Five days later, Wang Ju arrived in Bless Wings City. A few days ago, she received an urgent message from the young master to hurry over to see him as soon as possible.

After arriving in front of the city, the demonic beast she was riding fell to the ground, losing its breath forever. She looked at it and sighed. This was probably the 50th demonic beast that died due to exhaustion during her return journey.

​​

In order to rush here from the central regions, she kept changing beasts and rushed over without rest. If it was not due to her powerful cultivation, she herself might also die from exhaustion.

Soon, someone greeted her and led to a meeting that was taking place. Inside, she saw Wang Wei sitting on a chair with a calm look on his face.

Suddenly, Wang Ju's heart skipped a beat. As a powerful cultivator, she was extremely sensitive. She suddenly felt a terrifying fury emanating from her young master. A furry strong enough to destroy everything between Heaven and Earth.

She wondered who was the unfortunate fool to make the young master like this. Whoever it was, he or she was bound to pay a terrible price.

As one of the people closest to him and knew him the best, she has only seen the young master this furious once.

It was when he was young and caught one of the Wang clan branch members killing a maid for no reason.

After that incident, she knew that person and all his family members immediately lost the Wang family surname and all became mortals for the rest of their life.

After seeing Wang Ju, Wang Wei began the meeting. First thing he did was to mention to Wang Ju what happened here.

After receiving the news, Wang Ju was not that surprised. Despite her youthful appearance, she has lived quite a long time relative to mortals. In all her years, she has experienced quite a few things.

Especially when she was competing for the jobs of head maid. The amount of physical and spiritual torture she experience in order to become a qualified maid and information gatherer is known only to her.

As such, she knows the horrors of war. In fact, she was aware of the mistake of the young master. As the person in charge of information, she is somewhat aware of the military plan and actions of the group--despite being far away from them. She often attended military discussions through communication talismans.

However, she did not mention it because she was warned by the Elders not to interfere with the trial and just execute orders that were given.

This trial is not only for the young master to gather luck, but a way to experience life and temper him through hardship.

And what better way to learn and grow than making mistakes? As such, despite noticing the errors in their military deployment, Wang Ju did not say anything.

After filling Wang Ju in the loop, Wang Wei began his next plan. He looked at Li Jun and Yan Liling who still had puffy eyes and said, "No more playing around. This war needs to end and it needs to end quickly. When you guys attack from now on, there is no need to let the army fight each other to decide the outcome."

"Use your powerful cultivation to directly kill the commanders of the army, open the city gates, and subjugate the enemy's army. And if they resist, you can use force to subdue them."

Although Wang Wei knew that the majority of the people in the armies are ordinary commoners and are mostly forced, he decided to use fast and brutal means to end this war. And if a few more casualties are necessary to achieve this, then so be it.

After that, Wang Wei looked at Wang Ju and ordered:

"I need you to go to the capital and monitor the whole royal family at all times. Make sure that not a single one manages to leave or escape. Do not hesitate to break the seal in your cultivation if needed."

Wang Wei had a fierce killing intent in his eyes when he said this. He did not plan to let any of them leave alive when he got to them.

After the meeting, Wang Wei and the group left for a monument in the middle of the city. It was made of nine huge rocks that were cut smoothly. Many names were engraved on them. 12.6 millions names to be exact.

Due to the large number of people dead, Wang Wei could not bury them all, so he burned the bodies and set up this monument as a memorial.

After lighting three sticks of incense, Wang Wei bowed and said:

"All of you can go in peace as I swear to avenge you. I hope that when all of you reincarnate from Samsara, you can all be born into the prosperous dynasty that I'm going to establish."

"And if not, then may all of you be blessed with health and fortune in your next journey."

After the funeral, all the people of the group set out with their own army. Whether it was Wang Wei, Li Jun, Yan Liling, or General 4 and 5. Meanwhile, Wang Ju headed straight into the imperial capital.

After a few days of marching, Wang Wei arrived in front of another city. There, he saw a legion fully armed with spears and shields waiting for him. A brief scan showed that there were more than 250,000 soldiers.

Meanwhile, the commander was a man that looked like he was in his late 30's with a bearded face waiting for him. He downed a golden armor with a magical halberd by his side.

The commander looked at the tired army behind Wang Wei sneered at this so-called Wise Sage for making such a big mistake as marching his army without proper rest. He does not know why the royal family values these rebels so much.

Wang Wei looked at the well trained and well equipped army. Then he said to the commander, "I do not know who you are, but as long as you surrender, I can still spare your life."

Despite the fact that he did not yell or roar, his voice echoed throughout the entire plain, reaching every single member of the enemy's army and his own.

