Chapter 1693 - Azure Supreme Thearch (1/2)

You can leave now!

This sentence was very hurting; after all, Dao Nu was a very respectable and powerful person in the Heaven Domain. If they didn’t show face to Dao Leng, that was alright. However, not showing face to Dao Nu meant disrespecting the entire Dao Clan and even the Azure Supreme Thearch. If this matter was made known, the Azure Supreme Thearch would be laughed at by people. One had to be mindful of who his adversary’s backer was.

Jiang Yi breathed out in relief, and his affection towards Heavenly King Wei increased many folds. Not everyone would be willing to offend someone so powerful for a mere underling. Regardless of Heavenly King Wei’s considerations—at the very least, he had not sold Jiang Yi out.

“Hahaha!”

Dao Nu laughed out loud. Accompanying this laughter, his aura started to surge. Dao Leng also took out his battle saber; if Dao Nu intended to fight, he had no qualms of joining in at all. That year, he had almost been killed by Heavenly King Yun and could use this opportunity as revenge.

Buzz!

The Heaven-Splitting Saber lit up as a destructive aura surged; Jiang Yi’s entire being shuddered. This moment, he finally witnessed how powerful this divine weapon was. Even a wisp of energy from it would destroy him instantly, much less an attack from it.

Heavenly King Mu, Heavenly King Yun, and the other four Heavenly Kings all took out their own weapons. Heavenly King Wei, however, did not do anything. He sat there like a monk as he looked peacefully at Dao Nu; he didn’t seem worried at all.

“Old Fiend Wei, I am going to ask you one last time: are you going to hand him over?”

Dao Nu’s Heaven-Splitting Saber was raised high, and he was about to launch an attack. Heavenly King Wei answered calmly, “Dao Nu, this is not a place for you to fool about. If you do not stop now, bear the consequences.”

“Die—”

Dao Nu did not hesitate any further as his gaze turned towards Jiang Yi and his battle saber lit up with ten thousand beams of light. The entire castle’s restrictions flashed incessantly. At this moment, a purple light lit up in Heavenly King Wei’s eyes, and he was obviously about to unleash a soul spirit attack.

“Dao Nu!”

At this moment, a faint and ancient voice rang out in the central hall. Dao Nu’s raised Heaven-Splitting Saber actually halted in midair. Dao Leng heard this voice, and he shuddered as he was startled and genuflected immediately. He greeted, “Azure Supreme Thearch!”

Dao Nu’s aura weakened slightly as he also genuflected and greeted, “Master.”

Heavenly King Wei stood up while the other Heavenly Kings kept their weapons. Everyone cupped their hands and said, “Azure Supreme Thearch!”

Azure Supreme Thearch?

Jiang Yi was in utter turmoil; things seemed to be escalating so quickly today. Not only had Dao Nu come; the Azure Supreme Thearch himself had sent word? This was the number-one person in the entire Primordial World now.

The Azure Supreme Thearch’s voice was very peculiar; none of the guards outside the hall could hear it, only those within could. His voice rang out again, “Nine Yang City was built by the Heavenly Thearch; you dare to fight here? Once you are back, punish yourself according to clan rules!”

Dao Nu did not protest at all as his head bowed deeply. He said, “Master’s rebuke is true; I know my mistake.”

Azure Supreme Thearch paused and then continued. “Wei Pingping, although Dao Nu was wrong, he had acted with a cause. I will plead his case on his behalf; is that alright?”

Plead on his behalf?

Jiang Yi, Heavenly King Yun, and others’ faces all darkened. Since the Azure Supreme Thearch himself had opened his mouth—if they didn’t give this face, the Nine Yang Army and Azure Supreme Thearch Army would be dead loggerheads from now on.

If no face was given to Dao Nu, the Azure Supreme Thearch might at most be silently fuming. However, since he had opened his mouth, if this face wasn’t given; how was the Azure Supreme Thearch supposed to swallow this?

Heavenly King Wei grew silent. Heavenly King Mu, however, grew anxious as he looked at Heavenly King Wei, cupped his hands, and said, “Big Brother…”

Another Heavenly King also cupped his hands and said, “Big Brother… let’s forget about it.”
