Heaven Sword Elder, who had locked himself up for three days, finally opened the door. An unremarkable swordsman stepped into the room, turned around, and closed the door.
"Greetings, Fellow Dao Yi."
The haggard Heaven Sword Elder bowed to the swordsman, and a shadow walked out of the swordsman's body. It was the shadow of Dao Yi.
"It's been a few months since I've come to Tianqi again. It's so much easier." Looking in the direction of the Divine Palace, Dao Yi sighed.
Heaven Sword Elder trembled slightly and sighed bitterly. "Black Soul is dead."
"We know." Dao Yi nodded. "I'm also here for this matter."
"This matter? Heh, "Heaven Sword Elder's face darkened." With Black Soul's death, the situation has collapsed. My Heaven Sword Sect has walked right into the trap. From now on, only the Jin Dynasty will rule. After the Old Man passes away, how can he face the ancestors of the Heaven Sword Sect … "
Dao Yi glanced at the desperate Heaven Sword Elder and smiled. "This situation is still a dead end. The Jin Dynasty can't change the sky."
Heaven Sword Elder was stunned and looked at Dao Yi in disbelief. "What do you mean?"
"No matter what, Shen Shao is dead." Dao Yi smiled faintly. "Without the Divine Emperor, the Jin Dynasty is just a tiger without teeth, at our mercy."
Heaven Sword Elder smiled bitterly. "Maybe you don't know, but in twenty-seven days, Shen Feng will succeed as the Divine Emperor …"
"I know more than you do." Dao Yi looked up at the divine formation above Tianqi City. "The fate of the Central Plains is in a mess, and there are signs of two dragons fighting for a pearl. In a month, Shen Feng will not become a real Divine Emperor."
"Oh?" Heaven Sword Elder's eyes lit up. "How long will it take? Will it be enough for us to kill the gods?"
Dao Yi shook his head. "This is not the point. Even if Shen Feng becomes the Divine Emperor, the Nine States can still maintain the situation. It cannot be unified."
"Fellow Daoist, you're wrong," Elder Heaven Sword retorted solemnly, "The feeling that Shen Feng gives the Old Man is even more terrifying than Shen Shao."
Dao Yi sneered, "That's because you haven't lived long enough. The most powerful people in the world aren't emotionless people, but people with emotions. Xie Tian is a living example."
When he thought of Xie Tian, Heaven Sword Elder suddenly felt a sense of despair in his heart. It was a hopeless situation that was impossible to turn around, but Xie Tian was able to resolve it. How terrifying was that?
"I wonder, what is the key you are talking about?"
For the sake of inheriting the orthodoxy of the Heavenly Sword Sect, the Heavenly Sword Old Man took a deep breath and asked in a serious voice.
Dao Yi looked down at Heaven Sword Elder and said word by word, "I want you to enter the Divine Palace and confirm whether Shenshao is dead or alive."
The Heaven Sword Elder's pupils suddenly shrank. "Shen, Shenshao isn't dead?"
"It's because I'm not sure, that's why I made this trip. Only by confirming that Shenshao is dead can Xie Tian die for sure."
Dao Yi told everyone's guess, which scared the Heaven Sword Elder so much that he broke out in a cold sweat. If his guess was true, the Heavenly Sword Sect would really be finished!
"Rest assured, the Old Man will enter the Divine Palace right away!"
"You just submitted to the Jin dynasty, don't be too conspicuous." Dao Yi sneered, "In this Jin dynasty, there are too many people who want Xie Tian dead. Come closer, I'll teach you a method that can kill two birds with one stone …"
Not long after Dao Yi left, the Heaven Sword Elder did not go to the Divine Palace. Instead, he left the Dao Etiquette Hall alone and headed for the Wang family.
An hour later, three servants of the Wang family went out to the Xie, Wu, and Tian families respectively.
Two hours later, the three family heads went to the Wang family with great fanfare and only left in the middle of the night.
"The four great families, plus the Heaven Sword Elder …"
Inside the hall, Shen Feng put down the jade talisman in his hand and asked in Silence, "What did you find out?"
"Your Highness, the five of them did not have a secret discussion. What they talked about was mourning His Majesty and reprimanding Xie Tian for being heartless and unjust. They even cried in sorrow and missed His Majesty's face, wishing they could see His Majesty again …"
"See His Majesty …" Shen Feng repeated these four words softly, his eyes filled with suspicion, "See Father, what do they want to do …"
Even though Shen Feng was smart, he could not figure it out for a while. However, this did not prevent him from having strong suspicions.
