Reincarnated With A System In A Cultivation World

“Fufufu! Looks like the time has finally come. That sick bastard is finally dead. I have been waiting thirty years for this day.” an old, sinister voice could be heard.

It was a dark hall. It was always dark halls that these people loved.

It was just a shadow on a throne, and a shadow in front of him.

“Yes, master. It is finally over. Tian Long is dead. The Ancient Portal is finally for the taking. We must seize this moment while we can.” the shadow in front of the throne nodded.

“Well then, what are we waiting for? Bring everyone together. Today is the day that the Zen family will finally come out of the shadows.” the old voice said.

Handu,

“This is wonderful news! After three hundred years, for the first time, we have a chance to reclaim what is ours!” this time, the hall was lit up.

It was not a normal hall though. This was a majestic place. There were jewels, thrones, and men everywhere. This was the royal court of the Handu kingdom.

“Our ancestors ruled the Han dynasty with an iron grip, but one small mistake made us fall to this position. We cannot let go of this opportunity. For the first time ever, I think that the most number of Soul Evolution Stage cultivators are dead. They fight amongst themselves, and we will strike just when they will not expect it.” the man on the throne said.

“Yes, Your Majesty. We will sound the horns. All of our powers should be assembled for this.” a minister stood up and said.

“That is right. We must prepare for this. They lost eight experts, but it seemed that they have four more that we have never seen before. Find out more about them. Maybe we can get some of them on our side.”

“No, Your Majesty, that might reveal our plans. It is disadvantageous to do that. But as the succession wars are going to take place soon enough, because of the stupid customs of the Tian bastards, they will be sure to lose many experts in that fight. And then, we will be able to strike and gain the upper hand.” the minister said.

“On any other day, Minister, I would hang you for your insolence in blatantly refusing my suggestion without any honorofics. But today, well today is a wonderful day. The Han dynasty will finally have a chance to be resurrected!” the king was ecstatic.

As for the minister, he could only thank the gods that his lucky stars had aligned that day and the king was in a good mood.

“Should we tell the princes, Your Majesty?” the minister asked.

“Yes. This is the time for them to prove themselves. In the war that will ensue, whoever will show the greatest power and leadership will become the crown prince of the Han dynasty!” the king announced.

“The princes would be overjoyed, Your Majesty.” the minister bowed down and retreated.

“Haha! I am too happy today. Tian Long! This is what happens when you sit on a throne that does not belong to you. I was terrified if you would let your sister take the throne and create a Tian dynasty, but it looks like you were stupid enough.” the king roared with joy.

Ding Family

“What happened?” the entire family was in uproar.

They just couldn’t believe it. They were also a part of the three under families, and yet, without them knowing, all of a sudden, two families suddenly duked it down to see who would be the winner!

And the Hong family actually lost!

Although to the outside world, it would seem like the Cai family and the Hong family were equal in strength, the Ding family knew better than to assume that.

The Hong family got so many more benefits from the throne, and they had been growing exponentially. When the battle was announced, the family was shocked enough. They felt pity for the Cai family, as the Hong family had even brought in their allies from afar.

But then, the impossible happened, and the Cai family massacred the Hong family down to the last child without even facing a casualty that mattered. That was a fairy tale ending for the Cai family.

But it did not stop there.

The news only got more shocking from there.

“The king is dead? I thought that he had a whole month to live!” a roar came from the very center of the Ding family estate.

It was none other than the family head of the Ding family. He just could not accept the fact that all of this happened during the time that they had sealed themselves off.

Within minutes, every single elder of the family stopped what they were doing, and convened in the family hall.

Every single elder without fail was present.

“The king is dead. The king is dead.” at the helm of the hall, the family head was muttering.

“The succession wars are starting, family head. We are not even supporting a prince yet. What do we do?” the elder in the front stood up and asked.

“Do you think that the succession war is something that matters now? This was not supposed to be like this. One month later, all of the fights were supposed to happen at the same time so that someone could actually ascend the throne and take control of the portal.” the family head shook his head, murmuring at the end again.

“Haha! This is so interesting to watch, don’t you think, family head? The dear king that you serve is gone now. I think that he and I had some good times together. Too bad, he got a little clingy. I thought that I could use his throne’s powers, but it rejected me, so I had to keep him by. And now, he is gone.” a foreign voice came from the other end of the hall.

The family head’s expression changed from that of shock and thought to that of fear.

“Young Master Xian. Is there something that I can help you with?” he stood up and asked, leaving all his dignity as the family head aside for this devilishly handsome looking man.
