The black-clothed masked man, who was like a god of death, slowly raised his head. His cold gaze swept across everyone's faces, as if he was looking at a bunch of unconscious corpses. In the end, his gaze stopped on Wei ChengPing. After a slight pause, a spark suddenly exploded in his eyes. He slowly asked, "Wei ChengPing?"
His voice was filled with a sense of superiority and absolute authority. It was as if he was a high and mighty god who held the power to decide the life and death of these people in front of him. In the main hall, more than a hundred people were huddled together. Everyone's eyes were filled with extreme fear as they looked at the man in black. The swords in their hands glinted coldly, but no one dared to take a step forward. Not even one dared to breathe loudly!
Under the powerful aura of the man in black, this group of originally tyrannical imperial guards had turned into a group of obedient lambs!
"You … Who are you? What do you want to do?! " In the end, Wei ChengPing was still the crown prince of a country. Even though he was incomparably terrified and his face was pale, he still tried his best to control his tone and pretend to be dignified. However, his body couldn't help but tremble slightly, and his body uncontrollably shrank back.
The black masked man shook the sword in his hand, and the last drop of blood on the tip of the sword flew out with a 'xiu' sound. It was extremely fast, and with a 'pa' sound, it landed on the right side of Wei ChengPing's face. The smell of blood assailed his nostrils, and Wei ChengPing almost vomited. However, he heard the man in black say coldly, "Wei Chengping, I thought you were a character. I didn't expect you to ask such a childish question. When a person does something he shouldn't do, he will receive retribution. When you provoke someone you shouldn't provoke, you will also have to bear the consequences. Today is your retribution. Oh right, let me tell you a piece of good news first … "
The screams outside became more and more tragic. Suddenly, there was another scream. "He, he is the one who killed His Majesty! His Majesty has returned to heaven! "
"His Majesty! His Majesty has passed away! "
"Catch them, catch the murderer of His Majesty!"
"Ah! Those are the Imperial Concubines … This evil man, he actually … Ah! "A blood-curdling scream rang out. It was clear that the one who had shouted the loudest had already followed after his master.
"Did you hear that? Your father is dead. That means that you are now the ruler of the Northern Wei! You must be very happy to hear this news that you've been dreaming of! "The black-clothed man's tone was filled with the tone of a cat playing with a mouse, teasing it to death!
"You … Who … Who are you? Why? Why did you attack us? Who instigated you? Now that Imperial Father has passed away, I am the ruler of the Northern Wei. I can agree to any conditions you have! " Under extreme fear, Wei ChengPing calmed down instead. In his eyes of despair, there was even a hint of hope!
Could he convince the man in black?
The answer was, of course, no!
"The lives of the people of the world are in my hands, the first tower under the heavens!" The black-robed man recited slowly, his eyes turning cold. "Your words are too childish and laughable. To tell you the truth, you, the new ruler of the Northern Wei, are our target this time! Prepare to step onto the path to the Yellow Springs! Wei Chengping! The name of the First Tower will once again shake the world because of the destruction of the Northern Wei's royal family! "
The chilling tone instantly announced two words: death!
The Northern Wei's royal palace turned into a sea of fire overnight. The fire continued to burn for three days, until everything in the palace was reduced to ashes! It was said that on the first night of the fire, the flames shot up tens of zhang into the sky. The heat wave was so intense that the smell of roasted corpses could be clearly heard from hundreds of li away!
There were more than three thousand people in the palace, but less than five hundred were lucky enough to survive! The emperor, concubines, princes, and princesses were all killed! Crown Prince Wei Chengping's five limbs were broken, and his naked body was hung at the city gates. There was not a single piece of flesh on his body that was intact! The methods of the person who did this were so vicious and cruel that it made one's hair stand on end!
The name of the First Tower spread like wildfire across the entire Heavenly Star Continent, and even the entire world! Everyone shuddered in fear. Only the heavens knew why this group of murderers would suddenly appear out of nowhere and slaughter their way into the world after more than a year of silence! And the moment they made their move, the heavens and earth shook! The Northern Wei was such a colossus that it could not even put up a fight against the First Tower's unparalleled sword!
What kind of strength was this?!
At the same time, rumors spread all over the continent. Some said that the Northern Wei's royal family was hired by the number one family in the Northern Wei, Tamago, in order to dominate the Northern Wei and conquer the world. Others said that the First Tower was hired by the Shui Family of the Heavenly Wind Continent to get rid of Tamago's greatest support, so that they could prepare to invade the Heavenly Star Continent at any time!
Some said that the Xiao family was extremely wealthy, and only the Xiao family could afford to hire the First Tower for such a huge and crazy mission. Of course, there were also people who guessed that the Northern Wei had once dealt with the Ling family, General Ling Xiao. Perhaps the Ling family had hired the First Tower for revenge. After all, General Ling Xiao's wife, Ling Tian's mother, Madam Chu Ting, was the most famous Goddess of Wealth in the world …
But no matter what, apart from those involved, no one knew the truth. After this incident, the Heavenly Star Continent had turned into a pot of muddy water!
