All nine Shattering Grade Martial Arts Manual are stored in the Ancestral Temple.

This place is also one of the safest places in the Great Yong Dynasty. It is not only heavily guarded by the Imperial Guard, but also has that Super First Grade expert stationed here.

According to the predictions of the previous emperors of Dayong, if one day an enemy were to actually invade this place, it would mean that the Great Yong Dynasty was about to perish.

The rebels have probably already captured the Royal Palace.

At this moment, Su Yuan stood alone outside the Ancestral Temple, with corpses piled up behind him.

Splash-

The Ancestral Temple gates slowly opened.

An old man walked out from inside.

It was that Super First Grade expert deep within the palace.

"Pavilion Master Wu."

The old man looked at Su Yuan with a complicated expression.

When he first heard about Su Yuan's infiltration of the Royal Palace, he wondered if there was some kind of conspiracy, so he didn't leave the Ancestral Temple.

This was to prevent himself from being lured away, and then someone else from sneaking into the Ancestral Temple to steal the Shattering Grade Martial Arts Manual.

However, as events unfolded, twelve Imperial Guard Commander died, and the numerous Imperial Guard within the Royal Palace were nearly breached. The once impregnable defenses of the Royal Palace were as thin as paper in front of Su Yuan.

An unbelievable idea popped into the old man's mind.

Pavilion Master Wu... he really intends to storm the Royal Palace alone.

He was also prepared to single-handedly storm the Royal Palace.

Su Yuan looked at the old man with a calm expression.

"What is the purpose of Pavilion Master Wu visit?"

The old man was silent for a moment before asking.

"Shattering Grade Martial Arts Manual." Su Yuan finally spoke.

"No problem."

"The Shattering Grade Martial Arts Manual of my Great Yong Dynasty is yours to take, Pavilion Master Wu."

The old man immediately spoke.

If Su Yuan were to reach the Ancestral Temple, he would already be severely injured.

The old man was prepared to take a desperate gamble and fight Su Yuan, hoping to at least maintain the dignity of the Great Yong Dynasty.

However, from the moment he entered the Royal Palace until now, no Imperial Guard has been able to withstand a single blow from Su Yuan, not even the twelve Imperial Guard Commander.

And from beginning to end, the old man did not notice any sign of Su Yuan's aura weakening.

Under these circumstances, the old man naturally wouldn't continue to attack Su Yuan.

How should we make our move?

Like the twelve Imperial Guard Commander, were they killed by Su Yuan with a single spear thrust?

Although the old man believed his strength far surpassed that of the twelve Imperial Guard Commander.

But he didn't think he could survive Su Yuan's spear. At most, he could outlast the twelve Imperial Guard Commander, perhaps even withstanding three or five spear thrusts.

But that's all.

If he is shot more than five times, he will surely die.

At that time, the Great Yong Dynasty will lose its Super First Grade expert, and chaos will inevitably ensue.

"OK."

Su Yuan nodded slightly.

He already knew about the old man's choice.

This is quite normal; not everyone would knowingly choose to die, and dying at Su Yuan's hands would be meaningless.

"I'd like to know, has Pavilion Master Wu's current strength surpassed that of Super First Grade?" the old man couldn't help but ask.

"More or less."

Su Yuan nodded slightly.

In the Shattering the Void World, the Combat Bonus of Super First Grade needs to reach 150 times, but now Su Yuan's Combat Bonus is close to 300 times, which is almost enough to surpass Super First Grade.

"That's really true."

The old man's eyes were silent, but he was extremely shocked.

In the Shattering the Void World, the strongest level is naturally the Shattering Grade. However, the Shattering Grade is the state at the moment of Shattering the Void, where one's body merges with heaven and earth and draws upon the power of heaven and earth to Shattering the Void.

In this state, it is impossible to remain there permanently, because one will immediately shatter and ascend to heaven.

Below the Shattering Grade, the strongest is the Super First Grade.

"You may all disperse."

The old man looked at the guards around him and waved his hand.

"Yes."

"Yes."

The numerous Imperial Guards, already trembling with fear, immediately dispersed and retreated upon receiving the old man's order.

"Pavilion Master Wu, please come in."

The old man stepped aside and looked at Su Yuan.

Without hesitation, Su Yuan strode into the ancestral Ancestral Temple.

"Pavilion Master Wu... aren't you afraid there might be an ambush inside the Ancestral Temple?" The old man was taken aback and couldn't help but ask.

It's easy to dodge a spear in the open, but hard to guard against an arrow in the dark.

Do you dare?

Su Yuan said.

In fact, Su Yuan had already known the layout of the Ancestral Temple through the Grey Mirror and knew that there was no ambush.

Su Yuan glanced at the old man.

With Su Yuan's strength, killing this strongest figure in the Great Yong Dynasty would not be difficult.

After all, the old man's Combat Bonus was only slightly over two hundred times, and facing Su Yuan, who was three hundred times stronger, even escaping was a luxury.

But there's no need for that.

With the death of the old man, the Great Yong Dynasty will inevitably descend into chaos.

The chaos of the world is a good thing for ordinary players, as they can take advantage of the confusion and gain benefits.

But what about Su Yuan? What about the Canglan Pavilion?

That's not a good thing.

Canglan Pavilion was already the most powerful player force in the Shattering the Void World.

Chaos will only cause Canglan Pavilion to lose control over various regions, and its power will decrease rather than increase.

As for going further—overthrowing the Great Yong Dynasty and establishing one's own dynasty?

It wasn't that Su Yuan didn't want to, but the authorities of the Shattering the Void World wouldn't allow such a thing to happen.

The essence of the Shattering the Void World is to guide the evolution of all human citizens of the empire, not to become resources for Su Yuan's evolution.

