"That's right. Imperial Protector, you have indeed contributed a lot to the empire in the past few years. You have made great contributions," Emperor Xi nodded. He did not deny that.
The Imperial Protector of the Xi empire eased up when he heard that. He thought that Emperor Xi was going to let him off.
However, at this moment, Emperor Xi's voice suddenly became cold. Extremely cold killing intent radiated from him, causing the surroundings to change. All the birds and beasts in the surroundings fell silent. They all trembled on the ground.
"However, no matter how great your achievements are, they are far from being able to make up for what I've lost, nor are they able to make up for the eternal pain in my heart. Only by eliminating all those who participated in the pursuit of my life in the past would I be able to vent the hatred in my heart," said Xi Yu coldly. Her icy cold voice carried unconcealable pain.
"Xi Ziyun, the two of you were hunted down. Although you encountered danger, didn't you return to the empire unscathed in the end? You say you've lost something. What did you lose? Even if you lost extremely precious treasures during the hunt, you've already executed so many people in the past few years. Is that not enough to make up for it? "
"Xi Ziyun, although the Old Man took part in the matter in the past, he did not hunt you down. He only secretly hindered you and prevented you from returning home. Even if the Old Man was at fault, it doesn't warrant death. The Old Man is willing to make up for it," the Imperial Protector said rather frantically. He did his best to convince Emperor Xi. This was because he did not even have the ability to flee before the current Emperor Xi.
Although they were both Primordial realm experts, the difference between Infinite Primes and Chaotic Primes was just too great. It was like a chasm.
"Hahahahaha …" Emperor Xi laughed aloud. There was some madness in his voice as he said, "You blocked my path back home, you blocked my path back home. Imperial Protector, if you hadn't secretly hindered me and blocked my path back home, how would things have developed to such a degree today?"
"If you hadn't blocked my path back home, how would I have become so crazy today? I would have personally killed so many subjects, senior members, and even my own brothers."
"Imperial Protector, do you know who I hate the most in Yunxin? It's not the people who tried to hunt me down in the past, but the people who blocked my path back home. They deserve to die. "
When he said that, Emperor Xi's voice became extremely cold. He basically gritted his teeth as he said that. He could no longer hold back his fury, and he directly sent a palm strike towards the Imperial Protector.
Emperor Xi had struck out furiously, using his cultivation as a Chaotic Prime. With a single palm strike, the laws of the world fell silent. Origin energy stopped flowing, and the laws of the world were disturbed. Space shook violently, almost ripping apart.
The palm strike was extraordinarily powerful. It was truly devastating. If it were not for the fact that the Xi Emperor had purposefully held back, the terrifying energy would have destroyed the entire region before the palm strike had even been unleashed.
Naturally, the Imperial Protector would not just sit there and wait for death. With a furious roar, a set of god artifact armor appeared on him, radiating with terrifying pulses of energy. At the same time, he wielded a violet-gold horsetail whisk. Terrifying pulses of energy erupted like a volcano as he used all his strength to fend off Emperor Xi's palm strike.
The Imperial Protector was extremely powerful as well. He also erupted with devastating power as soon as he struck out. If it were not for the fact that the Godsfallen clan had cast down layers upon layers of defensive formations, the mountains would probably have been destroyed by the Imperial Protector's strike.
After all, he was not as powerful as Emperor Xi. When Emperor Xi struck out, he controlled his energy extremely well, injuring the enemy without affecting the surroundings.
However, when the Imperial Protector faced Emperor Xi's attack, he naturally did not hold back at all. He used his full strength right from the start.
The difference in strength between the two of them was just too great. After knocking away the Imperial Protector's horsetail whisk, Emperor Xi struck the god artifact armor on the Imperial Protector with great force.
The armor that had reached the level of god artifacts immediately dimmed. Blood sprayed from the mouth of the Imperial Protector as his face paled.
"Speak. Apart from the people I've eliminated, who else took part in the matter of the past?" Emperor Xi stared coldly at the Imperial Protector emotionlessly. A powerful killing intent enveloped the Imperial Protector. He showed no sympathy at all.
Back then, he had been hunted down to the ends of the earth. He had fled across the entire Cloud Plane. He did not even know the identities of many of his pursuers. Although he had found some of them and mercilessly executed them, there were still some people who hid very well.
