“I’m not joking,” said Shangguan Jing seriously. “I’m serious here. Although I’m just a bit of consciousness, I’m still capable enough to help you.”
“It’s nothing to be thankful about. I’ve long grown sick and tired of the Tianling God Realm after staying there for thousands of years. If I didn’t meet you, I wouldn’t have the chance to come out again. Besides… For some reason, my powers seem to have grown stronger lately…” said Shangguan Jing.
The last bit of information surprised Chu Liuyue. “Aren’t you just a bit of consciousness? How come you’re getting stronger?”
Chu Liuyue was caught between laughter and tears. After thinking for a while, she decided to leave this matter aside and start discussing how to solve the problem of Messed Yuan Gravel with Weichi Song and Qiang Wanzhou instead.
…
Peerless Palace.

There was a bloodbath inside and outside the majestic palace, with corpses lying strewn across the ground. The pungent stench of blood was suffocating.
The main hall was surrounded by many soldiers in heavy armor, and standing in the middle of it all was Zhang Youfang—Peerless Palace’s owner.
Behind him stood about 100 people—who appeared to be in miserable states with injuries all over them. At this moment, their eyes were all trained on the man in black in front of them.
He appeared stern and majestic as his cloak fluttered in the bitter wind. His deep eyes were like ice that had been frosted for thousands of years, and an intimidating sense of malice exuded from him. “Rong Xiu, what have my people done wrong that you have to go to the extent of eradicating them?!”
With bloodshot eyes, Zhang Youfang glared at Rong Xiu—the person who had mercilessly destroyed the entire Peerless Palace.
“Others may not know, but don’t tell me that you have no idea either, Zhang Youfang. Do you really think that you can kill me outside Heaven’s Canopy?” asked Rong Xiu lightly with a calm and aloof expression. His thin lips curled upward as he shot the other man and his subordinates a cold, disdainful look as if he were looking at ants.
He spoke calmly. “Aren’t you people… Overestimating your capabilities a little too much?”
While they might stand some chance if Rong Xiu was alone with his powers suppressed outside Heaven’s Canopy, it was impossible now. The ones who would end up dead would be them.
Despite the smile on Rong Xiu’s face, it didn’t reach his eyes. “I’ve given you enough chances. Besides… It just so happens that I lack an opportunity to establish new rules while I was away. You’ve solved my problem by offering yourselves at my doorstep.”
He hadn’t taken any actions so far because he was still in the middle of preparations and wanted to lure out the people hiding in the dark. Now that he was fully prepared, he naturally had no more concerns. Thus, he decided to strike hard this time.
Rong Xiu raised his sword…
When the sword landed, Zhang Youfang was overwhelmed with deep despair.
The soldiers—who had been waiting around for a long time—charged forward at once, and the situation quickly became a one-sided massacre.
Rong Xiu watched this scene with utter calmness and indifference as screams and battle sounds gradually died down.

Right at that moment, a clear chirp was heard.
A bird then landed on Yan Qing’s arm when he lifted it. From a close distance, one could see that this wasn’t a real fiend but an intricately made sparrow. However, it was so vivid and lifelike that it looked no different from an ordinary sparrow.
When Yan Qing tapped the sparrow on the head, it opened its mouth and spat out a small ball. Having been told to pass all messages from Xi Ling to Rong Xiu’s hands directly, he did as told—although this message came somewhat abruptly—and presented it to Rong Xiu. “It’s a message from Xi Ling, Your Highness.”
With a lift of Rong Xiu’s hand, the small ball flew to his palm. His long, slender fingers gently crushed it into powder, which quickly coalesced in the air to form a few lines of words.
His eyebrows rose slightly as his gaze swept across the words.
Standing aside, Yan Qing and Yu Mo suddenly sensed cold air emanating from Rong Xiu, which made them exchange glances right away.
The words then disappeared with a light wave of Rong Xiu’s hand.
“Yu Mo,” called Rong Xiu.
“Yes, Your Highness?” Yu Mo hurriedly responded.
“I’ll leave you to deal with Zhang Youfang.”
“Your Highness…” He was just about to beg for mercy, but he immediately zipped his mouth upon receiving a cool look from Rong Xiu.
