1911 Explosive Face Slap 3 (1/2)

After the disciples discovered that the Dark Emperor's tomb was phony, they all no longer had the will to fight and compete any more and they joined hands to escape the Heaven's End Cliff. This was also the reason why they had all come to appear here at the same time.

If it had been just disciples from one or two of the palaces coming back to report, it might be really be believed. But when disciples from almost all the palaces were saying the same thing, then it must definitely be true!

In an instant, the faces of all the Palace Lords turned white. They would never ever have thought that the Dark Emperor's tomb that had drained so much of their efforts would turn out to be empty…..

The immense blow that struck all the Palace Lords caused their hearts to wince in pain. Only the Heavens would know that for the past close to a thousand years, in order to locate the Dark Emperor's tomb, just how many of their most elite people and riches they had sacrificed.

But in the end…..

There was nothing at all.

What they had given up and all that they had sacrificed, had all become just one big joke.

The entire venue fell deathly silent. If not for the fact they were able to recognize the disciples they had sent to the Heaven's End Cliff, and knew that the disciples were indeed from their own palaces, they would not have been willing to believe it.

The pursuit that spanned a thousand years, that resulted in just one big joke.

They had been completely played out by the Dark Regions once again!

”No wonder….. No wonder the Dark Regions had not tried to restrict us from searching for the Dark Emperor's tomb. Haha….. So they….. knew that it was fake all along…..” The Green Tide Palace Lord lamented with a laugh, though it sounded like he was crying.

All the other Palace Lords were unable to accept that stark and cruel reality. In order for them to snatch the Dark Emperor's tomb out of the grasp of the others, how many things had they done, and sent just how many of their disciples to their deaths in vain, only to let them have a chance to ascend to the highest point in the Middle Realm.

But now, all that they did just seemed so laughable.

They had schemed and plotted, sacrificed so many of their elites, and at the end of it all, what they gained was only ridicule from the Dark Regions?
