Zhang Tie's speed was too fast!
Since Zhang Tie killed Meng Shidao in the royal palace of Emperor Xuanyuan Hill, destroyed the Far-ancient Morality Stele in Gobbling Province, wiped out the encampment of demons and two demon armies in the Western Theater of Operations of Taixia Country and finally returned home, demons, Gobbling Party and all the other parties in Taixia Country could barely respond to Zhang Tie.
After the news that Meng Shidao was killed by Zhang Tie in Nine-Heavens Palace spread out, the entire Xuanyuan Hill had entered a state of emergency.
In a split second, the streets of the emperor's imperial city in Xuanyuan Hill became boisterous in heavy rain. All the knights and troops of Zodiac Guards in Xuanyuan Hill were dispatched and started to implement a curfew in Xuanyuan Hill. The top four armies outside Xuanyuan Hill started to enter Xuanyuan Hill. In a split second, the tranquil streets of Xuanyuan Hill were filled with fully-armored fighters and armored vehicles.
Numerous clan disciples, stewards, spokespersons or eyes and ears of major clans across Taixia Country in Xuanyuan Hill had been dispatched to inquire about the details of Nine-Heavens Palace. All the ambassadors and ministers in the embassies of all the continents in Xuanyuan Hill had been dispatched to obtain more detailed details through their own relationships.
Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem Some news from Emperor Xuanyuan's royal palace sounded real and illusory, which made people dumbfounded. It was said that Zhang Tie descended from the sky with a lightning bolt. When Zhang Tie appeared, the entire royal palace seemed to be frozen. All the imperial knights, imperial maids and all the officials and officers in the imperial palace were shocked by a great strength and couldn't speak or move. Zhang Tie just walked into the Nine-Heavens Palace and turned Meng Shidao, the prime minister, into ashes by one punch like stomping an ant.
Meng Shidao the prime minister was a semi-sage knight who might promote to a sage-level knight, not to mention that there were a lot of knight-level powerhouses in the imperial palace. Who could control tens of thousands of powerhouses in Emperor Xuanyuan's imperial palace alone? It sounded like a fairy tale fabricated by a kid. Even though Zhang Tie had promoted to a sage-level knight, he couldn't be so powerful. Such a news was a great challenge to the intelligence and common sense of all the people who heard it.
Many senior guilds, boites and clubs in the emperor's imperial city of Xuanyuan Hill which were tranquil just now had become crowded. In the heavy rain, many luxury cars started to drive out of those deep mansions or embassies and appeared on the streets of Xuanyuan Hill.
After hearing the rumor that Meng Shidao was killed by Zhang Tie, a great number of backbones of Gobbling Party in Xuanyuan Hill, especially a great number of students in Imperial College, gathered outside Emperor Xuanyuan's imperial palace in high spirits and wanted to see Meng Shidao …
In the Mountain of Brightness, an article published by Bai Xiaosheng titled "Immortal Qianji has returned and killed Meng Shidao in Emperor Xuanyuan Hill's imperial palace?" In the blink of an eye, the number of views had already exceeded 100,000 …
Even though Crown Prince Changying had been the governor of Xuanyuan Hill for so many years, it was his first time to encounter such an emergency. Therefore, he was also in a dilemma.
All the officials and military officers of Taixia Country were still gathering in the Nine-Heavens Palace and quarreling fiercely.
"Lord Meng is one of the top three chancellors in Taixia Country. Even if that person is Zhang Tie, Zhang Tie has violated Emperor Xuanyuan Hill's imperial palace and killed the top three chancellors in Nine-Heavens Palace in the public. He's nothing different than a demon. He should be killed. Your Majesty, please announce Zhang Tie's crime at once and assign people to catch Zhang Tie …" Some scholars and imperial censors who joined the Gobbling Party roared hysterically in the palace as they urged Crown Prince Changying to investigate Zhang Tie's responsibility at once.
"Immortal Qianji has disappeared for so many years. His trace is still a mystery. We don't know whether that person is Immortal Qianji or not. He might be disguised by a shadow demon. Even if that person is Immortal Qianji, Immortal Qianji must have his reason to do that. How could he kill Zhang Tie without any reason …" Some generals of the top four armies refuted those imperial censors loudly.
Those imperial censors were not knights. Therefore, they kept shouting to kill Zhang Tie. However, all the real knights in the palace could sense the terror of Zhang Tie's appearance just now. Who could catch Zhang Tie? Who could kill him? If they wanted to arrest Zhang Tie, who would be the next Meng Shidao when Zhang Tie appeared in Nine-Heavens Palace again?
