Shocking the Nine Heavens With My Sword

After learning about the origins of Ye Guyu and Li Yuncong, Zhou Heng suddenly lost his curiosity and returned to Wuyang Academy with Liu Shishi. As for the invasion of the Imperial Palace, what did that have to do with him?

But in the evening, he received bad news: the Five Dragon Emperors had not returned after sweeping the streets of the Imperial Capital in the afternoon!

Every woman loves shopping, especially for beautiful clothes and sparkling jewelry. Zhou Heng had already witnessed this thoroughly in his wives. Changing outfits, hairstyles, and sets of accessories several times a day was perfectly normal, sometimes even multiple changes in one day.

Of course, this requires enough clothes and jewelry to sustain, so shopping became a major hobby for every woman outside of cultivation.

Such small amounts of money wouldn't even matter to Zhou Heng, nor any Stellar Realm Martial Artist, since it's not cultivation resources—it's astonishingly cheap for high-tier Martial Artists.

But staying out all night? That's not possible even if they were partying their hardest!

Zhou Heng immediately returned to the Imperial Capital, extending his divine sense to trace the faint aura left by the Five Dragon Emperors.

Eventually, the trail pointed directly to the Marshal's Mansion!

The Five Dragon Emperors were imprisoned by the Lin Family?

Damn it!

"Hongyue! Hongyue!" he called out in his mind, knowing such a strong wave of divine sense would surely alert Hongyue.

"What? You're so noisy!" As expected, Hongyue's languid voice instantly sounded.

"I'll owe you one more favor; I want to storm this Marshal's Mansion!" Zhou Heng said in his heart. He already had an established communication channel with Hongyue, naturally set up by her, not by him.

"Two conditions!" Hongyue bargained.

"Deal!" Zhou Heng gritted his teeth and agreed, now furious beyond measure.

"Deal!" Hongyue laughed joyfully, "Feel free to take action, if there's anything you can't handle, I'll take care of it for you!"

That assurance was enough!

Zhou Heng, with a face of cold frost, strode towards the Lin Family.

"Halt!" The eight guards at the door simultaneously drew their blades halfway, glaring angrily at Zhou Heng.

They were all Milky Way Emperors, skilled enough to be considered experts anywhere, potentially powerful enough to establish their own kingdoms in remote places, enjoying a sense of supreme power!

Yet now, they willingly served as gatekeepers!

Because this was the residence of the Black Cave Sovereign!

With this connection, even if they distanced themselves from the Lin Family in the future, they could still use it as leverage. As the saying goes, look at the master before hitting the dog; who knew if they shared any distant relationship with the Lin Family, or what if they angered the Black Cave Sovereign?

This was capital to endure.

Moreover, being a gatekeeper was not disgraceful; quite the contrary! This job was very prestigious because whether it was ministers or Comet-level experts, they all had to obediently wait here, respectfully calling them brothers!

For Comet-level experts, they would greet with a smile, but for those with similar strength, they wouldn't pay them any mind!

Because this was the Grand Marshal's Mansion, home to one of the strongest on Hundred Dragons Star...

Therefore, seeing a Milky Way Emperor striding forward with an unfamiliar face, clearly not a child from the Lin Family, they felt they didn't need to be courteous.

The eight people exuded a formidable aura. If a Comet-level expert arrived, they would report immediately, but for others, a little favor would be necessary, a perk of being guards.

"Let Lin Xianyang come out to see me!" Zhou Heng said flatly, his voice increasingly calm, yet chilling to the bone.

"Ha, hahahaha!" The eight guards exchanged glances and burst into loud laughter. Since Lin Wubing's strong return, they hadn't seen anyone dare act presumptuously at the Grand Marshal's Mansion. Even the Royal Family's Comet Emperors had to respectfully hand in their greeting cards and wait quietly!

Was this Milky Way Emperor out of his mind? Did he think he had the same great status as the two Comet Emperors who came during the day?

Bang! Bang!

Zhou Heng didn't waste words, instead throwing two punches. The two guards blocking him suddenly had their heads explode, headless bodies spraying blood madly as they staggered and waved their hands, only collapsing after a moment.

With his Great Perfection Realm cultivation, who could be his match in the same rank?

"Y-you're so bold!" The remaining six guards said tremblingly, both angry and shocked.

Angry that Zhou Heng dared kill in front of the Black Cave Sovereign's residence, shocked because they might follow the fate of their two fallen companions!

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Zhou Heng spoke no words, swinging his fists again, and four more headless corpses fell.

He was now at the height of his rage, filled with a thirst for slaughter.

The final two guards trembled uncontrollably, also Milky Way Emperors, yet facing Zhou Heng, they couldn't even move a finger, like rabbits watched by a tiger, experiencing instinctual fear in the face of a predator.

The Grand Marshal's Mansion was now no less than the Imperial Palace, with countless people coming every day to show loyalty and seek connection, most without the privilege of meeting Lin Xianyang, let alone Lin Wubing.