"The four great families have a deep grudge with Xie Tian. Yesterday, they expressed their loyalty to Gu Da, but today, they mourned Father … Hmph, the Heaven Sword Elder!"
Shen Feng's eyes turned cold and he said indifferently, "Summon the first-rank Qi Wuming to the Divine Palace!"
Just as Qi Wuming entered the Divine Palace, the interrogation in the Divine Prison finally came to an end.
Xie Tian sat on the prison chair in Silence, staring blankly. Mo Shaocong and the other three cabinet ministers stood up one after another.
"Xie Tian, we are not surprised by your silence."
Before leaving, Mo Shaocong glanced at Xie Tian and sighed. "But if you do not speak tomorrow, perhaps you will suffer a little."
"What's the situation outside?" Xie Tian lowered his head and asked hoarsely.
"Hmph!"
Hearing this, the three cabinet ministers immediately left in a huff. Mo Shaocong frowned and replied, "You assassinated His Majesty, how can you not know the situation outside?"
Xie Tian raised his head and looked at Mo Shaocong in Silence.
"Tianqi City is still relatively stable, but when I came, the news of His Majesty's sudden death had already spread to all 360 cities …" Mo Shaocong sneered. "In the past three thousand years, this is the first time the Divine Emperor has been assassinated. You can imagine how chaotic the 360 cities are now."
Xie Tian thought for a moment and asked, "What's the Dao Palace doing?"
Hearing this, Mo Shaocong became even more furious. He took a deep breath and said, "The Nine States are doing nothing!"
"Phew …" Hearing this, the worry between Xie Tian's brows dissipated a little, but he was still worried. "The Dao Palace is definitely doing something. Lord Mo, please be more careful …"
"What am I supposed to be careful about?!"
Mo Shaocong could no longer hold back his anger. With a wave of his sleeve, Xie Tian slammed into the cell wall and spat out a mouthful of blood.
"If you did not assassinate His Majesty, the Nine States' God Execution Team would have nothing to fear!" Mo Shaocong's eyes widened in anger. He pointed at Xie Tian and scolded, "Now you are still pretending to be worried about the Jin Dynasty. You, you … hmph, how dare you!"
Clang!
Xie Tian was once again thrown into the cell.
"You did a good deed, but you were misunderstood and beaten up. Are you satisfied now?"
The evil blade trembled as if it was filled with anger.
"How is this a beating? Lord Mo did not have any killing intent when you attacked twice. I could feel it."
"What about Shen Feng's attack? If I did not block it for you, you would have been dead. "
Xie Tian smiled. "I killed his father."
"They both killed their fathers. Shen Wei and Shen Feng? Why did they not attack? "
Xie Tian was silent for a long time. Then, he smiled. "They are not Crown Princes."
"You can tell whether they are Crown Princes or not. Can you tell whether they are people who care about you?"
"How can I not?" Xie Tian lay down and murmured, "I remember everyone who cares about me. Dark Blade, you are ranked quite high …"
"Flattery is useless. I cannot break out of this Divine Prison."
"Why don't you try harder? You helped me break through to Xiantian Realm Level Eleven … "
"Hmph! If not for that, how could I have reached the level of devouring Dao Fruits? "
"Unfortunately, I am missing a Dao Fruit."
"… It doesn't matter. I will help you take down Yan Chen in the future!"
"Really? Are you that powerful? "
"Hmph!"
"Can you help me dissolve the Dao Oath?"
"… Dream on!"
"Since you can't, how about you help me break out of the Divine Prison and help me escape in 26 days?"
"… Let's talk about the Dao Oath!"
…
Heaven Sword Elder left the hall. He looked up at the night sky with a smile and walked out of the palace.
In the hall, Shen Feng's eyes were extremely gloomy.
In the short conversation between the two, Qi Wuming did not reveal anything useful. To Divine Wind, who had a strong desire to control, this was absolutely unacceptable!
"Come!" Shen Feng stood up and shouted after a long time.
"Your Highness, what can I do for you?"
"Please ask Lord Wu Shang to come and …" Shen Feng struggled. He took a deep breath and said fiercely, "Come with me to the ancestral shrine to worship my father!"
