When Shi Yi spoke, he used the power of the Great Dao, and the sound of the Dao resounded throughout the Martial King's mansion.

His eyes were ordinary, lacking their usual mystique, yet the oppressive aura was incredibly strong, like a god looking down upon the world. Wherever his gaze fell, everyone's heart trembled, unable to control themselves.

Anyone close to Shi Yi knows he's not joking. Once he says something like that, it's like a solemn oath, and he won't show any mercy even if his own family members break it.

Of course, those who truly care about Shi Yi would not undermine him, break his vows, or embarrass him.

The Great Demon God witnessed all of this. He sighed deeply and remained silent for a long time, his eyes filled with sorrow and helplessness.

"I understand, I will leave the Prince Wu's residence."

From this day forward, our two families will be like strangers, but this has nothing to do with others. We hope that members of this lineage can remain in the Wu King's residence and be treated well.

Shi Yi nodded and replied, "As I said, this has nothing to do with anyone else. There must be no infighting within the Martial King's Mansion because of this. Otherwise, I will personally take action to clean up the mess."

His words were filled with murderous intent, instantly plunging the Wu King's mansion into a frigid winter.

Everyone was trembling with fear, keeping in mind Shi Yi's words.

The Great Demon God chuckled. It was ironic that the person who started the infighting back then was now standing up to stop it. All of this was due to Shi Yi's strength. In this world where gods and demons roamed, strength was always the most important factor. Only those with absolute strength could have a voice.

However, he admired Shi Yi's courage. With a few words, he cleared away the lingering problems left by that incident and attributed all the cause and effect to himself. In this way, the Wu Wang Mansion could return to normal. Perhaps, Shi Yi's lineage would feel guilty and compensate the other lineage, so that they could live a better life.

Although this couldn't return the Great Demon God's grandson and the Supreme Bone, it still relieved him and brought him some comfort, since quite a few of their clansmen remained in the Martial King's Mansion.

What he didn't know was that this Shi Yi was not the same "Shi Yi" as before; the body and spirit were no longer the same.

"This cause and effect will not end like this," the Great Demon God said, gazing at Shi Yi.

"Yes, but it doesn't have much to do with you and your father, Fifteenth Master," Shi Yi replied.

The reason is simple: the Great Demon God and his son Shi Ziling could at most be called geniuses in the lower realm, but once they went to the upper realm, they would become just ordinary people. They had no hope of catching up with Shi Yi, except for Shi Hao.

The Great Demon God said nothing, but communicated telepathically with the Stone Emperor, asking a young girl from the Martial King's Mansion if she was willing to leave with him. After receiving a positive answer, he turned and left with her.

Shi Yi did not stop them. Things had already developed in the direction he had expected. Narrowing the cause and effect down to just him and Shi Hao was enough.

The people of the Martial King's Mansion watched the Great Demon God's lonely figure depart, their hearts filled with turbulent emotions, and no one could remain calm.

"The fifteenth prince..."

The elders of Shi Hao's lineage whispered silently.

Those close to Shi Yi's faction remember his words. For them, that matter is over, and all cause and effect are attributed to Shi Yi; this is Shi Yi's will.

"Fellow Daoists of Demon Spirit Lake, leave the imperial city as soon as possible."

With the dust settled and the Great Demon God departing, Shi Yi's true identity was revealed. He took charge of the Martial King's Mansion, taking full responsibility for what happened back then. This was a matter within the Martial King's Mansion, and the Stone Emperor naturally would not interfere.

However, the Venerable Spirit of the Ancient Divine Mountain made a move in the Imperial City of the Stone Kingdom, which had a terrible impact, and the Stone Emperor had to speak out about it.

"Yi'er's return is a joyous occasion, and I certainly won't spoil everyone's fun," said the Azure Demon Black-Eyed Spider Spirit.

Shi Yi met his gaze, nodded in acknowledgment, and transmitted his voice, saying, "Ancestor, please wait a while. At that time, Shi Yi will ascend to Demon Spirit Lake to pay his respects to the two Ancestors."

