Chapter 733: Chapter 459 The Ancestor Worship Ceremony Cos to a Complete End!_2
Because more often than not, the collapse of a court begins from within.
This was evident from the forr Great Chu, where the gradual decay of the court sapped the confidence of its ministers, ultimately leading to a united uprising against it.
And so, after eight hundred years, Great Chu fell.
“I, the Emperor, rule over thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, command a million-strong army, and have countless powerhouses at my disposal. Could it be that I’m still unable to deal with the re Taoist Divine Palace? If one state is not enough, then let it be thirteen states,
if ten thousand n are not enough, then let it be a hundred thousand, a million n!”
“I, the Emperor…. swear to completely eradicate the Taoist Divine Palace!!!”
Jingtai waved his dragon robe; the robe fluttered, and the skies above the Imperial City roiled with wind and clouds.
“By your command!”
“By your command!”
“By your command!!!”
…
…
Inside the Capital, Qingyun Temple.
The old temple master gently fanned himself with a feather fan and sighed.
“It’s over…”
Indeed, ever since Moluo repelled Gu Tianqiong and Pu Xian Bodhisattva and took away those Taoist masters from the Taoist Divine Palace, this battle had ended, and the repercussions it created were bound to be far-reaching.
The old temple master could even envision the chaos that would ensue when a major upheaval befell the world.
Again, millions of corpses laid to rest, blood flowing for thousands of miles….
He had lived from the ti of the forr Chu and experienced much.
But he did not try to stop it; he even subtly spurred it on.
What were re commoners, in the grand sche of things? How many people truly cared about them?
Death was nothing more than a series of cold numbers.
In not so many years, life would burgeon anew.
“Master, Mr. Wu from outside has requested your presence to look at his son, who seems to have developed so symptoms again,” said a little Taoist boy, hurriedly approaching the old master.
“Then let’s go and have a look,” said the old temple master as he straightened his body and slowly stood up, chuckling.
After all, this battle was over, and there was nothing more to see. What remained was rely the court’s fury, the pursuit of the Taoist Divine Palace, and probably a lot of thunder but little rain, simply reducing the influence on the court.
If they truly could exterminate the Taoist Divine Palace, they would not have sat by and let them leave today.
Outside the Divine Capital City.
In the void, deep demonic qi shaped a gateway, from which the Heavenly Demon Hall’s Hall Master Song Zhilun and Chi Lian Demon Venerable, erged, both looking sowhat weary from the transmission array.
The previous battle had pushed them to their limits, and if not for Chen Yuan’s sudden appearance, they would have already left.
“We pay our respects to the Hall Master.”
“We pay our respects to the Hall Master.”
The two n bowed in salute.
Then, turning their gaze towards Li Kuangxiu, Song Zhilun smiled:
“We pay respects to Shen Wu True Monarch.”
Li Kuangxiu eyed him, said nothing, but turned to Dongfang Sheng and spoke softly,
“I suppose you’ve seen enough of your play, Brother Dongfang.”
“Quite so, it was a marvelous show,” Dongfang Sheng responded with a laugh.
“This uproar at the Divine Palace by the Taoist Divine Palace and the intervention of the Heavenly Demon Hall—these grudges will be noted by the court.”
“That doesn’t matter. We’ve long since torn our faces with them; this little bit hardly makes a difference.”
“Hmph.”
“Today’s ga was hardly satisfying. Next ti…. next ti I shall have a match with Brother Zhen Wu of the Taoist paths.” With that, Dongfang Sheng waved his arm, causing another gateway to form in the void. Song Zhilun and Chi Lian Demon Venerable stepped into it.
He turned and gave Li Kuangxiu a faint smile, then stepped through the portal.
Watching the Transmission Array gradually fade before his eyes, Li Kuangxiu exhaled deeply, his eyes filled with gloom.
If he had been at the Imperial City, today’s situation would not have unfolded as it did. Even if that Asura Daoist were strong, it would have been impossible to face four on his own. Otherwise,
he surely wouldn’t just be at the Yang Transformation Realm level.
Unfortunately, Dongfang Sheng had directly cut off his retreat. Had it co to a fight to the death, facing Dongfang Sheng, ranked fifth on the Supre List, he would’ve hardly stood a chance.
And so, he could only watch as the demonic figures of the Demon Dao caused an uproar in the court.
If he had even a thirty percent chance of victory, he would have fought without a mont’s hesitation!
Within and outside the Capital, countless eyes withdrew their gaze. The great battle had ended, but the ripple effects that would follow were set to cause the greatest shock in nearly a century.
Jianghu was bound to be rocked to its core!
After all, today’s battle had been too exhilarating.
It started with the court holding the ancestral sacrifice, then the ‘Old Ghost’ Yang Huatian made the opening move, creating a stir, and then the other powerhouses took advantage of the mont to break through the grand array of the Imperial City.
They announced the na of the Taoist Divine Palace officially in Jianghu.
The unparalleled Innate Five Elents Array Flag withstanding a True Monarch and eight True Masters.
The White-clothed Sword Immortal, with his Refining God cultivation, stood against Pu Xian Bodhisattva, shattered his defenses, inflicted light injuries, and launched a visual feast, with ten thousand swords unleashed, their might unchallenged.
But the most shocking mont was undoubtedly that of the Taoist Divine Palace’s Asura Daoist.
Simply invincible.
Alone, he withstood two joint True Monarchs in addition to over ten True Masters, killing several easily and gravely wounding two True Monarchs. He even brazenly executed a mber of the Royal Family.
After repelling Heavenly Patrol Bureau’s Great Governor Gu Tianqiong and Pu Xian Bodhisattva, he left unhindered… no one dared to block his path.
As for the Heavenly Demon Hall’s surprise involvent, it was unexpected yet within reason; after all, relations between the two sides had soured long before, and the Heavenly Demon Hall wouldn’t miss such an opportunity.
Though they only assisted, they managed to tie down Shen Wu True Monarch, Li Kuangxiu.
It was a spectacle, no less exhilarating, no less shocking.
Many even believed that the Asura Daoist of the Taoist Divine Palace, by virtue of this battle, had a great possibility of ascending to the top ranks of the Supre List….
And the storm that was about to erupt, would swiftly spread from the mouths of those spectators.
The spies of various major powers stationed in the Capital were also using all ans at their disposal to communicate the outcos of the battle….
