Jiang Ziya sat on the main seat in the hall and asked anxiously, "Have you thought it through? Are you really going to leave? Now we have overthrown the Shang Dynasty and will establish a new Zhou Dynasty. King Zhou was incompetent and tyrannical, and he has long since killed all the loyal and capable ministers. Now there are not many capable people in the court. You have made great contributions in this battle and will surely be valued by King Wu."

Sitting below, Lin Yaoxie's expression was resolute: "Master, you know I've never been one to follow the rules. I've already achieved my goal, as long as the people live in peace and prosperity. Besides, my intentions were originally..."

It's not about being in the imperial court, but about venturing into the martial world. By chance, on May 5.4th, I became a disciple of my master.

I could not bear to see the people displaced and suffering under King Zhou's tyrannical rule, with many forced into military service and families torn apart. That is why I joined the army, not for fame or fortune, nor to confine myself to this small place.

Today, seeing the joy and jubilation of the people, I know I have achieved my goal. It's time for me to return to the path I initially chose, to wander the world while simultaneously cultivating myself.

Chapter 261 The Grand Finale

Ouyang Xue also didn't want her senior brother to leave: "Senior brother, you should wait for King Wu to ascend the throne. Don't you want to see the world unified and a new dynasty established? You've also contributed to it. Besides, you can refuse when the time comes."

Lin Yaoxie shook his head: "Once he ascends the throne, I won't be able to leave. Once the imperial edict is issued, he will be the emperor and I will be his subject. If I disobey the edict, I will be disrespecting him and showing a lack of gratitude. If King Wu doesn't bestow an official position upon me, it will be difficult to explain to the outside world. I naturally believe that King Wu will be a good emperor, and with him around, I believe the people will live a good life."

Lin Yaoxie paused, as if considering his words: 'No need for constant displacement; everyone can have enough to eat. But I don't think I'd be a good subject. Besides, there's no war now, so I'm not needed, and I'm not good at literature either. I think I should go out and explore; my destiny lies elsewhere.'

Nezha was shocked that his senior brother was suddenly leaving: "Senior brother, why are you leaving? We haven't had a good time getting drunk in so long. We're about to escape this sea of ​​suffering. How can you abandon us and just leave like that? Look how hospitable the people are today. They definitely don't want you to leave."

Guang Chengzi also felt that Lin Yaoxie's words made sense, and looked at Lin Yaoxie with admiration: "A good man's ambition lies in all directions, and I feel that you do not belong here. This is an interlude in your life, not your end. I believe that you will naturally have your own world. You will eventually become a god, and I believe that day is not far away."

Jiang Ziya understood perfectly well that he was reluctant to part with his disciple. He sighed and said, "I know your heart's desires, and I've always felt reluctant to part with you, wondering when we'll meet again. But it's rare to be so clear about what you want at this age. I hope you can remain steadfast and true to your original aspirations. I will explain things to King Wu, and I believe he will understand."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yaoxie knelt before Jiang Ziya: "Over the years, I have been deeply grateful for your guidance, Master. You have taught me so much, and in many ways, you have influenced me imperceptibly. I have no way to repay you now, and I will not be able to serve you in the future. I am unfilial, and I hope you will not blame me. I do not know when we will meet again. I only wish you peace, good health, and happiness in the future."

After saying this, Lin Yaoxie kowtowed three times heavily on the ground, then got up and left without looking back.

After receiving a signal from Jiang Ziya, Nezha and Ouyang Xue came together to see off Lin Yaoxie.

Lin Yaoxie didn't own much; he simply packed a small bundle and hung it on his chest.

And there's the Xuanyuan Sword in his hand.

There is nothing else.

The three walked along the road, and even Nezha, who had 770 words to his name, didn't say a word.

At this moment, there is no need to say anything; just feel each other's affection.

The two watched as Lin Yaoxie mounted his horse, their eyes slightly red. They clasped their hands in front of their chests and said, "Senior brother, take care! Until we meet again!"

