[Wuxia] Sword's Hatred and Passion (Complete) - 32

Chapter 64 of Sword's Hatred and Passion: The Heavens Change

. Ao Xue opened her weary eyes, and the face that appeared before her was the smug smile of the Ninth Prince. Startled, she tried to circulate her energy but suddenly felt excruciating pain in her meridians and screamed, "Ah...ah...what have you done to me..."

Only then did Ao Xue realize that her body was suspended in the middle of a room, with countless transparent threads piercing through her skin and penetrating her acupoints, tangling in her meridians. Her right foot was in excruciating pain, but she couldn't see what had pierced it.

"You castrated dog...let me go, let me go...you're not a hero for betraying others..."

Ao Xue cursed angrily.

"Oh dear...how come you've suddenly become so tough, beautiful lady? Back when you were being tormented by those Demon King's Palace guys at the Blissful Palace, you were so humble. Do you think you can act so arrogantly in front of me just because I've always been polite to you?"

The Ninth Prince said sternly.

Ao Xue gritted her teeth and said, "I've had enough of the insults and deceptions from you bunch of stinking men. I won't beg for your mercy anymore. Torture me if you want, I've already endured all sorts of torture these past few days. You'd better just kill me... otherwise, I will definitely take revenge..."

"Oh... has this cowardly beauty suddenly become so fierce? Is it because your brother-in-law abandoned you?"

Jiu Qian Sui reached out and lifted Ao Xue's cute little chin.

"Pah..."

Ao Xue spat a mouthful of saliva on Jiu Qian Sui's face. Jiu Qian Sui didn't dodge or flinch, but instead stuck out his long tongue and licked the saliva off his face, tasting it, saying, "A beauty is a beauty, even her saliva is delicious..."

"You scoundrel, do it... how do you want to torture me... use whatever tricks you have..."

Ao Xue, already contemplating suicide, kept cursing Jiu Qian Sui, hoping to provoke him.

"Beauty, no need to waste your breath. I won't kill you. I'm too busy cherishing you to kill you. To be honest, my men are experts at torturing people, but I won't hand you over to them. I just want you to give me a child. That's not too much to ask, is it?"

The Ninth Prince stroked the gold ring on one of Ao Xue's large breasts.

"Oh... Damn it..."

Ao Xue felt a tingling sensation in her chest, and her body began to convulse uncontrollably, the convulsions causing unbearable pain.

"Beauty, you like wearing rings? You like being tortured? Ah... there's another ring here."

With that, the Ninth Prince pinched the gold ring on her labia with his other hand and gently pulled it, while simultaneously twisting her clitoris with two fingers...

"Mmm... Mmm... Ah... No..."

Ao Xue's lower body was the most sensitive to touch. Just this little manipulation caused her thighs to tremble violently, her jade feet to tense, and her mons pubis to quickly turn red and swell, as if the white fluid from a ruptured vulva was continuously gushing out.

"Hahaha...you can't shake your lewd nature...my lovely water fairy...it seems you're spraying even more intensely than before."

The Nine Thousand Years Old laughed, opening his mouth wide to greedily drink the gushing lewd fluid from Ao Xue.

"Ah...I hate it...no...ah..."

Ao Xue desperately twisted her jade-like body, but unfortunately, all her meridians were pierced by transparent threads, making it impossible for her to muster any internal energy. Stimulated by her lower body, her lewd fluids and essence gushed out like a flood, quickly swelling the Nine Thousand Years Old's belly.

"Good...good...the beauty's lewd fluids are still so sweet and delicious, and what's even more precious is that you're still a virgin..."

the Nine Thousand Years Old praised, enjoying the delicious nectar in his mouth.

"Castrate...castrate dog...you...don't...don't have that...give...give birth to a child..."

Ao Xue gasped, her body limp from the gushing fluids.

"Then I'll tell you a secret. Before I castrated myself, I sealed my essence into a crystal phallus and have preserved it until now, so that the woman I desire could bear me offspring. Now you are the right person..."

After saying that, the Ninth Prince took out a crystal phallus from his bosom. The phallus contained a pale yellow liquid, which was the male essence left behind by the Ninth Prince before his castration...

"You... no... no... I don't want to... please... I will die if I lose my virginity... I will die..."

Ao Xue would rather die than have this perverted monster's male essence, which he had preserved for decades, ejaculate into her body. At this moment, she could only plead with him softly.

"Weren't you so fierce just now? How come you've reverted to your old self so quickly? Beauty, stop pretending to be fierce... You're just a cowardly, weak woman by nature. Don't worry, I won't defile you, but you'll still get pregnant with my child."

As he spoke, the Ninth Prince unplugged the crystal phallus and thrust it into Ao Xue's wide-open vulva...

"Ah..."

Ao Xue screamed incessantly as she felt the foreign object enter her body. The crystal phallus forcefully pushed open her warm vaginal walls, its tip already reaching her hymen.

"No...no...I won't..."

Ao Xue desperately twisted and turned, trying to use the "Four Symbols Exorcising Evil Immortal Technique"

to strike down the Ninth Prince with lightning power. However, her meridians were restricted, and the transparent threads inside her body weren't conductive, only increasing her pain.

The Nine Thousand Years Old man aimed the tip of his penis at the center of Ao Xue's hymen, using his internal energy to probe the small opening on it. This opening, only the size of a little finger, was where a virgin's menstrual blood flowed out. As he channeled his energy, a fine stream of semen shot out from the tip of his penis, passing through the small opening and shooting deep into Ao Xue's uterus...

"Oh... ah... no... ah..."

Ao Xue felt a powerful liquid shoot through the small opening of her hymen and into her uterus. It was that monster's semen...

Ao Xue desperately twisted and turned, trying to shake that disgusting thing out, but how could the Nine Thousand Years Old man allow her to do as she wished? Under the control of his unparalleled internal energy, the semen accurately shot into Ao Xue's small uterus. He then pressed several acupoints on her lower abdomen, making it impossible for her to expel the semen from her body using her abdominal muscles.

That horrible liquid had completely entered her uterus and merged with her. No…no…Ao Xue was going crazy. She would rather die than bear this monster's child…

“Let me die…let me die…no…”

Ao Xue cried and screamed, her emotions almost hysterical. Tears, snot, and saliva kept flowing down her face, and blood began to seep from the skin where the silk threads were inserted. The Ninth Prince frowned and pressed a finger on her brow. Instantly, her eyes rolled back and she fainted.

The Ninth Prince slowly withdrew his crystal phallus, noticing that every last drop of his semen had flowed into Ao Xue's body. He nodded in satisfaction. "Good... With her physique, my son will surely be born with exceptionally strong bones and muscles, and will grow up to be the greatest martial artist in the world...

" The Ninth Prince gently stroked Ao Xue's pale face and said, "My beauty, it will be hard for you to bear my child. I will release you after the child is born..."

With that, he turned and left...

Opening several heavy iron doors, he stepped out of the lowest level of the Eastern Depot's prison, a place specifically for prisoners with high martial arts skills. The Ninth Prince left the prison with his hands behind his back and returned to the main hall, where he saw Zhang Ruoshui and a young boy in green waiting.

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. I am honored to greet you,"

the Ninth Prince said with a smile, clasping his hands in a fist salute.

"Oh, oh..."

Zhang Ruoshui hurriedly returned the greeting, saying, "Your Excellency's victory over the treacherous party, defense of the capital, and defeat of the Demon King's Palace is truly an unparalleled achievement..."

"That is all thanks to you, sir, for your forbearance and timely intelligence, which enabled us to defeat them in one fell swoop. You deserve much credit, sir..."

The Ninth Prince pointed at the boy in blue and said, "You are the true Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Poisons, aren't you? Who was the one who died in the Li Mansion?"

The boy in blue smiled and said, "Reporting to the Ninth Prince, I am indeed the true Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Poisons. The one who died in the Li Mansion was actually my junior brother, the Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Poisons. He challenged me and was defeated by me. After that, I implanted the Seven Emotions Gu into him and manipulated him to impersonate me. I, on the other hand, cultivated the Heavenly Silkworm Demon Art. Because this art is extremely difficult to cultivate and requires a mind free of distractions, I had this puppet take my place to manage the overall situation. Over the years, I have been cultivating in secret places and my body has recovered to the age of a teenager. So I simply pretended to be a servant boy and secretly took charge of the overall situation in the sect."

"I see. No wonder when I saw you last time, I felt that your eyes were very different from those of a teenager and that you were a peerless master. I didn't expect that you were the true Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Poisons. When your divine skill reaches its peak, you must have a good spar with me..."

The Ninth Prince nodded.

