Started out getting scumbags, but then invested in the invincible Empress.

Chapter 226 Everyone, enter the palace immediately and purge the court of corrupt officials!

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained: Wind Chaser]

【Wind Chaser: A high-grade royal-level flying artifact. When fully activated, it can travel one million miles per day, consuming ten thousand low-grade spirit stones.】

The system's cold notification echoed in his mind, causing Li Wudao to pause slightly.

Immediately, an overwhelming sense of joy welled up inside me.

A top-grade royal-level flying artifact!

Such a treasure is extremely rare in the entire Eastern Wilderness, and it is something that can only be encountered by chance and cannot be sought after. It happens to be exactly what he needs most right now!

With this Wind-Traveling Shuttle, which can travel millions of miles a day, the chances of rescuing my aunt and the others will be much higher!

This system reward came at just the right time!

Although the daily consumption of spirit stones was quite large, it was entirely within his means.

He quickly suppressed his turbulent emotions, glanced at the two people on the bed, and said in a deep voice, "You two should stay here and rest for now. I'll be right back."

Although his tone was calm, it carried an undeniable air of authority.

Having said that, the young man suddenly turned around, his face visibly cold as frost, as if frozen solid for millennia, and strode out of the room.

An invisible, chilling aura filled the air, causing the room temperature to drop several degrees.

Just as the boy's figure disappeared outside the courtyard gate—

"Damn it! I've poured my heart and soul into breaking this damned restriction!"

"I'm exhausted! Hahaha!"

From the corner of the room came the green-haired turtle's howl, a mixture of relief and extreme excitement.

It strutted around with its head held high, carrying the black ring that had lost its protective glow and now appeared ancient and understated, its neck held high, as if it didn't recognize anyone.

Those tiny, beady eyes sparkled with excitement as they looked around: "Hey? Where did that brat go...?"

"He just went out, saying he went to the palace." Li Nanzhi pouted, her tone clearly showing dissatisfaction.

She was clearly upset that her cousin had once again "abandoned" her and acted alone.

"Damn it! How did that kid just slip away without a word?! Even discarding a used tool and then killing it wouldn't be this quick!"

The green-haired turtle muttered a curse under its breath.

In an instant, it transformed into a swift afterimage, rushing out of the room with a "whoosh," its speed so fast that it left only a faint trace in the air.

As soon as it rushed out of the courtyard, it saw Li Wudao already boarding an ordinary carriage that he had found from somewhere.

"drive!"

The coachman cracked his whip, and the carriage rumbled as it sped off toward the palace, leaving only a trail of dust in its wake.

"Hey! You brat! You ungrateful wretch! Wait a minute!"

The green-haired turtle panicked and chased after it desperately, yelling furiously at the top of its lungs:

"Wait for me! You don't want the ring anymore? You're not sharing the treasure?......."

"I haven't even gotten on the bus yet! I haven't gotten on the bus yet!!"

And you know what? When it ran on its four short legs, its speed was no less than that of a galloping horse, and gradually it closed the distance considerably.

.........

Inside the mansion, bloodstains were everywhere, and a faint smell of blood still lingered in the air.

Inside the room, both Li Nanzhi and Shen Ming had unsettled thoughts on their faces, making them appear somewhat restless.

A struggle flashed in the girl's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by determination. She took a deep breath, as if she had made up her mind:

"No, I can't just wait here! I have to go to the palace too!"

Whether for her imprisoned parents or to witness her wicked cousin's astonishing actions, she could not stay here in peace.

"Young Master Shen, are you really content to just be a spectator and miss this moment that will surely be recorded in the history of the Great Yu?"

She looked at Shen Ming, her beautiful eyes sparkling with a strange light, a strong premonition of the historic moment that was about to begin.

In a daze, she seemed to see her cousin stepping alone into the dragon's den and tiger's lair, facing the entire court of civil and military officials alone, changing the world and reshaping the universe with a few words!

If she misses the chance to witness it with her own eyes, she will regret it for the rest of her life!

Shen Ming's eyes flickered uncertainly, and his chest was also surging with hot blood.

He naturally understood what Li Nanzhi meant. To not feel involved in such an important occasion would be a great regret in one's cultivation career!

After a moment of silence, he said in a deep voice, "Of course I'm not willing to accept this!"

"Then it's settled!"

Li Nanzhi clenched her little fist excitedly.

However, when she saw Shen Ming's pale face and the bandage on his abdomen, she immediately realized that his injuries had not healed.

"Young Master Shen, please wait a moment. You are injured and should not travel. I will go and call a car!"

After saying that, she hurriedly lifted her skirt and ran out of the mansion.

After the girl left, only Shen Ming remained in the room.

The excitement on his face gradually subsided, and his eyes became sharp and serious.

With great difficulty, he straightened up, sat cross-legged, and carefully took out the identity token that represented the true successor of the Xuantian Sect.

The token felt warm and smooth to the touch, exuding an invisible sense of authority.

Shen Ming took a deep breath, immersed his divine sense into it, and communicated with the communication array imprinted deep within the token.

"Disciples, heed my command! The demonic threat has been vanquished; mission complete!"

His voice was deep and solemn, carrying an unquestionable determination.

Through an invisible network, the message instantly traversed mountains and rivers, reaching the ears of every true disciple of the Xuantian Sect scattered around the Dayu Dynasty, who was on a mission to search for traces of the demon race:

"However, the court of the Great Yu Dynasty is filled with treacherous officials and a foolish and immoral ruler who frame loyal and virtuous people and colludes with foreign enemies to try to break the backbone of our human race!"

"Now, in the name of the true successor of the lineage, I command all disciples of the Xuantian Sect to immediately set aside all matters at hand and rush to the Imperial City of the Great Yu Dynasty..."

"Enter the palace, eliminate the wicked, cleanse the court of the emperor's inner circle, and restore order to the world!"

"All disciples of Xuantian shall regard this order as if it were their own person, and shall not make any mistakes!"

At this moment, whether tracking down the remnants of the demon race in the deep mountains and forests, searching for clues among the ruins of towns, or resting and recuperating among the core disciples...

Within a radius of tens of thousands of miles of the Great Yu Dynasty, all the Xuan Tian Sect disciples who received the message stopped what they were doing, their expressions instantly becoming extremely solemn and serious!

next moment.

Streaks of light, each different in color yet equally powerful, suddenly lit up from every corner of the major dynasties, like summoned stars, piercing the sky.

At top speed and with unwavering determination, they converged towards the Great Yu Dynasty with lightning speed!

Hundreds of streams of light converged into a torrent, like a drawn sword, pointing straight at the Great Yu Imperial Palace!

No one hesitated, no one questioned.

This is the power of the lineage – it is not just a symbol of status, but also a responsibility and a legacy of beliefs!

.........

Meanwhile, the ordinary carriage carrying Li Wudao was speeding along the wide official road leading to the palace.

Hearing the shouts and curses coming from behind, the white-haired old man driving the carriage couldn't help but turn around curiously.

Upon seeing this, their expressions instantly became incredibly interesting.

The old man blinked, making sure he wasn't mistaken, before respectfully addressing the boy inside the carriage:

"Young master, behind us...it looks like there's a tortoise chasing us desperately..."

"I must say, those four short legs run incredibly fast. Is that your pet? It's so...so energetic."