Hearing Shi Yi say this, the Azure Demon Black-Eyed Spider was gratified. All the effort he had put into cultivating Shi Yi back then had not been in vain. He was a young man who cherished the past.

"it is good."

Having said that, the Azure Demon Black-Eyed Spider Spirit disappeared from the spot and left the Stone Kingdom's imperial city.

According to his agreement with the Stone Emperor, he was not allowed to enter this place for a certain period of time.

"Shi Yi, what a double-pupiled person you are! You are truly a promising young man. You used the alias Xuan Yi to deceive all of us. In just over ten years, you have become a young Venerable."

A deep, resonant voice came from Shi Huang, who sincerely praised Shi Yi's talent and achievements, expressing his utmost admiration.

"Shi Yi has met the Stone Emperor."

Shi Yi cupped his hands in respect to the current Stone Emperor, a gesture that everyone in the Stone Kingdom should show. Without the Stone Emperor's presence, the human race here could not live in peace and prosperity.

The dangers of the Great Wilderness are known to all. For those extinct tribes around the Cangmang Mountains, life and death are merely a matter of a word from the Beast Lord, and annihilation and rivers of blood are commonplace.

"When you have time, please come to the palace for a chat." The Stone Emperor nodded, his words seemingly carrying a deeper meaning.

Shi Yi nodded in agreement.

With the departure of the Stone Emperor, there were no outsiders left in the Martial King's Mansion.

When the Martial King, who had been defeated by Shi Zhongtian, met Shi Yi, he was somewhat reserved. He was the nominal king of the Martial King's Mansion, but now, Shi Yi was the one in charge.

"The future belongs to the young. I am old and it is time for me to retire. From now on, Yi'er will be in charge of the Wu King's Mansion," the Wu King said, expressing his intentions.

As a result, Shi Yi shook his head. He had no interest in this position, nor was he interested in developing any family power in the Martial King's Mansion. His future lay in the Upper Realm, in the heavens, and in the Starry Sea.

A true dragon should soar high in the heavens, not lie on the shallows enjoying calm waters.

“The Wu King’s Mansion still needs to be under the leadership of the Wu King. Shi Yi is focused on the Dao and may not be able to take care of things here.”

His words were calm and composed, possessing a special power that resonated deeply with people.

King Wu understood Shi Yi's idea and did not refuse, nodding in agreement.

Subsequently, Shi Yi summoned all the beings of the Martial King's Mansion, setting the tone for its future.

After doing all this, he sat down with several important relatives. Because they hadn't seen each other for more than ten years, they were a little estranged from each other. Fortunately, Shi Yi was very calm and did not have the coldness of a strong person. Gradually, they became familiar with Shi Yi and opened their hearts to each other, telling each other about what had happened over the years.

"Yi'er has returned. This time, my Martial King's Mansion will surely soar to new heights and shake the desolate region." A clan elder who had personally baptized Shi Yi back then said with a smile.

Everyone else also showed excitement.

However, Shi Yi expressed a different opinion. He did not want the people of the Martial King's Mansion to use their fame and power to intimidate others and become kings and tyrants, because apart from him, there was no strong person in the Martial King's Mansion who could support such behavior.

Shi Ziteng nodded in agreement: "Yi'er's future is beyond our imagination. He will certainly not be limited to this realm. The taller the tree, the more the wind will blow. While he is here, our Martial King's Mansion can remain safe and sound. But what about after he leaves? We can't let some trivial matters make Yi'er worry and become a burden to him, can we?"

“That’s right. It’s best for the Martial King’s Mansion to keep a low profile. If they don’t have the capacity, they shouldn’t take on such karmic burdens,” Shi Yuan agreed.

After thinking it over, the clan elders present nodded in agreement, feeling that it was the right thing to do.

"Yi'er, what are you thinking about?" Shi Ziteng couldn't help but ask when he saw Shi Yi's eyes shining as he looked outside.

“A storm is coming. I see rivers of blood flowing through the wasteland, and I am the one who wields the sword.”

Chapter 138 Tribulation

His words were low and calm, as if he were simply recounting something mundane.

