Baijin City.
Zhang Yu, Zhang Lao, and Xin Wang had just arrived at Baijin City. The Great City that became the Capital of the Qing Empire. It has over ten million inhabitants, placing Baijin City as the most densely populated place in the South Continent region.
“Master, we still have two days before the two elders of the thousand-sword sect pick us up at the Imperial palace,” Xin Wang said.
“With two days remaining, it is more than enough to circle this city. Even so, at least I also want to stay at a palace famous for its splendor,” Zhang Yu replied with an eye-opening look at the grandeur of the Qing Imperial Palace, which was in the center of Baijin City.
Hearing his master's wish, Xin Wang began to imagine how comfortable it was to be in the palace, even if it had only happened once in his entire life. As for Zhang Lao, his feelings were uneasy upon seeing the grandeur of the Qing Empire's palace. ‘May I never see that woman again’ he said inwardly.
[Master, detected the presence of demonic beasts in the forest north of the city. With a power in the realm of a first-rate Emperor, there would be no one who could defeat him other than Master, and Zhang Lao. Their number was ten, and they were currently silent in the forest territory, as if waiting for orders.]
Knowing the whereabouts of the demonic beasts around Baijin City, Zhang Yu knew who had brought them, and whose orders they were waiting for. He decided to go alone to the forest where the demonic beasts were hiding, while Xin Wang and Zhang Lao, they had the task of finding an inn to spend the night.
Looking at the high wall in the northern part of the city, with one high jump Zhang Yu managed to jump over it, and he immediately shot towards the forest.
Following the trail of demonic aura belonging to the demonic beast that made him nauseous, he was finally able to see the cave filled with demonic aura.
Grrr...
There was a growling sound from inside the cave, and it was not from a single figure. “They have welcomed my arrival,” he said when he saw the form of a black snake with red lines on his body, one by one began to come out through the mouth of the cave.
With a length of over twenty meters, their size really intimidated his opponent, but that was not the case with Zhang Yu who instead saw their existence as a source of strength, and wealth.
Seeing three out of ten snakes lunging forward attacking him, Zhang Yu easily dodged their entire attack. “Only a level one Emperor realm demon beast, dare to attack me who is much stronger than you guys!” zhang Yu said, then he kicked the three heads of the snake that attacked him.
BOOM... BOOM... BOOM...
Three giant-sized snakes bounced far away. Although not immediately dead, severe injuries to the head had made the three lose consciousness, and left seven snakes with sharp eyes staring at Zhang Yu's figure.
“You want to be the same fate as them? If you want, you can directly attack me, but this time I will directly bring you together with the God of Death,” Zhang Yu said with a smile of disdain for his opponent.
The remaining seven snakes simultaneously attacked Zhang Yu, who remained calm in the face of the consecutive attacks from them. “Big bodies just slow down your movement. Strength in the Emperor realm, but speed is no faster than the Transformation realm.”
“Gaming time is up. It is time I exterminate you from this world!” A white ball of lightning emerged from Zhang Yu's fingertips, and shot towards his opponent.
The ball of lightning that was originally only the size of a hand, suddenly grew, and continued to grow until its size turned into a giant ball of lightning.
BOOMMMMMMM...
The ball of lightning exploded, and destroyed anything that was within the range of its blast area. The seven snakes that were right at the source of the explosion, they had died leaving behind a body that Zhang Lao could consume.
A smile was seen on Zhang Yu's face. “Half of my spiritual energy can kill them very easily,” he said while inserting the body of a dead snake.
While the three snakes were only fainting, he asked for a system to enter them into a special room that could accommodate living beings.
[The Mr. system coin cut 10 million to buy a small world that living things can live in.]
Three snake bodies disappeared from its place. Zhang Yu was actually curious about the small world he had just bought from the system shop, but he was going to go to that place after his affairs in the Qing Empire were done.
“Time to meet their master,” murmured, then he darted back to Baijin City.

The Qing Imperial Palace.
After finding Zhang Lao and Xin Wang, Zhang Yu immediately went to the palace of the Qing Empire. A General who had been to the border with Emperor Qing Cheng, respectfully welcomed his arrival, once he reached the palace gate.
