People in the Imperial Music Bureau: The Storytelling Demon Child Nezha

His movements appeared casual, yet they contained immense power that the assassins were utterly unable to withstand.

"How dare you, a mere ant, be so insolent before me?" Li Qiye's voice was cold and authoritative, as if carrying an endless sense of oppression.

The assassins were clearly unprepared for Li Qiye's terrifying strength and were momentarily thrown into disarray.

However, they did not back down. Instead, they charged at Li Qiye even more frantically, seemingly intending to overwhelm him with their numbers.

Li Qiye snorted coldly, and in a flash, he disappeared from the spot.

The next moment, his figure appeared behind the assassins like a ghost, and with a light pat of his hand, one of the assassins fell to the ground.

His movements were as fast as lightning; the assassins had no time to react and fell one after another.

In just a few breaths, all the assassins were easily dealt with by Li Qiye.

The Jiaofangsi (Imperial Music Bureau) returned to calm, leaving only the assassins' corpses lying scattered on the ground.

Huaiqing and the others stared in disbelief at the scene, deeply shocked.

Although they knew Li Qiye was exceptionally strong, they never imagined he would be this powerful.

"Mr. Qiye is indeed unfathomable." Huaiqing took a deep breath and said slowly.

Li Qiye smiled faintly and said, "They're just minor characters, not worth mentioning."

Just then, a commotion suddenly arose outside the Jiaofangsi (Imperial Music Bureau).

Immediately afterward, a guard rushed in, knelt before Huaiqing, and reported, "Your Highness, something terrible has happened! A large group of men in black have suddenly appeared outside and are besieging the Jiaofangsi!"

Upon hearing this, Huaiqing's expression changed, and he immediately ordered, "Everyone, listen to my command! Assemble immediately and prepare to meet the enemy!"

Li Qiye waved his hand and said, "No need for such trouble, leave it to me."

After saying that, he flashed out of the brothel.

Huaiqing and the others hurriedly followed, only to see that hundreds of men in black had gathered outside the Jiaofangsi and were engaged in fierce combat with the guards.

Li Qiye stood at the entrance of the Jiaofangsi (a government-run entertainment venue), his cold gaze sweeping across the area. Then, he raised his hand and waved it, unleashing a massive wave of energy that instantly knocked dozens of men in black to the ground.

His movements were fluid and uninterrupted; his figure moved like a ghost through the crowd of men in black, and wherever he went, they fell to the ground, utterly powerless to resist.

In a short time, hundreds of men in black were defeated by Li Qiye alone.

The remaining men in black were terrified and scattered in all directions.

Huaiqing and the others stood at the entrance of the Jiaofangsi (Imperial Music Bureau), utterly shocked by the scene before them. Li Qiye's strength had completely exceeded their expectations.

"Mr. Qiye is indeed a celestial being," Huaiqing murmured to himself.

Li Qiye returned to Huaiqing's side, smiled faintly, and said, "The Witch God Sect is nothing special, Princess, you don't need to worry."

Huaiqing nodded, his admiration for Li Qiye growing even stronger.

She took a deep breath and said, "Mr. Qiye, we are so grateful to you today, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable."

Li Qiye waved his hand and said, "It was nothing, not worth mentioning."

Just then, the sound of rapid hoofbeats suddenly came from afar.

Immediately afterwards, a troop of cavalry galloped in, led by a trusted eunuch of Emperor Yuanjing of the Great Feng Dynasty.

The eunuch dismounted and quickly walked to Huaiqing, bowing and saying, "Princess, His Majesty has decreed that you return to the palace immediately, as there are important matters to discuss."

Upon hearing this, Huaiqing frowned slightly, a vague unease creeping into his heart.

She turned to look at Li Qiye and said, "Mr. Qiye, thank you for today. I will visit you again another day to express my gratitude."

0 ······Requesting flowers 0 ····

Li Qiye nodded and said, "Princess, please don't stand on ceremony. If you need anything, just come and find me."

Huaiqing gave Li Qiye a deep look, then turned and followed the eunuch away.

The chaos outside the Jiaofangsi (Imperial Music Bureau) had subsided, and the guards began to clean up the battlefield, dragging away the corpses of the men in black one by one.

