After dealing with the two members of the Han family, Zhou Ke hurriedly followed Su Yang.
In fact, with Su Yang's ability to perceive the myriad states of mind, it would be very easy for him to know Zhou Ke's behavior.
Back at the Demon-Slaying Sect, Zhou Ke gave some instructions and then bid farewell to Steward Wang. In Jiangdu, the Han family was almost completely wiped out, and other families and forces friendly to the Han family had also suffered heavy losses. More than twenty Spirit Void Realm experts—this was no small matter; nearly half of Jiangdu's experts had died in a single day!
Among them was a palace guard.
Inside the palace.
News of the Han family's annihilation had already reached the palace, and the Jiang Kingdom's king was immediately enraged upon hearing it. To wipe out a family within Jiangdu's borders was blatant disrespect to the royal family and the entire Jiang Kingdom!
But when he calmed down, he dared not have such a thought.
The opponent directly wiped out more than twenty Spirit Void Realm experts, not including the experts from the Han family. In total, they killed more than thirty Spirit Void Realm experts! Unless the entire nation mobilizes its resources, it is impossible to fight against such an expert.
This kind of person can only be befriended, never befriended!
Thinking of this, the king calmed his anger and slowly said, "Was that powerful figure someone who acted to help eliminate the evil sect?"
A man in military armor clasped his hands in a fist salute and said, "Yes."
The king put down the scroll and said calmly, "Very well, let the Divine Army send ten men to help them exterminate the evil sect. If they encounter any trouble, our royal family will provide full assistance."
The man in military armor was taken aback: "Your Majesty, why do you do this? They killed one of our palace guards."
The king swept his eyes over the man with an air of absolute authority: "Do I need to report to you what I do?"
The soldier immediately knelt down: "This humble general dares not, this humble general will go and do it right away."
After saying that, the man turned and left.
The King of Jiang narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at the man, his gaze finally settling on the scroll in front of him.
"Sigh, I never expected that such a powerful person would come to this remote place. I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse."
Thinking of this, the king smiled again.
At the very least, weakening the power of the four major families is good for the royal family.
...
Inside Jiangdu.
The Su family, the Lin family, and the Situ family.
These three families were on good terms with the Han family. After learning about the Han family's misfortune, they all sent several experts at the Spirit Void Realm to investigate. Little did they expect that this trip would result in their permanent deaths there.
They were furious.
What's infuriating is why the Han family would provoke such a powerful entity! Because of the Han family, they lost their most elite fighting force! With so much fighting power lost, their absolute influence in Jiangdu is now undoubtedly gone.
They could only curse, but they really dared not underestimate the Demon-Slaying Sect.
If you provoke them, they might wipe out your entire family. In particular, they warned their children never to go and cause trouble with the evil sects.
They had heard that it was Han Yi from the Han family who had recklessly stirred up trouble in the past, which led to this catastrophic disaster.
...
This incident caused quite a stir in Jiangdu.
With the Han family destroyed, the other three great families went into seclusion, and the royal family even sent people to curry favor with the Zhuxie Sect. All signs indicate that everyone is starting to try to win over the Zhuxie Sect.
Faced with absolute strength, all tricks seem so fragile; only fists can convince everyone.
This is the law of the cultivation world!
On the Sky Ship.
Su Yang stood at the very front of the boat, feeling the wind blowing against his face. This refreshing feeling seemed to wash away the murderous aura from his hands.
After standing there for about three minutes, Zhou Ke came to his side and leaned on the railing, lost in thought.
Su Yang smiled and said, "You've done a good job of eliminating the root of the problem to prevent future troubles."
Zhou Ke clicked his tongue and laughed self-deprecatingly, "I didn't think that much about it. I just wanted revenge. I used to think that there were only two kinds of evil in the world: good and evil. But now I see that people's hearts are even uglier than evil."
Su Yang smiled faintly: "This is just one side of human nature that you have seen. The more you experience, the more you will understand."
Zhou Ke pursed her lips and glanced at Su Yang sideways: "You don't look that old, but you talk like a grandfather."
Hearing this, Su Yang didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Since he unlocked his memories that had been dormant for a thousand years, he could easily be considered not only a grandfather but also a great-grandfather.
Thinking of this, Su Yang suddenly asked, "By the way, are you really a woman?"
Zhou Ke's lips twitched, and she stared at Su Yang with wide eyes: "What, don't I look like it!"
Su Yang was embarrassed: "It's not that you don't look like a woman, it's just that I never thought you were a woman..."
Although Zhou Ke is indeed very pretty and has a small face, her short, unrestrained hair and tight-fitting outfit make her look like a man.
The most crucial point is that Zhou Ke doesn't have any breasts!
Seeing Su Yang staring at her chest, Zhou Ke blushed and immediately covered her chest, scolding, "Why are you staring at my chest!"
Su Yang is innocent: "Heaven and earth bear witness, you don't even have breasts, I've been looking at nothing at all."
Zhou Ke blushed even more: "Who, who said I didn't! I just... I just wrapped my chest up."
Zhou Ke's voice was very soft at the end, completely different from her usual assertive manner, like that of a timid woman.
Su Yang felt a little uncomfortable, but still asked, "Why are you wearing a bra?"
Zhou Ke said angrily, "It's all because of that Han Yi. He wanted me to marry him before, so I shaved my head and bound my chest. But later I found that it was actually lighter and more convenient for cultivation and practice, so I've been doing it like this ever since."
Su Yang smiled and gave a thumbs up, saying, "You're truly amazing."
At this moment, Zhou Ke asked in return, "By the way, why are you so strong?"
Su Yang said, "Hmm... I guess it's innate."
Zhou Ke rolled her eyes: "You're just bragging. Is it so hard to tell me about cultivation methods?"
"It's truly innate."
"I don't believe it!"
"..."
The journey was smooth sailing.
The distance from Cangzhou to Zhongzhou wasn't that far, but the main challenge was the journey from Jiangdu to the capital of Zhongzhou, a truly daunting distance. The Sky Ship was many times faster than the Cloud Sail Ship, yet it still took two full days and two nights to reach its destination, finally landing at dawn on the third day.
Moreover, Su Yang had noticed it from the moment he arrived.
Within the capital of Zhongzhou, the city was truly enclosed by layers upon layers of walls, resembling a defense against some ancient giant. Furthermore, the city stretched for thousands of miles, seemingly without end!
Zhou Ke leaned on the railing at the bow of the boat, her eyes sparkling with curiosity: "Is this Zhongzhou?"
Su Yang stood to the side, arms crossed, with no particularly happy expression on his face.
"Zhongzhou, we've finally arrived."
