise you know what consequences you will face!”

Xie Qian threatened with a cold face. He wanted to use the Xie family of the Haihe Clan to put pressure on the surnamed Yue, making him feel fear, and compromise under pressure, abandoning his dignity in public.

In that case, his image in Anning’s heart would plummet, and it would probably be impossible for them to be together again.

In this way, Princess Anning would no longer think about that kid.
