The Journey of Overthrowing the Celestial Emperor
Ch. 200 ~ Shang II Kingdom

Zhang Ziyi, Zhang Zhili, Zhang Bie, Zhang Meng, Zhang Yin, Shui Shan as well as Shui Bing walked into the central city of the Shang kingdom. So broad and crowded. Many fine and luxurious buildings are built here. Here too they can see floating islands with on them built houses.

"I wonder how the people who live in the outer region of the city. In the remote corners of the village, would they be this calm?" zhang Ziyi suddenly muttered.

"Looks not! Peace and beauty can only be enjoyed when you are in a central city like this one. But behind it all there are people who suffer!" Zhang Zhili replied to Zhang Ziyi's mutter.

"Hmm, teacher is right! Not everything we see is good, having good things with it. The territory of the Shang kingdom is so vast, even though the Kingdom can oversee all the movements and conditions of its people, but it does not rule out the possibility that they will turn a blind eye to small citizens. Given how the kingdom's influence is in politics, they won't have time to just take care of the citizens."

"I'm sure, they have many treasures that would be of royal concern, while those without treasures would only be complete items," Shui Shan also said.

They continued walking. Tracing the streets of a crowded city will people pass by.

***

A day had passed since that incident, now the gatekeepers were back on guard as usual. Expel those who are considered mediocre who want to enter the central city. In order to enter this city alone Zhang Ziyi previously had to take out two gold coins. Because the value is not playful, then not just anyone who can enter the central city.

Right at night, the guards resumed their actions. Sometimes there will be laughter from them. Drunk while watching a comfort woman. A bonfire was lit on the edge of the gate, surrounded by several guard soldiers.

But it did not last long when suddenly came some people who came immediately do riot. The panic came, some of the people who had previously sat down to enjoy the dance performance of the female entertainer immediately stood up.

But, close from me pulled a weapon to fight the rioters earlier. Instead just fall silent while focusing the person's attention.

"Why not catch him!" he said with a high tone. He directly kicked the Commander of the guard force at the gate.

"A–ampun Sir! Not that I tid—" not even the commander finished his words, he immediately stopped when he found a voice cutting him.

"He's just looking for excuses. I will hold him and bring him to the king, but the Commander will immediately stop me! Just punish him, or lower his rank!" said the guard who had detained Zhang Ziyi and his comrades a day ago. He himself tried to provoke the person who had just come.

The commander stared at the guard. "How dare you speak! Sia—!" The Commander's words came to a halt as a loud crack sounded like thunder blaring in his ears.

"Shut up! I didn't tell you to talk... What the guard said was true! You're not worthy to be a commander. From today your position will be replaced by her!" His decision cannot be challenged.

On the other hand, the Commander put on a bad face, inversely proportional to the guard who even put on a cynical face full of provocation.

"Thank you–thank you! I will do this job very well!" said guard.

The man then passed from there. Intending to the palace to report on the whereabouts of the fugitives of the Sky Empire who were currently wandering around the central city.

***

Zhang Ziyi and his comrades were currently in an inn. However, there was no Zhang Zhili with them.

Tonight they decided to stay at this inn, because the day had also come to night, while there were many inns that they had been through. Because every inn, there are only people who or groups who are in conflict. Zhang Zhili invited them to leave the inn because they did not want to get into trouble too far.

They could have been targeted by two people or groups that are at odds. That is why they choose to avoid rather than engage further.

"Sister Ziyi, are you able to teach us about fighting with the spirit controllers. How can you kill them with just one slash, while we, even to fight one controller, are already overwhelmed?" ask Zhang Meng.

"Hmm," Zhang Ziyi seemed to think for a moment before replying to Zhang Meng's words. "It actually depends on the sword intent as well as the ability in comprehending the sword itself. Fused, with a speed of motion that is not approximate. So that it can kill in time relatively quickly, also the opponent cannot predict our existence."

Zhang Lan nodded his head. And so did five others.

"Lately, I rarely train my speed. Just by relying on the Qi energy to speed up the pace," Zhang Lan said.

"The reasons for the increased speed of motion are the first to use Qi energy. The second element has elements related to the speed of motion. The third is to have high strength. All I know is that!" shui Shan said.

Zhang Ziyi nodded, confirming what Shui Shan said earlier.

