235 Returning to the Capital (1/2)

Having finished his business in Lingyun Town, Xue Wei did not stop to take in the scenery and instead stepped into the air and started flying towards the capital.

A Sky Warrior could fly for a short amount of time and at a slow speed, but the higher your rank, the better you were at flying. Still, even though Xue Wei was an Ordinary Knight and capable of flying through air rather well, the speed with which he flew was far from as fast as when he was transformed.

But Xue Wei did not transform. Lan had given them a full month to sort their issues with the Kingdom of Heping. With that much time, they could afford to take it easy.

Most Primordial Beast Hunters in Heping Kingdom had residence in the capital of the city. They would only leave when it was time for them to go hunting, and most went hunting once a year or once every second year.

A Primordial Beast's corpse was worth a fortune, even in a place like the Heping Kingdom. If they successfully hunted a Primordial Beast, they would earn enough money to live up to five years in the capital if they were just slightly frugal with their money.

Of course many of the Primordial Beast Hunters were bad at saving money and were talented at spending all the money they had when they had it, which was why many had to go every second year to go hunting.

Xue Wei knew this, so he did not expect to encounter a lot of beasts hunters in the wild. Those who were out hunting were perhaps fortunate to be able to survive after Xue Wei is done trouncing the country.

His plans did not stop at just killing Primordial Beast Hunters. Although he aimed to kill all the Primordial Beast Hunters that had a blood feud with him, he also wanted to kill those who were behind the grudge that had been created back then. Anyone who had taken part in the mission ought to die, including those who had a hand in the whole thing escalating like this—the ones who claimed that Xue Wei was a Primordial Beast.

If they had not believed Chu Huiyin back then, they would never have caused things to grow this much and Tie Haolong would still have been alive. In fact, Xue Wei blamed these people just as much as he blamed the Primordial Beast Hunters that served as the weapons that were used to oppress him.

While they were not exactly slow, it still took them quite some time to reach the capital of Heping Kingdom.

On their way, no one caused problems for them. Since they could fly as fast as they could, most thought that they were Primordial Beast Hunters, so no one caused problems for them but withdrew and looked at them with adoration and veneration.

Xue Wei had no intention of taking out his rage on the commoners within the kingdom, but he was aware that his revenge would cause the already troubled Heping Kingdom to be even more troubled in the future.

By getting rid of the majority of their Primordial Beast Hunters, they were bound to have a lot of trouble withstanding the beast hordes in the future, but this was something that the kingdom had brought upon itself in Xue Wei's eyes.

Even if the entire kingdom was left desolate, it was the king's fault when he decided to cause such a scene with him and Tie Haolong.

As they arrived at the capital, Xue Wei did not fly into it. Instead, he hovered right in the air above the city, looking down at it with cold eyes.

This city had both an outer and an inner city; the inner city was where most cultivators and even a few Diviners were present.

”I, Xue Wei, have returned to Heping Kingdom to settle scores!” Xue Wei infused his voice with Qi and yelled out. His voice penetrated through the entire city, including the royal palace housing the king and his family.

Since the prince and everyone in the inner city heard him, obviously the ones in the outer city heard it too, but the ordinary citizens were confused.

Who was Xue Wei? They had all forgotten as time went by since he had left. Although he had made a dramatic exit back then, it had not mattered much to the common folk.

”Xue Wei. Is that not the human name of the Crimson Devil?” A few people in the crowd remembered the name. Some of them looked incredibly fearful, while others were laughing and looking down on Xue Wei appearing in the air like this.

Next to Xue Wei were Bai Tianyi, Hei Gou, and Lin Xiao. All four of them looked imposing as they hovered in the air above the capital, but no one dared move towards them. Even the proudest Primordial Beast Hunters had holed up in their mansions.

These experts were no fools. If Xue Wei had appeared here and declared his arrival like this, it meant that he was confident in his own strength. A glance at their cultivation bases was enough to make them all shrink their necks and want to appear as invisible as possible.

It was simply impossible to determine the cultivation bases of any of these experts that were hovering in the air, meaning that all of them were above the Heavenly Warrior rank.

Fear started creeping into the hearts of every person below. Why had the experts from the palace not come out yet? The commoners started to fear for their lives.

But the only thing that met Xue Wei was silence. No one was willing to step up to attack him. All of them knew that they would be killed right away if they tried.

Xue Wei was here to kill everyone who had participated in the battle against him and Tie Haolong, and he was not going to let any of them go.

Seeing that no one came out to meet him, Xue Wei considered for a moment before he looked at Bai Tianyi. ”All of you stay here,” he said commandingly.

”If someone comes out to meet you, then make them wait till I arrive or kill them if they act uncouthly. If someone tries to flee, kill them right away!”

”Where are you going?” Hei Gou asked curiously. Xue Wei sighed. ”I am going to the Genius Camp,” he said seriously.
