Wang Lishi

Broken Sky City is a densely populated area with over a hundred thousand citizens. The topography of the city was located in a flat field while a deep mountain range was coiled behind.

One morning, a young man in a white garment was strolling in Broken Light Street. He had sharp eyebrows, skin as white as milk, and hair that reached his back. He was a handsome fellow that can conquer a women's heart.

Beside him followed two arrogant-looking youth.

While they walked on the street, the gaze of the people around was unsightly. Many lowered their head; while store owners urged women to hide.

A thin man carrying a bag watched everything unfold. He cannot help but mutter: "Who is this guy? Why does everyone fear him?"

"Are you a traveler?"

A voice chimed by his side. He turned and the old man with the pipe blew the smoke; the sour fume travels to the air, "If yes, avoid him."

"Why?"

"He's the Young Master of the Wang Clan. Wang Lishi. In this city, he's a tyrant."

"A tyrant I see...But what nasty things had he done?"

"Killing... Raping... Abducting... Many young and innocent girls suffered once they fell in his evil hand. Not only that, but he kills once he's provoked in the slightest disagreement. He's an unreasonable, reckless scum of the society, I must say."

"Such a terrible sin? How's he alive?" The thin man shuddered.

The person breathed out the smoke and shook his head, "Young man, you can't imagine the authority of the Wang Clan. They cover the Broken Sky City with one hand. And Wang Lishi is once a decade martial prodigy. He attained the 7th Qi Refinement at the age of 15. He's the number one prodigy in the Broken Sky City. Alas, Heaven favors horrible people."

"7-7th Qi Refinement?"

The thin man hissed. He was an independent cultivator in his late 20s but was stuck in the 4th Qi Refinement. Compared to this Wang Lishi, his 4th Qi refinement was average.

Wang Lishi boarded the carriage with his lackeys. After the carriage vanished in the street, everyone breathed in relief.

Fortunately, nothing unfortunate happens.

"Where's he?"

Wang Lishi took the cup of tea and took a sip, looking over the street through the windows. The fresh wind caressed his skin. "Good tea."

One of the lackeys spoke: "Reporting to Young Master, that Chen Mo has been caught and confined in the Blood Axe Gang."

"Very good. Torture and don't let him see the light for the rest of his life." Wang Lishi sneered, "daring to compete with this Young Master, he was courting death!"

"Indeed. That punk knows not the immensity of heaven and earth. He's the first bold fella to challenge Young Master's authority. Truly fits the definition of a young calf fearing not the tiger."

Wang Lishi nodded and closed his eyes.

The carriage traveled from Broken Light Street to Broken Star Street.

Broken Star Street was the territory of the Ling Clan, one of the top four cultivation clans in Broken Sky City.

Ten years ago, the foundation establishment cultivator supporting them had fallen. The current Ling clan is nothing but a declining family about to disappear and become history.

The carriage halted at the Broken Star Street.

Wang Lishi and his two lackeys alighted.

"Led the way, I want to look at that brat who ruined my mood yesterday."

Wang Lishi waved his sleeve and the lackeys immediately took lead.

Them passing the street was a spectacle. The surrounding area exploded in commotion. Some hastily hid while others, like in Broken Light Street, had their heads facing the ground.

And yet this was another normal day for Wang Lishi and thought it was only the right thing to do when seeing a prodigy like him. 'Peasants shall respect this young master whenever he goes. This is a universal belief that peasants know. Those that don't show respect ended no good. Like that kid Chen Mo who is a frog in the well. So bold to provoke this young master!'

Wang Lishi's observant eyes caught sight of a young lady gawking and haggling over a stall. He halted and pointed at her.

"Lackey 1, go and tell that lady to come with me."

Wang Lishi was lazy to remember an insignificant ant so he named his lackeys into 1 and 2.

Lackey 1 was a crooked young man brimming with arrogance. When he was commanded, he immediately approached the lady.

He stood over the young lady and cupped his fist, "Miss, Young Master Lishi liked to know you."

The young lady stopped on her track. The name Lishi shrunk her eyes. "No...I'm sorry, but I can't..."

"I'm afraid you can't object."

"I'm Young Master Ling Chen's female servant. Please tell Young Master Lishi that I'm afraid I have to decline his offer."

The young lady was unwilling to know Wang Lishi less see him. He have a bad reputation and had done uncountable wicked deeds. If she ended up on his hand, her future was bleak.

At this moment, Wang Lishi approached them. "What's taking you so long?"

"Young master," Lackey 1's eyes were filled with fear. "I'm incompetent. This young lady is the servant of Young Master Ling Chen."

"Ling Chen? You mean that crippled trash?" Wang Lishi sneered and said in a domineering tone, "This Young Master don't put Ling clan in my eyes, much less that cripple."

Wang Lishi turned his head to the young lady and said coldly, "Are you coming with me or not? Do you care about your family? Your relatives? Think about this carefully, and don't ruin your prospects!"

The young lady gnashed her teeth, her heart filled with injustice. Never did she imagine encountering this infamous scoundrel in Broken Star Street. Broken Light Street, which was the territory of Wang Clan, was a prosperous district. How could a distinguished young master of the Wang clan have time to visit this poor Broken Star District?

"Young Master Lishi, please spare this little one. I really can't go with you. My family can't live without me."

Thinking of her family, the young lady forced herself to beg and kneel on the ground.

The people in the surrounding area sighed seeing this disgusting thing happening in front of their eyes. It was just unbearable to see a weak little girl being forced.

"Hmph, that's none of my business. Whether you're unwilling or not, you're going with me! Knock her."

Wang Lishi commanded his lackeys and the woman was knocked unconscious.

"Hehe, it seems I have a toy that I can use today." Wang Lishi laughed and waved his sleeve, "Let us go to that Chen Mo. I still can't forget this punk."

The abduction that happened in the broad daylight traveled swiftly. The news created chaos in the Broken Star District.

The citizens feared they would be the next victim so there was a protest in front of the Ling Clan, the ruler of the Broken Star District.

Currently, in a room, a young man was sitting cross-legged. His forehead was dripped with sweats.

A moment later, he opened his eyes.

"It's almost time. When the shackles preventing me from absorbing Qi breaks, I, Ling Chen, will trample the heavens!"

This young man was the Young Master of the Ling Clan, Ling Chen. Everyone knew that he was incapable of absorbing Qi and was crippled, but that was actually not true.

Ling Chen knew that he can absorb Qi, but all of those Qi was absorbed by the chain on his dantian. He was constantly trying to break this chain for six years now.

After six years, this chain was finally loosened and almost broke down. Ling Chen only needed a few more days to break it and finally start his journey of cultivation!

Knock...Knock...

There was a knock on his door. Ling Chen stood up and opened the door.

An old man was on the other side of the door. When he saw Ling Chen, he anxiously said, "Young Master, Lu Li...your female servant..."

"Lu Li? What happened to her?"

"...Wang Lishi abducted her!"

"What?!"

Ling Chen's eyes widened and the calm eyes turned cold. He clenched his fist and his anger erupted. Lu Li was someone he considered as his woman, but to think someone dared to take her?

This hatred was inconceivable!
