  Pa!

  Qu Qiuxue moved, her palm pressing down on empty air. Immediately, one man’s head was crushed, and blood spurted out in all directions.

  This was the Ministry of War!

  To publicly commit murder in the Ministry of War, how overbearing was that?

  Of course, only Qu Qiuxue would dare do something like that. She represented the imperial decree of the empress. Putting aside the fact that she had only killed these people without any official rank to speak of, so what if they did have official rank?

  “No, don’t kill me!”

  “It’s Zhao—”

  “It’s Sha—”

  These people were just about to confess that it was Zhao Lun and Sha Yuan behind them, but Qu Qiuxue did not give them this chance. Her palm struck out once more, and the heads of these 20-odd people were instantly crushed. Bright crimson blood and white brain matter splattered all over the ground.

  It was bloody, cruel, and forceful. This was a suppression.

  Everyone else was shaking in fear. This was the empress expressing her stand on this matter.

  Don’t think that just because the empress resided deep in the palace, she knew nothing, and could easily be fooled by her subjects! On the contrary, the empress perceived even the finest details, and there was nothing that could be hidden from her.

  Obviously, Her Imperial Majesty was unimpressed by the web of relations that the Great Generals had interwoven among themselves. This was the Empress’s Majestic Empire, and not the backyard of any Great Generals!

  However, the empress had obviously left some face for Great General Zhao and Great General Sha. Though these “witnesses” had been executed, she did not let Zhao Lun or Sha Yuan be implicated in the matter. Otherwise, if she really wanted to pursue this matter, these two people would really be in for some serious punishment.

  Moreover, it was also very interesting that the empress had appointed Ling Han as a seventh-rank military officer, because Zhao Lun was also a seventh-rank military officer. In the Chaotic Stars Majestic Empire, the two of them were completely equal in rank now.

  Qu Qiuxue withdrew her hand, and calmly said, “I have to return now. I shall not further disturb your public trial; you may continue with it!”

  As she said so, she walked off.

  “We see the Chief Commander off!” The masses once again knelt.

  Qu Qiuxue had left for quite a while, and the air unique to an elite of the Heavenly Body Tier finally disappeared. Everyone seemed to have gone through a major illness, their expressions extremely unsightly.

  Just now, Qu Qiuxue had deliberately released the air of the Heavenly Body Tier. The intimidation from that was naturally frightening. If she had intended to kill them, everyone here would be killed in an instant, their spirits directly crushed under her pressure.

  “Are we continuing the trial?” Gu Tianchu asked, his voice trembling.

  What else was there to investigate!

  Her Imperial Majesty had already issued an imperial decree to promote Ling Han, and they were to still continue the trial? F***, wasn’t that putting their own heads on a tray? Were they tired of living to actually choose to go against the empress’s will?

  “After strict investigation, we have confirmed that the previous witnesses were all framing Ling Han. The matter of defection and treason is completely false!” Kong Chenghe felt like he had swallowed a few hundred flies, but had no choice but to announce the verdict. “Ling Han is acquitted and released; this matter is never to be mentioned again in future! Whoever dares to discuss the matter of Ling Han’s defection will be dealt with under the crime of having slandered a meritorious official of the empire!”

  After saying so, the three men left as if they were fleeing from something.

  They really could not bear to stay any longer. They felt as if their faces would twitch every single time Ling Han’s eyes swept over them; it was incredibly uncomfortable!

  Everyone left bit by bit. Very quickly, every detail of this public trial spread throughout the whole Imperial Capital.

  Naturally, no one dared to once again mention the matter of Ling Han’s defection.

  Even the empress had declared her position in this matter, and who would dare go against her judgement?

  In the Chaotic Stars Majestic Empire, the empress was a true god. She was the heaven and earth. Her every word and her every opinion were worth more than anything.

  Meanwhile, Ling Han was finally able to return to the Great Ling Empire.

  Previously, he had already planned to do so. However, the sudden invasion of the Golden Lion Nation had interrupted his plans, and with such a delay, more than two months had passed.