"Xi Ziyun, just what made you become so vicious and heartless?" The Imperial Protector said unwillingly. Looking at Xi Zi Yun in front of him, he couldn't reconcile the calm and indifferent Crown Prince Zi Yun who didn't care for fame or fortune with anyone else.
"Since you won't speak, don't blame me for being heartless. Once we return to the palace, I have plenty of ways to make you speak." A sliver of viciousness appeared in Emperor Xi's eyes. He bound the Imperial Protector and lifted the Imperial Protector up like a dead dog before silently vanishing. He had already left.
"Is this a Chaotic Prime? He's actually so terrifying. " Jianchen had yet to return to his senses after Emperor Xi's departure. He stared blankly in the direction that Emperor Xi had vanished in.
This was the first time he had come into contact with a Chaotic Prime so closely. He was shocked. He had never been so shocked before.
When Emperor Xi struck out earlier, not only did he feel like he was suffocating, but even his heart had stopped beating. He was unable to move at all.
It was as if his entire body had been bound by an invisible force.
Emperor Xi's strength was just too terrifying. Even though he did not target Jianchen, he still made Jianchen feel how insignificant he was.
"I never thought that Emperor Xi would actually lay his hands on the Imperial Protector of the Xi dynasty this time. Sigh, the Imperial Protector is an important minister of the Xi dynasty. I wonder what Emperor Xi lost during his pursuit in the past for him to become so insane, even killing the Imperial Protector, "Tian Shuang said sternly.
"This is a matter of the Xi clan. It has nothing to do with us. Let's go back first." Fairy Haoyue said calmly. With a wave of her hand, she enveloped Jianchen with Moonlight Force and left with Jianchen.
Before long, Jianchen returned to the Xuandao Dynasty. Due to his relationship with Fairy Haoyue, Jianchen possessed a rather special status in the Xuandao Dynasty. The emperor personally bestowed upon him a hall for Jianchen to rest in.
Jianchen settled down temporarily in the imperial palace of the Xuandao Dynasty. However, he was unable to relax at all. He was filled with anxiety, locking himself up in the hall all day long as he racked his brains for a way to leave the northern region. He was extremely worried about the safety of Seiyu and the others.
Jianchen did not take a single step out of the imperial palace for several days.
However, no matter how hard Jianchen racked his brains, he failed to come up with a feasible plan. In the end, he concluded that unless Emperor Xi removed the seal on the northern region, it would be impossible for him to leave.
Jianchen had mentioned finding Emperor Xi directly, but as soon as he mentioned it, Tian Shuang rejected the idea. This was because the chances were even slimmer than using the teleportation formation of the Godsfallen clan.
Just as Jianchen was feeling uneasy, Fairy Haoyue arrived in his hall. She sighed gently when she saw how worried Jianchen was. She said, "This is my fault. I shouldn't have brought you to the northern region."
"Fairy Haoyue, you can't say that. If it weren't for you, I would be dead already. I might not even be alive right now. I can only hope that Emperor Xi removes the seal on the northern region soon, "said Jianchen.
"Emperor Xi's seal on the northern region will probably last for a while longer. I've just received news that Emperor Xi has already gone to the Skyrend Sect, one of the peak sects of the Xi dynasty. He wants the Skyrend Sect to hand over two of their great elders. "
"The Skyrend Sect is one of the four peak organisations of the Xi dynasty. Their great elders are all Infinite Primes, and they have an even more powerful ancestor."
"There are only three great elders in the entire Skyrend Sect. Emperor Xi wants the Skyrend Sect to hand over two of them, so the Skyrend Sect naturally won't agree. Now, the Skyrend Sect has already sealed off its entrance and is in a stalemate with Emperor Xi. Even the ancestor of the Skyrend Sect has come forward, but Emperor Xi refuses to budge. There probably won't be an outcome anytime soon. "
Fairy Haoyue said.
Jianchen frowned heavily. The Skyrend Sect was a peak organisation in an eternal empire. They were definitely more powerful than the Xuandao Dynasty. Even the Xuandao Dynasty possessed a teleportation formation, so it was obviously impossible for the Skyrend Sect to not have one.
However, if the situation continued like this, wouldn't Emperor Xi keep the northern region sealed until the Skyrend Sect handed over the two great elders in order to prevent them from escaping through the teleportation formation?
Just how long would he be trapped like that?
