Chapter 93: The Young People’s Taste is So Heavy Nowadays

Wanping City was in chaos.

Xiao Changlao’s eyes had turned red, and his face was covered in blood vessels as he was being strangled.

He was on the verge of madness, and his voice was cold and menacing: “Even if you kill me, what’s the point? The Imperial Court has countless experts, it won’t take long, not just you, even the Empress…”

His voice suddenly stopped.

“Empress what? Continue speaking,” Nie Chen’s eyes were icy cold.

Xiao Changlao suddenly smiled coldly: “If you want me to speak, we need to discuss the conditions. Otherwise, you think I’ll just tell you?”

Xiao Changlao, who had thought he was facing death, suddenly regained his confidence.

Because he discovered that Nie Chen’s concern for Empress Qingyue far exceeded his own imagination.

If he used Empress Qingyue’s secret as a bargaining chip, not only could he possibly save his own life, but he might even be able to drag Nie Chen down.

As long as he firmly grasped Empress Qingyue’s secret, Nie Chen would be temporarily unable to do anything to him.

Xiao Changlao felt Nie Chen’s grip on his neck loosen slightly.

He became more confident and couldn’t help but laugh: “You didn’t want to kill me? Come on, why are you afraid now? Ahahah! Indeed, Empress Qingyue holds a high position in your heart. As long as I have the secret that endangers Empress Qingyue, you’ll never dare to kill me, hahahaha!”

But just as his laughter reached its peak, Xiao Changlao suddenly felt an intense force on his neck, far more terrifying than before.

“Ka.”

The crisp sound of his neck breaking echoed through the air.

Xiao Changlao’s eyes turned red, and his gaze was filled with disbelief.

“You, how dare you!”

“Spare me, spare me, I’ll tell you…”

But Nie Chen showed no signs of stopping.

With a final, decisive sound, Xiao Changlao’s neck was completely shattered, and his body slumped to the ground.

Blood flowed from his seven orifices, and his death was a tragic one.

Until the end, he couldn’t understand why Nie Chen had really killed him.

“What a cheap request, it seems this kid’s brain isn’t very good,” Nie Chen sighed.

He still wanted to threaten him?

The System’s store only needed one skill point to exchange for the Soul Search Technique, why would he need to listen to Xiao Changlao’s nonsense?

Nie Chen exchanged for the Soul Search Technique and directly swept through Xiao Changlao’s broken body.

Scene after scene flashed into his mind, allowing him to witness all of Xiao Changlao’s memories from recent days.

A moment later, Nie Chen threw away the corpse, his brow furrowed.

Indeed, things were not as simple as they seemed on the surface.

Shu Zi’an had not only ordered the Imperial Court to hunt him down but had also voluntarily become the Three Emperors’ dog.

He had even kidnapped the newly inherited Western Sea Dragon King and used his own blood and the Dragon King’s blood as a sacrifice to try and open the Dragon Blood Array.

The Dragon Blood Array was extremely mysterious and had been lost for thousands of years.

When the Three Emperors attacked the Heavenly Cloud Palace, this array would become one of the most crucial killing tools.

The array had three Transforming Sea Realm experts sitting in town, casting the spell.

However, they were currently in the Imperial Court’s capital, and it would take at least ten minutes to arrive.

This time was extremely short, and before the Transforming Sea Realm experts were alerted, Nie Chen had to kill Shu Zi’an as quickly as possible.

Nie Chen quickly moved, heading out of the city.

As he passed through the city gate, the soldier Wang Liu stopped him curiously: “Hey, brother, you just entered the city, and now you’re leaving? But didn’t something happen in the city just now, do you know what it was?”

“Something happened? Indeed, many things happened,” Nie Chen smiled.

“Do you remember what I said before I entered the city?”

Wang Liu thought for a moment, looking puzzled: “Was it… you’re handsome?”

Nie Chen shook his head.

“Was it… you’re more handsome than Nie Chen?”

Nie Chen shook his head again.

“Then what was it?” Wang Liu was completely stumped.

Nie Chen smiled slightly: “Didn’t you say that if I was Nie Chen, you would eat shit upside down?”

Wang Liu: “?”

Before he could react, Nie Chen’s foot suddenly kicked him.

“Whoosh!”

“Slap.”

“Glub glub glub…”

Wang Liu was kicked into the air, his head facing down, and he fell straight into the toilet.

“Ah! Rogue!”

“Glub glub glub…”

Only the sound of Wang Liu’s screams and the sound of him eating shit could be heard.

The toilet was in chaos, with chickens flying and dogs jumping, and the sound of shouting and screaming filled the air.

An old man’s sigh could be heard from a distance: “Alas, the world is changing, and people’s hearts are no longer as they once were! Nowadays, young people’s tastes are so unique. If you want to eat, just eat, why pretend to fall into the toilet? And now, the roof is broken…”

This kick had caused the already chaotic Wanping City to become even more turbulent.

…

Outside Wanping City, in the majestic deep mountains, Minister Cao suddenly stopped.

A moment later, sweat flowed down his forehead, and he hastily came to Shu Zi’an’s side, bowing respectfully: “Crown Prince, I just sensed that something might have happened in Wanping City. And it’s possible that Xiao Changlao has been killed.”

Shu Zi’an’s expression didn’t change, but his eyes were icy cold: “Oh? I didn’t expect someone to dare disrupt my plans, I wonder who this reckless person is.”

“Crown Prince, should we make arrangements to strengthen the defense, just in case? After all, the Transforming Sea Realm experts are still in the Imperial Court, and it will take some time for them to arrive.”

Minister Cao’s voice was laced with concern.

“No need, it’s just a small thief, do you think there are many people in this world who can move against me?”

Shu Zi’an seemed completely unbothered.

He closed his eyes, and a mysterious aura surrounded him once again.

His cultivation level rose rapidly, making him even more intimidating.

In just an instant, Shu Zi’an had grasped the concept of calmness.

At this moment, his heart was like a rock, and no one could shake his inner peace, except for Empress Qingyue, who had once smiled at him and shared a romantic moment with him.

“Qingyue, don’t worry, I’ll soon be able to go to the Heavenly Cloud Palace to marry you and give you a lifetime of happiness.”

Shu Zi’an sighed, and the mysterious aura spread rapidly around him.

At the same time, his cultivation level suddenly soared to the mid Opening Profound realm!

“Crown Prince, you’ve… you’ve comprehended again…”

Minister Cao was already at a loss for words.

When would he be able to stop saying these words?
