The Xiao Family and the Upheaval Alliance were, without a doubt, enemies.
For the sake of their own victory, they slaughtered the enemy's soldiers. That was understandable. If you didn't kill them, they'd reach for your neck with their butcher knives.
This was all because of the soldiers who'd fought, but the women and children who were crying piteously for food ….
They were innocent!
Before attacking the Xiao Family, Ye Zichen repeatedly warned the Outsider rulers not to kill the women and children. Even they, the attackers, knew this. Why would Xiao Ting do such a thing?
Before the lightning struck countless children, they had no idea what was going on.
Countless mothers used their arms to protect their children before they died. When the heavenly lightning struck, their eyes were filled with unconcealable despair, as well as deep hatred.
Countless loyal Xiao Family clansmen watched their wives and children die.
His eyes were bloodshot, and he ignored the difference in their cultivation levels. His eyes were so red they looked like they were about to bleed. He raised his weapon and charged at Xiao Ting, only to be struck by a bolt of heavenly lightning.
It was like a rain of blood had descended upon the Xiao Family's outer sect.
Countless corpses fell from the sky. Blood rained down, forming a river of blood. The air was thick with the stench of blood. It was as if everyone in Heavenly God City could smell it.
The inner sect clansmen clenched their fists. The elders standing by Xiao Ting's side didn't dare look directly at what was happening.
Ye Zichen watched everything in silence. It was like a ball of fire was burning in his chest. The flames burned his chest, and his anger made his body tremble violently. His skin was also burned red by the fire on his chest.
He could no longer turn a blind eye. Even though everyone who died was a member of the Xiao Family and had nothing to do with him, he couldn't remain silent. Little did he know, one of the Outsider rulers couldn't bear to watch any longer. With a wave of his hand, he created a barrier of divine power in front of the dying women and children. The other rulers followed suit. Yang Jian and the Great Sage glared viciously at Xiao Ting, their eyes brimming with undisguisable malice.
。
"Xiao Ting!"
Ye Zichen, who was about to leave the Xiao Family estate, suddenly took a step forward. His fury made his expression ferocious.
Up in the sky, Xiao Ting silently stopped, a cold smile in his eyes.
"What's going on? This emperor is killing my own underlings. Could it be that Alliance Master Ye is not going to let me? Could it be that the deaths of these people made Alliance Leader Ye feel pity for them? If that's the case, then you're being too kind! "
"What the hell do you want!"
Ye Zichen gnashed his teeth and squeezed the words out. With a rumble, the Yao-Sealing Pagoda appeared in the Xiao Family grounds. Ye Zichen collected all the despairing women and children into the pagoda.
No one tried to stop him. Not even the husbands and fathers of the women and children who hadn't been killed by the heavenly lightning showed the slightest reluctance. In fact, they even felt gratitude towards Ye Zichen.
"What do you mean, Alliance Leader Ye?"
Lightning crackled around the Lightning Emperor's scepter. Xiao Ting furrowed his brows and looked at the towering tower. He watched as it sucked in his clansmen, who were like slaughtered chickens to him. He was displeased. "These are all members of my Xiao Family. Alliance Leader Ye, you initiated a battle at the Lightning Emperor's estate and left it in ruins. I didn't even attack your subordinates. All I did was kill a few cripples to vent my anger. Does Alliance Leader Ye really want to interfere? Don't you think you're stretching your hands a bit too far? When the time comes, I'll report this to the God Emperor.
Alliance Leader Ye, what should you do? "
"How laughable."
Xiao Ting's words made Ye Zichen laugh despite himself. Things had already reached this point, yet he still addressed Zhou Wu as the God Emperor? When he mentioned the God Emperor, he even turned to the God Emperor's estate and cupped his hands.
He really was an experienced actor. His acting skills were ingrained in his bones.
"Do you still care about Zhou Wu?"
"Alliance Leader Ye, what are you saying? The God Emperor is the leader of the Nine Mountains of the God Realm. You and I live beneath Heavenly God City's Divine Capital. We're the God Emperor's benefactors. Although I'm the Lightning Emperor, how could I possibly not care about the God Emperor? "
The Lightning Emperor stood majestically in the sky, his entire body radiating a majestic aura of righteousness.
"Well said."
Suddenly, the crisp sound of applause echoed through the sky. Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a black-robed woman emerge from the black mist.
She seemed to be moving slowly, but in the blink of an eye, she'd crossed the distance of tens of thousands of meters and arrived before Xiao Ting.
Everyone who stood in the air, including the cultivators from the other powers who were paying attention to this place, without exception, could tell that this newcomer was an expert from the Devil Clan.
Ye Zichen was even more familiar with this figure.
The Holy Maiden of the Nine Li!
Whether it was the Upheaval Alliance, the Xiao Family, or the various factions outside, they were all focused on the Holy Maiden.
To everyone's astonishment, the instant Xiao Ting saw the Holy Maiden, he laid the scepter flat on the ground, then prostrated himself before her like a dog. He lowered his head and kissed her feet.
After that, he raised his head with incomparable sincerity and raised his hands above his head.
"Holy Maiden!"
In the blink of an eye, practically all of Heavenly God City fell silent.
The head of the Xiao Family, who was in charge of tribulation lightning, was second only to the God Emperor, the Lightning Emperor. Now, he was kneeling before a demon like a tamed dog.
The Xiao Family's inner sect members and elders hung their heads in shame. To them ….
This was a disgrace!
"Good boy." The Holy Maiden patted Xiao Ting's head lovingly, as if he were a puppy. At the same time, she took out a package wrapped in tinfoil and handed it to him. "This is your reward."
"Thank you, Holy Maiden."
Xiao Ting knelt in the sky as if he'd just received a precious treasure. He carefully accepted the package.
"Alright, you're the Lightning Emperor, after all. I have to give you some face. Don't kneel on the ground. Get up."
At the Holy Maiden's signal, he rose to his feet.
"What you said just now was …."
"Holy Maiden, don't overthink it. I was just being polite. Who does Zhou Wu think he is? In my eyes, you're the one I should be loyal to, "said the Lightning Emperor with an apologetic smile.
"Is that so?"
The Holy Maiden glanced around casually. When they sensed her gaze and heard Xiao Ting's words, it wasn't just the Xiao Family; even the vassal clans of Heavenly God City and the other factions felt their faces burn.
The Lightning Emperor had betrayed the God Race and become someone else's dog!