"My martial arts are no match for Your Majesty's..."

the Demon Lord hurriedly said with a smile.

"Your Heavenly Silkworm Demon Art is quite powerful. You can generate Heavenly Silkworm Silk from your body. This silk runs through the meridians of the great beauty's entire body, rendering her unable to move. It's really interesting. When you achieve your goal, you mustn't let me have the chance to spar with you..."

the Nine Thousand Years Old said.

"Your Majesty, I heard that the rebels of the Li family have all broken up and withdrawn from the capital. Feng Wutian has also taken his wife and daughters and left the capital for the north. The Demon King's Palace and its people have basically been executed. I wonder what Your Majesty's plans are next?"

Zhang Ruoshui asked.

"Hmph, the likes of the Li family are just clowns. I doubt they can cause any major trouble. But the Demon King's Palace actually created such a terrible thing that almost destroyed the capital. Now that the capital is in such a state, I have to figure out how to explain it to the Emperor. But I can't tell him directly. He won't believe me anyway. I can only say it was a calamity from heaven. I'm afraid he'll have to spend a lot of money again..."

the Nine Thousand Years Old sighed.

"That young lady, Your Highness intends to..."

Zhang Ruoshui deliberately brought up Ao Xue.

"She will bear me an heir, and after that... we'll talk about it later... I'll have to entrust this matter to you, Mr. Zhang." The Ninth Prince

cupped his hands and said. "

Your Highness, rest assured, I will ensure the child is born safely, and it will be a child with exceptional talent..."

Zhang Ruoshui said.

"Good... If you can help me have a child, I will reward you handsomely. Whatever your request, as long as I can fulfill it, I will grant it..."

The Ninth Prince was overjoyed and promised a generous reward.

Zhang Ruoshui knelt down with a look of delight and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty..."

"Hmm... Sir, your medical skills are superb. Why don't you enter the palace first? I recommend you to be the imperial physician and treat His Majesty's health. After all, His Majesty trusts me greatly, which is why I have everything I have today. Protecting His Majesty's health is of paramount importance." The Ninth Prince said solemnly. "Your Majesty, rest

assured

, with me here, His Majesty will surely be healthy and live a long life..."

Zhang Ruoshui nodded repeatedly.

After returning to the Zhang residence and dismissing the servants, Zhang Ruoshui pressed a switch under the bed. A moment later, a door opened on the right wall. He took three steps in two and went inside, then the hidden door closed.

Zhang Ruoshui entered the secret passage and climbed the stairs for several dozen feet before opening the hidden door leading to the exit. Outside was a mansion behind the Zhang residence, belonging to a wealthy family in the capital. Zhang Ruoshui went straight inside and saw a man with a lion-like nose, broad eyes, and a fierce air sitting in the courtyard.

"Your Excellency, you've had a long journey…I wonder what important matter the master has sent you for?"

Zhang Ruoshui said respectfully.

"Mr. Zhang, there's no need for such formalities…"

the burly man waved his hand and said, "The medicine you brought me last time was very effective. After mixing it with wound medicine, the Emperor used it, and the wounds from Yuan Shao's cannon fire have healed considerably without any noticeable difference. However…"

The burly man looked at him for a moment and then said, "How much longer?"

Zhang Ruoshui lowered his voice and said, "Two more months, and the Emperor will…Even the best doctor would only be able to cure him from a relapse of his old cannon blast wounds…"

"Alas... His Majesty's martial arts are unparalleled, yet he was still injured by cannons. These things are truly wicked. But if we want to conquer the Central Plains, we must learn those wicked things from the Han people. Firearms and cannons are actually extremely powerful, but your Ming army doesn't seem to be able to use them effectively. And those corrupt scholars in your court only know how to spout theories of loyalty and treachery all day long, completely unaware of learning from their failures. As a result, the Ming army's firearms battalion has been fighting us for many years without any substantial improvement. Every time, they absurdly place cannons and firearms at the forefront, only to be routed by our iron cavalry."

The burly man paused and said, "His Majesty is getting old and should abdicate. However, he has become increasingly stubborn, which has become harmful to our people. So... he should die peacefully so that our people have the opportunity to establish a wise ruler..."

Zhang Ruoshui chuckled inwardly: It seems you are no different from us Han people. You clearly want to kill and seize power, yet you still use clever pretexts to claim it's for the greater good of your people.

"The Demon King's Palace has been destroyed, the Li family's experts have dwindled, and the Eastern Depot has also suffered a significant blow. Their repeated defeats and injuries make this the best time for us to take action..."

The burly man took out a small, wax-sealed ball from his robes and handed it to Zhang Ruoshui, saying, "This is a task given to you by the Prince. Burn it after you've read it."

"Yes... I will do my utmost to accomplish this great task for the Prince. I think I should call the Prince Emperor in two months..."

Zhang Ruoshui smiled.

Ao Xue had been trapped in a dark cell day after day. At first, she tried to escape, attempting to break the silkworm threads binding her body. However, the silkworm threads were so tough that even precious swords and blades could hardly harm them. Her meridians were bound and sealed by the silkworm threads; how could she move, let alone break them? Moreover, her energy gates were pierced in the soles of her feet, preventing her from channeling energy. "Mysterious Heaven Star Moon Technique."

The flaw Zhang Ruoshui left in her Yongquan acupoint on the soles of her feet before she completed the ninth level was the key to her capture. Tragically, she never understood why she had this inappropriate weakness in her feet.

The darkness seemed to never end, and she couldn't tell how much time had passed. She was blindfolded, and the Ninth Prince would often bring someone in to examine her genitals, smelling the odor as if to check if she was pregnant. She prayed constantly to God that she would not be pregnant with this monster's child, absolutely not... It would be best if she didn't get pregnant with his child and he killed her in a fit of rage, then all would be over and she wouldn't have to suffer anymore.

Then, the unfortunate thing still happened. One day, the Ninth Prince cried out in ecstatic joy, "I have an heir... I have an heir... My beauty... You will soon give birth to a son for me... This is Wei Zhongxian's son..."

Ao Xue almost wished she was having a nightmare. She really was pregnant with this monster's child... Oh God... Why wouldn't Heaven let her die? She had wanted to bite her tongue, but she had no strength at all. Every day, the people sent by the Ninth Prince forced her to drink a thin porridge mixed with ginseng, bird's nest, and various precious tonics. She had no choice but to drink it. Each person had two wooden buckets under them to collect their excrement. The Ninth Prince would also often come and use his crystal phallus to penetrate her anus and play with her to satisfy his lust. However, all of this was insignificant compared to the damage to her soul. Compared to the people in the Demon King's Palace, the Ninth Prince was already very gentle with her. Or perhaps he didn't want to hurt his unborn son and didn't dare to play too hard on her.

Countless attempts to revive her failed, leaving Ao Xue resigned to her fate. Completely numb, she lost all will to resist. She spent her days eating and defecating as usual, seemingly no longer a person, but merely a tool for the Ninth Prince to continue his lineage. Frequent nausea accompanied her, and her belly gradually grew larger. The Ninth Prince would often gently caress her belly, murmuring to himself. She used to curse him, but now she had no such inclination; she let him be. She silently endured everything like a mindless shell.

Later, the Ninth Prince brought someone in and used golden needles to pierce her belly. The needles seemed to contain rare and precious medicine, its power flowing into the fetus within her.

Through the medicinal power infused into the fetus by the needles, Ao Xue could clearly feel the fetus's power growing stronger day by day. This was a demonic fetus! A demon destined to wreak havoc on the world upon its birth! Ao Xue cursed the fetus in her womb incessantly. She felt no affection for this unborn child, only growing hatred. She had become pregnant with his child after being impregnated by the eunuch using a dildo filled with the semen he had left behind before his castration. This was an absurd and shameful act unprecedented in history. She cursed that the child would be born a one-eyed, deformed monster, preferably not even resembling a human being. In a fit of rage, the eunuch killed both the monster and himself!

"You damned eunuch...you've done so many bad things...what do you think I'll give birth to? Haha...Heaven will surely make this demonic fetus neither human nor ghost. What treasure can a worthless thing like you produce? Hahaha..."

Ao Xue, who had been silent all along, began to curse like a shrew from the marketplace, cursing until her throat was dry and she wouldn't stop. But the Ninth Prince ignored her completely and continued to do the same things every day: feeding her porridge, helping her urinate and defecate, and every now and then giving her a bath to clean her body and keep her clean. Her health meant the child's health. After cursing for a long time, she herself got bored. Really...would the eunuch pay any attention to her no matter how much she cursed? Her belly was getting bigger and bigger. How long would it be before this demonic fetus was born? Just wait...

she believed there would be retribution. This child would be heaven's punishment for the eunuch...