Lin Yaoxie laughed heartily, "The sky is high and the water is far, the future is long. One day we will meet again in the same place. You cultivate diligently, I will wait for you to find me. Until we meet again." After saying that, he spurred his horse to turn around, "Giddy up!"

The bright moonlight enveloped the man and his horse.

Nobody knows what happened to this person, where, or what their story is.

Chapter One: Entering the City

In the primordial era, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was exceptionally abundant, and the rules of the entire world were not yet fully formed.

However, at this time, all kinds of powerful creatures also emerged one after another. Humans, created by the goddess Nuwa of this world, could also cultivate by using this abundant spiritual energy.

Therefore, among the human race, there are also supreme and powerful individuals who lead their respective regions to prosperity.

In this era of abundant spiritual energy, not to mention the powerful exotic beasts in the primeval forest, whose roars can shatter mountains and moons.

Lin Yaoxie arrived directly in this world, but he was quite lucky and landed in a prosperous human city instead of a primeval forest ruled by alien monsters.

"Hello, host. This time, I've taken you directly to the primordial world, the place with the most abundant spiritual energy, to facilitate your cultivation and evolution."

Lin Yaoxie lazily looked at the crowds coming and going on the street. Lin Yaoxie appeared out of thin air, but the people here had seen the abilities of many cultivators, so they didn't care about this. However, because Lin Yaoxie's clothes were particularly strange and not theirs, many people stared at him curiously.

Lin Yaoxie glared at them and immediately started smashing up a shop.

That shop was a clothing store run by ordinary people. When Lin Yaoxie stormed the shop, there were even quite a few women trying on clothes inside.

The house collapsed with a bang, and before it collapsed, several women who were not wearing much clothing screamed and ran out.

Lin Yaoxie looked at the women and licked his lips with amusement.

But he had already tasted far too many beauties, seen all kinds of looks and charms, and in his eyes, these women not only had very rough skin, but their faces were also extremely ugly.

Disappointed, he pursed his lips, turned around, and left.

The shop just collapsed, killing many people. The people nearby stared at the suddenly appearing demon, not daring to utter a sound.

You must know that these places are all ruled by powerful human beings. Even if a demon beast transforms into human form and comes here, it has to keep its tail between its legs and would never dare to cause trouble so openly.

The commotion alerted the human guards in the city, and dozens of them rushed over, all dressed in silver armor and carrying long spears.

Lin Yaoxie was stopped by them before he could even leave the street, and the people surrounding him released a barrier to trap him and prevent him from escaping as a cultivator.

“Halt! Who are you? Don’t you know that you’re not allowed to cause trouble in the city?” the head guard said.

Lin Yaoxie didn't even want to glance at him, but these people surrounded him, and it seemed he couldn't leave.

"System, send me away, move me to another street," Lin Yaoxie said.

The Dark System Assistant said "Yes," and Lin Yaoxie suddenly disappeared under the watchful eyes of everyone within the barrier erected by the head guard.

"Who is this person? How could he escape from the barrier we set up?" the head guard exclaimed in surprise.

“That’s right, boss. Our barrier is formed using the power of this giant city’s will. Unless someone is at least a saint, it’s impossible for them to break free and escape,” said the guard beside him.

The head guard frowned deeply. A saint? This is a bit tricky. Any saint would hold a high position in any place, but he is only a quasi-saint.

Chapter Two: The Barrier of Willpower

“This is no simple matter. A powerful being at the level of a saint has come to the city and is causing trouble. Moreover, he seems to be completely ignoring our advice. We must report to the general immediately and seek his opinion,” the head guard said.

Meanwhile, Lin Yaoxie was teleported to a less bustling street in another direction of the giant city, where there were far fewer people, and Lin Yaoxie's ears were much quieter.

"Master, our previous power is far from sufficient now that we've come to this world, so we still need to cultivate here," the Dark System Assistant prompted.

Lin Yaoxie casually smacked his lips, drawing more glances from those around him.

However, Lin Yaoxie's appearance was still very handsome, with a sinister air about him.

"Tell me, what is my first mission here?" Lin Yaoxie asked.

