Chapter 9: What Is She, That She Thinks I Should Go See Her?

“Fake. Ye Feng, everything you’ve said is fake!”

Liu Ruyan spoke with a look of utter despair.

“What’s this nonsense about being together for a lifetime and always treating me well?

“It was all just so you could use me to obtain resources and speed up your cultivation!”

“I didn’t. I really do love you.”

Ye Feng tried to explain.

“Love me?”

Liu Ruyan gave a bitter laugh.

“At a time like this, you’re still lying to me.

“Do you really take me for a fool?”

“From beginning to end, all you’ve ever done is take from me.

“When have you ever given anything in return?”

“And after everything I’ve done for you, what did I get?

“My family destroyed and everyone dead.

“Heh…”

“I…”

Ye Feng opened his mouth, only to realize that whenever he’d been with Liu Ruyan, he’d apparently done nothing but take from her.

The only thing he’d ever given her was that roasted chicken.

“Clan Leader Yan, I no longer wish to live.

“But before I die, I only have one request.

“Please stop Ye Feng and his master from interfering.”

“I want to destroy the Ye Clan!”

“Hm?”

After hearing Liu Ruyan’s words, Yan Wang’s brows furrowed slightly.

Because at first glance, it sounded as though she was completely breaking things off with Ye Feng.

Yet the system hadn’t rewarded him with any Heavenly Dao Points.

“Interesting.

“Is this the protagonist’s plot armor that makes people lose their minds?”

“No matter what the male protagonist does to the heroine, even if he were to wipe out her entire family…”

“She would still remain utterly devoted to him.”

Yan Wang shook his head somewhat boredly.

“Where did you get the courage to try playing tricks under my nose?”

The moment he said this, Liu Ruyan’s heart jolted.

Even Huang Wu’s expression beside her turned grim.

Realizing that if this continued, Liu Ruyan and Ye Feng would start putting on some tragic-romance performance and he’d get no more Heavenly Dao Points from it, Yan Wang decided to clear the stage.

“I’ve had enough of playing this game of guessing what you’re hiding.”

Yan Wang swept his indifferent gaze across the entire scene.

The pressure of a Ninth-Heaven Quasi-Emperor instantly swept over everyone.

Huang Wu, who had remained silent nearby, immediately unleashed her soul power to shield Ye Feng and Liu Ruyan.

As for the other members of the Ye and Liu Clans, they were all crushed beneath the pressure, their remains scattering across the surroundings.

【Ding! Host has successfully wiped out the clansmen of the male and female protagonists, causing a major deviation in the plot. Earned 2,000,000 Heavenly Dao Points!】

At the system notification, Yan Wang’s expression remained completely impassive.

He raised his hand.

Boundless true essence surged through his palm.

Even Zilu, a fifth-stage Quasi-Emperor of the Confucian school, felt this true essence and found himself utterly incapable of resisting.

“This clan leader is kind-hearted.

“I can’t bear to see you separated from your clansmen in life and death.

“So I’ll send you down to reunite with them!”

The moment his words fell, the Great Desolation Imprisoning Heaven Finger was unleashed with full force.

A colossal palm descended from the heavens.

Boom!

Buzz!

A deafening explosion and the hum of an Imperial Weapon rang out simultaneously.

“Hmph.

“You managed to block that move with a remnant soul at the Third-Stage Quasi-Emperor Realm and a damaged Supreme Dao Imperial Weapon.

“Now let’s see what you can use to block this!”

Having prepared long ago, Yan Wang fully activated the Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Force and Tenfold Annihilation!

In an instant, a colossal divine elephant phantom appeared behind him, towering between heaven and earth.

Under the terrified gazes of everyone present, the divine elephant raised its right leg, carrying the power of Tenfold Annihilation, and stomped down toward Ye Feng, Liu Ruyan, and Huang Wu.

Buzz!

Another tremendous hum rang out.

Then the heavens and earth seemed to mourn as blood rain fell from the sky.

The damaged Supreme Dao Imperial Weapon was forcibly obliterated.

And even within the billowing dust, a mist of blood could be seen drifting through the air.

【Ding! Host has successfully killed the heroine Liu Ruyan. Earned 6,000,000 Heavenly Dao Points!】

【Ding! Host has successfully dealt a devastating blow to the male protagonist’s master, Huang Wu, leaving her critically wounded and on the verge of death. Earned 7,000,000 Heavenly Dao Points!】

【Ding! Host has successfully destroyed the male protagonist Ye Feng’s physical body. Earned 5,000,000 Heavenly Dao Points!】

“f*ck!”

Yan Wang’s composure finally cracked.

“That still didn’t kill him?!”

His state of mind nearly collapsed.

He immediately followed the traces of the damaged Imperial Weapon and opened a passage through the void, then fiercely unleashed another Great Desolation Imprisoning Heaven Finger.

