Shocking the Nine Heavens With My Sword

The master is weak, and the servants are strong; this is definitely not a normal phenomenon, nor is it a good thing!

"I really didn't expect Lin Xianyang to turn things around like a turtle and become the son of the Black Cave Sovereign!" In Wuyang Academy, Zhou Heng and others were discussing the matter of Lin Wubing entering the Imperial Capital.

Besides Zhou Heng, there were also Liu Yun'er, Liu Shishi, Zhao Heqi, Yang Xudong, Ding Quan, and others, including Bing Xinzhu, Zhou Heng's newlywed, who was leaning charmingly against his bosom.

If she wasn't there, Liu Shishi, this fiery woman, would definitely shamelessly jump into his arms, as Zhou Heng had experienced many times before.

"Young Master Heng, how about we give him a heads-up tomorrow?" Ding Quan said, blinking his mouse-like eyes with a flattering look.

"Sure, you go!" Zhou Heng replied with a smile.

Ding Quan quickly shrank his neck; not that he couldn't beat Lin Xianyang, but even if he could, would he dare to? The man now has a Black Cave Sovereign behind him, even stronger than the former Great Demon Dragon Emperor. It's a death wish!

"The visitor comes with ill intent!" Liu Shishi shook her head, full of worry. While she was a branch of the Imperial Clan, she was also a genuine member of the Liu Family, tied to the Liu Dynasty; when one prospered, all prospered, and when one declined, all declined.

"The master is weak, and the servants are strong; this is destined to reverse the Universe. The Lin Family surely has its sights set on the nation!" Zhao Heqi said.

"The Lin Family has now established supreme prestige. Even if they want the Liu Family to abdicate, no one dares to oppose it; instead, it seems justified!" Yang Xudong chimed in.

This world indeed allows the stronger to obtain everything. If Lin Wubing ascends the throne, except for the Liu Family and other vested interests, ordinary people might actually applaud it!

Because under Lin Wubing's rule, the world could find peace, suppress internal turmoil and external threats!

From this perspective, Lin Wubing ascending to power is reasonable, in line with public opinion. But for the Liu Family, it's a blatant betrayal, which they could never accept willingly.

The Zhao Family and Yang Family each hold large interests within the Daqin Country. If the Lin Family comes to power, the cake will be reshuffled, so naturally, they hope Zhou Heng can persuade Hongyue to confront Lin Wubing.

Zhou Heng is aware of everything as if it's crystal clear, but he is compelled to stand on this precarious edge.

Because the hatred between him and Lin Xianyang is irreconcilable, previously, the Lin Family held back due to fear of Hongyue. But now that Lin Wubing has broken through to become the Black Cave Sovereign, they have no more concerns!

Hongyue's might is often demonstrated in indirect ways; no one knows if she is truly the Black Cave King or the Black Cave Sovereign!

Two years have passed; what step has Lin Xianyang reached?

Has he created more Milky Ways, or has he impatiently leaped into the Comet Realm?

For many, breaking into the Comet Realm is challenging, but Liu Xianyang is different. Since his father acquired the White Bone Saint's relics, even if it's just some minor items, crossing into the Comet Realm should not be difficult.

Zhou Heng now understands the significance of the four realms, including the Black Cave Realm, which are simply foundational stages. Only with a perfect foundation can one hope to ascend to the Chaos Realm!

He harbors lofty ambitions, and even if the possibility to break into the Comet Realm arises, he would choose to actively pursue the Super Grand Perfection of the Thousand-Path Milky Ways. Otherwise, he could only be a limited member of the Chaos Realm experts, forever unable to measure up to the Saints.

The Super Grand Perfection across the four realms provides a glimmer of hope for Zhou Heng, although the future of this path is unknown to anyone. But traveling the road others have traveled would mean a predetermined path.

Perhaps he can use Lin Xianyang's hand to help break the limits of the Thousand-Path Milky Ways, just as he was previously cornered furiously during the hunting contest, eventually breaking heaven and earth's limits and creating the unprecedented ten thousand stars!

Indeed, if that happens, Lin Xianyang could truly be his lucky star!

Zhou Heng touched his chin and showed a slight smile. If the Black Donkey were here, it would surely notice Zhou Heng plotting something wicked, but that rude donkey is busy looting with Little Fire, enjoying it indulgently.

"Let history write the story!"

On the next day, Lin Wubing entered the Imperial Capital; the whole city was deserted as everyone came to the outskirts to welcome the grand return of the Grand Marshal.

Lin Wubing didn't return with an army but only a dozen attendants. Yet, now being the Black Cave Sovereign, his every move exuded awe-inspiring authority that showcased his power without a single soldier, evoking deep respect and fear.

Originally, for any returning hero, the Imperial Clan would only send a representative to greet them. But now with the weak master and strong servant, the Liu Royal Family nearly emptied themselves to wait ten miles outside for the Grand Marshal.

An hour later than scheduled.

Ordinary people might only feel they waited longer, but those in the upper echelons knew this was Lin Wubing's show of dominance.

Who would dare have opinions?

Though Lin Wubing still bears the title of Grand Marshal, he is a genuine Black Cave Sovereign, more potent than the former Great Demon Dragon Emperor and comparable to the ancient Thundercloud Emperor; playing the bigger part is justified.

Lin Xianyang also swept away the disheartened look, his face filled with confident spirit.

