Chapter 526 Lady Mother of the Chario (1/2)
Wen Zhong nodded his head and smiled. He wielded his sleeves and picked Muzhen up and place him on the back of the Qilin. The Qilin let out a low roar and flew towards Dongcheng.
A man flashed out from the Meridian Gate. It was the executioner. He was extremely dissatisfied and as he witnessed Wen Zhong took off with the Qilin. He pointed at Wen Zhong's figure and said, ”One day, you will die in my hands.”
The executioner made the oath as he watched Wen Zhong leave. But deep down, he was secretly impressed and admired the marvelous means of Qi cultivators. That was his very first time in his entire life that he had ever doubted the power of the Xia Clan. After all, regardless of how strong one was, it would be a joke if one failed to strike your opponent.
”Yun Zhongjun, these are the Emperor's orders. Now that the Dragon Head Guillotine has been damaged, you should no longer serve as the execution officer. Please return home and reflect on yourself.” A eunuch came out from Wangcheng with an iron plate, it was the token of order from Emperor Xia.
The executioner's name was Yun Zhongjun. His original surname was Yun, and it was one of the Eight Great Surnames. His mother was a royalty of Xia. For many years, he was the execution officer at the Meridian Gate and had never failed at his job.
Yun Zhongjun said, ”Emperor, I have been serving you relentlessly for the past few years. But one mistake render me expelled. This is indeed your style. What else is there for me to self-reflect on? From now onwards, I have nothing to do with the Xia Kingdom.”
He removed his robe to reveal a ripped body. Like a leaking balloon, his body deflated rapidly and turned scrawny. The Qi of essence then dispersed to invade the Meridian Gate, causing it to collapse.
Just like that, the most notorious territory of Wangcheng turned into a wasteland.
The eunuch was frightened, ”Are you giving up on the royal blood?”
Yun Zhongjun pulled out a white robe and wrapped it around his body. He said, ”Since I am leaving, I should cut clean from everything.”
Emperor Xia witnessed the scene at the Meridian Gate. He could not help but smiled and uttered under his breath, ”That kid.”
The Meridian Gate executioner officer was a significant position that only important figures could hold. If one failed to deliver, he would bring shame to the prestige of Xia Kingdom.
Yun Zhongjun held on to his position for years and had never once missed. This incident was an accident and there was no need for Emperor Xia to remove him from his position. But Emperor Xia did it anyway.
Bystanders would have thought that Emperor Xia was being temperamental. But in actual fact, it was the affection of Emperor Xia that prompted him to release Yun Zhongjun. After all, Wangcheng was too small to breed a true dragon.
He was not a pure descendant of the Xia and without this burden, he would be able to do greater things out there.
Emperor Xia was capable of handling the sudden turbulence in the Xia Kingdom. He crossed his arms, looked at the sky and thought to himself, ”You have groomed me to what I am today and do not even think about destroying me.”
The black blade flew into the hands of Emperor Xia and he caught it with his backhand. It felt like he was 'dissecting' the laws and heaven and earth and the. A tablet appeared, it wrote, 'The law of man takes from what it lacks in order to supply what was in abundance'.
Each and every character was stained with blood and possessed with demonic characteristics. It was haunting and terrifying.

In Dongcheng, within the Yin Garden, someone had a wooden knife. His knife play was the endless water stream and the constellation that had an eternal movement pattern.