On the sixth day of the fifth month of the sixth year of the Tianqi reign of the Ming Dynasty, at the hour of Si (9-11 AM), a strange phenomenon suddenly appeared in the sky above the gunpowder depot of the Ministry of Works in the southwest corner of the capital: a huge fireball rolled in the air. Wispy, turbulent, five-colored clouds swirled across the sky, while large, black, mushroom-shaped cloud pillars rose vertically at the southwest corner of the city. Then, a devastating explosion occurred, instantly leveling an area within a 23-mile radius. The radius of the explosion was approximately several hundred feet, causing over 20,000 deaths and injuries.

At the time of the incident, Emperor Xizong of Ming, Zhu Youxiao, was having breakfast in the Qianqing Palace. Suddenly, he noticed the hall shaking and, terrified, fled outside. Reaching the gate, he frantically ran towards the Jiaotai Hall, his guards panicked and bewildered. Only his personal eunuch followed closely behind. Just as they reached the Jianji Hall, a tile suddenly fell from the sky, striking the eunuch on the head, instantly splattering his brains and killing him. Emperor Xizong, disregarding everything else, rushed to the Jiaotai Hall. In one corner of the main hall stood a large table. He quickly crawled under it, finally catching his breath, hoping he could escape this calamity.

News of the explosion spread rapidly throughout the country, shocking everyone from royalty and nobles to ordinary citizens, creating widespread panic. At that time, the country was politically corrupt, with eunuchs wielding power and loyalty indistinguishable from treachery. Many ministers believed the explosion was a warning from heaven to the emperor and submitted memorials urging Emperor Xizong to rectify the ills of the time and revitalize the court. Seeing the public's outrage and the mysterious and terrifying nature of the event, the emperor was forced to issue an edict of self-reproach,

expressing his intention to "deeply reflect on his actions"

and admonishing all officials to "exert their utmost efforts to cleanse their hearts and reflect deeply on their conduct."

He hoped this would bring lasting peace and stability to the Ming Dynasty and "eliminate all troubles."

He also ordered the allocation of 10,000 taels of gold from the national treasury to aid the victims. Meanwhile, the powerful eunuch Wei Zhongxian remained relatively low-key throughout the incident, leading to rumors that he was also involved in the spectacular explosion.

Despite Emperor Tianqi's various attempts to avert disaster, fate did not favor him. In the summer of the seventh year of his reign, his illness, which had worsened due to an accidental fall into the water the previous year, deteriorated further. He initially recovered under the care of the imperial physician Zhang Ruoshui, but on August 11th, he suddenly sensed his impending death and summoned his younger brother, Prince Xin (Zhu Youjian), to his bedchamber, saying, "Come, my brother,

you will be like Yao and Shun." He then appointed him as his successor. The following day, he summoned Grand Secretary Huang Lijie, saying, "Yesterday I summoned Prince Xin, and I was very pleased; I feel somewhat better."

On the day of Yimao in August, Emperor Tianqi died in the Qianqing Palace, ending his life. (Ming History, Volume 22) The "Annals of Emperor Tianqi" states: "Emperor Xizong reigned for seven years, during which eunuchs and concubines usurped power, indiscriminately rewarded and punished the wicked, causing tragic deaths to loyal officials and alienating millions. Even if he wished not to perish, how could he?"

Aoxue's belly was almost touching her sagging breasts. She knew this demonic fetus was about to be born. Oh well… anyway, her hymen would be ruptured at birth, meaning she wouldn't live much longer. The demonic fetus inside her was kicking harder… getting stronger and stronger… No… she absolutely couldn't let it be born, otherwise it would surely wreak havoc on the world…

Aoxue twisted her body again, but it was futile. It was too much to bear… After trying for so long, the silkworm silk was unbreakable; trying to escape was wishful thinking. She smiled bitterly to herself. She had been trapped by this eunuch for so long, forced to bear his child, while her brother-in-law was living happily with her sister in the snow valley, wasn't he? And that shameless maid, Li Pan'er… How hateful! They had all forgotten her, these selfish people… How was her sworn sister? She was the only one who truly cared for her. She didn't know if she was dead or alive in the explosion, but with her intelligence and martial arts skills, she should have survived, right? She

hoped there would be a day when she could see her again. Just then, the door opened and someone came in… She recognized the footsteps; it was the physician who had used golden needles to infuse her medicine. Why was he the only one in today? Just as she was wondering, she suddenly felt a chill on her abdomen. A cold blade sliced across her round belly, and a large amount of blood gushed out. After her initial shock turned into a terrified scream, she felt the fetus inside her being removed… So much blood, so tired… What did this person want to do by cutting open my stomach and taking that demonic fetus? If he wanted to kill the demonic fetus, couldn't he just stab it in? Perhaps he didn't want the demonic fetus to die? My stomach has been ripped open; it seems I'm doomed… Oh well… death is the end of it all. This way, I'll never have to suffer this torment again. All grudges and entanglements will be over. Brother-in-law, sister, sworn sister… see you in the next life!

You castrated dog! I will be reborn as a human in my next life and seek revenge…

In my daze, I only felt someone stitching something up my ripped stomach, and then a cool medicine was applied to the wound, making her feel incredibly comfortable. What was happening? She drifted off to sleep in a daze.

“The Emperor has passed away… Damn it… How could this be… Zhang Ruoshui assured me that the Emperor would be alright… Why… Why…”

The Ninth Prince roared in the hall like an enraged lion. It was indeed unbelievable. Just a few days ago, Zhang Ruoshui had told him that the Emperor was only weak from excessive indulgence and that with his medicine, he would fully recover in a month. But now, he had suddenly passed away! Even worse, before his death, the Emperor passed the throne to Prince Xin, Zhu Youjian. This boy had long been at odds with him, and he had never taken him seriously. But now things were different; the Prince was now the Emperor. This change was far too sudden, catching him completely off guard.

"Where is Zhang Ruoshui? Where is he?"

the Ninth Prince roared.

"Father...Father...Zhang Ruoshui has been missing for three days. We don't know...we don't know where he went..."

Cui Yingyuan stammered.

"Useless..."

The Ninth Prince slapped Cui Yingyuan across the face, sending him flying more than ten feet, knocking out over a dozen teeth and rendering him unconscious. In his rage, those around him dared not intervene or help the unconscious Cui Yingyuan.

"Damn it...He did it on purpose...He killed the Emperor...He...He's ruined...He knows where..."

Suddenly realizing something, the Ninth Prince rushed straight towards the Eastern Depot's prison.

The heavy iron door, weighing thousands of pounds, was knocked away with a single blow. The Ninth Prince had no intention of using the key to open the door and rushed inside. He saw Ao Xue still hanging in the room, but her once swollen belly had sunken in, and the fetus inside her had been removed... There was a large pool of shocking blood under her legs, and a horrifying wound on her stomach that had been stitched up, with the smell of excellent wound medicine. Ao Xue was breathing weakly but was out of danger.

"Ah... my child... damn it... damn it... I should have known... this guy is completely untrustworthy..."

The Ninth Prince roared in despair, collapsing to the ground. He saw a line of words written in blood: "Your son has been taken away. If you want to save his life, cooperate properly and do not rebel against the Emperor."

Truly, one wrong move and the whole game is lost. Even with his unparalleled martial arts and immense power, the Ninth Prince felt immense fear and dread. He had always considered Zhang Ruoshui a greedy hypocrite; it was perfectly normal for him to pledge allegiance to him. He hadn't expected Zhang to be so dangerous. Could he actually be a spy planted by the Prince of Xin? To get close to him, he had repeatedly betrayed the Li family, causing heavy casualties and completely disregarding the lives of his comrades? Now that his son was in Zhang's hands, what could he do? Was he simply waiting for the Prince of Xin's blade to cut his throat? Did he have any other options? A son is the continuation of one's life. For a eunuch to have a son is unprecedented; could he watch his own son die? Could this truly be retribution?

The Tianqi Emperor suddenly died, and his brother Chongzhi ascended the throne as the new Ming Emperor. Rumors circulated that the new emperor would thoroughly reform the Eastern Depot. In September, Cao Jie, the deceased commander of the Eastern Depot's ten circuits, had his two adopted sons, Cao Yawen and Cao Cheng, executed on the orders of the Emperor for incompetence. That same month, Ma Shiying, the Vice Minister of War, married a beauty he had fallen for in Nanjing, making her his third concubine.

After Chongzhen's ascension, the first among the eunuch faction to fall was Cui Chengxiu, the Minister of War. He not only held a high position and great power but also controlled the military, making him Wei Zhongxian's most trusted aide. Therefore, Chongzhen first targeted Cui Chengxiu, forcing him to resign in early October. Cui Chengxiu's downfall not only severed one of Wei Zhongxian's arms but also sent a political signal… Wei Zhongxian was doomed.

