When Shen Que and Sun Shehu left, Dongguo Chenxi came in carrying a bowl of ginseng soup.

Seeing Zhong Tianque's smiling face, she asked, "Is there something joyful happening?"

Zhong Tianque took the ginseng soup, sipped it lightly, and shook his head, saying, "It's nothing worth rejoicing about; it can even be said it's not a good thing."

"Then why are you smiling like this?" Dongguo Chenxi gathered the hem of her long dress, sitting gracefully and elegantly on the sofa, with a puzzled expression.

"Because someone is worse off than me."

"The Shen Family?"

Dongguo Chenxi, intelligent as always, immediately understood the key information.

Asking who Zhong Tianque hates the most at the moment, it must be Shen Wuxiang. Tang Fei might not even rank in the top three...

Originally, as the Crown Prince commanding the ministers, he only waited for Zhong Daolong to abdicate, so he could naturally step forward to grasp the nation's helm.

Unexpectedly, Zhong Tianyi colluded with the traitor Tang Fei, overturned the table, kidnapped his father and a group of Zhong Royal Family members, and he himself was held by Shen Wuxiang due to "rare goods" and became a puppet for his control of the Realm.

Now, on the surface, he is still the Crown Prince, the nominal ruler of the country, but as everyone knows...

He is actually just a dog raised by the Shen Family.

The Shen Family makes him kill people, he must kill people.

The Shen Family makes him bite people, he must bite people.

Even his mother's sworn-in steel sister Zhong Yu Xiu Xue...

Under the duress of Shen Wuxiang, he has to stand up and accuse her of treason.

How absurd is that, Zhong's children committing treason?

I betrayed myself?

Zhong Tianque looked up at Dongguo Chenxi and explained: "Tang Fei has arrived in the Capital City, wanting to take Doctor Qin Luo to treat Lu Yu, currently being encircled by the Ba Dao Sect's Zhao Wuji..."

"Unexpectedly, Tang Fei used Qin Luo as a lure, ambushing many people on Moon Island...the Ba Dao Sect might not hold out, just now Shen Que and Sun Shehu came over, wanting to solicit my opinion, dispatch troops over there for assistance..."

"It's quite heartening...such a formidable figure like Shen Wuxiang, yet consistently suffered multiple setbacks at the hands of Tang Fei."

"And Shen Xinglan...bullshit prodigious talent, repeatedly losing to Tang Fei."

"Reportedly, if it weren't for Shen Wuxiang personally intervening, even handing over Lu Yu, he wouldn't have saved his own life..."

His gaze turned sarcastic, mocking as he said: "Look, are the men of the Shen Family just so-so? Don't you agree?"

"..."

Dongguo Chenxi's heart throbbed violently.

She naturally knew Zhong Tianque's question had malicious intent, the men of the Shen Family just so-so...her affair with Shen Leyou was even more contemptible.

Even though her anger and shame were overwhelming, she forcibly suppressed her inner fury, gave Zhong Tianque a stern look and said: "Tianque, I understand you dislike the Shen Family, even hate them..."

"But, you must understand our situation. We are actually living under the surveillance of the Shen Family. If they let us live, we can live."

"When they don't need us any more, or feel we are uncontrollable...we will disappear by some unknown means."

Crash!

Zhong Tianque smashed the soup bowl to the ground forcefully, grabbed Dongguo Chenxi's neck, rudely raised her chin, and angrily roared: "What? Have you really considered yourself one of the Shen Family? Starting to speak for them?"

Dongguo Chenxi raised her head, her gaze stubbornly meeting Zhong Tianque's eyes: "Zhong Tianque, if I really sided with them, I wouldn't be saying these things to you...I would just honestly report all your actions to them."

"I know you hate me, think I'm dirty...but I'm still your rightful wife."

"If you still want to live well, if you still seek an opportunity to turn the table...the best way is to follow the Shen Family's intentions in doing things. At least that's what's needed now."

"Hide your hatred in your heart. It can't kill others, it will only harm yourself."

Zhong Tianque's malice gradually dissipated, his bloodshot pupils returned to normal.

His two fingers inserted into Dongguo Chenxi's mouth, his gaze lascivious and wicked as he said: "I have seen the video of you and Shen Leyou, really a slutty whore..."

"Come on, pose the positions you tried...let me experience Shen Leyou's pleasure."