  The things that should be prepared he had long prepared. He had also refined more alchemical pills which he left in the pharmacy. Money should still be earned.

  “I will go with you.” Shui Yanyu knew that he had long since planned to return.

  Ling Han smiled slightly, and said, “You are my wife, and indeed, you should meet those brothers of mine… furthermore, after we return to the Great Ling Empire, it should be time for us to have our wedding night so you can bear me a few children.”

  “Go to hell!” Shui Yanyu feigned anger, rolling her eyes at him.

  Ling Han laughed loudly. On the second day, he left the Imperial Capital with Shui Yanyu, and set out towards the Great Ling Empire.

  They had the Cloud Piercing Shuttle with them. Unless an elite of the Heavenly Body Tier made a move to snipe them out of the skies, it would definitely be impossible to catch them. Of course, when they returned to the Great Ling Empire, it would also be considerably dangerous. There were no elites standing guard, so even if Ling Han was a seventh-rank military officer of the Chaotic Stars Majestic Empire, it was useless. Who would care?

  However, after being away for so long, Ling Han was definitely going to return at least once. Previously, he had been unable to leave because of his status as a hostage. Now that he had the chance, he definitely had to return to the Great Ling Empire.

  Only if the Great Ling Empire really prospered and flourished would he be able to leave with a light heart, and find his parents, son, and female friends.

  The Cloud Piercing Shuttle streaked through the air like it was a bolt of lightning. Very soon, even the eyes of the Mountain River Tier could no longer see it. Even if elites of the Sun Moon Tier pursued it with full effort, they could only feel powerless and too lacking to catch up.

  Half a month later, the Cloud Piercing Shuttle brought the couple to the Great Ling Empire.

  Finally, he had returned!

  Ling Han let out a deeply moved sigh. Although he was now already an Immortal, he was still more accustomed to his original world.

  Weng!

  The great formation of the Imperial Capital activated, and targeted the Cloud Piercing Shuttle. However, it was only a formation technique of Shattering Void Tier-level, so even with a boost from power of the nation, it could not possibly become any sort of obstruction to the Cloud Piercing Shuttle.

  It only trembled slightly, and the Cloud Piercing Shuttle had burst through the obstruction of the formation technique, descending down on the Imperial Palace.

  “Who goes there!” Abruptly, everyone in the Imperial Palace was stirred up.

  The moment the defensive formation technique broke, the totem naturally sent out a warning to those in the Imperial Palace at the first opportunity.

  Hence, Feng Po Yun, the Rain Emperor, Murong Qing, Helian Tianyun, and the others all rushed out, and added with a large number of soldiers, they surrounded the Cloud Piercing Shuttle.

  Was this bullying them just because they were a nation without a monarch? They actually dared mock them like this!

  “Humph, allow me to crush this wretched vessel!” Helian Tianyun had a fiery temper. Though he looked to be less
than 10 years old, the air he exuded was shockingly at the Immortal level. He punched out, and it transformed into a roaring black dragon that shot out towards the Cloud Piercing Shuttle.

  “Awoo…” A gigantic Demonic Beast appeared, and with a claw of its paw, the black dragon was shattered. It went incredibly easy. “Hahahaha, I, the Asura Demon Emperor, have once again returned!”

  ‘What!?’

  Helian Tianyun and the others were all astonished. They naturally knew who the Asura Demon Emperor was. Not long before Ma Duo Bao had opened the sky, he had even come here with the people of the five sects to attempt to kill Ling Han so he could snatch away the latter’s fated opportunity.

  Hadn’t this guy been subdued by Ling Han? Why had he now appeared here again? Furthermore, he had become so powerful that he could easily disperse even an attack from Helian Tianyun!

