Chapter 315 Shi Ziling: I'll Be the Martial King? (Seeking monthly votes! Seeking follow-up subscriptions!)

On this day, the capital of the Kingdom of Shi was greatly shaken.

Shi Ziling, who was expelled from the Wu King's Mansion years ago, returned and, with the help of the Demon Child, first suppressed the Wu King's Mansion and then annihilated the entire Yu Clan. The process was swift and decisive, with no sign of reversal, and his ferocity was truly astonishing!

Everyone was in an uproar, and at the same time, they became increasingly curious about the origins of the demon child.

Originally, seeing that he only operated in the cave heavens and secret realms of the Void God Realm, people thought he was just a young genius. Although he had great potential, he could only show his power in the cave heavens and secret realms. Once he left the Void God Realm, many powerful forces could easily control him.

But when reality arrived, his terror far exceeded expectations, and he truly possessed invincible qualities.

Killing kings and nobles is as easy as killing chickens; he can also casually annihilate decrees left by gods, making it hard to imagine his limits.

For a time, various forces were stirring up trouble and began investigating Wu Xian again. But just like in the past year, they still couldn't find any accurate information and could only speculate and guess based on limited intelligence.

Some believe that the Demon Child is likely an ancient monster who has lived from ancient times to the present. Because of a great opportunity, he has been reborn and is now in the form of a child. In reality, he has incredible power that can rival that of gods.

Some believe that the Demon Child actually comes from a mysterious upper realm and is born into a top-tier sect, which is why he possesses such formidable strength at such a young age and has mastered a peerless treasure technique at the level of the Ten Ancient Fiends.

These two explanations are the most plausible among countless conjectures, each with its own logic. However, the demon child involved has never admitted to either, so no one knows the truth, and can only continue to speculate...

Of course, these are all digressions, which we will leave aside for now and discuss later.

In conclusion, with the complete annihilation of the Rain Clan, the chaos that occurred within the capital of the Stone Kingdom has finally come to an end. Many onlookers who had been secretly watching the drama unfold were satisfied and felt that their trip was worthwhile.

But soon, these people became worried again, recalling the fear they had felt when they were dominated by the Demon Child in the Realm of the Void God. They worried that after messing with the Martial King's Mansion and the Rain Clan, the Demon Child would start looting everywhere and taking away all the treasures in their family's coffers.

Because he is a demon child, the possibility is extremely high, and they have no doubt about it.

Most importantly, this is the real world. If they try to stop the other side and get killed, they're really dead, with no chance of being resurrected.

Thinking of this, the leaders and patriarchs of various forces couldn't help but shake their heads and smile bitterly. They could only secretly pray that the Demon Child wouldn't be so greedy and would at least leave them some money so that they wouldn't become penniless overnight.

Perhaps heaven heard their prayers, for the previously silent Emperor of Shi Kingdom finally appeared when Wu Xian was preparing to return to the Wu King's Mansion and personally invited him to the palace as a guest.

Wu Xian did not refuse.

To be fair, his impression of the Stone Emperor was far inferior to that of the Fire Emperor. However, the Stone Emperor was reasonably fair in his treatment of the Twin Stones in the novel. Later, he even passed the throne to Shi Hao for the greater good, instead of choosing his own child. This alone was admirable and made Wu Xian want to befriend him.

Of course, the royal treasury of the Stone Kingdom was also very tempting. He planned to wander around inside a few times to see if he could find anything good. He figured that the Stone Emperor, with his great understanding and righteousness, would not refuse.

Stone Emperor: "..."

Thus, Wu Xian stayed in the Shi Kingdom's palace for three days before being coaxed and persuaded to leave by the Shi Emperor.

Meanwhile, news spread that the Emperor had issued an edict stripping King Wu of his title and passing it on to Shi Ziling, the son of the former Great Demon God, who would then take charge of the King Wu's Palace.

The news caused a stir among the major powers in the Kingdom of Shi, leaving them unable to find peace. Many people found it difficult to sleep, their minds in turmoil.

In the many years since Fifteenth Master and Shi Ziling disappeared, several powerful clans have drastically changed their attitudes toward the Wu King's Mansion and their lineage. That night, they were very restless. Especially when they recalled Wu Xian's methods towards the Wu King's Mansion and the Yu Clan a few days ago, they were even more terrified and decided to visit the new Wu King first thing tomorrow morning to ease relations with their lineage.

……

"What? I'll become King Wu!"

Meanwhile, in the council hall of the Wu King's mansion, Shi Ziling looked at Wu Xian, who was sitting in the main seat, his face full of shock.

"Otherwise, do you expect me to heal King Wu and then let bygones be bygones?"

As Wu Xian spoke, his gaze swept over the several elderly people in the hall. They were all elders of the Martial King's Mansion and were quite close to the former Great Demon God, who was also Shi Hao's grandfather.

As a result, after the incident that year, they were targeted and suppressed by Shi Yi's faction, and even directly suppressed and placed under house arrest, until they were rescued by Shi Ziling a few days ago.

"Yes, Ziling, young friend Dugu is right."

The Fourth Ancestor, who had been imprisoned by Shi Yuan and Shi Li, sighed and said, "To put it bluntly, King Wu has indeed become senile. Back then, he allowed Shi Yuan's lineage to harm the younger generation of his family. I tried my best to resist, but I was suppressed by him..."

Upon hearing this, the other elders also had dimmed eyes. As the heads of a family, they allowed innocent descendants to be persecuted by other relatives, climbing to the top by stepping on the victims, and even calling it for the future of the family. How absurd and tragic this was.

The Prince Wu's residence is seriously ill and needs treatment, but all of this depends on having a qualified leader.

"Ziling, you are the most suitable candidate."

The Fourth Ancestor looked at Shi Ziling, whose expression was complicated, and said, "We are all old, but you are still young, and your cultivation has already reached the Array Formation Realm. You are fully qualified to accept the position of Martial King."

Yes, although Shi Ziling never actually won a fight in the novel, either being ganged up on and driven away by the Martial King's Mansion or imprisoned by the Qin Clan, he is, after all, the father of the Desolate Heavenly Emperor, and his talent is undeniable.

Moreover, he has been cultivating in sacred places like the Immortal Mountain for years, and his cultivation speed is incredibly fast. He has already reached the late stage of the Array Formation Realm.

It's no exaggeration to say that even if Wu Xian hadn't made a move this time, he could probably have taken his revenge on his own... Of course, that's assuming that King Wu and the Rain Clan don't join forces to suppress him.

"I……"

"Enough with the nonsense, it's settled then."

Wu Xian's voice suddenly came, making a direct and domineering decision. He then glared at Shi Ziling and said, "If you keep arguing like this, I'll suppress all these old men and then heal Shi Yuan so he can continue to control the Martial King's Mansion. At worst, we can wait until Brother Hao grows up and comes back here to fight again!"

You can actually play it like this!
Everyone was stunned, thinking to themselves that he really was a demon child, his thought process was just different from normal people.

Shi Ziling smiled bitterly: "Wu Xian, could you... I am, after all, Hao'er's father."

"So what."

Wu Xian snorted and laughed with a hint of sarcasm: "I only acknowledge Brother Hao as my brother, not you as my godfather. Don't try to intimidate me with your seniority. I won't fall for that!"
