NOT EDITED

With the passing of the days Sheng Hung and Sheng Shuyi were getting closer, even knowing that he is already the Demon Lord, she found her young brother very cute!
"So if he were the Demon Lord, in front of me he was just my cute and cute little brother!" Thought Sheng Shuyi as she embraced the shamed Sheng Hung.
The embarrassed Sheng Hung felt his heart warm, when his older sister treated him like a small child, from the age of five he suffered from a bitter training that his late grandfather imposed upon him. No one ever treated him with pampering, not even his mother, who was always occupied with the affairs of the mansion, and his father spent more time in the military than at home.
Sheng Shuyi's grandfather died a year ago, apparently of old age, so it was not a shock to the others that he died.
Only Sheng Hung and his grandmother knew that the death of the former patriarch was a cold and premeditated murder, but the ten-year-old boy's hands were bound, he was too weak to deal with it, and his grandmother had to take care of the whole family , if she died the glorious Sheng Family would die too.
So even as he was embarrassed by the actions of his older sister, he secretly was happy, that is, he was a boy of tsundere attitude and with a Yandere personality!
In addition, Sheng Hung is happy that Sheng Shuyi's personality has changed for the better, she was rather easy to manipulate, so she was under constant care of Madam Sheng and his grandmother.
Already Sheng Shuyi was in heaven, in her past life she had a cold and arrogant older brother, now in this life she had a cute and powerful Demon Lord! She was a very lucky big sister!
In the three remaining days of the long week-long journey to the ancestral mansion, Sheng Shuyi taught diligently about basic mathematics and accounting, a little too busyness ability. However, a week was too little to show the wonderful world of modern management!
Those few hours of teaching were kept in secrecy to the guards, it was a secret between sister and brother. To the outsiders, Sheng Shuyi and Sheng Hung were strengthening their fraternal feelings.
On the last day when everyone was asleep, Sheng Hung was in the meditative position, his hands formed a strange symbol and dark blue energy circled him.
"Under the rule of the Celestial Tao the darkness and light are the same and one, the rule of the Heavenly Tao is that it dictates life and death, creation and destruction. Light and Darkness are one and the same. Yin complements Yang, Yang submits to Yin, Yin flourishes under the force of Yang. The Heavenly Tao is the sovereign and to all those under his rule, Yin and Yang flourish under the judgment of the Heavenly Tao! "Sheng Hung's voice was deep, he seemed to be praying a mantra in an unknown tongue. The dark blue energy doubled in size and ran to the small body of the 10-year-old boy.
After a while Sheng Hung opened his eyes, his irises glowing red, giving the boy a bloodthirsty look.
"This Sky Ruler technique is very deep, the more I train the more I see that I know little about this technique. How I wish Grandpa was here to be able to ask more of where this technique comes from, "thought Sheng Hung regretfully, his eyes returning to normal, the brilliant blue crystals.
"Master, Miss Sheng Qian persuaded that man to court Miss Sheng Shuyi, he must make his move soon," a soft voice echoed in the shadows.
"Feng Yiling today is you. Where is Feng Shao? "Said Sheng Hung quietly, he gets up and goes to get a pitcher of water.
"Feng Shao was injured by that Poison Master, now he is receiving treatment," said Feng Yiling's emotionless voice, Sheng Hung only lifted one of his delicate dark black brows.
"Ohh, Feng Shao was careless?" Asked Sheng Hung calmly and drank his glass with water.
"Yes, he went. Feng Shao followed the Poison Master to a city outside the capital and there was ambushed by another hidden force, after the fight he was discovered by the Poison Master. I have already confirmed that this occult force has no relation to the Poison Master, but they are a kind of demonic cultivators of a small sect, "said the shadow in a flat tone.
"Ohhh, was it all a coincidence?" Sheng Hung said with a cold smile, he lifted the empty glass and threw it against the shadow, he had placed a spell.
"Shijiaan," said Sheng Hung and the glass at the shade, which was surprised, she froze.
Shijaan was one of the secret words learned from the Ruler of Heaven technique, it can be used in two ways: 1. using an object to accumulate power and then throwing it at the enemy; 2. When the grower has enough mana, by saying the word the grower can paralyze the victim.
Shijaan literally means "Stop Time"!
"Did you really think I would not realize you're not Feng Yiling?" Sheng Hung asked in his icy voice, a mocking smile on his delicate pink lips.
"Linghun soousuou!" Sheng Hung said coldly as he extended his little hand to the body of the shadow.
The shadow shook and squirmed in a supernatural way, the mask that covered his face fell and a masculine face was revealed. The man's face was all contorted by the pain and his eyes were jumping out.