  It had to be known that though Helian Tianyun had just broken through to the Immortal level, he had cultivated up to the Shattering Void Tier in two lifetimes. When Ling Han opened the skies, his power had reached 14 stars, and after opening the sky, as a subject of the Great Ling Empire, he had also been rewarded by the heaven and earth. Though his good fortune was not as much as Ling Han’s, he had still been given a boost of an additional two stars.

  In strength alone, he had already reached 16 stars. That kind of foundation was too deep and resounding, so the moment he advanced into the Mountain River Tier, his battle prowess would be able to exceed four stars, which was incredibly frightening.

  Yet the Asura Demon Emperor managed to easily disperse a full-power attack from him; then, how powerful had this demon become?

  More importantly, since he appeared, then what about Ling Han? Could it be that he had been murdered?

  Pa!

  Just at this moment, a tall, slender figure appeared. He raised a hand and gave a sharp knock on the head of the Demon Wolf. “What are you strutting around for?”

  “Hehe, this Little Asura has returned to our homeland, and so had gotten a bit carried away. Please forgive me, Master!” The Demon Wolf that had been so majestic moments ago abruptly became an obedient puppy, waving that huge tail of his madly, “pander” written all over his face.

  F***, he had really changed faces too fast, hadn’t he!

  “Fourth Brother!”

  “Your Majesty!”

  “Master!”

  “Young Master Ling!”

  “Ling Han!”

  Feng Po Yun, Ding Ping, Can Ye, and the seven Kings as well as the various guardians all exclaimed in surprise. As it turned out, Ling Han had returned!

  “Big Brother! Second Brother! Third Brother!” Ling Han quickly ran over, and embraced Feng Po Yun and the others.

  Even though this group of men would not shed tears easily, they could not help but break out in tears now. Yet, at the same time, they were laughing loudly, which caused Shui Yanyu, who had followed outside, to look out curiously because she had never seen this face of Ling Han.

  This was the real Ling Han, wasn’t he? In the Imperial Capital, where he was unfamiliar and all alone, he had been wearing a mask, and closed off his heart. He had only let go of his facade at this moment, and showed his truest face here.

  She looked on gladly. The more pleased this man was, the happier she was as well.

  “This is…” Everyone had spotted Shui Yanyu, and had also sensed the powerful air she was exuding. That was a suppression from a superior level, a limitation that no genius could possibly step over.

  She was just like Helian Tianyun, at the Immortal level!

  “Oh, she is my wife, Shui Yanyu,” Ling Han introduced, smiling.

  Shui Yanyu was both embarrassed and pleased. However, there were too many people here, so she was too embarrassed to pinch Ling Han. She merely gave a slight bow, and said, “Yanyu meets Big Brother, Second Brother, Third Brother!” Just now, she had watched Ling Han call out to Feng Po Yun and the others, so she was naturally aware that these three men were Ling Han’s sworn brothers.

  “Yi, then what about me?” Helian Tianyun was displeased now. ‘I am f****** in the ancestor’s rank, so why has she not greeted me?’

  “Don’t mind him, he’s just a shameless old man pretending to be young.” Ling Han shoved Helian Tianyun aside, causing the latter to yell out in anger. Ordinarily speaking, Ling Han should also call him an ancestor. ‘Damn it, damn it!’

  “Madam!” Ding Ping called out loudly, slightly hesitant to look upon such a beautiful madam.

  Ling Han swept an eye over him, and said, “Not bad. I have just left for over a year, and you have already cultivated until the Spiritual Infant Tier! This time, I will give you private lessons again, allowing you to advance into the Immortal level before I leave!”

  “Fourth Brother, are you leaving again?” Feng Po Yun muttered.

  Ling Han broke into a smile, and said, “This time, not only I will leave. You all leave with me, Brothers. I have already established some foundation in the Chaotic Stars Majestic Empire, and I presently need you all to lend me a helping hand, Brothers!”

  Feng Po Yun and the others were greatly pleased. They were all proud and powerful figures in their own right, each one of them an incredible genius. How rare was it for someone to be able to cultivate all the way up to the Shattering Void Tier in a small world? They, too, longed to make their way in the Immortal Realm. It was only because Ling Han had been taken away as a hostage that they had to protect the Great Ling Empire on his behalf.

