Be the Hardest Working Demon Cultivator!

Chapter 115 98. Killing the entire family is the most fervent affair of a Cultivator

Ning Shuqi's enemy was none other than the current family head of the Tianjian Mansion of Chu State, who was Duan Wuya, born into the Dong family and also Dongdong's biological father. The root of this enmity stemmed from both sides' parents.

At that time, although Duan Wuya's father was much older than Ning Shuqi's father, Ning Tiancheng, the two had compatible personalities and became close friends.

Latterly, both men earned the recognition of the spiritual treasure, the Fire Qilin Sword.

Originally, the two friends agreed to a contest to decide the ultimate master of the Fire Qilin Sword through their skills in the Sword Dao, which was also seen as fulfilling a remarkable tale.

Since the disappearance of the myth three hundred years ago, cultivators could no longer live forever; all they could pursue was fame.

Unexpectedly, after learning of this matter, the parents of Ning Tiancheng decided not just to act but to decisively kill Duan Wuya's father using Ning Tiancheng's name as a pretense!

With the death of Duan Wuya's father, Ning Tiancheng became the sole recognized master of the Fire Qilin Sword, and naturally, the spiritual treasure fell into his hands.

For a time, Ning Tiancheng's reputation became unrivaled, and he held a banquet to announce this far and wide.

To the then Duan Wuya, the situation seemed flawless; he was even willing to respectfully address Ning Tiancheng, of the same age, as "Uncle."

However, Ning Tiancheng's parents considered Duan Wuya's existence a significant threat, so they sent assassins after him.

This time, however, miscalculation occurred, since Duan Wuya happened to be saved by the Dong family's heiress, who was also the elder sister of the Sword Young Master.

With the power of the Dong family, they managed to thoroughly expose what Ning Tiancheng's parents had done.

In life, choice always outweighs effort.

Originally, even if Duan Wuya knew the truth, seeking revenge would have been as difficult as reaching the heavens. However, after he chose to marry into the Dong family and with the staunch support of the Sword Young Master's elder sister, everything changed!

Experience new stories on empire

Then Master Peach transmitted a message: "Tell his Majesty not to panic; that thief has not yet arrived."

No need for emissaries from Emperor Yi, Master Peach had already witnessed all the movements on that side.

There, upon hearing the words from Master Peach, Emperor Yi also calmed down immediately. After all, despite the short time, Emperor Yi had experienced the mysterious abilities of Master Peach more than once.

"That despicable thief!"

Emperor Yi said angrily.

His remark was meant to vent frustration, but unexpectedly, a voice responded the next second: "Your Majesty, I was just greeting you, why respond so harshly?"

These words, of course, were said by Tan Shuchang.

As his voice fell, a Sword Qi rainbow hurtled down from the sky, neatly slicing the entire inner city of the imperial palace into two halves.

Ninety-nine years of cultivation led to this unimaginable feat.

With the arrival of Tan Shuchang, the entire sky turned a blood-red hue, more vivid than the afterglow of a sunset, casting down colors that terrified everyone in the imperial palace.

"Tan Shuchang!"

Although Emperor Yi had only met Tan Shuchang twice, he recognized him immediately and stood up from his throne because he hadn't expected Tan Shuchang's arrival to be so swift, nor could he fathom the rapid pace of his cultivation.

Previously, when killing the elder of Mount Swordsmen, he had had to manifest his self-invented Dharma Aspect Divine Skills, but now this fellow could achieve it with just a sword strike across the air?

"Your Majesty, long time no see!" Tan Shuchang clasped his hands and greeted warmly, his demeanor not at all indicative of someone who had come for vengeance.
