Water Ink Panel: Starting with Bow Technique to Hunt the Sun and Patrol the Skies

""",

As both were martial masters in the Spirit Void Realm, the Li family's servant was no match.

Shen Qing steadied the dagger by his waist and took one step after another, his thumb pressed against the hilt, revealing the silver blade.

The dagger at his waist trembled slightly, seeming very spiritual.

From the blade, Shen Qing felt a surge of excitement and exhilaration.

Shen Qing stood before the old servant of the Li family, looking down at him just as before, his eyes as calm as water, showing no sign of joy or sorrow.

The old servant of the Li family struggled to open his eyes caked with blood, breathing heavily.

Shen Qing slowly drew the treasure blade from his waist, pointing at the Li family's servant.

"Hold on!"

At that moment, a room on the second floor opened, letting out a dim yellow glow that silhouetted a tall and straight young man.

He wore a cyan robe embroidered with intricate cloud patterns, stepping out of the room with an undeniable air of nobility in his stride.

"Young master Nine..." the old servant struggled to rise.

His face was full of grooves, kneeling trembling on the ground, his voice filled with strong self-reproach: "It was my incompetence that offended the esteemed guest. I am... truly undeserving..."

The young man continued to step forward, locking eyes with Shen Qing who stood not far away.

"Chief Officer Shen," the young man said in a cold tone, imbued with an inherent command as if viewing all from above: "Do you realize that the person before you is a servant of my Li family? Just now Chief Officer Wei said it well, you need to check with the owner before beating the dog. Did you ask my Li family's opinion before acting?"

"The Capital City is not your little county town, nor is it the obscure Taiping County. It's filled with capable individuals, and not someone a mere Chief Officer can provoke. I advise you to be sensible and stop while you're ahead."

With these words, the young man slightly raised his chin, a touch of arrogance emanating from his very bones.

Shen Qing, from afar, vaguely sensed the sense of authority that came from a top family, exuding from the young man.

"You overestimate yourselves," Shen Qing's eyes flickered, suddenly he laughed: "In my view, you don't have to look at the owner when you beat the dog."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Qing activated his Spiritual Power, and the Spiritual Treasure Blade in his hand shone brightly.

With one swing, the blade light sliced through the air like a dragon, rushing straight toward the old servant's head with a howling wind.

The old servant's eyes filled with terror, he never thought Shen Qing would completely disregard the Li family's power and truly aim to take his life.

Already injured, he could not evade the sudden slash, only watching helplessly as the blade light approached, his heart flooded with unprecedented fear and despair.

"Master, save me!"

"Poof!"

A soft sound, blood blossomed like a red lotus, instantly dyeing a corner of the inn red.

The old servant's head was swiftly and cleanly severed under the brilliant blade light.

From the severed neck, Spiritual Power splattered, attempting to heal the wound, but ultimately could not change the outcome.

The Li family's ninth young master's face turned pale as paper, filled with disbelief and shock.

He never expected there could be someone in the Capital City who completely disregarded the Li family.

Shen Qing sheathed his blade and stood, his expression calm, turning to look at the Li family's ninth young master.

The Li family's ninth young master shivered immediately.

Shen Qing glanced past the Li family's ninth young master, seeing the already decapitated innkeeper inside.

He said lightly: "In my jurisdiction, leaving innocent people in ruins, using private punishments indiscriminately, according to law, requires paying with one's life. Now the murderer is punished, and it's settled."

"You... fine, today I concede." The Li family's ninth young master, after a brief daze, regained his composure and threatened viciously: "I hope you can maintain this arrogance in the future."

After speaking, he strode ahead and left.

Shen Qing, however, stood crosswise with his blade, blocking Li Ninth Young Master.

"What, you want to kill me?" Li Ninth Young Master said coldly.

At this moment, he seemed calm, but inside he was already beating like drums.

This Chief Officer before him really didn't follow the usual way, hard to guarantee he wouldn't act recklessly.