The commander frowned as he could tell that this person was actually a powerful cultivator. Even with his peak River Origin cultivation level, he could not do such a thing, nevertheless doing it so effortlessly.

However, he did not care. It was not the first time that he has used number tactics to kill powerful cultivators.

Upon seeing that the commander did not take his warning, he addressed the army directly instead, "The same goes to all you soldiers. There is no need to die in vain for these nobles who treat all of you like objects that can be thrown away anytime."

"All of you have mothers, wives, or children waiting for you back home. I give you my words that as long as you put down your weapons, I will spare your lives and allow you to return home. You should have heard my reputation as the Wise Sage. I always keep my words."

After hearing this gentle and powerful voice in their ears, many soldiers hesitated and wondered whether to just surrender in order to save their lives. After all, they had no real stake in this war.

However, the commander was an experienced veteran and immediately screamed, "Whoever becomes a deserter will suffer from military law and even your families will not be spared."

The soldiers then immediately removed the dangerous thought in their heads. The life of their families was now at stake.

After seeing this, Wang Wei did nor immediately give up and released a powerful aura to force the soldiers to submit and surrender.

However, as previously stated, the commander was a veteran in war. Without hesitation, he gave an order and a bunch of drums started to beat out loud in the battlefield.

Then, a red hue appeared above the soldiers effectively blocking Wang Wei's aura. This hue was the manifestation of the soldier slaughter aura or qi. The kingdom has developed ways to use the aura of slaughter of ordinary soldiers to defend against powerful cultivators.

After seeing this, Wang Wei sighed and did not say anything again. Without hesitation, he rushed towards the army.

His speed was so fast that he left countless after images on his trail. Then, countless arrows headed straight towards him.

There were so many of them that they covered sunlight from the clouds for a brief moment. However, Wang Wei did not care.

He mobilized his divine veins and controlled the spiritual qi of Heaven and Earth and covered himself with a shield.

All the arrows just bounced off Wang Wei' shield made of spiritual qi. After seeing this, the commander ordered the archers to all shoot at once instead of using the volley fire tactic.

However, it was of no use. None of the attacks can breach the shield. Meanwhile, Wang Wei did not stop rushing when he confronted the shield formation of the Eastern Kingdom's army.

He crashed head on with them and ultimately, he was the winner. All the shield and armor made of steel-like metal were crushed when hit with his fleshly body.

As for the soldiers, they shared the same fate as their weapons. Many of them exploded into flesh and bones after the initial impact. While others were thrown away by the wind generated by Wang Wei's rapid movement.

Leaving a trail of flesh and blood in his wake, Wang Wei headed straight for the commander without stopping.

When Wang Wei reached less than a thousand meters from him, the commander panicked and ordered a special army that was very close to him to attack with all their strength.

Following which, Wang Wei found countless origin abilities were launched at him. There was fire, water, vines, lightning, and ice that covered the sky like the end of the world in an apocalypse movie.

Upon seeing this, he guessed that this was an army made of cultivators. However, Wang Wei did not care. These attacks did not even break through his spiritual qi shield, let alone his fleshly body.

Countless explosions happened when these attacks hit Wang Wei. Many of the soldiers became casualties due to friendly fire. However, none of the attacks had any effect.

Whether it was the high temperature of the fire, the freezing effects of the ice, the numbing and paralyzing effects of the lightning, or the entanglements of the vines, none of them could stop Wang Wei.

As such, he continued to rush towards the commander. Less than hundred meters away from his destination, countless walls rose up from the ground and surrounded the commander to protect him.

Nonetheless, the result was still the same. Wang Wei's fleshly body pierced the more than 10 meters thick wall and headed straight for the commander.

Meanwhile, in the brief period of time that these walls bought him, the commander calmed himself down and prepared his weapon to fight back.

When he saw the Wise Sage coming out the walls without his shield, a glimpse of happiness appeared on his face and attacked with all his strength with the halberd in his hand.

However, to the shock and horror of the commander, Wang Wei just blocked his attack with his bare hand.

This was truly a horrifying experience for the commander. This weapon was his hidden card as it was a low level Earth grade weapon that he got by chance.

This weapon was so precious that he almost could not keep it. Many of the elders in his family wanted him to hand it over to the clan. If his father did not intervene and use the fact that this weapon was bound to his soul, he might not be able to keep it to this day.

While the commander was briefly distracted, Wang Wei had already reached him.

When the commander came back to his senses, he saw that he was no longer on his horse and was floating in the air.

When he looked down, he saw a bloody hand had pierced his body all the way to his back and was holding him above ground.

When his gaze followed the hand to its owner, he saw a pair of grey eyes looking at him with coldness and indifference.

Deep in those eyes, the commander saw a grey-white string attached to his body was cut off, then everything went black.
