"Is this the Star Luo Imperial Capital?"

Before the resplendent city gates, Jiang Qianhai stopped and sighed in admiration.

Though the Heaven Dou Imperial City was also magnificent, that did not stop him from sighing over this place too.

Jiang Qianhai's voice was not loud, but he did not hide it either. When the passersby beside him heard it, proud smiles immediately appeared on their faces.

See that? This is our Imperial City!

Jiang Qianhai paid that person no mind. After all, he had come here to kill.

Earlier, he had taken Zhu Zhuqing straight to the Star Dou Great Forest. With his Dou Huang-level perception, finding the target was not difficult. It was a Ghost Leopard close to two thousand years old. After that came the battle between Zhu Zhuqing and the Ghost Leopard.

The battle went back and forth, and Zhu Zhuqing killed the Ghost Leopard at the cost of a few minor scratches.

That Ghost Leopard was no weaker than an ordinary Soul Elder, which showed Zhu Zhuqing's current strength.

The process of absorbing the Spirit Ring afterward went smoothly.

Once the spirit hunt was over, Zhu Zhuqing and Jiang Qianhai went to prepare their gift.

But he had not expected those people to actually make a move against his Parents. Fortunately, he had prepared in advance, and fortunately, he had obtained Compassionate Soul Salvation Descent.

And now, although he still did not have that kind of overwhelming, crushing strength, if he simply changed the way he thought about it, he was already a top-class assassin.

Zen Meditation Seal allowed him to enter all kinds of places as though they were unguarded, while Secret Art: Compassionate Soul Salvation Descent ensured that after Jiang Qianhai succeeded, he could swiftly leave the scene of the crime.

Though using Zen Meditation Seal again afterward was not impossible, the area Zen Meditation Seal could freeze was not large enough, so there was still a risk of exposure.

If he were exposed, perhaps he would only face trouble, but the people around him would be in danger.

Zhu Zhuqing, his own parents—he could not possibly keep them by his side forever, could he?

Even if he truly kept them within the range of his protection, how long could that last?

One could catch thieves for a thousand days, but who could guard against them for a thousand?

After entering the city, Jiang Qianhai behaved no differently from any passerby, while the prosperity within the city also came into view.

Most of the pedestrians on the road were dressed in fine clothing. Compared with Suotuo City, the streets here were more than twice as wide, and the buildings lining both sides occupied a much larger area as well.

It was obvious to the naked eye that the cost of living here far exceeded Suotuo City's.

In one word: expensive.

These sights flashed past his eyes in a hurry. Jiang Qianhai looked like an outside traveler drawn in by the prosperity, unfamiliar with this place and yearning for it.

There were plenty of people who looked like him, so he seemed ordinary enough.

Star Luo Imperial Palace.

Looking at a magnificent complex of buildings, Jiang Qianhai narrowed his eyes slightly, then placed both hands at his waist.

Zen Meditation Seal!

He stepped into the imperial palace.

His Dou Huang-level perception spread outward, and living beings took shape one after another in Jiang Qianhai's mind.

When he left the imperial palace again, Jiang Qianhai's brows had already knitted together.

"Not here?"

Zen Meditation Seal was released, and Jiang Qianhai walked away as if nothing had happened.

On the road, he fell into thought.

"If he isn't here, where would he be?"

"The Soul Master Academy, or the Zhu Family?"

"I'll check them one by one. If that still doesn't work, I'll wait at the imperial palace for the rabbit to run into the tree!"

A moment later, Jiang Qianhai made his decision.

Then a traveler blended into the crowd and moved toward the Zhu Family.

Star Luo Royal Academy

"Hell White Tiger!"

Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuyun moved in alternating rhythm, then charged toward each other. The instant they made contact, white light flashed, and a giant white tiger marked with purple patterns landed on the ground.

Roar!

The tiger's roar whipped up a wave of wind, and its might rushed straight at the man opposite it.

The next instant, the Hell White Tiger streaked forward in an afterimage, its massive paw slamming down toward the man.

The man smiled faintly, and the Spirit Ring beneath his feet flashed and vanished.

"Third Soul Skill, Thorns Protection!"

