Yi Tianyun’s words tore away their hypocritical masks. When they surrounded them earlier, they hadn’t shown an ounce of guilt. On the contrary, they were all eager smiles! Rushing forward so enthusiastically—how could that be called being forced?
He rembered that Lin Hao had never ordered them to co forward. In fact, they had been the ones to rush up eagerly, hoping to stomp all over them. And they called *that* being forced?
Their expressions changed. Realizing it was impossible to leave, they grew angry and shouted, "If you kill us, the Netherworld Empire will flatten your Celestial Extre Mansion!"
"Don’t worry, I’ll be the one flattening the Netherworld Empire. You can wait for them down below!" Yi Tianyun waved his hand casually, and the Black Dragon crushed them. A series of wretched screams followed.
Soon, every Cultivator there was crushed, including all the guards, who were completely annihilated. A massive wave of experience points flooded in. He gained an incredible amount of Sin Value and Proficient Mastery. All the elders of the Divine Rune Mansion could earn a great deal of Proficient Mastery. So of the other Mansion Masters also practiced Forging or Alchemy, making the activation of the Skill Mastery Card extrely beneficial!
He knew these Mansion Masters were all loaded and definitely had so skill. As expected, killing them yielded around five thousand points of Proficient Mastery each, instantly boosting his total Skill Level significantly. At this rate, breaking through to the next level wouldn’t be difficult.
"Ding! Thirtyfold Experience Card has expired..."
"Ding! Twentyfold Experience Card has expired..."
The Experience Cards happened to expire right then, so it wasn’t much of a waste. With so many enemies, he couldn’t use the Star Absorption Technique to drain their experience, which was a bit of a sha.
"Alright, everyone’s been dealt with. Let’s collect their valuables." Seeing that the area was clear, Yi Tianyun turned to the Great Elder and the others, motioning for them to gather the spoils of war.
The items inside their Storage Rings were priceless. There was no way he would let this opportunity slip by.
"Oh, oh, right..." They finally snapped out of their shock. So many powerful Mansion Masters, each stronger than the last, were now just a pile of corpses. The sight was terrifying.
They quickly went to collect the Storage Rings. After looting everything, they brought them all to Yi Tianyun.
Yi Tianyun shook his head and said, "You keep these spoils. Later, choose so loyal deacons and disciples and distribute these resources to them. After all, our Celestial Extre Mansion is in dire need of resources right now."
"This..." The Great Elder hesitated for a mont, then gripped the Storage Ring tightly and nodded firmly. "As the Mansion Master commands!"
Their faces were flushed with excitent. They felt that the future of the Celestial Extre Mansion was full of hope. With such a powerful Mansion Master, what did they have to fear? As for the rak Sect, Yi Tianyun wouldn’t neglect them either. The Storage Ring he had taken from Lin Hao was more than enough.
The Storage Rings from the two ministers, Lin Hao and Cheng Fen, were more than sufficient. The Treasures within them were worth far more than all the treasures from the other Mansion Masters combined.
"Let’s leave this place now. We’ll ride the Black Dragon out together in a mont."
Yi Tianyun led them deeper into the palace toward another exit. Leaving through the main entrance would undoubtedly an running into the remaining guards. He had already killed a good number of them, so theoretically, only a fraction remained. He didn’t need to bother with them.
After leading them to another passage in the palace, they mounted the Black Dragon and swiftly departed. Before leaving, he tossed out the Immortal Fire, setting the entire place ablaze. In an instant, the whole imperial palace was burning.
As they flew swiftly away, Yi Tianyun scanned the surroundings. The mont he spotted any guards in the area, he would imdiately draw his Ice Divine Bow and fire an arrow, killing them instantly!
’I need to silence any witnesses. If the Netherworld Empire finds out, it will create huge trouble for the Celestial Extre Mansion. Although the truth might co out eventually, for now, they won’t be able to trace it back to us.’
’I’ve silenced everyone and used the Immortal Fire to burn the place to ash. Who could possibly know who did it? We just can’t show our faces for a while, or it’ll be trouble. The palace is on fire and Lin Hao is dead; if we suddenly reappear unscathed, it’ll obviously look very suspicious.’
Only when the palace was engulfed in a sea of fire did the guards outside notice and co rushing over. The battle hadn’t been loud enough to attract their attention earlier. The Netherworld Divine Palm was powerful, but Yi Tianyun had shattered it with a single kick, forcibly dispersing its energy, so there hadn’t been any terrifying shockwaves.
"What in the world is going on?" They were stunned by the sight of the flas. They wanted to rush in to check the situation, but the interior was already an inferno, impossible to enter.
As ti passed, the Immortal Fire quickly consud the entire imperial palace, which now resembled a volcano with flas soaring into the sky! The sects that hadn’t traveled far noticed the situation. In fact, everyone in the entire Julong City saw the spectacle.
No one could miss the towering blaze unless they were blind. Everyone could clearly see the sky-high flas, an utterly terrifying sight.
Soon, the Mansion Master of the White Lotus Prefecture and her people ca over to investigate, along with mbers of the Star Pavilion. Less than two hours had passed, so they naturally hadn’t left the city yet. Who would have thought that in such a short ti, the palace would be swallowed by a sea of fire, with flas burning so high it left one dumbfounded.
"This is no ordinary fire. It seems to be a very high-grade fla..." Li Tianlong’s expression was grave as he watched the blaze. "Whoever dared to burn the imperial palace has undoubtedly declared war on the Netherworld Empire..."
"Indeed. I wonder which power is so strong. They were just pacified not long ago, and now soone has co to annihilate them. It seems no one was spared. None of them escaped, so they must have all died inside..." The Mansion Master of the White Lotus Prefecture, Qin Ya, shook her head as her beautiful eyes gazed at the burning flas.
Li Tianlong sighed. "What a pity. Such a young Fourth Grade Divine Rune Master... I’m afraid it will be a long, long ti before another one like him appears."
They took one last deep look at the scene before turning to leave, not lingering any longer. So gloated over the disaster, so felt nothing at all, while others were deeply worried, sensing that the world was about to be plunged into chaos.
So many experts had died in there; so major power must have been involved. They worried that the conflict would sweep over their own sects. Or, if the Netherworld Empire flew into a rage, the entire Celestial Realm Continent might be shaken.
Everyone had their own theories, little knowing that Yi Tianyun alone was responsible for all of it. With just one person, he had shaken everything to its core.