After another minute of agony, a white flame left the body and the man became unconscious.
Sheng Hung looked coldly at the flame and reached out and with one finger touched the flame, which emitted a cry as a small animal. The 10-year-old boy stayed only two minutes touching the flame, then he withdrew his hand and the flame was returned to the man's body.
This was the famous soul searching technique!
"So it is as I imagined. That Poison Master is just a pawn of a greater force. I was only surprised to learn that the principal is actually the righteous sect Yueliang Sect, who is behind our imperial power. The question remains whether the emperor dog was the one who asked for the help of the sector was it the sect that wanted to eliminate the Sheng family?" Thought Sheng Hung after analyzing the information received from that soul, after a few minutes reflecting several shadows arose within the boy's 10-year-old luxury tent.
"Demon Lord!" Five shadows hailed and knelt down to the child, who had his back to them.
"Everyone is very slow!" Said Sheng Hung coldly without turning to see the shadows.
The shadows felt his heart racing with fear and they began to sweat cold, their Demon Lord was annoyed with them! If it were not for the infernal training these shadows could already be shaking with fear.
"We're sorry, Lord Demon. Please punish us! "The five speakers at the same time.
"Forget it, if it was in my sister's tent I would simply kill you, but how did this scum come to me ... It makes no difference whether you came or not, death was right for that scum," Sheng Hung said more calmly.
For now, he did not want to punish anyone, they are all being used to move the Legion of Demonic Warriors' base out of the capital, to finally get their own ground and raise a powerful sect. Sheng Hung could not afford to keep those five shadows still because of the punishment.
"But if there is a next time our plans have been discovered, you'd better commit suicide and do not let me find out ... If not, you'll have a life worse than death!" Sheng Hung said leaving his intent to kill overflow, he was like a thick scent of blood and death spreading through the tent.
"Yes, Lord Demon!" Said the five shadows, who tried to suppress the fear inside their hearts.
"Now tell me, Feng Shao was discovered? Did he fail the mission? "Sheng Hung withdrew his intention to kill and returned to his cold mood.
"Feng Shao was not discovered. He came back safe. However, we found a spy in our legion, he was already arrested and questioned. He worked for Seita Yueliang, we tracked down to where the spy sent the information and which was sent. We kill a small branch of the Yueliang Sect, the Demon Lord must receive the news as soon as he arrives at the ancestral mansion, "said a soft, emotionless voice, the other four shadows fell silent.
"I understand. Tell me what happened at home, "said Sheng Hung sitting on his bed, his expression indifferent. Shadow 2 then took a step forward and began to speak:
"Madame Sheng found a mixture of poison in one of the servants who was serving Miss Sheng Shuyi. She then performs a house-cleaning, except for the elders who have been in the family for over 10 years and their families, all other servants have been sold to other cities outside the capital. Each sold servant was placed at his side a spy, but so far they have found nothing relevant. "The voice of shadow two was without emotion.
"My mother is very intelligent, but she can not do much. Clearly she knows the culprits are Chao Biyu and Sheng Qian, but she has no concrete evidence to run the family read. "Sheng Hung thought and sighed with regret, his blue eyes shining with coolness.
"Anything else?" Sheng Hung asked, looking at the three remaining shadows.
"Yes, Sheng Qian has met that man, he must be approaching the ancestral mansion here three days ago. Madam Sheng knows that Sheng Qian is in touch with that man, but she thinks she's some kind of lover, so she's letting Sheng Qian "sink" into the mud before catching her in the blaze. "
"My mother clearly does not see the bigger picture, or it may be that she never imagined that Sheng Qian would use the man she loves to harm her older sister. After all, no one would have imagined that Sheng Qian would use the man she loves, to marry her older sister! All for revenge!" Thought Sheng Hung, smiling coolly, that half-sister was becoming more and more brazen and calculating.
"Shall we intercept that man?" Shadow asked, still taking Sheng Hung out of his thoughts.
"Send Feng YiLing and the other women, distract this man for at least a day. But tell her not to get soiled by that scum, they can use poisons and pills if they want, "Sheng Hung ordered with a mocking smile on his small lips.
"Sheng Qian met her Master two days ago, she asked for some other poison, one that would leave the skin to putrid," said shadow number 4 who stepped forward.
"That little bitch is getting more and bolder!" Said Sheng Hung, leaving his thick intention of killing to leave his small body.
"According to our spies, Sheng Qian is waiting for his father to come back to beg to go to the ancestral mansion," continues shadow number 4.
