A Demon's Journey

Chapter 622 Overturning The Zhongxing Kingdom Within A Single Night

In just one night, the Zhongxing Kingdom witnessed a seismic shift.

The Jin Family, rulers of Dongchun City and its surroundings, found themselves under a surprise attack.

The shocking part?

The Jin Family's mansion and all their structures remained untouched and secure.

In that fateful night, however, all the top leaders and experts of the Jin Family met their demise. William spared the survivors—children, women, and weaker warriors.

His reasoning wasn't born out of newfound kindness, but rather a calculated move. He wanted the seeds of vengeance to sprout in their hearts, ensuring that Long Chen and the Ren Family faced ongoing challenges.

Having encountered numerous warriors with exceptional providence, William understood that it was adversity, not a surplus of resources, that fueled rapid growth. The danger, the struggle—these were the catalysts for remarkable advancement.

After executing the Jin Family's leaders and experts, William swiftly soared towards Liyang City, the Zhongxing Kingdom's Royal Capital.

The aura surrounding William surpassed that of a King Realm warrior, making all attempts by royal guards to halt him futile.

Entering the Royal Palace unimpeded, William confronted the bewildered and befuddled Monarch, who had moments ago been sleeping peacefully on his bed within his chambers.

"Now... I can see the confusion and shock on your face. But I'm sure you can sense the power I'm radiating. And just to answer the question brewing in your mind, yes. I am indeed an Emperor Realm expert," William declared with a hurried yet authoritative tone.

The Monarch, barely able to fathom the reality before him, hastily rose from his bed and bowed respectfully.

He humbly said, "It is our honor to meet a warrior of your caliber, Sir. What can we do for you?"

William didn't stop him. Instead, he continued to speak, "I have personally eliminated the leaders and all experts of the Jin Family. I want you to relinquish the wealth, land, and status of the Jin Family to the Ren Family. Moreover, you need to support and protect them from any internal or external threats for one year. After that, leave them to fend for themselves."

The Monarch of the Zhongxing Kingdom found himself in a whirlwind of shock and confusion. The Ren Family, a once-ruined clan, had somehow become entangled with an Emperor Realm warrior of unparalleled might. The monarch struggled to reconcile this improbable connection.

In the face of such overwhelming power, the monarch knew that refusal wasn't an option. The fact that this formidable warrior had annihilated the top echelons of the Jin Family made it clear — he was resolute in his intent to place the Ren Family at the helm of Dongchun City and its surrounding territories.

As the monarch delved into contemplation, he concluded that while the internal politics of his kingdom would undergo substantial changes, the overall strength of the Zhongxing Kingdom would only experience a minor dip.

With newfound confidence, the Monarch of the Zhongxing Kingdom spoke, "Yes sir. It shall be done."

"Good. I want you to begin the official preparations starting from tomorrow," William spoke calmly. He then added, "You will be compensated appropriately for this."

The monarch, anxious and humbled, responded, "We don't dare to ask for any compensation."

"I am not asking or requesting you; I am telling," William retorted coldly.

"Yes, sir!" The monarch relented immediately.

With his departure, the Zhongxing Kingdom found itself on the cusp of internal transformation.

Upon returning to his hotel room in Dongchun City, William found his wives patiently awaiting his arrival. Briefly sharing the details of his recent endeavors, the wearied group settled onto the bed, seeking much-needed rest.

As the new day dawned, William, calm and collected as ever, decided to pay a visit to Long Chen and Ren Yue.

Seated in the comfortable living hall, William faced Long Chen and Ren Yue, both looking up to him with a respectful air.

"Hey, I've got some news that might interest you two," William began casually, a serene expression on his face.

Long Chen, ever respectful, inclined his head, waiting for the tidings. Ren Yue, her eyes revealing a silent gratitude, maintained a composed demeanor.

"I took care of the Jin family, wiped out their top brass," William disclosed, his tone almost nonchalant.

Long Chen's eyes widened in surprise, "You did? That's... unexpected."

