Starting with being handed over to the Imperial Concubine, building a family with a thousand-year hi

Either Su Mu was playing dumb all along, his true cultivation level was unfathomable, far exceeding what was visible on the surface; or he had a super power behind him that spanned the heavens, with immense resources, enough to make Yu Sheng, who had a Saint Realm cultivation level, submit and willingly acknowledge him as his father.

But now, the reason is no longer important.

The Palace Master's mind was at unprecedented peace, having completely let go of all obsessions. She raised her eyes to look at Yu Sheng and calmly said, "Do it. I have already sworn to leave the Star Palace. Killing me will not be a violation of any oath you have made with my fellow disciples. I only ask that you treat my people kindly in the future..."

Before he could finish speaking, he stopped himself and could not continue.

He was filled with self-mockery and shame.

If it were a fair and square internal conflict or power struggle within a sect, he could still openly plead for his people. But he betrayed humanity and the heavens, secretly joining the remnants of the Great Sun Alliance, despised by all races, becoming a traitor and collaborator despised by everyone. Such filthy and despicable behavior completely stripped him of even the right to beg for his people's lives.

Yu Sheng slowly raised his hand, gathering his killing power. Before making his move, he finally obeyed Su Mu's instructions and answered aloud: "My godfather has already given instructions that this time only you and the Three-Eyed Clan God King will be taken. If any members of the two clans are willing to submit, accept the soul imprint I planted on them, and sincerely submit, they will be pardoned and their lives will be spared."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Sheng no longer hesitated.

With a single palm strike, the vast spiritual energy of the Holy Realm instantly condensed into a colossal hand that covered the entire hall before crashing down!

The Palace Master, a peak God-King, was utterly powerless against the oppressive aura of the Saint Realm. His body was instantly crushed by the giant palm, his soul annihilated, and he perished on the spot.

After killing the Palace Master, Yu Sheng unleashed his vast divine sense, completely enveloping the entire Star Palace headquarters, locking onto all remaining clansmen, and laying a net to prevent anyone from escaping.

……

At the same moment, in the imperial city of Tianyuan Star.

The Three-Eyed Clan God-King has led his elite forces to the outskirts of the imperial city.

Xiao Yunshang stood on the high platform of the imperial city, holding the young Su Changsheng tightly in her arms. Her eyes were cold as she looked at the broken puppet remains scattered on the ground in front of her, her heart filled with melancholy.

This god-king puppet was Su Mu's greatest asset before his departure, a powerful force capable of guarding the region. However, faced with the absolute strength of the Three-Eyed Clan's god-king, it was utterly destroyed and rendered useless in less than the time it takes to brew a cup of tea.

Although Su Mu still had multiple defensive formations and hidden backup plans set up within the imperial city, Xiao Yunshang felt completely unsure of herself in the face of a peak God King and a group of elite Three-Eyed Clan warriors. She had no idea how long these measures could last or how long they could hold out.

While filled with worry, the Three-Eyed Clan God King's gaze suddenly locked onto Xiao Yunshang on the high platform, a greedy and dark light flashing in his eyes.

As the saying goes, "When you enter someone's garden, you pick their melons; when you see someone's children, you think of their mothers."

Xiao Yunshang was already stunningly beautiful and possessed an extraordinary temperament, exuding the dignified and majestic aura of royalty. Now, as a mother, she has gained even more gentle and graceful charm, with every smile and gesture full of allure.

Of all the countless words in the world, only the single word "wonderful" can capture its entirety. Such exquisite beauty is enough to move and drive countless powerful figures in the world to madness.

Even the Three-Eyed God-King, a man of calm temperament and high position, felt a flicker of evil fire ignite in his heart at this moment.

Beyond his possessive desire for beauty, he harbored an overwhelming thirst for revenge.

The Three-Eyed Clan suffered repeated defeats at the hands of Su Mu, enduring humiliation and humiliation. Even Su Mu, the clan's god-king, had lost face and been utterly humiliated in front of him.

Unable to defeat Su Mu head-on and unable to vent his anger, he transferred all his resentment and malice onto Su Mu's wife and children, intending to bully and retaliate madly in order to soothe the hatred in his heart.

The Three-Eyed God-King stood tall, looking down at Xiao Yunshang with arrogance, and presented her with a choice tinged with extreme humiliation: "You are Su Mu's wife? I, the God-King, can spare your lives and those of your child. As long as you are willing to submit to me and become my woman, and let Su Mu's youngest son recognize me as his father and change his surname to Tu, from now on, I will guarantee you a lifetime of peace, prosperity, and worry-free life."

