Chapter 1076: Biased (1/2)

“Senior brother Huo Jun, surely you know the consequences of this as well. The princess of Ethos Palace holds the same status as your princess of Inception Palace. They’re both the daughters of their respective monarch!

“If this heathen doesn’t die, Her Highness… Ethos Palace won’t just simply look the other way!” repeated the woman in blue.

Huo Jun turned around to look at the sword in Lu Yun’s hand. Icewater wasn’t a premier connate treasure, but it bore a remarkable affinity for Mo Ke’s nature and was the weapon most suitable for him. Its rank would increase with his cultivation, ultimately surpassing the limitations of a connate treasure.

The Ethos princess had once trekked all over the chaos in search of a treasure like this for her son.

But apart from this, Mo Ke’s development remained uninfluenced by Ethos Palace. Everything he’d accomplished was the result of his own efforts. He and his sword alone had built the foundations of a future sovereign realm expert.

He was the greatest pride of the Ethos princess and she’d wanted to light a soul lamp for him multiple times. However, he’d always turned her down. In his words, he would never become a true powerhouse if he never really experienced the possibility of death.

If he’d grown into his own and become an eternal overlord, he would’ve been stronger than Chi Wuxia and even rivaled Qiu Luoyu.

……

“Did you kill Mo Ke?” Huo Jun’s brow was tightly furrowed. It’d be another matter if anyone else was dead, but Mo Ke’s background was too great… even greater than usual sacred clan members. He was a direct grandson of the Ethos monarch.

“No,” Lu Yun heaved a slight sigh of relief. He hadn’t thought that picking up a random sword would bring such trouble. Thankfully, with Huo Jun now on the scene, those of the nine sacred lands didn’t dare say a word or twitch a muscle.

Huo Jun ranked at the top of the mortal realm. Among the mortal realm disciples of the six palaces, he was solidly in the top twenty.

“Mo Ke died outside the Blood Sea, drained by its mosquitoes. I picked up this sword from his body.” Lu Yun looked up at the woman with cerulean hair and smiled coldly. “The water origin land and the nine sacred lands sure have a big temper. They tried to kill me without even giving me a chance to explain.”

Horror ricocheted around the scene at his words.

“You r-really didn’t kill my junior brother?” the woman tripped over her words. If Lu Yun hadn’t killed Mo Ke, then Inception Palace would never forgive the sacred lands for besieging one of their disciples!

This boy had withstood two strikes of her combat arts through he was second level mortal realm. He was absolutely an extraordinary genius of Inception Palace!

“This sword records Mo Ke’s cause of death. Take a look for yourselves.” Lu Yun didn’t want to face further hunts from the sacred lands and tossed Icewater to the woman.

“Disciples of Inception Palace do not need to explain themselves to anyone,” Huo Jun suddenly said. “I will report this to Her Highness. The matter will be settled if you die here, but if you dare make it out alive…”

His gaze suddenly turned as sharp as an eagle’s and scanned everyone in the crowd, committing the faces of even pure bystanders to memory.

Color drained out of everyone’s faces and they all turned as white as a sheet. This was a blatant threat. Huo Jun had just pronounced the death sentence for them!

“Senior brother…” The woman didn’t have a chance to finish before Huo Jun interrupted her.
