Is there any hope for me, who proposed to the world-destroying empress at the very beginning?

The assassin

He panicked and froze on the spot for a moment.

They all possessed the cultivation of the fifth level of the Life Palace and even used assassination techniques, yet they still unexpectedly lost to Su Liang in a single encounter.

Before the assassin could dodge, the Broken Army Spear thrust forward. With the blessing of Chapter Two, "Gods and Demons Are Not Mine," the Broken Army Spear easily pierced through the bodies of the two powerful figures.

Only now did blood begin to slowly drip from the spearhead, splashing onto the weeds like vibrant fireworks blooming in the evening sky.

Su Liang acted extremely quickly, giving the two assassins no chance to react.

As he withdrew his spear, the two assassins who had come towards him realized that their assassination attempt had failed from the start.

Su Liang lightly shook the Broken Army and watched as the two figures fell heavily into the weeds.

The wind blew and buried their corpses, wild grass kept them company, and dark red blood flowers mourned them.

Su Liang sighed and did not linger there any longer.

Another day.

The astonishing news about Su Liang finally spread, went viral, shook the entire world, and shocked everyone!

First, countless geniuses challenged him, but none could match him.

Later, the five vicious villains of the Life Palace joined forces to kill him, but they were instead killed by him alone, their livers and gallbladders ruptured!

Rumor has it that two top assassins who once ambushed the Seven Wheels of Destiny were found dead in the wilderness, their wounds bearing the marks of gunshots!

All these messages point to one person!

Su Liang, ranked first on the list of geniuses, the number one prodigy of his generation!

If he was merely a junior prodigy who had previously defeated Daozi with a spear, then after this battle, he would become a true prodigy!

He was renowned for his power, knew how to advance and retreat with composure, and possessed a deep-seated bloodlust!

The reason for such contradictory evaluations ultimately lies in his ruthlessness versus his mercilessness.

He who kills will be killed in return. Such a bottom line and standard undoubtedly amazes all sects, who only regret that such a prodigy is not under their tutelage.

Inside the Qin capital, the Empress looked at the news she had just received, and the expression on her face momentarily stunned Liuli.

Is the master really this stunningly beautiful?

But while some are happy, others are resentful!

(Barring any unforeseen circumstances, there will be an extra chapter today to thank Emperor Yan. Also, there are still seventy votes left; could we break the thousand mark?)

Chapter Seventy-One: The Jade Capital in the Heavens

"Young Master Su truly lives up to his reputation as a peerless genius on the Human Pride Ranking. Those geniuses and elders from other sects are nothing but a fart in front of Su Liang!"

"Who says otherwise! After hearing the news of the death of the Seventh Elder of the Celestial Masters Sect in the capital, these people still haven't learned their lesson. They're really blind."

"You're not mistaken, are you? One person, a Foundation Establishment cultivator, fought his way through dozens of Life Palace Realm experts? And several Life Palace Realm Fifth Wheel experts perished?"

"Not only that, but dozens of other prodigies also joined forces, and they couldn't even defeat Su Liang with a single hand. Now, they are all suffering mental damage, and I'm afraid we won't hear from them again for some time to come."

"As expected of the number one genius of our Great Qin Dynasty, who would dare to disagree with such courage?"

"..."

The messages, the praises, seemed like compliments, but also more like borax.

Su Liang certainly established his infamous reputation in one battle, but he also made more enemies than before.

With so many veteran Life Palace Realm experts dying one after another, how can they bring honor to their reputation?

As the other half of the participants in this matter, how could many sects attracted by the bounty easily swallow this insult?

however.

What's even more frustrating is that they can't track down Su Liang's whereabouts, and they're not even sure they can catch up!

Even a powerful expert at the fifth level of the Life Palace is no match for Su Liang. So how many strong people will be sent out?

And what about the other side?

Why would they go to such lengths to deal with a mere Foundation Establishment stage novice?

If they make another move, they'll really be crossing the line!

It can be said that Su Liang alone caused countless proud sects to lose face, making them grit their teeth in hatred yet helpless.

I'm so angry!

In the Southern Underworld Holy Land, they also heard the news that Su Liang had single-handedly fought against the strongest people in the world.

Several elders gathered in the council hall of the Southern Underworld Holy Land. The old man sitting at the head of the table looked at the people in front of him with a gloomy face and narrowed his eyes to mock them.

