Li Yuan said calmly, "Trash."
These simple two words carried a different meaning this time: You’re afraid to go alone, and so you bring a thousand people with you?
Wang Gong’s face turned black. He originally came to suppress and humiliate others, yet suddenly he was the one being suppressed and humiliated.
Xie Yu said in support of her husband, "You’re a coward who dares not make a move and instead drags your men along. According to you, can my husband Gucheng bring a thousand people too?"
She proudly raised her head, showing a mischievous smile, and mocked, "If you dare not fight, then step aside quickly."
But upon seeing her husband’s expression, Xie Yu added, "You humiliated me in the street, humiliated my husband, you should... kneel down and apologize! Only after three loud kowtows can you leave!"
She had an inexplicable confidence in her husband.
After she finished speaking, Wang Gong suddenly roared, "Form up!!"
The thousand cavalry behind him immediately came into formation, and their aura resonated, quickly forming a whole with Wang Gong.
Wang Gong decided to act shamelessly.
However, in front of Li Yuan, the stats of this whole were just "16450~17740."
This was completely within the "30000" value.
So, Li Yuan decided to make a move.
At that moment, Wang Gong only felt himself merging into a powerful force, making him feel proud and satisfied, so he laughed and said, "Humiliation? What humiliation? I..."
The moment he finished speaking, he saw the swordsman in white move.
Wang Gong was dumbfounded.
He instinctively mobilized the army’s aura, raising his hand to unleash a huge, flashing blade-shaped ripple.
The swordsman in white also unleashed a slash.
The two blades clashed.
Bang!
The ripple was instantly shattered.
The swordsman in white brutally shattered the force of the Fifth Grade Elder and the entire army, then rushed to Wang Gong, slashing his head off with a swipe, and then sliced his body, leaving only a heart thumping on the ground.
The thousand iron cavalry had their morale shattered by this slash, standing pale on the spot.
Li Yuan moved so quickly that no one reacted, and when they did, they felt an indescribable terror.
"Trash."
Li Yuan said calmly, then raised his sword, frowning and gently blowing off the dirty blood with disdain, before turning around and riding towards the carriage.
Xie Yu reacted quickly, saying, "Pack up Wang Gong’s heart and bring it back!"
Only then did the steward act hurriedly.
Wang Gong, with Fifth Grade strength, could regenerate a body even if it was lost, as long as his heart remained.
Li Yuan rode leisurely.
Wang Gong leading an army to provoke him was like "when he was still in Shanbao County and a Ninth Grade came to challenge him as the Blood Saber Ancestor."
Such people are to be cut down directly.
...
That day, Xie Yu happily pulled him to a large red General Temple to pray for peace.
Looking at the genuine Ghost Realm marked with a bloody question mark, Li Yuan found this custom very odd.
On their way back, Xie Yu began to tell him about this general.
This was the Grand General from the founding of the Dynasty, buried here for nearly a thousand years.
This Grand General was loyally devoted to the Dynasty, and after death, was buried here, which unexpectedly became a Ghost Realm.
But this Ghost Realm was very peculiar, rarely harming people, and it’s said that anyone holding a Holy Edict could command this Grand General within.
Even more strangely, this Grand General would actually follow orders.
Li Yuan then asked, "Why hasn’t the Emperor come to order the Grand General to help him?"
Xie Yu whispered, "My father said, the Emperor’s Dragon Seal was lost... so he couldn’t issue any orders."
"Dragon Seal?"
"Yes, it’s the Jade Seal held by emperors throughout the ages.
It’s said that the previous Dynasty used it too.
I suppose it’s some kind of treasure," Xie Yu pondered, then added, "What about Wang Gong’s heart?"
Li Yuan said, "Who is Wang Gong?"
Xie Yu was stunned for a moment, then giggled and held him, saying, "After suffering such a huge loss this time, they surely won’t come looking for us again."
Li Yuan said nothing.
He just felt that wasn’t certain.
His father-in-law was like a "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle," constantly making a fool of himself yet enjoying it, so who knows, the people behind might continue to provoke him. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com
Speaking of those people behind, they were likely his father-in-law’s brothers...
Whatever his father-in-law was enduring, Li Yuan didn’t care; he was just calculating and waiting for the Emperor to come.
He should be arriving soon.
The Emperor obviously wouldn’t come directly for an alliance but would wait until reaching the Hanzhou Path and laying siege to the city before entering, then complete the alliance with the Hanzhou Marshal, combine forces, and sweep across the land.
...
...
"The story of Li Yuan leaving Wang Gong slaughtered until only a heart was left" did not lead to retaliation, rather a few days later someone came bearing gifts, deeply apologizing, saying things like "Wang Gong was drunk that day," "Wang Gong deserved it."
Few fools would continue, headstrong, even after seeing the opponent’s strength...
Bullying the weak while fearing the strong is human nature.
The cost of provoking the Xie family’s son-in-law was extremely high, unnecessary, and unaffordable.
After trying once, that group did not want to try again.
And the title of Little Knife God spread once more.
...
...
Days passed one by one.
Li Yuan’s daily life became simple: cultivation; accompany Xie Yu, and if Xie Wei was present, her too; spar with his brother-in-law.
He felt himself growing colder, as if he was about to detach from this Red Dust.
This winter, heavy snow fell.
Clad in white, he went alone to the General Temple.
And as he reached the temple, Xie Wei already knew.
This "Master He" of the Hanzhou Dark Guard, the future Empress, was very curious why Li Yuan went to the General Temple alone.
