【Episode 6: Yizhou Offense and Defense】Chapter 1: Swift Horse Calls for Reinforcements

Heh, aren't these the "Three-Handed" brothers, known for their ability to kill gods and Buddhas alike? Since the remaining three are "Three-Handed," I feel even more at ease. These three guys who only know how to run away are certainly no obstacle!

"It's you!" Zhong Laosan recognized me immediately, his ruddy face turning extremely ugly.

At his prompting, his two older brothers also turned pale.

"Don't panic, everyone. This time it's the same as before. If you three do what Zhong Laosan did, dislocate your arms, and crawl between my legs like dogs, I promise to spare your lives."

I plopped down in the chair opposite them, while the four of them had already retreated, standing together, gathering all their strength, ready for a desperate fight.

"You..." Fu Renhe tried to rush forward, but was grabbed by Zhong Laoda. "Brother Fu, you're no match for him. Don't go and die!"

Seeing Fu Renhe's disbelieving expression, Zhong Laosan added calmly, "Even if you were alone, or even if we all joined forces, we still wouldn't be a match for him." "

What?" Although Fu Renhe knew from the expressions of the three men that my martial arts were extraordinary, he didn't expect me to be so terrifyingly powerful. Even the renowned top assassin of the Zhennan Prince's Mansion admitted he was no match for me!

Just how high is this person's martial arts?

Considering his young age, how did he cultivate such terrifying martial arts?

Although he was puzzled, Fu Renhe believed what "Three Hands" said. He retreated to his original position, but even more cautiously raised his power to its maximum.

I pointed at the "Three Hands" and said, "Heh, you're quite sensible. How about this, you all submit to my Yuwen family. Following the Prince of Zhennan, how can you compare to the power of my Prince Tang?"

Suddenly, I changed my mind. I decided to only kill Fu Renhe tonight. As for the "Three Hands," I'd severely injure them and then let them escape. Wouldn't it be more interesting for them to go back and report the situation to the Prince of Zhennan?

"Bullshit!" Fu Renhe was already hot-tempered, and now that he knew the person in front of him was actually the Fu family's mortal enemy—a member of the Yuwen family—he couldn't contain his anger.

He stepped forward, unleashing a powerful "Vajra Breaking Demon" palm strike aimed at my chest acupoint. For some reason, this time the "Three Hands" didn't stop him, letting his iron palm approach me.

I remained calm and waited until his attacks were at their most ferocious. Then, with a swift and decisive strike, I extended my left palm, catching both of his iron palms without hesitation. The blow struck first, sending him crashing into a corner of the room, vomiting blood, unable to rise again.

The next moment, his face turned a deep green, and he stopped breathing.

"How was it?" I asked casually, as if I'd just swatted a mosquito. "My 'Jade-Severing Technique' is pretty proficient, isn't it?"

"If we join the Yuwen family, can't we obtain the same 'Elder of the Offering Hall' position as Yuwen Changxiu?" Zhong Laosan asked, forcing himself to remain calm.

"Yuwen Changxiu?" I sneered inwardly, casually replying, "The Yuwen family doesn't have such a person. You must be referring to Yuwen Changjiu of the Han family, right? However, last year Yuwen Changjiu committed a serious crime and was imprisoned by the family head, no longer serving as Elder of the Offering Hall. If the three of you join my Yuwen family, I can, on behalf of the family head, arrange for you to enter the Offering Hall."

Trying to trap me? "You think my studies in the palace were all a charade?! I know everything about the Yuwen family, from top to bottom, and even that you, Zhong Laosan, have a penchant for torturing twelve-year-old beauties."

The correct answer made the "Three Hands" nod to each other. Zhong Laosan, feigning realization, apologized, "Oh, I misremembered, I'm sorry!" Before his false words could even finish, a flash of white light appeared, and thirty-two silver darts, arranged in three columns—upper, middle, and lower—lashed towards me like lightning.

"Break!" I shouted, my inner energy bursting forth. The sturdy red incense table before me shattered into countless fragments, meeting the incoming silver darts

head-on. Although the darts were cunningly positioned, the sheer number of fragments, combined with the energy I carried, ensured that all thirty-two darts were intercepted.

The "Three Hands" hadn't placed much hope on the darts; they only wanted them to distract me temporarily. The real attack was yet to come.

Before the wooden block pinning the silver dart had even fully hit the ground, the next attack had already begun. To my left, Boss Zhong wielded a steel saber, its blade billowing like a white ribbon, slashing horizontally towards my waist; directly in front, the one-armed Second Brother Zhong used his sword to envelop seven vital points on my chest in a blur of blade shadows.

But the most formidable attack came from directly above—the legs of Third Brother Zhong. His legs had materialized into a dragon shape, practically sucking the air out of my face, then, infused with his chilling and vicious internal energy, they swooped down from the dragon's head. Of the three, his attack was the slowest, making it seem as if he were suspended in mid-air.

I knew he was waiting, waiting for Boss Zhong and Second Brother Zhong's attacks to create an opening or weakness.

The sharpest blade is always used at the most crucial moment!

It seems that beneath the reputation of "Three Hands" lies true skill; I had underestimated them!

Faced with the three men's fierce attacks, I gracefully retreated, drawing my longsword and instinctively deflecting Zhong Lao Er's blade. Simultaneously, my left foot lightly touched the blade of Zhong Lao Da's steel saber from below, striking it precisely. He felt a surge of immense power coursing through the saber; startled, he abruptly withdrew his right hand, abandoning the saber.

Just then, a venomous energy pierced the air like a needle from above. I raised my long-prepared left palm, clenched it into a fist, and struck heavily on Zhong Lao San's powerful kick.

All the attacks were lightning fast, a seamless chain of strikes. The three men's combined attack was flawless; thankfully, it was Master Liu Ri, otherwise, it wouldn't have worked.

Somewhat smugly, just like last time, I used seventy percent of my power to simulate the effect of the "Jade-Severing Technique," striking Zhong Laosan's foot. But to my horror, the two Zhong brothers, who should have continued their attack, abandoned it. They leaped into the air, their palms striking Zhong Laosan's back simultaneously.

"This is bad!" They were using the "Conjoined Horizontal and Vertical Technique"!

This technique aims to "gather streams into a river, gather sand into a tower," concentrating the power of several people into one, allowing that one person to unleash the power of several, resulting in a power far exceeding the combined strength of several individuals.

Of course, those practicing the "Conjoined Horizontal and Vertical Technique" must all practice martial arts of the same lineage.

Although I had reached the level of a "Peerless Master," even I couldn't instantly increase my power from seven layers to ten. Caught off guard, I had no choice but to brace myself and meet the attack head-on.

"Pfft!" Our fists and feet clashed, and the four of us coughed up blood and separated. They all crashed heavily to the ground, while the hard stone within three meters of Young Master Ri's feet had sunk three feet into the ground.

"Give me your life!" Since my debut, except for that time when I wasn't trapped by the Yan family's formation due to experience, I had never been so humiliated in a head-on confrontation. Young Master Liu's stubborn temper flared up immediately. Ignoring the danger of losing my power, I channeled all my strength, mounted my sword, and flew upwards, a white sword aura shooting straight at the three members of the Zhong family.

"Ah, the Sword Control Technique!" the three exclaimed in unison.

Zhong Laosan was the most ruthless; while his two older brothers stared in disbelief, he kicked Zhong Laoda and Zhong Laoer towards me, shredding them into mincemeat before they could even react. Zhong Laosan himself, however, used that instant to leap out of the window like lightning. Although the aftershock of the "Sword Control Technique" injured his back, he survived.

Clearly terrified, Zhong Laosan didn't dare linger after landing, using all his strength to run desperately into the vast night sky.

As for me, after exhausting my inner energy, I collapsed to the ground with a "thud."

Damn it, you ran fast, kid! I gasped for breath, a rush of fresh air filling my lungs, quickly restoring my inner energy and stamina. But even so, when I checked my internal energy, I discovered severe damage; twenty percent of my power had vanished without a trace.

However, I didn't panic. The Heavenly Demon Great Art, as the supreme technique of the Demonic Sect, naturally had its advantages. Take replenishing lost energy, for example; given five hours to heal, I would be completely recovered.

Suddenly, voices came from afar, followed by the sound of a group gathering.

The fight had already alerted the master, and Young Master Ri had no need to silence them, so he had no choice but to flee. I imitated Zhong Laosan, breaking through a window and leaping into the air amidst the shouts of the guards.

The people on the ground knew they weren't skilled enough to catch me, so they just shouted a few words and left, but to my ears, it sounded like "a tiger fallen into the plains being bullied by dogs."

Damn it! A bunch of shrimp soldiers dared to chase me like that; it was utterly shameful.

I ran all the way, finally landing in the backyard of "Jiwu Pavilion."

"Who goes there?" A dozen or so menacing figures, brandishing swords and knives, suddenly appeared from the previously deserted open space. Upon recognizing me, they all lowered their weapons and knelt respectfully before me: "Your subordinates greet the Regent!" The Regent

? I paused, then remembered that this was the responsibility entrusted to me by Prince Keimiya Hideyoshi before his departure last night.

Before quelling the rebellion in Japan, I would temporarily serve as regent, and as his son-in-law, I was given the title "Regent." I also knew that he had appointed Kyotaro as "Shogun of Heikoku."

I didn't bother with further formalities. I told them to rise, and after confirming that Lu Zhong and Lu Jie were still waiting for me at "Jiwu Pavilion," I went directly to the small hall where they were.

There were quite a few people in the hall, including Lu Zhong, Lu Jie, Mi Beiming, and the Keimiya sisters in their martial attire.

Most surprising to me was the stunningly beautiful, third most beautiful woman in the martial world, the Miao Holy Maiden—Si Xiqiong. Although she was veiled, I felt her eager eyes fixed on me the moment I entered.

Alas, this wasn't the light of love! I didn't misunderstand her meaning, so my first words after sitting down were to Mi Beiming.

"Beiming, tomorrow you will ride alone to the capital to meet with the Left Chancellor, Han Shuliang, and give him this letter, asking him to pass it on to my aunt—the current Empress Ren." I handed him the letter I had written last night.

"Yes, Your Highness!" Mi Beiming changed the subject, "How should I gain the trust of Chancellor Han? Please advise."

"You are indeed cautious!" I praised, casually taking out a jade pendant. "Take this to Lord Han, and he will forward the letter for you. Be careful on your journey!"

The last few words made Mi Beiming tremble. He stepped forward from his seat, knelt with both hands to receive the jade pendant, and said, "Please rest assured, Your Highness, I will certainly complete the mission."

"Hmm, if Prime Minister Han asks you any questions, you can answer truthfully without concealing anything."

"I understand." Mi Beiming stood up and turned to leave, but I transmitted my voice to his ear again: "Beiming, rest assured, no matter what your father does, I will protect your Mi family!" He didn't speak after hearing this, but he knelt down again, respectfully kowtowing three times before bowing and leaving.

During our return journey from the Great Yuan Kingdom, I used "Heavenly Demon Soul Absorption" to investigate Mi Beiming's background during a break. I discovered that he was actually quite loyal to the court. Born into a concubine's family, he had voluntarily requested a transfer to the Great Yuan precisely because he disapproved of his father Mi Shaoci's actions.

It was precisely because I knew what Mi Beiming was thinking that I dared to use him, involving him in my confidential affairs. Although he was grateful for my recognition and wanted to make a name for himself under me, he was also caught in a dilemma between loyalty to his family and duty to his country. And after tonight's banquet, Mi Beiming, with his keen intuition, had vaguely sensed something… because when I entered, I saw him avoiding my eyes.

"I will ensure the safety of the Mi family" was my promise to Mi Beiming. It seems to have worked well; from his excited heartbeat and his final, steady steps, it was clear that Mi Beiming had made up his mind—as for his loyalty and ability, only time will tell.

I watched with satisfaction as Mi Beiming walked out the door, then my eyes shifted to Si Xiqiong: "Holy Maiden, you can go home within seven days!"

"Really?" Although Si Xiqiong was simple-minded, she was also a clever and perceptive girl. Her eyes lit up, and her face was full of joy: "So, you sent him to the capital to retrieve the 'Snow Lotus'?"

"That's right!" I acted like a refined gentleman, but I didn't tell her that Mi Beiming's main purpose in going was to ask for help for me, and retrieving her thousand-year-old "Golden Gu King" was just a side matter.

"I thank you on behalf of my mother, young master!" Si Xiqiong wanted to bow to me, but I grabbed her arm.

"Why be so polite, young lady? I... am unworthy of such courtesy!" Holding her smooth arm, inhaling the unique floral fragrance of Southern Xinjiang up close, my heart couldn't help but tremble.

Lu Jie, standing beside me, tried to smile, but I noticed in time and glared at her to signal her not to ruin things. However, this spoiled girl wrinkled her nose and glared back, sticking her tongue out at me, as if to say, "I'm not afraid of you!"

Young Master Ri, a seasoned player in the game of love, naturally had his ways. I focused my gaze intently on her ample breasts, my undisguisedly aggressive stare quickly overwhelming Xiaoli, who lowered her head in embarrassment.

"Father-in-law! This trip has completely severed ties with the Fu family!" I told him everything that had happened. "Right now, only if the Lu family becomes powerful can we avoid being bullied and become the dominant force in Yizhou!"

"But we simply don't have the strength to contend with the Fu family..." Lu Zhong, though overjoyed, was also quite melancholic. His eyes never left me... Sigh, marrying someone's daughter means having obligations. He clearly wanted me to plan a way out for the Lu family.

"That's easy. I'll train Tianxi and the others into top-notch fighters within a month."

"But even with them, we still don't have enough manpower!"

"I have my own plan. We'll discuss it another day!" Good for Lu Zhong, truly a shrewd old man.

Indeed, with just the Lu family's manpower, they couldn't even withstand a single attack from the Fu family. That's why I requested reinforcements in my letter to Empress Ren.

Why didn't I just tell Emperor Kangzong?

Well, you all know how boastful Young Master Ri was during the marriage proposal. Now, he hasn't even taken Yizhou County, and he wants more manpower? That would make me look inferior to my father-in-law, the Emperor… And what about

Empress Ren? Haven't you heard the saying, "The more a mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, the more interesting he becomes"? With Guai Yunfu's help, sending some imperial guards to support her would be a natural thing to do.

"Father-in-law, I'll go back to Rong County with you tomorrow, but I'd appreciate it if you could rush back tonight and prepare some things for me." I couldn't let him be too comfortable after all this hard work. With that, I pulled out a large list, my expression solemn: "Whether the Lu family succeeds or not depends entirely on your logistical support, Father-in-law!" Hearing my exaggerated words, Lu Zhong took the list and ran out… It seemed that none of the Lu family members in Rong County would be getting any sleep tonight.

"Pfft!" The moment Lu Zhong's footsteps faded, the previously smiling Liu Ri, the chivalrous hero, couldn't help but vomit a mouthful of blood, his face turning deathly pale. The four women present all cried out in alarm and rushed to my side.