Li Qiye turned and returned to the brothel. The audience members were still in shock and surrounded him, asking all sorts of questions about what had just happened.

"Mr. Qiye, who were those assassins just now? How dare they act so recklessly in Kyoto?" a listener asked, still shaken.

Li Qiye smiled faintly and said, "They're just a bunch of clowns, no need to take them to heart."

Another listener couldn't help but exclaim, "Mr. Qiye is indeed incredibly powerful! Those assassins were utterly no match for you!"

.... ... ....

Li Qiye waved his hand and said, "Everyone, there's no need to panic. Today's matter is settled. Just relax and listen to the story."

Upon hearing this, the listeners breathed a sigh of relief and returned to their seats.

Li Qiye walked onto the stage, lightly patted his sleeves, as if the battle just now was nothing more than casually brushing away dust.

He looked around at everyone and smiled, "We were interrupted just now, let's continue the story of Perfect World."

The audience immediately became excited and applauded.

Li Qiye cleared his throat and continued, "Last time we talked about Shi Hao leaving Shi Village, preparing to go to the Martial King's Mansion to seek justice. Today, we'll continue Shi Hao's path of revenge."

Li Qiye's voice slowly rang out, as if carrying a magical power, leading everyone into a magnificent world.

"After leaving Shi Village, Shi Hao traveled through mountains and rivers and finally arrived at the capital of the Shi Kingdom, where the Wu King's Mansion was located."

The capital city was incredibly prosperous, with streets bustling with people and traffic.

Although Shi Hao was young, he was shrewd and knew that his purpose was to seek justice. Therefore, he did not act rashly but first gathered information in the city.

After making some inquiries, Shi Hao learned that Shi Yi was now the young master of the Martial King's Mansion, highly regarded by the elders of the clan, and even hailed as the future hope of the Shi Kingdom.

Shi Hao sneered inwardly, thinking, "Shi Yi, you stole my Supreme Bone, and today I will make you pay the price!"

"However, Shi Hao did not rush into the Martial King's Mansion, but chose to lie in wait in the capital and wait for the right opportunity."

He knew that the Martial King's Mansion was full of experts, and if he acted rashly, he would likely not be able to escape unscathed. (IV.)

Chapter Ninety-Eight: Bird Uncle, Master Jingbi, and Shi Hao cause chaos at the Heaven-Mending Pavilion by selling information and swindling people.

Li Qiye stood on the stage, cleared his throat, glanced at the attentive audience below, and continued to tell his story: "On this day, in the mysterious and unpredictable Void God Realm, there were two guys, one of whom was called Uncle Bird, who had a shifty look on his face and was always thinking about how to make a profit."

The other one, called Uncle Jingbi, had a sparse beard and a shrewd look on his face.

The two men were huddled together, looking rather furtive.

Uncle Bird, fiddling with a broken stone he'd acquired from who-knows-where, said to Grandpa Jingbi with a worried expression, "Grandpa, we've heard that little guy with the Supreme Bone has left Stone Village, but it's been quite a while, and we still haven't heard anything. Where did he go?"

Grandpa Jingbi curled his lip, slapped Uncle Bird on the head, and scolded: "You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask? This little guy seems to have popped out of a rock, his whereabouts are very elusive."

However, we can't let "767" miss this opportunity. If we can find him and sell the information, we'll make a fortune.

Psy's eyes darted around, "Okay, let's split it 30/70."

Grandpa Jingbi snorted, stood up, shook his tattered black robe, and said, "Get lost, I'll give you eight, you give me two." The two argued for a while, then started selling false information, scamming many people.

"These Bird Uncle and Jingbi Grandpa are making a mess of things in the Void God Realm, while our little Shi Hao has been lying low in the capital of the Stone Kingdom for some time and has gotten a general idea of ​​the situation in the Martial King's Mansion."

Just then, he heard of the great name of the Heaven-Mending Pavilion, a sacred place of cultivation where countless young geniuses could undergo transformation.

Thus, Shi Hao, accompanied by Qingfeng, resolutely embarked on the journey to the Heaven-Mending Pavilion.

"Shi Hao and Qingfeng, having endured countless hardships and traveled day and night through wind and rain, finally arrived at the gate of the Butian Pavilion. Before the gate sat an old man radiating a gentle and holy light."