A sly smile played on William's lips as he continued, "Yeah, had a chat with the Monarch too. Soon enough, the Ren Family is getting a promotion. Dongchun City and its surroundings will be yours. For a year, the Royal Family will be your safety net, guarding against any troubles."

Long Chen, genuinely pleased, responded, "Wow, William, I can't thank you enough for doing this for the Ren Family. This means a lot."

William, waving off the gratitude, replied in a laid-back manner, "Hey, no big deal. Just doing what I can, you know? I need you to grow quickly and start working on your dream."

Long Chen nodded with a smile and spoke resolutely, "I will definitely repay this favor in the future."

"Sure, sure," William spoke. He then cast a glance at Ren Yue.

While Long Chen expressed his gratitude openly, Ren Yue remained silent. Yet, her eyes conveyed a gratitude that words couldn't capture. Unbeknownst to her, William's Charm Vision subtly worked its magic, solidifying his influence over her. He could sense the burgeoning favorability in her gaze, an assurance that loyalty was taking root.

As the conversation reached its natural conclusion, William leaned back, a subtle hint of satisfaction on his face, "Well, folks, it's time for me to hit the road. But worry not, Long Chen. Your estate will receive all those promised gifts soon."

Long Chen nodded appreciatively, "Thank you, William. Your support means a lot to us."

Getting up from his seat, William strolled towards the door, signaling the end of his stay. "It's been a pleasure, truly. Take care, both of you."

Long Chen and Ren Yue followed him to the door, expressing their farewells. "Goodbye, William. And thank you again," Long Chen said sincerely.

Ren Yue added her gratitude, "Safe travels, William. We'll make the most of the opportunities you've provided."

With a nod and a final wave, William stepped out into the open air, leaving Long Chen and Ren Yue at the doorway. The door closed behind him.

Once the door shut, Ren Yue turned to Long Chen with a thoughtful expression. "I think I need a new dress for the upcoming ceremony. You know, the reinstatement of the Ren Family as the rulers of this region. I want to look my best as I also take on my new role as the ruler."

Long Chen smiled, understanding her desire to make a statement. "Sure, Ren Yue. Take your time. I'll be here when you get back."

With that, Ren Yue exited the house, her steps quickening as she made her way to the market. Little did Long Chen know that this wasn't just about a new dress – it was a well-crafted excuse. Ren Yue had received a mental command, a subtle suggestion from none other than William himself.

Near the market, William waited patiently, a knowing smile playing on his lips.

It didn't take long before he spotted her approaching. With a subtle confidence, he closed the distance and pulled her into an embrace, his demeanor carrying a hint of dominance.

"Let's go and enjoy a bit, my dear," William whispered, a playful glint in his eyes.

Ren Yue sensed an undertone of desire in William's actions, but she found herself willingly swept away by his somewhat dominant advances. Succumbing to the magnetic pull, she allowed him to lead the way.

As they walked, William's grip on Ren Yue's arm tightened, his fingers digging into her soft skin.

The two soon entered a nearby inn and William took Ren Yue to one of his private rooms there.

As they entered the room, William's desire grew even more intense.

With one swift movement, he pinned Ren Yue against the wall, his hardened body pressed against her soft curves.

His lips found hers in a hungry kiss, their tongues tangling together as they explored each other's mouths.

His hand roamed across her supple skin, tracing the outline of her perfect breasts before reaching lower to grasp at the laces of her dress.

With a fierce determination, he tore apart the delicate fabric, revealing Ren Yue's voluptuous form in all its glory. Her full breasts jutted out from her chest, topped with pink, erect nipples begging for his attention. His gaze roamed lower, taking in the soft curve of her stomach and the tantalizing V of her dark curls.

Ren Yue was breathless, her heart pounding against her chest. She felt a mixture of fear and excitement as William's dominance took hold of her.

She was powerless to resist his advances, her body responding to his touch with an intensity that took her by surprise.

Despite her initial shock, Ren Yue could not deny the primal desire coursing through her veins. Her hands roamed up William's chest, tracing the lines of his muscles as they explored each other's bodies further.

As he claimed her mouth in another deep, passionate kiss, she surrendered completely to him, whimpering in pleasure.