As Lin Wubing successfully broke through the Black Cave Realm, he also swept away the demons in his heart and successfully advanced to the Comet Realm — for he had already reached the limit of his own abilities, and another one or two Milky Ways would not affect his future ultimate achievements.

However, as he scanned the crowd and saw neither Zhou Heng nor Liu Yun'er, his face immediately turned gloomy.

Liu Yun'er, she actually dared not to come to greet him!

This little wench!

But it doesn't matter, in a few days he will collect all the debts!

When Lin Wubing entered the Imperial Capital, all the courtiers automatically rushed to offer their loyalty, openly and secretly expressing their willingness to fully support Lin Wubing if he intended to proclaim himself emperor.

In fact, whether Lin Wubing proclaimed himself emperor didn't really depend on the support of these people. As a Black Cave Sovereign, he was powerful enough to suppress the world with his own strength, needing no one's support. Whoever defied him, he would kill, killing until no one in the world dared to oppose.

But for some reason, Lin Wubing didn't seem to have any intentions of proclaiming himself emperor. After entering the Imperial Capital, he remained unusually low-key.

Some speculated that he was wary of Hongyue and didn't want to make an enemy of this mysterious and profound expert before understanding Hongyue's strength or intentions. But after just three days, news came from the Lin Family that Lin Xianyang and Liu Yun'er were to be married, with Liu Yun'er inheriting the throne, ascending as Empress!

No one could find any fault with this marriage because it was something the Great Demon Dragon Emperor had decided while alive, and now Liu Yun'er was already sixteen years old, the age to be married.

However, letting Liu Yun'er ascend the throne seemed a bit overstepping, as the Lin Family were merely outer courtiers, what right did they have to meddle in the affairs of the Imperial Clan?

But now, with the master weak and the servant strong, what difference did it make even if they overstepped?

Everyone knew what the Lin Family was plotting. Rather than saying it was Liu Yun'er ascending the throne, it was more like handing the dynasty's power over to Lin Xianyang, essentially making the Liu Family relinquish the throne.

Afterward, any descendants that Lin Xianyang and Liu Yun'er had would inevitably inherit the great treasure, making the Daqin dynasty effectively take on the surname Lin.

A Black Cave Sovereign absolutely has the right to seize royal authority. The critical issue is that Liu Yun'er and Liu Shishi, these two daughters of the Liu Family, had an ambiguous relationship with Zhou Heng, and Zhou Heng was the man of Hongyue. The Lin Family's move undoubtedly had deep significance.

Are they testing the limits of Hongyue?

If Hongyue shows no reaction, does it mean she admits she can't match up and thus swallows her pride?

The open and hidden struggles among such great figures aren't something anyone can interfere with. Everyone can only quietly observe the changes, as provoking either side would surely lead to dire consequences!

Actually, they were overthinking it, for they did not understand Hongyue's strength. For Hongyue, everything depended on her mood. When in a good mood, she could kill with one slap; when in a bad mood, she could swat someone to death, and when she's not in the mood for anything, nothing can disturb her!

Now, it seemed the witch was not in any mood, always gazing towards the sky, watching for days on end, incredibly unbusinesslike.

At this moment, Zhou Heng was invited into the Imperial Palace.

He wasn't afraid that the Lin Family would act unfavorably towards him while Hongyue's strength remained unseen, so he proceeded calmly.

— In fact, in such a small place as the Imperial Capital, Hongyue's Divine Sense was enough to envelop everything, making it impossible even for Lin Wubing to succeed in an attack! But Lin Xianyang was different.

This was a matter among the younger generation. If Zhou Heng couldn't handle even this defeated opponent, what qualifications would he have to talk about advancing to the Chaos Realm, an alternative sainthood?

Lin Xianyang had at most just entered the Comet Realm, and Zhou Heng currently had twenty-one drops of Essence Stone Origin Liquid, meaning he had twenty-one chances to face an ordinary Comet Emperor without fear. Of course, if it were a Comet Emperor with strong runes, it would be different, but Lin Xianyang shouldn't be that formidable.

Speaking of Treasure Artifacts, Lin Xianyang was even less qualified to compare with him.

But what qualifications did such a Lin Xianyang have to push him to rage?

Zhou Heng sighed, deliberately refusing to use Treasure Artifacts or exert all his strength. This couldn't truly stir his extreme emotions, and Lin Xianyang was not a significant threat, making this really troublesome!

If Lin Xianyang knew that Zhou Heng considered him an opponent not worthy of being formidable, how would he feel?

Along the way to the Imperial Palace, everything was peaceful and uneventful. It seemed that Lin Xianyang had gained confidence and disdained using assassination methods, wanting to knock Zhou Heng down in front of everyone, regaining the face he had lost!

This was Zhou Heng's second time entering the Imperial Palace. He was invited to a side hall, and after a while, the sound of clinking ornaments resounded, and before him appeared an incomparably beautiful woman with an exceptionally voluptuous figure, each part exuding seductive allure.

"I am Zhao Luoyan, greetings to Young Master Zhou!" The beautiful woman bowed slightly, revealing her jade-like skin at the neckline. Although she didn't reveal any key parts, she stirred endless imagination, making one's heart throb.

This was Liu Yun'er's mother, the current Empress!

No wonder she could so thoroughly captivate the Great Demon Dragon Emperor and make a radiant Comet Emperor willingly submit as a slave; she indeed possessed such immense charm!

This was a woman capable of enchanting all beings! (To be continued. If you like this work, feel free to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets on Qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian.com for reading.)
