The saying went that the wrath of the emperor would result in millions of corpses and blood that flowed for thousands of miles while the wrath of scholars would result in a comet striking the moon and a halo in the sky. However, angered commoners had no choice but to remove their hats and shoes and helplessly knock their heads on the ground, leaving a trail of blood in their wake.
What about the wrath of a woman?
Naturally, an angered woman would go into hysterics and accept no reasoning. If she couldn't win with her arguments, she would scold. If she couldn't win with her scolding, she would hit. This had been the case since ancient times.
"Don't you feel shame for stealing someone else's man?"
"Yunhai doesn't know you at all! Don't flatter yourself!"
"We were childhood friends and sweethearts. If not for a vixen like you, why would he become the way he is now?"
"I think you're jealous that I'm more
Qian Shuhua was standing tall in the middle of the martial arts drilling ground while Lin Mei'er had fallen 10 meters away. They were surrounded by the academy students.Following the deep and resounding voice calling "Not satisfied!" earlier, a gap was created in the crowd of students. It was as if there was an invisible pair of hands separating the curtains of fog. Shortly after, five men walked in. The leader was tall and beefy and wore an arrogant expression. He had a square face, giving others the impression that he was a tall mountain. His expression immediately cooled after seeing a teary-eyed Lin Mei'er on the ground. "How audacious of a silly little girl still wet behind her ears to punish someone so arrogantly. Did you think the Luoyang subsidiary of Mount Shu is easily bullied? How dare a child from a merchant family provoke one of us when it comes to cultivation." The man first walked over to Lin Mei'er to help her up before turni
Qian Shuhua stared at Lin Shan who stood 10 meters away from her, watching how the flame continued to rise from the wooden sword in his hand. She felt like she was facing an insurmountable mountain. The scarlet flame seemed to be igniting all the air around them while wisps of smoke climbed into her vision. The figure of Lin Shan became blurry to her. Qian Shuhua tightened her hold on the spear as Ye Que's voice resounded inside her ears. "When a spear user stays still, she's like a mountain. When she moves, she's like a bolt of lightning. When there's a spear in her hand, the world is hers!" She placed the spear in front of her body and perfused it with True Energy, causing it to emit a faint black radiance. Though the radiance was dim, it was dense. Even though she knew she was facing a Physic Realm expert that she had no chance of prevailing over, she didn't feel the slightest inclination to retreat. It was because of the Tr
Qian Shuhua dreamed of petals of exquisite beauty, where peach blossom flowers formed an ocean. Two youngsters sat side by side on the branch of a peach blossom tree. The cool breeze brought with it a faint delight while the migratory birds cooed. It was a poetic and picturesque scene. She didn't know when but a rain of fire began to fall from the sky above. The flames rapidly ignited all the petals, set the peach blossom tree on fire, and burned the migratory birds to death. The youngers were also separated by the fire. Wonderland turned into purgatory. Qian Shuhua wanted to cry but no tears came. She wanted to scream for help but no voice came. All that was left in her vision was a field of red. Out of the blue. A pair of strong yet gentle arms embraced her. Slowly, the sea of purgatory fire extinguished. The cool breeze picked up, caressing the scorched plains. Young shoots quietly sprang from the ground, gradually replacing the blazing w
In the short span of an hour, 36 Branch Masters of the Divine Sect were all gathered in one place. Ye Que personally took charge of the meeting and put in order three missions. Qian Shuxiao didn't say a word throughout the meeting and kept his brows tightly knitted. After everyone had left, he could no longer hold himself back and said, "Brother Ye, is this the strategy that you've prepared? Isn't it a little lacking?" Ye Que glanced at him and replied, "Then what do you think we should do?" Without even thinking, Qian Shuxiao answered, "Start a war. Have a true battle with the Extinctive Sword Manor House and break the legs of that damned Lin Shan! I'll kill him for bullying my sister!" Ye Que shook his head, chuckling. "Isn't your plan the true child's play? Start a war against the Extinctive Sword Manor House? With what? With those hooligans that we took under our wings? Most of them just started cultivating three months ago
The moon and stars were pale in the quiet night. The inhabitants of Luoyang City had been struggling in the stifling heat for an entire day. The clouds that had gathered into a thick mass just before nightfall was so close to the ground that they seemed so close to touching the faraway Jinshan Temple. It was so stuffy that people could hardly breathe. Even cicadas, crickets, and toads had lost their zeal to bellow their grievances, only emitting weak cries when they simply couldn't bear the heat. First, the clouds obscured the moonlight. Then came the faint rumbling of thunder. One could even see bolts of lightning flashing in the crevices of the clouds. It seemed that a rainstorm was coming. A group of silhouettes sped along the path leading to the Extinctive Sword Manor House from the direction of Luoyang City. In no time at all, Ye Que showed up in the vicinity of the Manor House. Following right behind him were no less than
Early morning, Extinctive Sword Manor House. The head cook that had gone through a whipping personally led the group of menial workers that had been punished to kneel for an entire night to procure ingredients. Even though the head cook knew some martial arts for self-protection, it was impossible for him to walk or ride the horse after enduring 10 lashings of the whip. Fortunately, they had the five horse-drawn carriages meant for procurement. After helping his master settle down on the back of the carriage, Tian Xiaosi personally took the reins. The group of six were the earliest to leave the Manor House. Their carriage wobbled along the road to Luoyang City. From afar, the road was shrouded in the marble white fog of the mountain. The head cook had fallen asleep the moment they left the Manor House, perhaps because he didn't sleep well last night because the whipping was too vicious. He fell asleep and even began snoring. "W
The Prefectural Magistrate's Office of Luoyang was located in the middle of the southern line. It was accessible from all sides, making transportation convenient. The tip of Ye Que's foot had just touched the grounds of the Prefectural Magistrate's Office when a large crowd of commoners emerging swiftly from the 36 lanes of the city. Watching from a high vantage point, the stream of people looked like black threads. The point of their convergence was also the Prefectural Magistrate's Office. When the glorious Tang Empire was established, it was expressly stipulated in the law that all cases must be transparent and all investigation files were put on the public record to ease supervision. A significant crowd had gathered outside the lobby by the time the Senior Prefectural Official of Luoyang, Song Gongming, was prepared to begin the trials. If one were to take a careful look, one would easily discover that most of the Branch Masters of the D
Inner Hall of the Extinctive Sword Manor House. The disciples and stewards were gone, making Lin Shan and Lin Mei'er the only ones there. "There's something odd about what happened the past couple of days. I feel as if someone's deliberately trying to go against us." Lin Mei'er looked at Lin Shan with a frown, her face full of suspicion. "There's no doubt someone's trying to go against us." Lin Shan paced inside the Inner Hall, his anger still burning. "Should we seek Senior Brother Zhuo's advice? We can ask them to investigate this." Lin Mei'er pointed to an even deeper part of the Inner Hall, her voice carrying rare hesitation. Even though it was a distinguished and orthodox family, for some reason she felt distaste for Zhuo Bufan and the others. It wasn't fear; either way, she was unwilling to stay with them for too long. "No need." Lin Shan raised his head and snapped Lin Mei'er's line of thoughts. "Mount Shu
