At this moment, the hearts of those in the distance were in utter turmoil.

They never expected that the once useless young master of the Wang Family would now possess such terrifying strength.

Most importantly, Wang Ruoxie not only had the cultivation of the Essence Pill Realm, but his true strength had also reached an extremely frightening level, effortlessly slaying even Wang Ruokun, who had the Ninth Layer of the Essence Pill Realm cultivation.

The crowd even suspected that Wang Ruoxie's strength might have already surpassed the Essence Pill Realm, enough to rival the true Qi Condensation Realm.

Because they simply couldn't believe that such a powerful Essence Pill Realm existed.

What shocked them the most was that Wang Ruoxie merely stood there, and the Sword Qi emanating from his body instantly killed Zhu Wan'Er.

Although everyone knew that true experts could kill with each step, and slaying the weak was effortless, standing still and killing was still a fantastical concept to them.

At this moment, Zhou Wu was already so scared that his legs went weak, almost collapsing to the ground.

"Mother, are you alright?"

Wang Ruoxie lifted his foot and walked towards Lady Chi, speaking.

"I'm fine, it's just Fu'Er..."

Lady Chi shook her head slightly, her expression mournful as she spoke.

"Mother, don't worry, I've used a Pill to preserve a sliver of Fu'Er's life force, and I will spare no effort to bring her back to life."

Wang Ruoxie said to Lady Chi.

"Yes, I believe you will definitely save Fu'Er."

Lady Chi nodded.

Although she didn't know what accomplishments her son had now achieved, she believed her son would never disappoint her.

Looking away, Wang Ruoxie coldly gazed at Zhou Wu, who was extremely anxious, and said, "Who sent you?"

"It was... the Sovereign who sent us."

Zhou Wu replied, his voice trembling.

"I heard that Tang Xuanyi recently fought a battle with the Blood Demon Sect's elder and ended up severely injured and on the brink of death. How could he have sent you?"

Wang Ruoxie cast a cold glance at Zhou Wu and spoke again: "If you don't tell the truth, I'll take your life immediately."

"It was the Eldest Prince."

Hearing this, Zhou Wu's body trembled, and he hurriedly spoke.

"Tang Liyong?"

Upon hearing Zhou Wu's words, Wang Ruoxie's eyes narrowed.

As far as he knew, Eldest Prince Tang Liyong had left the East Victory Kingdom years ago, even venturing beyond the Eastern Domain to explore the vast world beyond.

He didn't expect that the Eldest Prince would return at this time and even send a large army to the Wang Family for revenge on Tang Liren.

"Yes, after the Sovereign was gravely injured by the Blood Demon Sect's elder, the Eldest Prince began to manage state affairs. Not long ago, the Eldest Prince was appointed as Crown Prince, and when the Sovereign passes away, he can ascend the throne and become the new Sovereign."

Zhou Wu dared not hide anything, spilling everything he knew like beans from a sack: "The Second Prince and the Crown Prince are legitimate brothers from the same mother, so when the Crown Prince learned that you killed the Second Prince, he sent me with five thousand Forbidden Guards to the Wang Family to bring your mother back to the Royal City."

Wang Ruoxie's eyes flickered with a cold gleam upon hearing this, knowing full well that Tang Liyong aimed to capture his mother to force him to the Royal City, only to have him killed there in revenge for Tang Liren.

"Tang Liyong, Royal Family, since you dare to lay hands on my mother, I'll annihilate you all."

An icy murderous intent emitted from Wang Ruoxie's mouth.

"I've told you everything I know. Will you let me leave now?"

Zhou Wu asked tremulously, looking at Wang Ruoxie, who was akin to a God of Slaughter.

"Get lost. Tell Tang Liyong that in three days, I'll come to the Royal City for his head."

Wang Ruoxie said coldly.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Wu felt as if he had received an amnesty and dared not delay. He dashed out of the mansion, afraid that if he lingered, Wang Ruoxie might change his mind.

He didn't realize that Wang Ruoxie had no need to deceive. If he truly wanted to kill, it was but a mere thought.

"Mother, these past years have been hard on you."

Wang Ruoxie looked at Lady Chi with some guilt and said.

He knew well that after he left the Wang Family, life for his mother there, while not as rigorously harsh as before, certainly wasn't easy.

If he hadn't been so weak at the time, unable to protect his mother, he wouldn't have let her stay at the Wang Family.

"I ask for nothing but your safe return."

Lady Chi's gaze was fixed on Wang Ruoxie; she didn't want to look away from her son's face.

Wang Ruoxie naturally felt his mother's loving care for him. He knew she must have worried day and night, hoping for his safe return during his years away.

"Mother, now it's just the two of us left in the Wang Family. Will you come with me to the Celestial Sword Sect?"

Wang Ruoxie said to Lady Chi.

He planned to leave his mother at the Celestial Sword Sect. Even if he left again in the future, he could be much more at ease. After all, the Celestial Sword Sect was the foremost sect in the East Victory Kingdom, its strength far surpassing other forces.

Then, he would set up a Sect Defense Array for the Celestial Sword Sect, allowing him to proceed to the Central Domain Great Yu Imperial Dynasty with no worries.

Naturally, Lady Chi did not refuse Wang Ruoxie's proposal. Now that the entire Wang Family consisted only of the two of them, her son was her everything. Therefore, she didn't refuse any of Wang Ruoxie's requests.

Without delay, Wang Ruoxie picked up Fu'Er and left the mansion with Lady Chi, heading toward the Celestial Sword Sect.

...

In the void, a seemingly ordinary battleship was speeding through the air.

This was, of course, Wang Ruoxie's Soul Boat. However, he didn't show the Soul Boat's complete form and instead transformed it into an ordinary battleship.

Unless one was a Martial Cultivator above the Qi Condensation Realm, it was almost impossible to discern anything unusual.

Still, although it appeared as a regular battleship, being a mid-grade Sacred Artifact, the speed of the Soul Boat was naturally swift.

Had he not deliberately controlled its speed, it wouldn't take half a day to reach the Celestial Sword Sect.

After settling Fu'Er and Lady Chi in the cabin of the Soul Boat, Wang Ruoxie went to the deck to overlook the vast land below.

He could feel that as they drew closer to the Royal City, the Blood Evil Qi saturating the space grew stronger, with some cities along the way becoming little more than ruins.

Clearly, even though the Blood Demon Sect hadn't completely taken over the Royal City, several battles must have already erupted.

The Celestial Sword Sect was only a hundred li from the Royal City, making its current situation potentially dire.

Nevertheless, Wang Ruoxie wasn't too worried about the Celestial Sword Sect. With Xiao Ningyue there, the Celestial Sword Sect wouldn't face significant threats.

Xiao Ningyue had already mastered the Nine Yin Profound Body completely, cultivating even faster than him. Coupled with the strength of the Profound Yin Power, her current strength would not be weaker than his, perhaps even stronger.

Moreover, he knew very well that once Xiao Ningyue broke through to the Qi Condensation Realm, transforming her True Essence into Mana within, her strength would be vastly enhanced, likely having the power to battle even a typical Purple Mansion Realm cultivator.