Therefore, the most powerful force in the Shattering the Void World must be the native inhabitants. Only the native inhabitants can treat every Empire Citizen equally.

Once Su Yuan decides to overthrow the rule of the Great Yong Dynasty, the entire Nine Provinces of the World, even the barbarian tribes and overseas regions, will unite to attack him.

This is also a restriction imposed by the Game Official on any Empire Citizen who wants to unify the Nine Provinces of the World.

That is precisely why.

The old man cannot die, or rather, the old man's death would not benefit Su Yuan but rather harm him.

"Currently, the strength of the Canglan Pavilion is already at the limit allowed by the authorities. Further improvement will invite retaliation from the Shattering the Void World."

Su Yuan thought to himself.

The so-called targeting of the Shattering the Void World is to increase the difficulty for the Canglan Pavilion members to obtain martial arts manuals, and to make the Great Yong Dynasty favor other player factions, etc.

In conclusion, the official team of the Shattering the Void World, and even the Canglan Galactic Human Empire, will absolutely not allow the Shattering the Void World to become the private domain of any player or faction.

It is Evolution World open to all citizens.

The Yangxin Hall.

"Damn it, why hasn't the army outside the Royal Capital entered the city to defend the king yet?"

Emperor of Dayong looked anxious. He had just received intelligence that Pavilion Master Wu was very close to the Ancestral Temple.

Once Pavilion Master Wu deals with his uncle, then the only one left to deal with will be himself.

Therefore, as soon as he learned of the deaths of the twelve Imperial Guard Commander, Emperor of Dayong did not hesitate to issue orders to the millions of troops outside the Royal Capital, allowing them to enter the city.

Millions of troops? Or a well-trained elite army?

Even if you pile up human lives, you can still kill that Pavilion Master Wu.

"Your Majesty, all four gates of the Royal Capital have been captured, and they are currently resisting the army's entry into the city," a member of the Imperial Guard immediately reported.

Damn it!

Emperor of Dayong grew increasingly anxious, "Quickly, quickly send men to regain control of the four city gates..."

"His Majesty."

At this moment, another Imperial Guard rushed in to report.

"What is it?"

Emperor of Dayong looked anxious and had never been so terrified before.

Since ascending to the throne, he has never faced such a severe life-or-death threat.

"Your Majesty, the Ancestor has ordered us to withdraw and personally escorted Pavilion Master Wu into the Ancestral Temple..." the Imperial Guard immediately reported.

"My great-uncle allowed Pavilion Master Wu to enter the Ancestral Temple..."

Upon hearing this, the Emperor of Dayong fell silent.

There's only one explanation for my uncle's behavior: he's backed down.

"So... so this is the best possible ending..." Emperor of Dayong sat down with a thud, muttering to himself.

The Ancestral Temple is serene and profound.

The killings from the outside world seem to have had no effect here.

Upon entering the Ancestral Temple, Su Yuan immediately saw the memorial tablets of past emperors placed in the very center.

"There..

Su Yuan shifted his gaze to the left.

There were nine wooden boxes there, arranged in a row.

"Shattering Grade Martial Arts Manual"

Guided by the Grey Mirror, Su Yuan naturally knew that the Shattering Grade Martial Arts Manual he wanted was inside the wooden box.

"Pavilion Master Wu, this is Shattering Grade Martial Arts Manual."

The old man walked over to the wooden box and explained in a low voice.

Faced with overwhelming power, the old man had no other thoughts and honestly handed over the true Shattering Grade Martial Arts Manual.

"Um."

Su Yuan walked to the wooden box and looked at the first book on the left.

Shattering Grade Martial Arts Manual has a five to ten times greater effect on comprehending the power of the universe than a superior martial arts manual.

In other words, even among Shattering Grade Martial Arts Manual, there are differences in quality. The Shattering Grade Martial Arts Manual that the Former Pavilion Master of Canglan studied was the worst one, with a study effect only five times that of a superior martial arts manual.

The Shattering Grade Martial Arts Manual that Su Yuan has chosen is naturally the most effective one.

After obtaining the desired Shattering Grade Martial Arts Manual, Su Yuan looked at the other eight Shattering Grade Martial Arts Manual.

However, the game prompts you that you can only choose one book.

This is also a restriction imposed by the Game Official on Empire Citizen: any player can only obtain and comprehend one Shattering Grade Martial Arts Manual.

Call!

Su Yuan withdrew his gaze and looked at the Shattering Grade Martial Arts Manual in his hand.

"Unable to comprehend under the Red-Level Wanted Order status..."

Su Primordial Spirit was knowing.

In fact, once someone is on the wanted list of the Great Yong Dynasty Empire Citizen, not only are they unable to learn martial arts manuals, but they are also prohibited from trading and opening their inventory.

Want to remove the wanted poster? You'll have to die and re-enter the game.

The Former Pavilion Master of Canglan escaped the wanted list by committing suicide, and finally successfully comprehended the Shattering Grade Martial Arts Manual.

This method is currently the only way for Empire Citizen players to get rid of the wanted poster.

Of course, Su Yuan knew of other ways to get rid of the effects of the arrest warrant.

The wanted notice was issued by the Great Yong Dynasty, so the only way to get off the wanted list is to die. If a wanted player dies, he will naturally be removed from the wanted list.

The second method is to persuade the Great Yong Dynasty to voluntarily drop the warrant for the arrest.

"Tell the Emperor of Dayong to drop the warrant for my arrest." Su Yuan glanced at the old man standing beside him and said, "Yes." The old man nodded immediately.

At this point, the so-called arrest warrant is nothing but a joke in Su Yuan's eyes.
