A man in the Qin Dynasty stirred up a storm across the heavens.

"What...what do you want to do?" King Xi of Yan trembled and cowered in a corner of the palace, showing no trace of the demeanor of the king of Yan, one of the seven hegemons.

In the face of death, no matter how noble your status, you are equally humble.

"His Majesty dared to touch our Drunken Immortal Pavilion, so why are you afraid now?"

The snow rabbit's graceful figure, reflected in the candlelight, resembled a beautiful serpent, adding to the already anxious and uneasy heart of Prince Yan Xi.

Nine Yin Manual, Soul Transfer Technique!

The golden rat stood silently behind the snow rabbit, waiting for her to finish preparing Yan Wangxi before finishing up the rest.

Then we'll go back together to report!

"You...you dare to disregard the sacred treaty and attack me?"

Although King Xi of Yan was terrified, he outwardly appeared fierce but inwardly weak, and loudly questioned him.

The seven kingdoms were at war for two hundred years, and they clashed almost every moment.

The rulers of Zhao, Wei, Han, Qin, Qi, Chu, and Yan, though worried that someone might take the risk of assassinating the king, also understood that no country would dare to disregard the agreements made by the sages.

Bai Qi, the Marquis of Wu'an of Qin, was incredibly powerful. His martial arts skills were so profound that they could be described as unparalleled. Among the seven states, no one could stop him.

However, even Bai Qi, the Lord of Wu'an, who was known as the butcher of a million men, still dared not lay a hand on these rulers of a country.

The various schools of thought in ancient China coveted the greatest secret hidden within the Seven Kingdoms and were eyeing it with predatory intent.

However, even a powerful force like the Yin-Yang School dared not take action against these leaders of a nation.

Because the Great Zhou Dynasty ruled the world for eight hundred years, Confucius wrote the Spring and Autumn Annals, and before the Warring States period was divided into seven states, the sages of various states and schools had made an agreement.

One treaty, which circulated only among the rulers of the seven states and the leaders of the various schools of thought, was more authoritative than the "no punishment for high-ranking officials" tacitly accepted by the seven states today.

That is, unless the country is destroyed and the regime changes hands.

Otherwise, who would dare to assassinate the king? That would be a disregard for the promises of our ancestors, and they would be enemies of the world.

Snow Rabbit and Golden Rat exchanged a glance. They were both orphans from poor backgrounds, adopted by Su Yi from a young age, and had no access to the level of the rulers of the seven kingdoms.

They know virtually nothing about it.

However, seeing how confidently Yan Wangxi was, the two hesitated for a moment.

"It's okay, continue!"

After a moment's thought, the Golden Rat made the biggest decision of his life: to continue carrying out the orders Su Yi had given them. As for other matters, such as the "Sage's Agreement," he would report back to their young master later.

.....

The candle, which had been lit to keep the flame burning, finally burned out completely.

Inside the palace of Prince Xi of Yan, corpses lay strewn everywhere, and blood flowed all over the ground.

The assassins had already retreated like the tide a quarter of an hour ago.

As the king of Yan, King Xi of Yan could no longer see the spirited and dignified demeanor he once possessed.

His hair was disheveled, and he stared blankly at the moonlight shining into his bedchamber. He felt no warmth at all; instead, it chilled him to the bone.

"Rebellious ministers and traitors, rebellious ministers and traitors!"

With his hair disheveled and eyes bloodshot, the Prince of Yan muttered these four words repeatedly, as if he had gone mad.

Drunken Immortal Pavilion, Snow Rabbit, Golden Rat.

One Drunken Immortal Pavilion, two masters within the Drunken Immortal Pavilion.

This will cause Prince Yan to live the rest of his life in a nightmare more terrifying than being in purgatory. The mere mention or hearing of the name "Drunken Immortal Pavilion" will make him want to cower in a dark corner and tremble with fear.

The opening secret of the Sunflower Manual is that in order to practice this skill, one must first castrate oneself.

He, the ruler of Yan, one of the seven kingdoms, was actually castrated in his own Yan palace!

Blood Shadow, the personal guard of successive kings of the Yan Kingdom, is a bloodthirsty force protecting the safety of the palace.

In just one night, apart from a few people who were out on a mission, no one escaped; they were all killed.