The Jing Gong sisters helped me up, and Lu Jie took out a beautiful handkerchief, trembling as she wiped my mouth: "Husband, you…you mustn't frighten Jie'er!" Her beautiful eyes blinked, and glistening tears immediately streamed down her face.

Although the two twin beauties behind me weren't crying, I could hear their rapid breathing and trembling bodies. "

It's not that dramatic, is it..." Young Master Ri felt a pang of guilt: Actually, I just wanted to trick these beauties into understanding the hardships men face outside.

That mouthful of blood? I forced it out by gently aggravating my internal injuries.

Just as I was about to say "I'm fine," the third most beautiful woman in the martial arts world, the Miao saintess Si Xiqiong, spoke up: "Young master, let me take a look at you. I know a little about medicine."

"Ah? Is that necessary?!" My limp body quickly straightened, but my three nervous wives pressed me back down.

Lu Jie said coquettishly, "Husband... just let Sister Xiqiong examine you..." Her sweet words made me unconsciously hand my hand to Si Xiqiong.

Si Xiqiong placed three slender, warm fingers on my pulse, and a cool, refreshing energy entered my body, instantly spreading throughout my entire being.

I hadn't realized she had such a trick up her sleeve. Luckily, the eldest young master of the Liu family was prepared. I deliberately made my internal energy appear chaotic, yet without any serious harm, and then slightly enhanced my yang energy... Under my deception, Si Xiqiong slightly furrowed her beautiful brows.

"Sister Xiqiong, my husband..." The Jinggong sisters panicked as well.

"Oh!" Si Xiqiong smiled upon hearing this, her smile indescribably beautiful and moving. "Young master is alright, but after tonight's fierce battle, his body has suffered considerable damage and needs proper recuperation... However, strangely enough, although he is injured, his yang energy is still surging, he needs, he needs..." Ni Zi said, but then became shy, her pretty face flushed.

Lu Jie quickly pressed for an answer, but after Jinggong Cai whispered something in her ear, she also blushed, and then she and Jinggong Cai laughed and played together. Occasionally, their soft, smooth bodies would brush against me.

Hehe, anyone who understands martial arts knows that "excessive Yang" requires the nourishment and soothing of a large number of young girls' primordial Yin. Lu Jie was clearly teased by Jing Gongcai.

"Thank you for the treatment, Holy Maiden. I'll go take my medicine now." After saying that, I pulled up the two He tribe princesses behind me, called Lu Jie, and we walked out of the room together, leaving only the Miao Holy Maiden, bewildered and shy by my bold actions.

Of course, I didn't expect to win Si Xiqiong's heart with just a few explicit words, nor did I intend to exchange the thousand-year-old "Golden Gu King" for her virginity—although it was certainly possible.

I hoped she would like and love Liu Ri, without any other factors involved.

There's still plenty of time, a long road ahead, and many more opportunities to conquer her; there's no need to kill the goose that lays the golden eggs!
[Episode 6: Yizhou Attack and Defense] Chapter 2: Two Beauties Throw Themselves into My Arms

I wasn't joking; dragging the Jing Gong sisters out was to deflower them! Now that I've become the "Regent," I naturally have to live up to the title. Plus, I need to appease the hearts of a large group of clansmen. Considering all these factors, I decided to pluck the two twin beauties tonight.

When I brought the Keimiya sisters to the room, Lu Jie made an excuse and ran away. They knew that this older sister didn't want their first night to end with any regrets.

Keimiya Mi and Keimiya Aya usually practice the "Mind Unity" technique in ninjutsu, so they're inseparable, not only practicing and playing, but also eating and sleeping together.

Their room is a typical Japanese-style house, with a floor made of special straw mats of varying sizes, covered with a solid-colored carpet made of animal fur. On top of that are two mattresses connected to the duvet covers, forming the Keimiya sisters' bed.

As soon as the two sisters entered the room, they dragged me to the bathroom on the left. The three of us entered the large bathtub together, and then each of the beautiful girls picked up a towel and gently began to dry me. Although there were some physical advances, I didn't do anything inappropriate—after all, they were two princesses, and I, a duke of the Celestial Empire, had to maintain proper etiquette.

Of course, the most important thing tonight was to consummate our marriage!

After washing for almost half an hour, I was finally able to hold the two beauties in my arms and fall asleep in bed.

The two beauties' breasts weren't very large, at least not as large as the "busty beauty" at home, but the young girls' well-developed breasts were soft yet firm, occasionally emitting an intoxicating milky fragrance. Their breasts stood erect, flushed, and their originally pink nipples, engorged with blood, glowed a feverish red.

Under my constant caresses, the twin beauties' pretty faces were frighteningly red, and beads of sweat even dripped from their straight, delicate noses.

I carefully compared the two women's figures. To my surprise, I discovered that not only were Jing Gongmei and Jing Gongcai indistinguishable in appearance, but their body structures were also exactly the same.

Their round faces held an innocent childlike charm; their skin, at only fourteen years old, was delicate and fair, like jade. Their figures were well-proportioned and beautifully curved, their slightly large buttocks full of flesh, firm and white.

Below, their soft bellies were flat, their snow-white thighs, like carved mutton-fat jade, contrasting with their moist, engorged, bright red labia. Thick pubic hair lay smoothly on their mounds, and a barely visible nipple hung high at the top of their vulva, incredibly alluring.

Even a god would want to take a bite of such beauties, and I, known for my "cherishing of flowers," was naturally even more aroused.

While kneading Jing Gongmei's firm breasts, changing their shape in my hands, I placed Jing Gongcai on my crossed thighs, sucking her sweet nectar. My other hand roamed freely over her smooth back.

Because the two women had a telepathic connection, my caresses of both were now equivalent to those of one person, achieving two goals at once.

"Mmm..." A thick nasal sound kept escaping. The two girls were clearly incredibly shy, yet they tried their best to please me.

After a short while, Jing Gongmei squeezed her legs together and slumped her body against my broad shoulders; Jing Gongcai was even more helpless, she only knew to let me bite, lick, roll, and insert her small, fragrant tongue into her mouth with hazy eyes... and my hands were now only there to support her and prevent her from falling.

"Little Cai, you're being naughty!" I withdrew my hand from Jing Gongmei's breasts, and reached between Jing Gongcai's legs, gently flicking and pulling, drawing out a long, silvery-white liquid.

"Ah...you...you're so annoying!" The beautiful girl's face flushed red as she buried herself in my arms when I discovered the sticky liquid flowing from her lower body, her eyes only able to see me put my muddy finger into her sister's mouth.

She was about to say something, but then she saw the finger circle around her sister's lower body before returning to her own mouth, the rich scent making her heart tremble.

"Both of them are leaking fluid! I'm going to punish you!"

I ordered them to kneel and crawl on the ground, their upper bodies bent forward and their lower bodies raised, displaying their large, snowy buttocks before me.

"Slap!" After the previous ordeal, Jing Gongcai was really exhausted. As soon as her buttocks landed, I slapped her hard on the buttocks. "Don't let them land, good!"

In the lewd atmosphere, a lot of fluid seeped out of the beautiful virgin's vulva.

After my manipulation, two round and sexy large buttocks stood upright before me, and the two small, swirling anuses at the top contracted and expanded with their rapid breathing.

"Hmm, good! Good!" I knelt between them, my hands slowly sliding over their large, beautiful buttocks. Instantly, the scorching demonic energy turned their buttocks pink.

The two Japanese princesses had never experienced such torment before. They felt a burning heat and itching in their buttocks. Normally, they could bear it, but in front of the demonic hands of their beloved, only deep shame and a trace of desire remained.

"Brother...I want..." The first to succumb was Jing Gongcai, who pitifully turned her face away, unable to utter a word.

Every woman's first night is an unforgettable experience. I couldn't be too cruel to my beloved wife, so I understandingly picked her up and laid her flat on the white bed: "Little Cai'er, your husband is starting!"

I gently lay on top of her, lifting her long legs and parting her thighs. In the mud, her two slightly wriggling, tender red labia looked incredibly alluring.

Just as I was about to advance, I noticed that Jing Gongmei had also turned her head, looking at me with a mournful expression...that gaze was more powerful than any martial arts technique, making the young master tremble. So, I beckoned her to crawl over, pulling her close from behind. Upon

physical contact, I realized that the heat of her body surpassed even that of my sister lying on the ground...it seems that her plump buttocks were the sensitive limit for both beautiful girls!

"Brother..." Hearing Jing Gongcai's passionate words, I lowered my head and gently bit her proudly erect, tender red nipple with my teeth.

Young Master Ri is a seasoned expert in lovemaking, unlike a naive young man who rushes into action. Teasing a beautiful girl who is aroused, the feeling in her heart is hard to describe in words.

When breaking her virginity, pleasure and pain coexist. But there's nothing that can be done, since every woman has a hymen. All Young Master Ri can do is reduce the beauty's pain beforehand and give her more pleasure afterward.

My fingers traced a beautiful rhythm, the "Bewitching Fingers" technique, reduced by 99% of its power, was equally effective on the beautiful girl's body.

I gently inserted a pleasurable aura into every sensitive spot of Jing Gongcai's, and her skin, like her buttocks, turned an alluring pink, and sweet springs began to flow from the depths of her honey hole.

My already rock-hard penis, needing no support, expertly pressed against the tender labia, teasing the girl's clitoris and vulva. The fluid flowing from her vulva quickly soaked the Tyrannosaurus Rex's crown, leaving a layer of clear fluid on its glossy red surface.

"Mmm..." Compared to her small vulva, my penis was undoubtedly enormous. Even with the lubrication of her love juices, when the massive glans squeezed into her narrow vaginal opening, Aya couldn't help but let out a soft moan of pain.

Not only her, but even Aya, who had been clinging to my back, tensed up, reaching out to grasp her sister's small hand.

"Aya, bear with it!" I abandoned her breasts, looking into her beautiful almond eyes.

Aya nodded and smiled, but her face remained pale.

My experience tells me that in moments like this, hesitation is utterly dangerous, otherwise, it will only bring greater pain to the woman.

I took a deep breath and slowly pushed my penis in, stretching her vaginal opening wide. My large penis slid in, making her full mons pubis swell even more.

With each inch of penetration, it pulled her labia in, pushing the mons pubis inwards. A sticky sheen of fluid and crimson blood trickled down the shaft of my penis where the flesh met. Further in, there was only a thin membrane. After a few rotations, I thrust hard, my penis breaking through the biggest barrier, heading straight for her uterus.

"Ah…" Jing Gongcai couldn't help but grab my shoulders tightly, drawing several bloody scratches. The beautiful girl behind me also clung tightly to me, her breathing labored.

"It hurts…" The fourteen-year-old girl's large eyes filled with tears, her lovely face turning pale.

"Baby, don't cry! Don't cry!" I stopped penetrating, my tongue slipping into her small mouth, licking, rolling, sucking, and licking incessantly, pure demonic energy slowly flowing throughout her body.

In a short while, Aya's entire body became hot again. My penis occasionally twitched inside her vagina, gradually allowing the narrow opening to adapt to the intrusion of my enormous member.

With each thrust from Aya, the speed of my thrusts increased, but the depth remained confined to that small section inside her vagina.

"Hmm...hmm...oh..." Aya frowned, seemingly still in some pain.

But women of the Yamato tribe are taught from childhood how to please their husbands, and the princess was no exception. So Aya cooperated, moving slowly and awkwardly.

"Little Aya, if it hurts, don't move..." Young Master Ri said, feigning generosity, but unable to conceal his increasingly engorged member.

As expected, Aya, upon hearing my words, twisted even more vigorously, even though she still felt a throbbing pain.

Cough cough, don't blame me for being clever; as the saying goes, "a short pain is better than a long one." Letting the beauty end her suffering and enter paradise as soon as possible was Young Master Ri's inescapable responsibility.

With the tender cooperation of the young princess, I felt as if my penis was being squeezed into a tight, elastic sheath. My entire shaft was gripped by her hot, slippery flesh, a sensation both tingling and pleasurable.

The pleasure was, of course, not one-sided. Soon, Jing Gongcai had almost completely adapted.

Her movements became faster and faster, and at our point of contact, a series of "splashing" sounds gradually arose. Her moans of pain were no longer low, suppressed; instead, they were filled with a sensual ecstasy.

"Brother... ah... um... good... comfortable... ah... oh... thick... ah... swollen... ah... ouch... numb..."

With her movements, the beautiful girl's soft, white breasts swayed before me. I opened my mouth and bit down on her nipple, sucking hard, while my other hand grasped her other breast, kneading it vigorously, constantly changing its shape.

I desperately wanted to insert my entire massive penis into the beautiful girl's lovely vagina, but after inserting the seven-inch section of my jade stem, Jing Gong Cai Rong couldn't accommodate the remaining three inches or so.

I could feel that her vagina was completely filled, without a single gap; inserting the rest would definitely pierce it.

The delicate vagina of a fourteen-year-old girl was simply not enough to accept this rare "Tyrannosaurus Rex Spear"!

"Mmm... Husband... Ah... It's... there... It's... so heavy... Oh... Mmm... Brother... Cai'er... is yours... Ah... I... I love you... so much... Oh... Cai'er... Oh... I want... to... be your... woman... forever..."

The penis, like a red-hot iron rod, seared its way into the narrow vagina, making the young girl's honey pot feel incredibly good. Especially the huge glans, constantly impacting Jing Gongcai's tender uterus, a mixture of tingling and numbness sending waves of indescribable pleasure through her uterus. The bulging glans, like barbs, relentlessly scraped at the tender flesh of her vagina, making her feel incredibly good.

Although the pain of losing her virginity still lingered, it was negligible in the face of the overwhelming pleasure.

I inserted and withdrew very carefully. The fourteen-year-old girl, newly married, couldn't withstand the brutal manipulation. Young Master Liu hadn't deflowered such a young beauty in a long time; the exhaustion was indescribable.

Based on my years of experience, a virgin's first orgasm usually comes quickly. The little princess of the Japanese tribe was no exception. After more than a hundred thrusts, Jing Gongcai's uterus kept leaking fluid, filling her narrow vagina.

My penis was like the piston of a water gun, relentlessly pumping in her oozing juices. The "plop," "plop" sounds grew louder and louder, mingling with her moans of pleasure, like a soul-stirring melody.

"Ah... Brother... so... comfortable... ah... um... oh... so big... Cai'er... so... comfortable... um... sore... numb... ah... Brother... I can't... take it anymore... ouch... ah! I... ah!"

With a shout, Jing Gong Cai's vagina began to contract sharply, then quickly opened again. A surge of heat from deep within her womb, like a deluge, engulfed my large penis, then flowed out of her honey hole, sliding down to her anus.

If this little beauty didn't climax soon, I'd have to find a way to make her climax sooner. Because... the hot, beautiful body behind me had already left a thick, sticky stain on my buttocks—this little girl, Jing Gong Mei, actually climaxed while watching her sister being fucked by her husband!

I gently laid down Jing Gongmei, whose eyes were tightly closed, and kissed and embraced Jing Gongcai for a while, letting her enjoy the afterglow of her climax before pressing down on Jing Gongmei's plump and smooth body...

