Chapter 702 - Great Personalities (1/2)
Even without being present at the scene, the Realm Monarch still managed to freeze everything with just a cold snort.
As soon as King Geng killed Prince Yun He, Realm Monarch Yun Shan had already known about this and before he arrived, his voice had reached the scene!
And the amazement brought by King Geng after killing so many powerful foes with lightning speed was quickly erased by the Realm Monarch's brief display of strength!
"Realm Monarch Yunshan!"
The Eighteen Emperors of Heavenly Cloud raised their head and blindly looked around but without vision, what could they see?
"Helian Yunshan, if you dare touch King Geng, I will tear you to pieces!" shouted Heavenly King Lu angrily as if he had forgotten that his limbs were no more.
But even if he still had his arms and legs, he was still no match for Realm Monarch Yun Shan.
A few moments had passed, and the Realm Monarch still nowhere to be seen, but the pressure he exerts remained.
After a few more minutes, the dimension within the Inn of Heavenly Treasure tore open and an officer with golden scroll walked out of the rift with two golden armored gods in tow.
Shua—
The scroll was opened and the officer gave King Geng a cold glance, "Under the orders of the Realm Monarch, Prince Yun He was murdered by King Geng and his crime shall not go unpunished. The Realm Monarch thus hereby sentences you to death!"
King Geng's disappointment was clear on his face as completely ignored the officer and sneered into the skies, "Helian Yunshan, are you afraid of seeing me? Are you afraid of facing me!?"
The officer closed the scrolls and said coldly, "I assume you have comprehended this the wrong way. The Realm Monarch is a busy man and he has other important matters to attend to. Realm Monarch was very angry that you killed his son, but that was not enough to set aside his other pressing matter. Now, may I please have King Geng get on the path to Hell? There is a seat for King Geng on the Stage of Beheading Gods and it will be easier for me to report back to King Geng after your soul is no more."
The golden gods behind the officer immediately stepped out as the officer spoke and their bodies enlarged as they grabbed towards King Geng.
King Geng remained indifferent and the disappointment on his face intensified as he mocked, "You just don't dare to face me, Helian Yunshan! Forget it, seems like you still feel guilt. At least a tiny part of you is still good."
"Silence!" shouted the officer, "How dare you mock the Realm Monarch. How dare you assume to know the majesty of the Realm Monarch! The Realm Monarch is currently trying to settle the conflict between Realm Lord Fa and Realm Lord Hua so he merely had no time to be bothered about you. King Geng, your legacy is no more and you are nothing more than just an insect in the eyes of the Realm Monarch right now. Now, seize him and send him to the Stage of Beheading Gods!"
The two golden-armored gods then restrained King Geng's movement and chained him up.
Suddenly, a voice could be heard shouting, "Stop this at once! I wish to protect him!"
The officer and the two golden armored gods dozed off for a second and when they looked towards the direction where the voice came from, they laughed mockingly when they saw a young human shouting.
"Is this a human here saying that he wishes to protect King Geng?"
The officer laughed and screeched, "You humans are nothing! Even if we set aside your lowly bloodline and your status, what are you relying on to say that you want to protect this criminal that murdered the prince?"
He then directed his presence straight at Zhong Yue, pressuring Zhong Yue so much that his bones started to creak yet he refused to surrender. Blood started flowing out of Zhong Yue's mouth and he shouted, "I have an innate god supporting me! I want to protect King Geng!"
The officer was shocked and without a second thought, he immediately dispersed his power as he became lost on how to respond.
Zhong Yue felt relieved and after he stood up straight again, he said, "Tell Realm Monarch that today, his life belongs to me and that he will know if my support is an innate god or not after he asked Realm Lord Fa and Heavenly King Shang!"
The officer frowned and while he quickly returned to seek further advice from the Realm Monarch, he gave an order to the two golden gods to restrain King Geng but not to harm him. Not long later, the officer returned to the Heaven Court's Hall of Supreme Harmony, and reported back to Realm Monarch, "That human said that he has an innate god behind him and that he wants to save King Geng. I dare not make reckless decisions so I've returned to you, my lord. He also said that this can be corroborated by Heavenly King Shang and Realm Lord Fa."
In the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Realm Lord Fa and Realm Lord Hua were still arguing and along with the many Heavenly Kings and Realm Lords, the Realm Monarch was trying to calm the duo.
And the news brought back by this officer gave them all a scare and they lost their voice before they shouted at once, "An innate god?"
"The traitor King Geng is causing trouble again and this time, he even killed a prince?"
"The Realm Monarch spared his life because of the good deeds he did for this realm and because of the previous Realm Monarch. After his betrayal, he was merely banished into the Prison Realm and now, he still dares to commit crimes again?"
Realm Monarch Yunshan attracted the attention of Heavenly King Shang and Realm Lord Fa and said, "Heavenly King Shang, Realm Lord Fa, what the human said, is it true?
Heavenly King Shang hesitated for a moment and he quickly pushed the responsibilities to Realm Lord Fa by staring at him. Realm Lord Fa then replied with chagrin, "It's true. In fact, this human is a very reckless and ruthless one; previously, he killed the son of the Emerald Heaven Dharma King, Prince Shi Yun. She did not dare to move against him without permission so she reported this to me. Shi Yun is my reborn son and as someone who appreciates talented individuals very much, I ordered Emerald Heaven Dharma King to stand down in an attempt to preserve talented individuals for the Prison Realm. Little did I know that in the competition in the Prison Realm, he even killed my beloved son, Fa Huasheng, and when I was about to execute him, the presence supporting him showed up. As a result, I did not dare to act against him anymore even after all the crimes he had committed.
Realm Monarch Yun Shan looked at Heavenly King Shang again and the speechless Heavenly King Shang nodded and replied, "Your humble servant and Realm Lord Fa had once met with this person and she really is an innate god. Perhaps, her strength is even stronger than the Heavenly Monarch and the two of us had been suppressed by her power for about a year. I even thought of bribing this human brat but nothing seemed to have worked."
