Sovereign’s Great Path

Eight soldiers, eight celestial men, and eight 'statues' stood there proudly.    

The atmosphere was extremely quiet.    

"Da Da Da"    

The sound of light footsteps came from afar.    

A young man with unkempt long, unkempt hair hobbled over.    

His body was covered by a tattered set of clothes.    

He looked no more than thirteen or fourteen.    

The facial features of his young and tender face could clearly be seen.    

He was not an ugly person.    

However, he was not a handsome man.    

It was just an ordinary face, however, there was a pair of long and narrow eyes on this face. The pair of pupils were agile like the stars in the sky, as if these eyes contained the vastness of the world.    

There was no way to conceal the sharpness in his eyes.    

The youth staggered over, his eyes looking around.    

One step at a time.    

Be vigilant, alert and cautious.    

Other than the eight soldiers imprisoned by Teng Yan's control, there was no one else in the large Teng Family Manor. It was as if the youth had discovered this after observing for a period of time, and his speed increased sharply. In that instant, the youth was like a sharp sword that had left its bowstring as he closed in on the eight soldiers.    

There was no one around, so the youth waited for an opportunity to make his move.    

'Whoosh! '    

In the blink of an eye, the youth had already arrived in front of the eight soldiers.    

He sized her up.    

The youth immediately locked onto one of them.    

'Whoosh! '    

His young, dirty hands suddenly reached out towards one of the soldiers.    

Searching, searching.    

The youth suddenly stopped.    

"Hehe!"    

The youthful face of the youth revealed a hint of joy, revealing a row of pure-white teeth. After which, he directly withdrew his hand from the body of the soldier. At this moment, a money bag appeared in the youth's hand. Without any hesitation, the youth reached into the money bag and took out ten silver coins in an instant.    

Copper Coins, Silver Coins, Gold Coins, Purple Gold Coins.    

These were the four great currencies of the secular world.    

Of course, for the majority of the people, gold coins were originally a luxury. It was already good enough that they had some silver coins with them, and for many people, even if they only had a few bronze coins, it would only be enough for living.    

At the same time, spatial ring s were not worth a single cent in the Central Region, but they were rare treasures in the mortal world.    

The purse was the thing that held money.    

Looking at the 10 silver coins in his hands, the youth didn't hesitate and directly took out 3 of them and placed them on his body. He then put the rest of the silver coins back into the pouch and returned the pouch to the soldier in front of him.    

After doing all of this, the youth walked towards another person.    

Three gold coins each.    

Not much, not much.    

The youth didn't seem to be greedy at all.    

Second person, third person    

"Bang, bang, bang!"    

Just as the youth's tender hands were about to reach out for the fifth soldier, a muffled and heavy voice suddenly sounded from the distance. It was getting closer and closer, and its speed was reaching its limit. The youth's body could not help but tremble. His young hands stopped outside the soldier's clothes. His movements came to a sudden halt, as if he had been imprisoned.    

His expression changed drastically.    

Everything happened in the blink of an eye.    

"Run!"    

In the next second, a word came out of the youth's mouth.    

Unfortunately, it was too late!    

'Bang! ' Bang! "Bang!"    

Waves of heavy voices instantly appeared in front of him. It was only a split-second, not giving the youth a chance to escape. In an instant, the gigantic Martial Beast s had appeared outside of Teng Family's residence. These Martial Beast s had ferocious expressions. On top of each Martial Beast sat an armored soldier.    

Martial Beast beasts, the soldiers were imposing.    

A vast and mighty aura.    

In that instant, countless Martial Beast surrounded the Teng Family Residence.    

They also surrounded the youth.    

In front of the Martial Beast army, the fiery gaze of a man dressed in a purple dragon robe instantly landed on the Teng Family's manor with a hint of excitement. This person was none other than the emperor of the current Emperor of Zi Yun, the one of the common people in all of history — Xuanyuan Wudi.    

Excited, excited –    

At this moment, Xuanyuan Wudi did not even pay attention to the eight soldiers and the teenager.    

"Da Da Da!"    

Another wave of dense yet orderly footsteps came crashing over.    

Behind the Martial Beast army, the Imperial City Guard Army.    

Their numbers were approaching a hundred thousand.    

"Buzz!"    

When he saw this scene and felt the vast formation before him, the youth's body violently trembled. His sharp eyes were overwhelmed with shock, and he became completely lifeless, at a loss of what to do. With a 'bang', the youth collapsed onto the ground, his body trembling uncontrollably.    

"How dare you!"    

Suddenly, an angry roar could be heard.    

"Why didn't you kneel when His Majesty came in person?"    

Another angry shout rang out.    

"Buzz!"    

The youth's body couldn't help but tremble.    

Your Majesty?    

The Emperor of the Zi Yun Empire?    

In that instant, the youth was stupefied and also dumbstruck. His heart was in a state of disorder and fear.    