Thus, many officials, sensing the opportunity, began to attack Wei Zhongxian. On October 26th, Qian Jiazheng, a tribute student from Jiaxing, submitted a memorial publicly denouncing Wei Zhongxian's "Ten Major Crimes"... "Disregarding the Emperor, disrespecting the Empress, manipulating troops, lacking loyalty to the Emperor, exploiting the people, lacking sagacity, abusing titles, falsely claiming military achievements, building a shrine for the living, and engaging in favoritism."

The once all-powerful eunuch, known as the "Nine Thousand Years Old," instantly became a villain condemned by all. Officials at all levels who had previously fawned over him now, with the Emperor's backing, all became loyal ministers bravely fighting against the eunuch faction. Wei Zhongxian feigned illness and did not attend court, but Chongzhen ordered him to keep vigil for the Tianqi Emperor. He then submitted a memorial resigning his titles, imperial edicts, and land. Chongzhen, however, was not one to let things slide.

He actually approved all of them and took the opportunity to adjust the personnel arrangements of the court.

Overnight, all of Wei Zhongxian's cronies in the court were replaced and stripped of their power, replaced by Chongzhen's confidants. The Eastern Depot was rendered useless. Although Cao Huachun once advised Chongzhen to let him take control of the Embroidered Uniform Guard to relieve his worries, Li Mu stated in court that the Eastern Depot was a scourge to the country and the people and must be abolished. With all the civil and military officials sharing this attitude, Chongzhen was displeased but had no choice but to order the abolition of the Eastern Depot and the Embroidered Uniform Guard. The history of the Eastern Depot came to an end, and the Embroidered Uniform Guard became a pariah. Many Embroidered Uniform Guards were killed before they could even escape with their families. The heads of their entire families, regardless of age or gender, were hung on the beams for public display. Even the inspectors who came to check were too frightened to enter for fear of being implicated. A line of large characters was written on the wall: "The Eastern Depot and the Embroidered Uniform Guard

are a scourge to the country and the people, kill, kill, kill, kill!" Those Embroidered Uniform Guards who were not yet affected were so frightened that they spent all their money to bribe officials and fled the capital with their families overnight, but most of them were intercepted and killed halfway.

Now that Wei Zhongxian was a "fallen dog,"

many people rushed to attack him. Memorials denouncing Wei Zhongxian flooded the palace, reaching Emperor Chongzhen's desk. Just a few years earlier, during the suppression of the Donglin Party, the entire nation had condemned him, almost everyone shouting for his demise; but for Wei Zhongxian, there was nothing but praise and adulation.

Many believed Wei Zhongxian would fight to the death. With his unparalleled martial arts skills and the band of ruthless followers he had gathered, would he truly surrender and await his fate? Was he truly willing to lose everything? However, in the past three months, the once domineering eunuch Wei Zhongxian seemed to have lost his soul, offering no resistance to Chongzhen's various inflicts upon him, as if he had resigned himself to his fate. Many of his loyal followers repeatedly advised him that if he fought with all his might now, he still had a chance to eliminate Chongzhen and, at worst, let him sit on the throne. But all he received in return was a bitter smile: "What a joke! In what dynasty has a eunuch become emperor? Even if I kill that brat on the throne, so what? Will Sun Chengzhong submit to me? Soon, the armies from all sides will raze this place to the ground, and then what? And then what? Enough, it's all over. I'm finished, I'm tired, I don't want to fight anymore. Those of you with money and ability, go and escape for yourselves..."

His words completely shattered the fighting spirit and confidence of his loyal followers. The once mighty Eastern Depot was already teetering on the brink of collapse, all because of their leader Wei Zhongxian's "non-resistance." Finally, the time was ripe for

a "final reckoning" against Wei Zhongxian .

On November 1st, Emperor Chongzhen publicly announced Wei Zhongxian's crimes: "I have heard that eradicating evil completely is the greatest power in governing the world; and that ministers without generals are a constant warning to those in positions of authority. Our nation's laws are clearly displayed, and the severe punishment of such a fool is of utmost importance. I have read through the numerous lists of crimes committed by the treacherous Wei Zhongxian compiled by my ministers, and I am fully aware of them. I have secretly thought that the late Emperor, out of a small favor from those around him, bestowed upon him a little grace, but Zhongxian did not repay the country's favor. Instead, he indulged in his private ambitions, cultivated his own faction, usurped the power of the state, and abused his authority. His crimes are too numerous to list, but I will briefly outline them..." The

once invincible Eastern Depot and Wei Zhongxian had finally met their end...

"Drink up..."

"Good... I never thought this eunuch would have such a day..."

"Finally, revenge has been avenged for our fallen brothers..."

"Dr. Zhang, this time it's all thanks to your humiliation and sacrifice after infiltrating the Eastern Depot... I truly admire you... Cheers!"

In stark contrast to the desolate atmosphere of the Eastern Depot, the Li residence was filled with jubilation. The heroes who had fought against the eunuchs were celebrating their victory. Just a year ago, they had been nearly crushed by the Eastern Depot, but now the situation had completely reversed. The Eastern Depot and the eunuch had fallen, and the new emperor who had revived the Ming Dynasty had ascended the throne. Everything seemed like a dream. Those brave warriors who had sacrificed their lives to eliminate the eunuch faction could now rest in peace. During this time, Qi Yun'ao and Lian Xinyi were married under the auspices of Zhan Wanhao, while Tie Furong, who had lost her memory of losing her virginity, was married to Fang Zilong under the auspices of Li Mu and Tie Danxin, who was in a wheelchair. Both couples sat at the banquet, radiating joy.

Looking at the scene before him, Yun'ao was filled with emotion. How many heroes had given their precious lives for this day! Suddenly, he thought of someone: Xiaodan... If only you were here.

"What are you thinking about? Are you thinking about Sister Chen?"

Xin Yi suddenly asked.

"No...nothing...Xin Yi...I just thought of so many people and so many things...and..."

He stared at Zhang Ruoshui, who was sitting next to Li Mu at the banquet, receiving toasts from the guests like a great hero.

"Don't be too hasty. He's in power now. Don't try to fight him now. You can't beat him..."

Xin Yi held his hand and whispered.

Yun Ao already knew that the real culprit who killed his father was Zhang Ruoshui, but now he had become the great hero who brought down Wei Zhongxian. Besides, he had no evidence to accuse him. He could only suppress the hatred in his heart.

"Brother Qi...Miss Lian...ah...no...I should call you sister-in-law..."

Fang Zilong, with a ruddy face, pulled Fu Rong and walked up to them with a wine cup to toast them. The Qi couple quickly raised their cups to drink.

"Brother Fang, I heard that the Emperor has issued an edict to exonerate your father and bring back your family who were unjustly exiled to the frontier?"

Yun Ao asked.

"Indeed, His Majesty is an unparalleled genius and a wise ruler who has restored the Ming Dynasty. He is a man sent by Heaven to save the people of the Ming! The injustice done to my Fang family has been completely cleared. My mother and brothers and sisters have returned to the capital and are staying at home. I haven't seen them for several years; they were emaciated and sick from the torment they suffered. Thankfully, their lives are no longer in danger. Alas..."

Zilong sighed and continued, "The Eastern Depot, which has plagued the world for over two hundred years, has finally been abolished by His Majesty. This is truly a cause for celebration. My father has been posthumously honored as the Earl of Loyalty and Martyrdom, and His Majesty has even allowed me to inherit his title. Moreover, he will soon entrust me with an important task. Have you heard? His Majesty is going to establish a

Heavenly Alliance to lead all the heroes of the martial arts world to serve the court... This is truly a great joy..."

"Alright... look at you, so happy... you've even forgotten your own name..."

Furong laughed from the side. The Forget-Me-Not Powder was extremely effective, but it made her forget the rape she suffered at the hands of Wang Du, and even the fact that Zilong had rejected her at the Li residence. After taking the medicine that day, Xiaofeng and Zilong made up a story that she had accidentally fallen off her horse and hit her head after taking Aoxue back to the capital, resulting in her being unconscious for several months before waking up. Furong believed it to be true. Zilong took the initiative to express his love, and Furong was overjoyed and they quickly became husband and wife. As for the fact that Furong was not a virgin, they could only say that she had also injured her lower body when she fell off her horse, causing her hymen to break. Furong was very regretful, but her husband did not care about this matter, so she did not think about it anymore. Moreover, Zhang Ruoshui also gave her contraceptive medicine to prevent her from giving birth to an illegitimate child. After getting married, Furong resigned from her position as a female constable, and Xiaofeng took her place to continue to hunt down notorious bandits in the martial arts world.

