Many children, many blessings; the twelve ancestral witches forced marriages throughout the primordi

The night was deep, and the cold wind howled across the border of the Great Shang Dynasty.

Guang Chengzi was wearing a large black cloak and was huddled in the shadows.

He gripped the blood-red dagger tightly in his hand, his palms sweating profusely.

This Blood-Transforming Divine Blade is a top-grade killing weapon personally bestowed upon me by my master, the Primordial Heavenly Venerable.

The blade was covered in an extremely foul-smelling, filthy bloody light, enough to make anyone dizzy at first glance.

Guang Chengzi swallowed hard and peered out at the vast, brightly lit city in front of him.

That is Chaoge.

The capital of the Shang Dynasty was also his destination.

He was stripped naked here last time, and even the Heaven-Turning Seal was stolen, making him a laughingstock throughout the entire prehistoric world.

This time, his master gave him a strict order: to target ordinary officials with no cultivation and create the greatest panic.

Guang Chengzi took a deep breath and pulled out a glittering golden talisman from his pocket.

This is the Jade Void Palace's most treasured concealment talisman, capable of completely isolating one from heavenly secrets and auras.

"Snapped!"

He crushed the talisman in one swift motion, and a faint golden light instantly enveloped his entire body.

Guang Chengzi finally felt a little more confident.

He straightened his back and gave a dismissive snort.

"Does this mere mortal city really think that some shabby barrier can stop a saint's disciple?"

"Today, I, this immortal, will show you what happens when you offend the Chan Sect!"

He channeled his magic power, transforming into a barely perceptible wisp of green smoke, and directly entered the barrier surrounding Chaoge City.

Guang Chengzi was stunned as soon as he entered the city.

A wide, smooth cement road leads directly to the inner city, with a spirit stone street lamp emitting a soft glow every ten feet along both sides.

In the middle of the night, there were still soldiers patrolling the streets and vendors packing up their stalls.

Several ordinary children were eating top-grade spiritual fruits by the roadside, taking a couple of bites before throwing them directly into the trash can.

Guang Chengzi's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

Those are fruits that contain innate spiritual energy!

In Kunlun Mountain, even registered disciples don't get a share of the New Year!

The mortals of the Shang Dynasty actually ate it like a rotten apple?

An extremely strong sense of jealousy and resentment surged up from the bottom of his heart.

Why should I?!

How dare a bunch of hairy, horned ants who don't follow the great path live a more comfortable life than him, the first disciple of a sage!

Guang Chengzi gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with even more murderous intent.

He deliberately avoided the patrolling soldiers and chose to walk through dark alleys.

He thought he had gotten away with it and walked away extremely arrogantly.

Little did he know, the very second he stepped over the city wall...

The core formation of the Nine Provinces Barrier above the Nine Heavens had long since lit up with a glaring red light.

The backyard of Pangu Temple.

Lin Xuan was lying comfortably on the exquisite ice jade rocking chair.

He held a glass of chilled Huangzhong plum juice in his left hand, while his right hand idly played with his newborn daughter, Lin Sha, in his arms.

On the grass not far away, Lin Dasheng and Lin Yan were fighting fiercely over a piece of roasted meat.

Suddenly, a crisp "ding" sound exploded in Lin Xuan's mind.

[Warning! Unauthorized immigrant Guang Chengzi has been detected entering the Chaoge barrier!]

[The Kyushu Barrier anti-fraud alert has been activated, and the coordinates have been locked in real time.]

A semi-transparent system light screen instantly popped up in front of Lin Xuan's eyes.

On the light screen, a huge red dot was moving in an extremely lewd manner toward South Street of Gecheng.

Next to the red dot, the name, cultivation level, and items carried are thoughtfully labeled.

[Target: Guang Chengzi. Cultivation Level: Early Stage of Great Luo Golden Immortal. Carrying Contraband: Top-Grade Acquired Spiritual Treasure - Blood Transformation Divine Blade.]

Lin Xuan looked at the panel, grinned widely, and burst out laughing.

"That old bastard really doesn't learn his lesson."

"Last time they were stripped naked and hung on the city gate tower, and after only a few days of peace, they're back to offer themselves up for execution again?"

He took a sip of juice and let out a very satisfying burp.

That old scoundrel, Yuanshi Tianzun, is desperate for money.

Knowing full well that this Nine Provinces Barrier is an upgraded ProMax version, they still dared to send their disciples to their deaths.

Do you really think a broken concealment talisman can fool the security system of a major merchant?

Lin Xuan was too lazy to make the trip himself.

To deal with such a weakling, even sending a clone would be a waste of mana.

He directly sent a telepathic message to Lin Ze, who was checking accounts in Chaoge City, through the bloodline causal thread.

"Sixteenth Brother, we have work to do."

"Guang Chengzi, that fat sheep, has entered the city again. He's on South Street now, holding a strange short knife."

"Take your fifteenth sister with you and teach him a lesson."

"Remember, don't kill him. Strip him clean and hang him on the flagpole so his master can have a good look at him."

Top level of the Ministry of Commerce in Chaoge.

Lin Ze was sitting amidst a pile of ledgers taller than himself.

He wore smart glasses perched on his nose, and his small hands were expertly manipulating a golden abacus.

Upon hearing his father's telepathic message, he pushed up his glasses, and a glint of intense excitement flashed in his large, dark eyes.

"Guang Chengzi? It's him again?"

"This is a big client!"

Lin Ze threw down the ledger in his hand and jumped off the chair.

He turned to look at Lin Xi, who was lying next to him snoring amidst a pile of gold coins.

"Fifteenth Sister! Wake up! Let's make some money!"

Lin Xi opened her eyes groggily, and upon hearing the words "make money," she instantly became wide awake.

She grabbed the precious gold coin hanging around her neck, her face flushed with excitement.

"Who? Who dares to evade taxes on our turf?"

"That poor bastard Guang Chengzi." Lin Ze curled his lip in utter disgust.

"But Father said he brought a top-grade spiritual treasure."

"Let's go set up the formation. Today we're going to make him pay with his last penny!"

The two money-grubbers exchanged a glance and revealed an extremely sly smile.

They tore open space and crept towards South Street.

At this moment, Guang Chengzi was still cautiously groping around in the dark alley.

He had no idea that his every move was being broadcast live across the entire internet.

He was even mentally calculating how cruel the methods he should use to kill Lin Xuan to disgust him to the greatest extent.

He looked up and glanced at the extremely magnificent Ministry of Commerce building not far away.

The lights were still on on the top floor.

Guang Chengzi grinned, revealing an extremely sinister sneer.

"This is the place we'll choose."

"An official of the Shang Dynasty, is that it? Tonight is your death day!"

He gripped the Blood-Transforming Divine Blade tightly, transformed into a black shadow, and slipped past along the wall.
