Best Young Master

Yanjing Imperial City!

The sprawling historical architecture is magnificent, filled with the accumulation of time and the vicissitudes of history.

Enduring dynastic changes and trials by fire, it stands unwavering.

This place is the heart of Huaxia, the center of power, a holy land in the hearts of the descendants of Yanhuang.

Since Ye Wenhao came to power, he has fully demonstrated his formidable talents and vision.

Under his leadership, the Huaxia Alliance is stable, prosperous, and thriving.

His safety naturally became a top priority.

Yan personally dispatched masters to be stationed at his office, alongside elite guards selected from the military, to protect his safety.

In the Royal Garden where he works, it is densely populated with masters and hidden agents from the Yanhuang Organization.

Though it isn’t three steps to a post and five steps to a lookout, even birds find it hard to enter.

"Swoosh!"

The sound of breaking through the air rang out, and an ancient bronze warship sliced through the sky, reaching the suburbs of Yanjing.

To avoid creating a disturbance, alerting Ye Wenhao, the bronze warship landed in the suburbs.

Xu Wuji and Xu Changxuan did not conceal themselves, unfolding their movement technique, heading straight for the Royal Garden.

Over the past ten years, powerful martial artists have repeatedly appeared before the general public.

Because of this, ordinary people have become accustomed, not surprised anymore.

The others also infiltrated Yanjing along with the crowd, ready to launch a surprise attack, disarm and seize power at any time.

Passing through a cluster of buildings, Xu Wuji and Xu Changxuan quickly approached the Royal Garden.

"Halt!"

"Who are you? What do you want?"

The two did not hide their figures, and as they approached, they were immediately discovered by nearby guards and hidden masters from the Yanhuang Organization. An armed guard and a master from the Yanhuang Organization came forward to question them.

They had no idea that as they approached, Death God had silently descended upon them.

"King Yan, here to claim souls!"

Xu Wuji sneered, his hands swept out, as fast as lightning, two rays of light flashed past, imprinting on the chests of the two.

"Thud!"

"Thud!"

The two were struck like by lightning, unable to react at all, just feeling a sudden pain in their hearts, spraying out a mouthful of fresh blood, their whole bodies flying backward.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

The sound of heavy objects hitting the ground came, the two heavily thrown to the ground, bleeding from the seven orifices, dead without breath.

Walking all the way in, Xu Wuji was like a Killing God, casually defeating any guards and Yanhuang Organization masters who came to question.

All along, corpses littered the ground, the smell of blood quietly pervaded the entire Royal Garden, no one was spared, and even no alarm could be raised.

Soon, the two entered the Royal Garden, heading straight for Ye Wenhao’s office.

Ye Wenhao’s office was very conspicuous, the large national emblem above the entrance gleamed brightly in the sunlight.

Time is like a knife, pressing each blade upon old age!

Inside the office building, Ye Wenhao’s upright posture was slightly haggard, his deep eyes flickering with wise brilliance.

For the past ten years, Ye Wenhao has tirelessly attended to national affairs day and night, leaving very limited time and energy for cultivation, besides his yearning and guilt for Ye Fan affected his cultivation progress, not improving much.

However, he had nonetheless broken through to the War God Realm, his Divine Sense far surpassing that of ordinary people, quickly detecting the anomaly outside.

"What’s happening?"

Ye Wenhao was unaware of the impending disaster, completely unguarded as he stepped out.

"Hmm?"

Suddenly, his eyes narrowed to needle-like size, shooting out two fierce beams of light.

Not far ahead, Xu Wuji and Xu Changxuan stood shoulder to shoulder, looking at him with a seemingly mocking smile.

"Xu Changxuan, you’ve dared to trespass on such forbidden ground, what are you aiming for?"

Ye Wenhao was initially shocked, then immediately composed himself, his voice thunderous, displaying the dignity of a ruler.

Recently, he had been preoccupied with mundane government affairs and isn’t aware of the incident of supply shipment to Mount Tian being intercepted, let alone that Yan had died at the hands of Xu Wuji.

But there was a vague sense of unease in his heart, with Xu Changxuan’s arrival, and the lack of notification or alert from the guards, it clearly bodes ill.

If they were merely visiting to discuss matters, they could have come openly, there was no need to force their way in.

"Chairman Ye, such authority!"

Xu Wuji sneered, casually striking out, his True Yuan coalesced, transforming into a large hand, slapping towards Ye Wenhao.

Ye Wenhao was shocked, what appeared to be a casual strike, actually imprisoned the space around him, immobilizing him.

"A master!"

Ye Wenhao was horrified, although aware that Xu Changxuan came with ill intentions, he hadn’t expected the young person beside him to be so strong, when did the Xu Family produce such a master?

"Roar!"

Ye Wenhao was not someone who would wait for death. With a tiger-like roar, his aura surged violently, preparing to burn his Gang Qi and fight desperately.

Even if he were to die, he would make them pay a heavy price.

"Hey, save your strength!"