"The Heavenly Alliance? The imperial court will control the martial arts world?"

Yun Ao was stunned; this was unprecedented.

"Don't worry, once the imperial court controls the martial arts world, the fighting in the Jianghu will definitely decrease significantly. Besides, there's a wise and brave hero like Doctor Zhang assisting the emperor. You can rest assured..."

Fang Zilong patted his shoulder.

"But I heard that Lord Li opposes the emperor establishing the Heavenly Alliance..."

Xin Yi interjected.

"This..."

Zilong's face showed embarrassment. "Lord Li is probably mistaken this time. The establishment of the Heavenly Alliance will benefit the martial arts world without any harm. Of course, those unruly martial artists must be properly dealt with. The laws of our Great Ming Dynasty cannot tolerate those unruly Jianghu people running amok..." Yun Ao couldn't help but feel a jolt in his

heart. He felt that Zilong seemed to be getting further and further away from them, speaking with an official tone. He couldn't help but sigh inwardly: After Brother Zilong's family was exonerated, he seemed to have become obsessed with fame and fortune. But he was originally a son of an official who was forced to wander the Jianghu. What could he say?

At this moment, several people entered from outside. The leader, dressed in black, was Lu Tianyou, who was carrying a blood-soaked package. He threw it on the table and laughed, "Look, heroes, this is the end for the lackeys of the Eastern Depot."

Qin Kang opened the package and saw four mangled human heads inside. Upon closer inspection, one of the heads, with its disheveled hair pulled back, turned out to be the head of Xu Xianchun, the adopted son of the Ninth Prince!

"Good... another lackey of Wei Zhongxian has been executed..."

"This kid loved to torture people when he was alive... I heard that Lord Yang Lian was tortured half to death by him..."

"Good... Young Hero Lu has rid the world of another great scourge..."

"Truly, a great teacher produces a great student. Doctor Zhang's disciple is indeed remarkable..."

By this time, it was already public knowledge that Tianyou had become Zhang Ruoshui's disciple. Zhang was already a great hero in the eyes of the heroes, so naturally, they wouldn't care that Tianyou had become a disciple of someone else so soon after Wang Zhen's death.

Yun Ao looked at the other three heads, which were those of a woman and two children. He frowned and said, "Brother Lu, are these woman and children also lackeys of the Eastern Depot?"

Tianyou glanced at him contemptuously and said, "Xu Xianchun tried to sneak out of the capital with his family, but I pretended to let them slip out and then intercepted them in the suburbs. Although Xu Xianchun had some skill, I killed him in the thirty-seventh move and beheaded him. His wife and children couldn't be spared either, so I killed them as well..."

"This... Xu Xianchun is utterly wicked, so just kill him... Why kill innocent people?"

Yun Ao shook his head and said.

"Innocent? What innocent? When that Xu fellow was harming the innocent and plundering the people's wealth to support his wife and children, he should have known this day would come! Given his crimes, he should be executed along with his entire family. I'm showing mercy by sending his whole family to their deaths to save them from further torture in prison. What's wrong with that? Brother Qi, aren't you being too merciful? We must nip this in the bud. Otherwise, if his son comes seeking revenge and takes the lives of one or two heroes, wouldn't that be my fault?"

Tianyou said sternly.

"Young Master Lu is right..."

"Yes... every one of the Eastern Depot's lackeys deserves to die..."

"Kill their entire families... kill... kill... kill..."

The crowd in the hall became agitated. "Whirlwind Gang!"

Gang leader Chang Biao, known for his ruthlessness, swung his knife without a word and brutally chopped off the heads of the four people on the table.

"Chop them up and drink them with our wine..."

"Alright..."

A group of heroes swarmed around, wielding their weapons and instantly chopping the four heads on the table into mincemeat. Blood and brains splattered all over their heads, faces, and bodies. Ignoring the filth, they scooped up the blood and brains in bowls, poured the wine down their throats, and drank it down in a gruesome manner.

Xin Yi and Fu Rong, women by nature, almost vomited at the sight and quickly turned away, unable to bear watching any longer. Yun Ao closed his eyes and shook his head. The Shaolin and Wudang masters also showed indifference, while Tianyou and Zilong looked excited.

Li Mu frowned, about to tell them to calm down, but Zhang Ruoshui laughed, "My lord, Xu Xianchun has committed too many evil deeds and has just received his just deserts. Let the brothers vent their anger a bit, and everything will be fine once they've vented..."

At this moment, several more people entered from outside. They were Cao Huachun, a confidant of Emperor Chongzhen, and General Duan Yunpeng. Cao Huachun was startled by the scene and exclaimed, "Oh dear... what happened... so much blood..."

"Eunuch... we just killed the entire family of Wei Zhongxian's lackey Xu Xianchun, and everyone was just venting their anger because of his many evil deeds..."

Zhang Ruoshui stood up and said.

"No need for such formalities, Physician Zhang..."

Cao Huachun quickly cupped his hands and smiled, "I have some good news to tell everyone. The Emperor just issued an edict demoting Wei Zhongxian to Fengyang to guard the tomb of Emperor Taizu... This guy is nothing now..."

"Good... this eunuch is finally finished..."

"Why not issue an edict to kill him and tear him to pieces? That would be too lenient..."

"Yes... we can't let him go..."

"Kill him..."

The heroes were immediately filled with righteous indignation.

"Everyone... please go back to your rooms and rest for now... we can discuss things tomorrow..."

Li Mu, realizing Cao Huachun had something to discuss with him, ordered the banquet to end, and everyone left reluctantly.

Yun Ao, feeling rather depressed, pulled Xin Yi out of the hall. Xin Yi patted his back and said, "Husband, what are you thinking about? Let me guess... is it because you think the Xu family suffered a terrible fate?"

"He committed many evils, ultimately harming his wife and children... alas... but if it were me, I wouldn't have killed his wife and children. Perhaps I'm too soft-hearted and really not suited for this martial world..."

Yun Ao said with a self-deprecating bitter smile.

"Being soft-hearted isn't so bad... at least that's one of the things I like about you..."

Xin Yi said, then wrapped her arms around his waist.

Yun Ao felt two soft and elastic mounds of beautiful flesh pressing against his back and couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion. He thought to himself: What have I, Qi Yun Ao, done to deserve such a wife? Now that he and Xin Yi were husband and wife, he shouldn't think about Xiao Dan anymore. After all, everything was in the past, and the two of them were impossible...

“Husband, let’s go listen to what that Eunuch Cao has to say to Lord Li…”

Xin Yi whispered in his ear.

“This… isn’t that a bit inappropriate… it’s probably some kind of court secret…”

Yun Ao said.

“Why can’t we know secrets? We can just keep it a secret, right? Let’s go…”

Xin Yi’s small hand touched his strong pectoral muscles, and the round, bulging flesh between her legs rubbed against his buttocks, almost making Yun Ao’s crotch erect. Let’s go, let’s go listen…

“Alright… then we’ll go listen… but we can’t let them do it…”

Yun Ao seemed to have suddenly made up his mind.

The two men, skilled in martial arts, stealthily approached the window of Li Mu's bedroom. Inside, they heard Cao Huachun speaking: "My lord, you again contradicted the Emperor in court. The Emperor's imposition of heavy taxes on various regions is to raise enough funds to quell the Liaodong rebellion. Only after the Tartar rebellion is quelled can the grand plan to revitalize the Ming Dynasty be implemented..."

"Eunuch," Li Mu replied, "I know the Emperor's good intentions, but isn't this too hasty? This year, the northern provinces are suffering from severe disasters, and many prefectures and counties have no harvest... This is a once-in-a-century disaster... At this time, the court should be doing its best to provide food for the disaster victims to help them get through the year. How can they pay such heavy taxes when they have nothing to eat? The Emperor has exempted the Jiangnan region from commercial and industrial taxes, but if the taxes are not reduced, they will all end up on the shoulders of small farmers. Merchants who make money do not have to pay a single penny to the court, while small farmers who are so poor they can't even afford pants have to pay such heavy taxes. Is this fair? The Emperor is wrong..."

“Li Mu…you dare to say the Emperor is wrong…do you know that your actions are an insult to the Emperor…”

Cao Huachun’s tone hardened.

“Eunuch…the Emperor is a wise and virtuous ruler. I risked my life to remonstrate with him because I didn’t want him to make a grave mistake. If the Emperor is unwilling to accept my advice, there’s nothing I can do. But forcing the disaster victims to pay heavy taxes will only drive them into rebellion…then, with internal and external troubles, things will become even more complicated.”

