The Eastern Mountain Marquis, the nobility of the Ye Country, led his people over, his anger towering up into the sky. He didn't care about the price he had to pay to kill the disciples of the Battle Sword Sect before departing.
His cultivation base was at the Celestial Phenomenon Realm, and one couldn't help but say that the person who made use of Dongshan Jin had already succeeded. They were certain that given the personality of the Eastern Mountain Marquis, he would definitely seek revenge. But who would have thought that the moment the Eastern Mountain Marquis arrived, he was instantly killed on the spot.
Staring at the severed body, the hearts of everyone couldn't help but to tremble violently as their breathing quickened.
The Battle Sword Sect, one of the nine great sects, how could their reputation be undeserved?
When the Eastern Mountain Marquis appeared, Qin Wentian immediately used a terrifying attack-type divine weapon that could threaten even low-level Ascendants. Although the Eastern Mountain Marquis managed to block it, he didn't manage to block the second strike.
Duan Han's palm glowed with a brilliant light, it was impossible to tell what divine weapon it was. One could only tell that Duan Han's grasp of timing was extremely accurate. Just as the Eastern Mountain Marquis blocked the attack of Qin Wentian's divine weapon, darkness appeared. The members of the Battle Sword Sect acted at the same time, disrupting the perception of the Eastern Mountain Marquis. Duan Han unleashed a sure-kill strike, the power contained within the darkness was even more terrifying compared to Qin Wentian's divine weapon, directly killing the Eastern Mountain Marquis.
This Duan Han was the ninth personal disciple under Sword Sovereign Ling Tian, how could he not have any tyrannical methods? That beam of light earlier was definitely something Sword Sovereign Ling Tian left behind for him to deal with Celestial Phenomenon Ascendants. This Duan Han's personality was also extremely ruthless and decisive. The instant the Eastern Mountain Marquis appeared, he killed him with no hesitation at all, giving the Eastern Mountain Marquis no time to unleash his full strength.
"KILL!" Duan Han's silhouette didn't pause for a moment. He stepped out, his black robes fluttering in the wind. His pitch-black eyes caused the people from the Eastern Mountain Marquis Manor to feel a sense of despair.
Even the Eastern Mountain Marquis was killed in an instant, how could they stand against these disciples of the Battle Sword Sect?
Leaving aside the others, just Duan Han who was at the peak of the eighth level of Heavenly Dipper, how could his combat prowess be compared to the ninth-level Heavenly Dipper Sovereigns?
Not only that, other than Duan Han, the other disciples of the Battle Sword Sect were all extremely powerful. There was even one at the eighth level of Heavenly Dipper, and quite a few at the seventh level.
And indeed, Duan Han slaughtered his way into the crowd of people from the Eastern Mountain Marquis Manor, killing one with each strike. His sword light was like a resplendent light in the dark night. Everyone finally understood why he was clad in black. The brilliance of his sword was unblockable.
In just an instant, those from the Eastern Mountain Marquis Manor were all massacred, causing the hearts of the spectators to tremble in fear. How decisive was this slaughter? Although everyone understood that since both sides clashed, one side would definitely die, the ruthlessness and decisiveness of the disciples of the Battle Sword Sect still caused the hearts of the spectators to tremble. Most probably, this was the difference between the disciples of the great sects and ordinary people. If not, how would they be able to dominate an entire region, causing everyone in the world to revere them?
Qin Wentian's countenance was like ice as he rode on the vermilion bird. The disciples of the Battle Sword Sect followed behind him. Now that the Eastern Mountain Marquis had died, there was no one else who could obstruct Qin Wentian and the others. The group of them continued on their way towards the royal palace.
In the Qi King Manor, Ye Kongfan was infuriated after he received the news. His countenance was ice cold as he stared at the people below.
Such a complicated plan had actually failed.
"How did the people of the Battle Sword Sect discover this so quickly? Didn't I tell you all to send people to watch over them?" Ye Kongfan coldly spoke. When he learned that Qin Wentian and Mo Qingcheng had left the royal palace alone, he immediately ordered his men to execute the plan, preparing to kill Qin Wentian. His subordinates also executed the plan well, finding the Eastern Mountain Marquis to bear the blame for this crime.
