Ruan Junhao and the others didn't know that in Wang Ruoxie's eyes, the mere East Victory Kingdom was not a threat.
Even though he hadn't yet regained the Celestial Monarch Realm from his previous life, and his power was far from what it once was, after breaking through to the Innate Realm, he could utilize more extraordinary techniques.
What he just told Tang Liren, that he could wipe out the entire Tang Family and make the royal family change its surname, was not merely an attempt to intimidate.
Although doing so would also exact a huge price, the end result would undoubtedly be the annihilation of the Tang Family while he could still survive.
Of course, as long as he could use the Essence Pill obtained from the Silver Armor Corpse to elevate his cultivation to a higher level, or even to step into the Meridian Passage Realm, then he could easily obliterate the entire Tang Family.
"Escaped rather quickly."
Wang Ruoxie turned his gaze and found that Su Lian'Er had taken advantage of his battle with Tang Liren to escape.
Oh well, as long as this woman doesn't provoke him again, he couldn't be bothered to pursue and kill her.
He stepped forward and walked to Tang Liren's corpse, directly devouring his Blood Soul.
Afterwards, he proceeded to devour the Blood Souls of Xiahou Lie and the others one by one.
However, since his bloodline had already reached the Third Grade Earth Tier, devouring the Blood Souls of these individuals only raised his Bloodline Tier to the Fourth Grade Earth Tier.
And his cultivation still hadn't broken through to the Second Layer of the Innate Realm.
Seeing Wang Ruoxie consecutively devour the Blood Souls of Tang Liren, Xiahou Lie, and others, Zhou Zhihe and the rest couldn't help but shudder, even wondering if this guy would harm them to enhance his cultivation power.
"Brother Wang, since everything has been resolved, we will take our leave first."
Thinking of this, Zhou Zhihe hurriedly spoke to Wang Ruoxie, then they quickly left.
Watching Zhou Zhihe and the others leave, Wang Ruoxie shook his head quietly, having already guessed their thoughts.
Although he could devour others' Blood Souls to enhance his bloodline and cultivation, he would not kill indiscriminately for this, otherwise, how would he be different from becoming a Blood Demon like in his previous life?
"Let's split the treasure resources on these individuals."
Shifting his gaze, Wang Ruoxie spoke to Xiao Ningyue, Zong Yuzhe, and others.
"Ruoxie, they were all killed by you, so the treasure resources should belong to you."
Xiao Ningyue shook her head and said.
"Though we want these treasure resources, what Senior Sister Xiao said is right, they belong to you."
Zong Yuzhe also spoke.
Ruan Junhao and Qiu Yao both declined, regardless of whether they truly desired these treasure resources; they couldn't and wouldn't dare take them.
Having witnessed Wang Ruoxie easily slaying Tang Liren, Xiahou Lie, and others in the Innate Realm, even the Blood Soul Jade Talisman couldn't harm him, and he even devoured all of their Blood Souls.
How could they dare take these treasure resources, knowing that Wang Ruoxie could kill the Second Prince Tang Liren just like that, let alone them.
Moreover, Wang Ruoxie had already shared some Innate Essence Liquid with them; how could they ask for more treasure resources.
The most crucial point was that they were well aware that without Wang Ruoxie, they would have likely been killed by the Silver Armor Corpse long ago; being alive to leave was already a blessing, let alone desiring more treasure resources.
Wang Ruoxie didn't say anything more. He collected all the storage pouches from Tang Liren, Xiahou Lie, and the others, and placed them into his own storage pouch.
"Let's leave too."
Wang Ruoxie said to Xiao Ningyue and the others.
The group of five then walked out of the hall, ready to leave the ancient ruins.
A total of ten people entered, but only five emerged alive. Tang Liren, Qin Heng were slain by Wang Ruoxie, while Nalan Ke, Duanmu Yun, and Wu Chengde were killed by the Silver Armor Corpse.
During this ancient ruins expedition, Zong Yuzhe, Ruan Junhao, and Qiu Yao all elevated their cultivation to the peak of the Ninth Layer of the Element Transformation Realm, and their power reached the Half-Step Innate level.
It's believed that with the Innate Essence Liquid Wang Ruoxie gave them, they will be able to break through to the Innate Realm in the shortest time after returning.
Wang Ruoxie's gains were naturally substantial, not only did he break through to the Innate Realm, but he also obtained an Essence Pill and seized all the treasure resources from Tang Liren, Xiahou Lie, and others.
As for Xiao Ningyue, stepping into the Innate Realm was her greatest achievement, and if she truly wanted treasure resources, Wang Ruoxie wouldn't be stingy.
After leaving the ancient ruins, Wang Ruoxie and the others boarded a Moon Chasing Warship to return to the East Victory Kingdom.
Just after they left, the entire Moon Burial Valley vanished into thin air.
"Destroy my Corpse Puppet, East Victory Kingdom… Wang Ruoxie… hehe…"
Suddenly, a sinister voice echoed from where the Moon Burial Valley had disappeared.
Then, a man wearing a black cloak and a black face veil appeared there.
But soon, his figure vanished into the heavens and earth.
…
Ten days passed quickly.
Wang Ruoxie and his party smoothly arrived at the Royal City of East Victory Kingdom.
After a brief conversation, Ruan Junhao and Qiu Yao took their leave, while Wang Ruoxie, Xiao Ningyue, and Zong Yuzhe headed straight back to the Celestial Sword Sect.
"Ruoxie, since you killed Tang Liren, the royal family may not let you off so easily."
Along the way, Xiao Ningyue said with a rather solemn expression to Wang Ruoxie.
"With my current strength, unless the royal family sends a Meridian Passage Realm expert, no one can kill me."
Wang Ruoxie replied with a faint smile.
Although he currently only had a First Layer Innate Realm cultivation, and his strength at most matched the Third Layer Innate Realm, it wouldn't be easy for someone at the Middle or even Late Stage of the Innate Realm to kill him.
"Though your strength is formidable, from what I know, the royal family hides more than a few at the Innate Realm, and there might not be only one at the Meridian Passage Realm; if the royal family truly seeks vengeance for Tang Liren, you'd likely find yourself in great danger."
Zong Yuzhe also spoke, "Though our Celestial Sword Sect should have more than one at the Innate Realm, we are still far from being a match for the royal family. Most importantly, we lack a Meridian Passage Realm expert to guard us; if the royal family deploys one, even if the Sect Leader and others wish to protect you, they might be willing but powerless."
"I don't expect the sect to clash with the royal family for me."
Wang Ruoxie smiled and replied, "Besides, only with your own strength becoming strong enough, can absolute safety be ensured."
He intended to return to the Celestial Sword Sect and enter the Dragon Transformation Pool again, utilizing its rich Spiritual Qi to refine the Essence Pill, aiming to elevate his cultivation to the Mid Stage of the Innate Realm, or even to the Late Stage.
Of course, breaking through directly to the Meridian Passage Realm would naturally be the best outcome.
Regarding the royal family's retaliation, he was not fearful; even if he couldn't contend against the whole royal family, he had ways to retreat unscathed. If worse came to worst, he could temporarily leave the East Victory Kingdom and travel to other parts of the Eastern Domain to explore and adventure.
