Chapter 797 - Calling The Imperial Emperor Martial Brothers (1/2)
Bo Di and the others were utterly shocked. They stared with their mouths agape as Xi Zhuyan grabbed Royal Prince Wen Chang's head by the hairs in his hand.
On the piece of long cloth, Royal Prince Wen Chang's body was still moving in reflex, reaching to above his neck searching for his own head.
But how would he ever be able to find anything left?
Pu—
Blood fountained out his neck, tainting the long cloth red.
Then, the headless body swayed and fell to the ground.
Even Zhong Yue was shocked, not for a single moment did he think that the Xian Tian Palace's supreme senior martial brother would behead the Royal Prince without any hesitation!
Exchanging Bi Yuan's life with the Royal Prince's, it sounds like the Xian Tian Palace's supreme senior martial brother had placed Imperial Emperor Xian Tian on the same level as the Heavenly Monarch!
Although his words were filled with pain and sadness, Xi Zhiyan's actions were brimmed with a strong sense of ambition and honor of the Xian Tian Palace!
Seems like I don't even need to do anything to provoke them, it is just a matter of time before the conflict between Heavenly Monarch and Imperial Emperor Xian Tian comes to a head. All I am doing here is to catalyzing it to arrive sooner.
As Zhong Yue thought about it, he was relaxed. He was never a smart and intelligent man, but for the sake of the human race, he had to act as its sole strategist.
To do that, he even twisted his divinatory calculation technique that was initially meant for cultivation into one that could be used for strategy.
And now, the death of Xian Tian Palace's sixth junior martial brother Bi Yuan and Royal Prince Wen Chang would be the last straw to break the false peace and harmony between the two factions!
The war between Heavenly Monarch and Imperial Emperor Xian Tian was now bound to erupt!
The upcoming outbreak of war would entangle a huge number of races and factions, and keep them more than busy to take care of any other things else. With that, the human race would be able to enjoy a short reprieve from their oppression, not worrying about the Heavenly Monarch or Xian Tian Palace plotting dark schemes on them.
The greater the turmoil, the safer the human race would be, as well as Zhong Yue's personal safety.
And Royal Prince Wen Chang's head in Xi Zhiyan's hand was the final impetus for war!
"Supreme senior martial brother…" Bo Di and the others said in a trembling voice.
Xi Zhiyan kept the head and turned, he replied, "Let's return to the Xian Tian Palace!"
When he turned his head, his hairs burst out and sliced through the space heading for the nine escaping Zhu Shi Deity Emperors!
The Deity Emperors gave a stern yell each and cast their skills to fight back. They have even cast out the pseudo Imperial Granary to ward off Xi Zhiyan's hairs.
It was then, skills burst out from the hairs and thousands of them curled around the Imperial Granary, suppressing its power within before it could even be unleashed.
Xi Zhiyan brought Zhong Yue and the others and left without even checking. His hairs were still extending like like a jet black waterfall, waving and flowing continuously.
After some time, the hairs suddenly moved back from the space and Zhong Yue and the others could see the blood dripping down from the jet black hairs.
In just a short while, the Zhu Shi Celestial Race's nine Deity Emperors were dead!
Then, Xi He quickly said, "Supreme senior martial brother, the Weapon Ancestor is still not dead yet…"
"That's because I want him to live." Xi Zhiyan's face was placid like a pool of still water, he said, "If he is also dead, no one will live to tell the tale. If so, how will the rest of the universe know of the supremacy of our Xian Tian Palace? I allowed him to be alive so he can spread the word, let them know that the Xian Tian Palace is never to be messed with! If the Royal Prince killed the Xian Tian Palace's disciple, then even he will have to pay his life for it!"
The crowd frowned, they didn't agree much to his decision.
Just how a shocking news was it for one to kill the Heavenly Monarch's son? If the universe knows it, they would be in deep trouble as the Heavenly Monarch would never tolerate the death of his son and the humiliation that came with it!
That said, was it really a better choice to let Weapon Ancestor off?
Xi Zhiyan explained in a solemn voice, "Even if we don't, the Heavenly Monarch will still find out that the Xian Tian Palace was responsible for his son's death. Rather than just sit by idly and let that happen, it is better that we be the ones to announce it to the universe on our own terms, as a message to those that dark designs against us. After all, it's just a matter of time before the Xian Tian Palace and the Heavenly Monarch's faction to become broiled in war. All that is happening now is just moving the timeline forward."
He frowned and sighed, "I don't know why it is happening so fast, but it is bound to happen regardless. Junior martial siblings, be more cautious in the future."
He raised his head up and said, "It may seem peaceful right now, but the universe is teetering at the precipice of chaos. I guess soon enough, we will be seeing blood fall from the sky like rain…"
Hearing that, Bo Di and the others shuddered in cold.