The Eastern Mountain Marquis had always been impulsive, he wasn't afraid of anything. However, he doted on that mischievous Dongshan Jin. If Dongshan Jin died in the hands of Qin Wentian, he would spare no expense to kill Qin Wentian.
As expected, Dongshan Jin died. Although Qin Wentian clearly knew that this was a plot, given his arrogant personality and how much he valued Mo Qingcheng, he still killed Dongshan Jin. Everything was going according to plan, but they had still underestimated Qin Wentian's strength as well as those from the Battle Sword Sect.
"Duan Han from the Battle Sword Sect sensed that something was wrong. He immediately ignored the obstructions and directly went to search for Qin Wentian and Mo Qingcheng." The people below lowered their heads as they reported. This Duan Han was calm and decisive. He was an extremely difficult character to deal with. They had done all they could to deal with him, yet he completely ignored them.
"Kongfan, this Duan Han is the personal disciple of Sword Sovereign Ling Tian. There's no doubt that he's extraordinary. Not only that, he also has a trump card that can kill Celestial Phenomenon Ascendants. This time around, we have underestimated our enemies." A person beside Ye Kongfan spoke. Ye Kongfan's countenance was extremely heavy, yet he nodded his head lightly, "But it doesn't matter. Aren't they extremely angry and want to come to the Qi King Palace to settle the debt? Since this is the case, let's teach them a lesson. "
"That's right. If they dare to come here, things would truly be interesting." The people beside him laughed. Ye Kongfan stared at the people below as he coldly commanded, "Immediately gather all the peak-level Heavenly Dipper Sovereigns in the Qi King Palace. Since it's inconvenient for Celestial Phenomenon Ascendants to participate, let's use our strongest strength to suppress them."
"Roger." The people below acknowledged and retreated. Ye Kongfan stood up and flicked his sleeves as he spoke, "Let's go, we will wait for them outside."
…
In the Human Emperor's chamber, the Human Emperor was lying on his bed with the Empress and Royal Concubine by his side. At this moment, the resting Human Emperor suddenly opened his eyes as a cold light flickered within. After which, the Human Emperor stared at the Empress and spoke, "Help me summon Shi Xuan here. Tell Lingshuang to come as well."
The eyes of the Empress flickered as she stared at the Human Emperor. The Human Emperor nodded to her as she obeyed his orders and left. Not too long after, a young man exuding a baleful aura and Ye Lingshuang appeared together in the Human Emperor's chamber.
"Human Emperor." Shi Xuan bowed to the Human Emperor.
"Summon the Heavenly Dipper Camp of the Iron Blood Camp and the Divine Arrow Camp of the Heavenly Dipper Camp. At the same time, pass the command talismans of the two camps to Lingshuang." The Human Emperor spoke to Shi Xuan. Shi Xuan's eyes flashed with sharpness, but he didn't hesitate as he bowed to the Human Emperor, "Roger."
After speaking, he took out two command talismans. One of them had an image of a divine arrow engraved on it, while the other had a blood-colored image.
"Princess Lingshuang." Shi Xuan passed the command talismans to Ye Lingshuang. Ye Lingshuang glanced at the Human Emperor and upon seeing him nodding to her, she accepted the command talismans. Her heart was filled with bewilderment, she had never heard of the Iron Blood Camp and Divine Arrow Camp before. Most probably, these two were the direct subordinates of her royal father and should be extraordinary.
"Your subordinate will go now." Shi Xuan spoke to the Human Emperor, only to hear the Human Emperor instructing him again, "You will lead the Dragon-Elephant Army and provide support from the shadows. Don't reveal yourself."
"Roger." Shi Xuan nodded as he retreated.
"Human Emperor." The Empress had a look of worry on her face as she stared at the Human Emperor. She knew who Shi Xuan was and also knew what the Dragon-Elephant Army represented. Did the Human Emperor intend to expose them?