"Our ancestors above..." In a magnificent and luxurious house in "Jiwu Pavilion," two beautiful young women were kneeling before many pure gold memorial tablets, whispering something. Young

Master Ri, not fully awake yet, stared at the two plump buttocks in front of him, feeling a surge of admiration.

He hadn't expected that these two girls, whom he had fucked three or four times last night, until they were filled with his semen and were on the verge of death, would be so energetic. They had dragged him to the ancestral hall of Haoye Temple at the crack of dawn, using sweet words and coaxing him into kneeling down behind them. Sigh

, well, he had just taken the virginity of their descendants last night, so it was only right to pay a respects.

The voices in the distance grew closer, and with a "bang," the door was suddenly flung open, accompanied by an arrogant voice.

"Damn it, that brat offended me, yet he made me kneel before the ancestral tablets, damn it..." Before he could finish speaking, the man suddenly saw my wicked smile and, in his panic, his curse could only stop at that single character.

Heaven really is looking out for me; knowing that Young Master Ri was bored, it specially sent me someone to relieve my boredom.

I gave him an expression like a cat seeing a mouse and said with interest, "Jing Gongyu, why aren't you cursing anymore?"

At this moment, Jing Gongmei and Jing Gongcai had already turned around and scolded, "Xiaoyu, how dare you shout in front of the ancestors? Kneel down now!"

"Hehe, Aunt!" Jing Gongyu was still very respectful to his two aunts. He immediately knelt down and said with a forced smile, "I didn't know you were here."

From the fact that he didn't even look at me, I knew that the "you" he mentioned obviously did not include Young Master Ri.

"Hmm, good boy!" Jing Gongcai's words sent chills down my spine. She pointed at me and said, "Xiaoyu, this is your uncle, come and greet him!"

Under her aunt's intimidation, Jing Gongyu reluctantly called out to me, then immediately ran to the Jing Gong sisters' side.

I smiled and said, "Meier, Cai'er, you two pay your respects first. I'm going out to test Xiaoyu's martial arts skills. Sigh, your brother really knows how to cause me trouble. I don't want to get involved!"

Under the gentle and apologetic gazes of the Jing Gong sisters, I reluctantly grabbed the definitely unwilling Jing Gongyu and strode out of the room.

In the early summer fog, you couldn't see anything more than three zhang away, but with the many flowers, plants, and trees of "Jiwu Pavilion," the morning air felt exceptionally fresh.

"Boy, get up!"

Once in the courtyard, I unleashed my Heavenly Demon True Qi, giving him a good time before letting go. The boy had already squatted down, a pained expression on his handsome face.

"Are they all dead? Why aren't you protecting me?" Hearing my words, Jing Gongyu stood up, but instead of walking towards me, he darted away with a "whoosh," shouting loudly.

The Yamato warriors were extremely loyal to their duty; as soon as Jing Gongyu finished speaking, a group of people emerged from every corner of the garden, surrounding him tightly. But when they saw my face not far away, they all awkwardly lowered their weapons at the first moment.

"What are you doing, trying to rebel?"

I said coldly, my eyes flashing with a sharp light, causing every warrior who met my gaze to lower their heads: "What did your lord say before he left? Have you already forgotten me, the 'Regent,' after only one day? Is this the loyalty and filial piety of your Yamato people?"

"Your subject dares not!"

The group of people were all so frightened that they knelt on the ground, not daring to raise their heads. Among them, only one lonely figure remained standing.

"I've noted your insubordination. If the same thing happens again, I will execute you without mercy! Now, leave Jing Gongyu here, and you may all leave. No one is allowed to enter this courtyard without my permission, understand?"

"Yes, sir!" After kowtowing three times, the group ignored Jing Gongyu and ran out quickly. In the large courtyard, only Jing Gongyu and I remained.

Looking at Jing Gongyu's pale, lifeless face, I sat down against a rockery and slowly said, "My good nephew, I'll give you a chance now. Use all your martial arts skills. If you touch the hem of my clothes within twenty moves, I'll spare you today. Otherwise, hmph!"

I casually crushed a hard stone, letting the powder slowly drift from my palm.

[Episode 6: Yizhou Attack and Defense] Chapter 3: Secret Weapon

It was an hour later when I ordered the guards to take the tortured Fusang prince out.

The pig-like screams during that time really ruined my appetite for breakfast; I didn't even finish a plate of dumplings, red bean pancakes, or a bowl of ginger-stewed milk. Sigh, raising children is such a hassle…

Ask me about my childhood? Hmph, my dad wouldn't dare! Every time I angered him, the young master of the Liu family would cleverly run to my mother's portrait and cry about my father's sins, leaving him helpless as he chased after me with a board.

The scouts sent out quickly reported back; the remaining members of the Spring and Autumn Family and the Divine Sword Gang, after joining forces, withdrew from Yizhou County overnight and went to join the Fu family.

I couldn't help but snort coldly after hearing this. The chivalry of the martial world? That's something only found in books. "The hatred of killing one's father and destroying one's family," "The hatred of annihilating one's entire clan"—none of that matters as much as one's own life—just look at Zhong Laosan last night and the Spring and Autumn and Divine Sword Gangs now.

The young master has never had a good impression of martial arts barbarians, and now he feels even more contempt for them.

After lunch, I took the Jinggong sisters, Lu Jie, Chun Ya, Qiu Bi's family, and the three kings of the Lu family back to the Lu family in Rong County.

The head steward, Lu Xigu, who came to pick us up, had bloodshot eyes. He said that after a night of preparation by the Lu family, almost everything I needed was ready, and Lu Zhong was currently going to the blacksmith to retrieve the last two iron barrels.

When we arrived at the Lu family, Lu Zhong had already returned home. Lu Jie helped everyone settle in, while I went directly to find Lu Zhong.

He was in the newly built large wooden house next to the Peony Pavilion, directing the workers to install the iron barrels.

The structure of the wooden house was as I had requested; it had no windows, and in the center were two connected stone stoves, on which lay two thick iron barrels, about half a person's height and three feet wide. Two large holes, exactly the size of the barrels, were cut into the roof directly opposite the roof. There were three such large wooden houses in total, and with the medicinal herbs needed, Lu Zhong's expenses were considerable.

"My dear son-in-law, everything is ready!" Lu Zhong's eyes were even bloodshot than Lu Xigu's. "The medicinal herbs will be brought to the room soon, and our carefully selected 120 strong young men and 60 young women are already waiting in the training ground next door!"

"Let's go, let's go see your disciples too!" I took Mei'er and Cai'er's hands, and led by Lu Zhong, we arrived at a small square training ground next to the Lu residence.

"Husband, why bother training them? Don't we have them at home?" Jing Gong Cai asked, puzzled.

"Silly girl, can your people stay with us forever? You know, your manpower is already limited. If you add more dowry members, won't we have no soldiers left to use for the restoration of the kingdom?" I specifically asked Lu Zhong to select ten eight-year-old girls and have Jing Gong Mei and Jing Gong Cai teach them Japanese ninjutsu so they could become the young master's personal guards in the future.

I understood Jing Gong Cai's meaning. Training a qualified terrorist takes an astonishing amount of time and energy, and it's better to use existing manpower in the short term.

Of course, I righteously and firmly rejected her suggestion. "What a joke! Little girl, don't you even look at those female ninjas in your family? Not only are they not very pretty, but they're all plump, with big breasts and delicate eyebrows—haven't your brother slept with them countless times?

And who knows, maybe that kid Jing Gongyu even got involved!

I would never pick up my brother-in-law's leftovers, but… a beautiful, mature woman's body immediately flashed in my mind: she's still worth considering!"

On the training ground, men and women were divided into two large squares, quietly watching us.

I inspected 120 members of the Lu family. They were all around 20 years old, tall, strong, and powerful. Although they lacked martial arts skills, their lower bodies were stable and their qi and blood were abundant; training them to an intermediate level wouldn't be difficult.

"Brother, where did you find these girls?" Jing Gongmei asked me in surprise after inspecting the girls.

"Bought them? What's wrong? None of them are suitable?"

"No, brother, you're amazing! My sister and I thought we could only find a few suitable candidates, but we found twenty!" Jing Gongcai said with a disbelieving look.

I smiled slightly. These girls were selected by Lu Zhong overnight from the slave market at my instruction. The requirements were "the cleanest, the strongest, and the most beautiful." It seems Lu Zhong has some discernment when it comes to buying slaves.

Although my Liufeng Kingdom is peaceful, there are still many poor people. The land annexation by landlords and powerful families has displaced a large number of farmers, ultimately turning them into slaves.

If it weren't for the government's measures such as issuing "no wanton killing of slaves," reducing taxes, and occasionally eliminating a few particularly powerful local tyrants, the people would have revolted long ago.

Even so, the number of slaves in the country is still astonishing. It is because of this that Lu Zhong was able to buy sixty beautiful eight-year-old girls in one night.

Of the Three Kingdoms, the Huayun Kingdom had the most prevalent slave system. Not only was its control over slaves the strictest, but they even maintained the ancient custom of "funeral sacrifice" for slaves. In the Yuan Dynasty, due to the rise of numerous merchants and free trade, slavery had essentially disappeared, leaving only a formality. In comparison, our Liufeng Kingdom was somewhere in the middle.

Actually, the advantages and disadvantages of slavery are easy to see. Huayun, with its prevalent slavery, was the poorest of the Three Kingdoms, while the Yuan Dynasty was the richest… Even I can see this; Emperor Kangzong, Consort Ren, and my precious Yunfu surely can too. Perhaps it's because there are three kings in the court, and the power of the powerful slave owners below is too great, that they dare not act rashly?

Alas, the emperor's family is also suffering in another form… This thought flashed through my mind.

I shook my head, telling myself not to think so much, focusing on the present.

I immediately summoned the three Lu family kings to the training ground and began a fervent training session. Meanwhile, the twenty selected girls were taken by the Jing Gong sisters to the Peony Pavilion to learn the first steps of becoming a ninja.

Since none of the 120 Lu family members had any internal strength foundation, I skipped this step and immediately had them carry 20-pound loads of raw iron on their backs, running around Rong County three times and back.

Watching the procession gradually disappear into the distance, the three Lu brothers beamed with joy, secretly rejoicing at their improved treatment… Hmph, improved treatment? That depends on how you look at it.

I led Lu Tianluo, Lu Tianxian, and Lu Tianxi into the wooden hut. The servants inside, following my instructions, poured ginseng, snow lotus, he shou wu, cordyceps, gastrodia elata, deer antler, and bear bile into three iron buckets, while a roaring fire was already burning in the stone stove beneath them.

The third brother, Lu Tianxi, asked curiously, "Your Highness, are you going to refine some kind of elixir for us to eat? Is it the kind that will greatly increase our power?"

I rolled my eyes and shook my head. Have they been reading too many heroic tales? Where in the world is there such a super elixir? If there were, wouldn't you just eat a few and be able to ride on Young Master Ri's head with your arrogance?

"So it is...

"Or..."

The three brothers all started to imagine, but none of them could guess correctly. In the end, I kindly told them: "The herbs in this bucket are prepared for you. You will have to sit in the iron bucket later and steam in it for three hours every day. The fire in the furnace is not big, just enough to keep it at a boiling temperature." The

three Lu family kings turned pale after hearing this. Fortunately, the young master was skilled and managed to immobilize them by pressing their pressure points before they could escape from the wooden house.

"Men, throw them in!"

"No, Your Highness, we have no grudges against each other..." they wailed.

"Stop!" My voice turned cold. "Do you think I want to kill you, to steam you alive?" They shook their heads in unison, their eyes revealing completely different thoughts.

"Don't you want to have the same martial arts skills as me? I can tell you, if you persevere for a month, you'll at least be that strong." I pointed, and a small hole appeared in a corner of the sturdy stone stove where a white light flashed. "Besides, with me here watching over things, how could anything go wrong?"

I used both threats and inducements, finally forcing them to grit their teeth and enter the iron barrel.

"It's so hot..." After a while, a few bubbles began to rise occasionally in the warm water, and the three of them cried out at the same time.

"Remove two pieces of firewood. Remember, maintain this temperature for five days, not a minute more, not a minute less." I instructed the servant tending the stone stove, then took out a bottle of pills. "Give your young master one pill every day before it begins."

"Yes!"

"The yang energy is strongest at noon every day. Open the skylight above me for only one hour at noon, and keep it closed the rest of the time, understand?"

"Yes!"

"Remember the internal energy cultivation method I taught you?" I saw my first batch of test subjects and felt a little nervous. "For three hours, keep circulating your internal energy so you won't get burned. If anyone slacks off, don't blame me if you get steamed. Also, for this month, anyone who dares to approach a woman will be sent to the palace to serve the Emperor. This is a blessing that others can only dream of! Huh? Is the temperature not high enough? Why are you still shivering?"

After dinner, I called Chun Ya and Qiu Bi to the wooden house where Lu Zhong and I had talked earlier. Watching them take off their clothes and immerse themselves in the water without hesitation, I felt much more nervous than before—Chun Ya and Qiu Bi were the focus of my talent cultivation plan; the Lu brothers and the little female ninja were secondary.

Yes! I'm going to cultivate the most powerful "weapon" in the Demonic Sect—the "Rakshasa Witch"!

The iron barrel is filled with sixty-eight kinds of spiritual herbs and fifty-two kinds of poisonous herbs; Lu Zhong spent most of last night collecting these. However, they are expensive and difficult to find; only a wealthy and powerful family like the Lu family could gather them so quickly.

A "Rakshasa Witch" cultivated using secret methods will not only have dramatically increased power and be impervious to blades and spears, but will also be as loyal as a dog. Therefore, throughout history, there have always been "Rakshasa Witches" by the side of my Demonic Sect leader.

But the "Rakshasa Witch" is not without its flaws. Her biggest flaw is her lack of judgment; to put it bluntly, she's an idiot and cannot live without her master.

Of course, I can't bear to see beauties like Chun Ya and Qiu Bi lose their own consciousness. The "Rakshasa Witch" I'm cultivating is a modified version by my master. Although her strength is only half that of the previous "Rakshasa Witches," she has the advantage of possessing human intelligence and has not lost her self-awareness.

Internal energy can be increased gradually later. Sacrificing beauties for profit is definitely not Young Master Ri's style.

The three Lu brothers cultivate the "Heavenly Demon Heart Method," and I can help keep an eye on them to prevent them from going astray; but Chun Ya and Qiu Bi cultivate the extremely yin "Rakshasa True Qi," and I can't do anything about that.

If I use my internal energy to help them, no matter how much Rakshasa True Qi the two women cultivate, it won't be enough for the Heavenly Demon True Qi, the number one in the Demonic Sect, to absorb; if I fail, I can at most save their lives, but I can't save their martial arts.

I have already explained these serious implications to Chun and Qiu, but they still agreed without hesitation.

Cultivating Rakshasa demonesses is different from cultivating the three Lu brothers. In the first month, apart from one hour a day for eating and resting outside, they need to be constantly soaked in medicinal water.

"You all keep a close watch on this," I said sternly to the five maids standing in the room. "If anything happens, ring the bell immediately!"

