77: Chapter 77 The List of Extremely Evil!

"Did you hear? The Li family was wiped out!"

"Wiped out? You mean the Li family from your third aunt's side? Your third aunt is pitiful; her husband died early, and now her child has passed away too... This opportunity is coming..."

"Screw you, it's not my third aunt's family."

"Cao Zei, you can't just spread rumors like this; you'll get beheaded!"

The man named Cao Zei shrugged nonchalantly.

"Then spit it out, damn it."

"It's the Li family belonging to the Marquis of Huainan."

Cao Zei was stunned for a moment.

"The Marquis? Wiped out? Are you sure you're not mistaken?"

The young man shook his head, saying with a hint of terror, "I witnessed it with my own eyes. The massive Li family... the entire household was butchered by lingchi; you couldn't even find a complete corpse at the scene."

"Even the women and children were not spared. It was truly horrific."

Cao Zei swallowed hard, his voice trembling slightly.

"It wasn't the Four Kings Pavilion, was it?"

Upon hearing this, the young man turned to look at Cao Zei, full of astonishment.

"How did you know?"

Cao Zei stood there, dazed, pointing his finger forward.

Then, the young man followed the direction Cao Zei was pointing and stared intently.

A towering building with a highly classical style sat majestically over the bustling Imperial Capital.

This high building had a unique design, with carved beams and painted rafters, exuding an ancient aura.

And above this magnificent building floated several enormous diamonds.

At the top of one of these diamonds, several eye-catching characters were written in a flourishing, dragon-like calligraphy — The List of Ultimate Evils.

And on the list, chilling names were written.

1. Demon Emperor. Crimes: Annihilated the Yang City Investigation Bureau, killed Great Zhou royalty and nobles, suspected of slaughtering millions of Yang City citizens. Strength: Unknown. Faction: Four Kings Pavilion.

2. King of Equality. Crimes: Assassinated the Flame Emperor. Strength: Difficult to assess. Faction: Suspected Four Kings Pavilion.

3. Piggy Piqi. Crimes: Stole hundreds of corpses of former emperors from the Imperial Ancestral Grounds. Strength: Imperial Rank. Faction: None.

4. King of Blood Tears.

5. Blade King.

The young man widened his eyes, pointing directly at the content on the List of Ultimate Evils, shocked.

"Kill... killed millions of people? Is... is the Huichun Pavilion mistaken?"

Cao Zei shook his head slowly, his tone heavy.

"This is the most authoritative intelligence agency in the Great Zhou; how could they be wrong?"

The young man smiled forcefully and said, "Isn't it just 'suspected'?"

Cao Zei exhaled a turbid breath.

"The targets suspected by the Huichun Pavilion are almost certainly the culprits."

"Besides, haven't you noticed? The vast majority of the top twenty on this list belong to the Four Kings Pavilion."

"For such a massive and crazy organization, let alone slaughtering millions, even if they wanted to wipe out tens of millions, given their strength, they are fully capable of doing so."

After hearing this, the young man hurriedly turned his gaze back to the list.

"It really is like that," the young man muttered to himself, the shock on his face still not fading.

Just as the two were still immersed in extreme shock and had not yet come to their senses, a woman with incredibly exquisite features and a tall, graceful figure appeared silently beside them.

She wore a look of curiosity on her face, her eyes fixed directly on the suspended List of Ultimate Evils.

Then, she parted her red lips and muttered to herself, "Yang City is gone?"

This person was none other than Wu Yishui, who was preparing to rendezvous with Qin Pan.

Beside her, Cao Zei's pointed ears twitched slightly, and he immediately turned his head toward Wu Yishui.

A flash of brilliance suddenly appeared in his eyes.

Then, pretending to be refined, Cao Zei took steps that seemed leisurely yet carried a hint of urgency, slowly pacing toward Wu Yishui.

"May I ask, Miss, are you betrothed?"

Wu Yishui frowned and glanced coldly at Cao Zei.

"Yes."

A flash of pleasant surprise appeared on Cao Zei's face.

Good, good, good. I, Cao Zei, like other men's wives the most.

"May I ask..."

"If you dare ask again, I will slaughter you right now."

Hearing this, Cao Zei's expression stiffened abruptly.

The young man beside them, who had recovered, laughed out loud upon seeing Cao Zei get shut down.

"Miss, do you know who he is?"

"He is the son of Duke Cao, Cao Zei."

Upon hearing this, Cao Zei's expression returned to its calm, water-like state.

Then, he looked at Wu Yishui with an eager face, seemingly waiting for Wu Yishui's admiring gaze.

Wu Yishui remained silent. Her right hand was gently clenched, as if condensing some kind of power.

Immediately after, a long spear glowing with a faint purple light appeared in her hand like a ghost.

"Thump!"

Before Wu Yishui could make a move, Cao Zei knelt straight down to Wu Yishui on the spot at that moment.

This kneeling was so smooth, as if he had eaten Dove chocolate.

The young man beside him was completely dumbfounded.