However, to the people inside the room, it was a completely different story.

Everyone was momentarily dazed, as if they could hear the sound of a storm approaching, accompanied by a massive battle and a brutal slaughter, with blood everywhere. Shi Yi, wielding his sword, fought so fiercely that even the heavens and earth trembled and wailed.

The next moment, they came to their senses and all shook their heads.

Illusion?

Everyone doesn’t know.

"Yi'er, can your eyes see the future?" Shi Yuan asked, his voice trembling.

Upon hearing this, Shi Yi smiled and replied, "How could that be? Great-Grandpa is overthinking it. I was just joking."

Seeing his relaxed demeanor, as if nothing major was about to happen, Shi Yuan's worries gradually subsided.

"It's good that you're alright. You child, how could you joke about something like this?"

Under Shi Yi's guidance, the conversation quickly shifted to other topics, the heavy atmosphere dissipated, and laughter filled the room once again.

When the gathering ended and the elderly people left one by one, leaving only Shi Ziteng and his son in the room, Shi Ziteng put away his smile and turned serious.

"Yi'er, the storm you just mentioned, could it be related to the Qilin Secret Realm incident back then?"

Shi Yi didn't hide anything; he nodded.

“Back then, all the pure-blooded cubs of the ancient divine mountains saw me storm into the forbidden land. As long as it is confirmed that I am alive, then regardless of whether I have obtained the Qilin Treasure Technique, those divine mountain venerables will flock to me. After all, the Ten Fierce Treasure Techniques are very attractive.”

Shi Ziteng frowned, unable to help but worry about the safety of his children.

The Qilin Treasure Technique is one of the Ten Fierce Treasure Techniques. No living being can resist its allure. When it arrives, the desolate region will tremble, and venerable beings from all directions will arrive. How can Shi Yi possibly withstand it?

Even if Demon Lake intervenes, it probably won't be of much help; its capabilities are limited.

"Father, do not worry. This is nothing to me. The Ten Fierce Treasures are tempting, but one must be alive to obtain them."

"Shenshan Venerables, I will kill as many as they come, until no one in this desolate region dares to claim the title of Venerable." Shi Yi said.

Seeing his confident demeanor, Shi Ziteng couldn't help but feel a surge of confidence within himself.

"If you have a way to deal with it, that's great. But if you can't win, don't be stubborn. Just use another alias. The world is vast, you don't have to stay in the wilderness."

"I know.

"I cannot give the Ten Fierce Techniques to Father, as it would bring you calamity. However, I can impart all my other secret techniques and skills to you." Shi Yi nodded, and then suddenly spoke like this.

Shi Ziteng's eyes gleamed. Shi Yi's words meant that he truly possessed the supreme treasure technique that drove cultivators mad. However, this was his own son, and he had no intention of forcibly taking it from him. Moreover, what Shi Yi said made sense. If he only stayed in a place like the lower realm, mastering the Ten Fierce Treasure Techniques would not be a good thing. Once exposed, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Subsequently, Shi Yi taught Shi Ziteng some precious techniques of pure-blooded beings, as well as the True Phoenix Dispersion Technique, which could help him save his life in times of crisis.

Upon first encountering the complete Pure Blood Life Treasure Technique of the Upper Realm, Shi Ziteng was utterly astonished. Compared to it, the so-called Pure Blood Life Treasure Techniques he had previously mastered were child's play, completely outclassed.

He benefited greatly, and his entire being underwent a qualitative transformation.

In terms of talent, he and Shi Ziling are about the same. In terms of strength, Shi Ziling is stronger than him because Shi Ziling has a holy maiden wife from a powerful clan in the upper realm. But now, with the precious techniques and secret methods taught to him by Shi Yi, it is hard to say who will win in a battle between the two.

After a long time, within Shi Ziteng's nine great cave heavens, nine terrifying pure-blooded beings appeared, replacing the old ones. His entire body's qi and blood surged, becoming far stronger than before.

"Father, you should understand the principle of not flaunting your wealth. These precious skills should not be easily revealed to others before you have sufficient strength."