Compared to the quarrel between the imperial scholars and the Martial Emperors, most of the civil and military officials in the hall were silent at this moment. Some of them looked solemn, some of them looked fearful, some of them looked excited, some of them were lost in thought, and some of them were as silent as cicadas in winter, and so on and so forth …
The only thing in common was that these civil and military officials who carried remote-sensing communication devices had already informed the people who had powerful connections with them about what had just happened in the Nine Heavens Palace.
Meng Shidao was killed and Zhang Tie was back. This was a major event that shocked the entire world …
At this moment, Xuanyuan Changying was also in dilemma.
His Majesty didn't know why Zhang Tie appeared in Nine-Heavens Palace; neither did he know what Zhang Tie had experienced over these years. However, he could feel that it was indeed Zhang Tie. Zhang Tie had killed three chancellors of the imperial court in front of him. According to the law, Zhang Tie had already committed a heinous crime. However, could he really arrest Zhang Tie?
If he didn't arrest Zhang Tie, where would the legal system of the imperial court be? How to deal with the Gobbling Party? If he arrested Zhang Tie, it would bring him greater trouble …
Why did Zhang Tie kill Meng Shidao? How did he know that item under Emperor Xuanyuan's imperial palace?
These two questions had been lingering in Xuanyuan Changying's mind, which made him upset.
Since he became the crown prince, Xuanyuan Changying had almost not met such a tricky thing.
"Your Majesty, a lot of members of the Morality Association in Xuanyuan Hill have already gathered outside the imperial palace. They're making trouble. They said … they want to see … the premier …" When Xuanyuan Changying was upset, an armored guard rushed in and reported loudly at the gate of Nine-Heavens Palace.
As for Xuanyuan Changying, this news was like pouring oil on the fire.
When Xuanyuan Changying wanted to have someone pacify those members of the Morality Association outside the imperial palace, namely the members of the Gobbling Party, Xuanyuan Changying suddenly received a message from a remote-sensing finger ring which had not received any message for dozens of years …
All the officials and military officers in the imperial court saw Xuanyuan Changying becoming dumbfounded. After being dumbfounded for 1 minute, Xuanyuan Changying's face blushed abnormally. Closely after that, the crown prince issued an order in a slightly quivering voice, "Pass my order to Zodiac Guards. Arrest all the rebels outside the imperial palace and put them into the prison. Immediately close down the Morality Association of Xuanyuan Hill. Kill all the members of the Morality Association who dare resist!"
All the officials and military officers in the imperial palace were dumbfounded as they didn't know why His Majesty wanted to deal with the Gobbling Party at this moment. Shouldn't he pacify them at this moment?
However, Xuanyuan Changying had not finished his order. After throwing a glance at the dumbfounded officials and military officers in the imperial palace, Xuanyuan Changying directly issued an order to the commanders of the top four armies, "Meng Shidao colluded with the Gobbling Party with demons. The top four armies in all the provinces and prefectures should be dispatched to close down the Morality Association. All the presidents and backbones of the Morality Association in all the provinces, prefectures and cities should be arrested. If anyone dares resist, you can kill him or her regardless of local major clans or sects.
This servant gives you the right to execute first and report later! "In the military of Taixia Country, Zuoqiu Mingyue and the moguls of the top four armies had long complained about the Gobbling Party and Meng Shidao these years. After hearing the order of the crown prince, some armored generals of the top four armies immediately walked out of the ranks of military officers and promised loudly.
"Your Majesty …" Li Yunji the president of the Supreme Court exclaimed.
After throwing a glance at Li Yunji, Xuanyuan Changying pointed at Li Yunji and said coldly, "Take him down!"
…
When the situation was reversed in Nine-Heavens Palace of Emperor Xuanyuan's Imperial Palace, ambassadors from some major countries on Western Continent were gathering in a secret small parlor of a club in the embassy area of Emperor Xuanyuan's Imperial City and exchanging intelligence.
The event that Meng Shidao was killed by Zhang Tie in Nine-Heavens Palace shocked Taixia Country and affected the nerves of all the ambassadors.
All the great changes that happened in Taixia Country would influence the overall situation of the holy war, which was related to the future of all the humans on Eastern Continent and Western Continent. Therefore, these ambassadors had to figure out what happened in Emperor Xuanyuan's Imperial Palace and Nine-Heavens Palace as soon as possible.
Since Bai Xiaosheng's article was published in Mountain of Brightness, these ambassadors had long received the strict order from the highest level of the country.
There were a lot of rumors, which were magical and hard to convince people.
