Chapter 292: Breaking into the Mansion
"Do you know whose mansion this is? Do you think anyone can just walk into the Wang Mansion? To be honest, even if the Prime Minister himself came, he would still have to see if my master is willing to meet him. Who do you think you are? My master is not someone you can just meet!"
In front of the Wang Mansion in Xianyang City, several guards stood at the entrance, mocking and scolding the visitor. This Wang Mansion did not refer to the royal family of the Qin State, but rather to the residence of the Divine Martial Marquis Wang Jian. The person standing at the entrance was none other than Sun Zhe, who had just returned from the Qi Kingdom.
After his battle with Thunder Abyss, although Sun Zhe had fought fiercely and killed Thunder Abyss, he had also paid a heavy price. Not only had he exhausted all his spiritual power, but Thunder Abyss's attack had severely injured his lungs. His injuries were so grave that he nearly fell below the Emperor Level. For an ordinary person, even with full recovery efforts, it would take at least several months; however, Sun Zhe did not have that much time.
After parting ways with Tang Yuexi, Sun Zhe found a secluded place to take out the Contract Spirit Origin Fruit bestowed by the Taishan Mountain God. This Contract Spirit Origin Fruit, which had been around for thirty thousand years, could be considered a top-tier spiritual medicine. In just five days, it not only completely healed Sun Zhe's internal injuries but also elevated him to a new level, reaching the Three-Star Thunder Emperor stage, which is mid-level Emperor Level.
After several days of travel, Sun Zhe finally arrived in Xianyang City, the capital of the Qin State. However, he did not expect that the guards at the Wang Mansion would refuse him entry due to his appearance.
Sun Zhe's attire was indeed somewhat shabby; he wore a gray linen robe that he had put on in the War Clan territory. After rushing here, it had collected quite a bit of dust, making him look no different from an ordinary commoner. If it weren't for Sun Zhe's somewhat extraordinary aura, those guards might have treated him like a beggar and beaten him up. Nevertheless, even so, these guards who were used to dealing with nobles did not have a good attitude.
"If you can't see your master, please inform your young master that Sun Zhe has come to visit!"
Sun Zhe's expression darkened slightly. With his current strength, he could be considered a powerful figure even across the Nine Continents; he was someone who could walk freely below the Holy Rank. Yet here he was being blocked by a few guards at the door. However, since he was visiting, Sun Zhe suppressed his anger and mentioned Wang Ben's name because Wang Ben had previously invited him to the Wang Mansion during their time in Wuguan.
"Kid, I see you're deliberately looking for trouble. Do you know that our young master has gone to Baiyue and specifically requested to see him? Damn it! If I don't teach you a lesson today, I bet you won't leave..."
Hearing that Sun Zhe was still lingering there, one of the burly guards immediately showed impatience on his face. He threw his iron rod to another guard and strode toward Sun Zhe with an imposing demeanor, a fierce look flashing across his chubby face.
"Zhang Hu, don't kill this kid! The young master just left not long ago; it's bad luck to spill blood at the mansion gate. Just teach him a lesson."
The other guard caught the iron rod tossed to him and casually replied. At first glance, Sun Zhe did not look like any nobleman; moreover, causing trouble at the mansion gate meant that even if they really killed him, Xianyang's magistrate would not be able to do anything about them.
However, before he could finish speaking, a massive shadow flew past them. In an instant, it darted into the Wang Mansion. Following that was a scream—the voice unmistakably belonged to Zhang Hu, who had just been about to teach Sun Zhe a lesson.
"Hmph! You overestimate yourselves! Go report to your master that Sun Zhe has come to visit!"
Sun Zhe's gaze was calm as he waved his sleeve nonchalantly and brushed off some dust from his clothes while coldly addressing the remaining guard. He didn't even need to use any spiritual power against a guard who hadn't even reached Domain Level.
"You..."
The remaining guard looked at Sun Zhe in disbelief with wide eyes and momentarily failed to react. He never expected that Sun Zhe would dare to strike one of the mansion's guards. Such things hadn't happened in years—perhaps decades—ever since Marquis Wucheng Wang Jian rose to prominence; such incidents seemed to have vanished completely since then.
"Hmph, since you won't report it, I'll just have to go in myself."
Seeing the appearance of the guards, Sun Zhe's expression turned cold, and he walked into the Wangfu without hesitation. These guards were used to being arrogant and overbearing due to the authority of the Wangfu, but today they had clearly picked the wrong target. Sun Zhe was always someone who preferred to use violence to resolve issues.
"You... someone call for help! Someone has intruded into the Wangfu! Someone has intruded into the Wangfu!"
As soon as Sun Zhe stepped into the Wangfu, the guard immediately reacted and shouted without hesitation. Sun Zhe's footsteps paused for a moment.
"Who dares to intrude into the Wangfu!"
