Boom! Boundless power surged out of the Angel Temple like a waterfall, as it pounced down towards Nie Tian like a primordial beast, intending to kill him.
Standing in place, Nie Tian felt the raging power assaulting his face, and was incomparably shocked.
The disparity between their strengths made it impossible for him to withstand it.
"Monarch, don't!" At this moment of life and death, a low roar rang out, followed by a burst of vigorous power, which formed a net of holy light in the air and enveloped Nie Tian.
Peng! In the next instant, the powerful energy shattered the net of holy light, but it also negated most of the energy.
Nie Tian's figure swayed a little before he managed to stabilize himself. Blood trickled down the corner of his lips, but he was fine.
"Thank you, Principal Zhang." He bowed slightly to express his gratitude to Shengguang Muxue.
It was Shengguang Muxue who had saved his life in that moment of peril.
If not for Shengguang Muxue, he would have been reduced to a pile of bones by now.
The Angel Monarch was one of the strongest existences in the world. How could he possibly stand against her?
"Shengguang Muxue, how dare you stand in my way!" Shengguang Yuyu bellowed with killing intent in his eyes.
The other High Elders were horrified, each and every one of them trembling with fear, not daring to breathe loudly.
As the Angel Monarch, Shengguang Yuyu wielded an unparalleled position in the Angel Tribe. Due to her domineering personality, no one had ever dared to defy her.
For Shengguang Muxue to make a move at such a time, she must be tired of living.
"Please forgive me, Monarch!" Sensing the killing intent in Shengguang Yuyu's eyes, Shengguang Muxue's heart trembled. Kneeling on the floor, she said respectfully, "This subordinate has no intention of offending you, but …"
"But what?" Shengguang Yuyu's face darkened as he asked coldly.
Shengguang Muxue glanced at Nie Tian with a peculiar look in her eyes. "This is no small matter. It concerns the survival of our Angel Tribe, so I hope that you can deal with this matter calmly, Monarch."
"That's why you dared to make a move on me, right?" Shengguang Imperial Universe's face was so dark that it could send chills down one's spine.
"This subordinate dares not!" Shengguang Muxue broke out in cold sweat, not daring to even raise her head.
Whoosh! It was then that Shengguang Yuyu raised his hand, and a crimson gleam appeared. One of Shengguang Muxue's arms had been severed.
Enduring the pain, Shengguang Muxue sealed the blood vessels in her arm without making a sound.
"Shengguang Muxue, this arm is for you to remember," Shengguang Imperial Universe said coldly. "The prestige of the emperor is inviolable!"
"This subordinate will bear that in mind," Shengguang Muxue replied respectfully.
Looking at this scene, no one dared to say a word.
A moment later, Shengguang Yuyu calmed down and raised his hand. "Alright, you can stand up now."
"Thank you, Monarch." Shengguang Muxue heaved a sigh of relief as she slowly got to her feet.
Her arm wasn't severed in vain. Nie Tian's life was basically spared.
"Everyone, what do you think of this matter?" Shengguang Yuyu's face was cold, but there was no longer any killing intent in it. Clearly, she had calmed down. She glanced at the other Greater Elders and asked.
Initially, the Angel Tribe had a Monarch and nine Angel Monarchs, but the Angel Monarchs were abolished and replaced with nine Great Elders.
In truth, the position of the Angel Monarch was the same as the Angel Monarch.
It was just that the current Angel Monarch had a domineering personality, so the position of the nine Great Elders seemed a little weak.
Nevertheless, the Great Elders still held a lot of authority when it came to important matters.
Ninth Elder Chi Zhenxiong stepped forward and said, "Lord Monarch, this matter is of great importance. I think that we should invite the First Elder and the four Laozu's over."
"Ninth Elder is right," the others nodded in agreement. Clearly, they did not dare to voice their opinion.
Shengguang Yuyu pondered for a moment before saying, "Second Elder, invite the First Elder and the other elders. As for the four Laozu's, don't alarm them for the time being."
"Yes," Lan Kesheng replied before leaving the sacred hall.
Watching as Lan Kesheng's silhouette disappeared, Shengguang Yuyu's eyes flashed with a hint of worry. He turned to Shengguang Muxue and said, "Third Brother, it looks like you already have a plan in mind, right? Tell me about it."
Shengguang Muxue was Shengguang Yuyu's younger half-brother. The two of them were geniuses of the Holy Light Clan, but their relationship wasn't too good.
"Lord Monarch." Shengguang Muxue raised her head and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Now that Chi Mo has escaped, the Angel Clan will be in grave danger. Back then, the first God Monarch nearly put his life on the line to seal him in the Angel Gate. Now that he has escaped, he's bound to exact vengeance on the Angel Clan.
"Chi Mo isn't too strong at the moment, but his soul is indestructible. It's impossible for us to kill him.
"This subordinate thinks that since Chi Mo escaped because of Nie Tian, we should hand the responsibility of killing him to him!"
"Hmm?" Shengguang Yuyu frowned. She turned to Nie Tian and sneered coldly, "Do you think that he'll be able to kill Chi Mo?"
"Chi Mo might be powerful, but don't forget that Nie Tian possesses the Eternal Light." Shengguang Muxue raised her head to look at Shengguang Yuyu with determination in her eyes. "This subordinate thinks that there's a reason why the Eternal Light chose Nie Tian.
Furthermore, the Seal of Prophecy in Nie Tian's hands is also something that Chi Mo is interested in. Even if we kill Nie Tian, I'm afraid that we won't be able to destroy the Seal of Prophecy. The most likely possibility is that Chi Mo has absorbed the Seal of Prophecy and grown much stronger.
Shengguang Yuyu's eyes darkened as she pondered over Shengguang Muxue's words.
At a certain moment, her gaze fell on Nie Tian, and she saw the calm look on the latter's face. There wasn't the slightest hint of panic on his face at all.
The fact that Nie Tian was able to maintain his composure in the face of such pressure meant that he possessed a powerful mental fortitude that no ordinary cultivator could match up to.
Everyone thought that talent played an important role in determining whether a cultivator could become an expert or not. However, Shengguang Yuyu knew that a powerful mental fortitude was the key to becoming an expert.
If one's mental fortitude wasn't strong, it didn't matter how talented one was.
"Are we going to place the fate of our Angel Tribe on the shoulders of an outsider?" Shengguang Yuyu was unable to make up her mind.
Chi Mo was a monster that not even the First God Monarchs were able to kill. Given that it had managed to escape, it would surely bring destruction to the Angel Tribe once it matured.
As the current God Monarch, it went without saying that Shengguang Yuyu was responsible for the survival of the Angel Tribe.
But at this moment, she felt a little helpless.
"Can that brat really kill Chi Mo?" Shengguang Yu Yu was still hesitating, unable to make up his mind.
