The news of Xie Tian's assassination of the Divine Emperor and Shen Shao's sudden death had silenced the entire Tianqi City.
The silence was eerie and frightening. Perhaps the next moment, the madness and chaos that had been suppressed by this fragile silence would erupt and cause the entire city to collapse.
Even Wu Shang at full strength would not be able to suppress this kind of collapse, let alone the ten million Imperial Guards.
The four cabinet ministers led by Mo Shaocong and the six ministers had not slept for two whole days. They nervously observed the movements in Tianqi City, not letting go of any trace of abnormality.
Although nothing unusual had happened, the ministers were even more alarmed.
"How could the Holy Zhi Palace and the other holy lands not have sensed His Majesty's death? Why is there no movement in the past two days …"
"We've miscalculated. They want us to fall into chaos first. We can't let this continue!"
…
After some discussion, the ministers finally decided to throw out a stabilizing force.
"Twenty-eight days later, bury the late Emperor and pray to the heavens for the new Emperor's ascension!"
The moment they received this decree, the Ten Great Clans finally reacted.
"Bury the late Emperor …" Evil Crown's eyes lit up. He could not help but say excitedly, "To bury the late Emperor, we must first kill Xie Tian. Xie Tian is dead for sure!"
Just like Evil Crown, Wang Lang, the head of the Wang Family, and Tian Bo, the head of the Tian Family, were also flushed with excitement.
The trip to the Ancient Battlefield and the successful rescue of Wu Shang, as well as the heaven-defying abilities that Xie Tian had displayed, almost made the three of them despair.
That was not all. After Xie Tian's return, the three of them saw how much importance Shen Feng placed on Xie Tian.
Not to mention Shen Shao, who would only abdicate in six years, the next two hundred years that Shen Feng would have as the Divine Emperor was enough for Xie Tian to grow to the point where he could crush the three clans!
Therefore, the three clans all closed their clan grounds, especially the young masters of the younger generation. They were not allowed to leave their clan grounds and provoke Xie Tian.
The three Patriarchs also kept a low profile, not daring to attend the welcoming banquet. During the Heaven Sword Sect's submission ceremony, they also tried to hide as much as possible, not daring to meet Xie Tian face to face.
But they never expected Xie Tian to assassinate the Emperor God!
And he succeeded!
Xie Tian's unexpected action caused the three patriarchs to be dumbfounded for two days. pbx.m
In the past two days, they did not dare to be happy, because Xie Tian's previous performance made them not dare to believe that this matter was so simple. How could Xie Tian seek his own death?
But now, with Emperor Zang Shen's decree, their hearts that were hanging in their throats were finally at ease. If the murderer didn't die, Emperor Zang Shen would never be buried in the Shen Clan's ancestral mausoleum!
"Come, let's enter the God Palace!"
The three family heads, who were extremely excited, went to the Divine Palace at the same time. They looked at each other outside the Divine Palace, smiled evilly, and stepped into the Divine Palace.
The purpose of their trip was to use their loyalty to the new Emperor, Shen Feng, to make sure that Xie Tian was dead!
At the same time, the Hong family was in chaos.
"It's over …"
After receiving the decree, the Lonely Spirit Granny's crutch fell to the ground. Her face turned pale, and she stumbled into the chair.
It had been two days since the Lonely Spirit Granny and Hong Ren left the Divine Palace and returned to the clan. In these two days, the Hong family members' faces were full of fear and shock.
Until now, they still did not believe that Xie Tian would assassinate the Emperor God, and that the Emperor God would die.
"How could it be …" Hong Yong pulled his hair in pain.
"What's the use of saying this now?" Hong Ren forced herself to be calm. "No one can save Xie Tian."
Hong Yi sobbed, "I believe him. He would never assassinate His Majesty. There must be a big secret behind this."
"That's right." The Lonely Spirit Granny sighed, "Everyone knows this, but this is not the point. The point is that His Majesty is dead."
This was the most fundamental problem. No matter what reason Xie Tian had, he had to pay for Shen Shao's death, even if he was extremely important to the Jin Dynasty!
"Will they kill Xie Tian even if they can't find out the reason?" Hong Yi's heart trembled, and tears flowed down her cheeks.
Thinking of Xie Tian's silence in the Imperial Garden, the Lonely Spirit Granny smiled sadly, "Even if we use all means, Xie Tian will not tell us."
