Chapter 2242: Everyone Is Trash

In an instant, all hope had turned to dust. She'd even entertained thoughts of ending her own life. When she thought about how she was nothing more than a tool for men to show off to each other, she'd felt as if the entire world had lost color.

But now, she felt as if color had returned to the world.

My judgment of men wasn’t wrong after all. He did this to protect me.

But she quickly realized the implication behind his words.

Is he prepared to act against King Wu Manor?

When he saw his own wife lean into the arms of another man in front of everyone else’s eyes, and the way they looked at each other with so much affection, King Wu completely lost it. “Bastard Zu, you’ve crossed the line!”

“That’s something King Wu must’ve heard many times recently, if I’m not mistaken,” Zu An remarked, his expression cold.

This guy had been causing all manner of chaos in the capital, and many clans had been left destitute and homeless. When had he ever shown mercy when he was denounced by them? When he thought about Gao Ying’s encounter, Liu Ning’s disappearance, and now the near-disappearance of the Jiang clan, he felt really out of sorts.

It would be really easy to deal with King Wu, but to hit him where it truly hurt, Zu An would have to attack the areas he cared about the most. That was why he decided to raise Yun Yuqing’s chin with his finger, then lowered his head to kiss her.

Weren’t you always putting on that act of being a perfect couple, that you were deeply in love and taking full advantage of its benefits? Today, I’ll completely crush all of that. Let’s see how you plan to become the emperor once you become the laughingstock of the entire world.

“Mmm...” Yun Yuqing moaned. Her head went completely blank, and she instinctively responded to him.

It’s okay. Either way, King Wu and I are only husband and wife in name. This is the perfect chance to let everyone know that I'm Ah Zu’s woman...

When he saw that, King Wu’s eyes went as wide as they could go, and he bit his lip so hard that blood almost came out. However, he discovered with great shame that he was actually getting a bit stimulated. However, when he sensed the changes that were happening to his body, he became even angrier. He shouted, “Kill him, kill him right now! Whomever cuts him will be rewarded a thousand gold and be promoted three grades. The one who kills him will obtain a noble title that can be inherited!”

I don’t care what they do in private, but what about my dignity when you’re doing this in broad daylight?

The surrounding people watched all of this unfold with widened eyes. The events that were playing out really were too shocking! Most importantly, the beautiful and noble queen didn’t even resist at all. It looked as if she was completely willing and even proactively extending her tongue.

King Wu’s soldiers quickly rushed at Zu An with brandished blades. The information lower-rank soldiers like them had was naturally limited. Even though they had heard of the regent’s power, they still saw him as a single man. How could he face an entire army alone?

As for the direct supporters of King Wu, now that their king had been insulted, they naturally had to share in his woes. Besides, the reward was just too enticing. If they could really kill Zu An, they would obtain a noble title that could be inherited! They would rise from being petty soldiers to noblemen! Most of the noble clans of the Great Zhou Dynasty had ancestors who had been mere soldiers or low-rank generals, but they had managed to kill important individuals from enemy forces, which allowed them to immediately soar to greatness.

Even though Zu An’s cultivation was extremely high, he was only one person. There was no way he could be a match for an entire army; that was common knowledge!

In particular, the regent was kissing the queen and didn’t seem to be paying them any attention at all. Such an overconfident attitude created an even better opportunity to exploit.

It seems we misunderstood the queen. She's using her own beauty to ensnare the regent so he won’t be able to deal with all of us. She’s creating an opportunity for us!

Many soldiers formed small groups, and formations began to activate between them before linking into a larger formation. A faint blue glow emanated from the formation runes. The soldiers then all charged forth excitedly. From the looks in their eyes, it was as if they weren’t looking at a cultivator, but rather at a stepping stone to wealth.

Zu An didn’t even move at all and continued to kiss Yun Yuqing.

However, the soldiers suddenly sensed a tremendous pressure descending upon them while they were charging. All of them were filled with fear and a desire to prostrate themselves that came from deep within.

Cling, clang!

The weapons in the soldiers’ hands scattered across the ground, and all of them kneeled down, their bodies shaking all over. As for the runes designed to deal with powerful cultivators, which had been surrounding them just a moment before, they only shone for a single second before shattering to pieces.

Many soldiers’ bodies exploded on the spot, killing them instantly. As a result, the surrounding soldiers were even more frightened. They continued to kowtow and beg for mercy.

Only Jiang Luofu could tell that Zu An wasn’t killing at random, and that all those who died were the ones who had brutally killed the Jiang clan’s people and harassed the Jiang clan’s womenfolk. She sighed deeply.

Ah Zu actually went so far to appease my anger.

If this had been any other time, she'd probably have been incredibly moved. But now...

She looked at the two who were passionately kissing and frowned.

