My strength increases by one percent every day; I can destroy stars with my bare hands.

Five days later, the city gates trembled violently, as if a massive army was charging in.

"Boom, rumble..."

Immediately, dust billowed as five thousand iron cavalry charged in.

As they approached the city gate, they showed no sign of stopping; instead, they sped up and charged recklessly.

"puff!"

"what!"

"Well!"

"..."

The surrounding people had no time to dodge and were thrown into the air, many of them falling to the ground and dying.

"It's the iron cavalry of the Northern Liang Prince's Palace! Everyone, make way!"

"The Crown Prince of Beiliang is here! Everyone, get out of the way!"

"Run!"

"..."

Some people originally wanted to see the Crown Prince of Beiliang, but they didn't expect to suffer because of it.

Five thousand iron cavalrymen rampaged through the city, ignoring the city guards and disregarding the fact that this was under the emperor's nose, and charged into the city.

More and more people are suffering catastrophic losses, with countless deaths and injuries.

"This is outrageous! This is outrageous!"

"This is outrageous! Absolutely outrageous!"

"Lawless and unruly! Do they even respect the imperial court? Do they even respect His Majesty the Emperor?"

"..."

Xu Zinian's arrogance has enraged countless people.

Everyone could only feel anger, and no one dared to lay a hand on Xu Zinian.

His audacity in storming into the Prince's mansion and forcibly taking the Princess is beyond lawless.

Even if Xu Zinian stormed into the palace and forcibly took away the concubines, no one would be shocked.

He has only killed some civilians, which is nothing compared to his previous actions.

"Is this the imperial city? It is indeed magnificent."

On a luxurious carriage pulled by a demonic beast, Xu Zinian, dressed in snow-white robes and exuding an air of wicked arrogance, was surveying his surroundings.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up when he saw a respectable woman.

"Bring her here."

As soon as she finished speaking, a guard rushed out and grabbed the terrified woman, pulling her into the carriage.

"No, no!"

The woman resisted frantically, but to no avail.

"what!"

Immediately afterwards, a woman's screams rang out from inside the car.

"Bang!"

Shortly after, the woman's naked body was thrown out of the carriage and landed on the ground.

The woman was already dead, her expression one of fear and pain.

The vehicle sped away, leaving behind only trembling civilians.

"Just as rumored, he's a lecherous fiend."

"Keep the women in the household at home and don't go out."

"This demon is coming; everyone must be careful."

"..."

Seeing this, all parties were filled with fear and apprehension.

Even powerful figures like Gu Yanqing feared Xu Zinian like the plague.

No one could guarantee that he wouldn't storm into their residence and forcibly seize the women.

News of Xu Zinian's arrival in the capital and his subsequent afflictions against the people spread rapidly throughout the city, instantly creating an atmosphere of fear and unease.

"My lord, the heir of the Northern Liang King has already entered the capital."

Nangong Zhan came to report to Li Xuancang.

"Are they here? Can you escape alive?"

Li Xuancang's eyes turned cold, his killing intent boiling. If Xu Zinian entered the imperial city, he would make sure that Xu Zinian would never return.

Li Xuancang was neither the emperor nor one of those cowardly rats in the court.

Since we have already become enemies with the Northern Liang Royal Palace, it is a fight to the death.

"Let him live for a while longer, and I'll deal with him after my wedding."

With the wedding imminent, Li Xuancang should avoid any unforeseen complications.

Anyway, Xu Zinian will be staying in the capital for a while, so it's not too late to make a move after my wedding.

Inside Wenxin Academy, the gates were tightly closed, and all female disciples were strictly forbidden from leaving the academy.

"Xu Zinian entered the capital and immediately began to harm many respectable women. In order to protect us, the academy asks everyone not to leave the academy recently."

All the students knew the whole story. They considered themselves well-read and were furious, but that was all they felt.

Let alone Wenxin Academy, even the Emperor of Great Yan wouldn't dare to do anything to Xu Zinian.

"This demon wreaks havoc wherever he goes. Everyone be careful, or you'll suffer a fate worse than death if he catches you."

The female disciples were terrified and their faces turned pale with fright.

Xu Zinian disregarded the law, yet no one in the court impeached him; they all pretended to be deaf and dumb, and even the emperor feigned ignorance.

No one wanted to offend the King of Beiliang, who was known for killing people at the slightest provocation.

Someone once fearlessly impeached Xu Zinian, and the Northern Liang Royal Palace dispatched experts to storm the capital and slaughter the entire family of the impeaching official.

They didn't even spare infants; their methods were so cruel it was appalling.

After this incident, court officials kept their distance from the Northern Liang Prince's Palace, and no one dared to mention it.

The capital city also has the residence of the King of Northern Liang, where Xu Zinian temporarily stays.

"Your Highness, we have found out that the wedding of Li Xuancang and the Du family will be on the sixth day of the tenth month."

A servant came to report.

"oh!"

Xu Zinian's lips curled up slightly, exuding a wicked aura.

"With the Marquis of Wu'an getting married, how could I, the heir apparent, not offer my congratulations? I'll reluctantly step in and greet the groom on his behalf!"

Xu Zinian's words were surprising, but those around him were not.

Xu Zinian has done this countless times; they've gotten used to it.

"Come with me to the Du family."

Xu Zinian acted swiftly and decisively, leading several powerful figures as he swaggered toward the Du family.

The Du family is busy preparing for the wedding.

"Master, something terrible has happened! Something terrible has happened..."

A panicked voice came from inside the mansion, and a clansman scrambled into the house.

"What kind of behavior is this, all flustered and disorganized?"

A large number of clansmen were alarmed, and Du Tianhao and Du Tianyuan rushed over quickly.

"Master, something terrible has happened! The Crown Prince of Beiliang has arrived."

boom!

Upon hearing this, the entire Du family's expressions changed drastically, and cold sweat seeped from their foreheads.

"Quickly, have all the women hide in the backyard, and go inform Marquis Wu'an."

Du Tianyuan immediately calmed down and made arrangements.

Although the Du family is a thousand-year-old family, it is not on the same level as the Northern Liang Royal Family.

If Xu Zinian were to become lustful and make advances towards the women in his family, they would find it difficult to stop him.

The Du family didn't even keep a single maid in the front yard.

With Li Xuancang and Du Ruomei's wedding imminent, if Xu Zinian were to do something outrageous in the Du family, it would be a huge problem.

"Quick, everyone hide! Don't make a sound!"

All the women of the Du family hid in the backyard, their faces pale, not daring to breathe, for fear of attracting Xu Zinian's attention.

At the same time, various forces also received the news.

Some people were worried about the Du family, while others gloated.

"What does Xu Zinian want to do by going to the Du family?"

"The Du family has been targeted by Xu Zinian; their chances of survival are slim!"

"The Northern Liang Prince's Mansion and the Du family have no connection whatsoever. Xu Zinian's sudden visit must be because he covets the women of the Du family."

"..."

Many factions were abuzz with speculation, all believing that Xu Zinian had come to forcibly seize the women of the Du family.

"If Xu Zinian causes trouble in the Du family, the Du family will lose face, and Marquis Wu'an will also be affected."

Many people have thought far ahead that if something were to happen to the Du family at this time, it would surely cause a huge upheaval.
