Chapter 182 – The Grown Sang Yueyue

“Stay your hand!”

Wind and clouds surged, followed by a vast slaughtering intent . From that grand hall deep within the royal palace, that man who wielded the highest authority in the world had finally made his voice heard . It was calm, indifferent, and without any fluctuations of strength, yet there was an invisible charm within that stunned the heart and filled one with endless awe .

A trace of disappointment flashed within the Whale Sovereign’s eyes . But beyond that, there was agitation, as if he had already expected this to occur .

He took a deep breath and stopped his steps . He lowered his head to express his respect .

At this moment, the Whale Sovereign’s expression was one of indifference . But, the slight wrinkling of his eyebrows carried with it a tinge of anger . With his sublime performance, he fully displayed his att.i.tude of unwillingness and helplessness .

The seafolk really did need to deliver an acting award to the Whale Sovereign, because his performance was perfect . It was so perfect that even those old fogies of the Council of Elders felt a stabbing pain in their hearts .

Look! The great and mighty ruler of the seas had actually disregarded his most important subordinates just so he could save the life of a mere human . Others might fear his unsurpa.s.sed royal authority, but they didn’t . They were already buried to their necks in the earth, so would they still be fearful over their lives?

His Majesty had been fooled . What they needed to do was awaken him, scold him until he was sober .

“Your Majesty, we acknowledge that you are the wisest and most formidable ruler in the history of the royal family, but now you have changed; you have changed and become unreasonable and incorrigibly obstinate . ”

“The Council of Elders might possess no real power, but we are the elders of the royal family and have a duty-bound responsibility to help Your Majesty . Look at everything around you . You have already made mistake after mistake . Do you plan on repeating them?”

“Wake up! Has unsurpa.s.sed royal authority caused you to lose your judgment? Your Majesty, do you want to become the most disastrous and inadequate ruler in the history of the sea races!?”

The Whale Sovereign remained silent . What he needed to do now was play the role of a good and loyal aide; the rest would be handled by the elders . But in the next moment, his eyes narrowed to reveal a bit of surprise and…praise . Sure enough, His Majesty was still His Majesty . He hadn’t changed at all in these past years .

“Fellow elders, has this Solitude been silent for too long, or is it because these hands haven’t been stained by blood in recent times that you all think the royal authority has declined to the extent where it can be questioned by the likes of you?” The Sea Sovereign had a light expression, but everyone could feel the terrifying aura accompanying each and every word .

The Council of Elders…yes, perhaps it was disrespectful to call these elders a bunch of old fogies, so maybe it was better to call them old thieves . Yes, the old undying b.a.s.t.a.r.ds were just old thieves after all . Their complexions stiffened and their bodies shook with anger . They never imagined that His Majesty would actually respond to them like this .

Flames wildly burned in their chests . But no matter how much their lips quivered or their bodies shook, no one dared to open their mouth to speak again .

This caused the old thieves to realize with shame that they still feared death .

Because His Majesty…would really kill people .

In the past, in order to smoothly mount the throne, he had already killed many, many people, and this included those from the royal family .

To be more exact, the most people that His Majesty killed were from the royal family . At that time, many spots had become vacant in the Council of Elders . It was only during the last 200-300 years that these positions had gradually filled back up . Then, who had the confidence to say that His Majesty wouldn’t once again clear out the Council of Elders?

The Whale Sovereign might praise His Majesty’s forceful momentum and strength, but he couldn’t remain silent any longer . He looked and said with a solemn expression, “Your Majesty, today is the Day of Ancestral Wors.h.i.+p . For something so wicked to occur today, you must give us an explanation…even if you are the supreme ruler of the sea races . This is because the explanation is not for us, but for the ancestors up above who silently shelter the royal family . ”

These words were heavy and were extremely well spoken . They completely removed any responsibility from the Whale Sovereign while placing the most pressure on the Sea Sovereign .

“This Solitude will give you all an explanation . Now, draw back . ” The Sea Sovereign spoke lightly, as if he didn’t feel any pressure at all .

The Whale Sovereign bowed and took several steps back . He lifted Jing Guanjin’s corpse and departed .

The old thieves from the Council of Elders all had dark and grim faces . Just before they left, their eyes were cold and clouded over, indicating that this matter wouldn’t end here .

Since His Majesty needed to give them an explanation, they would wait .

Princess Lushy bit her lips . She didn’t know how or when she left the royal palace . It was only when she was escorted onto her carriage that she slumped back in her soft seat . A thought suddenly rose in her heart: perhaps the future life she dreamed of would never be realized .

Qin Yu’s wounds were heavy, but thanks to the potency of the Demon Body as well as the existence of the water and wood element spiritual objects within him, he was extremely tough to kill . As long as he didn’t receive wounds that would take his life almost immediately, then he could restore himself in a short period of time . So, during this period in the royal palace, Qin Yu sat about peacefully . While his complexion was still pale white, he wasn’t wounded any longer .

The old turtle coldly sneered, “What a heroic and powerful human cultivation . During the royal family’s Day of Ancestral Wors.h.i.+p, you went on a killing spree and finished off almost all your enemies . But, so what? Everyone knows that what happened to your disciple was the handiwork of the Whale Sovereign . How will you get rid of him?”

Qin Yu thought for a moment . He said, “As long as I’m still alive, I will have the chance . ”
