Seeing the incident, Xu Kai seemed to not believe if his grandfather committed the crime. After Xu Wang's departure, soon Xu Kai approached Shu En and tried to help the young man.
“No! He is my savior! I can't let him die!”
Xu Kai looked panicked because the blood coming out of Shu En's stomach was so much, but just as Xu Kai was about to touch Shu En's wounded stomach a red aura appeared slowly.
“Fire?”
Xu Kai was shocked when he saw the flames slowly turning into flames that burned Shu En's stomach. Not knowing what had happened to Shu En, Xu Kai tried to extinguish the fire but it was not extinguished.
“Calm down, I won't be that easy..”.
“You're alive?”
Xu Kai was again startled by Shu En holding Xu Kai's hand, then Shu En threw Xu Kai's hand out with a faint smile.
“Xu Kai, what do you think of your Grandpa?”
Shu En asked to confirm whether Xu Kai could be made his subordinate or not meet his criteria.
“Kakek... I made him a role model. He was the figure who saved the Yang Empire from the cruelty of black cultivators. I want to be like her.”
Although Xu Kai said that but he felt doubtful. Xu Kai hesitated was not without reason because after seeing for himself Xu Wang's expression was different from what he used to see.
“Your face looks doubtful, Xu Kai..” Shu En responded.
Then Shu En slowly got up to sit down while holding his stomach.
“Zhuan, thanks.”
After Shu En said that, the Phoenix flames disappeared and Shu En's stomach wound healed completely. Seeing this incident left Xu Kai astonished.
Xu Kai looked at Shu En sharply and felt fear. It was clear that Shu En had been hiding his abilities and made Xu Kai think that Shu En was one of the influential cultivators in the Blue Moon Continent.
“Tonight, a large army will ravage the Capital of Luoyang. The one who masterminded all of that is your Grandfather, Xu Wang,” Shu En said suddenly.
“Not only for this time, but previous events such as the murder of Emperor Yang and long before that, were all masterminded by the Beast King of the Beast, Xu Wang. Your grandfather was one of the seven high-ranking Pagodas of Seven Colors.” Shu En added.
Hearing that directly from Shu En made Xu Kai startled. Of course Shu En did not immediately believe Shu En's words, but he wanted to make sure with his own eyes after seeing what happened today.
“Young Master En, you are my savior. I don't want to believe what you said and honestly right now I want to smash your face for accusing my grandfather like that.”
Xu Kai looked at Shu En sharply and said that he would seek the truth himself.
“I will look with my own eyes and prove all your sayings are mere accusations.”
After that, the two separated. Shu En smiled and completely eliminated his presence, then he disappeared to make a move against the Seven Colors Pagoda under Xu Wang's leadership.
At the same time, the burial process of the bodies of both Yang Ruan's parents went smoothly. Many residents were present to pay their last respects to the figure of Emperor Yang and his wife.
The nobles and important people in the Yang Empire were also present. However some white flow cultivators close to Emperor Yang were not present there. There is a bird news if in recent weeks many attacks carried out by mysterious groups against several sects that support the government of Emperor Yang.
Yang Ruan who was unaware of what was going to happen in the Luoyang Capital. But Yang Ruan's uneasy feeling spread quickly and made him uneasy.
“Miss Xia, why did I become so agitated? I cannot be calm and so anxious,” said Yang Ruan.
“Maybe it's just your feelings, Princess.” Tang Xia replied.
‘He has strong intuition. I met him when I was a kid and he was the same age as Brother Shu. Keep your head up, Yang Ruan, if you want to get through this atrocity.’ Tang Xia sat down before glancing at Xu Wang who was conversing with the imperial generals.
Right after Xu Wang conversed with the imperial generals, the old man approached Tang Xia and offered the girl a job.
However Tang Xia refused firmly and it made Xu Wang slightly offended. Xu Wang's arrogant attitude that was suddenly shown made Yang Ruan astonished.
