In a frigid apocalypse, I went on a shopping spree with the reborn.

While Zhao Mingyue and Long Jiuxing decided to stay, Yu You, one of the eight powerful figures, was living an extremely extravagant life in his territory.

The Imperial Palace of the Great Xin Dynasty.

Yu You was "fighting" with his concubine in his own bedchamber.

Suddenly, a man with a high-pitched voice, pale face, and no beard entered, bowing, and reported: "Your Majesty, we captured several more beauties from foreign tribes today. Would you like to let them in now to liven things up?"

"I'm already done, what's the point of you coming? Go wait in the main hall."

"twitter."

Ten minutes later.

Yu You, dressed in a dragon robe and with long hair, sat majestically on the dragon throne.

The young eunuch dared not look him in the eye, and could only look down at his boots embroidered with gold patterns.

A row of beauties stood below. Yu You scanned their terrified faces one by one, his interest waning: "I'm tired of these weirdos. Are there any beauties from our 8th District?"

The young eunuch broke out in a cold sweat upon hearing this. "Your Majesty," he replied, "the entire 8th district is surrounded; very few have ventured out."

"Even if there were, only top-tier experts would dare to come out at this time. How could a mere servant like me have the ability to capture them?"

"waste!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Yu You kicked the little eunuch away, and he fell to the ground lifeless.

The beauties below were startled.

Those outside were used to it. Guards came in, dragged away the dead eunuch, and disposed of him. A new eunuch took his place and served Yu You.

Yu You gripped the dragon head armrest, tapping his fingers absently.

After a long while, he asked, "I heard that the Blade King has appeared in the Alliance of District 93?"

"Your Majesty, it is said to be so, but it is too far from here. The people we sent to verify have not yet returned, and the news has not come back either."

Yu You: "A man broke into the enemy camp. The Cloud Emperor of District 93 is incredibly powerful, and the Emperor of District 5 is also there."

"Even if Zhang Meng had three heads and six arms, she would definitely be seriously injured, and might be barely clinging to life now."

"Your Majesty is right. No matter how powerful the Sword King is, he is no match for the enemy when he storms into their lair. Even if he escapes, his situation will be extremely dire."

Yu You found the eunuch's compliments quite pleasing and lazily patted the eunuch's face: "Not bad, more sensible than the previous one. You won't die."

The young eunuch knelt down with gratitude: "Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you for your appreciation! This servant will serve Your Majesty well and devote myself to Your Majesty until my dying breath."

Yu You: "Then go and bring back the dying Sword King for me to enjoy."

The little eunuch trembled and closed his eyes in despair.

That's the Sword King, one of the top combatants in the Eighth District. If he really ran into him, he wouldn't even be qualified to wash his feet.

"What? You're not happy about it?"

"Your Majesty, this servant...this servant..."

"You're a piece of trash too." Yu You put his foot on the eunuch's back and with a little force, the eunuch went limp and closed his eyes.

"If none of you dare to go, then I will go myself. I want to see how much fighting power the crippled Sword King still has."

"Guards, prepare! I am about to lead the army in person."

The entire palace was no longer surprised by his habit of claiming he would personally lead an expedition even to steal a fish.

Everyone was prepared according to the standards for an imperial expedition.

The Great Xin Dynasty has developed for decades and has a solid foundation, possessing all the necessary military strength and powerful figures.

Yu You changed into a less cumbersome dragon robe, came to the front of the army, and looked at the neat and orderly army with great satisfaction.

This is the result of his more than 20 years of training.

"I, by the mandate of Heaven and Earth, establish a new dynasty, blah blah blah..."

A group of strangely shaped soldiers from various ethnic groups, dressed in uniform, listened to Yu You's speech for more than half an hour.

They could understand Yu You's speech, but they didn't understand his behavior at all.

I don't understand why they always have to talk for so long before they go out to rob someone.

Yu You, however, felt good about himself and became more and more excited as he spoke, and the more excited he became, the less he could stop.

With increased combat strength and excellent physical condition, he didn't feel thirsty even after speaking for two hours.

Shen Yi, standing outside the palace gates, eventually lost her patience.

"Screw you, that's utter nonsense."

Accompanying Shen Yi's roar was his relentless attack.

"Who?" As Yu Youchao dodged to the side, he grabbed a nearby eunuch and threw him to block the blow.

Upon recognizing the person, Yu You burst into a tirade: "Shen Yi, it's you! What are you doing here? We have no grudge against each other, yet you dare to attempt to assassinate me!"

Shen Yi rolled her eyes: "You're a lunatic. You've been pretending for so long that you really think you're the emperor."

Yu You's face quickly darkened: "Pretending? Who said I was pretending?"

"I personally established this vast dynasty; I am the Son of Heaven! Who dares to say I'm faking it?"

"You're a piece of trash!" Shen Yi cursed. "You only dare to dream of being the emperor. A piece of trash like you will never dare to defy the heavens, let alone trample the heavenly way under your feet."

As they spoke, they exchanged several blows. At first, they were evenly matched, but soon Yu You was on the defensive.