The old man slightly parted his lips, "As long as you are strong enough and your age meets the requirements, you all have the opportunity to enter the Holy Academy."

The moment those words were spoken, the group of energetic young people in the audience instantly became like a powder keg that had been ignited, their blood surging wildly in their veins.

However, the elders standing nearby shook their heads and sighed inwardly. They knew perfectly well that in decades or even centuries, for even one person to successfully enter this realm was already a once-in-a-millennium occurrence.

Below the stage, Li Yuchun and the others couldn't help but mutter under their breath: "The name of the Holy Academy, that kind of extraordinary place, how can it be entered so easily? These young people are still thinking too simply."

"Just then, a flash of light appeared, and a five-colored phoenix streaked across the sky. Atop its back sat a woman clad in golden armor. Her features were exquisitely beautiful, her face radiant and translucent, as if meticulously sculpted from jade—breathtakingly beautiful. Upon seeing her, everyone gasped, unable to help but exclaim: 'The War Goddess of the Deer-Chasing Academy!'"

The old man before the mountain gate spoke up, "Young friend, your actions seem to have crossed the line." The female war goddess remained calm and composed, replying indifferently, "Senior is overthinking it."

Below the stage, Yang Qianhuan was completely captivated, his eyes fixed on the stage. He sighed, "This female war goddess of Zhulu Academy is truly heroic and valiant. Such grace is rare in this world. It's just a pity that she acts so ostentatiously, openly searching for someone in front of Butian Pavilion. She's probably going to offend quite a few people."

Song Tingfeng crossed his arms and looked unconvinced: "Only those with strength have the right to speak. Since she dares to do this, she must have the confidence to do so."

"At this very moment, groups of people also began to move. With the female war goddess taking the lead, other major forces no longer hesitated and quickly began to investigate, searching everywhere for their target, Shi Hao."

The old man in front of the mountain gate made a decisive decision and loudly announced: 'The test begins!'

Instantly, a group of powerful figures appeared. They quickly divided the 80,000 to 90,000 people into eight groups, and then announced in a loud voice: "Let's go, we're heading to the primordial battlefield."

Shi Hao and the others did not enter the mountain gate, but instead followed them westward.

"It turns out that the west side of the Butian Pavilion was once an ancient battlefield, and now it has become a trial ground."

The people from the Heaven-Mending Pavilion began to explain the rules in detail: 'This battlefield is divided into eight areas. We have already laid out runes to prevent the ferocious beasts from entering. You simply need to pass through those rune-covered areas.'

"If anyone possesses exceptional strength and can break through the rune array, they can enter the second layer of the battlefield, where surprises await. However, there are also many ferocious beasts, making it extremely dangerous. Please consider your choices carefully."

Everyone immediately understood that the selection within the rune array domain was for ordinary disciples, while the second-tier battlefield was the true testing ground for geniuses. The eight groups marched off in a grand procession towards their respective areas.

"Our little Shi Hao, with his chubby cheeks, was approached by a girl who grinned and pinched him, saying, 'Hey, you little fatty, what are you looking at!'"

Xiao Shihao was extremely frustrated. He had only glanced at the group of beautiful female disciples of the Butian Pavilion a couple of times and hadn't wasted much time, so why was he pinched?

As they approached the primitive battlefield, just as he was about to enter, another female disciple pinched his apple-shaped cheek, giggling, "Little fatty, you should lose some weight! Looking at you so chubby, it's not good for your cultivation..."

Little Shi Hao muttered under his breath, "I'm not fat!" With that, he stepped through a runic portal and vanished from everyone's sight in an instant.

The audience burst into laughter. Lingzhi Fu Lü Qing laughed until tears almost came out: "This little Shi Hao is too cute. Being mistaken for a little fat boy must make him feel really wronged."

A young man joked, "Maybe this is a lucky face. He's bound to achieve great things in the future. We shouldn't underestimate him."

"At this time, people mentioned Little Dot again, but there has been no trace of him since, and no one has seen him."

Some people wondered: 'Did that mischievous child really go to the Heaven-Mending Pavilion? Why haven't we found him yet?'

