The moment the Sterile Flame was extinguished, everyone saw a huge black hole forming in front of them. It was as dark as the night.
However, the black hole only lasted for a moment before it disappeared. The surroundings returned to normal. Dutian Yulong, Mu Ui Hui, and the others looked at each other in dismay.
"Now, what do we do?" Mu Ui Hui was suddenly frightened.
When he killed Zhu Que, he was terrified. She was the commander of the Rosefinch Army in the Southern Region. If the Human Emperor knew that Zhu Que had fallen, he would definitely be furious.
However, to Dutian Yulong, it did not matter whether Zhu Que died or not. The most important thing was that Ye Tianze would disappear from this world along with the extinguishing of the Sterile Flame. As for his beloved, she could live on.
"I will go to the Human Emperor's Palace to ask for forgiveness!" Dutian Yulong said. "As for the Demon Clan, you can rest assured. I hope that you can fulfill your promise!"
"Of course." The Demon Clan Magnate finally reacted. However, the corner of his mouth revealed a sly smile.
"Everyone is happy." Mu Ui Hui finally heaved a sigh of relief.
Someone would take the blame and avoid a direct war with the Demon Clan. For the various forces, it was the best of both worlds.
Dou Tian Yulong was the only one who caught the sly grin on this monster magnate's face. He had a bad feeling about this!
Half a month later, the news of Zhu Que's death suddenly spread throughout the Southern Region.
The entire Southern Region was in an uproar. The Rosefinch Army was furious. When they found out that the person who killed Zhu Que was from the Dutian Clan, Qi Shengyu immediately brought people to the Human Emperor's Palace in the Southern Region and demanded that Dutian Yulong be torn apart!
The entire Zhou Tian City gathered at the Human Emperor's Palace. They demanded that Dutian Yulong and those who participated in the assassination of Zhu Que be killed!
People couldn't wait to eat his flesh, drink his blood, and skin him alive!
As expected, Dutian Yulong alone took all the blame. The only power he exposed was Acheron.
This also made the major forces involved in this matter breathe a sigh of relief. The Dutian Clan almost immediately cut ties with Dutian Yulong.
It couldn't be helped. There had been more than a dozen rebellions in the Dutian Clan's territory. Countless Dutian Clan members had mysteriously disappeared.
"Boss is dead!" On the top floor of the Ten Thousand Crowns Building, Lan Yuheng was so angry that his face was trembling. "Damned Dutian Yulong, damned Acheron!!!"
Tang Tianjun and the old man stood to the side, not knowing what to say. They had not expected these people to be so bold that they even dared to kill Zhu Que!
"Young Master Lan, please calm down. They dared to kill Zhu Que. I'm afraid they have orders from above!" The old man said.
"Grandpa, are you saying that it's His Majesty the Human Emperor?" Tang Tianjun's eyes widened.
The old man didn't say anything, but this matter was obvious. Sacrificing Zhu Que in exchange for peace talks between the Demon Clan and the Human Clan.
In this way, everyone would be the ones who would benefit!
Lan Yuheng was also silent. He suddenly got up and walked to the railing on the top floor. He looked down at the majestic city and smiled bitterly. "Boss, you're really a fool. You're as stupid as Zhu Que!"
"Don't worry, you won't die in vain. I can't do anything to His Majesty the Human Emperor, but can't I do anything to those small fries?"
Lan Yuheng clenched his fist, his nails piercing into his palm. "Come, pass my order. From today onwards, cut off all transactions with the Dutian Clan, Muyun Sect, Sect of the God Realm … the Three Sects, Seven Schools, and the Four Great Clans. In addition … find out all of Acheron's strongholds in the Southern Territory. Put a bounty on Acheron's killer. From today onwards, I will be in charge of the Ten Thousand Crowns Building. For every silver-masked killer, I will reward ten thousand spirit coins. For every golden-masked killer, I will reward one hundred thousand spirit coins. For every iron-masked killer, I will reward one million spirit coins. For every purple-masked killer, I will reward one million spirit coins. Whoever can kill Dutian Yulong and bring his head to me, I will give him an immortal weapon!"