"A mere junior has made my Southern Underworld Holy Land unable to hold its head high in front of the world."

"Didn't you say that with the bounty on Su Liang, our Southern Underworld Holy Land would surely avenge the nameless Holy Son's arrow attack?"

"Look at him now! Su Liang alone has defeated all the powerful figures involved in the encirclement and kill."

"Not to mention taking Su Liang's head, not even a hair on his head was harmed. On the contrary, it enhanced his reputation. Go out and ask around, who isn't boasting about Su Liang's invincible prowess now?"

After a brief pause, the old man put his hands behind his back and continued speaking.

"I don't care what methods you use, you must bring me Su Liang's head."

The news also reached the capital city at the same time.

Jun Hongyan, who controlled the entire imperial dynasty's largest intelligence agency, Tianwen, naturally received a shocking message immediately.

Deep within the princess's residence, Jun Hongyan and her trusted bodyguard Liuli gazed at the map of the Qin Dynasty before them, sighing for a long time.

"For a man of such stature to achieve this, I, Your Majesty..."

I really didn't expect that.

"But the Southern Underworld Holy Land... has gone too far!"

“Relying on his superior status, he thinks he can do whatever he wants and doesn’t respect my people. It’s necessary to teach him a lesson.”

"Let Tianwen inadvertently leak a few minor pieces of information: Bai Yujing's assassins..."

Upon hearing this, Liuli's expression froze.

"Master, is that womanizer worth it?"

"Isn't it worth it now?"

Liuli wanted to refute, but she couldn't find a reason that could convince herself.

Too monstrous!

What kind of monster could improve so rapidly in such a short time?

But the more this is the case, the more pronounced the indescribable feeling in my heart becomes.

Just as Liuli was gritting her teeth in hatred, Jun Hongyan looked helplessly at the girl who had followed her since childhood.

"Is it so hard for you to admit he's like this just once?"

Liuli pouted and shook her head like a rattle drum.

Admitting it is not possible, it will never be possible in this lifetime!

Their master was clearly a ruthless and cold-blooded person, yet he was ruined by that bastard, who even sent out Bai Yujing's top assassins to protect her in secret.

This is utterly tarnishing Bai Yujing's infamous reputation!

But she...in the end, she obediently complied.

Before long, due to the spread of several messages, the Southern Underworld Holy Land had no time to spare and was filled with endless rage.

The other side.

Amidst this turmoil, a middle-aged man dressed in white, with eyes gleaming with divine light, was walking along the path where Su Liang had departed.

Su Liang's journey was retraced with him behind him.

Especially when passing by places where many geniuses had perished and dozens of powerful figures had fallen, the man would deliberately stop and examine them carefully.

All of this took less than an hour.

With a single thought, one can travel ten thousand miles in a day; such abilities are far beyond what those at the Life Palace Realm can possess.

A profound and powerful being!

Moreover, they are top-tier experts who are prepared to disregard all shame and bully the weak!

This morning, for the first time, the middle-aged man saw the bodies of the two assassins who had died at Su Liang's hands.

Both assassins were killed instantly by a single shot, the fatal wounds coming from a bullet to the chest. Around the two corpses, the once bright red blood had dried and was now floating among the weeds and the ground beneath them.

The middle-aged man raised his head and looked at the distant wilderness.

The wind blew, but it couldn't hide his sharp eyes.

The man lifted his foot to continue walking, but after one step, he was forced to stop in place.

A murderous aura, an intense murderous aura!

And it even made him feel a chill down his spine.

How can this be?

"Why would there be... assassins from Bai Yujing here!?"

Upon seeing that snow-white color, the middle-aged man's gaze suddenly sharpened, and a hint of seriousness appeared on his usually composed face.

The two people in front of him made him feel extremely dangerous, even though his strength was far above the Life Palace Realm.

But when he faced the two figures in front of him, he still felt a sense of oppression emanating from the depths of his heart.

It was as if he had been seen through from the very beginning, and from the very beginning he had stood naked in front of the two assassins.

One of the young men, with his hands tucked into his sleeves, looked up slightly and spoke in the direction of the middle-aged man.

"Li Huan, a Transcendent Realm cultivator, received an imperial favor from the Southern Underworld Holy Land two years ago. He escaped from a siege by three Transcendent Realm cultivators."

A year ago, he vanished without a trace; no one in the world heard of Li Huan again.

The middle-aged man was not too surprised after hearing what the young man in front of him said.
