Bai Lei looks around the familiar surroundings with sad eyes after landing. He turns around and looks up with a little hope. After standing there for a few minutes Ren suddenly appears behind him "Master! You've returned... I've looked everywhere for you... I started thinking that the evil woman ate you... the palace is in an uproar."
Bai Lei clenches his fist and ignores Ren as he begins walking to the palace in silence. Ren frowns in confusion but silently follows Bai Lei. Where has his master been? And why does he seem so upset? Did something really happen with him and the evil woman??
Bai Lei walks towards the palace gates as the guards at the gates bow in respect. As he walks past the guards, their heads suddenly fly off, Covering the ground around them in bright red blood! Ren looks at the guards in shock before turning back to his master. "Master?" Ren calls out in confusion.
"I'm tired of the act, we are going home." Bai Lei says without emotion making Ren shiver in fear. His master can be scary but he seems absolutely terrifying right now... what happened!? "Yes," Ren says shifting away to take care of the others and implement their plans.
Bai Lei continues walking to the palace but when he runs into his father's personal eunuch, the eunuch begins nagging. "Young Master! The King has been looking for you for the past two days! Do you have any idea the trouble you've caused!?"
As Bai Lei walks past him, he unleashes some of his power, causing the eunuch to instantly cough up blood and drop to his knees. Bai Lei pauses and slowly turns to look at the eunuch with cold, dark eyes. "Y... you!" The eunuch tries to point but as Bai Lei narrows his eyes, the eunuch's eyes suddenly widen before he coughs up more blood and falls over dead.
Bai Lei doesn't spare the man another look as he heads straight for his father. For years, he's hidden his true power and who he really is to destroy his monstrous father and his disgusting bloodline. He wanted to wait for his father's firstborn, his older half brother but it seems like he won't be back any time soon.
He's tired of waiting... Bai Lei walks into his father's study and finds him behind his desk reading reports. The King instantly feels a powerful, suffocating power but when he looks up, he's left in shock. Bai Lei? This power was coming from him!? Since when??
"Son... Where have you been and... you've grown stronger?" The King says coming to his feet. If he himself wasn't a strong cultivator, he wouldn't be able to stand under the power coming off of Bai Lei right now. As it stands, beads of sweat are forming on his forehead from the immense pressure.
Bai Lei gives his father a dark smile before walking into the room while saying "Do you remember the day you found my mother and I? The way you took me away... the way you killed her?" The King nervously swallows as he says "I didn't kill her son... she had an unfortunate accident. You seem upset... I think you must be misunderstanding something..."
Bai Lei releases a dark chuckle causing the King to shiver at the sound. Was he always this terrifying? No, he must have been hiding his true strength this whole time! Did Bai Lei really know he was the one behind his mother's death?
"Misunderstand? Hmm... have I misunderstood you taking my mother against her will? And then throwing her away like trash when she couldn't help you take the throne... Even when you knew she was pregnant, you tried to have her killed."
The King frowns and nervously licks his lips as he says "I'm the King! If I want something I take it! Your mother should have been happy I chose her but instead, she tried to kill me!" Bai Lei's eyes grow colder as he says "Because you ***** her!"
The King slams his fist on the desk and glares at Bai Lei saying "You ungrateful trash! I brought you here as MY son! You will show me respect!" Bai Lei smirks at his father as he says "You only found us because I wanted you to. I wanted you to bring me back..."
The King's face slowly shows a look of confusion before a look of worry is seen. "What... what have you done?" The King says with growing fear.
"The only thing I didn't think about was you trying to hurt my mother yet again... really, it pisses me off every time I think about it." Bai Lei says as screams are heard from outside the study. The King looks towards the doors with fear before looking back to Bai Lei.
"I'm your father... you can't do this to your own blood!" The King says in an angry shout. Bai Lei steps closer as a dark ironic smile creeps across his face. "I detest you being my father... if I could, I would purge this body of mine of all of your foul blood."
The King shakes with rage and fear as Bai Lei stalks closer. Suddenly the pressure in the room increases causing the King to spit out a mouth full of blood. The King holds himself up on the desk as he looks up to Bai Lei with shock. How could he be this powerful!?
"Your palace is being burnt to the ground as we speak... your concubines are dead along with all your vile offspring." Bai Lei says slowly walking closer. "You should have never touched my mother and you should have stopped looking for her after she ran away from you the first time."
The King's legs shake uncontrollably as the pressure continues to grow! Bai Lei suddenly kicks the desk away causing the King to drop to his knees before Bai Lei. The King looks up to Bai Lei with a glare but when he sees Bai Lei's red eyes he freezes in fear.
"W... what are you?" The King asks with blood dribbling down his chin. Bai Lei's eyes start to glow red as he says "Your worst mistake..." Bai Lei unleashes all his power as he slowly begins killing the King. Screams of pain and horror are heard as the entire palace goes up in flames.