The two were roughly equal in combat strength, but the reason Yu You lost so quickly was because he lacked practical combat experience.

This guy only ever dares to bully those weaker than himself; he's never fought against someone of the same level, let alone fought someone of a higher level.

If they show even the slightest weakness, their mentality collapses faster than their combat strength. If they can't maintain their composure, they will be directly suppressed by Shen Yi.

Yu You shouted frantically, "What are you all standing there for?"

"Quickly, protect me! Protect me!"

His response was met with screams from countless people and the chaotic sounds of people fleeing.

"Come back to me!" Yu You shouted hysterically.

Even if not all of his troops were assembled, his large army could still hold off Shen Yi and buy him time to escape.

But these people ignored him, the emperor, and ran away. How dare they?

puff!

Already no match for Yu You, this distraction quickly led to a severe blow.

Realizing he couldn't win no matter what, he gave up resisting and chose to flee.

Unfortunately, he was no match for the enemy and was seriously injured, so how could he possibly escape?

"Why are you causing me trouble? Why?" Yu You couldn't understand.

Although he established a new dynasty and never helped the 8th District, and even did many things that wronged the 8th District, he had no hatred towards Shen Yi.

Before this, they only knew each other and were not even ordinary friends. Why did Shen Yi suddenly go crazy and run to his palace for no reason?

"A pledge of allegiance," Shen Yi sighed. "The true king has returned. With my awkward status, without a suitable pledge of allegiance, I'm not far from death."

"What real king?" Yu You was increasingly confused. "Where did this king come from?"

After he established the Great Xin Dynasty, he did bestow titles upon many princes.

But what are those princes compared to Shen Yi? Do they need Shen Yi to pledge his loyalty?

"It seems fools are indeed blessed," Shen Yi lamented. "Unfortunately, your good fortune ends here."

"Why should I?" This was what Yu You feared most. "I am one of the eight strongest people in the apocalypse, a top-tier expert who fought his way out of billions of people. I have an unlimited future."

"What makes you think you can stop here? Who do you think you are?"

"I consider him the one who killed you." Shen Yi was completely unconcerned about his anger and resentment.

Yu You had been under his observation all along.

Honestly, he had never seen such a stupid person.

He thought he was very powerful, but that was just his own perception.

The entire Great Xin Dynasty took in all the trash that couldn't get away from other regions. Even their own clansmen wouldn't take them in, or those who had done bad things outside and were too afraid to go back, all came to him.

He also believed that the population of the Great Xin Dynasty was growing rapidly and that the country was thriving.

Thinking he had won over a few people from District 8, he was quite shrewd.

In fact, those within the encirclement were aware of those subtle actions.

Similarly, people in the industry also treat Yu You's place as a dumping ground.

They deliberately turned a blind eye to all those who were disloyal or morally corrupt, allowing Yu You to lure them here.

The goal is to clear away the trash and make the organization more united.

When I'm free to do something someday, I won't need to search the world for traitors; I can just come to Yu You and wipe them all out.

Yu You, however, still believed that his methods were extremely secretive.

Shen Yi originally didn't care. The authorities wanted to treat him like a dumping ground, but he didn't care. Anyway, he was a lone wolf and wouldn't get involved in these things.

But now he needs to prove his loyalty, and there is no one more suitable than Yu You for this.

Yu You, barely clinging to life, lay on the ground, his face filled with terror, utterly devoid of any imperial majesty.

"Shen Yi, spare my life! I'll kowtow to you, okay? I know many people's secrets, I know how to get into the encirclement, I know where the Knife King is now, seriously injured."

"Spare my life, and I'll take you to her. The Sword King must have brought a lot of treasures with him this time. If we find her, we'll be rich."

"Moreover, it's said that the Sword Queen is exceptionally beautiful; once you find her, you'll be given priority..."

"Pfft." Shen Yi stomped on his head and crushed it.

Take his personal computer.

There wasn't much of value in the entire palace; any good items were definitely in Yu You's spatial backpack, so Shen Yi was too lazy to look for them.

Looking at the chaotic palace, he turned and left without a second thought.

As soon as Shen Yi left, countless alien races rushed out from all directions and tore Yu You apart like vicious dogs fighting over food.

That powerful figure didn't care, but they rarely encountered such a good thing.

As for whether it's inappropriate to eat the emperor's food?

who cares?

The living are the emperors, the dead are just food.

As soon as Shen Yi stepped out of the palace gate, she saw Nangong Zhao rushing towards her.

Just as I was about to greet them, several more figures rushed over.

Chen Tangtang, Huang Yali, and Wang Longhua.

"It's so lively." Nangong Zhao casually twirled his hair with one finger.

Chen Tangtang steadied herself and looked at the personal terminal in Shen Yi's hand: "Looks like I'm a step too late."

Wang Longhua remained silent.

Huang Yali asked, "Where are Wang Defa and Long Jiuxing?"

Aside from the deceased Yu You, there are five of the top eight in the apocalypse, only Long Jiuxing and Wang Defa are missing.

"Who knows?" Wang Longhua shrugged. "That bastard Wang Defa might still be hiding in his den."