Some speculated: 'Something's not right. Given that child's eccentric personality, I think he's probably just fooling us all, deliberately making things difficult for us.'

Everyone chimed in, "Very likely!" After waiting for so long without any news from the brat, everyone's faces darkened, and they felt that they might have been fooled by that troublesome child.

0.4 Neither the Heaven-Mending Pavilion nor the Deer-Chasing Academy had any sign of him. 'Everyone hoped the little guy would appear at the Heaven-Mending Pavilion, after all, he broke one of Shi Yi's records, and if the two could meet in person, it would be even more anticipated.'

"Let's look at the original battlefield of the Patching Heaven Pavilion, in the eighth area. Little Shi Hao stepped into a forest. As soon as he landed, the ground cracked open and the runes collapsed one after another."

He didn't waste time and effort figuring out a way to break the formation; his method was simple and brutal—he charged straight through, forcibly destroying everything in his path, displaying his violent nature.

Li Qiye's voice gradually lowered, as if carrying a hint of emotion: "Everyone, that's all for Shi Hao. To find out what happens next, please stay tuned for the next episode."

A round of applause and cheers erupted from the audience, who were still eager for more and looked forward to the next storytelling session.

Chapter Ninety-Nine: Princess Huaiqing Invites Me to Lunch, Has a Request

Below the stage, a martial artist couldn't help but exclaim in admiration: "This young Shi Hao, at such a young age, has such strength. His method of breaking the formation is truly domineering."

An old man shook his head and said, "Although he is quite strong, his actions will likely cause a lot of trouble. This rune array is a place that tests one's character and wisdom. If he forces his way through the array, he will probably suffer in the future."

"Upon arriving at this place, he discovered that the runes had become more difficult, and some array domains had become increasingly complex and interesting. He began to linger, ponder and study them, and spent more time there."

Xiao Shihao muttered, "Breaking through the array like this is so boring, it's really pointless." Little did he know how hard those people behind him were working.

They ranged in age from seven or eight to their twenties, and were all exhausted, drenched in sweat, and almost collapsed.

Someone sighed and replied, "Alas, it's all the fault of geniuses. First Shi Yi, then the Human Emperor's daughter, and now that oddball child is coming. It's attracted a whole bunch of geniuses who have all rushed here. Naturally, the Heaven-Mending Pavilion has to set high standards."

Deep within the eighth district, Xiao Shi 07 Hao was strolling around, pondering for a moment. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he excitedly clenched his fist, chuckling, "Since there are runes, there must be precious bones buried underground!"

His eyes gleamed with a thieving light, and his body transformed into a shadow as he swiftly traversed the battlefield, searching everywhere, eagerly anticipating obtaining the Primal Treasure Bone.

He quickly stopped, carefully studying a low stone mountain only a few dozen meters high. Then, with a clear whistle, he rushed forward at top speed, using all his strength and the secret power of runes to unleash a powerful attack.

'Boom!' 'Boom!'... In the end, smoke and dust billowed into the sky, and the low stone mountain was shattered by Xiao Shihao, with a crystal-clear precious bone falling from it.

He rushed over, happily picked it up, then glanced around suspiciously like a thief, quickly stuffed it into his pocket, and disappeared in a flash.

A gasp rippled through the crowd below, and a burly man exclaimed, "This little Shi Hao is incredibly lucky! He actually found the treasure bone!"

An old man, however, said with a solemn expression: "This precious bone is not so easy to obtain. If other forces find out about his ostentatious behavior, it may bring disaster upon him."

Xiao Shihao thought to himself, "With such a large primitive battlefield, there must be more than one precious bone." He completely treated this place as his own vegetable garden, ready to "pull out radishes" in a big way.

Sure enough, with a 'boom,' the second target was discovered. This time, he went even further, kicking down an earthen dam, causing the runes there to shine brightly, and a precious bone emerged.

Little Shi Hao grinned, a satisfied smile spreading across his apple-shaped face, revealing a pair of bright little tiger teeth: 'Although they're not the rarest bones, they're not bad either.' And so, he continued on his way, constantly breaking through arrays and digging for precious bones, quickly acquiring over a dozen pieces, which he wrapped in animal hide and carried on his back.
