Such is the True Man of the Age!

And it’s none other than Shi Mingcheng, a True Man of this era.

The strength of the newcomer need not be described further.

Is it the Saint Duke, Shenxia, or King Zhao?

Su Guanying lost her composure, flipped her left palm, and already held the Governor’s seal of South Xia. With this seal, she acted on the orders of the Son of Heaven, mobilizing the power of the state in the South Border! An unending surge of power flooded into her, giving her the confidence to challenge anyone at this moment.

A sea of clouds thousands of miles long churned and rolled.

The gigantic human face that replaced the sky suddenly shrank and contracted into a black dot.

It returned the sky to the present world.

Yet he was far up in the sky, tens of thousands of feet high.

This black dot plummeted rapidly, from far to near in just a matter of moments.

Appearing at the very center of Tiger Platform was a man with a face like light and fire, impossible to look at directly.

He is called a man because his voice was exceedingly resonant.

"Heaven’s laws are clear, how dare you overestimate your strength!"

He is King Zhao!

The three leaders of the Equality Country, although there has never been a clear geographical division. Generally speaking, the leader handling the affairs of the southeastern two regions of the Equality Country is always King Zhao. Those appearing more in the northwest two regions are Shenxia. In the Central Region, organizing the actions of the Equality Country is often the Saint Duke.

With this voice, King Zhao, descending onto Tiger Platform, casually pushed outward with his hand, as naturally as someone pushing open a window to look at the moon.

Yet a fundamental change had already occurred.

Su Guanying burst forth with an unending, terrifying momentum, borrowing the name and authority of the Governor of Nanxia, calling the magnificent national power upon herself, almost possessing infinite might, intending to contend with King Zhao. However, without any reason, she suddenly vanished from her original spot, departing Tiger Platform.

As if squeezed out by this world, she reappeared already in Huaijing!

Spanning the capital and an entire Sang Prefecture.

Utterly powerless to resist!

Even though she was now infinitely close to becoming a True Monarch, she was ultimately not yet a True Monarch; the current South Border was not enough to propel her to the truly beyond the peak heights.

Dongzhen and Yan Dao, their levels of power are fundamentally different.

If King Zhao truly wanted to kill her, it would be easy as a flip of the hand, without much effort.

But at this moment, he had more important things to do.

"Take Chu Xi away. For those who die for ideals, we will remember forever."

He gave this faint order to Zhao Zi and then reached out a clawed hand, directly coming down from Tiger Platform!

Zhao Zi rolled up Chu Xi’s corpse, flickered, and disappeared. Qian Chou and Li Mao wasted no time, vanishing in quick succession.

After all, directly opposing an overlord country like Qi Country, they could only brush past quickly, definitely not linger. Afterward, King Zhao might not be able to look after them.

The Taoist protectors of the Equality Country just left.

This side of the vast Tiger Platform, three thousand steps square, suddenly developed dense, web-like cracks.

The great power that belonged to King Zhao had already extended through this Tiger Platform, infinitely deep below ground!

Indeed. Disrupting the Southern Border official examination, shaking Qi Country’s rule in South Xia, was only a smokescreen.

Solving Su Guanying or Shi Mingcheng was not the true goal of the Equality Country’s grand action this time.

Qi Country’s indisputable great victory won them the power in the Southern Territory, ruling South Border was already a foregone conclusion. They could only shake, never overthrow.

And killing a Su Guanying or Shi Mingcheng could not impact Qi Country’s overall situation.

King Zhao, risking great danger, acted openly before people, how could it merely be to kill one True Man?

They were after the Sī Xuán Underground Palace!

In the first Qi Xia War, it was broken by Emperor Qi, and until the second Qi Xia War it could not be repaired, the Sī Xuán Underground Palace!

Ting ting ting ting ting ting dong.

It seemed as if the sound of zithers echoed between heaven and earth.

But it was not the sound of zithers.

It was the collision of lines of rules, the symphony of the world’s truths.

Truth has its own beauty, the Dao itself becomes music.

The great power of a Yan Dao expert makes heaven and earth naturally harmonize.

The surface of Tiger Platform, with web-like cracks spreading, was quickly filled with endless starlight.

Like lake water, it quickly flowed through all the cracks. It did not heal the cracks, but Tiger Platform effectively became a complete whole once again.

The ugly cracks became beautiful patterns.

Three thousand steps square, such a beautiful star-patterned Tiger Platform.

Not only that.

At this moment, the entire sky was also covered by a splendid and intricate Star Map.

If you observe closely, you will find that this Star Map happens to correspond to the star pattern formed on Tiger Platform at this moment, not an identical copying of lines, but the two designs have a harmonious resonance.

This is an artistic arrangement, anyone could perceive this beauty.

Without a profound understanding of the starry sky, it would be impossible to unfold such an appropriate Star Map.

Now everyone was under the starry sky, all needing to look up to the stars!

In the flowing starlight, a man with an unusually young face, clad in a Star Map Robe emerged.

He stood on the other side of the star-patterned Tiger Platform, with a wave of his wide sleeve, all the Qi Country people on the Tiger Platform disappeared. And he faced King Zhao alone.

"Ruan Qin!" King Zhao’s voice was deep, and akin to a verification of truth: "Do you think you can stop me?"

Such audacity!

Facing Qi Country’s Qintian Monitor Ruan Qin, who had contended head-on with Summer Country’s King Wu Si Jiao without losing ground, King Zhao spoke with disdain, and taking a step forward, already shattered Ruan Qin’s Star Map rules, stepping into his safe distance.

But Ruan Qin just calmly looked at him: "You better act flawlessly, you better not show any flaws, you better not let me deduce who you are."