"Father is of a weak heart. He may hate Chao Biyu, but he sure treats Sheng Qian well, though he does not show his emotions to her. No doubt Sheng Qian will be arriving in the ancestral mansion in two weeks' time, "thought Sheng Hung bitterly.
His father Sheng Feng was a man who loved his daughters too much, who is his little beauties. However, as Sheng Qian was conceived under a scheme, Sheng Feng cannot show much of his affection, otherwise, Chao Biyu could use his daughter to succeed in conquering her husband. Sheng Feng hates Chao Biyu but tolerates her because of Sheng Qian.
"Feng Sang continue to watch over Sheng Qian, take with you five more middle-level members. I want to know everything that's going on with this little snake, "Sheng Hung ordered coldly, shadow number four took a step back after receiving the order.
"Demon Lord, I received some information from the spies of the kingdom's borders. The Original Continent sent three groups of young masters, one belongs to Long country and the other two are from Sheng country. Among them is the grandson of the director of Radiant Academy, the heir to the Zhen family, Zhen Wang, along with his followers. Apparently, Zhen Wang is here to look for someone" said shadow number five who stepped forward.
"Ohhh, it's rare for someone very important to the Mainland Original to step on our Continent Hua, who will the person Zhen Wang look for?" Sheng Hung thought without worrying about the information, as long as he did not interfere with his family, he did not care if he appeared on the Hua Continent.
"The entourage of the young Zhen Wang is going to a place near the ancestral mansion." Shadow number five continues to say.
"Keep monitoring the movements of this entourage, but do not go too close, we don't want him to think you are some kind of enemy," Sheng Hung said in his icy tone.
"Is there any strong person near the ancestral mansion? How come Grandma didn't tell me anything?" Thought Sheng Hung suspiciously. He felt in his heart that this Zhen Wang was going to mess with his family, but he could not do anything, after all, the man was only going to a place near his ancestral mansion.
"Forget it, if he tries anything, Grandma can deal with him," thought Sheng Hung dismissing this troubling thought.
After receiving the order from Sheng Hung to shadow number five he stepped back and knelt, only shadow number 1 and 2 were standing to wait for the orders of the Demon Lord.
"Feng Jia I want you together with the spies infiltrated into Yueliang Sect to investigate who is behind Sheng Qian and that man, whether it is our Zheng Empire or if it is someone from Yueliang Sect, if you first send me a message with a red handkerchief, and if it is the second, come and inform me personally" Sheng Hung ordered to Shadow No. 1, who stepped back and knelt with the others.
"Feng Kang, I want you to keep some men with you to take care of Madam Sheng, it may be that with her being so active in eliminating spies, it may end up enraging some power if you observe that there are families moving to harm the Sheng Family of the capital, you are allowed to kill. Then have someone tell me, "said the little Demon Lord with his voice intent on killing, shadow number two began to chill, but he pulled away and knelt with the others.
"You can leave. Take that scum with you, I have already used a soul-searching technique, you can take it to the doctors, so they have some living body to practice and teach their students, "said Sheng Hung in an indifferent voice.
"Yes, Lord Demon!" Said the five shadows together, they quickly disappeared from the luxurious tent of the little 10-year-old boy.
"Tsk, it looks like the snakes are starting to get restless!" Muttered Sheng Hung, smiling coolly. He climbed into his bed and prepared to sleep as if nothing had happened tonight.
The next day, after another three hours of travel, finally Sheng Shuyi, Sheng Hung and retinue arrived in the small town of Laos, which lay in a verdant valley. It was a city surrounded by a wall of black stone, said the legends that were obsidian!
Pure ostentation!
The gate is made of 1000-year-old cold iron and was thick the width of a carriage, the mechanism that held the gate was of exquisite technology, which Sheng Shuyi could not have imagined in ancient times could have such technology.
The giant iron gate had three smaller coupled gates, made of 200-year-old cold iron. One passage was for the merchants and their chariots, one for the common people and another for the nobles, and in the distance Sheng Shuyi could see a large line to enter the city.
There are 4 large gigantic 1000-year cold iron gates, each of which was coupled to the huge wall, the gates were in the north, south, east, and west. The north gate is used to enter the city, the west gate is to the exit the city, the east gate gave to the "small" exercise of the city, where was the military camp and training area, and the south gate was the entrance to the ancestral territory of the Sheng Family.
The city of Laos is the size of the state of Virginia in the United States!
The city is very big and very rich!
The Sheng Family was the patron saint of Laos City, in fact, Laos City is a small world apart, which even the emperor could not move, which caused envy to the other nobles, who were taxed with high taxes.
