Zhao Feng examined the Five Spirit Beads, sensing their unprecedented power of the Five Elements laws, and integrated them into his Minor World to revive it by absorbing those laws over time. Emperor Qin Shi Huang ordered ministers and Imperial Guards to accompany him to Mount Tai for the sealing ceremony, eagerly anticipating the revelation of his family members. Crowds thronged the roads in Sishui County to witness the procession, where a man named Liu Ji endured mockery from onlookers.

Moments later.

'Quick, look.'

'The two Misses of the Lv Family have emerged.'

Right then.

A man next to Liu Ji yelled out in excitement.

As soon as he said that.

Countless gazes locked onto a particular location.

There appeared two exquisitely gorgeous ladies clad in black and red flowing gowns, accompanied by numerous attendants to the edge of the main road, all standing by impatiently.

Their emergence drew widespread awe, drawing every eye toward them.

'Miss Lv.'

Liu Ji spotted the pair of alluring stunners, his gaze lighting up with passion.

Right at that instant!

'The First Emperor's imperial carriage has arrived!'

A cry rang out.

All eyes turned toward the city gates.

On this occasion.

The First Emperor headed to Mount Tai for the sacred pilgrimage, having journeyed by river first, now departing once more from Sishui County.

It marked the quickest path too.

'Sister, will the famed Lord Wu'an make an appearance?'

The younger of the Lv Family Misses inquired with curiosity.

'He absolutely will.'

'Lord Wu'an stands as the paramount hero in the First Emperor's conquest of the world. Without him at Mount Tai, what meaning would this pilgrimage hold?' the elder Lv Family Miss declared smilingly.

'Sister, I mean will Lord Wu'an reveal himself openly? If he's inside a carriage, we wouldn't catch sight of him,' the Second Miss of Lv Family whispered gently.

'I hope we get to see him.'

Anticipation appeared on the Big Miss of Lv Family's face as well.

Evidently.

Both adored Zhao Feng deeply.

For women across the realm, countless harbored admiration for Zhao Feng.

He conquered nations, aiding the Emperor in uniting the lands.

He even ventured into the barbarian steppes, massacring the foreign hordes.

How could a hero like that fail to captivate hearts?

Besides, he remained so youthful, merely in his twenties.

What woman wouldn't cherish him?

'Welcome the First Emperor!'

As the Imperial Guard Army emerged beyond the city walls.

The throngs of Imperial Guards and local garrison troops within the city prostrated in reverence.

Witnessing this spectacle.

Nearby commoners dropped to their knees in homage too.

Nobles with ranks could stand, but the titeless masses had to kneel.

Obviously.

In this former Chu territory of Sishui County, few held noble status.

That thunderous roar echoed like mountains crashing.

Myriad people lining the official road fell to their knees successively, chanting at the top of their lungs: 'Welcome the First Emperor!'

Amid this resounding cheer.

A grand imperial carriage, pulled by nine steeds, advanced steadily.

Leading before the imperial carriage.

Next to a commander in Imperial Guard armor.

A youthful figure in royal robes and crown rode forward, unarmored.

All observed the procession with utmost respect.

'Sishui County.'

'Liu Bang.'

'I wonder what has become of Liu Bang now?'

Zhao Feng mounted his steed, surveying the surroundings.

Entering Sishui County.

Thoughts of the historical Liu Bang instantly filled Zhao Feng's mind.

'Liu Bang.'

'The Han Dynasty's founding emperor from history.'

'You're formidable indeed, yet with me here now, your destiny shifts away.' Zhao Feng mused to himself with a smile, dismissing Liu Bang lightly.

Should Liu Bang still claim the world despite Zhao Feng's vast resources and power, he'd be nothing but a laughingstock.

'Sister.'

'Quick, look.'

'That must be Lord Wu'an.'

While kneeling, the Second Miss of Lv Family fixed her admiring eyes on Zhao Feng.

'It has to be him.'

'Royal robes, king's crown, sword.'

'This is undoubtedly Qin's Lord Wu'an, Zhao Feng.'

'Just as the tales say, so young and handsome—marrying a man like him would be a dream!' the Big Miss of Lv Family exclaimed passionately.

'Sister.'

'It's a delightful fantasy, but practically unattainable.' The Second Miss of Lv Family sighed in mild dejection.

Within the imperial carriage.

Ying Zheng rested with eyes shut briefly, yet his mind dwelled solely on the carriage trailing behind.

Merely one carriage separated him from his cherished one, but Mount Tai lay ahead, so the barrier of distance persisted unbroken.

Sishui County.

Merely a brief stopover en route.

Meanwhile, the prostrated Liu Ji eyed the imperial carriage and its vast escorting forces, his gaze burning with an ambition beyond his station.

'A true man lives like this!'

Liu Ji gazed intently, whispering to himself, brimming with lofty dreams.

The very instant those words escaped his lips.

Zhao Feng's eyebrows knit, his piercing stare cutting through the masses to fix squarely on Liu Ji.

Sensing that razor-sharp look from Zhao Feng.

Liu Ji felt as if a wrathful god glared at him, his entire frame quaking uncontrollably.

'A man should be like this?'

'You're insignificant to me, but who knows if you're a Child of Qi Fortune? Eliminating you now might avert future headaches.' Zhao Feng pondered silently.

Next.

With a mere thought.

'Ying Bu.'

'Once the imperial carriage passes, seize the man I've just eyed. Haul him to Yanting—kill any who block you.'

Zhao Feng sent the command via Divine Sense straight to Ying Bu.

From the shadowy nooks of Sishui County.

Ying Bu bowed deeply: 'Your subordinate obeys.'

Shortly thereafter.

Ying Bu scanned around, immediately pinpointing the target Zhao Feng had marked, etching Liu Ji's image firmly in memory.

With Ying Bu set in motion.

Zhao Feng finally shifted his gaze away.

And precisely then!

Cold sweat soaked Liu Ji, his limbs turning leaden and unresponsive.

'What a fearsome figure.' Liu Ji panicked inwardly, too scared to glance at the imperial carriage anymore.

Guarded by the Imperial Guard Army.

The imperial carriage pressed onward, rapidly leaving Sishui County behind.

After the imperial carriage departed.

The crowds kneeling along the official road rose gradually, the First Emperor's awe-inspiring presence fully revealed in that instant.