There's another room for the young female ninja. I installed bells in all three wooden huts in case of an emergency and we can't get to her in time.

"Yes!"

"Repeat my instructions."

"Yes!...The water temperature must be just boiling; the skylight must only be opened at the hour of Hai (9-11 PM) when the moon is high in the sky, and closed after that; the medicine must be changed when it turns white..."

"Hmm, if you take good care of her, I'll reward you handsomely, but if anything goes wrong, everyone's entire family will lose their heads!"

"We understand."

By the end of the day, Chun and Qiu had fainted in the tub no less than ten times.

The secret manual says that those who soak in the medicine "feel as if they are being tortured by a thousand cuts," and it seems that's true. The two girls I brought out, Chun Ya and Qiu Bi, were not only pale, but their bodies were also trembling uncontrollably. Out of pity, I secretly changed the training method, instructing them to soak for only three hours each in the morning and afternoon.

This made things much easier for them, but the kind of incredibly powerful "Rakshasa Witch" I dreamed of was definitely impossible to achieve.

The three Lu brothers weren't having it any easier than Chun Ya and Qiu Bi. Besides the three hours of soaking each day, they also endured my inhuman beatings and torture for an hour each morning and evening. After several days, they didn't sleep soundly for a single night, often crying out in their sleep, "Don't hit me!" or "Mommy, save me..." As for

the 120 able-bodied young men, I made them run with heavy loads in the morning, and then stand in the pool in the afternoon wielding steel swords to slash the water. The tasks were simple, but not easy.

Although I gave them large amounts of ginseng soup every day, they were still exhausted the next day.

It wasn't that there weren't any lazy ones, but after seeing the captured person suffering from the "Bone-Shattering Hand" and writhing in agony on the ground, they dared not even entertain such thoughts again, and all of them devoted themselves to practicing the basics.

The twenty young female ninjas were handed over to the Jinggong sisters for training, and the results were remarkable. In just two days, their bones had become very flexible, so flexible that they could curl their bodies into a circle, and their bodies had become much lighter. But according to Jinggong Mei, it would take at least three years to fully train them.

Three years? Is it really necessary to take that long?

Fortunately, I wasn't in a hurry to have them guard me, otherwise I wouldn't even know how I died.

The days passed in intense training and cultivation.

Surprisingly, in the next seven days, Young Master Ri didn't sleep with the beauties even once... Of course, not only were they tired, but I, the supervisor, was also suffering. Every night I would go back to my room and hold Lu Jie to sleep, where would I find the energy to make babies?

[Episode 6: Yizhou Defense and Siege] Chapter 4: The Dancer Reappears

June 23rd, the 42nd year of Ieyasu's reign, the eighth day of Young Master Hi's training.

The sun was high in the sky, and I lay lazily on the bed, my penis still hard and lolling inside Lu Jie's narrow honey hole. The warm, soft jade in my arms was indescribably pleasant.

"Husband...you really aren't going out?" The beauty in my arms opened her eyes, her fingers gently tracing circles on my strong chest muscles, her large eyes blinking as she looked at me.

"Why go out? It's rare to have someone do it for me. I want to get a good night's sleep." Saying this, I found Lu Jie's cherry-like lips and bit down. Sweet saliva flowed from her mouth and was sucked into mine. In just one bite, the beautiful young woman was panting, her face flushed. Our lips parted, Lu Jie breathed heavily, her alluring chest heaving beautifully.

Loud shouts and roars came clearly from the training ground in the distance.

The reinforcements sent by Empress Ren arrived last night, so after meeting them, I instructed them to begin training the 120 Lu family disciples in their own individual ways.

Empress Ren actually sent the Northwest Wang family's elite troops, known as the "Number One Family of the Flowing Wind," a total of twelve men, all top-tier masters in their thirties. No wonder the Wang family reigns supreme in the Northwest; their relationship with the imperial family is so close—they're practically Emperor Kangzong's private army!

Those who don't know the situation assume that I, this pampered young master, can't handle hardship, which is why I hastily entrusted the training to the Wang family.

But they don't know that I have unspeakable difficulties.

Firstly, although my martial arts are high, they are all self-taught. While my methods produce top-tier fighters, the time and resources required are enormous. Therefore, this method is clearly unsuitable for the 120 Lu family disciples—a mid-level skill is sufficient for them.

Secondly, the Wang family is known as the "Number One Family of the Flowing Wind," and with hundreds of years of accumulation, they must have extraordinary abilities. Using their methods to train everyone is undoubtedly taking a shortcut.

"Brother, you're taking it easy... Mei'er and Cai'er are the ones who are working so hard!" While thinking, Lu Jie wrapped her delicate body around me again, her little mouth pouting so much it could hang an oil bottle. "They're only fourteen years old. Brother, you're so heartless, making your two little sisters busy from morning till night every day. It's heartbreaking to see. Fortunately, they have Jia and Sister Xiqiong to help share some of the burden..."

Speaking of the Jinggong sisters, I really felt a little guilty. After they came with me, they were either fighting alongside me or working hard to train ninjas for me. They didn't get to enjoy any blessings, but they suffered a lot. But what can you do when Young Master Ri has so few helpers? If they don't want to become beautiful young widows, they have no choice but to work hard.

Hearing Lu Jie mention that Si Xiqiong also helps the Jinggong sisters train young female ninjas, my determination to marry her became even stronger. Before even entering the door, he already knew how to pamper his younger sister; it's a real shame the young master didn't marry you!

Si Xiqiong's reason for helping wasn't to curry favor with me so she could retrieve the thousand-year-old "Golden Gu King," but rather because she genuinely felt a connection with the Jinggong sisters. I originally intended to keep her at the "Jiwu Pavilion" in Cangzhou, but the two little devils insisted she come with us.

However, this won't last long. The Wang family has already retrieved the thousand-year-old "Golden Gu King," and Si Xiqiong's return to Miao territory is imminent.

Last night, the Wang family not only brought back the thousand-year-old "Golden Gu King," but also the latest major news.

The first, of course, was the work of the young master of the Liu family.

Two mysterious youths openly slaughtered the Kou delegation right under the noses of the Nangong family, one of the "Three Heroes of the Continent," greatly boosting the morale of the mainlanders. Afterwards, the head of the Nangong family, the "Hereditary Duke of Lu," Nangong Wangjiang, personally apologized to the Emperor of the Great Yuan, admitting his incompetence.

However, if we add the fact that the young master severely injured Nangong Yuanyue, forcing her to flee, wouldn't that be even more sensational? It seems the Nangong family kept it a secret.

The second matter is the imperial war report.

Prince Chen Fuyue of Chu led the "Silver Tiger Legion" on the northwestern border, decisively defeating the allied forces of the three tribes of Mo Nan, killing 60,000 and capturing 80,000, and pursuing the enemy deep into the heart of Mo Nan, terrifying the enemy and greatly enhancing the prestige of our Liufeng sect among the tribes of the desert.

The third matter is that Wuxing Shenni, one of the three symbols of the Holy Gate, for some unknown reason, actually sent her disciple to roam the martial world wielding the "Wuxing Sword."

Since personally executing "Tian Qing You Yu" Shu Yiyi ten years ago, Shenni's sending her disciple to roam the martial world again likely means that the long-peaceful martial world will no longer be peaceful.

The fourth matter concerns a new sect, the "Sun and Moon Divine Sect," which caused a sensation among all sects upon its establishment.

Establishing a sect is usually a very common thing, but the "Sun and Moon Divine Sect" is extremely unusual, with three differences.

Firstly, it's said that on the day the "Sun Moon Divine Cult" was founded, a mere hall master defeated the leaders of twelve other gangs; and one of its masked female vice-leaders defeated Elder Cihai of the Great Xiangguo Temple within ten moves and broke the "Flower Cloud First Sword" within twenty moves.

Even more astonishingly, this vice-leader claimed her martial arts were less than half of the cult leader's.

Keep in mind, Elder Cihai is among the top ten martial artists in the world, aside from those on the "Top Five Masters of the World" list!

However, the cult leader didn't appear on the founding day, making this mysterious leader the subject of much speculation.

Secondly, the Ba family, known for their fairness, after seeing the true faces of the two super vice-leaders of the "Sun Moon Divine Cult," declared that they would definitely be at the top of the next "Flower Phoenix and Phoenix Ranking," and that in over three hundred years, no gang had ever had two members simultaneously on the "Flower Phoenix and Phoenix Ranking."

The final astonishing aspect was that on the day of its founding, the "Sun Moon Cult" displayed over a thousand treasures worth three hundred million gold coins for everyone to admire, making it arguably the most powerful and influential sect in a century.

Apart from the "First Swordsman of Huayun" whose sword was broken, no one dared to make a move.

Later, after a second-rank Grand Master from the imperial court came to offer congratulations, no one dared to seize anything.

Of the four major events, the first was not a concern, the third and fourth were temporarily irrelevant, but the second was worth paying attention to.

Chen Fuyue's growing prestige represented the expansion of the Chu King's faction's power, which would undoubtedly change the political landscape.

Furthermore, Chen Fuyue commanded the "Silver Tiger Legion," a 300,000-strong border army, posing a significant threat to the capital region, which was within a ten-day march's reach. Although Yun Fu claimed Chen Fuyue was loyal to the court, human nature is unpredictable, and loyalty could not be discerned until a critical moment.

Of the four legions, the "Golden Dragon Legion," commanded by "General Yue Mu," is the foremost general of Liufeng, unparalleled in wisdom and courage. It is precisely because of his talent that Emperor Kangzong placed him in the most important position, entrusting him with the defense of the northeastern border region bordering the Yuan and Huayun, ensuring Liufeng's border security.

The "Bronze Leopard Legion," deployed in the east and south to defend the two borders, is equally well-equipped and powerful, but unfortunately, from the marshal to the generals, all are trusted confidants of the Prince of Zhennan. The "Iron Wolf Legion," responsible for rotating the defense of the realm, has its forces too scattered.

The remaining Imperial Guard in the capital region, nominally a fierce and powerful force, is confined to the capital year-round; whether it can contend with the battle-hardened "Silver Tiger Legion" is unknown—after all, a sword gets sharper with use, and a woman gets better with use.

Although Young Master Liu Ri possesses unparalleled martial arts skills, when it comes to military campaigns, even ten of me wouldn't be a match for the battle-hardened Chen Fuyue. If one day his army besieges the city, perhaps the only thing I can do is rely on my unparalleled martial arts to protect Kangzong and the others so they can escape?

"Kill!"

In one training ground, twenty eight-year-old girls, wielding disproportionately large Japanese swords, diligently practiced simple and practical sword techniques like slashing, chopping, and parrying, their childish voices shouting in a seemingly professional manner.

My two little darlings, dressed in black, watched over them, occasionally correcting their posture and strength. After several days of wind and sun, Mei'er and Cai'er's skin had changed from fair to a healthy wheat color, adding a touch of heroic charm to their sweetness.

Elsewhere, one hundred and twenty members of the Lu family were divided into ten groups, each led by twelve Wang family experts. Under their command, the Lu family members attacked their respective instructors in small groups.

Although the Lu family members outnumbered them, they were always defeated in moments, as the difference in strength between the two groups was too great. In the words of the Wang family, the best learning is nothing more than real combat. Only through the tempering of life and death can the Lu family disciples become a formidable force.

The instructors pointed out the attackers' faults while mercilessly knocking them to the ground. It seemed they had been practicing for a long time; all 120 strong men were covered in wounds.

The three Lu family kings were diligently practicing the "Nine Heavenly Demon Blades." Given their current level of two layers of Heavenly Demon True Qi, being able to instantly slice nineteen fallen leaves was already a testament to their hard work.

The Wang family experts nearby glanced at them from time to time. With their extensive knowledge, they clearly recognized that Lu Tianxian and the other two were practicing demonic arts—but none of them dared to utter a sound!

Strictly speaking, not only the Wang family, but also the "Three Heroes of the Continent…"—none of these families could be considered pure martial arts practitioners. They were not only renowned in the martial arts world, but many of their family members also held official positions in the imperial court, and all had intricate connections with the royal court. For example, the Wang family sent one Imperial Noble Consort and two Concubines to Emperor Kangzong's palace.

Therefore, their actions could no longer be based on the principle of "black and white are incompatible." They had to care about the martial arts world, but more importantly, they had to understand the emperor's thoughts. Even if the emperor said, "The Demonic Cult is full of good people," they still had to nod and praise, "Your Majesty's insight is

truly profound, this humble subject admires you!"... This was the way of survival in officialdom, and they had no choice but to comply. It was for this reason that when they saw me using Demonic Cult martial arts to train masters, they could only keep their doubts to themselves and dared not speak out or ask me. This was also what Young Master Ri admired about officials: they knew when to advance and retreat. They wouldn't be like the barbarians of the martial arts world, blindly fighting without thinking!

Satisfied after watching the enthusiastic fighting spirit of everyone in the training ground, I turned to the wooden house to escort Chun Ya and Qiu Bi.

I didn't know they were so determined. Starting from the second day, they arbitrarily increased the time they spent soaking in the medicinal liquid in the iron barrel, causing me to hurriedly take them out of their coma the next day. From then on, I would stay by their side every day whenever I had free time, fearing that something might happen to them.

Today, the two women can soak in the tub for four hours straight, but they're barely passing. Every night, Young Master Ri's demonic energy helps them invigorate their meridians, allowing them to continue the next day.

The Jing Gong sisters have gotten tanned, while Chun Ya and Qiu Bi have been turned snow-white by the medicinal liquid. The day they can freeze their palms will be the day they become "Rakshasa Witches."

With the tireless efforts of these two beautiful women with strong wills, I think the day of their success is not far off.

Entering the wooden house, I immediately saw Si Xiqiong standing there, constantly directing the maids who were adding firewood to the fire below.

Hearing footsteps, the Miao Jiang Holy Maiden turned around, and upon seeing me, she gave a disapproving snort. I know the reason; Mei'er said she couldn't stand Young Master Ri using such a delicate girl to cultivate "Rakshasa Witches."

Alas, it's not just her; even I, Liu Ri, am starting to despise myself!

The two women sat pale-faced in the iron barrel. Although the maids below had kept the fire burning brightly, not a wisp of steam rose from the barrel.

"Holy Maiden, Mei'er and the others gave you the Thousand-Year-Old 'Golden Gu King,' right?" I asked, trying to start a conversation.

"Hmm... Hmph!

" "Hey, Holy Maiden, didn't you beg me to return the 'Golden Gu King' to you that day? You even said you'd agree to any conditions. Now that I've returned it to you, not only are you not grateful, but you're also giving me a hard time. That's just too much!"

Looking at her perfect profile from the side, I realized that the title of "Third Beauty of the Martial World" was truly well-deserved; she was like a celestial being descended to earth. How could Young Master Ri possibly be angry in front of such a beauty?

"Hmph... With the Jing Palace sisters here, you dare not give it to me!" The beauty looked like she had me cornered. "Why should I give you a nice look... You're not a good person, tormenting my two sisters like this!" She pointed her slender fingers at Chun Ya and Qiu Bi, saying angrily.

"But they agreed to it themselves."

