It was already late in the night, and the Wu manor's Palace was brightly lit. In a luxurious room, under the flickering light of a candle, the glass beaded curtain was beaming with the radiance of a precious gem.

Pow!

This man was none other than the First Lady of the Wu Family's Patriarch, Wu Haoran.

At this moment, a middle-aged man wearing gray servant clothes knelt in front of the bed. His head was lowered and his eyes flickered with fear, not daring to look her in the eye.

"Are you sure that the three people you sent out were killed in that trash, Wu Hao's, courtyard?" Jiao Ruhua's gaze was like lightning, staring straight at the middle aged man in front of him, the sharpness in her eyes flickered.

"According to the rumors on the City Lord's Mansion Law Enforcement Squadron's side, two hours ago, Wu Hao's servant, Mu Qian, brought out three corpses from the courtyard. After this subordinate found out, it was none other than the three servants the First Lady sent out!" The middle-aged man raised his head. When he saw the fierce gaze, his entire body couldn't help but shiver. He quickly lowered his head again, not daring to meet his gaze.

After Jiao Ruhua heard these words, her face darkened, and the look in her eyes became even sharper.

"The death of three servants is not enough to be regretted, but he, Wu Hao, is just a piece of trash, not even at the First Sky of the Nascent Realm, and that old bones and that little girl, they are all mere commoners. How could they kill three warriors of the First Sky of the Nascent Realm at the same time with their thin arms and thin legs that don't even have the strength to tie a chicken up?" Jiao Ruhua said in a heavy voice.

Hearing this, the middle-aged man took a deep breath, mustered up the courage to raise his head, and replied: "First Lady, this subordinate thinks that this matter is very strange, the three of them are all unrestricted, but the three of them were all killed at the same time, so this subordinate thinks that …"

"Think what?" Jiao Ruhua raised her eyebrows and asked.

"This subordinate thinks that there is someone secretly protecting Wu Hao from the back. When the three servants tried to kill him, they were killed by the person who was protecting him from the shadows. That way, it would make sense!"

"That slut's son, Wu Haoran did indeed send someone to protect him secretly …" An intense rage flashed across Jiao Ruhua's face, and he said: "It's already been more than ten years, and you still haven't given up. That slut still wants to protect that slut after she's gone!"

"First Lady, there is less than a year before the Tianwu Gate has to accept disciples from the outside, and only people who have obtained a spot from the royal family can successfully enter, regardless of their talent or rank, right now, Wu Hao is the young master's biggest obstacle, if he does not remove him in a single day, it is highly likely that he will threaten young master, thus, First Lady, you have to think of a way to get rid of him before the old master returns back to the palace." The middle-aged man's eyes flashed with a sinister light as he spoke to her.

Hearing that, Jiao Ruhua muttered to herself for a moment, then asked: "Now, how is Yu Er's injury?"

"En!" Jiao Ruhua nodded to him, then gritted her teeth and said fiercely: "Yu Er is still too weak, to actually be so careless and onto that trash's path, and even almost disfigured, I wish I could tear him apart quickly!"

"Madam has no way to quickly raise Young Master's cultivation, and then have him publicly challenge Wu Hao, and take the chance to get rid of him before Old Master returns!"

"Are you saying that during the challenge …"

"Yes, First Lady. As long as the young master's cultivation is high enough, during the challenge competition, you will be able to kill him off by surprise. Even if there is someone secretly protecting him, it will be impossible for him to save him.

I just so happened to get someone to bring out a bottle of gas gathering solution s from the imperial family for me, so help me feed it to Yu Er. With it, Yu Er can break through two levels of cultivation wouldn't be a problem, when that happens …

Jiao Ruhua said as her eyes revealed a strong killing intent. She reached her hand into the dresser next to the bed and took out a three inch jade bottle, handing it over to the middle aged man.

"Go and give it to Yu Er to consume. Challenge that trash Wu Hao within three days!"

"Yes, First Lady, this subordinate will handle it."

It was already deep into the night, and Wu Hao's room was completely dark.

Wave after wave, like the tides, kept crashing against the beach.

In his previous life, Wu Hao had lived for tens of thousands of years, bestowing the title of Ancestor and establishing a Clear Sky Empire.

It could be said that other than Zhi Zun Hong Wu, he was the Ancestor of the Martial Dao that was above tens of thousands of people. He was extremely familiar with the cultivation system of the lower realm's three thousand realms.