“The Crown Prince of the Wei Empire came to mend the relations of the two Empires, and he applied for a proposal for Qing Yue's daughter, as a sign of her seriousness.” Zhang Yu could hardly help but laugh upon hearing that.
“Then, did Emperor Qing Cheng accept that person's intentions? Let's just hope he doesn't accept the proposal,” Zhang Yu said as he showed a smile, which frightened the General beside him when he saw his smile.
After taking a deep breath and winning himself over, he said to Zhang Yu. “Your Majesty did not give an answer, but gave it all to Qing Yue's daughter. Next I do not know what happened, because I had to exchange time on guard with other Generals.”
Zhang Yu who heard that nodded. “Antar me to their meeting place, and don't announce my arrival. I want to see what answer Qing Yue's daughter gave me, and that person's reaction after hearing the answer from her,” Zhang Yu said.
“I will deliver Mr.” The general directed Zhang Yu towards the meeting hall. ‘May the princess give an answer that does not offend mr. moses’ she said inwardly.
Zhang Yu while holding Zhang Lao, continued to follow the General who was pointing the way, while Xin Wang tailed behind them.
It didn't take long, they had arrived at the door leading to the meeting hall. But just as the two soldiers on guard wanted to open the door, Zhang Yu held them back, and asked them to remain silent in place.
Faintly those outside heard a voice from inside the hall.
While inside the meeting hall, Wei Lian smiled looking at the figure of Qing Yue whose half face was covered in a white veil, matching the color of her clothes.
“Sorry Crown Prince, without prejudice to respect, I reject any more relationship between us than friendship.” Qing Yue rejected Wei Lian's proposal.
The smile on the young man's face disappeared, after hearing Qing Yue's reply. “Does princess already have a lover? Didn't your daughter ever like me?” abugn.
Qing Yue frowned hearing that. “Sorry Crown Prince, I don't feel like you just yet or right now. As I recall we were just ordinary friends and not that close. If my lover does not have it, but I have someone who has stolen my attention, and sorry I still have business so can not be too long in this place.” Qing Yue got up from her seat, and intended to leave.
However, before he left, Wei Lian suddenly kicked the table in front of him, making him stop, then turning her gaze on the figure of the man who was beginning to show his true nature.
“I don't want to go back empty-handed, and who says you can reject my proposal? Princess Qing Yue, in the north of Baijin City are ten Emperor realm demon beasts, who can at times destroy this Empire, but they will never touch the Qing Empire as long as you accept my proposal, she said,” Wei Lian said with a sly smile on her face.
“I didn't expect you to be as sneaky as your Dad!” yelled Emperor Qing Cheng got up from his seat.
Wei Lian still showed her smile. “Dad-in-law take it easy, as long as Qing Yue's daughter accepts me, nothing will happen with this Empire.”
Emperor Qing Cheng moved his teeth. He couldn't force his daughter's decision, but he couldn't ignore the safety of the residents of Baijin City either.
Qing Yue knew what her father was thinking, but she really did not want to be the companion of a scheming man like Wei Lian.
“What is confusing you? Not that you just reject him, and let him do what he wants, but that too if there is still something he can do.” Zhang Yu suddenly appeared, and directly hugged Qing Yue's slender waist, infuriating Wei Lian who was looking at him.
Qing Yue's face reddened to find Zhang Yu's figure that had wrapped his hands around her waist. “A..
Zhang Yu smiled hearing that. As for Wei Lian, she got up from her seat, and used a summoning technique to summon the demonic beast she had prepared.
“Look, there is a fool who tried to call for reinforcements, but unfortunately the one he called out will not come alive,” Zhang Yu said along with the opening of the hall door, and Zhang Lao entered with his true form while biting the tip of the two snakes he dragged into the hall.
Wei Lian's eyes opened wide looking at the snake figure that Zhang Lao had dragged along.
“Ba... Ba... How could they lose?” Wei Luan's body trembled with cold sweat starting to wet her face. Both of his eyes glanced at Zhang Yu who was showing a sinister smile for him.
“They are very weak playmates, even dead with one strike,” he said casually, and ignored the people who were still surprised by the figure of two giant snakes, but not a few people were more surprised by Zhang Lao's whereabouts.
