Chapter 864: True or False
Chapter 864: Chapter 864: True or False Looking at the scene before him, Xu Lai felt no ripples in his heart.
He knew that the respect shown by the various Holy Masters was not sincere, most of it was false.
However, it didn’t matter.
As long as he had the power to make them kneel, this respect was truer than real.
Xu Lai didn’t say much, taking Sikong Jiu with him as he left.
After The Supreme Emperor and the tribulation clouds shrouding the East Mountain Sect disappeared, the Holy Masters slowly stood up.
As they exchanged glances, someone finally spoke.
"The Supreme Emperor doesn’t have long to live."
"Having been tainted by Karmic Tribulation, even the Emperor Realm cannot escape."
"..."
Their conversations stopped abruptly at this point, as the topic of the Emperor’s Demise had always been a taboo subject.
A young woman with long white hair suddenly spoke:
"Everyone, did you notice that the Heavenly Dao, damaged by the disappearance of the Samsara Sea, seems to have changed a bit?"
The beings seated atop auspicious clouds were all at least at the peak of the Immortal Venerable boundary.
At this boundary.
They could already sense the will of the Heavenly Dao of the Immortal Domain.
Although the heavenly secrets were currently in chaos, they could still sense a tiny trace.
They were shocked; the damaged part of the Heavenly Dao had already partially recovered. Did this not imply that the Samsara Sea would reappear?
Or.
Would the will of the Heavenly Dao in the Immortal Domain reconstruct a new Samsara Sea?!
But first, it would still require many Immortal Venerables and Quasi-Emperor Realms.
Their hearts were heavy.
The remaining lives.
Who would fill the void?
A dreary atmosphere gradually spread.
The Holy Master of the Zhu Yan Clan and the Holy Master of the Chongming Bird Clan exchanged Divine Senses, preparing to console everyone from the standpoint of an affiliated force of the Heavenly Court.
The white-haired woman who had spoken earlier spoke again:
"I know, each of the Holy Lands is affiliated with different forces of the Great Emperors. The Zhu Yan Clan, Taotie Clan, Chongming Bird Clan, and others side with the Heavenly Court."
"The Puppet Sect, the Saint Ant Clan and Six-Winged Divine Peng Clan, and other Holy Lands follow Great Emperor Jiu Feng."
"Swish swish swish"
A middle-aged strong man with three pairs of wings behind him had eyes like thunder: "What exactly do you want to say, Xu Ruqing of the Primordial Sword Sect from the 96th Domain?"
"My Primordial Sword Sect once followed Emperor Wanyun, and the Chaotic Purple Puppet Clan in the same domain followed Emperor Guihuai."
The Holy Master of the Primordial Sword Sect, Xu Ruqing, said slowly: "Across a hundred epochs and a hundred emperors of the past, unless it touched the bottom line, few Holy Lands have been destroyed. Flowing Emperor Realm, iron Holy Lands, no matter who achieves the Emperor Realm Dao Fruit, they will never completely wipe us out because they need us to govern the Immortal Domain."
The Holy Masters fell silent.
Indeed, if the Immortal Domain were compared to the mortal world’s dynasty, then the various Holy Lands would be akin to secular families and gates with legacies spanning hundreds or even thousands of years.
Although they kneel before the emperor, even the emperor wouldn’t dare to truly harm the Holy Lands.
After all, the Immortal Domain was just too vast, it was simply impossible for one person to completely govern it.
Even if they could kill them all.
Then what?
Other Holy Lands would emerge.
So no matter who attains the Emperor Realm, they need the Holy Lands that have preserved their legacies for several epochs to assist them.
But.
What was Xu Ruqing’s intention in saying this today?
Is it the same as being a dog for the Great Emperor, what right does the Primordial Sword Sect have above the rest of us!
"Great Emperor Tiangui wants to destroy the entire Immortal Domain, for the transcendence of one. Great Emperor Qingfeng... is saving this Immortal Domain."
Xu Ruqing said calmly: "I don’t know what role the Yun Clan that the Primordial Sword Sect follows will play in the coming Epoch of Emperor’s Demise. But as long as Great Emperor Qingfeng remains steadfast, my Primordial Sword Sect is willing to follow The Supreme Emperor to the end, fighting until the last person and the last sword."