Angry shouts echoed instantly, shadows darting within the estate. Soon, several black-clad warriors rushed out from inside the estate. On the rooftops, atop rockeries, and in the corridors, hundreds of warriors wielding Steel Blades appeared before Sun Zhe, all with murderous intent in their eyes. Each of them exuded a powerful aura, and even outside the gates, a squad of black-armored soldiers armed with long spears had appeared.
"I only wish to see your master, but those two guards are abusing their power and making things difficult for me. I ask you all to report this!" Although these black-clad warriors were not weak, Sun Zhe did not regard them highly. He spoke calmly without a hint of surprise on his face.
At that moment, a Captain of the Guard stepped forward. He was also dressed in a tight black robe, his features obscured. However, his aura was like that of deep-sea ice; even from a distance, one could feel his chilling presence. His black eyes fixed intently on Sun Zhe as he spoke in a hoarse voice.
"My master is Marquis Wucheng of this dynasty, a Saint-Level Expert. How could you expect to see him at will? Surrender now and you might still have a chance to live; if you force your way in blindly, it will surely lead to your death!"
This Captain of the Guard was clearly not comparable to those two guards; he recognized Sun Zhe as an Emperor-Level Expert at a glance. However, he did not back down due to Sun Zhe's strength; instead, he spoke aggressively. Regardless of what those guards had done, since Sun Zhe had injured them, it was tantamount to disrespecting the authority of the Wangfu, and he could not let it slide.
Hearing the Captain's words, Sun Zhe instead laughed as if he were completely unfazed.
"It seems that it's not just those guards who are abusing their power; you all have grown arrogant as well. You think yourselves invincible? Very well then; since you are forcing my hand, don't blame me!"
With that said, Sun Zhe directly walked toward the estate without paying any mind to the cold-faced black-clad warriors as if they did not exist at all.
It wasn't that Sun Zhe was reckless; Marquis Wucheng Wang Jian was a well-known war god of the Qin State. Just as that guard had said, even the Prime Minister would need to consider Wang Jian's mood before seeking an audience with him. How could it be easy for Sun Zhe to see him? Moreover, with Wang Ben not present in the estate, Sun Zhe had no choice but to make some noise if he wanted to meet Wang Jian.
"This person has intruded into the Wangfu with ill intentions! By my order, capture him immediately!"
The Captain of the Guard waved his right hand, and four black-clad warriors immediately dashed out from behind him. In an instant, they charged toward Sun Zhe. These warriors were clearly rigorously selected; each one possessed remarkable strength and exuded a thick Killing Intent. The Long Swords in their hands traced dark arcs through the air as they formed a net of blade light aimed at Sun Zhe.
Who was Sun Zhe? An expert with blades; he didn't even draw his Ancient Bell Blade but instead formed a sword technique with his hands. A powerful Sword Qi surged forth as he swung forward, shattering the dazzling net of blade light. The four black-clad warriors were sent flying backward instantly, yet Sun Zhe's footsteps did not falter.
There was no need for the Captain of the Guard to say anything; all around him, black-clad warriors surged toward Sun Zhe one after another. The Steel Blades in their hands unleashed terrifying Sword Auras as they all attacked together. Even if Sun Zhe's strength was formidable, facing so many attacks at once would be overwhelming.
Unexpectedly, Sun Zhe had no intention of resisting at all. He directly summoned the Thunder Domain. The mid-stage Emperor Level Thunder Domain could expand to a range of a thousand feet, but it didn't need to be that large here. With a flash of Purple Radiance, the Thunder Domain, filled with dense Thunder Power, surged outward, knocking not only the brilliant Sword Aura away but also sending the Black-Clad Warriors flying back.
However, Sun Zhe controlled his strength very well; although he knocked hundreds of people away, only a few were truly dead, while most were merely injured and unconscious. After the impact, the Thunder Domain quickly shrank, leaving only a handful of people in front of him.
"You!" The Captain of the Guard's expression changed, and a fierce glint flashed in his eyes. He knew that he was the only one who could take action now. In an instant, he appeared directly in front of Sun Zhe, pouring all his Emperor Level spiritual power into his Long Sword and striking down fiercely at Sun Zhe.
After all, an Emperor Level was still an Emperor Level. The blue light enveloping the Long Sword broke through the Thunder Domain and slashed down towards Sun Zhe. However, before the Long Sword could land, a massive hand grasped it firmly, greatly diminishing its momentum. The Captain of the Guard looked up to see Sun Zhe's expressionless face.
"Go back!" With a swift release of his right hand, Sun Zhe appeared on the Captain's right side and pressed his palm directly against his chest.
"Poof..." A mouthful of bright red blood spurted out as the Captain of the Guard's body flew back like a kite with a broken string.
"What does Your Excellency want with this old man..."
An aged voice sounded, and upon hearing it, a smile flashed across Sun Zhe's face.
(To be continued.)