He was just a beggar, only a thief. He only saw that the eight soldiers seemed to be immobilized as if they had been restrained by some peerless sacred art. He then came forward to steal the soldiers of the empire, but —    

The youth had never imagined that such a thing would startle His Majesty.    

And, he even sent an army to surround him?    

'Bang! '    

Suddenly, the youth tremblingly stood up and once again kneeled in front of him.    

His pupils trembled and his soul trembled.    

The pinnacle of fear!    

"Hmm?"    

The soldier's angry roar woke Xuanyuan Wudi up.    

His solemn gaze stared straight at the eight people in front of him and the — — kneeling youth.    

"Hmm?"    

Xuanyuan Wudi frowned.    

"What's going on?"    

"This …"    

A soldier beside Xuanyuan Wudi was slightly startled.    

"Your Majesty, there seems to be something wrong with these soldiers." Looking at the eight motionless soldiers in front of him, the leader of the soldiers couldn't help but ask. At the soldier's signal, a few of the soldiers in the group immediately rushed out and arrived in front of the eight soldiers. After sizing them up for a moment, the soldiers were alarmed and ran back.    

"Bang!" Bang! "Bam!"    

A few soldiers instantly knelt in front of Xuanyuan Wudi.    

"Your Majesty, the eight Flame Guards seem to have been manipulated by someone. Right now, they're unable to move."    

"Buzz!"    

This sentence caused everyone's expressions to change.    

Xuanyuan Wudi also frowned.    

"Swish!" Swish! "Swish!"    

Instantly, everyone's gazes descended onto the youth that was kneeling before them.    

At this time, Xuanyuan Wudi also walked down from his Martial Beast's mount. Under everyone's strange gazes, Xuanyuan Wudi directly arrived in front of the youth and said, "Little brother, get up first." A calm voice rang out.    

"Buzz!"    

The youth's body slightly trembled.    

"The emperor … the emperor … I … I …"    

"Get up."    

Seeing the youth, Xuanyuan Wudi immediately helped him up.    

The youth was shocked.    

At this moment, even though he was standing, his body was still trembling uncontrollably. The person in front of him was Her Majesty, the person in charge of the entire Kingdom of Zi Yun. And — He, he actually stole the imperial soldiers right in front of Her Majesty. This was absolutely a capital offense.    

"Don't be afraid little brother, I'm asking you a few questions now, can you answer me?"    

"I … I can."    

A voice rang out with difficulty.    

"Who are you? What are you doing here? "    

Xuanyuan Wudi said indifferently.    

"Buzz!"    

The youth's body trembled violently.    

'Bang! '    

He once again directly knelt in front of Xuanyuan Wudi.    

"Your Majesty, I, I, I am called little thief. Yes, he is a beggar from the imperial city, I am, I am …" The youth's trembling voice sounded. He only spoke of his identity, but he did not dare continue speaking of it, much less tell Xuanyuan Wudi in front of him that he had committed the theft here.    

"Buzz!"    

Hearing this, Xuanyuan Wudi's body couldn't help but tremble.    

His expression changed drastically.    

"Weng!" Weng! * "Buzz!"    

The bodies of everyone present trembled all of a sudden. That strange gaze of his fell upon the young man, and then landed on Xuanyuan Wudi's body.    

A beggar?    

Ever since Xuanyuan Wudi unified the world and established the Zi Yun Empire, he changed the entire world.    

Not to mention other aspects, under Xuanyuan Wudi's various policies, there were no longer any beggars in the world. It was for no other reason but because Xuanyuan Wudi had given out the order that beggars were not allowed in the secular world. Under these conditions, there would be no beggars in the Empire of Zi Yun. After all, if it wasn't out of helplessness, no one would be willing to beg.    

In the secular land, there was no begging.    

However, a beggar appeared in front of them.    

What is this place?    

This was the capital of the Violet Cloud Empire, the core of the empire.    

It was still outside the first general's residence.    

A beggar had appeared here.    

Looking at Xuanyuan Wudi, everyone's hearts couldn't help but tighten.    

Long Yan was furious!    

It was as if everyone had already felt the overflowing rage that was faintly ignited on Xuanyuan Wudi's body.    

The Son of Heaven was furious.    

"Little brother, you're called Little Thief?"    

Suddenly, Xuanyuan Wudi asked again.    

"Yes, yes."    

"A beggar?"    

"Yes, yes."    

"Gulp!"    

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.    

'Shua! '    

A trace of anger flashed through Xuanyuan Wudi's eyes.    

"Little brother, don't you know that a decree has been issued? In the Purple Cloud Empire, anyone who is unable to live is allowed to report this to the officials and receive a monthly allowance to live in?" A calm voice rang out, but everyone could feel the monstrous fury within the calmness.    

The decree of the Son of Heaven was not received from the imperial court.    

Why did beggars appear here again?    

The disaster of corrupt officials!    

"I, I, I know." The youth's voice trembled with fear. "But … but I … I don't need it. I don't need anyone's charity. I, I, I can support myself with my own hands! "