These words instantly ignited a raging fire in Xiao Yunshang's heart.

Her gaze turned icy, her clear eyes filled with a chilling resolve. She almost roared, each word ringing with conviction: "You're delusional! Even if I, Xiao Yunshang, were to die today with my child, staining the heavens with my blood, I would never suffer the slightest humiliation from you!"

"On the day my husband returns, he will slaughter you three-eyed tribes without leaving a trace, to appease the spirits of my son and me in heaven!"

After speaking, she looked down at the innocent and ignorant infant in her arms, her anger turning into tenderness and sorrow, and softly asked, "Chang Sheng, would you like to go to another world with your mother?"

Young Su Changsheng, unaware of the impending life-or-death crisis, couldn't comprehend the resolute sorrow in his mother's words. A pure, warm smile bloomed on his chubby little face as he obediently nodded, "Wherever Mother goes, Changsheng will go! By the way, shall we take Father with us?"

Hearing the child's innocent and sweet words, Xiao Yunshang felt a lump in her throat, and a hot tear uncontrollably slid down her cheek.

Su Changsheng quickly raised his chubby little hand and carefully wiped away his mother's tears. He pursed his lips and hurriedly comforted her, "Mother, don't cry. Did Changsheng say something wrong? Changsheng will definitely change in the future. Mother, don't be sad. Otherwise, when Father comes back, he will think that Changsheng made you angry."

Xiao Yunshang closed her eyes, suppressing the surging bitterness and grief, and slowly shook her head, her voice soft yet firm: "Father won't be angry, he loves Changsheng the most."

As she finished speaking, the last trace of tenderness in her eyes vanished, leaving only unwavering resolve. Her spiritual energy surged and circulated wildly, prepared to self-destruct with her child and sacrifice herself for her cause.

Xiao Yunshang's spiritual power surged violently, and her aura rose steadily, as if she were willing to perish together with the enemy, instantly frightening the group of adopted sons and daughters surrounding her.

Led by Song Pingchao, the group immediately rushed forward, their expressions panicked, repeatedly urging him, "Godmother, you absolutely mustn't! You can't do anything foolish!"

"The imperial city's grand formation remains intact. Even if it ultimately falls, our flesh and blood can protect our godmother and young master to the death! You and the young master absolutely cannot be harmed!"

Song Pingchao knew perfectly well that Su Mu was usually gentle and kind, and seemed very easy to talk to, but he had a clear bottom line and was extremely protective of his own.

If Xiao Yunshang and Su Changsheng, despite being protected by their adopted sons and daughters, still meet a tragic end in Tianyuan, Su Mu will not tolerate them upon his return. Not only the Three-Eyed Clan who caused the trouble, but also those who remained to guard them will suffer Su Mu's boundless wrath and meet an irredeemable end.

To ensure the safety of their godmother and young master, they were willing to sacrifice their own lives and vowed to protect them to the death.

Under the repeated and earnest persuasion of everyone, Xiao Yunshang's resolve wavered slightly, and the frantically circulating spiritual energy around her gradually calmed down and slowly subsided.

Below the high platform, the Three-Eyed God-King narrowed his eyes, a contemptuous sneer on his face, his tone utterly mocking: "A mere broken formation, coupled with you bunch of ants at the Heavenly God Realm, dare to try and stop this God-King? Watch as I shatter the formation and deliver a fatal blow with a mere wave of my hand!"

Before he finished speaking, he reached out and grabbed at the air, and a divine sword, its entire body wreathed in cyan-purple lightning and exuding a chilling and domineering aura, instantly materialized and was firmly grasped in his palm.

The next instant, the Three-Eyed Clan God King swung his arm violently, hurling the top-grade divine artifact, the Azure Purple Divine Sword, high into the sky!

The divine sword surged through the air, carrying a destructive pressure and a violent force that could tear the heavens and earth apart. It suddenly plummeted down, determined to shatter the imperial city's protective array and slaughter everyone in one blow!

"Protect them with all your might!"

Song Pingchao shouted loudly, and everyone raised their hands in unison, bracing their arms to the sky, and poured all their spiritual power into condensing a thick and dazzling collective shield, which stood firmly against the formation.

They were acutely aware of the vast gap between themselves and the peak of the God-King realm, and knew that their desperate resistance was likely futile, utterly powerless against the fatal blow. Yet, none retreated, none showed fear; they all fought resolutely and relentlessly to the death.

boom--!

A deafening roar erupted, shaking the entire imperial city.

The sturdy imperial city protective array shattered and completely collapsed after only two or three breaths, with the array patterns disintegrating and vanishing.
