The Eternal Evergreen Tree was a supreme treasure of the Evergreen Kingdom. It wouldn't be used unless there was a war. But now, because of an assassination attempt, it was summoned by the Changqing The Great. From this, one could very well imagine how important Qin Wentian was in the heart of the Changqing The Great.
Naturally, there might be another layer of reason. Just like what the Evergreen Great said, even his daughter and son-in-law were assassinated in the Royal Capital of the Evergreen Kingdom. If he didn't find the culprit, wouldn't everyone dare to cause trouble in the Royal Capital of the Evergreen Kingdom in the future?
Even if the culprit was hiding in the shadows, the Changqing The Great still wanted him dead.
No matter who it was, no matter how many people participated in this assassination attempt, as long as they were in the Royal Capital, they must be killed.
In the Royal Capital of the Evergreen Kingdom, countless people inclined their heads, staring at the towering ancient tree. The vast majority of them still had no idea what was going on. They thought that another immortal emperor had invaded the Royal Palace of the Evergreen Kingdom.
The speed at which the Eternal Evergreen Tree expanded was simply too terrifying. In the blink of an eye, it had already reached the location where Qin Wentian was assassinated. The experts there knew what was going on as their hearts trembled. The Changqing The Great actually used the Eternal Evergreen Tree to capture the mastermind?
In just an instant, the Eternal Evergreen Tree directly streaked past, covering the entire sky as it continued to extend outwards. Below, a hunchbacked old man abruptly inclined his head. His eyes flashed with a terrifying sharpness, he didn't look old at all. At the next instant, his body trembled slightly.
Was the Changqing The Great crazy? He actually used the Eternal Evergreen Tree for a failed assassination attempt? What was he trying to do?
He had lived for countless years and had assassinated countless experts. Even for immortal kings, he had almost never failed. Even if he failed, he would always be able to escape unscathed. As a powerful assassin, he had always felt that completing the mission wasn't the most important thing. Preserving his life would always be the most important.
No matter what, he had to ensure his own safety, even if the mission failed.
But looking at the gigantic Eternal Everlasting Evergreen Tree, he felt a tinge of fear. The Changqing The Great was determined to find out who the mastermind was.
Even though he had a glorious past, he still couldn't help but feel terrified when facing someone like the Changqing The Great.
He wanted to escape the imperial city of the Evergreen Kingdom. However, when he saw the Eternal Evergreen Tree expanding crazily, he understood that if he tried to escape now, he would be seeking his own death.
Soon, the vast and boundless Imperial City of the Evergreen Kingdom was enveloped by the Eternal Evergreen Tree. Endless green light sprinkled down, and countless experts raised their heads to look at the void, not knowing what was happening.
"I am the Evergreen Emperor." A voice suddenly rang out from the Eternal Evergreen Tree. Everyone in the Imperial City could hear this voice. This was none other than the Changqing The Great speaking.
"Several months ago, I betrothed my beloved daughter, Qing'er, to Qin Wentian. But today, in the Imperial City of my Evergreen Kingdom, my daughter and son-in-law were assassinated." The voice of the Changqing The Great rang out, causing the hearts of everyone to tremble. They finally understood the reason. Princess Qing'er and Qin Wentian, did something happen to them?
"Luckily, they are fine." The Changqing The Great continued, "However, the mastermind is still in hiding. In the Imperial City of my Evergreen Kingdom, in my territory, there's actually someone who dared to assassinate my daughter and son-in-law right under my eyes, let alone the other people in the city."
Everyone nodded, they naturally understood why the Changqing The Great was so angry. Assassinating his daughter and son-in-law right under his eyes, wasn't this a slap to the face of the Changqing The Great?
If the assassination really succeeded, wouldn't the Changqing The Great and the Evergreen Kingdom become a joke?
"Hence, I hope that everyone in the Imperial City can cooperate with me. All experts at the immortal king realm and above are to gather in my royal palace. We will investigate them one by one until we find the mastermind." The Changqing The Great commanded, "Everyone should be able to understand my intentions. If I discover any immortal kings who didn't come to the royal palace, they will be treated as the assassins."
As the sound of his voice faded, the entire Imperial City trembled. The Evergreen Emperor gave the order to gather all the experts in the Imperial City, making it impossible for the mastermind to escape even if he had wings.
Right now, the entire Imperial City was sealed by the Eternal Evergreen Tree. No one would be able to escape. As long as someone wanted to flee, the Changqing The Great would instantly know and kill them. Who would dare to flee?
"It's our honor to be able to pay our respects to the Evergreen Tree." An immortal king spoke as he stepped out.
"Haha, to think that we would have the chance to witness the magnificence of the Evergreen Tree. We will naturally head there."
In the Imperial City of the Evergreen Kingdom, the immortal kings spoke one after another. After that, they stepped out and moved towards the royal palace.
The Changqing The Great was the ruler of the Imperial City. Also, there was a reason for everything to happen. Everyone would naturally follow his orders.
In an instant, countless immortal kings soared through the air, causing the entire capital to tremble. There were so many experts here, and all of them were immortal kings. This place was as expected of the royal capital of the immortal empire, the most prosperous and powerful place in the world.
At this moment, within the royal palace, the nobility was shaken. Qin Wentian himself was also incomparably shocked.