Shen Qing laughed: "Killing you is not my intention, but you know, I don't like being threatened, especially by a brat like you."

"Hmm?"

Shen Qing's left hand formed a seal, connecting with the heavens and earth's aura, condensing an ancient and mysterious rune seal.

This great seal, carrying a thousand tons of force, crashed down, firmly suppressing Li Ninth Young Master in place, unable to move.

Li Ninth Young Master felt the air around him solidify, an indescribable pressure making it hard to breathe.

He found himself unable to break free, panicking and shouted: "What do you intend to do?"

"You're young and learn bad manners, I'll teach you a lesson for your parents."

He grabbed Li Ninth Young Master's fine collar, as if picking up a helpless cat or dog, and without allowing protest, pressed him onto his knee.

At this moment, Li Ninth Young Master's face flushed red, as if realizing something, with fear and disbelief in his eyes.

When had he ever suffered such humiliation?

"You... how dare you?!"

Li Ninth Young Master's voice trembled as he tried to resist, but it was ultimately futile.

Shen Qing's lips curled into a playful smile, raising his broad palm, the center of his palm exuding a light wave of Spiritual Power, the air seemed to tremble slightly under this palm.

"Smack!"

A crisp sound, Shen Qing's palm landed squarely on Li Ninth Young Master's buttocks, that sound echoing in the silent air, exceedingly piercing.

Following that were several "smack" sounds, each landing with a strange rhythm.

"Ah, I'll kill you!"

Wei Chengye, witnessing this scene from the side, his eyes widened in disbelief.

He, indeed, was spanking Li Ninth Young Master?!!!

No one knew how long it lasted, initially, Li Ninth Young Master was still shouting threats, claiming he would kill him.

But for every shout, Shen Qing increased his force.

Until the end, Li Ninth Young Master was completely terrified.

With only Qi endurance realm cultivation, in Shen Qing's hands, he was no different from a lamb.

At this moment, he was truly feared of being beaten to death.

What dignity, what face, he had thrown away everything.

The Li family's ninth young master cried bitterly, shouting: "I dare not, I will never dare again."

Shen Qing slapped down with a palm.

Smack!

"Dare not what?"

"I will never talk nonsense again, will never kill servants recklessly, will never wipe nose snot on father's clothes again..."

Under the threat of death, Li Ninth Young Master blurted out many things, even mixing in many strange ones.

Wei Chengye watched from the side with a racing heart.

He hurriedly stepped forward to persuade: "Chief Officer Shen, enough, going further might cause big trouble."

Shen Qing glanced at the young man in front, for once showing a bit of obsequiousness on his usually fierce face.

He lost interest, lifted the restraint, and casually tossed him out.

Li Ninth Young Master went sprawling, due to Shen Qing's heavy slap, his buttocks were not lightly injured, each movement brought piercing pain, taking a sharp breath.

However, at this moment, he didn't care about the pain and quickly climbed up, inhaling sharply while hobbling away downstairs, desperately distancing himself.

Shen Qing patted the dust off himself, as if doing something insignificant.

"Chief Officer Shen, now, now you've brought trouble for yourself," Wei Chengye said with worry: "Provoking the Li family like this, there's no way you'll have a good ending, might even risk your life."

Shen Qing said flatly: "A remarkable person once said. Being a slave is unfortunate, but not frightening, because knowing to struggle, after all, there's a hope of breaking free; if one finds 'beauty' in slave life, praises and indulges in it, that's the point of no return as a slave!"

"I fought my way through the mountains of corpses and seas of blood to come to this Capital City as an official, not to kneel down and be someone's slave."

Before, I wasn't powerful, if someone wanted to mess with me, I would endure it.

But now my cultivation has reached the Spirit Void, still continue to endure? Read new chapters at My Virtual Library Empire

Endure my ass!

Shen Qing steadied his blade and strode away.

Wei Chengye, dazed by Shen Qing's words, quickly followed and asked: "Chief Officer Shen, where are you going now?"

"To find Lord Lan to save me."
