Entry fee? Yao Xian and Huo Ru were clearly taken aback. Although they didn’t come to the mortal world often and spent most of their time in Seeping River Academy and the Sword Whisper Tower, they knew that the Yuhua Shen Dynasty never had any entrance fees. They only had travel permits. Even when Emperor Yu took charge of the dynasty, the travel permits were canceled.

The removal of the travel permits promoted the prosperity of the entire Yuhua Shen Dynasty. In the end, they actually had to pay an entrance fee when they arrived at Jiangyang Prefecture! One look at the two women’s expressions and the guard knew that they had not paid. Hence, he said coldly, “The three of you are from unknown backgrounds. You might be bandits. Men, capture them and bring them to the government office!”

“Wait! Isn’t it too arbitrary for you to conclude that we’re bandits without asking anything? According to the laws of the dynasty, any arrest requires a county office document. Do you have it?!” Huo Ru said coldly.

The city guard immediately smiled, “Our Jiangyang Prefecture is under the jurisdiction of the Wang Family. How can the laws of the Yuhua Shen Dynasty interfere with us? Look at the three of you. You must be bandits. Capture them quickly!”

As the guard spoke, he kept sizing up Yao Xian and Huo Ru’s figures. Although the two women were covered by veils, their figures were graceful and their auras were extraordinary.

“There’s no need to talk nonsense with them. Let’s go straight to the Wang family.”

“Yes, husband.”

As the three of them walked extremely far away, a few sword marks appeared between the brows of the city guards who were stunned on the spot. Soon, they fell to the ground.

They arrived at the Wang family mansion in the prefecture. Shen Ping locked onto the head of the Wang family and appeared in front of him with Yao Xian and Huo Ru. The patriarch of the Wang family, who was dealing with matters, was stunned. “Who are you?” He looked very calm.

Huo Ru snorted. “Your Wang family is really inhumane. You wantonly bully the commoners and collect taxes and fees. The entire prefecture has been harmed by your Wang family!”

Her aura erupted. In an instant, she killed more than 10 experts from the Wang Family. Only then did the head of the Wang family reveal a panicked expression. “W-Who are you? Are you going to rebel?!”

“It’s your Wang family that’s rebelling, right? You deserve to die!” Huo Ru could not be bothered to waste her breath on him and killed him with a single strike. After destroying the Wang family, she was still frowning. “The source of this is still Emperor Taikang Yu. Without his incompetence, the aristocratic families would not be so rampant.”

Shen Ping said casually, “Why? Do you still want to calm the chaos and kill Emperor Taikang Yu? The disaster of the aristocratic families is not only Emperor Taikang Yu’s indulgence, but also the backward system of the dynasty. Even if you kill him and destroy the aristocratic families, a new aristocratic family will be born. In the past, it was a local sword artist faction and the four top factions controlling them. It can be considered to be sharing the world with the Yuhua Shen Dynasty, so it stopped the appearance of the aristocratic families.

“Now, the local swordsman faction has long been eliminated by Emperor Yu, so aristocratic families were naturally born. In fact, the fundamental reason has never changed. The so-called aristocratic families are the swordsman faction.”

Yao Xian said in surprise, “In that case, the source is the Yuhua Shen Dynasty?”

Huo Ru also looked at Shen Ping. Shen Ping shook his head. “The Yuhua Shen Dynasty is only a dynasty. If it collapses, there will be a new dynasty.”

Huo Ru was confused. “So, are we going to let this continue?”

“Just let nature take its course. Life always finds hope, a direction suitable for its own survival.” With that, Shen Ping could not help but be stunned. He seemed to have grasped something, but he could not. He could only continue, “We can just deal with what we see. There’s no need to force too much. Let’s go.”

There are many things in the world. Even Emperor Yu could not handle every small matter and needed someone to do things for him. Therefore, during his period of control, there would be injustice and bullying of the common people.

Nowadays, the states in the world were indeed very chaotic, and the people were struggling. However, this phenomenon would not last long because the more ruthless the extortion, the stronger the eruption.

Next, the three of them continued their travels.

From the Jiangyang Prefecture to the Dongyang Prefecture, then to the Qian River, the East Sea, and then along the East Sea to the south. They passed by more than 30 prefectures and carefully looked at the decline and chaos of the Yuhua Shen Dynasty.

Initially, Yao Xian and Huo Ru were indignant and wanted to teach them a lesson. But they fell silent in the end.

Five years later, they returned to the Marquis Mansion. The two women seemed to have made a decision and suggested to Shen Ping that they wanted to enter the mortal world again.

“The two of us discussed that while it was indeed difficult to eradicate the source of the chaos, it might save some people from suffering.”

Seeing the determination in the two women’s eyes, Shen Ping smiled and said, “What do you plan to do?”

“We are prepared to establish an organization to specially eliminate those aristocratic families or forces that cause trouble, as well as those swordsmen who do evil, just like the Demon Hanging Division. However, the Demon Hanging Division eliminates demons, while we eliminate those who do evil.”

He said appreciatively, “Sure. Is there anything I can do for you?”

Yao Xian hesitated for a moment before saying, “Spiritual rice can allow ordinary people to quickly increase their strength. As for the other resources, the two of us can settle them ourselves.”

“Well, sure. If you want spirit rice, you can come and get it at any time.”

“Thank you, husband.”

He watched the two women leave. Shen Ping’s eyes revealed a trace of gratification. Be it the Sword Dao of Emotions or the Sword Dao of Heartless, they both required emotions and a firm goal. Only in this way could they firm their heart’s belief and make their sword intent purer and more condensed.

…

280 years in Taikang.

The rise of a mysterious organization called Peach Blossom made the aristocratic families of the various prefectures tremble in fear. They sent experts to encircle and annihilate them many times, but they returned empty-handed. In the end, the Immortals took action. It was not until four to five Immortals died in a row that they completely intimidated the aristocratic families in the capital.
