Chapter 442 – The Mortal Emperor Sword! (2/2)

Li Si shook his head and said, “The more it’s like that, the more uneasy I feel. Qian Huagu isn’t an idiot. Since she dared to bait our Grand Qin Empire to attack, then they’re probably scheming against our empire. Moreover, they seem extremely steady like a rock even when the army of my empire has pressed down onto their borders, and the entire Flower Palace doesn’t show a single trace of disorder. I presume that they wish for nothing more than to see us attack them!”

“Prime Minister, we can’t just stay here idly as well!” said another one of the officers.

“Indeed!” Bai Qi spoke in agreement.

Li Si shook his head and said, “Of course we won’t. If I’m not wrong, then w.a.n.g Jian who’s besieging the Brightmoon Sect should be on the verge of capturing it, right?”

Right at this moment, a wave of spatial fluctuation arose here, and then a voice arose from there — “Prime Minister, there’s a change in the situation. Marquis w.a.n.g Jian and all the forces he led to the Brightmoon Sect were annihilated, and the cause of their death is unknown. I’ve sent scouts but none have returned!”

The expressions of everyone within the hall changed upon hearing this!

After all, w.a.n.g Jian was a first rank Monarch Realm expert, and he’d even taken over 20 Exalt Realm experts and 20,000 plus troops with him! So, how could the Brightmoon Sect possibly annihilate them? Moreover, not a single one of them had been able to escape! After all, the Brightmoon Sect only possessed a single Monarch Realm expert and over 10 Exalt Realm experts!

Bang!

Right at this moment, an enormous bang suddenly resounded from the outside. At practically the exact same instant that the explosion resounded, both Li Si and Bai Qi vanished on the spot and appeared in the sky above Tiger Cloud City.

In their fields of vision, an area of a few hundred kilometers had been transformed into ruins!

It’s a Monarch Realm expert!Both of them exchanged glances, and there was a solemn gaze in both their eyes. Because this expert had actually been able to avoid their Divine Sense and arrive at Tiger Cloud City without making a single sound. In other words, that person’s strength was definitely above their own!

Bang!

Suddenly, their pupils constricted, and then their figures flickered and instantly vanished on the spot. Right after the two of them vanished, an enormous palm that was over 1km wide had appeared out of thin air and slapped down onto that expanse of s.p.a.ce which they resided at just now. That expanse of s.p.a.ce rumbled and exploded into pieces to reveal a pitch black and enormous hole, and it was only repaired by the energy of the Laws after a few breaths of time pa.s.sed.

“Eh? The two of you were actually able to avoid my attack? I never expected that such Monarch Realm experts existed in the southern territory!” Along with this voice, an old man who wore an embroidered robe had appeared in midair and met the gazes of Li Si and Bai Qi.

He’s at least at the third rank of the Monarch Realm!

Li Si and Bai Qi’s hearts shook while their expressions turned solemn.

“You’re not a profounder from the southern territory!” Li Si spoke with a heavy voice while a white ruler appeared in his hand.

“How discerning of you!” The old man laughed coldly and said, “I’m an Honorary Elder of the Exalted Han Empire in the central territory, and my name is Situ Hai.”

The Exalted Han Empire!

Li Si and Bai Qi’s expressions changed, and then Li Si said in a heavy voice, “There doesn’t seem to be any conflict or enmity between my Grand Qin Empire and the Exalted Han Empire, right? So why have you come to the southern territory and why do you a.s.sist the Flower Palace?”

At this moment, both of them understood where the Flower Sect and the other sects got their confidence from. It turned out that it was from this extraordinary overlord of the central territory. However, Li Si and Bai Qi couldn’t figure out why the Exalted Han Empire would come over and a.s.sist the sects of the southern territory. After all, a huge price had to be paid in order to allow these Monarch Realm experts to pa.s.s through the barrier between territories!

“There was no conflict in the past, but there is now!” Situ Hai chuckled and said, “I presume you’re still not aware of it. Besides the Sword Sect, all the other five of the six great powers in the southern territory have sided with my Exalted Han Empire and have become va.s.sals of my Exalted Han Empire. So, your Grand Qin Empire’s actions of attacking them is equivalent to attacking my Exalted Han Empire. Understand?”

“How could that be possible!” Tempestuous waves surged through Li Si’s heart. How could the Origin School and the other sects choose to become va.s.sals of the Exalted Han Empire? All of them and even my Grand Qin Empire are nothing in the central territory, but everyone is used to being superior in the southern territory. So, how could they have chosen to become the servants of others? Moreover, how exactly did this expert of the Exalted Han Empire come to the southern territory? Why was he not affected by the barrier between territories at all?

“Why can’t it be possible!?” Situ Hai laughed coldly and said, “Alright, let’s get to the point. I merely came here to tell you that my Exalted Han Empire’s experts and the Souleater Corps will arrive at the southern territory soon. If you Grand Qin Empire wants to life and maintain its throne, then surrender. Otherwise…. Hehehe….”

“How exactly did all of you come to the southern territory!?” Li Si asked in a low voice. “Even a seventh rank Monarch Realm expert can’t traverse the barrier between territories and remain unaffected. You’re at the fourth rank of the Monarch Realm at most, yet not only have you been able to pa.s.s through the barrier, you’re completely unaffected by it. Could it be that the barrier has become useless and the continent is about to join into one?”

“Have you heard of the Mortal Emperor Sword?” said Situ Hai.

Li Si’s pupils constricted, and he cried out involuntarily. “The Mortal Emperor Sword has acknowledged an owner? How could that be possible? How can a true Mortal Emperor still appear in the continent? How could this be possible?”

The Mortal Emperor Sword had many uses, and one of it was the ability to disregard all barriers and seals on Profounder Continent. Because the Mortal Emperor Sword was a Natural Dao Artifact that had been born along with this world. Dao Artifacts were divided into natural and artificial Dao Artifacts. The dark treasures in both Li Si and Bai Qi’s possessions were Dao Artifacts, but they were Artificial Dao Artifacts!

On the other hand, the Mortal Emperor Sword was a Natural Dao Artifact, and it was one that had been born along with this world!