Those ambassadors had different eyes and intelligence sources in Xuanyuan Hill. If they could exchange intelligence with each other, they might figure out the complete truth.
However, after those ambassadors analyzed it together, almost none of them believed in the rumor from the imperial palace. They all believed that Meng Shidao should be dead; however, the one who killed Meng Shidao might not be Zhang Tie.
"Does someone want a coup d 'état in Xuanyuan Hill?"
"If someone wants a coup d 'état, it should be the military of Taixia Country. However, Zuoqiu Mingyue is still in the frontline. It doesn't look like it."
"Perhaps His Majesty has been tired of his current role; however, Meng Shidao has already become an obstacle on his way!" The ambassador of Francia Empire shook the red wine in his glass as he said with narrowed eyes, "We've got news that the relationship between Meng Shidao and His Majesty has long fallen to the freezing point in recent years. As the former master of His Majesty, Meng Shidao couldn't gain His Majesty's trust anymore …"
"If so, that Immortal Qianji might be disguised by His Majesty. There's a sage-level knight in the imperial palace of Taixia Country. It's not difficult for him to do that. The rumor might be exaggerated. It's most probably a conspiracy between His Majesty and the military …" The ambassador of Rhesa Republic nodded with a solemn look. "It's very possible.
If the rumor is true, Zhang Tie's battle force in Nine Heavens Palace has long been unimaginable. I'm afraid that even sage-level knights couldn't resist him. He's definitely a deity. It's absolutely impossible … "The ambassador of Barbarian Alliance said as he raised his chin. Closely after that, he joked," If there's really such a deity-level powerhouse among humans, Zhang Tie should have killed all the demon knights in the Western Theater of Operations of Taixia Country. If possible, he'd better destroy the camp of demons in Military Province. Therefore, apparently, everything that's spread in the imperial palace is a lie, hoho … "
The moment the ambassador of Barbarian Alliance finished his words …
Clatter …
The red wine glass in the hand of the ambassador of Francia Empire fell onto the ground at once. The bright red wine left a deep mark on the expensive camel hair carpet...
All the other ambassadors in the room fixated onto the ambassador of Francia Empire at a stroke.
The ambassador who was talking eloquently just now looked dumbfounded as he widely opened his mouth and widely opened his pupils. After quite a while, the ambassador forcefully swallowed his saliva as he rolled his eyes and watched the ambassador of Barbarian Alliance, saying, "Demons … demons' camp and two corps in Military Province … have just … been destroyed …"
The room became silent …
At this moment, a terrifying aura suddenly came from the direction of the Great Emperor's Imperial Palace. A shadow with powerful Sword Qi suddenly soared into the sky from the Imperial Palace. It instantly turned into a golden light and flew into the distance …
…
"Taiyi Old Man, come out and meet me!" A majestic voice drifted from the air above the mountain gate of Taiyi Fantasy Sect, which reverberated over 600 miles and rocked the earth.
All the knights and disciples in the mountain gate of Taiyi Fantasy Sect were shocked by this voice.
After breaking free from the Gobbling Province, Emperor Xuanyuan didn't return to Xuanyuan Hill immediately; instead, he appeared in the mountain gate of Taiyi Fantasy Sect.
Soon after this voice, the golden light had appeared in the hand of Emperor Xuanyuan. It was the Xuanyuan Sword.
With the sword in hand, Emperor Xuanyuan's qi instantly grew many times more powerful. Closely after that, Emperor Xuanyuan slashed his sword towards the palace of Taiyi Fantasy Sect.
— — The palace of Taiyi Fantasy Sect which had just been built a few years ago collapsed once again …
…
Lord Guangnan's Mansion in the southwest of Taixia Country …
In only half a day, one earth-shaking news after another had arrived, causing the entire country to be in a great turmoil.
Lord Guangnan had to summon his trusted subordinates and counselors to analyze the situation and discuss the countermeasures.
As a princess, Fang Xinyi entered the study room of Lord Guangnan at this moment. Not caring that Lord Guangnan's brothers and some beloved generals were in the study room, Fang Xinyi directly knelt down in front of Lord Guangnan as she kowtowed towards Lord Guangnan with tears all over her face, saying, "Your Highness, please save Qionglou Pavilion this time given that this concubine has served you so faithfully over these years …"
"Sins caused by God could be forgiven, but sins caused by one's own actions couldn't be avoided!" Lord Guangnan let out a sigh as he shook his head, saying, "Even though I have great abilities, I couldn't save Qionglou Pavilion this time. I will save you; however, the future of Qionglou Pavilion is out of my control …"