Li Mu said anxiously.

“Rebellion? These poor bastards dare to rebel? If they dare to rebel, their entire families will be exterminated…The Emperor abolished the Eastern Depot and expelled Wei Zhongxian for the sake of the country. What a great achievement this is! These unruly people are ungrateful and dare to rebel? When the Ming army arrives, they will surely be wiped out. Then let’s see who dares to rebel again…The Emperor has decided to appoint Lord Yuan Chongzhen. This man is the reincarnation of Yue Fei. With his talent, he will be able to wipe out those barbarian Tartars from beyond the Great Wall in just a few years…What great things can someone who is afraid of everything accomplish?”

Cao Huachun said shrilly.

“My lords…why make such a fuss…let’s talk this out…”

Duan Yunpeng advised from the side.

“Hmph…there’s nothing more to say. Since Lord Li considers my advice meddlesome, then I’ll take my leave…let’s go…”

Cao Huachun, his face full of anger, and Duan Yunpeng, looking helpless, walked out of Li Mu’s room. Li Mu sighed deeply and sat down silently, head bowed.

Yun Ao and Xin Yi were truly surprised that the seemingly revitalized court still harbored so much strife. Suppressing the Liaodong rebellion was certainly important, but what would be the result of so hastily imposing heavy taxes on the disaster victims?

At this moment, Zhang Ruoshui's voice rang out from inside the room: "My lord, Eunuch Cao already harbors resentment towards you because you insisted on abolishing the Eastern Depot, preventing him from becoming its head. This time, you also opposed the Emperor's heavy taxation. If this continues, you will only become more estranged from the Emperor, giving Eunuch Cao more opportunities to spread rumors and sow discord between you and the Emperor!"

"Of course I know that, but as a subject, it is my duty to be loyal to the Emperor. If the Emperor continues like this, he will make a grave mistake, and I cannot stand by and watch him err... I know that the Emperor is different from the late Emperor and wholeheartedly wants to restore the Ming Dynasty to its former glory and a peaceful and prosperous era. However, the problems accumulated over the years cannot be solved in three or five years. Now, the power of the Liao people and the Tartars has grown to a point where they are no longer comparable to the small nomadic tribes of the past. It is almost impossible to wipe them out within a few years. Even if the military expenditure is increased several times, how will the disaster victims bear it in the end... If the disaster victims in various places revolt... Alas..."

Li Mu's tone was very pessimistic, and Yun Ao, who was listening outside the window, couldn't help but nod secretly.

"My lord, don't worry. I'll explain the implications to the Emperor. The most urgent thing now is to completely eliminate Wei the eunuch and leave him no chance to rise again..."

"Hmm... I know that. As long as Wei the eunuch and Liu Aoxue's son is in your hands, he won't dare to resist..."

What? Yun Ao almost doubted his ears. How could Wei the eunuch have a son with Miss Liu?

"Indeed, Wei the eunuch has no grand ambitions. His power stems from the Emperor. Since the Emperor wants to eliminate him, he lacks the resolve to rebel. Furthermore, his son, whom he cherishes, is in my hands, further diminishing his determination to fight to the death. Therefore, for the past three months, he has only watched helplessly as his long-established Eastern Depot is gradually destroyed, and his confidants are eliminated one by one. To say that Miss Liu has made a sacrifice for our righteous cause… However, she has no feelings for this son. She was raped and gave birth to the child by the male semen stored in Wei the eunuch's dildo. I couldn't take both mother and child with me that day; I could only remove the fully formed, soon-to-be-born fetus from her body and then stitch up her wound. I imagine Wei the eunuch won't make things difficult for her. Let's rescue her after everything is over." "

It seems that's the only way. But how can a young woman face the world if word gets out that she gave birth to a eunuch's child? The fewer people who know about this, the better. It must not be spread." "

Rest assured, Lord Marquis, I, Zhang, will keep my mouth shut…"

"What do you plan to do with that child after Wei Zhongxian is executed? I don't think there's any need to eliminate him completely . He knows nothing at all."

"Don't worry, Lord Marquis, both the child and Miss Liu are innocent. Actually, I don't agree with exterminating the families of those in the Eastern Depot. How about this... I'll raise the child myself, hoping he can grow up to be an upright person, which will be a way of compensating for his father's heinous crimes."

"Alright... then I'll trouble you, Physician Zhang. I hope you can guide this child onto the right path."

The two didn't say anything more, and Zhang Ruoshui took his leave.

Back in their room, the Qi couple sighed as Yun Ao sat on the bed. "Miss Liu is truly unfortunate. Who would have thought she'd be forced to bear a son for a eunuch? Alas… I wonder what her sister and brother-in-law will do if they knew… This child is innocent; he was used by Zhang Ruoshui as a tool to coerce Wei Yan from birth. Wei Yan certainly deserves to die, but to use such methods… Alas, Zhang Ruoshui is a wicked man. Although he helped the Emperor and the Marquis eliminate Wei Yan, it's hard to say he doesn't have ulterior motives and ambitions. How can this child grow into an upright person under his care?"

"Yes, that man's heart is truly unfathomable… Perhaps… we can rescue this child from his clutches and raise him. What do you say?"

Xin Yi smiled sweetly.

"Yes, Xin Yi… do you have a good idea?"

Yun Ao asked, putting his arms around Xin Yi's shoulders.

"Don't worry, I always keep my word. Don't worry."

"I never imagined court affairs were so complicated. His Majesty's actions seem quite inappropriate. If, as Lord Li says, it triggers a peasant rebellion, then..."

"Sigh...that's why you're simply not suited to be an official. The martial world is already complicated enough; if you were to become an official, you'd probably have to resign after three days...We only act according to our conscience. How can we possibly manage so many things in the world? How could we possibly manage this? Let's relax...help me take off my boots..."

Xin Yi raised her alluring long legs, placing her delicate feet, clad in embroidered boots, before Yun Ao.

Yun Ao gently pinched her ankle and with a little force, slipped the boots off. The boots, unsocked, exuded a sweaty, sour fragrance.

“Wife…why aren’t you wearing socks? Then wait a minute…”

Yun Ao said with a wry smile.

“I just like it when you lick me like this…hurry up…”

Xin Yi giggled, her five cute toes raised towards him as if in defiance.

“Okay…I’ll take good care of them…”

Yun Ao lowered his body and took Xin Yi’s bare jade foot into his mouth.

“Ah…it hurts…so rough…ha…so comfortable…I like it like this…oh…”

Xin Yi laughed so hard that she trembled and kicked off the boot on her other foot. Yun Ao, with his wife’s jade foot in his mouth, gently chewed on it while pushing her down onto the bed. It looked like tonight would be another exhausting battle. Once Xin Yi got aroused, she wouldn’t stop for more than an hour. It was tough on this Demon-Slaying Blade Master, who would have to use all his strength to serve his sexually aroused wife until she was satisfied before he would stop.

Yun Ao unbuckled his belt, his erect penis standing erect. Xin Yi, on the other hand, also unbuckled her long skirt and trousers, revealing her plump and tender vulva. The two of them hadn't even taken off their shirts before they were tightly embracing each other. His penis flashed and plunged straight into the vulva...

"Oh..."

"Oh

..." "Ah..."

"Harder..."

"Ah..."

Zi Long was pressing Fu Rong hard on the bed, riding her body with abandon. The usually strong Fu Rong was surprisingly weak in bed, completely powerless against his pressure. This was the fourth time tonight. Her head was tilted to the side of the pillow, her eyes half-closed, and she was moaning softly. Her legs were trembling weakly under Zi Long's armpits, and saliva kept seeping from the corners of her mouth. The peerless goddess constable had been driven into a semi-conscious state by her husband.

Zilong was truly excited tonight. Since regaining his manly dignity, he was no longer the dejected man he once was. He had utterly defeated the woman he loved. Now, Wei Yan, the great enemy of the Eastern Depot, was about to be executed, his unjustly accused father was exonerated, and his family members who had been exiled to the border had returned home. So many good things happening at once made him wonder if he was dreaming. He was truly happy that he had not only survived but had also witnessed the day when justice would prevail. It was just a pity that Wang Du, who had raped Furong, and the lewd monk and his disciple had not yet been executed. The thought that Furong was not a virgin on the day they married cast a shadow over his heart. He had always had to hide this from Furong by telling a huge lie. This frustration and unhappiness turned into even stronger motivation, causing him to vent his anger on Furong even more.

"Here it comes..."

Zilong shouted and thrust his strong waist upwards. Furong involuntarily twisted her slender waist, and fluids splattered between their legs. Their bodies tensed for a moment before slowly relaxing and going limp. Only heavy breathing remained in the room.