The Imperial Guards outside suffered even heavier casualties.

"Are you really so confident and fearless?"

"More than ten grandmasters and hundreds of innate realm cultivators—is this the confidence to disregard even the agreements of sages and not fear the world's condemnation?"

A fierce hatred and a chilling killing intent, so intense it seemed to lower the temperature of the palace, erupted from the dark, murky eyes of the Prince of Yan.

For the people of Snow Rabbit, Golden Rat, and Drunken Immortal Pavilion.

He wished he could devour their flesh, skin them, drink their blood, pull out their tendons, and grind all the people of Zuixianlou to dust.

But he can't!

Snow Rabbit and Golden Rat slaughtered the two strongest guard teams in the Yan Kingdom's palace overnight, killing Blood Shadow, a famous veteran master from the Seven Kingdoms, right in front of him as if he were in an empty place, and were able to act against him with impunity.

The Grandmaster who was originally responsible for guarding the Yan King's Palace and Yan King Xi, Yan Xiejun, the true last trump card of the Yan royal family, was beheaded in his own palace. He died silently in this bloody night without ever taking a single step out.

This proves that they also have the ability to reduce the entire Yan royal family to ashes overnight.

It could even drag the entire Yan state into an abyss of no return.

Moreover, King Xi of Yan had no face to inform the other six kingdoms that Zuixianlou was going to assassinate the king tonight, and that he was not in mortal danger, but instead would be forced to castrate himself.

Once he does this, it remains to be seen whether the binding force of the sacred covenant circulating within the Seven Kingdoms' royal families will be effective.

The king of the mighty Yan state had become a eunuch.

The face of King Xi of Yan and the face of the Yan Kingdom will likely be disgraced throughout the world, ridiculed by all people, and infamous for ten thousand years!

However, the fact that he dared not make a move against Zuixianlou on the surface did not mean that Prince Yan would let the matter drop so easily.

Despite the excruciating pain in a certain part of his body, Prince Yan Xi stood up from the ground stained with his blood and carefully placed his "treasure" into a brocade box in his bedchamber.

Waiting for the arrival of the Imperial Guards of the Prince of Yan.

"The Net, the Iron Blood Alliance."

Information about the two strongest organizations in the seven kingdoms of Yan Xi surfaced in his mind.

He sought revenge, not only for the trampling and insult to the dignity of the King of Yan, but also for the dignity of being a man.

"No, no!"

The moment the thought of Yan Wangxi surfaced, the seed of fear planted deep within his heart by Xue Tu using the Soul Transfer Technique of the Nine Yin Manual began to replay in his mind like a nightmare, constantly reliving the torment he had suffered in the first half of the night.

"Revenge? No, doing that will only bring those two demons back."

"I must take revenge. Zuixianlou has disregarded the sages' agreement; the seven kingdoms and the entire world can rise up and attack it."

"I am the King of Yan, the most authoritative person in Yan. The mere Drunken Immortal Pavilion..."

"No, no, assassinating the king. I am merely 'wounded,' not in mortal danger. The various schools of thought and other nations would probably rather see me make a fool of myself and would not honor the sage's agreement."

"Waaaaah~ What should I do!"

Inside the palace, the Prince of Yan muttered to himself in a seemingly deranged manner, his face occasionally contorted with ferocity and chilling murderous intent. But in an instant, he would reveal an expression more pitiful than a little white rabbit, curling up on the throne and trembling uncontrollably, overwhelmed by fear and unease.

In a dark corner untouched by moonlight and candlelight, two figures, seemingly blending into the darkness, silently watched Yan Wangxi's every move.

Although King Xi of Yan was incompetent and foolish, he was still a ruler of the Yan state.

However, absolutely no one dares to underestimate the power of a king or the wrath of a ruler.

Since Su Yi ordered the Rat and Rabbit tribes to take action, and did not even ask the Golden Rat and Snow Rabbit to conceal their identities, it means he had made complete preparations.

For the next thirty years, as long as King Xi of Yan does not die, that is all that matters.

He would live day and night under the surveillance of Su Yi's Rat and Snake tribes.

If the King of Yan were to take even the slightest action against Zuixianlou, the country would soon have a new king!
