Chapter 30: Dongxing Kingdom's Ruler, Huo Lianhai!:
(In the capital city of Dongxing Kingdom)
At the royal square, the annual Dongxing Tournament was in full swing...
The vast square was crowded with spectators, forming a dense black mass.
The so-called Dongxing Tournament was a competition for the younger generation, open to cultivators under 30 years old.
The top three winners wouldn't only gain ranks and titles but also receive various cultivation resources as rewards.
Today was the final day to determine the top three, and even the Dongxing Kingdom's ruler, Huo Lianhai, was watching from a pavilion in the city.
...
The battle on the stage was intense.
The audience was captivated, watching with bated breath...
But suddenly, everyone’s attention turned to the sky, where they saw a mesmerizing scene that left them spellbound.
A woman in a red dress was standing there.
Her figure was enchanting, exuding endless charm. Her appearance made everything else seem dull in comparison, even causing the two fighters on the stage to pause.
The woman in the red dress held candy apple sticks in her hands, eating them with delight, which added a unique touch to her enchanting aura.
“Are you the ruler of the Dongxing Kingdom?” She asked, looking toward the pavilion.
“Yes, it's me! May I ask what business brings a fairy here to see me?”
A middle-aged man in dragon robes flew out from the pavilion and stood before the woman in red.
This man was none other than Huo Lianhai, the ruler of the Dongxing Kingdom!
He appeared to be around forty years old... but in reality, he was over a hundred.
Attaining the Core Formation Realm extends one’s lifespan to a thousand years, causing a rejuvenation effect, which made him look young.
His heart was equally youthful.
When he looked at the woman in red, his gaze was hotter than anyone else’s present.
“It’s nothing major…”
“I just wanted to give someone a gift, but I didn’t know what to give, so I thought I’d borrow your position as the ruler for a while!”
The woman in red giggled, finishing the last apple candy.
Then, she casually tossed the bamboo stick.
In an instant...
The surrounding spiritual Qi surged violently like a storm, stirring wildly.
Finally, all the spiritual Qi gathered on the small bamboo stick transformed it into a streak of light that vanished.
Swish…
When the stick reappeared, it was embedded into the forehead of Huo Lianhai, the ruler of the Dongxing Kingdom!
Huo Lianhai, who had just opened his mouth to say a second sentence, found he couldn’t speak.
The vast spiritual Qi contained in the small bamboo stick had completely shattered his sea of consciousness.
Seeing this scene, the entire royal square fell silent.
Many hadn’t yet realized what had happened...
To be precise, they saw it with their eyes but couldn’t process it in their minds.
Thus, they stood frozen, their expressions fixed in place.
Thud!
Huo Lianhai’s body fell from the sky, landing on the stage below.
The sound was like a boulder splashing into a calm lake, causing an emotional eruption among the people in the square.
“The king... the king is dead?!”
“Oh my God, who is this woman? The king was a middle-stage Core Formation Realm expert! And she killed him with a bamboo stick from an apple candy!”
“Killed a Core Formation Realm expert in one move... What realm is this woman in? When did the Dongxing Kingdom have such a powerful being?”
“I don’t know! Normally, such a powerful figure wouldn’t care about the position of the Dongxing Kingdom’s ruler.”
“She did mention giving it as a gift to someone. Heaven help us, it’s the first time I’ve heard of gifting a ruler’s position!”
“What I’m more curious about is... who is this person that’s worthy of such a gift from this fairy?”
The crowd murmured louder than its cheers during the tournament.
After all, the tournament was just a competition.
But the death of the ruler signified a change in the kingdom’s ruler!
Of course, they weren’t too surprised. In this world, it’s survival of the fittest, with constant battles for power.
Huo Lianhai himself had seized the ruler’s position by killing the previous ruler a decade ago.
...
Soon after, the woman in red left the capital city, carrying the kingdom’s imperial seal and the keys to the treasury.
But before she left...
All the citizens of the capital heard her words loud and clear:
“Qingyun City, Ye Family!”
From now on, this family became a taboo in the Dongxing Kingdom...