"As for Long Jiuxing, that murderous bastard, he probably doesn't even look at the quantum computer."

Chen Tangtang also said, "Even if she watched it, she probably wouldn't care about the Sword King."

The group chatted at the palace gate for a while.

Four figures ran out of the palace and stood behind Nangong Zhao, Huang Yali, Chen Tangtang, and Wang Longhua respectively.

Apart from Shen Yi, who is a true lone wolf, everyone else has arranged for someone to be by Yu You's side.

Judging from the bulging bags behind them, they had filled their backpacks to the brim, and carried the rest of the bags on their backs.

Nangong Zhao and the others had larger spatial backpacks, so they took the large bags from their subordinates and stuffed them into their spatial backpacks.

Wang Longhua glanced at the palace with some disdain: "Since Yu You is dead, I'll be leaving now."

Huang Yali also said, "Goodbye."

They are all very busy, especially Huang Yali, who is currently under a kill order and is busy running for her life every day.

If her subordinates hadn't sent her a message saying that Yu You, that idiot, was going to cause trouble while the Sword King was seriously injured, she wouldn't have had time to come over.

Nangong Zhao glanced at Shen Yi: "If I had known you had arranged for people as well, I wouldn't have made this wasted trip."

Chen Tangtang is the same. Although she doesn't have many subordinates, as one of the top combat forces in the Eighth District, if something happens to the Blade King, it would be a huge loss to the human race.

Even if it meant sacrificing herself, she absolutely could not let anything happen to the Sword King.

She just didn't expect that everyone was paying attention to Yu You, making her trip a waste of time.

"Wait a minute." Shen Yi hesitated for a moment, but still tried to persuade him to stay.

Everyone paused and looked at him.

Shen Yi felt immense pressure: "Actually, I didn't come here entirely to stop Yu You from chasing down the Knife King."

Everyone remained silent, so what?

"I have received word that the King of Men is outside."

Everyone's pupils contracted.

"It's true," Shen Yi said.

Huang Yali asked, "How did you know?"

"I have my own way of doing things."

Everyone's expressions were very serious; not everyone was as carefree as Long Jiuxing and Zhao Mingyue.

They knew a little bit about what was happening inside the encirclement.

They didn't know about the Human King, but it was normal for a race to elect a Human King in times of crisis.

To their horror, the King was not inside the encirclement, but outside.

This means that once the Human King dies outside, he will have no chance of being resurrected.

Huang Yali rubbed her forehead; she felt like her head was about to explode.

She's wanted again for the Sword King's affair, and now the Human King is in trouble too.

Nangong Zhao: "This is a huge problem. Something serious must have happened within the encirclement, otherwise the Sword King and the Human King wouldn't have risked their lives to come out."

"That's what I think too," Shen Yi said. "Although I don't know the reason, I trust the official decision."

On this point, no one seems to disagree.

The people inside couldn't possibly be unaware of what the King's emergence meant, yet they still made the decision; there must have been a compelling reason for them to come out.

Huang Yali asked, "Can any of you get in touch with Senior Knife King?"

Everyone remained silent.

They were all lone wolves, and Senior Blade King often fought in encirclements. He had never had any contact with them, nor had he added any friends. How could he possibly keep in touch with them?

"How can we help?" Nangong Zhao asked directly.

Shen Yi shook his head: "I don't know either. I think that now that the Human King has come out, it means we've reached the most critical moment, and he definitely doesn't have time to deal with trash like Yu You."

"To avoid being betrayed by that trash Yu You at the most critical moment, I thought I'd take care of him on my way to find the King of Men."

"I didn't expect you all to come too. In that case, why don't we all go find the King of Men together?"

"If we can't find him, we can find Senior Sword King. He must be seriously injured right now. Let's meet up with Senior Sword King first and try to heal him."

"Okay." Neither Chen Tangtang nor Wang Longhua had any objections.

Nangong Zhao also said, "Then let's go."

Only Huang Yali hesitated for a moment and said, "How about we split into two groups? I'm currently wanted by the authorities. If Senior and the Human King are really in danger, my going will only bring more trouble."

"I know a place where there is a life-saving fruit. You go find the Sword King and the Human King, I'll go and steal this fruit."

"If we manage to snag one, I'll have my AI assistant deliver it to you so that Senior Sword King can use it."

"Don't go," Nangong Zhao said. "We have medicine to treat the injuries. It's just that Senior Dao Wang is too strong, and his injuries are quite serious. It's hard to say how effective it will be."

"However, the medicine I have won't work, and that fruit probably won't either."

"Don't split up our forces now. Our combat strength is already weak. If we disperse our manpower, we will be even more helpless when we encounter those who are chasing after Senior Sword King."

"As for the people who are hunting you down..." Nangong Zhao said something very hurtful, "They're not that many."

Huang Yali remained silent, which seemed to confirm her statement.

Compared to those who were chasing the King of Killers and the King of Blades, those who were chasing her were all called Little Karami.

"Then let's do it together."

"Walk."

"Walk."

"Walk."