"Agreed to it themselves? You are the 'Duke of Lanting,' holding the lives of both families in your hands. Do you think they dare to say no?" Si Xiqiong pressed on.

"Since you know I am a first-rank duke, how dare you defy me like this? Aren't you afraid I'll kill you, Holy Maiden?" I threatened her.

"You...you dare!" Si Xiqiong suddenly turned her head, her pretty face flushed red with anger.

"I dare not, I dare not!" I gathered my strength and met her gaze.

After a while, seeing that Si Xiqiong's eyes had also turned red, and she looked like she was about to cry, I quickly took out a handkerchief from my pocket and smeared it on her, surrendering, "Let's talk things out.

Don't cry, or you'll become ugly!" "Mind your own business!" The beautiful girl's anger through her nose was always so moving, even making the seasoned young master of the Liu family stare blankly, somewhat infatuated.

June 27th, 42nd year of Ieyasu, evening. Capital, Zhennan Prince's Mansion.

"Third Brother, do you have any evidence?" Prince Zhennan stared at Zhong Laosan, who stood before him, his face grim.

"Your Highness, I have no evidence. But I am certain that the Yuwen family does not have such a master... Moreover, I misjudged before; with that man's martial arts skills, even Master Zhao could not defeat him." After escaping, Zhong Laosan hid in a secret place for several days, suppressing his injuries, before rushing to the capital to report to Prince Zhennan. At this moment, his face was ashen, clearly indicating that his injuries had not yet healed.

"If it's not the Tang King, then who could it be?" The Prince of Zhennan turned his questioning gaze to a middle-aged Taoist priest with a somewhat Taoist air standing next to Zhong Laosan. "Master Dawu, what do you think?"

"Your Highness, this matter is not difficult to see through." Master Dawu smiled slightly: "The occurrence, process, and result of every event are different, and the methods used are also different, but one thing is certain."

"What is it?" Seeing Master Dawu's habitual smile, the Prince of Zhennan knew that his top strategist had already found the answer.

"The person who reaps the rewards after each event is the planner of the event, or at least has a great deal to do with it." Master Dawu said, "Your Highness, think about it, why would that mysterious expert impersonate someone from the Yuwen family to oppose us? Who benefits the most from such an outcome?"

"Ah! That's it... If we fight against the Tang King's faction, only the Prince of Chu will benefit!" Zhong Laosan's mind worked quickly, and he immediately blurted out.

"It's not the King of Chu!" Master Dawu shook his head.

"Didn't you just say that whoever benefits is the most suspicious?"

"That's true, but Third Brother, you haven't considered the whole picture... If our two families fight, the King of Chu won't be the only beneficiary!" Master Dawu sighed. "I really hope it's not him!"

"Who is it?" Third Brother Zhong asked urgently.

"The Emperor!" It was the Prince of Zhennan who hadn't spoken for a long time who answered, his face ashen. "I didn't expect him to finally make a move. If I'm not mistaken, it should be that 'Lord Lanting' who handled this matter. Master Dawu, is that right?"

"Yes, Your Highness is wise!" Master Dawu nodded. "But Your Highness needn't worry, this person is new to the game and is not yet a threat—just look at his troop movements in Yizhou County, that's his biggest mistake. Since the Emperor has taken action, we shouldn't be lenient either! Your Highness, I have a plan to get rid of this 'Lord Lanting,' but it will require Your Highness to suffer a little..."

July 4th, 42nd year of Ieyasu.

Inside the White Horse Temple, the largest temple in the Great Yuan Dynasty, a special guest arrived in the abbot's room today—a young woman.

Normally, Buddhist sanctuaries are not allowed to trespass, especially not the abbot's quarters of the White Horse Temple. But in fact, this young woman in purple was now sitting opposite Abbot Ku Ye.

"Junior Sister, you must have had a long journey?" Abbot Ku Ye of the White Horse Temple addressed the woman in purple, holding a letter in his hand.

"Replying to Senior Brother, it wasn't tiring at all. The scenery on the mainland is quite different from ours, and I've certainly broadened my horizons considerably." The woman in purple's voice was as clear and melodious as a nightingale's. Although her face was veiled, revealing her delicate skin and demeanor, she was clearly a vibrant young woman.

Why, given the significant age difference, did the young woman in purple respond so readily to Abbot Ku Ye's address?

"Junior sister, how is our senior sister? Since taking over Baima Temple, I have been busy with worldly affairs and have not had the opportunity to visit our senior sister or listen to her teachings. Please convey my remorse to her."

If outsiders were to overhear Ku Ye's words, they would be utterly astonished. Ku Ye, already the foremost figure in the Great Yuan Buddhist sect, actually still had a senior martial uncle alive? Judging from his respectful attitude, that senior uncle was clearly far more capable than him.

"Master is doing well, Senior Brother, there's no need to worry." The purple-clad girl's alluring eyes suddenly flashed with a dazzling light. "Senior Brother, I heard… Master's 'Dancing Star Sword' has reappeared in the martial world?"

"…" Ku Ye asked in astonishment, "Could it be that this sword isn't with Senior Uncle?… Impossible! With Senior Uncle's martial arts skills, who in this world could steal anything from her?"

The "Dancing Star Sword" was Senior Uncle's personal treasure, never leaving her side—if it weren't for the personal letter he held, and the token in the purple-clad girl's hand, Ku Ye would have doubted her true identity.

"Senior Brother, you misunderstand!" The purple-clad girl smiled through her veil, but…! Ku Ye's decades-long Buddhist heart was stirred, and he silently chanted "Amitabha" repeatedly in his heart.

"The 'Dancing Star Sword' was bestowed upon my eighth senior sister by my master twenty years ago for her to use in the martial world. But something happened, and my eighth senior sister never returned, and the 'Dancing Star Sword' disappeared without a trace. It wasn't until recently, when my senior brother sent Juan'er with a letter, that my master learned the 'Dancing Star Sword' had reappeared in the martial world. That's why she sent me to find my eighth senior sister's whereabouts and retrieve the 'Dancing Star Sword'."

"I see!" Ku Ye nodded, thinking to himself that this made sense.

"Then please tell me the details again, senior brother."

"Okay..."

[Episode 6: Yizhou Defense and Attack] Chapter 5: A Sudden Turn It

was the 8th day of the 7th month of the 42nd year of Ieyasu's reign, morning.

I crawled out from among my wives' pink legs and beautiful arms, my back aching.

Yesterday was "Qixi Festival," said to be the day when two celestial beings meet, thus becoming a festival for lovers on earth. At Lu Jie's pleading, I gave Chun Ya, Qiu Bi, and the Jing Gong sisters a day off so they could go shopping for things women like.

Unexpectedly, my husband and I spent the entire day in bed.

Aside from a little food, these wolves and tigers were constantly "fighting" with me in bed. Even the most refined Lu Jie willingly accepted the young master's semen three times through her anus, not to mention the frenzy of the Jing Gong sisters, Chun Ya, and Qiu Bi.

In the end, the girls were not only covered in thick, white fluid, but there wasn't a single spot on their bodies that hadn't been trampled and played with.

Look! The most "miserable" Qiu Bi and Chun Ya still have frighteningly swollen and red buttocks covered in teeth marks. Even after a night, their anus is still large enough to fit a finger.

However, the seasoned "flower-loving veteran" wasn't much better off. My body was covered in scratches, teeth marks, and my wives' vaginal fluids. Even my once invincible "Tyrannosaurus Rex" was nearly chafed raw from countless intense frictions.

Tch! I don't know if it's because I haven't had a "battle of the intestines" in so long, but after only twenty-odd ejaculations, I already felt a bit weak this morning—something I've never experienced since mastering the eighth level of the Heavenly Demon Art!

Alas, it's a pity Si Xiqiong went back to Miao territory a few days ago, otherwise I would definitely have eaten this super beauty yesterday!

Strangely enough, although this little girl basically curses me a few times a day and constantly opposes the Liu family's young master, her image in my heart is becoming clearer and clearer. But thankfully, she'll be back; she promised Mei'er and Cai'er.

"With me here, you won't be able to bully those little sisters, hmph!" The beautiful woman's seemingly reluctant words before leaving still echoed in my ears.

Even if the "Third Beauty of the Martial World" didn't fall in love with me, young master, at least my shadow remained in her heart—this was a good start.

I was confident that sooner or later, this pure and beautiful girl would use her lovely little mouth to suck my big meat stick!

"Your Highness, General Lü Luguo has important business to discuss."

Just as I was lost in thought about how Si Xiqiong would be pleasing me, the voice of Lu Cun, the head steward of the Lu family, rang out untimely outside the room.

Why is Lü Luguo here? Could it be that something has happened in the capital again? As I pondered this, I struggled to jump off the bed from the flower garden, dressed, and hurriedly went to the living room downstairs at the Peony Pavilion.

"Greetings, Your Highness!" Lü Luguo was dressed in casual clothes, with a round straw hat beside him.

"Get up and speak!" I had a bad feeling. "What happened?"

He didn't bring any servants, and he was dressed in casual clothes and using a straw hat to cover himself. If he came to see me like this, something serious must have happened.

"Your Highness is wise," Lü Luguo said calmly. "It's past dawn, and an urgent dispatch from the Ministry of War has arrived. It orders me to return to my post in Shangmu County. This wouldn't normally be a big deal, but the Ministry of War's edict, citing 'rioting,' orders me to take all the troops from Yizhou County with me.

Moreover, I happened to see that Prefect Ma also received an urgent dispatch from the Ministry of Justice. It says that cult activities have been frequent recently, so the Ministry of War has ordered all yamen runners, palace guards, and security personnel in all counties and prefectures of Yizhou County to never leave their posts without authorization. Those who disobey will be dismissed and executed, and their superiors will also be implicated..."

Lü Luguo paused, then continued, "I left my post without permission to report this to Your Highness. Military orders are hard to disobey, so I must leave now... I hope Your Highness will take good care of yourself!" With that, he bowed, and without waiting for my reply, left the room, mounted his horse, and galloped away.

The message has been made clear enough! Someone wants to get rid of me!

Lü Luguo's risky trip here is a testament to the "Creation Pill" I gave him that day. It seems winning people's hearts does indeed have many benefits! If it weren't for his tip, I might have been trapped in Yizhou County!

Hmph! The Ministry of War under the Zhennan Prince and the Ministry of Justice under the Tang Prince—these two old enemies have actually joined forces. Are they planning a fatal blow to my power in Yizhou County?

By either consolidating their forces or banning unqualified officials and servants—this shows that the two princes have reached a consensus to use the power of the martial arts world to keep me permanently in Yizhou County.

Since what's happening in Yizhou is a martial arts conflict, even if they pretend not to know and eliminate me, Emperor Kangzong can't do anything to them. Next, the Fu family and the Yuwen family will launch a full-scale attack, right?

No wonder the court spies received intelligence that a large number of disloyal people in Shangmu County were plotting a rebellion. This caused Li Ruoshui and Jin Zihu to hastily lead their spies to rush towards Shangmu County a couple of days ago.

Such a plot to rebel is not to be ignored; if something like this happens in anyone's jurisdiction, they will definitely lose their official positions, or even their heads!

At the time, I didn't pay any attention, but now I realize it must have been the two princes' arrangement.

If that's the case, even if Li and Jin realize they've been tricked after arriving there, they will be held back by the two princes' schemes and orders, unable to return for a while.

Coincidentally, five days ago, Kyotaro, whose injuries had improved, received news of Prince Keimiya Hideyoshi's critical illness and had already led the experts of "Kibu-kaku" to Prince Keimiya and his mother.

The power of the imperial spies, ninjas, and Japanese samurai is no longer usable. I don't have many experts at my disposal, and my men aren't fully trained. It's too late to summon more experts...

Damn it! Give me ten more days to prepare, and I'll definitely beat you all to a pulp!

But I also know that the enemy is eyeing this time difference. If I had so many experts by my side, they wouldn't dare to come.

Unless they're idiots, the enemy won't give me that much time. At most three days, they'll launch a full-scale attack.

When they're certain that Lü Luguo can't turn back to rescue him, that's when the enemy will attack!

A fierce battle is imminent!

Escape? Are you kidding me? Young Master Ri will do anything, but not desert.

Damn it, at worst, I'll fight them to the death. Although many ants can kill an elephant, it depends on how ruthless the ants are and how fierce the elephant is! Since we don't have enough manpower and experts, and we can't fight head-on, I'll defend instead of attacking.

I'll use this one or two days of buffer time to build the Lu family into an impregnable fortress, using its strong defenses to withstand the offensive momentum of the Fu and Yuwen families, and then using the terrain advantage to launch a timely counterattack. That way, we still have a 50% chance of winning.

Damn it, aren't we supposed to be cunning and treacherous demons? "I'll show you famous sects what a river of blood looks like!"

As my killing intent and demonic energy surged, countless poisons and traps of the Demonic Cult flashed through my mind, and a cold smile unconsciously crept onto my lips.

My Demonic Cult's ruthless killing moves are finally about to be unleashed!

Without further ado, I quickly summoned Lu Zhong and the others, informing them of the gravity of the situation.

After receiving their full support and promises of fighting to the death, I ordered the three stewards, including the Grand Steward Lu Xigu, to settle the women, children, and the elderly. I then sent Lu Zhong to fetch the poisons and weapons I had purchased recently to the training ground, and I myself appeared before the hundred-plus men standing there.

"You!" I pointed at the burly men standing before me. They had already been informed of the impending attack by the Yuwen and Fu families, and most of them wore expressions of helplessness and indignation.

I coldly said, "With your current strength, dealing with these two powerful families is like throwing a stone into a haystack. In just a quarter of an hour, the Lu family's decades-long foundation will be seized by them. At that time, not only will you all be killed, but your wives and wealth will also be taken over by them!"

Hearing my words, all the Lu family members, including Lu Zhong, lowered their heads in dejection, and a gloomy atmosphere spread.

The twelve members of the Wang family beside me also looked very dejected. If the 120 men present were not this bunch of scoundrels, but genuine members of the Wang family, then this battle would still be a fight.

But now... "The proud and strong-willed ones could only stare blankly at the handsome "Lord Lanting" in the arena.

I was satisfied with the effect I had created, and changed the subject, saying, "However, defeating them is not entirely hopeless—it all depends on whether you have the determination to sacrifice."

First, let them be in a state of despair and sorrow, and then give them their only lifeline. I don't believe they won't take the bait. Sure enough, everyone quickly raised their heads, their eyes filled with light as they looked at me.

They all knew my kung fu was exceptional. Before this, I had single-handedly wiped out all the masters of the Great Saber Sect, and tirelessly fought for the Lu family, truly deserving the title of their guardian deity.

Everyone shared a strange feeling: as long as this son-in-law was around, the Lu family still had hope!

They had been humiliated long enough, which was why these 120 disciples practiced so relentlessly every day. But they also knew their own limitations: surpassing the Fu or Yuwen families wouldn't be a matter of a day or two. They couldn't escape this time, and they couldn't win a fight; their tragic end was already sealed.

My timely offer of a lifeline ignited their cold hearts—a man's duty is to defend his homeland, to stand firm against humiliation, and to roam the world freely.