Hearing Lan Yuheng's words, the old man beside Tang Tianjun said, "The Futian Clan will always repay kindness. Tianjun, it has been a long time since our Futian Clan hunted, right?"
"Yes, Grandpa!" Tang Tianjun clenched his fist.
"This time, we will hunt down Acheron's killer!" The old man said with a cold expression.
At the same time, somewhere in the Eastern Region, a handsome young man suddenly put down his sword and fell silent when he heard the news.
"Come, pass my order. Hunt down Acheron's killer and the Dutian Clan's disciple at all costs!"
"Young Master, is it worth it to offend Acheron and the Dutian Clan for a dead man?"
"Is it worth it?" The young man thought of that sentence and coldly turned around. "It's not a dead man, it's my big brother!"
In the Human Emperor's Palace, Wu Shenkong clenched his fists. His face trembled slightly. He looked at Dutian Yulong in front of him and wanted nothing more than to slap him into a pulp.
However, the Human Emperor's decree arrived almost immediately after Dutian Yulong entered the Human Emperor's Palace to confess his crimes.
The decree clearly stated that Dutian Yulong was to be escorted to the Imperial Palace for the Human Emperor to deal with personally. No one was to act on their own, or else it would be disrespectful to the Human Emperor!
"Do you think this is the end?" Wu Shenkong looked at Dutian Yulong.
"I am willing to die and end all of this," Dutian Yulong said calmly.
"Die? That's too easy for you. Do you think I can't touch you because of the Human Emperor's decree? "Wu Shenkong looked at him coldly.
With a raise of his hand, Dou Tian Yulong was grabbed. With a boom, Dou Tian Yulong was thrown to the ground, his four limbs shattered.
"His Majesty told me to send you to the Imperial Palace, but he didn't say I couldn't punish you!" Wu Shenkong said.
After doing all of this, Wu Shenkong still wasn't satisfied. He said, "Inform Gao Caiyun that from now on, she will be the temporary commander of the Imperial Guards of the Human Emperor's Palace. She doesn't need to ask for permission to do anything!"
Dutian Yulong's expression turned ugly when he heard this. He obviously knew who Gao Caiyun was. Wu Shenkong directly gave the Imperial Guards of the Human Emperor's Palace to Gao Caiyun. It was obvious that he wanted to make a move on all the major powers, including his Dutian Clan!
At this moment, a middle-aged man standing to the side said, "Hall Master, I'm afraid this is inappropriate. Please reconsider!"
He was the Human Emperor's emissary, Zhao Mingli. "I understand your feelings, Hall Master, but the most important thing right now isn't …"
"The most important thing?" Wu Shenkong turned around and glanced at him coldly. "What could be more important than the assassination of the commander of the Rosefinch Army in the Southern Territory? Tell me! Do you really think the Human Emperor's Palace is a pushover? "
The entire Southern Territory was in turmoil. The major powers had never expected that this matter wouldn't be settled just because Dutian Yulong admitted his guilt.
The sudden drastic action of the Jubao Hall made the Three Sects, Seven Factions, and Four Aristocratic Families suffer greatly. The only titled Aristocratic Family that wasn't implicated was the Dugu Clan.
The Dutian Clan's peripheral forces were almost completely massacred. Every day, the heads of the Dutian Clan's disciples were hung on the city walls of the Capital Sky City.
Acheron was even more miserable. The Human Emperor's Palace and the Jubao Hall didn't dare to make a move openly against the Three Sects, Seven Factions, and Four Aristocratic Families. However, it was different for Acheron.
Acheron's stronghold used to be very secretive. However, at some point, his stronghold had been exposed on the bounty boards in the Southern Territory.
Almost every day, people would bring the heads of Acheron's assassins to the Thousand Crowns Tower to claim their rewards.
