It didn't take long, merely a blink of an eye in fact before he directly became a Nascent Soul Cultivator.
His demeanor was growing much more relaxed than before.
Now reaching the Nascent Soul Realm, the worry of the enemy kingdom invading his territory was almost completely washed away.
Although there was a much higher realm than the Nascent Soul Realm in this world, it was enough to easily walk through the entire small kingdom.
The strongest general in his kingdom being just a mere foundation realm, dare to say that he could easily overturn his entire kingdom with the back of his palms.
As for the enemy kingdom?
They were surrounded by merely two and both of them had similar strength to his own.
Just that because of his incompetent and petty rule, his kingdom has suffered through a period of uncertainty. While the peak strength remained the same but the overall strength has sharply decreased.
For small kingdoms like them, the overall strength was much more important than peak strength.
Xia Jian's hand instinctively started to roam around around the two woman's supple and curvy waist going to forbidden places, eliciting some sweet moans out of the two's mouth.
These two were his favourite concubines and both of them were perfect Milf with large boobs and curvy ass.
Enjoying their comfort while seeing the heart-wrenching scene of people dying before him had a strange thrill to it.
Strangely, he didn't feel any sympathy for all these people even though he should. Maybe it's because he is still Xia Jian even though gaining his past life memory.
At this time, he heard the rustling sound from far away. Xia Jian closed his eyes and used the Divine Sense, an ability of the Nascent Soul realm to peek where the sound came from.
There was a group of women flying on top of their swords.
"Hmm?" He fluttered his eyes open with a strange glint in his eyes, "Hey, I didn't expect Fan Liqiu to be here. What a coincidence, I would have looked for her on my own if she didn't come."
Xia Jian still remembered that this core disciple of one of the top sects in his kingdom always came bothering him constantly.
Pattering on about how one shouldn't burn the village, torture his own people and some shit like that. She almost made him an eunuch several times to warn him.
Of course even then Xia Jian never listened but because she was also a half-princess and had a backing from the top sect, he couldn't do anything outright to her.
"Hehe, now I can take my revenge," Xia Jiang tightened his hold on their waist, letting their soft flesh press on his body and asked lightly, "Isn't that right my two beautiful concubines?"
"You are right, emperor," The two spoke, nodding their heads even though they didn't know what he was talking about. They dare not disagree, after all, he was extremely moody.
"Great, haha," Xia Jian laughed, observing as the group of women in flying swords finally came into view and descended onto the ground.
The moment they descended, the prettiest woman who was at the lead, directly flew towards him.
"Xia Jian you really didn't receive my warning and went ahead and burned another village, I am going to kill you today," she shouted in complete anger.
"Is that so?" Xia Jiang only sneered lightly.
Just as she was merely a few distance away from him, he suddenly released his cultivation of Nascent Soul Realm.
Her body froze in place, motionlessly falling to the ground with a thud, cultivation completely suppressed.
"What could a mere peak Qi-refining Cultivator do to me?"
"You… you… how could you reach the…!?" Fan Liqiu lips trembled, tasting the soil and feeling the disbelief only mount her heart. But getting a closer look, she couldn't discern his cultivation in the slightest:
"Which realm have you even reached!?"
"You are not worthy to know about that," Xia Jian shook his head nonchalantly.
Raising his back reluctantly from the comfort of their two soft flesh, he cleared his throat and spoke in a deeper, majestic voice:
"Do you know the consequence of trying to attack this emperor? It can be considered a capital punishment and you would be given death by whip."
"Wh… what!?" her eyes widened, unable to believe what she heard.
"Even if you are my royal sister, the amount of time that you have tried to disrupt and harm me is still enough to give capital punishment," Xia Jiang calmly turned towards his minister and asked, "Isn't that right?"
"This…" the minister felt his heart tremble, of course, capital punishment would have been given long ago if they were following the rules.
But she had the backing of the top sect if she were to be killed, maybe the kingdom would have to go to war against the sect and their vulnerable position would only deepen.
"I… I advise you to not…"
"What did I say before, minister?" Xia Jian's tone sharpened, carrying the majestic voice befitting of an emperor.
"Y… yes…" he hurriedly nodded, "Fan Liqiu has tried to harm you approximately 999 times now, counting this time, it would be a thousand times. Even if she is a royalty, it is enough for her to incur capital punishment fifty times."
"Ho, that is not a bad number," Xia Jian looked at her with mocking eyes, "So how do you want to die?"
"You…" Fan Liqiu gritted her teeth, eyes filled with hatred.
"I have sealed away her cultivation, carry her guards," he spoke casually.
"Yes."
The soldiers tentatively arrived before Fan Liqiu, binding her arms and legs in ropes and dragging her away.
"Wait," Xia Jiang eyes looked at empty air and said, "bind her neck on a leash as well and drag her like a dog towards me."