The current Mountain and Sea Realm's cultivation system was exactly the same as when he was in the Great Thousand World.

On the path of martial dao, the peak was Transcendence, and the peak was Zhizun realm.

The path of martial arts was divided into two main stages, namely mortal and godly.

The mortal realm was divided into nine realms: Elementary, Nascent, Embryonic, Core Formation, Infant Movement, Great Void, Soul Formation, and Nine Tribulations. There were nine realms in total, and each realm was further divided into one to nine Layered Heavens.

As a mortal, he was born with 180 meridians, and every meridian was blocked. Therefore, in order to become a martial artist, one had to first condense inner force to open up the meridians in the body, allowing the condensed inner force to be stored inside the meridians.

There was a total of nine stages in the Houtian realm. Every time twenty meridians were opened or excavated, there would be one stage in the Houtian realm.

In other words, the meridian that Wu Hao opened using the Heaven Martial God's Art during the day could already be considered as the cultivation of the first stage of the Houtian realm.

However, it was only the weakest of the first stage of the Refinement Realm. Just by using a little bit of inner force, he would be able to exhaust all of his inner force, just like how he was able to treat Mu Qian and his injuries.

In the past, Wu Hao's innate body could condense inner force that was not tyrannical enough, causing him to be unable to break through the blockages in his meridians.

But the current him who possessed the Heaven Martial God's Art was different. As he worked hard to condense the energy, the amount of inner strength accumulated in his meridians grew more and more, becoming more and more overbearing.

One night.

To cultivators, it was just a matter of closing their eyes and opening them.

As the color of the east side was turning white, Wu Hao, who was sitting on his bed, spat out a mouthful of impure air. He slowly opened his eyes, and golden lightning flashed in the depths of his eyes.

The soul consciousness took a look inside and discovered that five of the energy channels had been continuously opened and blocked overnight. Adding the one that was opened yesterday, there were a total of six energy channels filled with energy.

Looking at it now, Wu Hao who usually had a gloomy temperament, was now glowing with radiance. Although the clothes he wore was not elegant, it did not affect the temperament that he faintly revealed.

"Cultivation cannot be blind. Especially martial cultivation. We must cultivate both inside and outside. At the same time, we must also have some Spiritual Materials in order to quickly and safely raise our cultivation. Next up, I will …"

Wu Hao muttered to himself. He had already made up his mind.

After getting up, he greeted Mu Qian and Xiao Cui. Under their shocked faces, he started to practice his powerful fist technique in the courtyard.

This was called Overlord's fist, it was a tyrannical fist technique, using inner force was extremely tyrannical, and the power of the attack was also extremely tyrannical.

This fist technique was equipped with the overbearing internal force that he was currently using, it could be said to be excellent, as if it was tailored for his body.

After fighting with hundreds of rounds of Overlord's fist, Wu Hao was exhausted to the point of sweating, fully displaying the flexibility within his body.

At this moment, he noticed that there was a willow tree as thick as a bucket in the courtyard.

It was afternoon and the sun was high in the sky.

A youth slowly walked out of the back courtyard of the Royal City Palace's Wu manor's gate. This youth was Wu Hao, who had trained for an entire morning in the Overlord's fist and rested for a bit after eating a meal.

Wu Hao raised his head and looked at the scorching sun above him, the corners of his mouth raised into a curve, his eyes glanced at the servant of the Wu family not far behind him, and an evil smile flashed past his face.

His ruthless killing of the three Wu family servants had aroused Jiao Ruhua's fear and did not dare to send any more warriors over. He only sent one ordinary servant, who did not have any cultivation, to follow him from afar.

Not paying attention to such a small character, Wu Hao slowly walked along the small path towards the busiest and most lively street of Royal City, the Emperor's Center.

This line lasted for an hour. Finally, he arrived at the bustling and bustling Royal Center Street and started walking aimlessly.

In fact, he was looking for a target that could allow him to earn money quickly.

To cultivate was to plunder, only the strong could be chivalrous.

If he wanted to become strong quickly, he couldn't do it without powerful resources. Thus, he had to earn some money first before he could buy the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Materials needed for cultivation.

After walking for another half an hour, he stopped in front of a medicinal shop called 'Listening to the Rain'. There were quite a few people gathered there, making it look quite lively. Therefore, he could not help but walk in.