"Boom!"
A bronze sword intent soared into the sky.
The Holy Masters changed color with horror, this was a vow!
Someone retorted, "Great Emperor Tiangui has been dead for a long time, for an entire reincarnation, how could he possibly want to destroy the Immortal Domain?"
"Emperor Wanyun is still alive, Great Emperor Jiu Feng is also alive, and other Emperor Realms are alive, why can’t Great Emperor Tiangui be alive?"
Xu Ruqing sneered, "The Emperor Realm who once contested with Great Emperor Tiangui stood alive right in front of you just now, but ridiculously no one could see through him.
I don’t know if you’re playing dumb or truly stupid, but if Great Emperor Qingfeng falls or loses, do you really think you can continue to act as dogs for Great Emperor Tiangui?"
"Utterly foolish."
Xu Ruqing’s gaze was pitying, "Or, you could follow the path The Supreme Emperor has chosen for you, hand over the hostages, then hide like turtles and pray that your future master will continue to reward you with bones."
"Spreading lies to incite trouble!"
One Holy Master trembled with anger.
"Whether it is true or false, we will soon see for ourselves. The problem is that by that time, fate will no longer be in anyone’s control."
Xu Ruqing seemed to be asking others, or perhaps herself: "Or is it that you... don’t care?"
...
...
On the road.
Sikong Jiu frowned, "What a clever little girl, how did she get this news, could it be the intention of Emperor Wanyun?"
"Xu Ruqing."
Xu Lai remembered the name.
He didn’t think that the words were from Wan Yun lying in the Bronze Coffin through Xu Ruqing, but rather that Xu Ruqing had anticipated the future situation of the Immortal Domain in advance.
The Immortal Domain never lacks smart people, and Xu Ruqing was clearly one of them.
"The Supreme Emperor, where do we go next?"
"Back to the Heavenly Court."
"It seems we’re going to be busy next."
Sikong Jiu mumbled softly, it was evident that the matter with the Eastern Immortal Domain couldn’t be hidden, nor did The Supreme Emperor appear to want to hide it.
Moreover, Sikong Jiu knew that The Supreme Emperor had no intention of going to the other three Immortal Domains, and that the Immortal’s Demise in the Eastern Immortal Domain was merely the beginning.
Next.
More will die.
On that day, the Heavenly Court issued a call to the Four Immortal Domains to campaign against the Tian Gui Tribe and Emperor Tiangui Yuan Ying, demanding that each Holy Land send hostages, causing an uproar in the Immortal Domain.
There was anger over sending hostages.
And shock that Great Emperor Tiangui was still alive.
And even more fear that the disappearance of the Samsara Sea and the deficiency of the Heavenly Dao could be repaired with the lives of Immortal Venerables, Quasi-Emperors.
If the previous decree from the ten Holy Lands of the Eastern Immortal Domain only caused a brief disruption in the Four Immortal Domains.
Then the Heavenly Court’s decree thoroughly stirred up a hornet’s nest.
Some agreed.
Some were dissatisfied and wanted to resist.
Then Xu Lai took his sword and went, one Immortal’s Demise after another streaked across the sky, and one Holy Land after another fell to the Qingfeng Sword.
There were many voices of dissent, but they gradually disappeared. It was not that they had changed to righteousness, but they had all died.
"Regrettably, the Heavenly Dao is not fully restored, still lacking."
Xu Lai sat on the steps of the South Heavenly Gate, with neither Baize nor Taotie by his side, only Sikong Jiu.
Sikong Jiu hesitated to speak.
"What is it you want to say, just say it."
"The Supreme Emperor, enough people have died."
"Not enough."
"..."
Sikong Jiu’s scalp tingled.
From the time they left Earth to today, less than two months had passed.
In a mere sixty days, over a hundred Holy Lands and Quasi-Saint Grounds in the Eastern Immortal Domain had been slaughtered. The other three Immortal Domains were even worse, rivers of blood flowed.
Among them, there were seventeen Holy Lands that attempted to resist the Heavenly Court, once home to the Tao lineages of Great Emperors!
