Chapter 991: Chapter 990: Apologizing and Declaring War on Slaying Immortal Sect
Xu Zii’s gaze swept around, then settled on the rulers of the several Imperial Rule Immortal Sects.
With a light chuckle, he said, “Now, how should I dispose of you all?”
“I, for one, am willing to accept punishnt for our misdeeds,” the Heavenly Phoenix Empress stepped forward to speak first.
“Look at you, no one has the courage of even a single woman,” Xu Zii shook his head.
“You clamor about eradicating demonic skills and upholding righteousness, wanting to save the world?
I reckon when a true calamity arrives, you’d probably run faster than anyone else.”
...
Upon hearing these words, everyone shafully lowered their heads, yet no one dared to retort.
“I have only one question now,” Xu Zii said.
“Is it really the so-called ancestral wills in dreams, or so sort of inquiries that descended, which united you all to kill ?”
“It was under the will left by our ancestor, the Great Phoenix Emperor, that we of the Phoenix Ancient Country acted,” replied the Heavenly Phoenix Empress.
“The Great Qian Empire did the sa,” soone nearby continued.
Xu Zii looked at these people; it all seed to be their ancestors’ wills, so it didn’t seem like they were lying.
“Actually, not all forces were against you,” Elder Taia said cautiously.
“At least to my knowledge, among the thirty-six nations of the Northern Continent, only a part entertain such thoughts.
Most nations really don’t care about this matter.”
“The sa is true for the South Continent,” soone else added.
The Imperial Rule Immortal Sects on the Yuan Central Continent are nurous, yet only a small fraction were involved in this incident.
Of course, even if it’s only a fraction of the Imperial Rule Immortal Sects, the number is still in the dozens, an astonishing force.
As for why these emperors would act this way, Xu Zii currently has no way of knowing.
He would have to wait until he goes to the Heaven Beyond Heavens, naturally, he will et them, and then he can ask.
“You may go,” Xu Zii waved his hand, looking at the people.
“Let us go?” Hearing Xu Zii’s words, everyone was stunned, seemingly in disbelief.
“Yes, I’m letting you go,” Xu Zii nodded.
“As for the consequences of this incident, how you will compensate will be up to you.
I give you seven days. After that, you will bear the consequences.”
Xu Zii’s aning was simple: I won’t dictate how you should atone; it’s up to you.
I’ve given you a chance. If after seven days, the way you atone does not satisfy , then there’s no need to discuss the consequences further.
Hearing Xu Zii’s words, everyone knew that it wouldn’t be so easy to end it.
A significant loss was inevitable, but the extent would require their discussion.
In any case, the goal was one: to satisfy Xu Zii.
“Esteed sir, we will surely give you a satisfactory answer in seven days,” replied the Heavenly Phoenix Empress earnestly.
She then led the people of the Phoenix Ancient Country away.
Other powers also began to leave in succession.
As for the loose cultivators who ca to participate, Xu Zii looked towards the Ancient Nether clan, his eyes flashing with murderous intent.
He uttered only the word “Kill,” the intent was clear and simple.
These loose cultivators could not be spared; there must be a blood price, so that so people know to fear.
This also served as a warning to those Imperial Rule Immortal Sects.
The cautionary tale is still there – the bodies of those people are still hanging in the ruins of Hundreds Miles City.
Loose Cultivators are not like Imperial Rule Immortal Sects; the sects cannot run away, their roots are entrenched there.
A sect’s upheavals that span millions of years can’t be easily abandoned.
But if loose cultivators are released, given the vastness of the Yuan Central Continent, they would likely hide quickly.
Moreover, if the Imperial Rule Immortal Sects are moved by their ancestors’ wills to kill him, what motivates these loose cultivators?
Wanting a piece of the pie? Or just to join in the commotion?
From any angle, loose cultivators can neither provide compensation that would move him nor are they easy to manage; they are the best candidates for making an example.
At the command of King Qinyou, the Ancient Nether clansn charged down.
The slaughter began, but Xu Zii’s gaze remained indifferent.
King Qinyou and the Divine Emperor descended from the air.
“It’s been a while,” Xu Zii said with a light chuckle.
“This battle, while it helped , also benefits you.
Whether it’s your Divine Gate or Ancient Nether, all can see the light of day again.”
“Indeed, at least during your era, no one would dare offend,” King Qinyou remarked sentintally.
“As for matters in the future, it’s not for us to deal with. The younger generations all have their own destinies.”
“How much longer can you stay, Divine Emperor?” Xu Zii asked.
The ti that Great Emperors can stay on the Yuan Central Continent is limited. Once it’s up, they are repelled by the continent, forcibly required to ascend.
Previously the Divine Emperor wasn’t affected due to his shattered destiny.
But now that he has appeared, he might have attracted the Great Dao’s attention.
“Don’t worry, I’ll hold off till your destiny is secure,” the Divine Emperor chuckled.
Xu Zii looked up at the horizon, where destiny had already condensed by eighty to ninety percent.
He murmured to himself, “Soon, very soon.”
“By the way, pass on a ssage to the Slaying Immortal Sect for ,” Xu Zii said.
“This incident involves not just the Baili Family but also the Slaying Immortal Sect – they’re the most jubilant.
Tell them to bring the body of their Saint Heir Lu Changgen to apologize, or else I will personally descend upon their Slaying Immortal Sect.
I’ll experience for myself the supposed supre power of the Supre Domain.”
“Slaying Immortal Sect’s bunch are used to being proud; they probably won’t agree,” King Qinyou laughed.
“The Sect has the capital to be proud, having five emperors,” the Divine Emperor snorted coldly.
“But that depends on who they’re dealing with. Tis have changed; it’s not their era anymore.
Even if a Great Emperor descends, they must watch obediently.”
King Qinyou nodded slightly, signaling that he would pass the ssage.
Just then, Lin Ruhu led several Divine Gate people, escorting a middle-aged man over.
Xu Zii took a closer look and saw a disheveled man; he didn’t recognize him at first.
This man was the Patriarch Baili Chengfeng of the Baili Family.
“Zimo brother, several of the Baili Family’s ancestors have died in the recent battle,” said Lin Ruhu with a laugh.
“Only this old thing hid and played dead, and I discovered him.”
“Patriarch Baili behaving like this doesn’t match your reputation,” Xu Zii shook his head, disappointed.
“I rember seeing you full of vigor in the arena, talking about eradicating the demonic skills and defending righteousness, offering the world a pure and clear Great Qian Empire.”
“Young Master Xu, Xiao’er is already dead at your hand, and our Baili Family has been destroyed by you.
Please spare a path of life,” Baili Chengfeng said sowhat raggedly.
“I’ll do whatever you ask of .”
“The Patriarch Baili I rember isn’t like this,” Xu Zii said with a light chuckle.
“There is only one explanation: on the surface, you beg for rcy, clinging desperately to life.
In fact, you’re intent on revenge, aren’t you?”
He laughed and said, “You’re performing quite well, but you can’t hide the hatred in your eyes.”
He was all too familiar with that look.
In his previous life, wasn’t he just like that?
