104: With a single strike, he cleaved a peak-level cultivator of the Free and Unfettered Realm! Prince Pei's defenses crumbled, and he took control of the Pei Wang City Prison!

"It's not that easy to kill this old man!!!"

Lin Xiuquan's face was contorted with rage. How could he possibly be willing to die so inexplicably?

"Shen Tianxing, for humiliating this old man like this today, I will remember this debt and will surely take your life one day!"

"Hahaha... Yan Yongxuan, you are a shameless person. This old man was truly blind to have been so loyal to you for so many years. A cold-blooded person like you deserves to have failed in the struggle for the throne back then, and deserves to be in your current predicament. Just wait, your death is not far off. As long as this old man lives for one day, I will absolutely not let you have an easy time!!!"

"Just wait, you just wait!!!"

Boom—

With a burst of wild laughter, Lin Xiuquan's aura suddenly surged. Although his Meridians were sealed, his cultivation was strong, and he actually managed to forcefully break the chains with his true essence!

He had been pushed to a point of no return!

Everything was fine in the morning; he was even playing chess with Prince Pei. Who would have thought that just a few hours later, he would end up in such a state?

But he never thought of sitting there and waiting for death!

Who would be willing to die?

He didn't care about Shen Tianxing; the one he truly hated was Prince Pei!!!

His years of loyal service had led to this outcome.

He was unwilling!!!

"Impudent!!!!"

Prince Pei's face was grim, his eyes cold. The hand hidden within his brocade robe suddenly clenched into a fist.

"Lin Xiuquan, how dare you!!!"

Lin Xiuquan had followed him for many years and knew too many secrets. At this moment, Prince Pei's killing intent surged. He absolutely could not let Lin Xiuquan leave Prince Pei's Mansion alive.

Just as he was about to make a move, someone had already acted before him.

"Three Talents Star Seeking Art!!"

Zhou Lin, a master from the Qimen Division, made his move!

He took out three Talismans from his Huai, and a mystic light shone from his glabella!

In the originally dim sky, three brilliant starlights descended from the heavens, merging with the Talismans.

"Seal!!!"

The starlight landed, the Talismans flashed, transforming into a giant Formation diagram that descended from the sky!!!

Boom!!!

The incomparably powerful starlight fell, and within the entire courtyard, a beam of starlight shot straight into the sky!

Zhou Lin was a master of the Qimen Division, and his strength had already reached the Carefree Realm!

This powerful figure was hidden among the crowd, not very conspicuous.

But his strength truly astonished everyone!

Under the intense starlight, invisible chains emerged from the starlight, imbued with profound runes and shining with golden light!

"What's happening at Prince Pei's Mansion? There's such intense starlight!"

"Daytime starlight? I heard that only Qimen Division masters can summon starlight during the day. Could it be that Prince Pei made a move against Shen Tianxing?"

"I don't think so. If Prince Pei made a move, it definitely wouldn't be someone from the Qimen Division taking the lead!"

"No, I feel an astonishing aura struggling within the starlight. This starlight looks more like a Sealing technique!"

The intense starlight fluctuations attracted the attention of many masters in Pei Wang City.

Figures stood on rooftops, looking up towards the Prince Pei's Mansion.

But no one dared to approach at this time, after all, that was Prince Pei's Mansion!

"Ah!!!"

Inside Prince Pei's Mansion, Lin Xiuquan's eyes were wide with fury, his expression terrifyingly ferocious.

What kind of method was this?

He found it so difficult to even circulate his true essence!!

A master of the Qimen Division!!!

Heaven wants him dead!

The Three Divisions of Great Qi were renowned, but very few people had actually witnessed the Qimen Division in action. Usually, it was the Demon and Monster Division and the Martial Suppression Division that took action.

Now, seeing the methods of a Qimen Division master, Lin Xiuquan could barely believe it!

He actually failed to break free from the restraints and unseal the Meridians that had been sealed within him in the first instant!

This was precisely the unique aspect of Qimen Division masters.

They might not be skilled in direct combat, but with Qimen Formations and various mystical methods, when they acted with preparation, even those much stronger than them would find it extremely difficult!

"What a Qimen Division, with such mystical methods. One must be wary!"

Prince Pei narrowed his eyes, his heart growing even more fervent.

If he could contend for the throne, the Three Divisions of Great Qi, the Eight Directions Dragon Suppressing Division, and all these powerful forces would all be his!

What did the death of a Lin Xiuquan matter?

He had more than one confidant!

For his grand plan, it seemed abandoning Lin Xiuquan was the correct choice for now!

"No need to struggle, I'll send you on your way!"

