Too many people are dying in this chaotic world? Then I'll activate the control panel!

After leaving his secluded cultivation room, Wang Sheng planned to give instructions to Wang Qinshi and the others before going to meet those Grandmasters of the Harmony Realm.

But Wang Sheng didn't expect that...

His mother, Han, and his father, Wang Shanling, sat anxiously in the hall, as if they were waiting for him.

Wang Sheng lived next door to them, and Han would occasionally send over some sewn clothes and cooked meals.

Because Wang Sheng often went into seclusion, Han was worried that disturbing him would cause him to suffer from internal injuries during his training. So she would talk privately with Wang Qinshi and ask her to take good care of Wang Sheng.

Wang Shanling, knowing there were women inside, wisely avoided entering. Instead, he would often stroll around Mudfish Street with his hands behind his back, wearing a long gown, all smiles, showing off to the neighbors that he was living the life of a master.

They knew Wang Sheng was focused on his training, so they generally wouldn't disturb him. If it was anything minor, they would usually have Wang Qinshi relay the message.

The reason your parents are so anxious and coming to us now is probably because they think there's something serious they can't handle.

"Mother, is something the matter?"

Inside the hall, Wang Sheng looked at the panicked Han Shi, asked gently, and took his mother's hand, using gentle force to soothe her anxious mind.

"Sheng'er, Sheng'er. A lot of important people have come to the street. They've blocked off Mudfish Street and aren't letting anyone in or out. Are they going to kill someone again?"

"So many people have died in the city these past few days, so many! Only Mudfish Street is relatively safe. Now, will it be our turn to die?"

"The shouts of killing last night were so loud, they really scared me."

"Sheng'er, where is your master?"

Before Han could finish speaking, her voice trembling with emotion, she was interrupted by Wang Shanling.

"Old woman, why are you spouting so much nonsense!"

"Xiao Sheng, we haven't been doing nothing these past few days. We all know this city is dangerous."

"So I discussed it with your mother and asked Meng Lian'er to help us by hiring someone to dig a tunnel. The entrance to the tunnel is in the woodshed of the old house, and the exit is in an abandoned courtyard on another street."

"Now that we're in danger, those big shots might just start killing people randomly. Let's hurry and get out of here through the tunnel."

Wang Shanling said anxiously.

If they weren't worried that disturbing Wang Sheng's cultivation would cause him to suffer a qi deviation, they would have knocked on the door of his secluded cultivation room long ago.

"typical!"

Wang Sheng was somewhat taken aback, looking at them in surprise.

He hadn't expected his parents to have this idea.

With people being cheap and things being expensive, and with Meng Lian'er, a martial arts master of internal strength, backing them up, Wang Shanling and his group actually managed to complete the tunnel.

Just as Wang Sheng was about to explain so they wouldn't be in such a hurry,

At this moment, the many martial arts masters outside the street made their move.

They probably heard what Wang Shanling said and felt that if they didn't take action, their trip would have been in vain.

Therefore, nearly twenty Grandmasters of the He Jin Sect from both the official and imperial armies arrived at the door in the blink of an eye.

The two sides stood on either side of the doorway, their expressions cold and dangerous, in a standoff.

Although the battle last night was fierce, with many martial arts masters below the Grandmaster level dying, Grandmasters were difficult to kill. Furthermore, both sides received reinforcements, making it difficult to gain a decisive advantage. Therefore, last night's great battle ended somewhat anticlimactically.

"I see!"

When Wang Sheng saw that these masters of combined strength didn't even bother to enter, he understood their intentions.

"Brother Wang Sheng, this is Zhang Shaoqiu, accompanied by a friend, who has come to pay a visit!"

Zhang Shaoqiu, an official from the government, stood outside the door, cupped his hands, and spoke loudly.

"Brother Wang Sheng, this is Fang Tao, who has come with a friend to pay a visit. We hope to have a meeting with you!"

Fang Tao of the Emperor's Army also spoke loudly.

Wang family.

Inside the hall.

Upon hearing the noise outside, Wang Shanling and Han Shi immediately panicked. "They're here! They're here!"

"The murderer has really come knocking on our door!"

The two elderly people were only thinking about escaping and killing, and they didn't hear what the person was shouting. They thought their family was being targeted, and they were so anxious that tears streamed down their faces.

Meng Lian'er, Wang Qinshi, and the others were initially flustered, but after hearing the words "visit" and "pay their respects," their thoughts changed and they calmed down.

"Don't worry, they should be my friends!"

Wang Sheng patted his mother's hand and smiled.

Subsequently,

Wang Sheng strode outside.

Wang Shanling, Han Shi, and others quickly followed behind.

at this time,

Everyone on Mudfish Street was on edge, locking their doors but peeking through the cracks.

"Important figures, truly important figures! Look at their clothes and silks, look at the fabric!"

The mother of the boy who lived across the street from the Wang family, looking at the clothes Fang Tao and the others were wearing, said with a shocked expression.

"No, not a big shot!"

Yu Mu was also secretly watching. His voice trembled slightly, his face was flushed with excitement, his eyes were almost bulging out of their sockets, his fists were clenched, and he gritted his teeth and growled.

"They are...they are figures of immense importance!"

Mother Yu was taken aback. What was the difference between a big shot and a huge shot?

Yu Mu did not explain, nor did he know the identities of the important figures standing outside the Wang family's gate.

But Yu Mu only knew one thing: his identity was that of a lowly clerk in the yamen.

Among the important figures in the eyes of Yu Mu and others were county magistrates, constables, commanders of thousands, and so on, while the city garrison commander was the highest-ranking among these important figures.

However, Yu Mu was lucky enough to witness that He Chengshou, such a big shot and the head of the city, treated the man who called himself Zhang Shaoqiu with the same respect as a son meeting his father.

Therefore, Yu Mu believed that Zhang Shaoqiu was an extremely important person.

But now,

Such an important figure as Zhang Shaoqiu actually stood politely outside the Wang family's gate, requesting an audience, instead of the Wang family kneeling to welcome him.

This left Yu Mu utterly shocked, his mind blank for a long while. He couldn't imagine, couldn't believe it—how far had his childhood friend Wang Sheng gone? What had happened to him? Could it be that he'd been chosen as a husband by a princess?!

"They're talking too much!"

Among the masters from the government, an old woman with white eyes spoke indifferently.

She was about to raise her hand when she wiped out the Yu family with a single palm strike.

squeak!

At that moment, the Wang family's door opened.

A calm voice came from within.

"Spare them."

Upon hearing this, the old woman with the disdainful eyes paused, considered for a moment, then lowered her hand and said indifferently, "Since Brother Wang has spoken, then we will forgive this family this time!"

"If there is a next time, I will kill him."

Wang Sheng strode out of the Wang family home, stood outside the door, and without even glancing at Fang Tao and Zhang Shaoqiu, his gaze fell on the old woman with the disdainful eyes. He chuckled.

"You're using other people's lives to test my stance!"

"Who gave you the guts?"

Upon hearing this, the old woman with the white eyes instantly turned cold, her white eyes fixed on Wang Sheng.

However, the old woman with the disdainful eyes didn't dare to utter any harsh words.

The person who could scare away a Grandmaster at the late stage of the Harmony Realm was someone she, at the mid-stage of the Harmony Realm, dared to challenge!