"Your Highness, just say the word! As long as we can defeat those shameless bastards, we'll risk our lives!" the three Lu family kings exclaimed in unison.

In the past twenty-odd days, under my grueling training, they had become able to fight the Wang family's masters to a standstill, making them near-first-rate experts in the martial world. Therefore, they had great confidence in me. Although the Lu family soldiers below didn't interrupt, their eyes told me everything. They all wanted to protect their families and defend their homes!

"Good! That's what makes a true Lu family man!" I laughed. "I have a pill that can unleash your physical potential. After taking it, each of you can reach the level of your instructors within a day. However... after the effects wear off, you will suffer unbearable pain and aftereffects, and the price may even be your life. If that's the outcome, are you still willing to take the pill?"

Whether it was due to excessive intelligence or sheer stupidity, as soon as I finished speaking, the three Lu brothers lined up and knelt before me: "Please, Your Highness, grant us the medicine!" "

Please, Your Highness, grant us the medicine!" This was followed by the unified shout of a hundred and ten men.

The pill I mentioned was called "Xiaoxiang Pill," a pill developed by my master based on the principles of the "Blood Demon Remnant Body Technique" to forcibly enhance one's power. Of course, its requirements for users are not as strict as the "Blood Demon's Remnant Body Technique," and its side effects are not fatal. Therefore, its corresponding effects are not as domineering as the "Blood Demon's Remnant Body Technique," only increasing one's power to three times.

After taking the "Xiaoxiang Pill," the medicinal effect will dissipate within the time it takes to drink half a pot of tea, and I think four hours of medicinal effect is more than enough. With three times the strength, the Lu

family disciples, combined with the formation and joint attack, will be able to withstand the enemy. "Your Highness... why aren't there any for us?" The three Lu brothers spoke. I distributed the "Xiaoxiang Pill" to everyone, but not to the three of them.

"You don't need it." I led them into the room, looking at the three excited and bloodthirsty young faces, and said, "Compared to using medicine, another method is more effective."

"Thank you for your guidance, Your Highness." The three were unaware of what was going on and were overjoyed.

I reached out and quickly pressed eighteen major acupoints and twenty-nine ordinary acupoints on their bodies.

"Ah!" An excruciating pain surged forth, and a wave of heat spread through their bodies, causing the three Heavenly Kings of the Lu family unbearable agony.

"Your Highness... what is this?" Lu Tianxian asked, trembling.

"This is a secret technique of the Demonic Sect. I am currently stimulating your potential. As long as you can endure it, your power will increase fivefold in seven hours. The effect will last for one day, and afterwards you will only experience pain for a month without any other aftereffects," I said calmly.

"Ah? Seven hours?" Although the three knew I wouldn't lie to them, the pain and burning sensation were becoming increasingly unbearable, making them wish they could kill themselves to escape this torment.

Knowing they couldn't hold on any longer, I didn't spare them. Instead, I coldly said to them, "Think about it: if the Lu family falls, your brothers, sons, and nephews will all be killed, their heads hung at the door; your wives, daughters, and nieces will all be defiled to death. The Lu family will become ruins, and there will be no more Lu family..."

Upon hearing this, the three Heavenly Kings' eyes narrowed, and they clenched their teeth tightly, refusing to utter a sound no matter how much pain they were in.

I nodded slightly. Although they were thugs, they were still capable men!

As night fell and the city lights began to twinkle, it was time to rest, but the vast Lu family compound was still bustling with activity.

I've dispatched spies in all four directions—east, west, south, and north—covering the area from twenty miles outside Rong County to within the county itself. My orders to them are to spread the word at all costs; even if a cockroach wanders into the Lu family's territory, you must report it. I believe that with the combined forces of the Fu and Yuwen families, they shouldn't be able to escape the surveillance.

Of all the people, the busiest is Young Master Liu.

"You, put the 'Five Poisons Powder' in the hidden compartment in the tree…you, bury the 'Poison-Dissolving Powder' under the flowerpot over there…you, tighten the rope, don't let the throwing knives slip…"

I hold a small booklet in my hand, directing them as they set up the traps.

The booklet is titled "Demon Destroys All Things," containing countless defensive classics from the Demonic Sect over the years. Those included in this booklet are all deadly traps that have withstood numerous tests, defeating even the most reputable sects. The

trap I'm setting up now is the third-ranked one, the "Primordial Chaos Formation," best suited for defense against the weak.

Hmph, if I were to bring the ninjas back, let alone the strongest "Chaos Annihilation Formation," at least the second-ranked "Chaos God-Slaying Formation" could be deployed.

Master mentioned that back then, relying on the "Chaos God-Slaying Formation," a mere 83 disciples of the Demonic Sect annihilated 529 masters of the Holy Gate—how impressive!

The reason ninjas can replace long-term trained personnel is because they are born messengers of darkness, ghosts living in the shadows.

Master also said that if two equally skilled masters fought in the dark, the ninja would inevitably win.

This is because ninjas are adapted to darkness from a young age and have an innate aversion to light—though my two twin beauties are an exception. Although their ninja skills are formidable, they haven't undergone such brutal training. Their masters, because they are princesses, haven't used many cruel training methods on them.

Strictly speaking, our current manpower and strength are not capable of deploying the "Chaos Primordial Formation." Because apart from myself, the experts from the Lu family and even the Wang family knew very little about formations or mechanisms.

Familiarity with formations and teamwork are key to defeating superior numbers.

The eighty-three demonic disciples who set up the "Chaos God-Slaying Formation" back then practiced for ten years before finally defeating numerous holy sect experts at the opportune moment.

Fortunately, with Young Master Liu as the "super formation eye," the "dynamic attack" function of the "Chaos Beginning Formation" cannot be fully utilized, but its "static defense" can be fully exploited.

In "static defense," the "Chaos Beginning Formation" is different; its "formation eye" is mobile. As long as the "formation eye" doesn't fall, the enemy has no way to deal with it.

Therefore, the requirements for the "formation eye" are naturally very high, demanding top-notch skill, reaction time, and strategy. To put it bluntly, it's a true fire brigade—"unkillable, tireless, with eyes and ears everywhere."

According to the strategic allocation of the "Primordial Chaos Formation," the first element is the "inanimate objects." A total of 662 packets of poison powder, 912 poisoned throwing knives and darts, and 3,125 poisoned arrows were placed in 97 large trees, 86 plots of land, and 153 empty corners of houses.

The second element is the 120 disciples of the Lu family, who serve as auxiliary elements to the "inanimate objects," hidden around the traps and mechanisms.

This way, in addition to the enemy triggering the mechanisms, they can also actively control the traps to attack the enemy. Because their skills are relatively shallow, their attacks from the shadows are particularly effective.

Finally, 20 experts from the Wang family are stationed in four directions, acting as "minor array eyes" besides myself to maintain the formation's operation.

The Jing Gong sisters, Chun Ya, Qiu Bi, and the three Lu family kings, who understand the formation better than the Wang family experts, provide central support, ready to deal with any emergencies.

The skill and ninjutsu of the Jinggong sisters are evident to all, but when I entrusted the same heavy sword to Chun Ya, Qiu Bi, and the three kings of the Lu family, the Wang family experts clearly showed doubt.

"Just wait and see, our Demonic Sect's secret training will surprise you!" I smiled without explanation.

"Your Highness is wise!" They dared not raise any doubts. Even if I said Lu Zhong should fight, the Wang family experts had no choice but to fight to the death.

As one of the three heroes of the continent and the first martial arts family of Liufeng Kingdom, the Wang family members are very willing to sacrifice themselves. They know that if they lose today's battle and I am killed, even if they manage to escape, they will be hunted down by the whole world, and the Wang family's good days will be over—the Imperial Duke and the Empress's nephew, either of these identities is extraordinary, and together they are even more powerful!

If I die but they live, the Wang family will definitely be implicated! If they also die in battle, then at least they fought to the death, and the Wang family will not be blamed too much.

The best-case scenario is that we escape this calamity, and the Wang family members who fought to the death will surely gain the favor of Lord Lanting, which will be of great benefit to the Wang family.

Therefore, no matter the outcome, they only have one path: to kill the enemy with all their might! Even if it means sacrificing their lives!

It was the ninth day of the seventh month in the forty-second year of Ieyasu's reign, in the morning.

After eight consecutive hours of troop deployment and drills, everyone was exhausted.

Last night, the scouts in the distance did not find any trace of the enemy, which gave us time to basically complete our deployment. All that remained was to meet them head-on!

At this moment, the women who had been hiding in the underground chamber also came out and used the available ingredients to make delicious food, which they served to everyone.

Lu Jie carried two small bamboo baskets, filled with red bean cakes, black glutinous rice, congee with preserved egg and lean meat, sausage rolls, spring rolls, and fried dough sticks. She took out one delicious treat after another from the fragrant and exquisite baskets, but gave them all to the Jing Gong sisters, Chun Ya, Qiu Bi, and the three kings of the Lu family. I, the young master, received nothing.

"Jie'er...do you want your husband to starve to death?" I glared maliciously at the Lu brothers as they wolfed down their food, wishing I could snatch it away.

"No...no!" Lu Jie smiled, her beautiful eyes crinkling, and gently took a large bowl of steaming dumplings from the bottom of the basket, placing it in front of me.

As soon as she took it out, a rich, delicious aroma wafted up. I took the bowl and saw that the dumplings had been cleverly shaped into little white rabbits, floating lifelike on the broth, with a few pieces of green vegetables sprinkled around them, making them even more charming.

"Jie'er is so good!" Tempted by the delicious food, I smiled broadly and took the dumplings, imitating the Lu brothers before me, swallowing two in one bite, and finishing the whole bowl in a few bites.

"Is it good?" Lu Jie playfully cupped her face, looking at me gently.

"Mmm! Okay..." I drank the thick soup with gusto until not a drop was left, then regretfully put down my chopsticks. "It's just a little too little!"

"Ah?... Just this one bowl? Miss spent two hours simmering it, and you still think it's not enough, young master!" The pretty maid beside me pouted and whispered.

"Don't be so talkative!" Lu Jie gently pinched the maid's cheek, then turned to me and said, "Hehe, if you like it, brother, I'll make you a big pot next time!"

Seeing her lover praise her efforts all morning, the beauty felt as happy as if she had drunk honey, her cheeks beaming with round dimples, utterly charming. At this moment, all fatigue was irrelevant, because the sweetness and joy in her heart were enough to offset all weariness.

"Your Highness!" Just as Lu Jie and I were lost in our sweet romance, Lu Zhong, accompanied by three stewards, rushed up to me, looking anxious.

"What is it?" I put down my bowl, gesturing for them to calm down.

Lu Zhong, however, remained anxious, saying, "Your Highness, we've discovered a very serious problem: if the enemy uses fire, won't all our preparations be wasted? In that case, they won't even need to come in to fight; they can simply use crossbows to guard the outside when the fire starts and wipe us all out!" "

Heh, you're overthinking it," I said dismissively. "Have you even looked at the terrain and surrounding buildings?"

"..." The four heads of the Lu family exchanged glances, speechless.

This was understandable; their minds were usually focused on developing commerce, and they had no interest in observing such things.

"Your Lu family's house is located behind the bustling streets of Rong County's eastern city, facing south, in a favorable location. Closely adjacent to it on the left and right are the residences of thirty-eight wealthy merchants in the city, while the front and back are the city's most prosperous restaurants, inns, and trading hubs. Have you noticed that among the hundreds of buildings in this enclosed area, not a single one is a brick or tile house? They are all expensive wooden houses—what does this signify?"

Young Master, how could I have set up this "Primordial Chaos Formation" without any research?

"This means that the Fu and Yuwen families, fearing the consequences, will most likely not resort to fire!" Lu Jie, the "Number One Talented Woman of Yizhou," chimed in. "Father, don't worry. If the houses in this area are destroyed, Yizhou's commerce will suffer heavy losses. Neither the county magistrate nor the prefect can bear that responsibility. So, to avoid government intervention, they won't do anything that would incite public outrage… Besides, they don't take our Lu family seriously. Against these two great families, in a direct confrontation, the Lu family would be utterly vulnerable!" "

But… what if…" The mature Lu Zhong hesitated.

"You mean what if they use fire?" I said with a smile. "Then I'm helpless. Besides running away with my wives, even a god couldn't help!"

"Huh?"

[Episode 6: Yizhou Offense and Defense] Chapter 6: A Mistake

What's meant to happen will happen. At dusk, after the scouts outside let out the cries of eagles, the Lu family members quickly consumed "Xiaoxiang Pills." Meanwhile, they concealed themselves in various hidden locations, ready to kill the enemy at any moment.

The three Lu brothers, sitting in the hall, were already restless, their eyes bloodshot as they stared at the dark night sky, their expressions filled with fervor. In contrast, Chun Ya and Qiu Bi appeared much calmer, while the Jing Gong sisters were indifferent, their eyes closed as if nothing was in front of them.

"I'm going out." Hearing the dense footsteps in the distance, I stood up and said to them, "Attack on my orders… If the enemy is too strong, use the formation to maneuver and await reinforcements; do not fight to the death."

Although I had forced them to memorize the advantageous hiding places within the formation, I still gave them a few more instructions, and only left after seeing them nod in agreement.

I didn't linger in the courtyard but directly leaped out of the Lu family mansion. As soon as my heels touched the ground, a dense crowd surged out from the end of the street. After a careful look, confirming that they were not carrying firearms or crossbows, I relaxed and smiled as I watched the Yuwen and Fu family allied forces rush towards me.

If the young master were them, they would definitely use fire attack without hesitation. One general's success is built on the bones of ten thousand; as long as victory is achieved with minimal losses, nothing is impossible. However, the enemy's miscalculation is our victory, which should be very gratifying news.

"Who are you?" the first man asked, as at least five hidden weapons attacked me.

Why waste words? I rolled up my sleeves and deflected the hidden weapons, causing a scream. With a palm strike, the questioner's head was smashed before he could even scream.

Facing the surging crowd, I pressed my advantage, unleashing my "Heavenly Demon Art." My body was filled with true energy, and I pounced into them like a tiger.

The allied forces were densely packed; many were killed with a single palm strike before they could even spread their arms and legs. However, my advance wasn't smooth sailing. After killing just over twenty, two powerful streams of true energy surged from my left and right sides.

I struck with both palms, and with a loud "Bang!" I was knocked back a step, while the two white-robed elders, their faces filled with disbelief, clutched their bleeding hands and staggered backward, knocking over several people before finally stopping.

Just as I was about to give them a good beating, three middle-aged men in purple robes, wielding swords, rushed towards me from the front, aiming their swords at my upper, middle, and lower body without a word.

I snorted coldly, and as their attacks wore off, I vanished like a ghost in front of them. When I reappeared, I was behind them, my left palm forming a blade, and with a swift swing, a flash of blood revealed three large heads, accompanied by screams.

"Mad Demon Flying Heaven!"

the experienced men exclaimed in unison, "It really is a demon from the Demonic Cult! Brothers, charge! For the justice of the martial world!" Shouting slogans of "justice" and "eliminate the demon from the Demonic Cult," the allied forces' morale rapidly increased.

