Chapter 227: On the Brink of Extinction, Madness Reigns!
Chapter 227: On the Brink of Extinction, Madness Reigns!
Rumble!
The sharp sound of air bursting reverberated through the skies above the capital.
And that chilling, icy roar instantly caused a huge stir in the capital!
Who dared to be so bold, to openly address the current emperor within the capital?!
In an instant, all the commoners in the city turned their gazes towards the direction of the imperial palace.
As worry filled their hearts, a thought also emerged.
Something big was about to happen in the capital!
At this moment, within the majestic and solemn imperial palace.
After Emperor Hongyuan's initial shock, he quickly composed himself.
He gripped the Imperial Sword in one hand and took a step forward, instantly striding out of the grand hall.
Boom!
Just then, a radiant beam of light suddenly rushed towards him.
Emperor Hongyuan narrowed his eyes, and with a swift motion, he reached out and firmly grasped the beam of light, stabilizing it.
"Your Majesty."
This sudden beam of light was none other than the man from the flying ship, holding the Great Jin Dynasty's National Guardian Saint!
At this moment, he was thrown out like a rag doll, his aura flickering like a candle in the rain, about to extinguish.
A hint of anger flashed in Emperor Hongyuan's eyes, but he quickly suppressed it.
"Hold on."
He spoke calmly, gently placing the man on the ground.
Then, he looked up towards the sky not far away.
A silver-white flying ship hovered in mid-air, and standing on it was a man in a blue robe, coldly looking down at Emperor Hongyuan below.
"Who are you, and why have you injured the Great Jin Dynasty's National Guardian Saint and trespassed into our imperial palace?"
Emperor Hongyuan asked calmly, showing no sign of anger.
"Tsk."
The man in the blue robe scoffed, then took a step forward, transforming into a beam of light and descending into the Palace of Tranquil Heart. He stood before the dragon throne, where the emperor was seated.
"I am Qingxiao Sect's True Immortal Fuguyun from Wanxiang Mountain."
After speaking, his gaze fell on Emperor Hongyuan, and he shouted with disdain, "Great Jin Emperor, upon seeing this true immortal, why aren't you quickly paying your respects?"
Emperor Hongyuan turned around and looked at True Immortal Fuguyun sitting on the dragon throne, and a moment of silence passed.
After a few breaths, he finally spoke, "True Immortal Fuguyun, you've come from afar. Why didn't you inform us beforehand? We could have prepared a grand feast to welcome you."
Upon hearing this, True Immortal Fuguyun's lips curled slightly, but the disdain in his eyes intensified.
The current emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty was far weaker than the founding Great Ancestor.
This thought flashed through his mind, and he coldly said, "Enough. I'm not in the mood to argue with you."
"I've come here to find someone named Qin Zheng. Do you know who he is?"
After saying this, his voice turned icy, filled with killing intent.
"This person slaughtered the Ask Immortal Sect, which was monitoring the Great Jin Dynasty on behalf of my Qingxiao Sect. He deserves to die!"
"I will make sure he is torn into ten thousand pieces, and his divine soul annihilated!"
When Emperor Hongyuan heard the name 'Qin Zheng', a slight shock rippled through his heart.
Upon hearing the rest of the words, his eyebrows furrowed, and confusion emerged.
The Ask Immortal Sect and the Qingxiao Sect had not interacted for nearly a thousand years.
Nominally, the Ask Immortal Sect was tasked with overseeing the Great Jin Dynasty for the Qingxiao Sect.
However, for the Qingxiao Sect, the Ask Immortal Sect's existence was almost negligible.
Over the past thousand years, conflicts had occurred between the Great Jin Dynasty and the Ask Immortal Sect.
During the time of the Great Ancestor, more than one disciple from the Ask Immortal Sect, sent by the Qingxiao Sect, had been killed.
Why would the Qingxiao Sect suddenly remember the Ask Immortal Sect and send someone to demand accountability?
Countless thoughts flooded Emperor Hongyuan's mind.
True Immortal Fuguyun's eyebrows furrowed, and he coldly shouted, "Are your ears deaf? I asked if you know who Qin Zheng is!"
With this rebuke, anger surged within Emperor Hongyuan.
The Imperial Sword in his hand trembled slightly, as if it would unsheathe and strike at any moment.
Hold on!
A matter of face!
If he couldn't control himself and killed this man, it would be a small matter. But attracting the attention of the Dharmakaya would bring great disaster!