Exhausted and too weak to continue with her husband, Furong's large breasts rose and fell slowly as she drifted into a deep sleep. Zilong's limp penis remained inside his wife, contemplating a fifth round of passion.

Just then, a soft knock sounded at the door. Displeased by the interruption, Zilong said, "Who is it... what time is it now..."

"Zilong, it's me..."

Recognizing Duan Yunpeng's voice, Zilong hurriedly put on his clothes and slipped on his boots to open the door. Standing there were Duan Yunpeng and Cao Huachun.

Cao Huachun, seeing his expression, knew what had happened and forced a smile, saying, "Brother Fang is busy, I'm sorry, we have some urgent business with you..."

Zilong blushed and quickly said, "Father-in-law, what are you saying? Please come in... ah..."

Thinking of his wife lying naked on the bed, how could he let them in?

"No, no... come with us to the secluded place, the Emperor has a secret decree for you..."

Cao Huachun whispered.

"What? The Emperor has a secret decree for me?"

Zilong realized the gravity of the situation and quickly turned around to see that Furong was already fast asleep before closing the door.

"What... this really is the Emperor's secret decree?"

Zilong trembled as he looked at the opened decree. "This... this... this is unacceptable! Why must I do this? Why does the Emperor want me to kill him? He... he is so loyal to the Emperor..."

Zilong's voice was trembling with tears.

"Shut up... keep your mouth shut, do you want others to hear?"

Cao Huachun said angrily. They were currently in the woodshed of the Li residence.

"Eunuch... shouldn't we ask the Emperor to reconsider..."

Zilong quickly lowered his voice.

"What nonsense! The Emperor's word is law, his pronouncements cannot be changed. Although he has rendered meritorious service to the court, he has repeatedly opposed the Emperor. If this continues, he will only become another Wei Zhongxian. The Emperor wants to implement new policies and naturally does not want to be controlled by others. How does the Emperor treat you?"

Cao Huachun said.

"His Majesty's kindness to my Fang family is as heavy as a mountain... Zilong once swore to be loyal to His Majesty, and I will do anything His Majesty asks of me, even go through fire and water..."

Zilong knelt down and said.

"Yes, yes... You were originally a wanted criminal by the Eastern Depot, your father died tragically and your whole family was wronged. And now? You have married a beautiful wife, your father has been exonerated and your family is reunited. He will help you improve your skills, and your future is bright. All of this is thanks to His Majesty. It is rare for His Majesty to think so highly of you, do you know that? Once you get rid of him, you will be the leader of the Heavenly Alliance, appointed by His Majesty. Do you know how high your status will be in the martial arts world? You'd better think it through... His Majesty doesn't necessarily need you to get rid of him. This is the most severe test for you. If you refuse, His Majesty can immediately take back everything you have now. You don't want that to happen, do you?"

Cao Huachun said sinisterly.

"No...no...I don't want to live a life of having nothing again..."

Zilong's heart began to waver. While morality was important, his loyalty to the Emperor, his love for Furong, his power, wealth, and family—all these combined were almost suffocating him. He couldn't imagine the terrible scene of losing everything all at once.

Duan Yunpeng quickly stepped forward and pulled him up, saying, "Eunuch, don't push him too hard. Zilong is a sensible man; he will do as the Emperor says."

"Hmm...it's for the best, Brother Fang. I've said all I need to say. What happens next is up to you..."

Cao Huachun said with a stern face.

Zilong stood up like a walking corpse. Now that he was on the boat, there was no turning back. He owed the Emperor too much, more than he could ever repay in several lifetimes, and when the Emperor demanded repayment, he had to repay it...

"Your Majesty, I will go through fire and water for you...I will immediately carry out the secret decree..."

Zilong's eyes were filled with turbidity, as if his soul was gradually disappearing.

At dawn, Li Zhong, a servant of the Li family, came to deliver water for washing his face. He found the two guards standing watch at the gate leaning against a pillar, their heads tilted to the side. With a gentle push, they collapsed to the ground, lifeless. He was immediately alarmed and rushed inside. There, he saw a headless corpse sitting on the edge of the bed, blood splattered all over the room. On the table were several large characters written in blood: "Blood for blood."

"Master...Master is dead!"

"Master has been assassinated..." Li

Zhong screamed in terror...

Li Mu, the leader of the Anti-Eunuch Alliance, had mysteriously been assassinated at the very moment of universal celebration of victory. His head had been severed and disappeared without a trace. Everyone was furious. Who else could the murderer be but someone from the Eastern Depot? It was unbelievable that someone from the Eastern Depot, a pariah, could still infiltrate the Li family mansion, kill Li Mu right under everyone's noses, and take his head. Perhaps only the Ninth Prince himself could have accomplished this.

"Hmph... The Eastern Depot's lackeys are utterly arrogant! They've reached their dead end and dared to assassinate Lord Li!"

Cao Huachun said, his face full of anger.

"Kill them all..."

"Slaughter that Wei fellow and tear him to pieces, then eat him alive..."

"We absolutely cannot let him die so easily..."

At this moment, the crowd was filled with righteous indignation, wishing they could immediately capture the Ninth Prince and kill him to vent their hatred.

"Everyone, calm down. The matter of the Lord's murder has not yet been fully investigated. I suspect there is a traitor hiding in the mansion..."

Zheng Yuantou said.

"Oh, Mr. Zheng, what do you mean? All of you here are loyal and righteous men who have killed Eastern Depot's lackeys. How could there be an Eastern Depot traitor infiltrated?"

Duan Yunpeng said.

“I noticed that the two guards who were standing guard at the Marquis’s gate yesterday had their throats crushed, and their hands didn’t even touch the blade. They seemed to have no reaction at all before being killed. It’s very likely that the murderer was someone they knew and trusted. The Marquis died sitting on the bed and didn’t touch the long sword by the bedside. It wasn’t a fight that led to his death. So I suspect that there’s a traitor in the Marquis’s mansion who assassinated him last night while everyone was resting…”

Zheng Yuan finished speaking, though he was filled with grief.

“Yes… Last time, the deaths of Old Hero Wang and Old Qi were also mysterious, and we still don’t know who the murderer is. It’s very likely that the murderer is still hiding among us…”

Qin Kang nodded.

“Who was the last person to leave the Marquis yesterday?”

Zheng Yuan asked.

“General Duan and I talked with Marquis Li about the future situation in the court last night, and we left around 9 PM,”

Cao Huachun said.

“Marquis Li and I chatted for a while longer before leaving. Afterwards, I went to Tianyou’s room and chatted with him for a while before going back to my room to sleep,”

Zhang Ruoshui said.

"Dr. Zhang, did anyone see me go back to my room to sleep?"

Yun Ao couldn't help but ask. He had begun to suspect that Zhang Ruoshui was the murderer of Li Mu. Although he saw him leave Li Mu's room last night, who could be sure he would return?

"Amitabha... I can testify. Last night, when I went out to empty the chamber pot, I saw Dr. Zhang go back to his room to sleep. I even greeted him..."

Jue Bei said from the side.

Li Zhong said, "Last night, around the end of Hai hour, I helped the master bring him water to wash his face and feet. He was still alive and well then... But I didn't expect... Sigh..."

Zheng Yuan frowned. Currently, everyone seemed to be without suspicion, but no one knew what happened after Hai hour.

"No need to say more, the murderer must be Wei Yan himself... Only his unparalleled martial arts skills could allow him to infiltrate the Li residence without being detected by us. He killed the Marquis for revenge... He knew his end was near, so he wanted to take revenge before he died..."

Cao Huachun shouted.

“Yes…it must be so…”

“Yes…only this eunuch has such high martial arts skills, so the guards and the Marquis didn’t even have time to react before they were killed…”

“Kill this eunuch to avenge the Marquis…”

Yun Ao suddenly noticed that Zilong’s face was pale and covered in cold sweat, and couldn’t help but wonder why his brother had become like this.

“Zilong…what’s wrong with you?”

Furong, who was beside him, also noticed his abnormality.

“I…I’m fine…I…I just hate…I hate that the Eastern Depot’s villains…killed…killed the Marquis right under our noses…”

Zilong’s body trembled as he spoke.

“Zilong, don’t worry, evil will be punished, we will find the murderer who killed the Marquis and cut him into a thousand pieces to offer as a blood sacrifice to the Marquis…”

Furong hugged his shoulders and said.

“Ah…cut into a thousand pieces…if you catch the murderer, will you really…do that?”

Zilong asked in a trembling voice.

