Li Moulue glanced around at the people around him, shaking his rat whiskers and saying, "These bastards are all so stupid that they can't even think. If they had listened to my advice earlier, Wuyou Cave wouldn't have fallen to the point it is today."

Zhang Shixun quipped, "The officers and soldiers cleared out Wuyou Cave. Did you participate in the 'strategy'?"

Li Moulue said, "Of course I proposed a strategy, but no one wanted to listen to it."

Hearing this guy keep talking about "strategy", Zhang Shixun couldn't help laughing.

Li Kui coughed and said loudly, "Everyone, be quiet. Zhang Tianwang is here today and has something to tell you. Everyone, listen up. Huang San has been killed by Zhang Tianwang for colluding with outsiders..."

Someone clamored, "Huang San is the fourth in command, how can he be killed without authorization?"

"Cave Master, do you have any evidence that Huang Si, the Fourth Master, is colluding with outsiders?"

"Who is Zhang Tianwang? Why have I never heard of him before?"

"Why would an outsider come to Wuyou Cave to kill people?"

Zhang Shixun glanced down coldly without saying a word.

A sharp voice rang out: "I recognize this man. He is not a king at all, but a government official. The soldiers entered the cave to clear out the enemy that day, and this guy was among them."

"ah!"

There was a sudden buzzing sound below, and chaos broke out.

"Kill him! Kill him!" Several people drew their weapons.

Li Kui was a little panicked and looked at Zhang Shixun in horror.

Zhang Shixun sat there motionless, pointing at the people who were shouting the loudest, and sneered, "You guys want to kill me?"

"Not only will I kill you, I will also skin you alive." The leader took a vicious step forward.

"Well! Very good!" Zhang Shixun nodded, took out his gun and fired a shot.

The man fell to the ground with a hole on his forehead and half of his skull peeled off. White brain matter mixed with blood flowed all over the ground.

Everyone present looked at the dead bodies on the ground in horror, their faces pale.

There was silence for a moment, and then someone started crying out of fright.

"Oh my god! May God punish me with five thunders!" one of the minions shouted.

"He really is the king of heaven, he can summon the five thunderbolts..."

“Oh my god…!”

Several minions knelt down, shouting things like "God, please spare my life!"

"Who else wants to kill me?" Zhang Shixun stared at the others who wanted to kill him, his tone filled with cold murderous intent.

“Dang!” “Dang!”

The weapons of those men fell to the ground, and they all knelt down at the same time.

"The villain deserves to die!"

"I am blind and didn't recognize Heavenly King Zhang right in front of me."

"I beg Heavenly King Zhang to spare my life."

Zhang Shixun snorted coldly and said in a cold voice, "You were shouting so loudly just now, calling for war and killing so arrogantly, how come you're begging for mercy the next moment?"

"We are blind and don't recognize the great man. Please spare my life, Heavenly King Zhang. I will repay your kindness by working like a slave."

"Heavenly King, I have an eighty-year-old mother at home. Please spare my life."

Several people knelt on the ground and kowtowed desperately.

Li Moulue approached Zhang Shixun and whispered, "Zhang Tianwang, these people are all Huang San's men. If you want to reorganize Wuyou Cave, you can't keep them."

Zhang Shixun saw the murderous intent in his eyes and chuckled, "Do you think they can kill me?"

"No!" Li Moulue answered simply, "What I mean is, if we spare their lives, it might ruin the Heavenly King's plans... Heavenly King, if you can't be cruel, you can't be a real hero."

Zhang Shixun thought for a moment and said, "Although killing is simple, God is merciful and kind, so if you can avoid killing, then you should."

"The King is merciful." Li Moulue said no more and stepped aside.

The foreheads of those people were broken and blood was flowing down their cheeks.

Zhang Shixun said, "You followed Huang San and did many things that were unfair to your brothers. I should have killed you, but I still want to give you a chance..."

He paused deliberately.

When those people heard that they had a chance to survive, they burst into tears, kowtowed while crying, and said words of gratitude.

"The death penalty can be avoided, but the punishment of life imprisonment is unforgivable. Each person will be beaten with twenty sticks. If anyone shouts, one more stick will be given for each shout."

Those guys were very single: "My lord, although we are not heroes, we are not cowards either. It's just twenty strokes of the cane, we can handle it."

Li Kui called over a few minions, pinned those guys to the ground, and started beating them.

Those guys were really tough and didn't say a word.

Anyone who can enter the Worry-Free Cave is a desperate criminal. If they are not ruthless, they will not be able to survive.

After the twenty strokes of the cane, Zhang Shixun said, "From now on, the past will not be mentioned again. Everyone in Wuyou Cave must obey Li Kui's orders and must not disobey... Do you all understand?"

"I heard it clearly." There were mixed responses from the audience.

"Your voice is so low, you haven't even eaten yet? Answer me again, do you understand?"

"I heard it clearly!" This time the answer was loud.

Zhang Shixun said slowly, "You're probably all very curious about my purpose in coming to Wuyou Cave today. Now I'll tell you, I'm here for no other reason than to save you bastards and find you a way... no! Many ways to live like human beings in the rest of your lives, to marry, have children, and start a family."

Everyone present was stunned and looked at each other with disbelief in their eyes.

"I can see you don't believe me at all." Zhang Shixun glanced around, putting on a compassionate expression. He said, "Li Kui and the others call me the Heavenly King, but I don't deserve that title. To be honest, I was indeed sent by Heaven to carry out a sacred mission..."

There was a buzzing sound among the crowd; they were talking and whispering to each other.

"You all saw it just now. I can summon five thunderbolts with just a flick of my finger. To prove my identity, I'll show you something else." Zhang Shixun pulled out his PDA, stood up, walked over to a minion, and asked him, "What's your name?"

"My name is Wang Xiaoqi."

"Tsk tsk! This name sounds stingy, Wang Xiaoqi—Wang Stingy."

Everyone laughed.

Wang Xiaoqi bowed and said, "Your Majesty, my name sounds stingy, but I am not stingy."

Zhang Shixun turned on the camera in his computer, snapped a picture, and asked him to look at it: "Look, who is this dude in there?"

When Wang Xiaoqi saw his own photo, his mouth opened wide and his eyes almost popped out.

The other minions all gathered around to watch, and their expressions of surprise were no less than Wang Xiaoqi's.

"This... the person inside is Wang Xiaoqi." Someone finally couldn't help but shout out.