With the Northern Wei's royal family being wiped out, there were no more descendants, and they were like a group of dragons without a leader. This was equivalent to an absolute power vacuum between the various powers, and all of them began to stir restlessly. However, due to the thousand years of prestige that Tamago had accumulated, none of the powers dared to jump out and take control of the Northern Wei.
Swords were drawn, and a storm was brewing!
However, at this sensitive moment, something big happened in Tamago!
Ever since the two elders of Tamago led their troops to Sky Bearing, Yu ManTang only found out a few days later that the Tamago's operation this time was actually to arrange a marriage for his daughter, and even send her dowry. Furthermore, the other party was someone who was destined to die! As her biological parents, Yu ManTang and his wife were completely unaware of this matter! Yu ManTang could not help but be enraged! This honest man from Tamago finally showed his rage for the first time.
Tamago, in the Martial Pointer Pavilion.
"Big brother, I want to know what is going on with BingYan's marriage?" Yu ManTang rushed over hurriedly, and along the way, the screams of the guards could be heard. He stood in front of Yu ManLou like a whirlwind, "I am BingYan's biological father, how can I not know about her marriage? How can I not know about my only daughter's marriage?! Shouldn't you give me an explanation?! "
"Ling Tian is not bad, and furthermore, isn't he the son-in-law that you personally chose? Can't I make the decision for Yan 'er? Don't tell me that you want to deny this marriage because Ling Tian is being pursued by Justice? " Yu ManLou slowly raised his head and looked down at his younger brother, "The Martial Pointer Pavilion is a secret place of the family, and without my permission, no one is allowed to enter. What crime do you think you should be charged for barging in today?"
"Big brother, let's not beat around the bush. Ever since BingYan's matter happened, you entered the Martial Pointer Pavilion because you didn't want to face my interrogation." Yu ManTang's eyes were filled with heartache, "Ling Tian and Yan 'er are in love with each other, and it is a good thing for them to be together. But now, Ling Tian is being pursued by Justice. Others might not be clear about Justice's strength, but we in Tamago are the clearest about it. The First Elder of the previous generation, the number one expert in Tamago, Elder Yu ChaoChen, died in his hands. Isn't it a little too inappropriate to talk about marriage at this juncture?! "
Yu ManLou retracted his gaze, "Second brother, you also said that Yan 'er and Ling Tian are in love with each other. Don't tell me you want to separate them?"
Yu ManTang sneered, "Big brother, I will still say the same thing. Let's not beat around the bush. As her father, I am the clearest about Yan 'er's personality. Since she is in love with Ling Tian, it means that she will never change her mind. Even if Ling Tian were to die, she would have no regrets. What I am truly heartbroken about is that big brother is using BingYan's marriage to hit her when she is down. Big brother, aren't you going too far?!"
"Everything I am doing is for the family! I have a clear conscience! " Yu ManLou slammed the table and stood up, "As a descendant of Tamago, when it is time to sacrifice, you must have the resolve to sacrifice yourself! You will never be able to accomplish great things if you are in love! Second brother, I have already told you many times. If you continue to let your emotions affect your decisions, what will happen to the thousand-year foundation of Tamago? "
"You might not be able to accomplish great things if you are in love, but do you think that you will be able to rule the world just because you are in love?" Yu ManTang did not back down, "Big brother, all these years, our Tamago has already sacrificed and killed many outstanding descendants of Tamago. Don't you feel the slightest bit of heartache? The teachings of our ancestors are only for us to pass down our legacy and not for us to rule the world! Big brother, can you really say that you have a clear conscience?! "
"In this chaotic world, do you think that you will be able to survive if you don't use iron-blooded methods to unify the world? What a joke. "Yu ManLou placed his hands behind his back and looked at Yu ManTang deeply," As a man, I should be proud for my entire life! The heavens have given me the opportunity to unify the world. If I don't make use of this opportunity to stand at the peak of the world, wouldn't I have lived my life in vain? How is this any different from an autumn of grass and trees? I have a clear conscience and have no regrets! "
"With a flip of my hand, the winds and clouds will stir. With a flip of my hand, a thunderstorm will strike the heavens! If I am happy, the world will celebrate. If I am angry, corpses will fall! This is the will of a man, this is the spirit of a man! This is the blood of a man! Why should I be ashamed, why should I regret?! "
"If I succeed, I will be famous for my achievements! If I fail, it will only be an autumn of grass and trees! It is nothing more than this, what is there to be afraid of? In order to achieve this goal, so what if I have to resort to unscrupulous means? " Yu ManLou suddenly turned around and pointed at the picturesque landscape outside the window with a sinister expression, "Do you see it? The landscape is picturesque! The landscape is picturesque! Second brother, if you are able to trample on this world and make it tremble in fear, you will be able to control the life and death of millions of ants! What regrets do you have in life? "
Yu ManLou's eyes flashed like lightning, "In order to achieve this goal, so what if I have to sacrifice all living beings in the world and flood the three continents? Furthermore, I am only sacrificing a woman and a few men! Not to mention that BingYan is my niece, even if she is my biological daughter, I will not hesitate! I should have done this long ago! All of these sacrifices are worth it compared to the rewards that are about to come! Too worth it! Hahaha … "(To be continued, if you want to know what happened next, please go to www.qidian.com, there are more chapters. Support the author, support the original reading!)