"Don't worry, the Qi King no longer has any respect for the Emperor. Since this is the case, I really want to see how much strength he has exactly." The Human Emperor's eyes flashed with sharpness as he stared at Ye Lingshuang. "Wentian was assassinated by Ye Kongfan, and Ye Kongfan spread rumors to slander Qingcheng's reputation. Right now, Wentian is heading to the Royal Palace with the members of the Battle Sword Sect, and will definitely head to the Qi King Palace. At that time, Ye Kongfan will order his men to deal a heavy blow to the members of the Battle Sword Sect. You will lead the troops from the two camps and pass down the Human Emperor's decree. The crown prince of the Qi King, Ye Kongfan, is suspected of slandering the reputation of the Holy Maiden of the Medicine Sovereign Valley and wanted to harm my foster son. If the Qi King resists, they will be treated as traitors."
The countenances of the Empress and Ye Lingshuang drastically changed. Right now, the Qi King already controlled a lot of power. The only reason why he didn't seize the throne was because the Human Emperor was still alive. After all, the Human Emperor's combat prowess was heaven-defying, invincible in Ye. The Qi King wasn't willing to take the risk until he died from the poison. He would rather wait. But now that the Human Emperor took the initiative to attack, the entire Ye Country would be in chaos, forcing the Qi King to rebel.
"Royal father!" Ye Lingshuang turned pale with fright as she called out.
"Lingshuang, just do as I say. If the Qi King rebelled, he would definitely be able to affect everyone else. We would be able to see clearly how many people would rebel." The Human Emperor calmly spoke.
"If the Qi King directly attacks us, how should we deal with it?" Ye Lingshuang asked.
"Don't worry, he wouldn't dare to." The Human Emperor seemed to be extremely clear about everything, as though he had regained his former glory. Upon seeing the expression on the Human Emperor's face, the Empress couldn't help but feel her heart trembling. After which, she added, "Lingshuang, just do as your royal father says."
"Lingshuang, Shi Xuan will handle the unnecessary matters. You don't have to worry. What you need to do is to help Wentian, and let Ye Kongfan see his true self clearly. I also want to know how Wentian will kill Ye Kongfan." A sharp glint flashed in Ren Huang's eyes. It was as if he had regained the peerless elegance of the past.
Outside the Human Emperor Palace, experts gathered as killing intent towered up into the heavens. The hearts of everyone were pounding violently. Those from the Human Emperor's faction were all worried for the Human Emperor, while those from the Qi King's faction were all laughing coldly in their hearts.
Was the Human Emperor finally at his limit? How could it be so easy for him to fight to the death?
As they thought of this, sinister smiles appeared on their faces. Most probably, the Human Emperor's reign was already over, and the Ye Country was about to change.
…
The Qi King Palace exuded boundless majesty and was heavily guarded. Outside the palace, there was a golden-colored pathway that led to the Qi King Palace. At this moment, a group of silhouettes appeared in the air, their auras towering up into the heavens, exuding a bone-chilling killing intent.
"Who dares to barge into the Qi King Palace?" A cold voice drifted over from the walls of the palace. Duan Han, clad in black, walked out as he coldly snorted, "Ye Kongfan from the Violet Thunder Sect, since you dared to do such a despicable thing, scram the hell out."
"Scram the hell out, scram the hell out …" His voice reverberated through the air, echoing throughout the Qi King Palace, causing the countenances of many in the Qi King Palace to drastically change. There was actually someone so audacious, daring to challenge the prestige of the crown prince.
Ye Kongfan stood at the top of a flight of stairs within the palace, staring into the horizons. How could he go out? If he didn't accuse Duan Han of barging into the Qi King Palace, how could he deal with the disciples of the Battle Sword Sect?
"This isn't a place you can come to. Scram!" Ye Kongfan roared, his voice reverberating through the air, actually clashing with Duan Han's voice.
Duan Han's black eyes flickered with a cold light. How could he not know what Ye Kongfan was thinking? He slowly stepped out as he commanded, "Kill your way in."
"Hold on." A voice drifted over from afar. Duan Han and the rest turned their gazes over, only to see Ye Lingshuang exuding a towering baleful aura. She was clad in armor, exuding a heroic aura as she arrived outside the Qi King Manor not long after.
Ye Lingshuang stood in the air as she roared in rage, "The crown prince of the Qi King, Ye Kongfan, spread rumors and slandered the Holy Maiden of the Medicine Sovereign Valley. He even plotted to kill those from the Eastern Mountain Manor, wanting to harm the foster son of the Human Emperor, Qin Wentian. Right now, the Human Emperor has issued an order to capture Ye Kongfan.