Talking for five minutes, they stopped the conversation when they saw Zhang Zhili coming. The bad face was shown by Zhang Zhili. There seems to be bad news that he has. Indeed, since Zhang Zhili was not with them earlier, it was because he was looking for information outside.

Zhang Zhili had stopped right before the seven of them.

"It's nasty! Soon we must leave this kingdom. We have now become fugitives of the Celestial Empire and after being in the kingdom that incidentally under the auspices of the Celestial Emperor, of course they will not just stay silent and will look for us anyway. Moreover, we are now in the kingdom of the Sang," Zhang Zhili said with a solemn expression.

Zhang Ziyi as well as the others were small intruders. They also understand the current situation.

"Then let's get out of here before they come and get us!" Zhang Lan made a sound.

"You're right, afraid they'll also wait until they find out where we are today."

"UM," agreed to leave the inn immediately.

Zhang Meng walked over first and was intending to improve the door of the inn.

Kreeks!

The first time looking back at the door, several people in full uniform had stood up with resolute and sharp gazes towards Zhang Meng.

"What the fuck? Why is it so fast, and why don't I feel their existence!?" zhang Lan's.

The few people then entered the room space, surrounding Zhang Ziyi and the others then directing the merchant Zhang Ziyi as well as his comrades.

"Hahaha, where are you going little brother!" A man came forward. This man himself had a different look from the other soldiers, signifying that this man had a higher rank than the other soldiers.

The eight people who were currently surrounded by those soldiers did not just take action. Mistakes can be even worse.

Zhang Ziyi measured the cultivation of these soldiers. They mostly had cultivation in the Universe realm. While for the man who just entered earlier had the cultivation of the Immortal God realm.

Zhang Ziyi was then brought to the palace, along with Zhang Zhili and his comrades. Along the way to the palace, many people gathered just to watch the people who were in the car. Whispers also sounded very noisy from the mouths of those people.

The carriage that Zhang Ziyi and his comrades were riding on entered the palace gate. Seeing the splendor within the palace courtyard, they were not shocked and not too surprised. Because the palace is very magnificent like this Shang Kingdom they have met. Whether it was in Zhang Ziyi's Soul realm, or in Gou Liang's ancient artificial world.

They were demanded to go to the throne hall. Entering the Hall, countless pairs of gazes stared at those eight people. Yet not the slightest bit of Zhang Ziyi, as well as the others were bothered with it.

"Your Majesty, we have found them!" The man who had different clothes from those soldiers came forward and saluted. He reported what he got this time.

King Shang did not answer directly. He watched Zhang Ziyi with squinted eyes. The aura emanating from his body was so authoritative and powerful charisma. Anyone who looks at it will feel depressed.

But this was not the case for Zhang Ziyi. The Shang King squinted increasingly, trying to suppress Zhang Ziyi with his charisma. However, instead of being afraid, Zhang Ziyi even stared intently at King Shang.

There was an instantaneous eye-to-eye. Afterwards, King Shang turned his attention to the

another place. Paying attention to Zhang Lan then Zhang Zhili and the other five people in turn.

Those who were looked at by the Shang King felt different. Although not too depressed, but it managed to make them feel worried.

"Lately, the Upper realms are in an uproar over a masked youth and have golden eyes. His successful action in having the acknowledgement of the Heavenly Demon Spirit, also became the main character in the battle between spirit controllers in the Silent Land..." King Shang stopped his words for a moment. Then looked intently at Zhang Ziyi. "Is that you?"

Zhang Ziyi did not immediately reply. He returned back to return the gaze and pressure that King Shang had placed on him.

The two stared at each other for a few seconds. And in that second, the atmosphere was still. Those who were in that place could feel a huge pressure pressing down on them. The pressure coming out from the bodies of the two people was none other than King Shang and Zhang Ziyi.

"Currently, my guess is correct. Also my troops are not wrong in arresting people. Seeing the courage you showed earlier, it was clear that you were indeed that person... And well, I can't wait to take you to the Celestial Emperor and see what he'll do in his– when he sees the person who snatched the confession from the Heavenly Demon Spirit." King Shang said with a smile full of provocation.

Hearing that, Zhang Ziyi's palm clenched violently. I don't know why he was so dislikeful when this man mentioned the name of the Celestial Emperor.

"You don't have to take me there. I'll come alone! But open it now's time."