These thoughts flashed through his mind, suppressing his surging anger.
"I don't know."
He turned his gaze towards True Immortal Fuguyun and responded calmly.
Qin Zheng was the most talented martial artist in the Great Jin Dynasty since its establishment, and the most promising human to attain the Dharmakaya.
Regardless, Emperor Hongyuan would never hand Qin Zheng over to them.
True Immortal Fuguyun narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "A dignified ruler of a nation, yet you don't know who slaughtered the Ask Immortal Sect. Do you think I'll believe that?"
Emperor Hongyuan wanted to say something more.
Swish!
Just then, an aged figure appeared, capturing his attention.
"High Sage Gao Wuxing pays his respects to True Immortal Fuguyun of the Qingxiao Sect!"
The old man clasped his hands and bowed respectfully.
Seeing this, True Immortal Fuguyun's anger, which was about to erupt, subsided slightly.
"High Sage Gao Wuxing, of the Gao Clan?"
He looked at the respectful old man, his eyebrows raised, and asked.
High Sage Gao Wuxing shook his head and replied, "The Gao Clan of the Great Jin Dynasty, not the Gao family."
True Immortal Fuguyun waved his moment, the emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty revealed his true intentions. He was seeking to punish Qin Zheng, a talented martial artist, for the slaughter of the Ask Immortal Sect, which had been tasked with overseeing the Great Jin Dynasty on behalf of the Qingxiao Sect. However, Emperor Hongyuan, aware of the conflict between Qin Zheng and the Gao Clan, chose to conceal Qin Zheng's whereabouts to avoid further escalation.
Emperor Hongyuan, who was about to take action, hesitated, looking at Gao Wuxing with a hint of surprise.
True Immortal Fuguyun's face darkened, and he became more difficult to look at, "Are you trying to deceive me too?"
Gao Wuxing shook his head, then said, "I truly don't know who 'Qin Zheng' is."
"But I can help you find this person's whereabouts. After all, according to you, this person annihilated the Ask Immortal Sect."
"Such a big move will surely leave traces, you just need to wait."
After hearing Gao Wuxing's words, Tranquil Daoist's gloomy expression eased slightly, and then he hesitantly asked, "Are you sure?"
Gao Wuxing shook his head.
Tranquil Daoist pondered for a moment, his eyes narrowing in thought.
After a moment, he opened his eyes, and coldly said, "One day."
"I have limited time and can't afford to wait here for someone. If you can't bring this person to me in a day, I'll find them my own way!"
With his last words, a chilling killing intent burst from within him.
Boom! In an instant, thunderous sounds echoed from above.
Emperor Hongyuan remained silent.
Gao Wuxing's voice slowly carried, "Good! Then please wait here for a moment, True Immortal."
"Okay."
Tranquil Daoist nodded in satisfaction.
His gaze shifted to the silent Emperor Hongyuan, then to the Imperial Longsword in his hand.
"When Wang Daoyi rebelled against the Immortal Sect and came to this ruined land, who knows what treasures he dug up."
"This sword of the little emperor, I quite like the look of it, bring it over for me to see."
Gao Wuxing remained silent.
Emperor Hongyuan's eyes turned slightly cold, and without a word, he threw the Imperial Longsword.
Tranquil Daoist's face lit up, and he immediately reached out to catch it.
In that instant, countless whispers of the masses erupted.
"I hope this year will bring good fortune and harmony."
"May there be fewer demons outside the city."
"I want to practice martial arts! I want to slay demons and exorcise evil!"
Various voices echoed, flooding into his consciousness.
Whoosh! At that moment, Tranquil Daoist grabbed the Imperial Longsword.
"What is this thing!"
He exclaimed in surprise, his eyes filled with shock as he looked at the sword.
He quickly composed himself, his face forcing a calm as he turned to Emperor Hongyuan, "Is this the incense vow power Wang Daoyi was drumming up?"
He chuckled, then turned to Emperor Hongyuan, "I've heard that human divine souls can refine spirit essence. I'll take this twelve provinces land and refine the spirit essence, and if it's enough to make me happy, it'll be the human race's good fortune."
Tranquil Daoist's tone was calm.
Emperor Hongyuan's figure slightly stalled, and at that moment, Tranquil Daoist's gaze fell on the distant, mysterious hall.
"That place seems interesting!"
His lips curled slightly, his eyes gleaming with curiosity.
