Chapter 21 The Emperor's Envoy
Shi family.
After the Shi family patriarch banished the elders, he began distributing the pills to trustworthy members and guards. The strength of the Shi household rose to great peaks as the lowest of the guards was at the spirit awakening realm.
The news of the Shi family rising in strength and wealth spread all over the city, and after weeks it spread throughout the empire.
Bei family.
"What do you mean, the Shi family took over our mine?"
"Yes, ancestor."
"What happened to Bei Feng? What has he been doing when I was in seclusion?"
"Ancestor Patriarch Feng went to the Shi family to marry the Granddaughter of the shi family to young master Chong; he and his group have not been seen since then."
"When did they go there?"
"A month ago, ancestor."
Listening to his subordinate, the Bei family ancestor at the spirit emperor realm released his energy as the guard was sent flying.
He has been in seclusion since he broke through the spirit emperor realm to solidify his base. The moment he came out, the bad news was all he received; news about the Shi family\'s businesses and mines taken over and how strong the Shi family had become.
This news was not all that bothered him because he thought that no matter how strong the Shi family is, they would never have a spirit Emperor realm cultivator among them; the news was his son, not seen after going to the Shi family to propose marriage, this was a little confusing.
Although Bei Feng was at the spirit king realm, that should be enough for the Shi family as their strongest was at the spirit awakening realm; and how none of his guards was seen was also a mystery.
Bei Lu began to worry as he spoke to the fallen guard.
"Check on the other businesses and mines and see if they are attacked, and tell the elders to follow me to the Shi family to wipe them out for good."
The guard obeyed as he moved out. Bei Lu rose in the air as he headed for the Shi family; minutes later, some elders began appearing out of the void; these elders were at the spirit king realm, with some almost breaking to the next realm.
"Congratulations to the ancestor for achieving the Spirit Emperor realm; now, the emperor would think twice before confronting our Bei family."
An elder spoke as he flew beside Bei Lu; he congratulated him on currying favor as they now have a Spirit Emperor cultivator.
The others noticed, but no one took action; another elder asked the ancestor.
"Ancestor, what makes the Shi family capable for us to assemble our entire force?"
"There is news about the Shi family acquiring a treasure and then becoming strong; their members have become strong, and their businesses are also opening all over again, they owned us debt, but they paid in full; not even half but in whole. This only proves that they must have discovered a treasure, and many powerhouses will not let such an opportunity slide as they will also be going where we are going. So that\'s the reason we need our entire force."
The elders heard this as they became thrilled; if they reach the Shi family first, doesn\'t this mean the treasure is theirs?.
Thoughts like this circled in the elder\'s minds, even the ancestor; he was going to use his son\'s death as an excuse and exterminate the shi family while taking the treasure for himself. He grinned as they headed for the Shi household.
City Gate.
At the city gate entrance, one could see gold lion beasts pulling a cart designed with gold and sparkling rings chained to them.
"Omg, is that the Emperor\'s envoy? What is he doing here?"
"I heard that the Shi family had discovered a treasure that can make them grow faster in cultivation and at higher realms at that."
People saw the cart as they became afraid, and some guessed the reasons. The Emperor\'s envoy rarely visits the cities and families as he will send his servants to do it; his coming meant that this was a severe problem that required the Emperor\'s intervention.
"Get out of the way, you weak peasants!"
The soldiers leading the cart spoke as he sat on his horse while carrying a whip; he was at the spirit king ninth stage.
That\'s how strong the Emperor of the Ju empire was to have an envoy with a spirit king ninth stage bodyguard.
"Envoy Yan, we are at the city where the Shi family resides; should we head there straight or should we send guards to bring them to us?"
Arrogant words came out as the guard asked the envoy, Yan Chi. Yan Chi was the servant of the first prince before he became Emperor after fighting all the rivals.
Yan Chi became the envoy as he enjoyed his power and wealth; he was only sent to other neighboring empires for business, but this time, he was sent to a city, not an empire, and to a family that he will soon exterminate after he finds the said treasure that the Shi family have discovered.
"There\'s no need; we are going there anyway, and many powers will also be there. A treasure that can increase cultivation and boost realms is one not found even in the immortal realm, and we must also expect the Shi patriarch to have broken through at least the Spirit Emperor realm or higher, as their lowest guard was at the spirit awakening realm."
"Envoy Yan doesn\'t need to worry; even if he is a divine spirit, we can use the puppet sects emperor level puppet to kill him."
The guard spoke confidently as he reassured himself that they still have a puppet to use if things go south. They continued towards the Shi family.
Shi Family.
Shi Long was in meditation when suddenly, he felt considerable powers rushing towards his residence; he has spread the news as the Shi family found a sacred treasure that can boost cultivation speed and development.
He planned to eliminate all their enemies at once and stay from politics.
The Bei family was the first to arrive as Bei Lu used a formation to lock the space around the Shi household and also prevent others from entering.
"Shi Long, come out and hand over the treasure, then perhaps I will leave you corpse intact and spear your granddaughter from humiliation."
Bei Lu said shamelessly as he held his head high.
But the place was quiet as a grave; no sounds could be heard, or guards could be seen. This confused Bei Lu, so he ordered to destroy the buildings; but no one responded.
"What is wrong with you fools? I said destroy everything in sight and leave nothing alive."
Bei Lu growled as he turned around to yell at the elders he brought with him, only to find no one behind him in the air; he looked down and found corpses lying on the ground with no heads as they spray blood all over.
"Now that the flies are gone, it\'s time to take care of the rats."
A voice came from above him as he looked; he saw Shi Long floating with a strong presence around him as he had fiery glowing eyes.
"Let\'s not be rude and allow others the opportunity to die in my hand now, shall we?"
Bei Lu became even more confused as he saw Shi Long speaking calmly without the slightest bit of worry, and his words sounded nonchalant as if joking, but before he finished analyzing his thoughts, he saw the formation he used destroyed in an instant; the moment the formation was destroyed, many powers flew in the Shi household as the envoy came off the cart as he also floated next to the other powerhouses.
"Now that everyone is here, why don\'t we begin the slaughter game?"
Shi Long spoke as he released his true immortal energy.
Patrick and his wives saw this on a large screen as they lay in the bed naked, just done having a threesome. Patrick made popcorn appear as they treated this as nothing but a show to enjoy.
Anthem and Anna both had hands-on Patrick\'s dick playing with it, thighs on his legs, and heads on his chest, while the popcorn floated in their mouths as they enjoyed the show. Patrick spoke.
"Let the show begin."