"Great-grandmother, why?"
"I don't know."
"Can't they find out the reason before killing Xie Tian!" Hong Yong roared.
The Lonely Spirit Granny's face froze. She stood up and walked out resolutely, "Yong 'er is right. If the reason for the assassination of His Majesty is not found out, Xie Tian must not die. I don't believe that Xie Tian is such a heartless person!"
Other than the Lonely Spirit Granny, Zhang Boyi, the family head of the Zhang family, who ranked last among the Ten Great Families, followed Xie Guan and the others into the palace.
What was most surprising was the movement of the Wu family.
Now the Wu family was facing a situation where the Guest Elder Xie Tian, whom Wu Ling had high hopes for, would be executed in 28 days before he even stepped into the Wu family's territory.
In addition, he had personally killed Wu Sha, who was comparable to the Ten Great Spiritual Bodies …
Therefore, at this moment, Wu Ling, who had suffered a double loss, was so regretful that he wanted to vomit blood.
"Preposterous!" Wu Ling fiercely smashed the tables in front of him into powder. He gritted his teeth and roared, "Instead of being the number one genius of the Nine Prefectures, you assassinated the Emperor God! You are courting death! "
The Wu family's meeting hall was dead silent. Their feelings were almost the same as Wu Ling's. They hated and were angry at Xie Tian.
Wu Fei frowned and said, "Family Head, the imperial court has issued a decree. Before the Emperor God is buried, Xie Tian will definitely be executed. We …"
"We what?" Wu Ling looked at Wu Fei coldly, "Are you coveting Xie Tian?"
Wu Fei shook his head with a bitter smile, "The Crown Prince will be the Emperor God in a month. It's time for us to express our stance."
"Hmph, at least you have some brains." Wu Ling snorted angrily. His eyes flickered and he said, "The Crown Prince valued Xie Tian so much, but Xie Tian killed his father. His heart hurt the most, so he should show his loyalty to the new Emperor. Unfortunately …"
Unfortunately what?
Unfortunately, because of the Wu family's Martial Disciples, they were very close to Xie Tian. The Wu family, who valued their reputation, did not have the face to enter the God Palace to show their loyalty!
For a moment, everyone in the meeting hall looked at the Martial Disciples with complicated expressions.
"Hmph, unable to accomplish anything, but more than enough to spoil things!"
"If Xie Tian had entered our Wu Clan earlier, he wouldn't have done such a disgraceful thing under the influence of our Wu Clan's traditions!"
"The dignified Second Young Master of the Wu family befriended such a heartless person …"
…
"Enough!"
Seeing that the Martial Disciples were expressionless, Wu Ling shouted. After all, as a Martial Disciple with the Five Elements Innate Body, he was the Wu family's most outstanding talent.
"Martial Disciples are forbidden to leave the family grounds. Otherwise, they will be chased out of the family!" Wu Ling stood up and walked out of the hall. He said coldly, "For the sake of the Wu family, the Old Man does not care about his old face anymore. I will enter the palace to see the new Emperor and cut all ties with Xie Tian!"
The clansmen left one by one. In the deserted meeting hall, there was only the Martial Disciple.
At this moment, the Martial Disciple's face finally had some expression.
Confusion and cold laughter.
He was confused about Xie Tian's actions and laughed coldly at the family's shamelessness.
"Such a family, it doesn't matter if I have one more, heh …"
The Martial Disciple stood up and left the meeting hall. He went straight to the Wu family's ancestral hall.
The effect of the Godly Sea Steadying Needle had finally brought some life to the deathly silent Tianqi City. All the officials heaved a sigh of relief. However, this Godly Sea Steadying Needle did not penetrate the God Palace.
Therefore, the harem of the God Palace was still bleak.
Shen Shao's wife, Hong Mei, the current Jin Dynasty's God Empress, who hugged Shen Ji and fainted countless times. Her eyes were bloodshot. She knelt to the side, dejected.
"I still don't believe that Xie Tian would assassinate Father!" Shen Wei gritted his teeth and said.
God? Looking at the heartbroken mother, he stood up and said coldly, "Let's go."
"To where?"
"To the God Prison!"
Watching her two brothers leave, the confused Shen Ji rubbed her red and swollen eyes and gently pushed Hong Mei.
"My poor Ji 'er …"
"Mother, Father, Imperial Father seems to have changed, changed …"