"Give me your life!"

Five more purple-robed elders appeared before me, their expressions ferocious, surrounding me in a five-element formation. They cleaved through the air with palm strikes, raining down on me. These five were incredibly powerful, far surpassing the previous ones; they were likely the masterminds.

"You...rush in!" Two wounded white-robed elders, seeing me surrounded, shouted fiercely, "Kill them all! Leave no one alive!" With their shouts, the crowd surged towards the walls of the courtyards, the sounds of battle echoing endlessly.

Alas! Within twenty moves, Young Master Ri could have broken their formation and killed them!

But the sounds of fighting and screams emanating from the Lu family mansion forced me back to reality.

I leaped up, pressing my legs against the incoming iron palms, unleashing a burst of fiery Yang energy, and vanished into the darkness of the Lu family mansion like a soaring eagle.

"You brats from the Yuwen and Fu families, come in and fight me again if you dare!" My voice rang clearly in the ears of everyone outside the courtyard.

After landing, I briefly observed the situation. I found that although the Lu family disciples had gained the upper hand with the help of formations, traps, and poisons, the experienced allied forces had overcome their initial panic and were gradually organizing their ranks, beginning a steady assault on the Lu family disciples lying in ambush in the darkness. They were

almost overwhelmed in no time. The poor Demonic Sect's "Creative Chaos Formation" was being so easily ruined by a group of novices. Fortunately, the Wang family's experts were fighting with all their might, reducing the pressure on their disciples who were getting close, while the eerie blade light that occasionally flashed from the ground kept the enemy from forgetting the presence of the Kazuya ninja.

"Kill!" Without hesitation, I channeled my Heavenly Demon True Qi and rushed towards the area with the most enemies.

Due to the vast difference in skill and strength, I slaughtered my enemies like lambs to the slaughter, relentlessly taking their lives. Every grab, every palm strike, every finger strike tore off a piece of their bodies.

Before I had even killed thirty people, the five purple-robed elders who had fought me earlier rushed in from outside the mansion.

After glancing around, they silently pounced on me. These old fogies, relying on their experience, formed a Five Elements Formation, surrounding me in the middle. Meanwhile, the two white-robed elders who had been injured earlier, along with two other elders, formed a Tai Chi Four Symbols Formation outside, complementing my attack.

Knowing the disparity in strength, they desperately entangled me, intending to launch a combined attack on me after their subordinates dealt with the weaker Lu family. Even if they couldn't kill me and retreated, they would have successfully completed their mission of "annihilating the Lu family," giving them something to report back. Their reinforcements quickly joined the battle.

The already unstable Lu family members were under immense pressure; I heard mostly their screams. The

Jing Gong sisters and the Wang family experts were firmly tied down, struggling to provide reinforcements, while I, the core of the formation who should have been moving around to help, was immobilized by the nine elders' desperate resistance.

Just as I shattered the Five Elements Formation, the Four Symbols Formation quickly filled the gap, and when the Four Symbols Formation struggled, the Five Elements Formation surrounded me again… The alternating attacks drained my energy—after all, they were scions of established families; it would take me at least a hundred moves to defeat them. The Lu family members and the "Primordial Chaos Formation," however, couldn't wait that long.

Despite the panic, I didn't lose my composure. After forcing back the Five Elements Formation once more, I let out a long roar like a dragon's cry, signaling the three Lu brothers and the two women of Chunqiu to move out. Immediately, five powerful roars of varying pitches responded from the main building. The three men and two women, who had been waiting impatiently, burst out of the windows and quickly joined the battle.

Just like before, wherever they went, screams of agony erupted from the enemy. Even as swords and blades pierced their bodies, they ignored their bleeding wounds and continued to wield their weapons, even more fiercely than before they were injured.

Although the allied forces were also seasoned veterans, they had never seen an enemy who could withstand swords and blades without feeling a thing. Gradually, their initially strong fighting spirit weakened, and their fear grew... With the addition of this unexpected force of the three Lu brothers and the two women of Chunqiu, the situation gradually tilted in another direction.

Suddenly, the two fugitive patriarchs of the Chunqiu family, Chun Zhongpen and Qiu Yu Ni, broke through the crowd and launched a joint attack on the three Lu brothers, who were on a fierce offensive.

Originally, the two had come with the Fu family to avenge the humiliation of being massacred by me the previous night. However, the outstanding performance of the Lu family members tonight, after entering the mansion, greatly surprised them.

They also realized that even with their significant progress, the Lu family was only temporarily avoiding collapse by relying on a mysterious formation to gather strength for a counterattack, and that the experienced and powerful allied forces would surely achieve final victory.

Just as they were about to break through the lines, three men and two women suddenly burst out from the main building. With their fierce attacks and terrifying resistance against swords and spears, they actually slowed the allied forces' offensive, and the battle was about to reach a stalemate.

This was very disadvantageous for them, because most of the allied forces' top experts were tied up there and unable to move.

Having learned from their previous painful experience, Chun Jupen and Qiu Yuni knew that the Lu family's son-in-law, whose martial arts were terrifyingly high, was not someone that the mere six elders of the Fu family and five elders of the Yuwen family could capture or kill. They had raised this issue many times before, but for some reason, the allied forces' high command had not adopted their suggestions.

If more top experts were used to restrain the enemy's leader, and it was just a contest of the lower ranks, the Lu family would certainly be no match for the allied forces. After dealing with the lower ranks, they could then launch a full-scale attack on the enemy's leader, and success would surely be achieved. Unfortunately...

But now was not the time to complain. The two exchanged a glance, and their years of tacit understanding led them to rush towards the three Lu family leaders who were engaged in a killing spree.

Hearing the change in the wind above him, Lu Tianluo looked up and saw the two leaders of the Chunqiu family. New and old grudges surged in his heart. After shouting, he abandoned his pursuit of the two middle-aged men beside him, leaped up, and met Chun Jupen's knife and Qiu Yuni's sword with both palms.

Chun Zhongpen and Qiu Yu Ni sneered, thrusting their weapons forward without flinching!

They thought to themselves, "Lu Tianluo, you're too audacious! Even if your martial arts have improved through evil magic, you can't possibly withstand our thirty years of internal cultivation!"

The instant Lu Tianluo's hands touched the swords, they suddenly transformed from palms into claws, forcefully gripping the blades. With a powerful twist, an irresistible surge of chilling true energy rushed into their bodies.

Chun and Qiu felt a jolt in their hands, and then their weapons slipped from their grasp. Before their horrified eyes, two finely forged weapons were snapped in two by Lu Tianluo's hands as easily as kneading dough.

Realizing the gravity of the situation, the two heads of the Chun and Qiu families quickly suppressed their surging bloodlust, unleashing their lightness skills, and retreated swiftly to the side with their numbers—several times faster than they had come.

Riding high on his morale, Lu Tianluo pressed his advantage relentlessly. His eyes gleamed with bloodlust. With a sharp shriek, he tossed aside the scrap metal in his hand, lightly touched the ground with his toes, and gave chase once more.

The three Lu brothers' inner strength came from the "Heavenly Demon True Qi," while their martial arts techniques were derived from the bewitching and unpredictable style of the "Demon Sect." If the "Heavenly Demon True Qi" was cultivated to a certain level, its vast

, supremely yang energy was enough to destroy any obstacle in its path. Techniques were irrelevant to them. However, the three Lu brothers' foundations were too weak; they couldn't reach the required level in the near future. Therefore, I chose to teach them the fastest and most suitable "Demon Sect" martial arts. The

"Demon Sect" excelled in lightness skills and finger techniques, and the speed of "Mad Demon Flying to the Sky" was far beyond what Chunqiu and his brother could match. Before they could react, Lu Tianluo had already flashed in front of them, gently touching their Baihui acupoints with two fingers.

"Bang!" The two leaders of the Chunqiu family fell heavily to the ground, their lives extinguished.

"Those who offend the Lu family shall die!" Lu Tianluo lifted the corpse of Yu Ren, roared madly, and then tore the two bodies apart.

The exploding blood blossoms drifted eerily in the wind, and Lu Tianluo, his entire body crimson, stood there like a demon from the Netherworld, no one daring to approach within three feet of him.

This act shocked everyone, creating a stark contrast in the morale of the two sides.

The allied forces' advance slowed further, while the Lu family steadied their position and desperately counterattacked.

With our situation greatly advantageous, the battle lines stretched out, and even the nine elders besieging me were beginning to panic; the connection between the two formations was no longer flawless. Meanwhile, I, in the center of the formation, looked in Lu Tianluo's direction and smiled bitterly to myself.

"Damn it, the effect seems a bit too strong!"

It was time to counterattack.

The power of an array lies in its ability to unite the strength of many to resist a far stronger enemy. Many martial arts masters have been trapped by intricate arrays, ultimately meeting their demise.

However, once the array is broken, the remaining scattered enemies are no longer a threat.

I had no time to think. Taking advantage of the nine elders' momentary panic, I rapidly increased my previously restrained power. My right palm slashed thirty-two times, unleashing a torrent of "Heavenly Demon True Qi" as scorching as the sun towards the two purple-robed elders closest to me.

"Bang!" Before they could even scream, they were cleaved into pieces, their blood and flesh splattering onto those around them.

I didn't glance at them again. I moved out of the Five Elements Array's range and swiftly struck the chest of a relatively weaker white-robed elder with my left palm. The powerful true qi burst into his body, and the elder's heart pierced through his back, flying out.

In an instant, the seemingly powerful Five Elements and Four Symbols Formation collapsed, leaving only my group attack.

When facing multiple opponents, the martial arts of the "Demon Sect" naturally come into play. I unleashed my full power with "Raging Demon Soaring Sky" and pounced on the remaining seven old men.

The two sides were already vastly different in strength, and in their panic, their power was reduced to less than 70% of their usual level.

My "Bewitching Demon Finger" bloomed like a flower petal, each piercing the enemy's body drawing a trail of dark red blood and taking a life with it. In

the time it takes to brew a pot of tea, the nine leaders of the invading forces were forever left on the Lu family's land.

As they died, they couldn't believe that all nine of them had been slaughtered by a young man in such a short time; and I, after killing them, didn't feel much sense of accomplishment.

What a joke! Young Master Ri is the greatest genius of the Demonic Sect in the last hundred years, breaking through to the eighth level of the "Heavenly Demon Art" at only seventeen. If these old men can't handle him, then he might as well retire from the martial world. How could he possibly collect all the beauties in the world?

When I challenged the leaders of the allied forces to a duel outside the mansion gate, I discovered that although their strength was formidable, it was far weaker than I had expected. The combined might of two of the top three powerful families in my Liufeng Kingdom should cause an uproar—such a seemingly harmless attack is definitely a trap.

Because of these concerns, I dared not launch a full-scale attack from the outset.

Moreover, before the main brawl began, I instructed the two ladies of Jinggong, who had come out early to cover my safety, to conserve half their strength and remain hidden.

If the Yuwen and Fu families had any backup plans or ambushes, after I exhausted their forces, where would I find the strength to deal with them? At that point, even escape would be impossible.

What? Running away isn't what heroes do? Have I, Liu Ri, ever claimed to be a hero?

If I don't survive, who will enjoy my beautiful wives and concubines, my gold and jewels?

Therefore, when facing a powerful enemy, escape is necessary; as long as you're alive, you can always rebuild!

After the three Lu family kings, whose power had been amplified tenfold by a secret technique, rampaged through the allied forces, even capturing and killing the heads of the Chun and Qiu families, I searched a three-mile radius around the area but still found no trace of the enemy. Although puzzled, I acted decisively, immediately killing nine elders with the ferocity of a tiger descending a mountain.

With the Lu family kings' desperate fighting, the situation was developing in our favor. However, the "Rakshasa Witches" trained by Young Master Ri were not as unstoppable as I had anticipated. Chun Ya and Qiu Bi clearly lacked experience. It seems I was too lenient with them. If they were genuine "Rakshasa Witches," hmph!

Shaking my head, realizing I couldn't bring myself to use such ruthless methods, I composed myself, let out a loud "Kill!", and rejoined the battlefield.

Receiving my counterattack signal, Jing Gongmei and Jing Gongcai no longer concealed their strength, wielding their incredibly sharp Fusang longswords, slicing through the heads of the allied forces like vegetables.

In an instant, countless heads were chopped off and sent flying into the sky—the two women had improved considerably in terms of swordsmanship precision and skill since their first meeting.

This was natural; the diligent young master of the Liu family had rigorously trained them both in and out of bed.

The brutal slaughter was even more terrifying. When I rushed into the densest part of the allied forces, they had lost their aggressive momentum and instead resembled the invaded, trembling as they raised their weapons to face me, their eyes filled with fear.

But I didn't care about that. I channeled my inner energy into my palms, specifically targeting the densest areas, striking two or three at a time, truly enjoying the slaughter.

"Huh?" After killing only a dozen or so, I noticed something strange: no matter how many I killed, the crowd in one area never dwindled, and not only did none of them join the fight, but they also ignored my slaughter of their comrades, continuously retreating towards the outside of the mansion.

Looking closer, I could vaguely make out someone surrounding them. Could it be…? A thought flashed through my mind, a smile playing on my lips. I leaped into the air, lunging towards the group.

In mid-air, I saw the answer I sought. Two handsome young men in fine clothes were being protected within the crowd, retreating in a panic.

“Can they escape?” When I landed, I was already among them. With a “whoosh,” I drew my sword. A flash of light, and the sixteen middle-aged men around me were all severed in two, lying on the ground.

Blood, which didn't have time to spurt out, quickly soaked the ground, including the brocade boots of the two pale-faced young men.

The “Dragon-Slaying Sword Technique” wasn't originally intended to be this cruel, but I deliberately increased the force of my strike, making what would have been a mere slit in the neck decapitate them.

I hadn't intended to kill them so crudely, but seeing the two handsome young men turn ashen with fear, their bodies trembling uncontrollably, I was certain of the necessity of my actions.

I glanced around the arena and saw the Lu family members leap out of their ambush, beginning to besiege the few remaining stubborn members under the command of the Wang family instructors. The Jing Gong sisters, Chun Ya, Qiu Bi, and the three Lu family kings, after clearing out the surrounding enemies, were also approaching me.

Although I hadn't killed them yet, the two elegantly dressed young men standing before me didn't dare entertain the slightest thought of escape. That ruthless attack had already terrified the two young masters.

The one on my left was shorter, handsome, and possessed the air of a dashing gentleman; the one on my right was slightly taller, with sword-like eyebrows and a square jaw, giving him a somewhat imposing appearance.

This was only if they hadn't been frightened; now, the two elegantly dressed young men were practically wetting themselves.

"How do you want to die?" As the crowd stood behind me, I slowly slid the bloodless "Heavenly Blade" across the shoulder of the shorter man. In the darkness, the cold light reflected in his eyes, making him tremble uncontrollably.

I then placed the same blade on the taller youth: "Who will die first, you or him?"

"Brother-in-law, why bother talking to him? Just chop him into ten or eight pieces and feed him to the dogs!" The speaker was Lu Tianluo, who was already slumped on the ground.