Suddenly, Shen Tianxing stepped towards the door.

Wang Huaiyuan had already prepared the demon sealing saber.

Clang!

Shen Tianxing raised his hand and drew the demon sealing saber, a flash of cold light appearing!

The demon Dragon on the saber, nourished by Yin Weiluo's Divine Soul, was now lifelike, as if it was about to come alive!

"demon sealing saber! She even gave him this treasure!?"

Seeing this saber, Prince Pei's mind trembled!

The origin of this saber was ancient. He had coveted it back then but never obtained it. He never expected to see its splendor again in his own Prince Pei's Mansion after several decades!

"Slash!!"

Shen Tianxing advanced with the saber, giving Lin Xiuquan no chance.

Strike him while he's down!

With his Peak of the Carefree Realm cultivation Sealed, he was like fish on a cutting board; Shen Tianxing could cut him however he pleased.

Buzz!

With one slash, the Saber Qi was like the moon, and cold light shot into the sky!

In an instant, within the entire Prince Pei's Mansion, a terrifyingly intense Saber Qi erupted!

Puff!!!

A flash of blood!

Lin Xiuquan's head flew high into the air, falling directly to the ground.

The myriad starlights in the sky were also split in two!

Zhou Lin was shocked and quickly withdrew the Formation diagram, retreating to the side.

This scene came and went quickly!

Shen Tianxing acted too fast!

He gave Lin Xiuquan no chance to react!

Seeing that head, Prince Pei's face showed a hint of disgust. If not for his self-important actions, he wouldn't have met this end!

"Haha, sorry for dirtying His Highness's place. Please don't mind it."

Shen Tianxing had returned to the main hall at some point, a smile on his face, as if what he had just done was utterly insignificant.

"Ah? Hahaha..."

Prince Pei pretended to be startled and came back to his senses, forcing a smile: "Lord Shen, as the Grand Minister of Justice, is in charge of sentencing. Lin Xiuquan's death was unavoidable. He followed this Prince for many years, and now that he has died in this Prince's Mansion, it can be considered a fitting end."

Prince Pei waved his hand, and the stunned guards nearby hurriedly stepped forward in a panic, dragging Lin Xiuquan's body away to be dealt with.

This time, Shen Tianxing did not stop them.

"Your Highness is benevolent, This Official Shen admires you."

"If our Great Qi had a few more virtuous officials as understanding as Your Highness, the common people's lives would be much better."

Shen Tianxing said with a smile.

Shen Tianxing had gained a further understanding of Prince Pei's cunning.

Great men do not bother with trifles!

Endurance was always what they understood most thoroughly.

A confidant at the Peak of the Carefree Realm, abandoned at a moment's notice.

Tsk tsk tsk... only a true hero could do it!

"It's getting late, This Official Shen will take his leave first."

"What are you saying, Lord Shen? This Prince will immediately arrange a banquet, and we can drink to our hearts' content!"

Seeing Shen Tianxing about to leave, Prince Pei couldn't be happier.

Shen Tianxing paused in his steps and suddenly said, "Oh, right, Your Highness's words just now reminded me."

"This Official Shen is temporarily staying in Pei Wang City. According to the laws of our Great Qi, I will temporarily take over the Imperial Prison. Your Highness wouldn't mind, would you?"

What?

Take over the Imperial Prison?

Prince Pei's heart suddenly leaped, and he almost lost his temper!

During this period, with the Empress's imperial edict, various masters in the court appeared, quelling chaos everywhere. Those masters from the Demon Sects and Ghost Dao Sects were all being hunted down and fleeing in all directions.

Eventually, they all came to Pei Wang City!

The Imperial Prison was one of their hiding places!

It was also a task given to Prince Pei by the Holy Heaven Demon Sect!

To provide shelter and guidance for these Demon, Monster, and Ghost Cultivators!

If Shen Tianxing took over, all the demons and Ghost Cultivators inside would be exposed!

"What? Is Prince Pei unwilling?"

Shen Tianxing looked at him with a half-smile, flipping his palm to reveal that familiar imperial edict again!

This bastard!

He's actually using an imperial edict to pressure this Prince!

But it had to be said, this method was truly effective.

Did he dare to resist?

No, at least not now!

"Lord Shen is joking. The Imperial Prison is already within your jurisdiction, and it is only right for you to take it over."

The words of refusal reached his lips, but after seeing the imperial edict, he had no choice but to swallow them with difficulty.

Shen Tianxing had him cornered!

With the imperial edict in hand, Prince Pei had no possibility of refusing!

"Hahaha, then This Official Shen will take his leave!"

"Let's go!"