"Go find the city lord of this giant city. He is a master at the Great Sage level. We can directly use the Star Absorbing Technique to absorb his spiritual power and directly reach the Quasi-Saint level."

"Only a quasi-saint?" Lin Yaoxie frowned in dissatisfaction.

“Power taken from someone else is never as strong as power you cultivate yourself; it’s definitely not as powerful as the power you get from them,” the assistant said.

"Alright then," Lin Yaoxie said.

His eyes darted around a little, and he figured out what to do.

"General, it's him. He was causing trouble in Chinatown just now."

As soon as Lin Yaoxie turned around, sure enough, the head guard had already surrounded him with a group of guards.

But this time, what was different was that a person wearing dark blue armor was following behind them; they called him a general.

Looking at this strangely dressed young man, Haileyun found it hard to believe that such a young man had reached the level of a saint.

"Who are you, or what kind of monster are you? Why are you causing trouble in the city?"

The general, who looked very young, said.

Lin Yaoxie glanced at him with utter disdain and said, "I want to see your city lord."

Heller frowned. What? He actually wants to see the city lord?

A powerful being of saintly caliber has come to the city (aefe) to cause trouble, even claiming he will become the Lord. This doesn't seem like a good thing!

But no matter what, we need to find out his name.

"May I ask who you are? So that I may inform the city lord," said Haileyun.

Lin Yaoxie glanced around with an extremely disdainful look, then said in an incredibly arrogant tone:

"He never changes his name or surname, Lin the Demon."

Heller's brows furrowed even more deeply.

He didn't seem to have heard of this person's name before. Could it be that he was a member of a different race who had transformed into human form and come here?

It's not impossible, though. Some races have evolved to a level of intelligence nearly identical to humans, and they are just as cunning. They go to great lengths to gain territory and human essence.

To them, such a colossal city was nothing short of a precious treasure.

Those alien species dream of swallowing these giant cities whole, which would greatly increase their power.

Thinking of this, Heller Yun's attitude became very serious, and he became more wary of him.

"Please wait here for a moment, sir," Heller said.

Then he turned to the guard beside him and said:

"Go and bring me the demon-revealing mirror."

The guard was clearly very surprised. Could this seemingly demonic young man be an ancient, strange being?

So he went to get the demon-revealing mirror without stopping.

Chapter Three: Rogue Standoff

Lin Yaoxie looked impatiently at the group of dawdling guards who wouldn't let him leave, nor would they take him to see the city lord.

"Can you hurry up? I'm in a rush. If you don't take me, I'll storm the city lord's mansion myself."

Since he had already killed someone in the street, detaining him wasn't a bad idea. So he activated his quasi-saint ability and used the power of the giant city's will to trap Lin Yaoxie in the barrier.

"What the hell? You actually dared to use your abilities on me?"

Lin Yaoxie narrowed his eyes with an unfriendly expression; he was extremely angry at this moment.

“Please remain quiet here. We will verify your identity before taking you to see the city lord. Also, you just committed a violent act in the street, resulting in the deaths and injuries of more than a dozen of our human race members. You must acknowledge this crime,” Heller-Yun said.

Strands of black energy seeped out from Lin Yaoxie's eyes, and his gaze began to sharpen.

"Are you... sure?" Lin Yaoxie asked, enunciating each word clearly.

Heller Yun keenly sensed the malevolent energy emanating from him, and immediately guided his willpower to reinforce the barrier.

"I still advise you not to act rashly or have any improper thoughts. You should know that this is a great human city protected by my city lord. Even if you are a saint-level powerhouse, I, a quasi-saint, can use my willpower to kill you here. So you'd better behave yourself," said Haileyun.

He was right. Ordinary people may not have the power to turn the world upside down or shake mountains and rivers like they do, but they do have a strange power: the power of will.

This courtyard can help cultivators practice, increase their merits, and make their cultivation methods purer and more powerful day by day.

If they can guide the will of many people to form a powerful force, then this will can become a powerful force that protects the region.

Those who practice and are believed in within it can receive immense benefits.