Because of a single assassination attempt, the Evergreen Emperor was enraged. He activated the Eternal Evergreen Tree and sealed the entire Imperial City, ordering all the immortal kings to gather in the royal palace. Clearly, no one expected the reaction of the Evergreen Emperor would be so intense.
The army moved out, preparing to maintain order. The Changqing The Great's body seemed to have fused into the Eternal Evergreen Tree. He controlled the Evergreen Tree, becoming one with the tree. The Evergreen Tree enveloped the entire Imperial City, and was like his eyes. At this moment, he could clearly see the movements of the entire Imperial City.
Numerous immortal kings gathered in the direction of the royal palace. They were summoned to a large public square by the army there. These people inclined their heads and stared at the sky. The body of the Evergreen Emperor had fused into the ancient tree, exuding an unmatched magnificence. All of them bowed and greeted, "We pay our respects to the Evergreen Emperor."
To the people of the Evergreen Immortal Empire, the Changqing The Great was a supreme existence, a saint in their hearts. Even if this incident didn't happen, they had always hoped to be able to personally witness the glory of the Evergreen Emperor. Today, it could be said that their wish was finally fulfilled.
Within the Imperial City, that stooped old man was still hiding himself, like an ordinary old man. He didn't dare to reveal his aura and didn't dare to head to the royal palace. He was very clear that not only was there the Changqing The Great in the royal palace, there was also the White Emperor. With the two of them present, no matter how well he hid himself, he would definitely be discovered.
In addition, as an assassin, he naturally heard of how powerful the supreme guardian treasure of the Evergreen Kingdom was. Right now, he didn't know whether he should move or not. He was thinking in his heart that he had roamed the immortal realms unhindered, killing countless people. But now, was he going to fall here in the royal palace?
Two hours later, there were already many experts arriving at the royal palace. However, the Changqing The Great didn't bother to investigate them. Instead, he spoke, "If there are still immortal kings who have yet to come to the royal palace, I will personally invite all of you over."
His voice was transmitted through the Evergreen Tree. Everyone in the royal palace could hear it. Who would dare to disobey his command? This place was the royal palace, the Changqing The Great ruled everything under the heavens. Who would dare to disobey him?
Very swiftly, more and more immortal kings gathered in the royal palace. Only when there was no one left in the air did the Changqing The Great continue, "Everyone in the royal palace, stand at your original location."
As the sound of his voice rang out, the entire Imperial City trembled. Following which, countless branches of the Everlasting Evergreen Tree swayed and swept downwards. Rays of green light shot out from the branches, aiming for the crowd.
Everyone, regardless of young or old, regardless of their cultivation bases, were all bound by the branches of the Evergreen Tree. Nobody dared to resist the Changqing The Great. These branches were like the eyes of the Changqing The Great, monitoring everything in the royal palace. Nobody dared to move recklessly.
The jade-green branches transformed into motes of light, slowly seeping into the bodies of the crowd. The crowd watched nervously, allowing the motes of light to seep into their bodies.
However at this moment, there were also people who started trembling. An example was a middle-aged immortal king. He was extremely nervous and just when the motes of light entered his body, he suddenly spoke in a loud voice, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I have no intention of concealing my cultivation base. I will head to the royal palace now."
He didn't expect that the Evergreen Tree would have such a miraculous effect.
As the sound of his voice faded, rustling sounds rang out as beams of light cascaded downwards. Boundless evergreen vines coiled around his body, instantly engulfing him within the void. After which, the vines rapidly moved towards the direction of the Evergreen Kingdom Palace.
In another direction, the sloppy-looking old man suddenly started to panic. He had always thought that his concealment abilities were extremely strong. But when the jade-green light seeped into his body, sensing the energy within his body, he finally understood how terrifying the supreme treasure of the Evergreen Kingdom, the Evergreen Tree, was.
"BOOM!" His body soared up into the air. At this instant, a terrifying might erupted forth from him. His hunched back instantly straightened as he fled into the distance.
Numerous jade-green vines slashed down from the sky, instantly sealing off all his escape routes. Following which, countless vines swept over, sealing off the entire space in an instant. The sloppy old man's body finally began to tremble in fear.
Immortal Emperors, were they really so easy to antagonize? This was especially so for the Changqing The Great, the Evergreen Immortal Emperor. Was it really that fun to assassinate his son-in-law?
Very swiftly, his body was dragged towards the direction of the Evergreen Immortal Empire. Not only him and that old man from before, there were actually over ten immortal kings who were proficient in concealment within the Evergreen Kingdom Palace. At this instant, all of them were exposed without exception, and were dragged towards the palace by the Evergreen Tree.
Very swiftly, these ten plus people appeared within the palace. They were bound by the vines, and their bodies seemed to have been penetrated by the energy of the Evergreen Tree. They appeared extremely weak, and were like criminals being dragged in the air by the vines. Right above the public square where all the immortal kings were gathered, countless immortal kings inclined their heads and stared at these figures, silently praising the Evergreen Immortal Emperor for doing what he said. For those who didn't move, the Evergreen Immortal Emperor personally acted to capture them.
Qin Wentian also arrived here. He inclined his head and stared at the ten plus figures in the air as his eyes gleamed with sharpness. There were so many people behind the scenes?
