What the Yin-Yang Demon Sect Wants

Within the capital of the Heavenly Flame Dynasty, chaos and death spread like wildfire. Screams for mercy filled the air as people ran in terror, while the Dark Shadow Secret Unit carried out Li Huang's merciless orders without hesitation.

One man knelt and begged before a shadowy figure, "Please! Spare my family!" But before he could finish, his head was severed in an instant, and blood sprayed everywhere.

Another man shouted in madness, "Don't you know? My son is a disciple of the Supreme Elder of the Flame Sword Sect, the number one sect in the Heavenly Flame Dynasty! Does Li Huang want to die?"

The Dark Shadow gave no response. A silent slash of the sword followed, and the man's body collapsed, his head rolling far away as blood flooded the ground.

A third man, drenched in sweat, cried out in desperation, "I've already donated all my wealth to the Heavenly Flame Dynasty! What more do you want?"

A nobleman pleaded, "Please, let me meet with His Majesty!"

Another arrogant voice rose, "I am the tenth prince, you can't—"

Before his words could finish, a Dark Shadow leaped forward, and the prince's head was swiftly removed from his body. Blood splattered across the scene, leaving the remaining onlookers paralyzed in shock. They quickly fled in terror.

Not far from this chaos, a carriage raced out of the capital at full speed, but no matter how fast it moved, it could not escape the shadows. The Dark Shadows appeared like the night itself. Inside the carriage, the twelfth princess thought to herself, "Why is he still alive? I sent assassins to kill him!" But in the blink of an eye, the twelfth princess inside the carriage was slain, her blood staining the cushions as her body lay motionless.

The chaos in the capital continued unabated. No place was safe. The Dark Shadow Secret Unit, acting under Li Huang's orders, spread throughout the city, killing anyone who resisted or betrayed the dynasty without mercy. Everyone understood—this was not just a purge of traitors and dissenters but a complete eradication of the old power.

In the eerily quiet palace hall, Li Huang sat regally on his throne, his gaze fixed on Jing Yi and the Grandmaster, both in a pitiful state. Their screams of agony filled the hall as the Dark Shadows diligently searched their memories. It didn't take long for the information to be extracted.

One of the Dark Shadows stepped out from the darkness, reporting to Li Huang in a cold voice, "Your Majesty, we have obtained critical information."

Li Huang raised an eyebrow slightly. "Speak."

"The Yin-Yang Demon Sect seeks the Fourteenth Princess. Her body possesses unique qualities, and by using her, they believe they can help their ancestor break through to the Nirvana level."

The Dark Shadow's report did not seem to elicit any reaction from Li Huang.

The shadow continued, "Additionally, the Heavenly Flame Dynasty has been infiltrated by them. They plan to use the majority of the royal family as blood sacrifices to refine blood jade, which they will use to enhance their cultivation."

Upon hearing this, Li Huang's expression remained unchanged.

The Dark Shadow pressed on, "Jing Yi was the one who orchestrated Your Majesty's rise to the throne. She intended for your siblings to fight over the throne, and once they weakened each other, she planned to kill them all to control everything from the shadows. She also had her eyes on the body of the First Prince."

Li Huang listened calmly to the entire story. His eyes narrowed as he glanced at the two bleeding figures lying before him. He spoke in a chilling tone, "Is that all?"

The Dark Shadow nodded firmly. "Yes, Your Majesty."

Li Huang nodded slightly before giving his final order. "What nonsense. Kill them."

At his command, the Dark Shadows wasted no time. Jing Yi and the Grandmaster were executed immediately, their heads falling to the ground with a loud thud! that echoed through the palace hall. Blood pooled across the floor, and there was no opportunity for them to plead for their lives. The system's voice echoed in Li Huang's mind.

Li Huang didn't even glance at their lifeless bodies. His red eyes gleamed with cold indifference and merciless resolve as he looked ahead. One of his enemies was gone, but he knew there were many more to deal with.

Li Huang smiled coldly. "Upgrade the system to level 2."

[ Understood, Host. ]