‘Did Grandpa Wang always behave like this?’ Yang Ruan wondered inwardly.
“Young girl, how much did that young man pay you? I will pay you many times more than him!” xu Wang said to Tang Xia.
“I don't have the right to answer all your questions! I obviously refused!” Tang Xia replied firmly.
This made Xu Wang smile widely and let go of the killing intent in an instant. Without concealing his intentions, Xu Wang directly signaled to the imperial generals to surround Tang Xia as well as Yang Ruan.
“You all surround them both and make sure you don't hurt them! They are both valuable national treasures!” said Xu Wang giving the order.
“The Liu family is also in chaos after we managed to kill their family head!”
“They accuse each other and no one realizes that we are the ones doing it!”
Hearing the general's words made cold sweat drench Yang Ruan's face. Clearly what Xu Wang and the imperial generals did was betrayal.
“Grandfather Wang! What does all this mean?!”
Seeing Yang Ruan who had yet to understand the situation made Xu Wang laugh.
“Mr Princess, haven't you noticed?”
“Today I always told my subordinates to make a mess in this country and I crushed them. Thanks to that you called me a wise man.”
Xu Wang approached Yang Ruan and smiled with a grin as he looked at the girl's pale expression.
“Aren't you curious about the man who was behind your parents' murder?”
Xu Wang stretched out his hand holding Yang Ruan's cheek gently.
“That person is me..”
Yang Ruan's body suddenly went limp as Xu Wang exposed everything.
“No... No. gabe... This can't happen!” Yang Ruan screamed hysterically for not wanting to believe it.
“That's exactly what happened, Princess! The one who poisoned and crippled your grandfather was also me! In my eyes all of you are just useless fools who deserve to be taken advantage of!” xu Wang said firmly.
Just as Xu Wang's hand was about to touch Yang Ruan's lips, a punch hit his stomach and made his body retreat a few steps away.
“Grandpa! What are you saying is true?!”
The one who hit just now was Xu Kai. It appeared Xu Kai was staring elaborately at Xu Wang. There was an expression of hatred, disappointment and overwhelming anger.
“Grandfather? Xu Kai, you should know this.” Xu Wang held onto his stomach and looked at Xu Kai sharply.
“You are not my grandson, but you are my son. I raped your mother and made her conceive you. All this time I raised you alone because your mother was dead.”
Hearing this made Xu Kai's emotions explode. Xu Wang's truly annoying and innocent expression made Xu Kai release a huge amount of Qi.
Xu Kai intended to attack Xu Wang but before Xu Kai took action, Xu Wang launched several powerful punches and brought Xu Kai to his knees.
“Be aware of your position! Do you think that you can defeat me who is known as the King of the Beast?!”
After making Xu Kai sprawl, Xu Wang laughed widely and snapped his fingers. The sound of a snap of his finger was heard echoing to the corners of the Luoyang Capital as a sign of assault.
“Time of massacre!”
But none of his subordinates showed up to execute the plan. Until a few minutes later there was no sign the members of the Seven Colors Pagoda would attack.
“What happened? Where are they all?!” Xu Wang asked firmly to the imperial generals.
“We don't know it, Senior Xu!”
Xu Wang clucked in annoyance before looking at Tang Xia who was standing quietly without caring what happened.
“Fucking girl! Is this all you?!”
Knowing the approaching Xu Wang, Tang Xia laughed softly before pointing towards the roof of the buildings around them.
”Myway? Are you kidding me, senile grandfather?”
“I think my Master did it.”
Immediately Xu Wang turned his head to the roof of the building and found Shu En standing by observing them.
“You?! No way! I should have killed you!”
Shu En laughed coldly at Xu Wang's surprised expression.
“You can't kill me! It's you I'm gonna kill!”
After Shu En said that the air around him became cold. The ice in an instant froze whatever was around him.
“At the moment we're serious!” shu En said with a cold gaze looking at Xu Wang who was frozen in fear.