  Now that Ling Han had established some foundation, they were naturally pleasantly surprised.

  “Fourth Brother, you are really incredible. I thought that I would have to stay here for more than a century to be able to see you again.” The Rain Emperor laughed. This was not an overboard compliment. It had to be known that appearing in the kind of place that the Immortal Realm was, it was a given that Ling Han would have to start over from zero.

  Only Shui Yanyu was the clearest about the amazing accomplishments that Ling Han had made in this last year or so. The fact caused her heart to ripple and her eyes to become tender.

  “Come, come, come. Fourth Brother, tell us what you have gone through in the last year!” Murong Qing pulled on Ling Han. “Oh, right. What cultivation level are you in now?”

  This attracted everyone’s curiosity. After all, the most crucial thing for cultivators was still cultivation level.

  Everyone here was his trusted comrade, so there was nothing that Ling Han felt the need to hide. Hence, he replied, “The peak stage of the medium extreme.”

  Pu!

  Helian Tianyun abruptly choked. Only he had advanced into Immortal level in this place, so he was naturally aware how difficult it was to advance in the Mountain River Tier. Putting aside the peak stage of medium extreme, even if Ling Han was only in the peak stage of the low extreme, it would have been inconceivable!

  It should be known that even he was only in the early stage of low extreme, and there was practically not even a sliver of improvement since he broke through.

  There was nothing that could be done. His cultivation resources could not catch up. In this place, how would he have been able to obtain True Origin Stones or various Immortal level Divine Pills?

  “You brat are a freak, you have always been,” he exclaimed. Just imagine, the fact he had lived two lives was already awesome enough, yet he was still no match for Ling Han.

  Shui Yanyu, though, was surprised. She naturally knew that Ling Han had come by opening the sky, and she had also heard Ling Han speak of the origins of those close to him, so she knew that these people did not have Immortal level background.

  But even with that, Helian Tianyun still managed to advance into the Mountain River Tier. This was too inconceivable. If she told this to others, probably no one would believe her.

  For them to be able to come by opening the sky in a small world, there were truly a number of super geniuses gathered here!

  Ling Han laughed loudly, and said, “
Come, let’s speak as we walk.”

  The four brothers, along with Helian Tianyun and Ding Ping, were those closest to Ling Han. As they drank wine, they heard Ling Han talk about his experiences in the last year and so. They all felt overwhelmed by emotions, wanting nothing more than to immediately charge out into this boundless Immortal Realm themselves to make their way in this world and have their own adventures.

  When Ling Han had finished his account, Feng Po Yun and the others also talked about the recent situation in the Great Ling Empire. Restlessness was secretly brewing!

  “Fourth Brother, you have not returned for a long time, causing some people to have inappropriate ideas.” Murong Qing was the first to speak.

  “Recently, when government decrees are relayed, they encountered obvious obstruction. Some of the people underneath are no longer willing to know their own place.” The Rain Emperor humphed, killing intent burning in his eyes. When speaking of the management and government of a country, he was the most experienced. He was also the one among the four brothers whose killing intent flourished the most and was the most domineering.

  Ling Han smiled slightly. As long as one had enough ability, they would be able to easily suppress everything else.

  Attaching oneself to a Majestic Empire had at least one advantage, and that was that the safety of your nation would be guaranteed, and other nations would not easily launch an invasion into your territory… and even if there was an invasion, you would still be able to ask for help from your suzerain empire, just like the Eastern Rain Nation previously.

  Thus, the possibility that the Great Ling Empire was facing an external threat was not high, but if there was internal strife among them, the Chaotic Stars Majestic Empire would not be so free as to interfere in their internal matters. In any case, they only had to guarantee that this territory was still attached to the Chaotic Stars Majestic Empire, and that was sufficient.

  This was an internal matter, so outsiders were naturally not going to interfere so easily.