“Of course, I’m no longer a constable, no longer bound by the law. I used to be so restrained, but now I’m going to be a true江湖人 (jianghu person, a person of the martial arts world)…”

Furong slapped the hilt of her sword forcefully.

“Good…good…”

Zilong nodded. At this moment, Cao Huachun gave Zilong’s shoulder a hard push and said, “Brother Fang, the Marquis’s murder needs someone to take charge. Why don’t you be in charge of chasing down Wei’s gang and beheading them to avenge the Marquis…”

“Ah…good…good…”

The unsettled Zilong could only manage a weak response. At this moment, the hall was completely engulfed in the cries and curses of the crowd.

“Xinyi? Do you think the Marquis was really assassinated by someone from the Eastern Depot?”

Yun Ao asked in a low voice.

“Maybe, maybe not. At least I think that besides the people from the Eastern Depot, the Marquis also offended someone he absolutely couldn’t afford to offend…”

Xinyi looked up at the white clouds in the sky and said.

“Was it Cao Huachun? He actually has such audacity.”

Yun Ao said.

“It might be him, but he couldn’t have made such a decision. Who do you think could order him to do something like this?”

Xin Yi said.

“It was…it was the Emperor…why? Just for Lord Li…”

Yun Ao said hoarsely.

“That’s enough reason. The current Emperor’s ruthlessness is far superior to that of Tianqi. He took this opportunity to get rid of Lord Li, this stumbling block, and framed Wei Zhongxian. Anyway, he’s going to die anyway, so it’s better to let him bear all the blame before he dies.”

“The Emperor…how could Chongzhen be so cruel and heartless? I want to seek justice for Lord Li…”

Yun Ao said angrily.

“Forget it. All of this is just speculation. We have no evidence. Even if we did, so what? You go into the palace and kill Chongzhen to avenge Lord Li? And then what will happen?”

Xin Yi turned around and hugged his strong body softly.

"Alas... the Marquis is devoted to the country and loyal to him. All the advice and opposition I've given him was in the hope that he wouldn't make a grave mistake. But... but... he's so narrow-minded, ruthless, and leaves no room for compromise. Can he truly be the restorer of the Ming Dynasty?"

Yun Ao felt a deep fear.

Ao Xue was still blindfolded and suspended in the room. The demonic fetus in her womb was gone. Where had it gone? What happened to the eunuch? She had waited for far too long. Suddenly, the silkworm threads binding her snapped, and her jade body fell to the ground. Her body had been restrained for so long that her limbs remained immobile for a long time. It would likely take a considerable amount of time to remove the silkworm threads and regain her mobility.

"Listen, I'm letting you go now... I'm leaving too..."

came the deep voice of the Ninth Prince.

"Eunuch... I'm going to kill you..."

Ao Xue roared madly, her jade body writhing on the ground but unable to stand.

"Alas, even if you don't kill me, I won't live much longer. Our child was taken by Zhang Ruoshui, who is Chongzhen's man. He used this child to force me to resist. Now that my power has fallen into the hands of others, I am just a toothless tiger in the sunset. If you want revenge, you can come and kill me. You have a hymen that has never been broken after the cesarean section. I was demoted by Chongzhen to Fengyang to guard the tomb of the late emperor. I think they will make their move on the way. But if you want to kill me, I'm afraid you will have to pay a price..."

The Ninth Prince sneered.

"Haha... I told you long ago you'd get your comeuppance... Your comeuppance has come... Don't go, wait until I recover my strength, I'll kill you with my own hands..." Ao

Xue screamed hoarsely.

"That'll have to wait until you recover your strength, I don't have time to wait for you anymore... Once you recover your strength, these iron gates naturally won't be able to hold you... Then just chase me south... Let's see if you really have the ability to kill me..."

After saying that, Jiu Qian Sui turned around and went out, pushing the three-foot-thick iron gate shut.

"Don't go... Don't go... Eunuch... I'm going to kill you now... Don't go..."

Even after the iron gate was closed, Jiu Qian Sui could still clearly hear Ao Xue's screams behind the door, like a vengeful ghost from hell.

"Mother..."

A little boy was running towards the hut in the mountains, carrying a basket of herbs. Xiao Dan, heavily pregnant, came out of the hut, took out a handkerchief to wipe the boy's sweat, and smiled, "Zhong'er, don't overwork yourself, Mother can take care of herself..."

"Mother, you have to take care of Aunt Xiaoyu, and you're pregnant... Zhong'er must take good care of you..."

Geng Zhong said with a simple and honest face.

Before the battle at Jilefang, Xiao Dan had secretly rescued Geng Zhong and hidden him in a safe place. On the day of the explosion in the capital, he was safe and sound. Later, Xiao Dan escaped with her mother's body, the unconscious Yi Ting, and the Red Scorpion and Yellow Bee she rescued along the way. She then took him and traveled thousands of miles to settle in a mountain forest in the south. She lived a secluded life to avoid Zhang Ruoshui's eyes and ears. At the same time, she tried to develop an antidote to the Forget-Me-Not Powder. On weekdays, she could only use drugs to make Yi Ting unconscious so that she could not regain her mobility. After the Red Scorpion and Yellow Bee were cured of the mad dog pill's poison, they were very grateful and left.

"Sigh... I've been carrying this bastard for thirteen months. I've taken so many pills to try and abort it, but nothing works..."

Xiaodan looked helplessly at her swollen belly. After staying here for a few months, her belly swelled up, and she was pregnant. She didn't even know whose child it was! She wanted to abort the fetus, but no matter how many pills she was given, it was useless. Moreover, Geng Zhong repeatedly comforted her, saying that it was a life and shouldn't be killed like this, so she decided to give birth to this child.

Touching her bulging belly, she couldn't help but sigh, why wasn't this child Yun Ao's? She had had sexual relations with so many men, but not with him... She couldn't help but smile bitterly. This child had stayed in her belly for thirteen months. Heaven knows what kind of monster it would be born. Was this punishment for her?

"Mother... I just heard people in the market down the mountain say that the new emperor has ascended the throne, abolished the Eastern Depot, and dismissed and exiled Wei the eunuch."

Geng Zhong said excitedly.

"Hmm...actually, I already know..."

Xiaodan nodded faintly. She had been closely following the developments. Her choice to remain hidden was partly due to her pregnancy and partly because she didn't want to clash with Zhang Ruoshui again. After all, Zhang Ruoshui's cunning and treachery far surpassed her own, and she truly didn't want to lose someone she cared about. But it had been so long since she'd heard from her sworn sister, Aoxue. How was she?

If she had fallen into Wei Yan's hands, perhaps her life wouldn't be in danger. Now that Wei Yan was at his wit's end, would she appear? What wicked scheme would Zhang Ruoshui devise this time?

That night, Xiaodan, heavily pregnant, went alone into the forest to collect herbs. She was preparing to leave the mountains. Before setting off, she needed to be fully prepared, crafting enough poison and Great Rejuvenation Pills.

After her adoptive mother had left, Geng Zhong jumped out of bed and went to Yiting's bedside. He touched her pretty face and then forcefully tore open her bra and undergarment, revealing her large breasts that swayed in front of him.

Geng Zhong's eyes gleamed with lust as he took Yi Ting's large breast into his mouth and licked her nipple. With one hand, he stroked her bulging mons pubis between her legs, and his fingertips became wet after only a few strokes.

Yiting opened her eyes and smiled seductively, "Little devil, you've been naughty, haven't you? Let your auntie give your little stick a good reward..."

With that, she grabbed Geng Zhong and pulled him onto the bed, quickly unbuckling his belt to reveal his white penis. Yiting opened her small mouth and took the penis into her mouth...

On Mount Emei, Jing'en was sitting and chanting scriptures. After the great battle in the capital last year, the sect leader Liao'en mysteriously disappeared. Lian Xinyi and Yun Ao took Madam Min hostage and went through a series of adventures before finally rescuing Lian's two junior sisters. Xinyi crippled Madam Min's martial arts and imprisoned her in the back of Mount Emei. Liao'en's whereabouts were unknown, and he was very likely dead in the great explosion in the capital. Emei could not be without a leader. Jing'en originally wanted Xinyi to be the sect leader, but she politely declined, saying that the sect leader of Emei could not marry. However, she had already married Yun Ao, so only Jing'en was qualified to be the sect leader. Jing'en had no choice but to take the position of sect leader of Emei. Recently, she heard that Wei Yan had lost power, and she guessed that the martial arts world would be peaceful for a while.

Suddenly, a loud crash resounded, and the gate of the Emei Sect collapsed. A gigantic figure walked up step by step, saying, "You lowly nun from Emei... Why don't you come out and greet the Buddha who has graced this place with his presence today?"
