Chapter 926 - Intelligence Stands No Chance Against Absolute Power (1/2)

The annihilation of his race, the slavery of humanity, how could that be forgotten?

When the sword decapitated the enemies, it must be done with speed.

The sword was just like the heart.

Just like the sword that dulled after prolonged usage, the heart would get tired after going through a lot of hardship.

Hence, not only mst the sword be polished and sharpened, the heart must also be taken care of.

In Zhong Yue's hand, the innate divine saber was flawless as it shone brightly, reflecting himself and his flaws on its surface.

Suddenly, a divine general came reporting, "A messenger from the Heaven Court is requesting to see you, my lord!"

With a flick of his mind, the divine blade disappeared and Zhong Yue had his men allow the messenger in.

This messenger was a human god and in his hands was a scroll from the Heavenly Monarch, "Heaven Suppression Fortress' commander, Yi Feng, come forth and accept the decree."

Hearing this, Zhong Yue remained seated on the chair and with a simple wave, he said, "Read it."

The messenger was furious upon seeing this and immediately shouted, "How dare you, Yi Feng! You dare sit and not bow to the Heavenly Monarch's decree? Are you trying to rebel?"

Zhong Yue remained seated expressionlessly.

Yin Fanxuan, who was on the other side rebutted without hesitation, "My husband serves Imperial Emperor Xian Tian, not the Heavenly Monarch, why should he bow? If he's going to rebel, you're the first one who will be killed in his conquest! Do you want to force my husband into doing that?"

"Read," said Zhong Yue again.

The messenger suppressed his anger and opened up the scroll. It talked about the upcoming birthday of the Heavenly Monarch and that they were all invited to the celebration taking place in the Heaven Court.

Zhong Yue had a subordinate accept the scroll and asked, "Apart from me, who else in Xian Tian Palace is invited?"

The arrogant messenger replied, "The land in this universe is the land of the Heavenly Monarch, Xian Tian Palace is just one of the many factions out there, which places them all under the command of the same lord, the Heavenly Monarch. Only the leaders and masters are invited to the Heaven Court! If you dare to be absent, you will be charged with treason!"

Zhong Yue answered with a smile, "Such a foul mouth! Punish him with 300 lashes and throw him out."

Shocked and enraged by Zhong Yue's decision, the messenger shouted, "I am the Heavenly Monarch's messenger and you dare to punish me? Hold on! Wait! I am a human and you are a human too! Why don't you let me go?"

His words, however, did not stop the generals from executing their lord's order. The messenger was pressed to the ground and after the beatings, he was already half dead.

The messenger struggled up and shouted angrily, "Yi Feng, you humiliated the Heavenly Monarch's messenger! Do you still want to go to the birthday celebration or not! If you decide to go, I will wait for you there and tell everyone about your transgressions!"

Zhong Yue was caught off guard at this messenger daringness and he said, "I let you keep your life because you are a human, but I never thought you have that gall! Fine, wait for me in the Heaven Court."

Just as the divine generals were about to throw the messenger out, the man patted his clothes and smirked, "Don't you lay a finger on me! I can still walk myself!"

With that said, he stood up straight and walked away arrogantly.

In the main hall, Yin Fanxuan's beautiful eyebrows frowned, "Darling, why did he say that he will wait for you in the Heaven Court? Are you really planning to attend the celebration? I fear that the celebration is just a trap and the Heavenly Monarch is waiting there to slaughter everyone who attends his birthday celebration!"

In the letter, it asked Zhong Yue if he was to attend the celebration or not, which also suggested that Imperial Emperor Xian Tian was invited as well. However, knowing how dangerous it was, even Imperial Emperor Xian Tian would be reluctant to attend.

With the universe in such a chaotic situation, it was very clear that the Heavenly Monarch had ill designs, hence, what Yin Fanxuan said was very plausible.

Zhong Yue laughed and said, "If Xian Tian Palace does not attend the banquet, those warlords that attended the banquet will be all taken over by the Heaven Court and those that wanted to stay neutral will think Xian Tian Palace is afraid of the Heaven Court. If that happens, Xian Tian Palace will have lost momentum before the war even began, placing them at a disadvantage."

"But darling, the celebration is definitely not just a celebration."

Yin Fanxuan shook, "After you punished their messenger, things will become even more dangerous when you arrived at Heaven Court!"

"I punished him not because of his arrogance but because of his incompetence. Though the trip may be very risky, it is still a good chance to meet the many heroes of this world. Hence, I will still attend the celebration even if Imperial Emperor Xian Tian does not go. However, it is still better if I can get him to go with me for safety reasons."

Yin Fanxuan couldn't help but laugh, "But darling, with their relationship, do you think Imperial Emperor Xian Tian will attend the celebration?"

"I've my own ways. Worry not."

Zhong Yue wrote a letter to Imperial Emperor Xian Tian that read, "The Heavenly Monarch has malicious intentions by setting up this banquet for his celebration. Your humble servant strongly recommends King Zi Guang to attend this celebration for he is a very intelligent and observant man. His presence there in the celebration will not cause any loss of face for Xian Tian Palace and he can even try to recruit some of the warlords there. I am willing to attend the celebration with King Zi Guang!"

He then sealed the letter and handed it over to Fu Li to deliver to Xian Tian Palace as quickly as possible.

Just as he put down his pen, Yin Fanxuan laughed, "That messenger might have a foul mouth but he has guts. Even after the punishment, he can still talk in such manner and force you into attending the celebration in Heaven Court."

"I wanted to go there anyway, how is that possible that I… Wait! This human messenger is indeed very suspicious! I was still thinking about it but ever since meeting with him, I've made up my own unconsciously! I was affected by him!"

Zhong Yue's expression changed right away and he immediately charged out from the palace and dove right into the Star Gate as he shouted, "Fanxuan, summon Fu Qizhi and Fu Yanshan to back me up!"