Dongguo Chenxi's eyes turned red, yet obediently knelt on the ground.

She knew, this was very humiliating.

But at least he was willing to accept her.

Ever since that scandal, he never touched her.

------

Tang Fei and Zhao Wuji fought a fierce battle.

Zhao Wuji, worthy of being a renowned Grandmaster-level expert, when he fully wielded his Azure Dragon Crescent Blade, the unparalleled and overwhelming offensive made Tang Fei retreat repeatedly, unable to get close.

This made Tang Fei's plan to use his unpredictable movement technique to approach for a fatal strike fall flat.

No way could it be like the slogan he shouted earlier, "swift battle and quick decision," ending the fight in the shortest time.

Timing, terrain, and harmony...

He barely managed to gain some harmony.

Moon Island is less than three hundred kilometers from Phoenix City, just a twitch away for the Star Disc or battle aircraft.

If Shen Wuxiang really deployed an army to besiege them, it would be tough for them to escape.

He wanted to take out the Ba Dao Sect and capture the fierce dog raised by the Shen Family.

But if he accidentally got himself trapped, it would be a significant loss.

The Yin Erosion Sword Blade ripped through the humid night, Tang Fei's right leg slightly bent and suddenly sprang, the sword edge bursting into nine pitch-black shadows, carrying a piercing bloody wind towards Zhao Wuji's throat.

The third sword of the Netherworld Scroll, "has death."

With one's body, exchange for the enemy's life.

Tang Fei had lost patience; he wanted to use this risky move to cut down Zhao Wuji.

Zhao Wuji dragged the Yanyue Blade backward half a step, the ancient bronze blade handle clashing against his back, erupting into a metallic roar, the Azure Dragon phantom howled from the blade guard, the swirling Qi Force lifting the waves hundreds of feet on the sea.

Attack failed.

Come again.

Tang Fei suddenly flipped his left palm, condensing Yin Erosion True Qi into a seven-foot Ghost Claw striking towards the chest.

The fifth sword of the Netherworld Scroll, Yama.

Zhao Wuji had just fended off "has death" and Yama, a spine-chilling sense of crisis gripped him.

This kid's Sword Technique is too bizarre, too wicked, never seen, never heard.

Combined with his movement technique, like wind and mist, hard to capture, truly giving a near-death feeling.

Every time a sword pierced through, he felt he was about to die.

Each time he parried, there was a sense of surviving from death.

So young, how can one master such mysterious and extraordinary Sword Technique?

No wonder even the genius youth of the Shen Family repeatedly failed against him.

Such an opponent... indeed deadly.

Originally, taking tonight's task, he thought it a great achievement.

After all, he had given Tang Fei enough attention.

From the Sect Leader of the Ba Dao Sect downward, seven grandmasters, hundreds of inner sect disciples encircled him...

Even this couldn't hold him?

The crimson blade tassel sliced the rain curtain, Zhao Wuji stomped the crashing waves, leaping seven meters, his body suspended above the dark sea.

The Azure Dragon Crescent Blade curved a full moon arc in the air, three thousand six hundred cyan blade rays poured down like torrential rain.

He felt Tang Fei's daring and resolute killing intent.

He knew, the opponent wanted to quickly resolve the battle.

Or rather, resolve him.

Yet, knowing the opponent's thoughts and plans... he had no way to break through.

Each time a sword struck, he could only muster all his spirit, exert three hundred percent strength to face it.

Any slight mistake, and he would have his head chopped off.

When the Azure Dragon phantom bit the Yin Erosion Sword Blade, a radiant smile appeared on Tang Fei's lips.

The sword blade suddenly disintegrated into thousands of black flies, buzzing towards Zhao Wuji's eyes.

Zhao Wuji panicked, the Yanyue Blade in his hand suddenly expanded tenfold, its blade back entwined with lightning, pressing down with force to cleave mountains and still seas.

With one mighty thrust, break all methods.

No matter what schemes you employ, I will sweep thousands with my dominant cultivation technique.

Where the clearing light passed, the countless black flies instantly vanished.

A relieved smile appeared on Zhao Wuji's lips after the danger was resolved, still relying on dominant power...

Hmm?

He looked down at his chest.

A pitch-black Bone Sword pierced through his heart, penetrating his broad body.

One sword pierces the heart.