Can you not be embracing another woman when you want me to be grateful?

Jiang Boyang was also incredibly shocked, partly due to Madam Wu’s relationship, and partly because of the unfathomable strength Zu An had revealed. He had previously served as a military officer and understood the advantage an army had over a single person quite well. King Wu had only taken his elite troops with him, and even though he hadn't brought a massive army with him due to the limitations of space, there were still formations involved. Even if the most powerful grandmaster encountered this setup, they would be forced to run away.

And yet, Zu An didn’t even seem to have done anything, but the entire army was already crushed!

King Wu and the others were petrified. He'd known that Zu An was strong, and hadn’t expected his army to be able to defeat the latter. But it should still have been a bloody battle for better or for worse, right? They should have been able to exhaust quite a bit of Zu An’s strength, right?

And yet, Zu An hadn’t even moved a hand, but King Wu's subordinate elites were all kneeling on the ground.

And he's still carrying Yuqing, as if to taunt me!

Does Yuqing really need to look as if she’s that into it? She's never shown me that bashful side of hers before!

“My king, please don’t panic. This old one is here!” the long-bearded elder said reassuringly.

Even though the pressure was strong, the soldiers further away could all endure it. As a result, the elder didn’t know that the pressure was only meant to deal with the soldiers nearby and assumed that Zu An was exaggerating his strength. He didn’t know how Zu An had managed to deal with the army so easily, but it seemed like an ability meant to deal with lower-rank soldiers. It wouldn’t end up affecting stronger cultivators, right?

When he sensed the elder's composure, King Wu immediately felt much better. “Elder Lin!”

This Elder Lin was a powerful follower whom he had recruited using a lot of wealth in the past. King Wu had always been an ambitious person, and had already recruited a lot of powerful cultivators. Those warriors had all been extremely proud and unwilling to yield to each other. All of them had believed themselves to be the strongest.

Eventually, after competing against each other several times, the experts in King Wu Manor had determined which four were the strongest, and they'd been unable to win against each other. In the end, they had acknowledged each other's strength and were named the Four Great Attendants by King Wu. The one who had forced back Jiang Boyang with a single palm was one of these four attendants. One could see how high their cultivation ranks were from that.

Later, Elder Lin had joined King Wu Manor, and his arrogant behavior provoked the four attendants. One of the attendants had decided to teach him a lesson, but he was defeated by a single move. After that, Elder Lin said mockingly, ‘I am not targeting you specifically, but rather think that everyone here is trash’. That had ended up causing a huge uproar at the time.

The other three attendants had been furious and attacked him together with the other cultivators of the king manor, but they were all defeated shortly after. Several cultivators had even died from Elder Lin's heavier strikes. That battle had solidified his position as the strongest in King Wu Manor. From then on, no one dared to provoke him anymore. There were many who had privately claimed that he was the strongest under the earth immortal rank. Some others even suspected that he had already broken through into that level.

That was why King Wu immediately felt relieved when he heard what Elder Lin said.

It seems like Elder Lin must be confident, since he said that.

Just then, Elder Lin looked at Zu An. “Distinguished sir, you're seizing the madam in front of everyone. Aren’t you looking down on this old one a bit too much?”

He could naturally tell that the madam was fully willing, but he still had to give King Wu some face.

Zu An and Yun Yuqing’s lips parted. As he looked at the bits of saliva that remained as the queen’s rosy lips moved back, King Wu’s eyes twitched.

You have successfully trolled Zhao Yan for +444 +444 +444...

“We're a talented man and a beautiful woman who are each other’s sunshine. Do we need the comments of an ugly bastard like you?” Zu An retorted as he let go of Yun Yuqing, although it wasn’t because of that elder. Rather, it was because she could suffocate if he continued to kiss her.

When she heard how he described the two of them, Yun Yuqing’s face turned red.

King Wu felt as if his heart had been cut out when he saw his wife suddenly become bashful.

You have successfully trolled Zhao Yan for +577 +577 +577...

Elder Lin even choked briefly.

You have successfully trolled Lin Duanshui for +499 +499 +499...

Only after some time did he snap out of his daze. “Youngster, don’t be too arro...”

Before he even finished his sentence, he suddenly saw Zu An raise his hand. Then, a second later, he lost his center of gravity and he was instantly sucked into Zu An’s hand.

Crack!

Just like that, his neck drooped. His limbs lost all resistance and fell limp like noodles.

“What was he about to say?” Zu An casually tossed Elder Lin’s corpse aside and looked at the nearby King Wu. He was now the underworld emperor and held the authority of the world. He'd thus been able to discern all of the emotions that were going through Elder Lin before the latter died from a single look.

When he saw Zu An glance at him, King Wu felt goosebumps cover his body.
