The Lord is Empire

Zhao Fu immediately thought about the Ancient Sword Sect; that was the Ancient Stem Domain’s most powerful Sword Sect, and it was the holy land for those who cultivated in the way of the sword. There would naturally be countless sword geniuses there, and the Ancient Sword Sect would all nurture them greatly, so they would all have decent strength.

They were naturally quite suitable for going into Sword Obsession; Zhao Fu would not have to look all over the place and instead could just use them.

Thinking about what had happened before, Zhao Fu felt a wave of anger from within his heart. They were still looking for him with all they could so that they could kill him, and today Zhao Fu was going to take some interest from them.

Zhao Fu made some preparations and headed to the inner regions of the Ancient Stem Domain. At the same time, he had collected information about the Ancient Stem Domain and had made a list of names.

This list of names was filled with the Ancient Sword Sect’s sword geniuses, and all of them had immense talent and powerful strength.

Even though he could not defeat their Sect Master, they were in the open while Zhao Fu was hidden. It would be quite easy to bully the Ancient Sword Sect’s countless disciples.

Of course, he would not be able to capture 900 of them one by one, or people would definitely notice that something was wrong. Before he could capture all 900, he would be discovered, and the situation would become dangerous.

Zhao Fu looked at the information on the list and considered having them gather together and capture them all in one go.

They all had something in common, which was something that all sword geniuses had in common: They were extremely interested in all things to do with the way of the sword. Perhaps Zhao Fu could prepare some things to attract them over.

Ordinary things would not be able to attract these sword geniuses, so Zhao Fu planned to use the Killing Sword Intent.

Of course, Zhao Fu had to make preparations or his identity would be exposed. After all, he had used the Killing Sword Intent at the Ancient Stem Banquet before.

He first had people write 1,500 letters; he would not write all of them himself. After writing them, Zhao Fu sent bits of his Killing Sword Intent into each of the letters.

The contents of the letters only had a single sentence: “If you want to comprehend this peerless way of the sword, come to this place!”

The Killing Sword Intent within the letters would definitely attract countless people. After all, to those who walked the way of the sword, this sword intent was incredibly unfathomable and no one could refuse it; anyone who cultivated in the way of the sword would want to obtain it.

In case not enough people came, Zhao Fu prepared an extra few hundred letters so that at least 900 would come.

These letters were quickly delivered by others into the Ancient Sword Sect disciples’ hands.

A white-clothed young man stood on a mountain peak, sensing the vastness of the power of the heavens and earth, when a servant interrupted him, making him feel quite displeased.

However, after that servant handed him a letter, the young man’s expression became one of shock. In the next second, he turned into a ray of sword light and disappeared over the horizon.

A woman wearing a green dress, giving off a powerful sword qi, held a white silk scarf and lightly wiped a sword. After receiving this letter, her expression became quite serious as she turned into a ray of sword light and disappeared.

A muscular young man was swinging his large sword, sending out ferocious sword wind, and after receiving this letter, he laughed loudly before leaving.

Most people did not pay much mind to these letters, but after opening them, their expressions immediately changed as they felt a sea-like sword intent cover them.

Their bodies froze, and they felt as if they had fallen into icy water. Their bodies continuously trembled; they had never seen such terrifying sword intent before, and even though they were afraid, they could not help but feel excited.

The more powerful the sword intent, the more precious it was to them. This sword intent was from Zhao Fu’s Killing Sword Intent, which was one of the most top-tier sword intents in the world. As such, they all hurried towards the designated place.

Zhao Fu had been waiting at the place from the beginning, and he had hidden himself. Seeing the sword geniuses arrive, he knew that his plan was successful.

Seeing so many other people around, everyone who arrived felt that something as off. However, they wanted to see that sword intent, so they still decided to stay.

More and more people arrived, and soon, there were more than 1,000 of them. Just as Zhao Fu was about to make a move, he suddenly sensed some danger.

This was because some extremely powerful sword experts had stealthily arrived. These people’s power greatly surpassed the Harmony Realm and were most likely Elders of the Ancient Sword Sect.

Zhao Fu’s expression was quite serious and he immediately decided to leave; the plan had failed.

Zhao Fu had expected that something like this might happen because he had sent out so many letters. Some of the disciples would most likely report this matter up; with how terrifying that sword intent was, even the higher-ups of the Ancient Sword Sect would take notice of it.

As such, Zhao Fu could only give up. With his strength, he could not fight against the Ancient Sword Sect.

It was a pity that Zhao Fu’s teleportation spears could only teleport across a few worlds and could not cross over 100 worlds. Otherwise, Zhao Fu could immediately activate them and instantly send them all to Great Qin, completing his goal.

Just as Zhao Fu was about to leave, a cold-looking middle-aged woman arrived. Seeing this cold-looking woman, everyone called out respectfully, “Madam!”

Zhao Fu thought about the Ancient Sword Sect’s information and understood that this was the wife of the Ancient Sword Sect’s Sect Master. He instantly felt a wave of fury as he thought about how the Ancient Sword Sect’s Sect Master had humiliated him.

The cold-looking woman was also a sword expert and gave off powerful sword qi, making others not dare to get close. She was very beautiful and was quite slim and tall, and she had white, tender skin. It was said that back in the day she was the number one beauty in the Ancient Sword Sect.

She was younger than the Ancient Sword Sect’s Sect Master and looked around 30 years old. She was not the same generation as him, being one generation younger.

Back then, the Ancient Sword Sect’s Sect Master had thickened his skin and disregarded the gap in generations to woo the Ancient Sword Sect’s number one beauty.

Since she was one generation younger than the Ancient Sword Sect’s Sect Master, her cultivation was naturally much lower than his, and she was only at the Heaven Realm. However, she was almost at the Harmony Realm.

Zhao Fu had never thought that he would draw her here too. However, in front of such a sovereign sword intent, no person who walked the way of the sword would be able to resist it. As such, it was only natural that she wanted to come and see this sword intent herself.

Seeing her, Zhao Fu had an idea. He took out a few small figures made of mud, which were called Golem Clones.

They could turn into the likeness of the user, and even their aura would be the same. They did not have any power, but they were extremely fast at running away and were adept at running away underground. They were useful for escaping.

Zhao Fu had made many preparations for this operation and had many escape measures. He would not leave himself stranded like at the Ancient Stem Banquet.

Zhao Fu cut a finger and had his blood drip onto the Golem Clones, which gave off light and quickly became bigger. They became the same size as Zhao Fu and also wore black cloaks. In order to increase their aura, Zhao Fu also fused some sword intent into them.
