Chapter 6

As Zhou Ze walked directly towards Prince Anhe, the other members of the Zhou family tightened their nerves, thinking, "Second Young Master, don't cause more trouble. If you really get beaten up and lie in bed for a few months, it will be a real suffering."

Zhou Ze ignored their thoughts and walked straight to Prince Anhe, saying, "As a prince, you act as Zhou Mie's lackey. Don't you have any feelings about it?"

"Who is Zhou Mie? I don't know him! No matter what you say today, you must give me an explanation. My adopted sons are one dead and one injured. If you don't give me an explanation, your Demon Suppression Mansion people will either hide in the mansion forever or end up missing limbs!" Prince Anhe narrowed his eyes and said indignantly.

"Enough! Whether they are your adopted sons or not, their mother can bear more children than pigs. You even have the nerve to be a cuckold. Don't you feel ashamed? If you can adopt a hundred or eighty daughters, then I'll admire you." Zhou Ze looked at Prince Anhe with disdain, "As a member of the royal family, you are so degraded that you can't even adopt daughters. Living is a disgrace!"

"..."

Prince Anhe couldn't help but twitch at Zhou Ze's words. He was once a famous playboy in the capital, and now he was being despised for not understanding the ways of the world. This was simply a joke.

Prince Anhe didn't want to talk to this self-righteous young man and gave a signal to the martial artist beside him. The martial artist understood and stepped forward, his power surging as he roared, "Return my elder brother and second brother's lives!"

Zhou Ze didn't even look at the martial artist who was glaring at him with bulging veins and continued to look at Prince Anhe, saying, "What does he say?"

Prince Anhe was taken aback but quickly reacted, realizing Zhou Ze was talking about Zhou Mie. After some thought, he said, "No one has ever slapped me. I need him to lie in bed for a year. So, Zhou Ze, accept your fate."

"When did Zhou Mie become so kind, only wanting me to lie in bed for a year!" Zhou Ze shook his head, "The ruthless Champion Hou is just a rumor. He's just a cowardly woman."

Many people didn't want to hear Zhou Ze's words anymore, thinking, "Is Zhou Ze crazy? He's complaining that the person who wants him to lie in bed for a year is too kind? Does he want to be killed to be happy? If it weren't for his good father, he would have been destroyed long ago."

Zhou Ze didn't care what others thought. He turned to look at the martial artist blocked by the family guards and waved his hand to let them step aside: "If they can kill their elder brother and second brother, can't they kill a few more? Why are you so nervous? If they want to come, let them come."

The family guards looked at each other and then at their mistress, Lady Lanyang. Lady Lanyang frowned but didn't speak, just looking at her youngest son.

Seeing the family guards blocking the way, Prince Anhe snorted and said, "Unless your Demon Suppression Mansion people never go out, someone will end up missing limbs! Especially you, Zhou Ze!"

Zhou Ze laughed, "I don't doubt your words. After all, if you weren't shameless enough, Zhou Mie wouldn't have found you. He knows that only by finding someone of equal status to stir up trouble can he make the Demon Suppression Mansion miserable."

Seeing Zhou Ze insult him again, Prince Anhe coldly snorted, "How does this bastard manage to insult me with every word?" He said, "Be sensible, lie in bed for a year, and give the Demon Suppression Mansion peace."

Zhou Ze looked at Prince Anhe as if he were a fool, "Are you brain-damaged? Who would be foolish enough to willingly lie in bed for a year?"

"You..." Prince Anhe was furious. This bastard had insulted him again. He finally couldn't hold back and shouted at the martial artists, "What are you waiting for? Go and avenge your elder brothers!"

Prince Anhe's subordinates rushed forward, their power surging, trying to break through the family guards blocking Zhou Ze.

Zhou Ze didn't even look at them and turned to Prince Anhe, saying, "Are you really going to fight?"

Prince Anhe looked at Zhou Ze coldly, "I said you will lie in bed for a month, and you will lie in bed for a month!"

"What are you? Do you have the right to make such threats in my Demon Suppression Mansion?" Lady Lanyang shouted angrily at Prince Anhe.

"I don't need any reason. Just because I am at the Xiantian realm!" Prince Anhe laughed menacingly, staring at Lady Lanyang with a sinister look. His aura erupted, suppressing everyone. The Zhou family's many family guards felt as if a mountain was pressing down on them, making it hard to breathe.