Sometimes people have to pay a teleportation to get from one place to another. There are the public teleportation and the private, the first is for the bastard merchants and the second is for the nobles.
Ordinary people would pick up a kind of streetcar that cuts through the city on two railway lines.
The streetcar has the capacity to bring 100 people, there are 100 streetcars, 50 streetcars going and 50 streetcars coming back. However there are over 1 million people only in the western area. So the tram ride is quite expensive, even though it is more accessible than teleportation.
Another way to travel within the city is by renting flying carpet, are items that were cultivated with magic formations, made by the weaver profession. The flying carpet fits up to 50 people comfortably, 70 people if it's tight, but the carpet doesn't fly.
Another way to get around the city is by Jasper wood cars. It is a type of vehicle similar to a luxury wagon closed, but instead of horses, there is a magic formation that absorbs energy from the sky and earth and carries that energy to a motor that drives the movement of the car. There are wooden cars that fit 5 people and cars that can fit up to 20 people.
Both the flying carpet and the magic car are run by growers, at the lowest level on the Auror Core level. So the cost becomes a bit more expensive than the cable car, but still more affordable than the teleportation portal.
Of course, if you are a cultivator you can use your swords or magic items to fly, just register your private vehicle and receive a certificate of approval on the transport desk.
There are also domesticated giant birds, not magical beasts, but a kind of bird-shaped monster, which is very docile and likes an easy life. So these monsters made contracts with humans. Humans fed and cared for them, and birds would let humans install removable booths on their backs and carry other humans.
Because of this contract arose a profession, the monster tamers, which is different from the tamers of magical animals.
Monsters are usually mutations of common animals or maybe hybrids of a descendant of a sacred beast with a demonic beast.
So the air traffic must be chaos?
No, in Laos City there are traffic laws and road and air traffic guards. They are also cultivators of the Auror Core phase.
There are also air platforms for bird landing and magic objects, on this platform has a short trip teleportation portal that takes people to the land, only paying a small fee for a silver coin.
The industries that developed in Laos City depend on a rail system, which is around the walls. The train was driven by an engine that had several formations that helped absorb the energy of the heavens and the earth. The train was made of black iron and titanium alloys.
So the heaviness of heaven and earth should be limited in Laos City? Not the city is surrounded by a giant formation, which eliminates all the rubbish from the city and converts it into energy from heaven and earth!
The garbage is carried by a fleet of black iron trucks, they pass through the city and take them to a remote place surrounded by guards, where garbage is dumped into a giant formation activated by cultivators in the Rising Soul stage!
Agriculture is done in a location the size of the imperial city and there exists a villain, the location is near the ancestral mansion staying on the east side of the mansion. The village is protected by the army and the plantations range from rice, corn, wheat, oats, and rye! In addition to an area for fruit trees and for breeding animals.
In Laos City, you still have schools, universities and research centers!
But we'll talk later, let's go back to the iron gates.
In the three smaller entrances there were five crystals, one blue, the second green, the third pink, the fourth yellow, and the fifth silver.
They are the so-called analytical crystals, which are crystals that a legendary cultivator has cast a spell that allows detecting several things. Each crystal is carved by a strong sculptor - who is also a cultivator - who while sculpt spreads ancient Chinese symbols on the crystal, thus creating a mini-formation spell.
Each crystal costs a whole capital city or more!
Laos City has five crystals in each mini-gate of all four major gates, ie 60 crystals that equate to 60 imperial capitals, only the crystals that are seen, there are still those that are hidden! This is wealthy boasting! The imperial family barely has a crystal at the entrance to their palace!
The blue crystal serves to view the goods and register them, in a cabin next to the blue crystal sends the information to a neutral crystal, which stamps the information on a paper that is on top of a tai chi formation. The employee then sends them to a second office, which uses another star-shaped training, which has the option of selecting up to 3 copies of that paper.
So a copy is in the control office, one goes to the City Revenue Secretary and another goes into the hands of the Sheng Family. Companies such as Auction Companies and Department Stores, who want information about products that have entered the city, can contact the Control Office and request the information until a copy is obtained if you pay 5 ingots of silver, which is equivalent to 30 silver coins.
Do not even want to imagine the profit generated by the control office!
The green crystal is used to detect if the person who has passed through the gate has some bad intention of the type that would damage the city, the crystal gives a slight brightness and sends the information similar to the blue crystal, but there will be the photo and the information of the person who may be suspected of committing a crime in the city.
The green crystal actually has a soul-scan formation, but the information may not be 100% sure, as the person may be wearing a human mask.
