Chapter 181 – The Curtains Rise (2/2)

Yang Ye pupils had constricted upon catching sight of these two black dots. Because with his eyesight, he was naturally able to discern what they were. They were people….

If it was just two people, then he would naturally not be shocked. The reason he was shocked was that he noticed these two people were actually striding over through the air!

Being able to stride through the air represented that they were already Exalt Realm experts because only Exalt Realm experts could accomplish this….

It wasn’t just Yang Ye. Numerous Profounders on the square had noticed these two figures, causing the originally slightly clamorous square to immediately quiet down as all of them looked successively towards the sky.

In next to no time, the two of them arrived above the square under the shocked gazes of everyone. The person on the left appeared to be around 40 years of age. He was a luxurious robe, had a handsome appearance, and held a green jade ruler, causing him to seem like a scholar. The person on the right wore white armor, held a broadsword that was white like bone, and he had a cold expression and a gaze that was sharp like a blade, causing others to not dare look him straight in the eye.

“It’s actually Li Si and Bai Qi!” Murong Yao’s expression became solemn as she spoke.

“The Grand Qin Empire’s Prime Minister and the Supreme Commander of the Three Armies?” Yang Ye was surprised, and then he suddenly looked at Li Si who stood on the left and seemed like a scholar. Yang Ye said, “Could that jade ruler in his hand be the Ruler of Righteousness?”

Murong Yao nodded and said, “The Ruler of Righteousness. Ranked at the 4th position on the Dao Artifact Rankings. It contains the energy of righteousness from the heavens and the earth. If he’s at the Imperial Capital, then with the boost from the Karmic Luck of the Empire, even a Monarch Realm expert would have to fear Li Si who holds the Ruler of Righteousness. While he’s at the Imperial Capital, there are probably only a few existences at the Exalt Realm within the southern territory who could be a match for him.

“There’s a ranking for Dao Artifacts?” Yang Ye spoke with bewilderment. Because he’d never heard of such a ranking.

Murong Yao nodded and said, “Every single Dao Artifact can be said to be a precious treasure of the heavens and the earth. Because practically every single one of them possesses inconceivable ability. In the southern territory, there is a Dao Artifact Rankings, and it records the names of all those Dao Artifacts that possess inconceivable might. For example, the Ruler of Righteousness can converge the energy of righteousness in the heavens and the earth. The energy of righteousness is unlike profound energy, and its might is merely inferior to gold element and fire element profound energy!”

Yang Ye was very curious as he asked. “What’s at the 1st position on the Dao Artifact Rankings?”

Murong Yao shook her head and said, “I don’t know. I merely know that the 2nd on the Dao Artifact Rankings is the Mountain and River Seal in the possession of the Grand Qin Empire’s Founding Emperor. The front of the Mountain and River Seal is branded with the landscape of the southern territory while its back is branded with the sun, moon, and stars. As for its might, I’m not aware of it as well. However, I presume that it should be easy for its possessor to destroy a city that can accommodate a million people!”

“Destroy a city that can accommodate a million people….” Yang Ye’s eyelids twitched. Such might….

“I presume you’ve heard about that person on the right as well. He’s Bai Qi, a G.o.d of slaughter that once killed hundreds of thousands of people. His Slaughter Intent has probably arrived at an extremely terrifying realm!” Murong Yao spoke in a low voice.

“Hundreds of thousands of people….” Yang Ye was shocked in his heart, and he said, “He killed them by himself?”

Murong Yao nodded and said, “How could he be called a G.o.d of slaughter if he didn’t? See that broadsword in his hand? It’s made of bones, and there are countless vengeful spirits within it. Fortunately, he didn’t join the Ghost Sect all those years ago, otherwise, countless members of my Sword Sect would have perished at his hands. I should say that besides the Sect Master and that Daoist Zui of legend, not a single member of the Sword Sect is a match for him!”

Yang Ye was just about to say something. However, right at this moment, the Imperial Guards at the borders of the square had suddenly got down on one knee in unison, and then they spoke simultaneously. “Greetings Prime Minister! Greetings Supreme Commander!”

The voices of over 100,000 people resounded in an orderly manner as if they were a single voice, and under the boost of their profound energy, their voices shot directly into the sky. Such an imposing aura caused all the partic.i.p.ating geniuses to be visibly moved.