Seeing through Ye Wenhao’s intentions, Xu Wuji snickered arrogantly, "Even Yan was easily killed by me. Why do you still struggle in vain? To me, killing you is as easy as crushing a bug!"

"We Wuji have already stepped into the legendary realm. As the number one martial artist in the world today, killing you is as easy as turning my hand!"

Xu Changxuan said mockingly, "Ye Wenhao, the wise recognize the times. I advise you to give up resisting!"

With that, he laughed wildly at the sky, his chin almost raised to the heavens, displaying a shameless look of a villain getting his way.

"What...what? Master Yan is dead?!"

Ye Wenhao’s face changed dramatically.

"Is this so strange?"

Xu Wuji sneered, retorting.

"Uh..."

Ye Wenhao opened his mouth but ultimately said nothing more. He also abandoned resistance, stopped burning Gang Qi to boost his strength, as it was meaningless—even if he burned all his Gang Qi, he would find it difficult to harm Xu Wuji in any way!

The legendary realm is a watershed. Yan practiced painstakingly for decades and barely set foot into that realm, yet he still met a tragic end, showing just how strong the true legendary realm is.

Rather than dying meaninglessly, it’s better to stay and see what they actually intend to do.

"Ye Wenhao, you’re old. It’s time to hand over power and enjoy your twilight years!" Xu Changxuan cut straight to the point.

"If you want to kill me, just do it. Asking me to cede power? Forget it!"

Hearing this, Ye Wenhao understood their intention and coldly responded.

"You have no choice in the matter!"

Xu Wuji sneered, saying, "If you do not give up, I will slap you to death!"

"Go ahead and try!"

Ye Wenhao sneered, showing an expression of readiness to face death.

"Courting death!"

Xu Wuji was furious, raising his hand for another fierce slap, accompanied by a howling gust of wind.

This slap was landed in anger by Xu Wuji, without considering the consequences and of tremendous power. If Ye Wenhao didn’t operate his skill to resist, he would surely die.

"Bang!"

Just as the slap was about an inch away from Ye Wenhao’s face, Xu Changxuan grabbed the wrist.

Even so, the fierce palm wind made Ye Wenhao’s cheek sting, and faint traces of blood appeared.

"Clan leader, what do you mean by this?"

Xu Wuji’s face turned blue with resentment, and he said spitefully, "That bastard Ye Fan killed the family head back then and nearly caused our Xu Family to fall! Now that I’ve stepped into the legendary realm, fearless of Chu Xuanji, naturally I want revenge! Kill him first, then wipe out the entire Ye Family, find a way to control the situation. With our strength, isn’t it easy? By then, the entire Huaxia Government will fall into our hands."

"It’s not so simple!"

Xu Changxuan shook his head, saying, "Ye Wenhao has great public support. Killing him rashly without explaining to the people will create too many troubles. First temporarily control him, stabilize the situation, then gradually plot a solid strategy."

"Do you have a good plan?"

Repeatedly restrained, Xu Wuji’s face became extremely ugly. He had already stepped into the legendary realm, becoming the strongest currently, yet still couldn’t do as he pleased, which made him extremely displeased.

"Of course!"

Xu Changxuan smiled triumphantly, saying, "I’ve thought it through. First, control him, then select a representative from the several major families currently in control of Huaxia’s power, replace him, and treat him as our puppet while we control things from behind the scenes. Isn’t that wonderful?"

"Ah, I see..."

Xu Wuji was completely convinced now. Xu Changxuan’s cunning and strategy were far beyond what he, a young lad, could compare to. This trick of substituting columns and replacing plum with peach was truly insidious and ruthless.

Soon, they decided. Xu Changxuan would choose the person; Xu Wuji would remain here to continue controlling Ye Wenhao.

Once a suitable candidate was found, they would forcefully control Ye Wenhao to relinquish power and resign. After the smooth transfer of control, they would eliminate the entire Ye Family, erasing them from this world and making them part of history!

This candidate must have identity, status, and considerable prestige.

Looking across Huaxia, there are only a few major families controlling the regime, so it’s not difficult to find one.

Soon, Xu Changxuan set his sights on one person.

This person is Li Haoran, who stands at the top of Huaxia’s power pyramid, the second most prominent figure, only ranking below Ye Wenhao.

Moreover, this person has enough cunning and strategy. With their Xu Family backing him, replacing Ye Wenhao would be no problem.

In the Mortal World, the Li Family used to be Yanjing’s third major family after the Ye Family and Bai Family.

After the Bai Family fell, the Li Family seized the opportunity for rapid advancement, quickly becoming the second major family, only inferior to the Ye Family, and holding prominent power.

After arranging everything properly, Xu Changxuan immediately set off for the Li Family.

He believed that as long as the Li Family isn’t foolish, they would certainly not reject the olive branch he extends.

Among the major families in Yanjing, which family doesn’t have an ancient clan hidden behind supporting them?

The Li Family being able to climb onto the Xu Family tree is fortune accumulated over eight generations!
