Chapter 173: Unco

News that Zhu Xianyao was to be killed very quickly spread throughout Sky City

When Su Chen heard this news, his expression was neither shocked nor angry

Even though it wasn’t like he had known a long tio, Su Chen realized that he had accepted this possibility a long tinored Su Chen’s emotions

Su Chen didn’t tell Patelocke He didn’t want the others to be anxious

He sat in the courtyard, all alone, turning over soradually began to grow light…

The execution was slated to take place at noon

As noon drew closer and closer, the fairgrounds of the Perpetual Daylight Palace also began to fill up with Harpies wanting to watch the spectacle unfold

Because Harpies could fly, they were perfect spectators

The srounds was quickly filled with tens of thousands of Harpies

Standing below the stage were Zhu Xianyao and her subordinates, a total of 125 people

Zhu Xianyao’s expression was stoic

It wasn’t because she was afraid of death, but that she believed in Su Chen

In comparison, the Zhu Clan’s subordinates were in ht, and so down their face

The executioner was standing in place, holding a Soul-Severing Blade in his hand The surface of the blade was covered in a unique medicine that could completely destroy any consciousness power it caet slain by it, even an Ultimate Emperor Realm cultivator, would not be able to be resurrected

Further away, a large group of Harpy officials stood off to the side, watching closely

However, they didn’t seem to have any heart to supervise the situation They all appeared to be whispering into each others’ ears

From time to ti with a gloo had no idea what those officials were doing, but they cried out, “Your Majesty, please, spare her! You cannot kill Zhu Xianyao, otherwise a battle will break out and our race will be exter straight for the main hall

Everyone realized that the officials were also doing their best to try and stop the situation froed into the palace was a high-ranking Harpy official with outstanding character No one had expected even hiht

Unfortunately, his pleas were also ineffective

Very quickly, the old Harpy was unceremoniously thrown out of the hall by a soldier as he cried out with incredibly piercing words such as “don’t let your e the Harpy civilians into another bloodbath”

These cries didn’t ht, but they didnearby

There were even so to convince those around therounds and stop the execution

Unfortunately, the croas not spurred into action A large group of elite soldiers charged over, ai their weapons at the civilians One of the civilians trying to stir up trouble suddenly found that an arrow had penetrated his wing, causing him to plummet from the sky

Some soldiers immediately flew out and arrested his “His Majesty has issued an order Unless by his express permission, anyone who attempts to stop the execution will be treated as a traitor and will be immediately executed!”

The speaker was Lonely Skyleap

This Harpy co the Harpies in a successful defense against the Desolate Beast, causing many of the civilians to respect hiht to use hi a butcher’s knife to kill a chicken, but that was also a clear deht’s decisiveness

The Harpies were originally scattered and unorganized anyways, so when faced with the ian to settle

The flauished, and the crowd no longer had any teht back

Even Su Chen, as st that crowd of Harpies, could only sht, Eternal Night, you really have some skills!

But will you really kill her?

Su Chen knew that Eternal Night’s goal was to force hiht was really planning on killing Zhu Xianyao if he didn’t show himself

Only when the execution took place would Su Chen know

Worth noting was that Su Chen was re hidden not because he was cowardly but because he didn’t want people to link him with Zhu Xianyao That would make it impossible for him to save her

For this reason, he could only wait

The best outco to scare him If Su Chen hadn’t revealed hiht would stop the execution

This was a battle of willpower and faith

Who would be able to hold on until the last moment?

If this was before, Su Chen would have complete confidence that he could have won

Noever, he was no longer so confident

Eternal Night was the most fearsome opponent he had ever encountered before, not because he was strong or because he held immense power, but because he was incredibly wise and slippery

And now, Su Chen could only wait

Wait until all the cards were on the table

Time inched by second by second

The time of the execution ca on colare of the sun

They continued to watch on anxiously, hoping that His Majesty would change his mind

However, their hopes were disappointed

No one could oppose Eternal Night

His determination and his ere all unaffected by those around him Even the Mother Goddess Sect, which was on par with him in terms of authority, was completely powerless

For tens of thousands of years, the Mother Goddess Sect had been responsible for keeping the emperor in line to protect the civilians If necessary, they even had the power to overthrow the ee onwards!

His decisiveness and determination were truly praiseworthy

When the sun was directly above in the sky, the criticalbell, the executioner yelled loudly, “The time is now Prepare the execution!”

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!+
