What appeared next
was a dog lying at the doorway, wagging its tail eagerly.
The scene flickered again.
It changed once more.
What appeared next was a centipede arching over forty pairs of legs as it trimmed its own nails.
And after the centipede was the Big Dog Bear, lazily sprawled on the ground, tracing circles on its belly.
Finally,
the scene closed.
And the power of the formation and images dissipated.
The sky returned to its clear state.
However, the entire Yunding Imperial Palace had become excited.
The Cloud Top King even pointed to the sky, excitedly shouting: "Haha, we found them! It's those four, I said who would have such grand tricks, turns out there are four people!"
"Congratulations to the King, congratulations to the Destroyer of the World, you have found the masterminds behind this!"
"Yes, yes, yes, these four actually dare to go against my Cloud Top Empire, kill them!"
"Right, we must kill them."
"These ignorant fools, I suggest we immediately dispatch experts to capture all four of them!"
At that moment, the other experts present also chimed in with encouraging voices, itching to set out and capture these four individuals.
On the side,
the exhausted Destroyer of the World also revealed a delighted smile.
Although the expenditure was tremendous, this scheme was not in vain!
Through his astral powers, he had finally found the masterminds behind all this.
However, for some reason,
these three demons and one person felt somewhat familiar to him.
Especially that one in tight pants and bean shoes, he felt a particular connection to that figure.
But he couldn't recall the details at the moment.
He didn't dwell on it further.
Perhaps he had crossed paths with these three demons and one person many times before in secret, hence this sense of familiarity!
After a brief rest, the Destroyer of the World and the Cloud Top King returned to the Yunding Palace.
"So what's the plan?" the Destroyer of the World asked.
"Naturally, we cannot let them off," the Cloud Top King coldly laughed, clenching his fist.
"How specifically shall we carry this out?"
The Destroyer of the World leisurely said, "Since these three demons and one person are capable of interfering with the cosmic forces, they are no ordinary beings. Apart from their appearances, we know nothing about them. It may not be advisable to rashly confront them!"
"You can rest assured about that, I have a plan!"
The Cloud Top King smiled, raising the corners of his mouth.
"Oh?"
The Destroyer of the World looked curious.
"Below my Cloud Top Empire's underground palace, there is a natural killing formation. The environment within is harsh, devoid of spiritual energy. It is also infested with ancient remnant evil spirits. Even you and I couldn't last more than seven days inside."
"So, all we need to do is find them, first use formations to seal and imprison them. Once imprisoned, we can then utilize my Cloud Top Empire's top-tier treasure to directly transport them into the underground palace killing formation!"
"This way, we can eliminate them without any effort or risk on our part, placing them in a dead end!" The Cloud Top King leisurely explained.
"A brilliant idea."
The Destroyer of the World's eyes lit up as he slapped his thigh in admiration.
"Once these three demons and one person are dead, and the cosmic forces are restored, it will be effortless for us!"
"Hahaha..."
"Splendid, simply splendid..."
...
Below a pleasure house.
Four sneaky shadows appeared.
"Big brother, you're so bold!"
"To actually steal ten whole gold coins from the master, he'll kill someone if he finds out!" The dog frowned with concern.
"What's there to be afraid of? A man should die under the peony flowers, even as a ghost he'll be dashing!" Lu Benwei swaggered with his arms akimbo, then said in a lowered voice, "Besides, this scoundrel has become smarter now. If anything, I'll just avoid going back for a while."
"Oh?"
Ao Qing's eyes flickered as he exclaimed, "Could it be that big brother has a brilliant idea?"
"Not brilliant, but we'll avoid the storm for now!"
Lu Benwei laughed heartily with his arms akimbo.
A skeleton and three beasts donning bamboo hats swaggered into the red-light district before them.
"Enough, enough!"
"I'm so tired!"
"Hehehe, little sister, I've caught you."
"Heeheehee, hahaha, it's so big!"
Inside the private room,
there were songs, dances, and unrestrained revelry.
But the fellows were enjoying themselves thoroughly.
However, danger was approaching from outside the room.
To orchestrate this night's operation, the Cloud Top Empire had spared no effort.
First, they surrounded the pleasure house.
Silently setting up formations around it.
Meanwhile, the Destroyer of the World and the Cloud Top King personally anchored the formation, erecting a barrier around the pleasure house to prevent those inside from detecting any disturbance.
"How is the formation setup progressing?"
The Destroyer of the World asked.
"Nearly complete,"
The Cloud Top King smiled, "Once complete, it will form a massive cage, trapping anyone inside unable to escape. After that, the teleportation formation will activate, directly transporting these four fools into the underground palace killing formation."
"Excellent."
The Destroyer of the World beamed with excitement.
"The laughable part is that these fools, oblivious to their impending doom, are still indulging in this petty pleasure house," the Cloud Top King mocked. "They don't even know how they'll die."
"Don't celebrate too soon, one never knows what unexpected events may occur before the final moment," the Destroyer of the World cautioned solemnly, pressing his palm down, though his face was still spread in a wide grin.
A moment later, a shadowy figure quietly arrived and nodded towards the Destroyer of the World and the King.
Seeing this, the two exchanged a glance.
With a wave of their palms, the group collectively retreated from the formation.
Outside the formation, the Cloud Top Empire chanted incantations, summoning a massive teleportation talisman.
"Balalalalala..."
After a series of incantations, the teleportation formation radiated a blinding light, abruptly enveloping the entire pleasure house.
"Keep singing, keep dancing!"
Inside the room, just as Lu Benwei was pouring liquor over his skeletal bones, reveling in the joyous atmosphere while the others were drunkenly swaying, a pillar of light shot towards them, dragging them all inside.
"Aiya, what's happening?"
"Sister, where's the sister?"
"Brother, it's moving so fast, I want to puke."
"Qing, hold it in."
"My leg, I lost a leg, brother, help me find it."
"Xiong Da, Bald Qiang is chopping trees again!"
The three demons and one skeleton, in their drunken stupor, were rapidly teleported towards the Yunding Underground Palace Killing Formation.
"Hahaha!"
Seeing them obliviously babbling on the verge of death, the Destroyer of the World and the Cloud Top King erupted into mocking laughter.
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
't think I'm that capable, I'm just trying my best to stay alive. I've been kind all my life, never did anything bad, yet worldly suffering spared me not one bit. The human world is a nice place, but I won't come back in my next life. A kind young man, who wanted to just get by singing, but through repeated deceits and betrayals, has gone down an irredeemable path.
ng to die together with you." Lin Xuan is dead, his body thrown into the river by his scumbag lover and her accomplice. She, the president of the Su Group, is decisive, ruthless, and ice-cold. For three days and three nights, she had his body fished out of the river, and without hesitation, she kissed the bloated corpse of Lin Xuan. She laid down beside him in a cold coffin, their fingers intertwined, a smile lingering on her lips as she closed her eyes. The noble and cold-hearted woman, only bending for one man—Lin Xuan. Lin Xuan, with his golden finger, is reborn and returns to the day of his wedding to the treacherous woman. Su Qiang comes to steal the bride.