Unfortunately for this evil person, the guards of the city take with him a small green crystal that can detect the aura, which is the projection of the soul, so beyond the registered image of the villain will also have registered the aura.
The green crystal information is passed to the Public Security Office and to the Sheng Family. The security office keeps an eye on these people, sending spies to follow them, as soon as they make a move, then the guards will act and they the criminals are arrested.
The pink crystal is used to detect the strength of people entering the city, even if you are an immortal, will not escape in the detection of this crystal.
It is a crystal with a soul formation too, its only purpose is to know about the force, the information is sent in the same way as the other crystals, a copy is with Secretary of Public Security, with the Army and the Sheng Family.
If the person who enters is identified as an immortal, it will be an envoy of the Sheng Family who will handle it! The other powers will be kept watchful without disturbance.
The yellow crystal has a formation inside that identifies the professions of cultivation, as blacksmiths of items above the level of the foundation, alchemists... This type of professional value. This information is passed on to the unions of each profession, to the Secretary of Human Resources and to the Sheng Family. These professionals are watched and sometimes protected, many local nobles, the local government, and the Sheng Family compete for the favor of these people.
The silver crystal serves to identify if the people have some special body or a special lineage, also serves to identify if it is some magical beast immortal level disguised of human or some Devil.
If it is identified that the person has a special body or lineage and she is not in any family or has no support for cultivation, then the Sheng Family mobilizes to bring these treasures into the family.
This is the only crystal in which the Sheng Family has full control, the information goes straight to a private room belonging to the Sheng Family.
If it is a Devil or an immortal Magic Beast, well the Sheng Family will do nothing unless they have come to cause chaos, so they are only being watched.
The crystals are arranged artfully and amid famous paintings, whoever enters does not know about the crystals, nor do immortals realize this.
After Sheng Shuyi and Sheng Hung pass with their entourage at the third gate, they are greeted by the Sheng Family butler Sheng Fai, who had brown hair with some white, shortcut, wine-colored clothes, with a gold emblem of a phoenix. He takes Sheng Shuyi and his younger brother to a private room and there is a large cabin.
"Please, young master and Miss Sheng," the butler said respectfully, pointing to the spacious cabin, on the floor of the cabin has a circular formation with the image of a phoenix each and on the formation lines, there were symbols of ancient Mandarin.
"The famous dimensional portal ?!" thought Sheng Shuyi cheerfully, finally something of a Xuanhuan fantasy world!
A shame that Sheng Shuyi does not see the city Laos inside, if she saw for sure she would think she was somewhere between the 21st century, the 19th or the 23rd century! The city of Laos was the mix of ancient China with a futuristic and ecologically correct reality!
For now, let's just leave our heroine happy with this little teleportation.
They both entered the cabin and positioned themselves on top of the formation, so two growers who were the workers from that area placed a red colored stone in a compartment on the side of the cabin.
The butler Sheng Fai presses a button on the side of the cabin and a modern panel appears, then he enters a password and selects the destination location, before pressing the confirmation, he turns to Sheng Shuyi and Sheng Hung and says:
"Young masters, the butler Sheng Hen will be waiting for you. Do not stir much in the portal and good trip, "said Sheng Fai politely and press the confirmation button.
However, at this very moment, a commotion happens outside and an explosion occurred near the teleportation booths.
"Get the Immortal Shang!" Someone shouted and more blasts suggested, unfortunately, it was too late for the butler Sheng Fai to cancel the space travel.
Because of the explosions, there was interference in space, so it could be that the two brothers were sent to another place and not to the ancestral mansion. It would not be very far, but it would not be too close either.
"Sheng Chen, call the other guards who came from the capital with you and go look for the young master Sheng Hung and the young master Sheng Shuyi, they must have stopped near the property of the ancestral family," ordered the butler Sheng Fai hastily, his eyes released an icy air.
Sheng Shuyi would be surprised to learn that this butler is indeed an immortal cultivator!
The Sheng Family had an immortal cultivator butler! It was practically a slap in the face of society!
"I go along with the others to see who is committing this commotion!" Sheng Fai said coldly, a murderous intention could be felt from his body, it was not a weak murderous intention, it was a murderous intent of a man who faced hundreds of bloody battles!
Sheng Fai was also known as General Bohai because whenever there was a battle and the general appeared to be like a wave of deaths and corpses, the battlefield became worse than hell!
Sheng Fai served under the command of Marshal Sheng Jian, who is the current deceased patriarch of the Sheng Family, Sheng's grandfather Shuyi, Sheng Hung and Sheng Qian.
Well ... Right now Sheng Shuyi was not worried about that, was she more worried where the hell she was?
