[Traditional Fantasy + Cutting Ties with Family + Ruthless and Brutal + Gets Wildly Satisfying After Five Chapters] Zhou Qing was once a prodigy of Southern Wu, a young general renowned throughout the land. Because the emperor was a coward, he was sent to Northern Tang as a hostage, traded for peace for Southern Wu. During his eight years as a hostage, the emperor of Northern Tang promised him high office and great wealth. The chancellor's daughter and the princess, two peerlessly beautiful women, loved him deeply and insisted they would marry no one else. But Zhou Qing's thoughts remained with his family and his fiancée, the princess of Southern Wu. When his eight years were up, he insisted on leaving Northern Tang and returning home. Yet upon his return, he discovered that his fiancée had already broken off their engagement and was soon to marry someone else. His parents had long since stopped caring for him, devoting all their affection to his arrogant, conceited younger brother. Back on his native soil and reunited with his family, Zhou Qing felt not the slightest warmth. His younger brother wanted to take his official post, while the emperor and princess of Southern Wu wanted to seize his merchant guild. Even his father wished to cut ties with him and save his own skin... When everyone was pushing him toward death and forcing him to hand over the woman who loved him deeply, Zhou Qing finally saw through human nature and understood who he truly ought to protect. He broke the seal on his dantian before everyone, and his cultivation surged into the Earthly Immortal realm. He became invincible beneath the heavens! From then on, he would defy his father, defy his sovereign, and defy heaven itself!
