"Welcome to the Heaven and Earth Sleeve Dimension."
Chu Kuangren smiled at the young man in front of him.
It was Chu Kuangren who had placed this Assassin into his Heaven and Earth Sleeve Dimension the moment Ren Ying was attacked.
"Who are you?!"
The young Assassin stared at Chu Kuangren with fear in his eyes. Deep within his eyes, there was also … fear.
Chu Kuangren's methods were unimaginable.
To be able to move a Heavenly Dao Master like him into this strange dimension without anyone noticing, the person must at least be an Immortal.
Against an Immortal, he was defenseless!
"Who sent you to kill Ren Ying?"
Chu Kuangren did not answer but asked instead.
"As an assassin, I will not betray my employer easily," the Assassin said coldly.
"Is that so?"
Chu Kuangren chuckled and slowly opened his palm. A lifelike and beautiful red fire lotus swayed in the air.
He tossed the fire lotus out, and it quickly landed on the assassin's body.
"What … What is this?"
The Assassin's expression changed slightly. He could feel something on his body being burned.
He channeled his energy to resist the flames, but it was futile. The intense pain was constantly assaulting his mind.
The pain of having one's sins burned was not something an ordinary person could endure.
However, Chu Kuangren had the ability to magnify this pain by ten or even a hundred times, making the Assassin wish he was dead.
Not many people would be able to hold their tongues under such torture.
Obviously, this Assassin was the same.
He confessed that the mastermind behind this was sent by a top-notch orthodoxy in the Firmament Star. The reason why they wanted to kill Ren Ying was not just because of her. Instead, they planned to frame another aristocratic family in the empire, the Bai family, after they had killed her.
Whether it was the Ren family or the Bai family, they all had one thing in common.
That was absolute loyalty to the empire!
Someone wanted to instigate a war between the families and plunge the empire into chaos.
"It seems like the empire is unstable internally as well."
Chu Kuangren murmured.
He casually burned the Assassin into ashes and informed Gu Linglong about the matter, asking her to investigate it.
After managing the empire for so many years, Gu Linglong was quite adept at handling such matters. She soon reaped the rewards.
"This time, it is the Heavenly Mirror Orthodoxy that is stirring up trouble. However, the most troublesome thing is not the Heavenly Mirror Orthodoxy, but the extraterrestrial civilization standing behind this orthodoxy … Planet Qiyu!" Gu Linglong said indifferently.
The backbone of the Empire looked at each other in dismay upon hearing her words.
"Planet Seven Plume. This civilization is not to be underestimated. Unlike other civilizations, when this civilization came into contact with us, they surrendered without much of a fight. They did not lose much of their civilization's strength."
"I've heard some rumors. All these years, Seven-Plume Planet has been trying to recruit some of the defeated civilizations to rebel against Firmament Star. I've been sending people to investigate, and I wanted to prepare the evidence and report it to the higher-ups. I didn't expect them to make a move first."
The Chaos Dao Master said coldly.
"Since that's the case, there's no need to say anything else. Just send out your troops and beat them up."
As a fighter in the empire, the Sky Fiend Daolord had always believed that force was the best way to resolve conflicts.
"We can send out our troops, but not now. If we fight now, we might alert the enemy." Gu Linglong said, "Recently, Planet Seven Plume has sent a few emissaries here. Let's meet them first."
"What about the Heavenly Mirror Orthodoxy that assassinated the Ren Clan's daughter?"
"Traitorous. There's no need to keep them alive."
Gu Linglong said coldly.
…
In the Imperial City, a few cultivators were gathered together. The leader of the group was a woman in a long black dress. She had long slender legs and a slim figure.
These people were the emissaries sent by Planet Seven Plume.
"Everyone, I'm sure you've heard about the Heavenly Mirror Orthodoxy."
The woman in the black dress said indifferently.
"Yes, I know."
Everyone nodded with a serious look in their eyes.
"I didn't expect the Firmament Empire to find out about the Heavenly Mirror Orthodoxy so quickly. I wonder if we've been exposed."
"I don't think so. Otherwise, Empress Linglong would have taken action long ago. There's no need to panic.
"Alright."
The woman in the black dress had a cold look in her eyes. "We've come to Firmament Star to assassinate Empress Linglong in the name of offering. If we succeed, the Firmament Empire will be without a leader and will definitely fall into chaos."
"When that time comes, with our combined strength, we can definitely take down the empire and replace it!"
Hearing this, everyone's eyes were filled with excitement and determination.
They all knew.
Coming to assassinate Empress Linglong was a very dangerous task. Whether they succeeded or not, they would most likely die. However, for the sake of Planet Seven Plume, for the glory of their civilization, they would not hesitate!
"In a few days, it'll be time to meet Empress Linglong. Try not to go out for the next few days, and don't talk about anything related to the Heavenly Mirror Orthodoxy," the woman in the black dress said.
"Alright."
"Understood."
Three days later.
The emissaries of Planet Seven Plume arrived at the Imperial Palace to meet Empress Linglong.
Looking at Empress Linglong who sat on the throne and held supreme authority over dozens of galaxies, the woman in the black dress and the others could not help but exclaim.
"Greetings, Your Majesty."
Everyone bowed.
"There's no need to stand on ceremony."
Empress Linglong said indifferently. She looked at the woman in the black dress and the others, her eyes as calm as still water, without the slightest emotion.
On the contrary, the woman in the black dress felt that when the others looked at them, there was a faint hostility in their eyes.
Was it because they were from another civilization?
The woman in the black dress felt a little uneasy.
"Your Majesty, we're here today to represent Planet Seven Plume and offer ten billion Spiritual Marrows and a hundred thousand Immortal Crystals as a token of our sincerity."
Ten billion Spiritual Marrows, especially the hundred thousand Immortal Crystals, was not an easy amount even for a civilization with Immortals. At the very least, Planet Seven Plume appeared to be sincere.
"I thank Planet Seven Plume on behalf of the empire."
Gu Linglong said calmly.
The woman in the black dress looked around. Although everyone was very wary of them, she suddenly felt a little more confident when she thought about the power of the trump card in her hand.
"Your Majesty, apart from the Spiritual Marrows and Immortal Crystals, we have another treasure to offer to the empire," the woman in the black dress said.
"Oh, that's interesting. May I know what treasure it is?"
"Your Majesty, please have a look."
The woman in the black dress took out a white crystal the size of a fist.
The crystal glowed with a faint white immortal glow and had mysterious patterns intertwining with it. It exuded an incredibly powerful space-time force.
"This item is called the Space-Time Crystal. Its greatest function is … to freeze space-time!" the woman in the black dress said.
In the next instant, the white crystal shone with a dazzling white light. A white light barrier spread out and enveloped the entire Imperial Palace.
In an instant, even the Immortals felt an incredibly powerful binding force that made it difficult for them to move!
"Oh no!"
Everyone's expression changed.
At that moment, the woman in the black dress and the others moved. The moment they activated the Space-Time Crystal, they flew toward Empress Linglong.
