Most people only knew of the five Cultivation Realms: Human Elent, Profound Essence, Spiritual Elent, Earth Elent, and Celestial Essence. However, these constituted rely the Mortal Realm. Above them lay the Extraordinary Realm.
The first stage of the Extraordinary Realm was the Sky-Controlling Realm, where one could manipulate the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi for their own use.
Mortal strength has its limits, but the Power of Heaven and Earth is infinite!
The Sky-Controlling Realm is divided into Initial Rank, Middle Rank, High Rank, and Great Perfection.
Figures like Wang Mingxiu and Ghost Face were Martial Artists at the Sky-Controlling Initial Rank. The Wang Family’s old ancestor, however, had broken through to the Sky-Controlling Realm ten years ago and had been in seclusion ever since. Aside from a select few, most speculated his Cultivation was at least at the Sky-Controlling Middle Rank.
When that gigantic Fla Palm Seal, which seed to connect heaven and earth, appeared, the many powerful experts of the Imperial Capital watching from the shadows shuddered inwardly. An Elder from the Xiao Family remarked, "The Wang Family’s old ancestor has made his move. With power like this, he must be at the Peak Realm of the Sky-Controlling Middle Rank, at least."
The Su Family Elder nodded. "It seems those ten years weren’t wasted after all!"
Gazing at the inescapable giant palm, a look of horror appeared on Ghost Face’s face.
"HAAH..."
At this critical mont, Ghost Face used every trick he had. The black qi around his body boiled with unprecedented intensity. Ghostly figures shrieked and suddenly converged, forming a massive skull that radiated a sinister, ghostly aura.
Even so, it was useless against the giant fla hand. The mont they made contact, the skull let out a mournful cry as clumps of black qi disintegrated. Seeing this, a bloody light shone from Ghost Face’s eyes.
"ARGH! Hundred Ghosts Devouring the Soul!"
Ghost Face roared as countless wraiths shot out from his body. With each one that erged, his aura weakened. Dozens of crimson wraiths, distinct from the others, soared into the sky and rged with the giant skull.
The skull shrieked, its black qi stained by a layer of blood. Its power surged by more than tenfold before it violently exploded. The entire sky flashed with a brilliant, fiery red light, illuminating the whole Imperial Capital as if it were dayti.
A massive shockwave swept through the high-altitude clouds, creating a cloudless patch of sky.
Having used his Secret Skill, Ghost Face now exuded an air of exhaustion. Without a mont’s hesitation, he used the last of his strength to transform into a streak of Flowing Light and flee into the distance. The other assassins, seeing that the situation had turned sour, also began to retreat.
"Haha, Wang Gang, farewell!"
Blade Demon was covered in burns, and the one-ard Elder not far away was in no better shape. His robes were tattered and covered in bloody gashes from a blade.
Watching Blade Demon flee, the one-ard Elder was powerless to stop him, much to his frustration.
Elsewhere, the youth with the Evil Qi aura, longsword in hand, slew a Wang Family Elder of the Earth Elent Realm with a single strike. He smiled with a wicked charm. ’The Wang Family’s old ancestor has made his move. This ga is over. Better retreat quickly.’
As a Palm Seal lunged at him, Sword Evil broke through the air with his sword and used the montum to retreat.
...
"All mbers of the Wang Family, hear my command! Slay every last one of these invaders!"
The ancient but ruthlessly domineering voice spread throughout the entire Wang Family estate. Wang Mingxiu, who was in the air, heard the command and instantly dove down. With two quick slashes, he took the heads of two Black Market Killers. "Disciples of the Wang Family, kill them all!"
With an Extraordinary Strong Person like Wang Mingxiu joining the fray, the Black Market Killers had almost no power to resist and could only flee. Although Wang Mingxiu was powerful, he was still just one man and couldn’t stop all the assassins from escaping.
After slaying dozens of Black Market Killers, he no longer had the strength to pursue the rest.
Under the moonlight, corpses littered the ground, a large portion of them headless. Wang Mingxiu knew these were the disciples of the Wang Family, beheaded by the Black Market Killers. This had always been their signature style.
’Wang Mingxiu’s heart was bleeding!’
’Most of these people were the future of the family!’
’To think they would die here like this, at the hands of Black Market Killers.’
"Qin Ya!!" Wang Mingxiu ground his teeth, a look of ultimate, venomous hatred flashing in his eyes. He knew Qin Ya was behind all of this!
...
Seeing that the battle had subsided, the various onlookers hidden in the shadows departed one by one. They knew that tomorrow, the Imperial Capital would not be the sa.
They knew even more that the young man nad Qin Ya would now have to be taken seriously by all the great Noble Families of the Imperial Capital. To have caused such a great loss to a prestigious family like the Wang Family with just a single kill order—this level of capability was shocking to them all.
’This was the kind of person you should never cross if you could help it.’
「Mingxin Academy, outside Ningxiang Pavilion.」
Qin Ya gazed at the roaring flas in the distance, a cold, sharp glint in his eyes. ’Wang Family, you see? This is what I have prepared for you.’
"Brother Qin, is sothing happening over there?"
Just then, Leng Ningshuang slowly walked over. Qin Ya smiled faintly. "Ningshuang, you’re so perceptive. That’s right. A pack of jackals, so desperate for food they’d risk their lives, is besieging a tiger. Isn’t that interesting?"
"Huh?! What do you an?" Leng Ningshuang asked, confused.
"Never mind, you don’t need to understand." Qin Ya gave a faint smile and patted Leng Ningshuang’s little head. "It’s getting late. Shouldn’t you be getting so rest?"
Leng Ningshuang pouted, saying with so dissatisfaction, "Brother Qin, do you think I’m stupid? You won’t even tell what’s going on."
"How could I? Ningshuang is very smart." Qin Ya laughed, then looked off into the distance. "It’s just that so things are better left unknown."
Qin Ya knew that because of his one kill order, many people would die horribly tonight. But he had no regrets. So actions have consequences. Since the Wang Family dared to hire assassins to kill, they had to bear the repercussions.
「The next morning...」
News of last night’s battle had spread throughout the entire Imperial Capital.
A battle of that magnitude had been noticed from far and wide; it was impossible to conceal. As a result, the entire Imperial Capital was in an uproar.
There were many Martial Arts Families in the Imperial Capital, but only a few could be called prestigious, First-Class Noble Families. These families all had one thing in common: they were presided over by an Extraordinary Level expert. The Wang Family was one of them.
And just last night, this prestigious family of the Imperial Capital had been attacked at their own doorstep by a group of Black Market Killers. Countless disciples had been brutally killed, ultimately forcing the Wang Family’s old ancestor to personally intervene.
This explosive news spread through every street and alley of the Imperial Capital in less than half a day. Restaurants, inns, tea stalls... wherever people gathered, nearly everyone was discussing this matter.
On the second floor of a Restaurant, a group of Martial Artists were gathered...
"You guys have no idea. Yesterday, when I got up to relieve myself, a black figure flashed right past . Not long after, I heard the sounds of battle coming from the Wang Family’s direction, and a towering inferno lit up the whole sky."
A short, stout middle-aged man said with a smug look, sipping his wine, "I’ve got bragging rights for life now. I’m a man who’s seen so serious action; I’ve co face-to-face with a Black Market Killer."
"Give a break. A guy like you would be lucky not to piss his pants if you ran into a Black Market Killer," a middle-aged man in white robes said with an amused laugh.
"Hehe, who do you all think the Wang Family pissed off to have so many assassins sent after them? Good heavens, that’s terrifying."