The next instant, countless thorn-covered brambles broke through the ground, forming an arc-shaped shield in front of the man.

Bang!

The Hell White Tiger's sharp claws slammed heavily into it. Ignoring the backlash, its tiger body exerted force, trying to press it down, but the man braced both hands against the thorn shield, his Soul Power surging before he shoved hard.

The Hell White Tiger was instantly sent flying backward. Then another thorn burst from the ground, stabbing straight at the Hell White Tiger like a spear.

"Ah!"

Two screams rang out. The Hell White Tiger instantly broke apart, and Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuyun both collapsed to the ground.

"Still... not enough."

"Your Highness, don't belittle yourself. Compared to yesterday, your progress is visible to the naked eye."

"Again."

Dai Weisi got up once more, but the man shook his head.

"My apologies, Your Highness. The emperor has summoned me. Today's training will end here for now."

Dai Weisi instantly deflated. After giving a salute, he chose to say goodbye.

On the road.

"I wonder why Father summoned the vice dean." Dai Weisi shook his head and sighed. "Today, our Hell White Tiger only lasted one more move against the vice dean. We're still too weak. Without the vice dean teaching us, let's go to the mimicry cultivation area next."

"All right."

The mimicry cultivation area.

The moment Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuyun stepped inside, they froze.

Because someone who should not have appeared here had appeared.

Someone who was even holding a travel brochure!

There shouldn't have been anyone else at this hour!

"Who are you!" Dai Weisi barked in a low voice. "Only students with qualifications can enter this place. Which class are you from? Why haven't I seen you before?"

"Do you know the consequences of trespassing into the mimicry cultivation area?"

"You're Dai Weisi?"

Jiang Qianhai looked at Dai Weisi's face, which bore some resemblance to Dai Mubai's, and nodded silently.

Finally found you!

"Answer my question!"

Ignored by Jiang Qianhai, Dai Weisi's expression immediately darkened.

"Mm, this feels right. Then you must be Zhu Zhuyun. Good, it's you two!"

Jiang Qianhai looked toward the woman whose aura somewhat resembled Zhu Zhuqing's, his eyes narrowing slightly.

So you're the ones who've been causing trouble for me all this time? Now you don't need to come looking for me. I came myself!

"Looks like I'll have to teach you what respect means!"

Being ignored again and again by Jiang Qianhai made Dai Weisi fly into a rage. Ever since he was born, no one had ever treated him like this.

"Third—"

Before Dai Weisi could use his soul skill, Jiang Qianhai clapped his hands, and time and space instantly froze.

Then Jiang Qianhai's figure flashed, arriving beside Dai Weisi.

"Three Thousand Burning Flame Fire!"

"That's for fucking touching my parents!"

Carrying Jiang Qianhai's fury, a fist wrapped in flames slammed straight into Dai Weisi's head.

As if a watermelon had burst apart, Dai Weisi's remains had yet to hit the ground before they were completely swallowed by purple flames.

Zhu Zhuyun had no idea what had happened at all. She only saw the man opposite clap his hands, then suddenly appear beside her, while Dai Weisi was instantly reduced to only two legs, still burning rapidly!

"Weisi!"

Zhu Zhuyun was overwhelmed with grief, but she saw nothing. She only felt her face being seized, her mouth completely unable to move, not a single sound able to escape.

At that moment, despair instantly filled her heart.

Why! Why is this person killing us!

"I originally didn't plan to deal with you this early, but you jumped around too much!"

The voice brimming with killing intent made Zhu Zhuyun seem to understand something. In that instant, she regretted it.

She regretted not getting rid of her younger sister's lover sooner!

So that now, he had really come to kill her!

The next moment, purple flames surged up.

Hot! So hot!

That was the final thought in her mind.

The purple flames burned out, and the entire process took no more than two seconds.

Jiang Qianhai wasted no time, quickly forming hand seals.

Midway through, he suddenly looked in one direction. There was someone with very high Soul Power heading this way.

"Reacted this fast?!"

He had only just killed them, and someone over there had arrived in an instant.

That reaction speed was far too abnormal!

However...

Jiang Qianhai let out a cold laugh.

"You're still too slow!"

Whoosh~

A flash of purple light passed, and only two piles of ash remained here.