"I will leave one day, and at that time, the Wu King's Mansion will still need you to protect it," Shi Yi earnestly instructed.

Shi Ziteng sensed Shi Yi's intention to leave, and a hint of melancholy appeared in his eyes. After more than ten years apart, they had just met again, and now they were about to part again?

"Not now, there's still some time to go."

Shi Ziteng nodded, pondered for a moment, and looked up at Shi Yi, saying, "Although you taught me these precious techniques, which have significantly improved my strength, Father will not cause trouble for Shi Ziling. After all, you said that all causes and effects will ultimately come back to you."

Upon hearing this, Shi Yi was deeply moved. This was just as he had expected; those who were truly close to him would never make things difficult for him.

"There are also some divine artifacts here."

Shi Yi spoke, and a series of incredibly powerful magical artifacts appeared in his hands, including the Void Halberd he frequently used.

These divine-level treasures are no longer useful to Shi Yi. His own strength is already enough to slay gods, so it's better to leave them to the Martial King's Mansion as a foundation. In a barren place like the lower realm, divine treasures are the treasures that protect a clan and have boundless power.

Of course, these things need to be entrusted to someone Shi Yi can trust, and Shi Ziteng is undoubtedly the best candidate.

"so much?"

Shi Ziteng was extremely surprised and shocked. Divine artifacts would be the most treasured items in any faction, but Shi Yi treated them like they were being sold wholesale, taking out huge quantities at once. This was simply outrageous.

He calmed himself down, put away the treasures, and looked at Shi Yi with immense pride. This was his own son, and he had achieved so much in just sixteen years. It was impossible not to be proud.

“Go and see the Rain Clan. That’s your mother’s clan. They paid a heavy price for fighting against Uncle Fifteen this time,” Shi Ziteng said with a sigh.

Shi Yi nodded and stood up. He planned to go to the Rain Clan right now. Before leaving, he turned back to Shi Ziteng and said something.

"Father...please rest assured, the matter of that year will eventually be settled, and all the knots will be untied."

Shi Ziteng nodded in response: "No matter what, cultivation is the most important thing. Everything else can be put aside for now. There's no need to worry about it too much."

Shi Yi indicated that he understood, and then left the Prince Wu's residence.

He took a step forward and descended before the Rain King's Palace.

This is an ancient and powerful clan, whose wind, rain, thunder, and lightning all have extraordinary origins.

Since the Rain Clan joined the Stone Kingdom, they have always been an important branch of the royal family, wielding considerable influence and forming marriage alliances with many royal families.

This time, the Great Demon God has returned, suppressing an entire clan—the Rain Clan.

At this moment, Shi Yi returned, suppressed the Great Demon God, and quelled the chaos in the capital. The trembling Rain Clan was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief and return to their former peace.

"Huh? You are..."

A cultivator from the Rain Clan saw Shi Yi walking out of the mansion. Looking at that familiar face, he was somewhat surprised and uncertain. He wanted to say that he looked quite like Shi Ziteng. Could it be Shi Yi? But those eyes were not double pupils.

"How dare you! Step back! This is the Qilin Child of the Martial King's Mansion..." A powerful member of the Rain Clan shouted, leading a large group of cultivators to greet Shi Yi's arrival.

Finally, the Rain King arrived. He had already changed into a flawless royal robe, but from the fluctuating aura emanating from him, it was clear that he had been seriously injured in the battle with the Great Demon God. If it weren't for the Rain Clan's formidable foundation, he would probably have been wiped out by the Great Demon God in one fell swoop.

"Yi'er...it's so good that you're alright," the Rain King said sincerely.

Shi Yi's mother was his most beloved descendant, and out of love for her, he naturally had special feelings for Shi Yi as well. Of course, the biggest reason was Shi Yi's amazing talent; if he were ordinary, he would never be in this situation.

Shi Yi paid homage to the Rain King as a junior and entered the Rain King's mansion surrounded by the Rain Clan members.

He first expressed his gratitude to the Rain King, and then told him about his decision regarding the events of that year. The Rain Clan was inevitably drawn into the bone-digging incident and did many shady things.