Prince Anhe's words made the Zhou family fall silent. Yes, the Xiantian realm. This was an existence far beyond their reach, capable of suppressing them all.

"Do you have the right?" Prince Anhe stared at Lady Lanyang coldly, "I am a prince, of the same rank as your husband. Today, you'd better not stop me, or your Demon Suppression Mansion might be torn down."

"You dare!" Lady Lanyang glared, her voice stern.

"You can try if I dare!" Prince Anhe looked at Zhou Ze menacingly, "With the Demon Suppression King not here, who can stop me? Hahaha..."

Prince Anhe laughed arrogantly. He indeed had the right to be arrogant. With the power of the Xiantian realm, dealing with the women and children of the Zhou family was no problem. The Zhou family's servants looked very uneasy. They couldn't let Zhou Ze be crippled, but if they stepped forward, with Prince Anhe's Xiantian realm, they might lose their mansion.

"Zhou Ze, if you don't want your Zhou family to be in turmoil, step forward and let me break your legs!" Prince Anhe coldly snorted, a ruthless look in his eyes.

Zhou Ze looked at Lady Lanyang, seeing her face pale and terrible. Lin Xi, standing beside her, was still beautiful and calm, but her jade hand was tightly gripping her sword, clearly ready for a desperate fight. Zhou Ze sighed, stepped forward, and looked at Prince Anhe, "I am very busy. Fighting your 'adopted sons' one by one is too troublesome."

"Oh? Then what do you want?" Prince Anhe's eyes narrowed.

"For someone who can bear more children than pigs, we must solve the problem at the source." Zhou Ze looked at Prince Anhe seriously. The crowd didn't understand what Zhou Ze meant, but his next words made everyone fall silent, their eyes wide open, staring at Zhou Ze in shock. Some people shook their heads, confirming they had heard correctly.

"Isn't it just about lying in bed for a month? Your 'adopted sons' are fine, but if you want to fight, then you come yourself!"

The quiet voice made everyone lose their composure, unable to believe these were Zhou Ze's words: What does this mean? Zhou Ze is challenging Prince Anhe? What a joke, don't you know Prince Anhe is at the Xiantian realm?

What does the Xiantian realm mean? There's a saying: "Once you enter the Xiantian realm, you can walk like a crab, and slaves can become masters." This means that once you reach the Xiantian realm, you can walk sideways like a crab, and even slaves can become masters of large households.

Out of ten thousand people at the Qi Gathering realm, it's hard to find one at the Xiantian realm. This is a powerful level, even in the imperial city, it's rare.

Now, Zhou Ze was directly challenging Prince Anhe. Wasn't he asking for trouble? Previously, Prince Anhe had just found a bunch of 'adopted sons' to cause trouble, but now Zhou Ze had directly named him, giving him a handle to stir up more trouble.

Lady Lanyang was furious, glaring at Zhou Ze: A troublemaker, how could the Demon Suppression King have such a son?

"Get out of here!" Lady Lanyang shouted at Zhou Ze, finally losing her temper.

Looking at Lady Lanyang's pale face, Zhou Ze winked at Lin Xi, signaling her to comfort Lady Lanyang, while he continued to confront Prince Anhe.

Lin Xi frowned, though she didn't like what Zhou Ze was doing, she instinctively held Lady Lanyang, softly comforting her to calm down.

"Do you want to fight me?" Prince Anhe looked at Zhou Ze in surprise.

"Is there a problem? Or are you afraid of me?" Zhou Ze stood there, the light breeze fluttering his clothes, his posture straight and youthful.

"Afraid of you?" Prince Anhe laughed, "Zhou Ze, you've been away from the imperial city for three years. Don't you know that three years can change many things? For example, do you think the news of me reaching the Xiantian realm is fake?"

"Three years can indeed change many things!" Zhou Ze nodded, "But is it important whether you are at the Xiantian realm or not?"

These words almost choked Prince Anhe: "What do you mean, is the Xiantian realm important? Do you have to be so arrogant? Are young people these days all so full of hot air? The Xiantian realm, an existence that can walk sideways in the world of ordinary people."

