The Ming Dynasty: The most ruthless imperial grandson, Old Zhu begged me not to kill him.

Chapter 713 Why Did I Travel Here?

"This...how is this possible?" Zhu Xiong Ying couldn't believe it. "I'm clearly a modern person..."

“I know it’s hard for you to accept,” Bai Suzhen said, “but that’s the truth. Your soul traveled through time and space to come to this world and possessed Zhu Xiong Ying’s body.”

Zhu Xiong Ying fell silent; he needed time to process this astonishing fact.

"Then do you know why I traveled here?" Zhu Xiong Ying asked.

Bai Suzhen shook her head: "I don't know. Perhaps, this is fate's arrangement."

Zhu Xiong Ying smiled bitterly to himself. Fate's arrangement? This is too absurd!

"Then do you know how I should get back?" Zhu Xiong Ying asked again.

Bai Suzhen shook her head again: "I don't know. The world inside the Qiankun Cauldron is isolated from the outside world. Unless the owner of the Qiankun Cauldron appears, no one can leave here."

Zhu Xiong Ying felt despair. Was he destined to be trapped in this world forever?

“However…” Bai Suzhen changed the subject, “The prophecy also mentions that after you complete your mission, you can return to your original world.”

"Mission?" Zhu Xiong Ying's heart skipped a beat. "What mission?"

Bai Suzhen smiled mysteriously and said, "Heavenly secrets cannot be revealed."

Zhu Xiong Ying sighed helplessly. Why did Bai Suzhen always speak in such a mysterious way?

“Oh, right,” Zhu Xiong Ying suddenly remembered something, “you said I am the grandson of the Ming Taizu, then what about my parents?”

Bai Suzhen's expression suddenly turned solemn. She remained silent for a moment before slowly saying, "Your parents... are no longer alive."

"What?" Zhu Xiong Ying felt a pang of pain in her heart. "How did they die?"

Bai Suzhen sighed and said, "They were harmed by treacherous people."

"A villain?" A cold glint flashed in Zhu Xiong Ying's eyes. "Who is it?"

Bai Suzhen didn't speak, she just quietly looked at Zhu Xiong Ying.

A surge of anger rose in Zhu Xiong Ying's heart. He was determined to find the murderer who killed his parents and avenge them!

Just then, a commotion suddenly broke out outside the door...

The commotion outside grew louder, mixed with the sounds of clashing weapons. Zhu Xiong Ying's heart skipped a beat; could it be an attack?
"What's going on outside?" Zhu Xiong Ying asked.

Bai Suzhen's expression turned grave: "I'm afraid they're here for you."

A cold glint flashed in Zhu Xiong Ying's eyes: "Then let them come!"

Having said that, he strode towards the door. Bai Suzhen followed closely behind.

As soon as they reached the door, they saw a group of men in black, wielding swords and knives, fighting a group of soldiers in armor.

Although the soldiers outnumbered the men, the men in black were clearly more skilled in martial arts, and the soldiers gradually lost ground.

"You audacious madman, how dare you trespass into the palace!" Zhu Xiong Ying roared, his voice booming like a bell, making everyone's eardrums buzz.

The men in black stopped what they were doing and turned to look at Zhu Xiong Ying.

The leader, a tall man in black with a ferocious mask on his face, sneered, "Zhu Xiong Ying, your death is near!"

Zhu Xiong Ying sneered: "You think you can compete with such lowly people?"

After saying that, he flashed like a ghost and instantly appeared in front of the man in black, throwing a punch.

Caught off guard, the man in black was punched in the chest by Zhu Xiong Ying, flying backward and crashing heavily to the ground, spitting out blood.

Seeing this, the other men in black surrounded and attacked.

Zhu Xiong Ying was not afraid at all. He was agile and his punches and kicks were as fast as the wind. Every move he made was full of power. The man in black was no match for him.

Bai Suzhen stood aside, quietly watching Zhu Xiong Ying fight, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes. She discovered that Zhu Xiong Ying's martial arts were even stronger than she had imagined.

In just a few days, he was able to use the dragon energy within his body with ease.

This is simply a miracle!
In no time at all, Zhu Xiong Ying had knocked all the men in black to the ground, where they were wailing in pain.

Zhu Xiong Ying walked up to the masked man in black, ripped off the mask, and revealed a familiar face.

“Prince Yan, Zhu Di!” Zhu Xiong Ying said through gritted teeth.

Zhu Di was Zhu Xiong Ying's fourth uncle, and also the murderer of his parents!
"Didn't expect this, did you, nephew?" Zhu Di sneered. "I've finally waited for this day!"

"Why did you kill my parents?" Zhu Xiong Ying roared.

"Because your father is blocking my way!" A hint of resentment flashed in Zhu Di's eyes. "He is the eldest son, so why should he inherit the throne? I am the most suitable candidate!"

"You are utterly depraved!" Zhu Xiong Ying was furious and punched Zhu Di in the face.

Zhu Di screamed in agony as his nose broke and blood gushed out.

"I'm going to kill you!" Zhu Xiong Ying roared.

"Kill me, and you won't leave here alive either!" Zhu Di said viciously.

"Is that so?" Zhu Xiong Ying sneered. "You think you can stop me with these pieces of trash?"

Having said that, he flashed out of the encirclement and rushed towards the outside of the palace.

Upon seeing this, Bai Suzhen quickly followed.

Zhu Xiong Ying ran all the way and soon arrived outside the palace.

Looking at the bustling street before him, a surge of ambition suddenly welled up within him.

He, Zhu Xiong Ying, was the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty!
He wanted to make the Ming Dynasty the most powerful country in the world!
He wants to make all his enemies submit to him!

"Bai Suzhen," Zhu Xiong Ying turned to look at Bai Suzhen, "I will conquer this world!"

Bai Suzhen smiled slightly: "I believe you, Your Majesty."

Zhu Xiong Ying laughed heartily, feeling his body brimming with power.

He believed that he would definitely be able to achieve this goal!
Suddenly, Zhu Xiong Ying felt dizzy and her vision went black; she then lost consciousness.

When he woke up again, he found himself lying in bed.

"Your Majesty, you've finally woken up!" a familiar voice called out.

Zhu Xiong Ying turned his head and saw Bai Suzhen sitting by the bed, looking at him with concern.

"What's wrong with me?" Zhu Xiong Ying asked.

“You suddenly fainted earlier,” Bai Suzhen said. “It’s probably because the dragon energy in your body hasn’t fully integrated yet, which is why this happened.”

"Dragon energy?" Zhu Xiong Ying's heart stirred, recalling what Bai Su Zhen had said before.

“That’s right,” Bai Suzhen nodded. “Your body contains powerful dragon energy. This dragon energy can give you unparalleled power, but at the same time, it will also bring you great danger.”

"Danger?" Zhu Xiong Ying asked in confusion. "What danger?"

Bai Suzhen pondered for a moment and said, "The dragon energy will gradually erode your mind, making you violent and bloodthirsty. If you cannot control the dragon energy, you will eventually become a monster who only knows how to kill."

Zhu Xiong Ying felt a chill run down his spine; he hadn't expected that dragon energy would have such a side effect.

Zhu Xiong Ying's heart skipped a beat. The power brought by the dragon energy excited him, but the potential danger also made him uneasy. He clenched his fists so tightly that his nails almost dug into his flesh. "Miss Bai, is there any way to control this dragon energy?"