The three brothers' frenzied killing had prematurely exhausted their secret technique, leaving them too weak to stand and causing them to sit on the ground behind me.

"What's the rush? You can do it later." Smiling, I turned to the other side and said, "Shao Tianxian, send a few men to fetch my father-in-law and the stewards." "In front of outsiders, they dare not reveal my identity, and I cooperated very well."

"No! Don't!" Seeing Lu Tianluo's bloodthirsty eyes and recalling his cruelty in tearing Chunqiu and the other two apart, their legs went weak and they collapsed. "Please, don't kill us!"

In their pleas for mercy, all the light in their eyes had been lost.

The people behind me snorted coldly when they saw their disheveled appearance.

Jing Gongcai, who had removed her mask, shouted, "Brother, what are we waiting for? Why should we be polite to defeated soldiers? Let's just cut off their heads."

"I have my own ideas." I pulled Jing Gongcai to my side and wiped the sweat from her face. "Xiaotou, you and your sister go and rest first. I will visit some guests with you later."

[Episode 6: Yizhou Attack and Defense] Chapter 7: Decisive Decision

"Yes. Son-in-law, your judgment is correct. They are important figures from the Yuwen and Fu families." A ruthless glint appeared in Lu Zhong's eyes when I called him over. "The shorter one is Fu Juyu, the second young master of the Fu family, and the other is Yuwen Ke, the fourth young master of the Yuwen family."

"What are their status and favor within their families?"

"Both are spendthrifts, yet both are the most favored. Incompetent, typical examples of those who are more trouble than they're worth."

"Lu Zhong!" The two men slumped on the ground snapped back to reality and saw Lu Zhong.

Fu Juyu, for some reason, suddenly perked up, scrambling to his feet and pointing at Lu Zhong, shouting, "Lu Zhong, listen to me! Tell your men to release us, or our army will come and slaughter you! Release us, and you'll spare your whole family's lives!" He became more and more energetic, almost pointing his finger at Lu Zhong.

We all looked at each other in bewilderment. Who was the winner? Why was Fu Juyu acting like he was on drugs, suddenly so imposing?

Lu Zhong, however, said with a grim face, "Son-in-law, hand them over to me. I'm going to cut them into a thousand pieces!" He must have suffered a lot of humiliation in the Fu family before, and now he was about to explode.

"Lu Zhong, you... ah!"

Before he could finish speaking, I slapped him twice hard across the face, leaving his mouth swollen and red.

I smiled at Lu Zhong and said, "Father-in-law, please calm down. We can't kill these two right now..."

Hearing my words, Fu and Yuwen's faces immediately brightened. Yuwen Ke quickly stood up, and their eyes gleamed with arrogance.

"However..." I didn't let their happiness last long. I said to the puzzled crowd, "We can still entertain our guests."

With that, I leaned forward, grabbed their necks with both hands, and lifted them up like kittens. My tone suddenly turned cold as I said, "You two beasts, listen to me! If I hear you utter another word, I'll skin you alive! Do you hear me?"

The two of them plummeted from heaven to hell. The force of the choke was so great that their faces turned deathly pale, and they couldn't speak. They could only beg for mercy with pleading eyes.

Having seen enough of their fright, I snorted coldly and forcefully flung them both to the ground.

Only then could they manage a hoarse cry of pain—but dared not utter another harsh word.

"You ungrateful bastards!" I casually sealed nine major acupoints on their bodies and said to the three eager Lu brothers, "Go ahead and ravage them, but leave one of them alive!"

"Yes!" They happily agreed and pounced on them, beating the two pampered young masters in the simplest and most direct way.

"Cough cough, father-in-law, father-in-law, please stop..." I didn't expect everyone's reaction to be so enthusiastic. Besides the three kings of the Lu family, the three stewards of the Nanlu family also rolled up their sleeves and rushed forward. I only had time to pull Lu Zhong in front of me: "You should come into the main hall with me. I have something to discuss with you." "

Can't we discuss it after we've beaten them up?" Lu Zhong, dragged out of the scene by me, spoke with a hint of resentment in his voice.

After I firmly answered "no," he persisted, suggesting, "How about we have your mother-in-law and the other women fight for me?"

Me: "..."

"Father-in-law, if one day I have to ask you to give up your business in Yizhou and leave with me with your clan, would you be willing?" I asked bluntly as we entered the hall.

"You mean?" Lu Zhong's relaxed nerves tensed up again.

He was also a shrewd businessman, and immediately asked, "Is this related to Your Highness sparing the lives of those two young masters?"

"That's right!" I sat down, gesturing for him to sit as well, and then asked in return, "What were your original plans after this victory?"

"Of course, with Your Highness's support, we would first take over the Fu family's territory and influence in Yizhou County, and then, taking advantage of trade, directly expand our business throughout the entire Liufeng region... Of course, for generations, it has been the dream of my Lu family to have our banner planted in every corner of the Haimi Continent. I believe that with Your Highness's help, the Lu family will definitely move towards this goal step by step." As he spoke of his thoughts, Lu Zhong's short, stout body seemed to radiate a dazzling light.

"Oh?" I hadn't expected Lu Zhong's ambition to be so lofty. "Do you have the confidence to meet the challenges? The hardships ahead can't be overcome with just words." "

Originally, I, Lu Zhong, didn't dare to hope for such things, but ever since Jie'er submitted to His Highness, we've had a belief: if we follow in His Highness's footsteps, the Lu family will one day become famous throughout the continent! So even if His Highness wants us to go through fire and water, we'll go!"

"Hehe, father-in-law, I've always said you speak beautifully, and now I have to say, your words are truly endearing."

My words made Lu Zhong laugh, but his smile didn't last long. I immediately changed the subject: "We can't stay in Yizhou County any longer. If you really believe me, then leave with me and start anew."

"Lu Zhong is foolish, please explain in detail, Your Highness." Seeing me looking at him, Lu Zhong quickly added, "It's not that Lu Zhong doubts Your Highness's arrangements, but only after understanding your intentions can our Lu family better cooperate with Your Highness."

I nodded and said, "If I understand correctly, this surprise attack by the Fu family and the Yuwen family wasn't their true strength. It seems that the two pampered young masters acted on their own without consulting the two leaders, just to claim all the credit. If they come with a large force, how do you think we can resist?"

This practical test has indeed revealed the inadequacy of our strength; the hastily trained team is indeed far inferior to the centuries-old aristocratic families. If it weren't for Fu Juyu and Yuwen Ke's recklessness, I probably would have had to carry Lu Jie and my wives and flee as far as possible.

"Instead of squandering our resources, it would be better to preserve our strength and develop elsewhere, and then fight them when we have the ability, wouldn't it?" Lu Zhong wasn't stupid; he immediately understood my meaning. "Besides, with Your Highness's support, Liufeng is such a vast territory, even if there isn't a suitable place for the Lu family to rebuild..."

"Then do you have any other questions?" I noticed he seemed hesitant.

"However, since we've captured important figures from the Fu and Yuwen families, why not use them as leverage to demand a non-aggression pact between the two families? Wouldn't that be better?" Lu Zhong still harbored a regret about leaving Yizhou, where he had developed for decades. Although he acknowledged the feasibility of my plan and understood the urgency of the danger, he was still trying to find a better solution.

I sneered inwardly: Lu Zhong, in the end, you still want to preserve your independence and don't want to be too controlled by others!

Although they might have further development with my support in another place, as a condition, the Lu family's development decisions would be entirely controlled by me. In the long run, this is a double-edged sword, with both advantages and disadvantages. Therefore, in Lu Zhong's mind, who lacked confidence in controlling the future, it was clear that maintaining the status quo was best.

Everyone's thoughts are based on their own interests, which is understandable, but I also had my reasons for dragging Lu Zhong onto my ship.

In Yizhou Commandery, I aimed to crush the power of the Prince of Zhennan—the Fu family.

Simultaneously, I sought to cultivate my own agents—the Lu family.

Neither of these two original objectives was achieved. Without bringing back the Lu family's substantial commercial foundation and a group of capable and promising generals, my trip to Yizhou would have been a complete failure, aside from killing some people and gaining a bad reputation.

The Lu family was the largest merchant family in Yizhou Commandery; removing all their businesses would cripple half of Yizhou Commandery's commerce. This shift in power significantly increased my economic strength.

Among my people, Yuan'er, Tingting, and Yunfu are all shrewd and capable women; they would certainly excel in business. But even a hero needs three helpers. The Lu family, whose business has been passed down for generations, I brought back this time to provide them with valuable support.

Don't tell me developing commerce is useless. While it's true that this dynasty prioritizes agriculture over commerce, what can't be done without money?

Take military campaigns, for example. Inferior weapons lack impact; inadequate defensive and offensive supplies are useless; insufficient provisions and poorly fed soldiers are unacceptable; insufficient pay hinders morale; slow-moving, slow-paced horses are essential; and inadequate logistics and timely replenishment are equally problematic.

These crucial elements of war—weapons, supplies, provisions, pay, horses, and logistics—all require financial support.

In today's Sea of Mi Continent, a poor country absolutely cannot, and will not, win a major war. Just like two years ago, when Nangong Yuanyue of the Great Yuan Dynasty decisively defeated Hua Yun's 160,000-strong army, if Nangong Yuanyue hadn't avoided battle and held the strategic pass for four months, then taken advantage of the approaching winter when Hua Yun's supplies and military equipment were running low and soldiers were homesick, and launched a desperate night raid, how could the Great Yuan Dynasty have achieved its greatest military victory in nearly fifty years?

But I digress. In short, for Young Master Liu Ri's ambition to dominate the martial arts world and enjoy life, money is absolutely essential. Therefore, bringing back the Lu family this time, which will be beneficial for my future business development, can be considered a gain from this trip to Yizhou!

Regaining my composure, I saw Lu Zhong's slightly flustered face as I pondered, and I could only manage a wry smile.

Do you think it was easy for me?

This time, I achieved nothing and slunk back. I wonder what my father-in-law, the Emperor, who already had reservations about me, will think of me now. If he gets angry, it won't be resolved with just a few words. Not only will he not be able to marry the beautiful princess, but he might also lose his life to accompany his other wives and concubines!

"Father-in-law, your wish is to have the Lu family's businesses spread throughout the continent. But do you know what my ambition is?" Looking at Lu Zhong, who was shaking his head, I said, "I am different from you. Father-in-law, you only care about the current family business in Yizhou, while I have my sights set on the entire world of commerce and martial arts!"

"The entire world?" Lu Zhong covered his mouth, his hand trembling slightly.

"Achieving a great career is like going to war. The worst thing you can do is focus on the gains and losses of a single city or place!"

I naturally exuded an aura of authority, and when Lu Zhong met my eyes, he involuntarily shivered. I ignored him and continued, "If you, Father-in-law, are still clinging to this small family fortune instead of preserving your strength for a future comeback... then I'll have no choice but to take Jie'er and return to the capital first."

"Ah! Your Highness, you're abandoning the Lu family?" Lu Zhong understood my meaning, his face drained of color.

"No!" I said firmly, "It's just that you're unwilling to weather the storm with me. In this critical moment, I'm preoccupied with my own survival and have no strength to care for others." "

But..."

"No buts! If you can't support me in times of crisis, what right does the Lu family have to share in the glory of commerce and the martial arts world when we achieve wealth and power?" I spoke calmly, but the chilling tone was unmistakable.

I didn't explicitly point out that Lu Zhong wanted to exchange sincerity for peace, but rather went straight to the heart of the matter, revealing his desire to preserve his strength and his opportunistic, complacent mentality of seeking reconciliation at the first opportunity.

This is the nature of a businessman—always wanting to gain the greatest profit at the lowest cost! Therefore, throughout history, the rulers who established a nation were never merchants, but rather generals with outstanding military achievements.

Knowing he had reached a crucial moment, Lu Zhong quickly smiled and said, "Your Highness has truly misunderstood me... Since Your Highness has made your decision, I will immediately begin preparations for the retreat. Does Your Highness have any other instructions?" "

Within one day, try to transfer all the merchants without martial arts skills and their families to the magistrate's office in Wushuang County, Tuyi Prefecture. Say that I ordered them to go; also, try to settle the affairs of the properties and shops within two days; at the latest, our rearguard must depart for Wushuang County three days from now!"

Lu Zhong asked, "Won't the Fu family and the Yuwen family interfere and obstruct our actions?"

"I have my own methods... After sending their families away, Father-in-law, you take the managers and the twelve experts from the Wang family to handle the family businesses in Yizhou Prefecture. Afterward, you can go to Wushuang County on your own. Leave the rest to me." As soon as

Lu Zhong left, the Third Prince of the Lu family, looking exhausted but full of energy, rushed in.

Lu Tianluo, who had distinguished himself in the fight, excitedly asked, "Your Highness, where else can we fight?"

At that moment, the shouts of the Lu family's stewards and the voices of children and women could be heard outside the door, along with the sounds of horses and carriages in the distance. All of this indicated that the Lu family's retreat, under the command of their leaders, had begun in an orderly manner.

But a sudden feeling of frustration rose in my heart. The Lu family's retreat also represented my failure!

"Kill! Kill! Kill? All you know is how to chop people up!" I snapped, flicking a finger that pinned Lu Tianluo down. The icy true energy penetrated his body, making him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. To make matters worse, this true energy sealed his mute acupoint, preventing him from making a sound—a truly unbearable ordeal.

Lu Tianxian and Lu Tianxi, who had initially been happy but were now bewildered by my sudden outburst, were also stunned, unsure of what they had done wrong, and could only stand there, not daring to utter a word.

Despite their ruthlessness in the fight, they couldn't muster any temper in front of their master.

"Husband..." Just as the three brothers were at their wits' end, a crisp voice rang out at the door, putting their minds at ease.

I recognized Lu Jie's voice as a fragrant breeze wafted in, followed by a smooth body throwing itself into my arms, and the beauty's two delicate white hands naturally encircling my neck.

"Husband, why are you angry with your brothers?" The pretty girl lifted her face, found a comfortable spot on my shoulder to lean against, and asked sweetly, "I heard them say that the three brothers did a great job today, is that right, husband?" "

Hmph! Getting arrogant and complacent after achieving a little success, how can you accomplish anything great?" My eyes turned cold, my sharp gaze piercing the three of them, making them tremble with fear.

"Honey, don't be angry!" Lu Jie gently pressed her small hand against my chest. "Anger isn't good for your health! Overall, my brothers did a great job this time. Honey, could you release Second Brother's pressure points first?"

Seeing his wife's pleading expression, what could Liu Ri say? He could only release Lu Tianluo's pressure points.

Lu Tianluo had just been overexerted by the secret technique, relying solely on the joy of victory to sustain him.

My punishment only made his body more unable to withstand it, and he collapsed as soon as his pressure points were released. Fortunately, Tianxian and Tianxi nearby reached out and caught him.

"Wait!" Seeing the three of them preparing to leave, I took out a bottle of pills: "One pill each. Tomorrow, come with me to meet the real Fu family and Yuwen family's allied forces again!"
