C666 The New King of the Country

Once again, fate seemed to be napping, as the Black Ball Martial King's plan unfolded smoothly. His master was poisoned and subsequently killed by him. His sister-in-law also met her end. However, the woman he once adored no longer held any significance for him. He took over more of his master's wives and concubines, marking the start of his debauched journey. Scene after scene, his actions were so disgraceful that Woo Zhengyang watched in burning anger, wishing he could end the Black Ball Martial King's wicked life immediately.

Yet, Zhengyang hadn't forgotten his mission. He suppressed his fury and continued to delve into the Black Ball Martial King's memories. Images flashed by rapidly, showing the Black Ball Martial King's rise to the rank of a grandmaster and his subsequent coronation as a Martial King, leading to an even more decadent lifestyle.

Finally, Zhengyang found what intrigued him—the origin of the so-called soul poison. Although this wasn't urgent, he carefully reviewed those memories and continued to sift through them. He eventually reached scenes from a few months ago.

The Black Ball Martial King was invited by Liao Qinghua to Bright Sun City, where he subdued Lau Qinghan and Lau Ruyan, bringing them to Hibernation Dragon City. However, this was merely a diversion. To ensure safety, Liao Qinghua had secretly sent Lau Qinghan and Lau Ruyan to the Heavenly Martial Sect.

The situation was far from over. Lau Qinghan had gathered more than just one ally; besides the Black Ball Martial King, several other Martial King experts had joined, including a top-tier expert. Recently, they had been rallying more Martial Kings, aiming to break through the mountain-protecting array of the Profound Heaven Sect. They had even attempted it a few days ago but failed.

Liao Qinghua and his group were not ready to give up. The Profound Heaven Sect had been holed up for too long, and they feared unexpected changes. This time, they were determined to break the array. If they couldn't do it by skill, they would do it by force, so they went to gather more people.

The Black Ball Martial King's disgraceful life finally came to an end. Woo Zhengyang, not bothering to kill him, used his Soul Energy to attack the Black Ball Martial King's soul vortex...

When Woo Zhengyang opened the palace doors and stepped out, the first thing he saw was the commander who had fled earlier. This commander wasn't the bravest, but he was efficient, which was likely why he held his position. After Woo Zhengyang went inside, the commander waited at the door, listening to the commotion, planning to show his usefulness once the fight was over by escorting Woo Zhengyang.

However, he never expected that when the doors opened, Woo Zhengyang would walk out so openly.

"You... you..." he stammered, unable to continue as he passed through the gate and took in the scene inside.

If he hadn't shown up, Woo Zhengyang wouldn't have bothered to look for him. But since he was right there, Woo Zhengyang dealt with him swiftly.

Woo Zhengyang then drew the No Life Sword and slashed toward the palace ahead.

"Boom..."

The palace collapsed with a thunderous crash, echoing throughout the city. Soon after, several figures darted over...

...

Like many large businesses, the Yongxing Trading Company had a storefront in the front and a residence in the back.

In an opulent hall, the man with the hooked nose, the current head of the Ouyang family, listened with a dark expression as a steward reported.

"What? The people you were supposed to bring are missing? And you don't even know when they disappeared? Are you joking with me?"

"Master, I really have no idea what happened. I definitely put them in the carriage, and nothing seemed unusual along the way! It must have been Woo Zhengyang. Only Woo Zhengyang had access to the carriage; he must have done something without us knowing!"

"Woo Zhengyang? Hmph, he's probably already been captured by the lord by now!"

"Yes, yes, he must have been captured. When the time comes, you'll be rewarded for reporting this, and it should be easy for the lord to help find those two brats," the steward quickly flattered.

"Are you reminding me that the news about Woo Zhengyang came from you?"

"No, no, I wouldn't dare. It's all thanks to the master's wisdom... uh... master, you..." The steward hadn't finished speaking when he felt a sword pierce through his chest.

"You're a useless fool who only messes things up. How dare you try to take credit? But you did remind me that if the reward from the king ends up being yours, what would I do? So, it's better if you just die now!"

With that, the hook-nosed man pulled out the sword and stored it in his Hidden Heaven Bag, then kicked the steward's body aside.

This scene was witnessed by another steward who had just walked in. Startled, he nearly stumbled to the ground.

"What happened? Why are you in such a rush? Have you found those two brats?"

"No... no, we haven't found them!"

"Have you or haven't you?"

"We haven't found them, but they've come back."

"They came back on their own? Are they out of their minds?"

"It's not just them; there's someone else."

"Someone else? Did they find help? Do you know who it is?"

"Woo... Woo Zhengyang..."

"Woo Zhengyang? That's impossible!"

"Why is it impossible?"

Another voice suddenly chimed in as several figures approached. Leading them was Woo Zhengyang, flanked by Xiaoxuan and Xiaoou.

"You... how are you... weren't you supposed to be in the capital?" The hook-nosed man was visibly nervous.

"I went and came back!"

"No way, no way, how could you come back after going in..."

"Why couldn't I come back? I was just dropping them off at home."

"Scoundrel, you dare not show respect when meeting the leader?" someone suddenly scolded.

The man with the hooked nose jumped in surprise, confused. "Leader?"

"Sun Yu was a tyrant, oppressing the people, and deserved his fate. Now, a new leader has been chosen, and the inauguration ceremony will be held soon!"

"A new leader... you actually killed the leader..." The man with the hooked nose was in shock, unable to comprehend how all this had happened.

But soon, he realized the truth of the situation.

The person who had reprimanded him was an elderly man with a stern face, who had been following behind Woo Zhengyang and his companions.

The man with the hooked nose didn't know this elder, but there were several other figures standing there as well.

Among them was someone he recognized, one of the esteemed members of Dongjue Country, whom he had once treated to a lavish meal!

And another person, both in stature and appearance, closely resembled the legendary great figure of Dongjue Country...