But while the two most important people of the Lin Family couldn't be seen, they could still see the Lin family's relatives, like the seventh cousin, eighth cousin brother, third aunt, or fourth great-aunt. As long as there was a slight connection with the Lin Family, it was enough.

The eight guards might not recognize Zhou Heng, but that didn't mean these people couldn't recognize him!

"He, he is Zhou Heng!"

"Miss Hongyue's fiancé!"

"Gasp, why is he attacking the Lin Mansion?"

"Could it be that the two are going to break ties and start a great battle!"

"A great event is happening! A great event is happening!"

Some people immediately hurried away, rushing back to their families to report. This truly was a major event. If the two Black Cave level experts really fought, it would certainly cause a great upheaval in the Empire, and countless people would have to choose new allegiances.

The last two guards shivered all over as they looked at Zhou Heng, finally understanding Zhou Heng's identity, which placed enormous pressure on them, so much so they could barely breathe.

"Young Master Heng, we were blind and foolish, please spare us!" The two were in tears, scared to the core.

Bang! Bang!

Zhou Heng showed no mercy and blasted the last two to death.

If the Lin Family wants war, then give them war!

In this world, there is no right or wrong; whoever has the bigger fist is right!

He strode confidently into the Lin Family's mansion. This was a true invasion.

"Bold audacity, how dare you barge into the Lin Mansion!" Whoosh whoosh whoosh, in just an instant, at least dozens of people shot over, with varying levels of strength, from as low as the Stellar Realm to as high as the Comet Level.

Zhou Heng grinned, but his smile was chilling. He said calmly, "Today, the Lin Family is destined to have rivers of blood!"

"Zhou Heng, what do you mean by this?" Lin Xianyang finally appeared, his Comet-level aura surging. Combined with his Overlord of Martial Arts aura, it could crush any Milky Way Capital before it in an instant.

Unfortunately, he faced Zhou Heng, who was least afraid of divine sense pressure.

"What do I mean?" Zhou Heng casually punched, killing a Milky Way Emperor who attempted to sneak attack him from behind, without even turning his head, saying, "Hand over the five women you captured today, then collectively commit suicide, and I can let the Lin Family's children under ten survive!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the Lin Family was almost driven mad!

To actually demand they all commit suicide!

This even included Lin Wubing, the Black Cave Sovereign!

He's really gone mad!

Even Miss Hongyue, also a Black Cave Sovereign, didn't have such qualification!

"Zhou Heng, I am not aware of anything about five women, but I can inquire for you!" Lin Xianyang apparently forced himself to suppress his anger, his fists trembling intensely as a result.

Zhou Heng looked at Lin Xianyang, and the other party's expression did not seem to be faking it. Perhaps the kidnapping was done by other members of the Lin Family. However, the priority now was to find the five Dragon Sovereigns. How the Lin Family was dealt with could wait until after meeting the five Dragon Sovereigns.

He neither agreed nor disagreed, but Lin Xianyang immediately took action, whispering to people on both sides, and the entire Lin Family suddenly operated at high speed. And during this process, everyone in the Lin Family glared at Zhou Heng with angry eyes.

The Lin Family had plenty of reasons to hate Zhou Heng, for he had ruined their plan to seize the royal power by using Liu Yuner.

Although Lin Wubing could ascend with his own strength at any time, that would leave him with a bad reputation—many people didn't care, but Lin Wubing, who had been the Marshal of Da Qin Country for so many years, cared a lot about his reputation.

In the Lin Family's view, Zhou Heng was just meddling where he wasn't needed. He wasn't going to marry Liu Yuner but wouldn't let others either. How could there be such a person!

Zhou Heng scanned the crowd and noticed one Comet King looking at him with utmost hatred, eyes as if he wanted to eat him alive! Before today, Zhou Heng could guarantee he had never seen this person.

His mind spun rapidly, then suddenly addressed that person: "Lin Wuyue?"

The person paused slightly, couldn't help but reveal a gleam in his eyes, but ignored Zhou Heng.

It really is him!

No wonder he harbors such hatred, as the woman he fancied, Zhao Luoyan, was taken back to Wuyang Academy by Zhou Heng, shattering his dream.

Any man who met Zhao Luoyan wanted to have her!

Lin Wuyue was certain he could have this beauty, but out of nowhere came Zhou Heng, making him hate endlessly and regret not bringing Zhao Luoyan back to the Lin Family immediately, enjoying this stunning beauty every day.

Now, seeing the source of his misery, he could hardly conceal the hate within, though Lin Wubing had strictly instructed them not to provoke Zhou Heng and his entourage, so he could only keep the hatred in, but he could never hide it on his face.

Who made Zhao Luoyan so enchanting that even he, a Comet King, thought about her day and night, feeling an urge to capture her from Wuyang Academy!

Just thinking about Zhao Luoyan's cultivation being no weaker than his own, even forcefully capturing her was impossible, so he had to give up.

It didn't take long before someone returned to Lin Xianyang's side to report the news, and after hearing it, Lin Xianyang couldn't help but show a look of astonishment. (To be continued.