Cao Zei fawned over Wu Yishui, "Sister Wu, little Zei was confused. I actually failed to recognize Mount Tai and didn't recognize you."

Wu Yishui said coldly, "You know me?"

Cao Zei curled his lips.

How could I not know?

The only fierce bandit to escape from the Imperial Capital prison — Wu Yishui.

If that Greedy Demonic Spear hadn't stabbed him awake at the end, he probably wouldn't have survived this chapter today.

"Sister Wu, your name is like thunder to my ears; I am infatuated with your legend. No one in the Imperial Capital doesn't know you."

Wu Yishui's brows furrowed slightly, and she said slowly.

"Cut the crap. I ask you, where is the person who assassinated the Flame Emperor a few days ago?"

Cao Zei raised his eyebrows slightly and hurriedly replied.

"You mean the King of Equality? Currently, she should be suppressed by the emperors in the Imperial City."

"Suppressed?"

After saying that, Wu Yishui slowly raised her head.

Her beautiful and deep eyes looked directly at the magnificent Imperial City in the distance.

"Emperor Qin, this rendezvous is really not going to be easy."

---

Great Zhou Empire.

Imperial Capital Guard City — Linan City.

In an elegant pavilion.

A cold-faced man with white hair and black eyes was sitting peacefully in front of an incredibly exquisite table.

He was gently holding an exquisite teacup, while his other hand rested casually on the edge of the table.

He was focused on drinking the tea in his cup, the wisps of hot steam rising from the tea swirling in front of his cold face.

On the street below the pavilion, people came and went, and the noise was incessant, but all of this seemed to have nothing to do with him.

Occasionally, a breeze would blow past, lifting his hair and the corners of his clothes, making him look even more ethereal and otherworldly.

And the tea in the cup continued to emit a faint fragrance, permeating the entire pavilion.

Qin Xiaogan slowly put down the teacup in his hand and said indifferently.

"Has the news been leaked?"

As soon as the words fell.

In the dim shadows of the teahouse, a large group of shadowy figures appeared silently.

They seemed to seep out from the darkness, their figures looming in the dim light, making it difficult for people to accurately distinguish their faces and figures.

The leader among them said respectfully to Qin Xiaogan.

"Reporting to Emperor Qin, it has been leaked to the Great Zhou."

Qin Xiaogan leaned back in his chair like a lazy cat.

He first yawned gently, and then replied slowly.

"What is the Great Zhou's reaction?"

"Reporting to Emperor Qin, the Great Zhou seems very curious about the destruction of Yang City."

"But this subordinate took the liberty of not telling the Great Zhou that Yang City was destroyed by you."

Upon hearing this, Qin Xiaogan frowned.

"Idiot."

Upon hearing this, a look of panic immediately appeared on Xiao Heizi's face.

Immediately afterwards, he hurriedly knelt on both knees, his body trembling slightly due to nervousness, and kept saying in his mouth.

"Master, this subordinate knows he was wrong, this subordinate knows he was wrong!"

Seeing this scene.

Xiao Heizi's subordinates first looked at each other.

Then a large crowd knelt down, the scene looking extremely spectacular, and also revealing a tense atmosphere.

And Xiao Heizi, who was kneeling on the ground, carefully raised his eyes and secretly looked at the calm-faced Qin Xiaogan.

Suddenly, his heart tightened.

He hurriedly explained, "Master, I was afraid that if the Great Zhou knew about your strength, it would affect your subsequent plans!"

Qin Xiaogan's expression shifted.

Strength?

To be honest, his strength is average.

After all, he is currently a one-second man, only able to fire once a day (Power of the Emperor).

"The news I asked you to leak to the Great Zhou, it's very easy to guess that it's me."

"There is no need to hide it."

Qin Xiaogan said indifferently, "Forget it, as long as the goal is achieved."

His goal was very simple: to attract a few more Imperial Rank Awakened from the Great Zhou.

Then, eat them in one bite.

As for why he didn't attack the Imperial City directly.

The timing was not ripe (waiting for the furnace to be completed).

At this moment, Xiao Heizi, who was kneeling on the side, breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

He almost thought he was going to be finished here today.

"Have the Time King and King Yongye been found?"

Upon hearing this, the heart that Xiao Heizi had just let go of slightly was suspended again, as if it had been tightly gripped by an invisible big hand to his throat.

It made him nervous and his breathing became a little rapid.

"Mas... Master, their tracks have not been found."

Upon hearing this, Qin Xiaogan did not show any expression, just said indifferently.

"As expected, it seems that there is really someone behind the scenes tripping me up."

A hint of horror appeared on Xiao Heizi's face.

Dare to trip Emperor Qin?

I'm afraid the whole clan is going to be wiped out.

"Master, this... this subordinate does not understand why someone would hide the Time King and King Yongye."

Qin Xiaogan sneered and said slowly, "Because they are afraid."

After speaking.

A strange glimmer flashed in Qin Xiaogan's eyes.

It doesn't matter, even if he can't find them.

He has a way.

It's just a little more troublesome.
