122: Chapter 122 Breaking the Cycle of Reincarnation

The Imperial Capital.

King Yongye's Manor.

King Yongye looked at the noble young man before him and lowered his voice, speaking slowly.

"Your Highness, have you heard? Something major has happened to Marquis Zhenguo!"

Zhong Wenyun sat upright at the tea table, idly fiddling with a teacup. His expression remained calm as he said indifferently.

"Oh? What could happen to Marquis Zhenguo? Tell me in detail."

King Yongye hurriedly said, "It is said that Marquis Zhenguo offended a super-powerful force from beyond the borders. Even... even His Majesty issued a decree not to intervene in this matter."

Zhong Wenyun narrowed his eyes slightly, a deep thoughtfulness revealing itself in his gaze. "Such a thing actually happened?"

After he finished speaking,

Zhong Wenyun suddenly laughed. "King Yongye, this is a good thing."

Hearing this, a sharp glint instantly flashed in King Yongye's eyes. "Your Highness, I do not understand."

"Let me ask you, how many Kings can there be in the Great Zhou?" Zhong Wenyun stared at King Yongye with burning eyes and a serious tone.

"Four," King Yongye replied without hesitation.

A meaningful curve rose on the corner of Zhong Wenyun's mouth as he said softly.

"Marquis Zhenguo's strength is already approaching the King level, and you are the weakest among the four Kings."

"Tell me, when he becomes King Zhenguo, what will become of you?"

Though Zhong Wenyun's voice was soft, it struck King Yongye's heart like a heavy hammer.

King Yongye's expression changed slightly, and he immediately cupped his hands toward Zhong Wenyun. "Whatever Your Highness commands, please speak freely."

Zhong Wenyun picked up his tea and drained it in one gulp. Then, he said coldly, "The Qin Family intends to rebel; everyone has the right to execute them."

King Yongye's body stiffened as if struck by a bolt of lightning.

Then, he muttered to himself, "Everyone has the right to execute them..."

---

Qin Xiaogan wore his slightly cracked Emperor Mask, quietly floating above the Qin Residence.

Under the gloomy sky, his figure appeared lonely yet majestic.

Meanwhile, blood was splattering within the Qin Residence, resembling a scene from a living hell.

The corpses of many Qin Family disciples lay scattered across the ground, their blood merging into streams that flowed slowly into the hollows.

The terror and despair they felt before death still lingered in their eyes.

Just then, a gust of cold wind blew, bringing a pungent and thick smell of blood.

The scent permeated the air, making one feel nauseous.

Qin Xiaogan slowly landed in the manor. The blood on the ground instantly soaked his soles, making a "squelch squelch" sound with every step.

Suddenly, a ghostly light flashed in Qin Xiaogan's eyes, like a light from the Nine Nether Abyss, cold and chilling.

Then, an old man's soul slowly manifested.

The old man's face was distorted with terror, his body trembling uncontrollably as if he had seen the most terrifying sight in the world.

In an instant, the old man's soul was shattered by Qin Xiaogan's gaze, turning into specks of starlight that dissipated in the air.

But Qin Xiaogan did not kill the old man.

Because this old fogey was the Elder Qiu of seven years later, Qiu Sanye.

Qin Xiaogan slowly reached out his right hand, his slender fingers curling slightly in the air.

Immediately, the Marquis Zhenguo and his wife, who were struggling desperately in the residence, turned into two clumps of ghostly blue light and were easily grasped in Qin Xiaogan's hand.

Qin Xiaogan looked at the blue light in his hand and said slowly, "I didn't expect that it would be by my own hand that the Qin Family was destroyed."

Just as he finished speaking,

A dark shadow suddenly flew over the Qin Residence, swift as a ghost, carrying a biting wind.

Qin Xiaogan cast an indifferent gaze toward it. With just this single look,

The dark shadow was instantly heavily wounded and sent flying a thousand meters away, tracing an arc in mid-air before crashing heavily into the distant mountains, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Qin Xiaogan ignored the shadow and looked toward a figure outside the Qin Residence.

That figure was tender and young, like a sprout just breaking through the soil in spring, exuding a sense of freshness.

Qin Xiaogan's gaze locked onto that figure, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of lament.

He really was cunning back then.

He had already turned tail and run.

Then, Qin Xiaogan turned his gaze to the sky. He prepared to shatter the Heavenly Dao of this time node so the system would no longer appear and he would no longer be bound.

This way, perhaps the cycle of the Heavenly Dao would be broken.

Once the cycle is broken...

Hahahahahahaha...

Thinking of this,

The corners of Qin Xiaogan's mouth split to his ears, his exaggerated expression showing a hint of excitement.

His eyes flickered with a fanatical light, as if the fire within him was about to burst forth.