In an instant, everything within a million-mile radius of where that streak of light had been was reduced to nothingness.

“Motherfucker!”

Seeing the passage close without the system issuing another notification, Yan Wang knew that bastard Ye Feng had ultimately managed to escape.

“Ying Sha, take people to seize the Liu Clan’s assets.”

Yan Wang spoke unhappily.

“Zilu, don’t forget what you promised me.”

“Zilu understands.”

At this moment, Zilu’s mind was already in complete turmoil.

There had always been a rule circulating throughout the Netherbright Realm:

Only a Great Emperor could destroy or completely obliterate an Imperial Weapon—even a damaged one.

Yet Yan Wang had just shattered that established rule.

While this sent Zilu’s mind reeling, it also made him secretly grateful that he had surrendered quickly.

Otherwise, Shangyin Academy might have been completely erased from existence today.

“Hmph. Return to the Imperial Capital!”

Yan Wang snorted coldly and led the members of the Yan Clan toward the Great Yan Imperial Capital.

As for the frontier?

Whoever the hell wanted to guard it could do so.

Half an hour later.

A massive city covering millions of hectares appeared before the Yan Clan’s warship.

The city’s walls towered like mountains reaching into the heavens.

The power radiating from them was enough to effortlessly obliterate a Second-Grade Origin-Beginning expert.

Above the city floated 108 immortal mountains.

Among them, the immortal mountain known as Mount Taixu was where the Yan Clan resided.

It was also the largest of the 108 immortal mountains.

Even Mount Yuhuang, where the Imperial Family resided, was shorter than it.

“This is what a true villain’s residence should look like!”

Standing aboard the warship, Yan Wang nearly reached heaven from sheer satisfaction when he saw that his own estate was even larger than the Imperial Palace.

As for keeping a low profile?

Heh.

Even before obtaining the system, his predecessor had been the strongest existence of his generation.

Not to mention that now he possessed several supreme cultivation arts and even had a Supreme Dao Imperial Weapon in his hands.

Even the Imperial Family had to avoid confronting him directly.

Let alone the other forces.

“Your subordinate, Lin Yuanzhen, requests an audience with Clan Leader Yan!”

The city guard general was only a Third-Stage Transcendent Mortal.

The moment he saw the Yan Clan’s warship, he hurriedly bowed and clasped his hands.

Yan Wang was standing on the warship, organizing all the places where he could obtain Heavenly Dao Points.

Upon hearing the voice, his eyes suddenly lit up.

He remembered that in the original story, his predecessor had personally gone after Ye Feng.

At that time, however, Ye Feng’s fortune had been at its peak.

Just how strong was it?

In order to deal with the Yan Clan, the Imperial Family had even provided Ye Feng with a small amount of covert support.

Because of that support, Yan Wang’s old friend—who had been barely clinging to life—had actually crawled out of his coffin and confronted his predecessor for several hundred years.

During those several hundred years, Ye Feng went to the battlefield where the Great Yan Dynasty fought against the Strange Clan.

There, he demonstrated exactly what it meant to be the protagonist.

Even on a battlefield that had been stripped bare by the Yan Clan, Ye Feng would somehow encounter divine medicine whenever he went out, pick up an Imperial Weapon while walking down the road, and fish up a goddess while roasting chicken.

Over those several hundred years, he not only dismantled the Yan Clan’s power but also cultivated all the way to the Ninth-Heaven Quasi-Emperor Realm.

Of course, if something like that happened to him, it could only prove one thing:

This clan leader was the Chosen One!

But when it happened to someone else, it was just ridiculous.

“Clan Leader, someone is requesting an audience.”

Ying Sha had returned and stood beneath the high platform, speaking softly.

“Tell him to get lost.”

Yan Wang didn’t even raise his head.

Ying Sha nodded heavily.

Then—

“Motherfucker, get out of the way!”

Yan Wang, who was calculating how he should proceed in the future, suddenly felt his vision go dark when he heard those words.

???

What the hell?

I only cursed once, and you’ve already picked it up?

Is profanity really the fastest thing people learn?

Although the golden-armored general Lin Yuanzhen didn’t understand what the phrase meant, he knew it certainly wasn’t anything pleasant.

Under normal circumstances, he would definitely have traded insults with Ying Sha.

But today, he had come with an official mission.

So he could only glare at Ying Sha before continuing.

“Please inform Clan Leader Yan that Her Majesty the Empress is waiting for him in the Golden Palace to discuss the invasion of our Great Yan Dynasty by the Strange Clan.”

“What is she, that she thinks I should go see her?

“I’m not going!”

Yan Wang didn’t even raise his head as he answered.

He then ordered the warship to move forward.

Right now, he was in a hurry to return and use his system draws.

Who had time to discuss some so-called invasion by the Strange Clan?
