The Unseen Path of the Shura Magic Eyes

The third young master, with a loud laugh, said, "Well said! A man must have grand ambitions, a promising future! What's the point of being a flower thief? Constantly hunted by women and their families—what's the fun in that? And being a lover? That's just exhausting and expensive! Speaking of which, my manor in the Xiaoyao Mountain Villa is too small, not even comparable to those grand palaces with three courtyards and six halls! I'm not boasting, but if I were to rule as a wise emperor, I couldn't do it. However, if you want me to be an indulgent, pleasure-seeking, foolish king, I'm definitely uniquely talented in that area!"

Qiao Wei nodded in agreement. "The young master speaks the truth! A man must have strong wine and wield a famous sword. If you're going to have women, they should be the most famous beauties in the world. Imagine, if you, young master, held the power to command the world, not just one empress and two consorts, but one empress and ten consorts, or even thirty! As long as your palace bed is big enough, you could sleep with as many as you want in a single night! And those beauties—who would dare to not flatter you? Who would dare to chase you with swords? You, young master, wouldn't even have to lift a finger!"

The third young master suddenly stood up, extending his right hand and placing his left hand on his hip, striking a pose as if pointing at the world. He shouted, "I shall wield an indestructible golden spear and create... a vast, endless harem!"

Qiao Wei and Uncle Li cheered in unison, "Good, a man with great aspirations, a true hero!"

But then, the third young master suddenly changed his expression and coldly snorted. "Damn it, are you treating me like a child? I was just putting on a show for you! Just a moment ago, I was still figuring out how to stop Ximen Wudi from dominating the world, and now you're all encouraging me to rebel? Don't think I don't understand the law; rebellion is a serious crime—destroying families and exterminating clans!"

Uncle Li chuckled, "Young master, you're mistaken. I, Old Li, pride myself on understanding people's hearts. From the moment I saw you, I knew you were a rare talent. As for your appearance, young master, you have an unexplainable charm, and when you're angry, you exude an aura of authority that makes people fear you. As for character, you are shameless and unscrupulous, the very qualities that make a ruler great. As for wisdom and martial skill, your talents are unmatched. And furthermore," Uncle Li suddenly became serious, his tone darkening, "when a country is on the brink of collapse, there must be a demon. You, the third young master of the Qin family, are the greatest demon of them all!"

Qiao Wei added, "Yes, it's said that when the 'Shura Magic Eyes' emerge, mountains of corpses will be piled high, blood will flow like rivers, and the heavens and earth will change."

Uncle Li stepped forward, his voice low and ominous. "The mountains of corpses and blood-strewn earth refer to the bloodshed before the fall of a dynasty. The shifting stars and the changing of the heavens refer to the fall of the old emperor and the rise of a new ruler."

Qiao Wei continued, "So, if young master doesn't have this ambition, you'll just become a pawn in someone else's game, a tool for their conquest. But if you have the ambition, then you could carve out your own world!"

The third young master, now intrigued, asked in a low voice, "What exactly are the 'Shura Magic Eyes'?"

"The 'Shura Magic Eyes' are just a legend," Qiao Wei replied. "It is said that they were passed down by the previous dynasty's high priest, Taigong Wang. The previous dynasty ruled for eight hundred years before the world descended into chaos and split into seven factions. Before Taigong Wang died, he said, 'What is divided will eventually unite, and what is united will eventually divide again.' The Shura Magic Eyes will appear after the great chaos and reunification of the world, and when they do, the world will be plunged into even more turmoil."

"Those who possess the Shura Magic Eyes can see a frozen plain, a blood-stained earth, white bones piled high, and a Shura blood-hand laughing wildly to the heavens. These are things you cannot see, but those who look into your eyes will see them clearly when your killing intent is triggered. That's why so many people, after meeting your gaze, either die from fear or are too weak to fight back."

"Whoever possesses the 'Shura Magic Eyes' will rule the world," Taigong Wang's writings said. But no one knows if that means that whoever owns the eyes will rule the world or if it means that the person who possesses the eyes will rule the world. That's why the leader of the Demon Sect, Ximen Wudi, has put so much effort into trying to control you. He wants your power, but he fears that the prophecy means the second interpretation, so he's trying to destroy you."

"You have no choice now," Uncle Li concluded. "Either you retreat from the martial world, hide your name, and forget about everything—then that woman won't be a problem for you. Or, you rise up in rebellion, wipe out the Demon Sect, unite the martial world, and when the great chaos comes, you will seize power and rule over the world. And from then on, all the beauties of the world will be at your command, as many as you want!"

The third young master, fired up by their words, grabbed a wine jar and drank it all in one go, exclaiming, "I never knew I was destined for greatness! Hahaha... Fate, you're really giving me quite the thrilling life! Well, since it's my destiny, I'll follow the will of heaven! All the beauties of the world, wait for me! Once I have power, I'll make you all pose however I want! You'll have to do whatever I say in bed! Whoever dares resist... I'll cut them down! All the beauties of the world will belong to me, and I'll take as many as I want! Hahaha..."

Qiao Wei, completely exasperated, whispered to Uncle Li, "Old Li, this is inevitable. The third young master has always been like this. If we don't dangle some beauties in front of him, he wouldn't be motivated to do anything."

Uncle Li sighed, "Yes, every man dreams of the three palaces, six courtyards, and seventy-two concubines. And for someone like the third young master, the biggest flower thief in the world, this is just irresistible. Ugh… Shameless, despicable!"

After a while, the third young master grew uneasy, as if something was wrong, like he had been duped.

His lazy nature meant he would always enthusiastically pursue women, but plotting conspiracies, dealing with Ximen Wudi, or conquering the Great Qin Empire—he had no interest. Why go through all that trouble? It would be far easier if others did the hard work and then handed him the throne so he could enjoy the benefits of a lavish harem. That was the life the third young master wanted.

So, after declaring his grand ambitions, he added, "Wei Ge, Uncle Li, I think we don't need to be too proactive. Let's take things one step at a time. If others want to come after me, I'll deal with it when the time comes. Who needs all that trouble?"

What the third young master really thought was: I never signed up for world domination or saving the planet in this life. I've worked hard to be reborn, so I'm going to enjoy it! Damn it, these two old foxes have tricked me. Why should I bother? As long as no one opposes me, I'm not going to go looking for trouble. Teaching Ximen Wudi a lesson is one thing, but leading a rebellion? Count me out. I'll happily sit back and let them conquer the world while I enjoy my role as a lazy king...

Meanwhile, Qiao Wei and Uncle Li had already begun plotting their next move against Ximen Wudi, paying little attention to the third young master's words.

Qiao Wei knew how lazy the third young master was. He was the type who wouldn't even move unless something hot was dropped on his feet. There was no chance of getting him to think or exert any effort on his own. Of course, if you threw some beautiful women at him, he'd happily jump to action.

But with the martial world in turmoil, the Demon Sect closing in, and the martial arts conference approaching, the plots would soon surface, and when the third young master was caught in a trap, Xiaoyao Mountain Villa and the Ironblood Howling Sky Alliance would be dragged in too. The third young master's bloodthirsty nature would inevitably be awakened.

Once that happened, nothing could stop him. As the saying goes, "A man in the martial world has no choice but to act." Even if the third young master didn't want to make a big impact, fate would push him into it.

The third young master would have no escape. His destiny was sealed. And those beauties... well, they'd be his whether he liked it or not.

While Qiao Wei and Uncle Li were deep