"Not important?" Prince Anhe almost gritted his teeth, "You'll soon know how important the Xiantian realm is."

Zhou Ze laughed, "Just the Xiantian realm. Do you think you're so strong? There's no need to boast here! I can cripple those at the Qi Gathering realm, and I can cripple those at the Xiantian realm!"

Many people, including Lin Xi, were speechless. They thought that to someone who doesn't understand cultivation, it might seem like just a difference in levels. But only those who truly cultivate know how vast the gap is.

Lin Xi had reached the peak of the Qi Gathering realm five years ago, but she couldn't break through no matter what, showing how terrifying the Xiantian realm is.

Most importantly, you can use ruthless and experienced methods to deal with those at the Qi Gathering realm, but for those at the Xiantian realm, even if you stab them with a dagger, you might not even pierce their skin. This is the difference.

How many talented young people are there in the imperial city? But how many can reach the Xiantian realm? Almost countable on one hand!

"Come back!" Lady Lanyang felt her face burning. Now she deeply regretted not forcing Zhou Ze to cultivate with a big stick back then. How could he say such embarrassing things? From today on, she would no longer spoil this brat. Even if she beat him to death, she would force him to cultivate.

Prince Anhe also laughed, happily, "The Demon Suppression King having a son like you, his lifelong reputation is ruined, hahaha..."

"Do you really believe I can't fight you and are already mocking me?" Zhou Ze narrowed his eyes at Prince Anhe.

"Zhou Ze, where does your confidence come from? Just because of some experienced hunter's skills you learned somewhere?" Prince Anhe said, "But the Xiantian realm is different. Without the power of heaven and earth, you can't even break my defenses. The question is, have you cultivated? Have you reached the Qi Gathering realm? Do you have the power of heaven and earth?"

Under everyone's gaze, Zhou Ze shook his head as everyone expected, "I haven't!"

"Ha ha ha! You're not even at the Qi Gathering realm, you can't even hurt me, how can you challenge me?" Prince Anhe sneered, "If I were you, I'd spend some time learning some common sense."

"Cultivation? How big a deal is it!" Zhou Ze said in a tone that invited a beating, "Reaching the Qi Gathering realm is no big deal. Even reaching the Xiantian realm is just a thought. It's a shame you still have the nerve to boast here!"

"..."

Many people turned their heads away, not wanting to hear Zhou Ze's boasting. Why don't you say that achieving the Supreme Realm is just a thought?

Prince Anhe couldn't help but spit, "The Demon Suppression King having a son like you, I truly pity him."

"Don't worry about my father!" Zhou Ze said, "If I want to, I can reach the Xiantian realm!"

These words were very domineering, as if the world existed according to his will. But to many people, it was just a joke.

"If you can reach the Xiantian realm with a thought, I'll eat your shit. But unfortunately, you're not at the Xiantian realm, so you'll have to lie in bed for a year first!" Prince Anhe didn't want to listen to Zhou Ze's nonsense and just wanted to complete his task and go home to enjoy his courtesans. He felt insulted.

"If I can reach the Xiantian realm with a thought, will you really eat my shit?" Zhou Ze ignored Prince Anhe's brutality and smiled.

"If you can do it, I'll eat your shit. If you can't, you'll cut off your own legs and lie in bed for a year, how about that?" Prince Anhe sneered. A person without a trace of the power of heaven and earth, yet claiming to reach the Xiantian realm in one step, was just a dream. Only by reaching the peak of the Qi Gathering realm and triggering a qualitative change could one be washed by the power of heaven and earth and step into the Xiantian realm. This step, countless people couldn't take in their entire lives, and he was boasting about reaching it with a thought.

"Fine! Let's make this bet!"

Zhou Ze's words made the Zhou family's faces change drastically. Lady Lanyang's face turned pale. By agreeing to this bet, there was no room for maneuver. If Prince Anhe broke Zhou Ze's legs, even the Demon Suppression King couldn't stand up, as Prince Anhe had the support of the Chu Emperor, who could easily dismiss it as a bet.

With this bet, Prince Anhe had the means to break Zhou Ze's legs. This brat really thought he was invincible, didn't he? Did he think his father could intimidate everyone?

Bai Zhu and others also turned pale. This bet was a sure loss for Zhou Ze.
