39 Sudden Turn of Events (1/2)
Chapter 1551: Sudden Turn of Events
White Lunar Divine Empire's hundred thousand pavilion palaces.
At that moment, the upper echelons of the White Lunar Divine Empire were feeling miserable. The grand coronation had ended with their empress being kidnapped. They had lost their reputation in front of so many guests from all over the Sinkhole.
In truth, losing reputation was a trivial matter. More critically, the new empress had clearly decided on being with Yi Yun. It felt as though their White Lunar Divine Empire had been suddenly robbed off its backbone. All hope was lost. Furthermore, their Divine General Skyjade had been heavily injured by Yi Yun.
It could be foreseen that the White Lunar Divine Empire was facing its greatest crisis since it was first established tens of millions of years ago. If it was not resolved, the White Lunar Divine Empire would only slowly decline.
”Guests, I'm really sorry. Please stay calm and make your way to the banquet in the divine palace. We will slowly discuss a response.” With Divine General Skyjade heavily injured, Imperial Preceptor Kun Xu had no choice but to step forward to handle the situation.
”What do you mean by response?” said Sacred Horizon Divine Lord with a deep sigh.
”Everyone, I'm not trying to be an alarmist, but this Yi Yun will likely become a mortal malady for all of you one day! He isn't fully-fledged yet, but he already disparages all of you. In another century, his strength will increase greatly, and he will likely reign supreme over the Sinkhole. When that happens, we will likely have to live our days under the shadow he casts. If anyone were to be the slightest of a sore sight to him, it wouldn't be surprising to see them die by his hand. It seems… a few of you have a grudge with him. Who knows when in the future he will decide to settle the grudge?”
As Kun Xu spoke, he gave a knowing look at West River Divine Lord. He had a faint inkling that West River Divine Lord had offended Yi Yun, and it was not over something minor.
West River Divine Lord's expression changed. He naturally knew what Kun Xu was up to. He wished to instigate the entire Sinkhole to gang up on Yi Yun and kill him.
Although Yi Yun was powerful, the various Sinkhole factions had Godly Monarchs backing them. If they truly wanted Yi Yun dead, they could use the favors the Godly Monarchs granted them. It was still possible! After all, even the Godly Monarchs might not wish to see an expert that was destined to surpass them develop themselves.
But the price of doing so was too huge. Was it worth it?
West River Divine Lord was somewhat hesitant as he glanced at Sacred Horizon Divine Lord. Sacred Horizon Divine Lord said slowly, ”Imperial Preceptor Kun Xu, there's no need to continue. Yi Yun might not be our enemy.”
”Exalted Sacred Horizon, what you say is somewhat problematic. The Sinkhole's present factions are demarcated properly and this balance is beneficial to everyone. Even our White Lunar Divine Empire can offer some benefits. However, once Yi Yun matures to his full strength, he will become the strongest being. He will definitely aim to reap the greatest benefits for himself. To do so, he will be targeting all of you. Do you wish to be at his mercy when the time comes?”
”I believe everyone knows what it means to be meat on a chopping board. I know your scruples over the matter, but don't forget that no major faction has lasted for hundreds of millions of years in the Sinkhole's history. There is always a change of dynasty. If we ignore Yi Yun, we might one day be replaced.”
As Kun Xu spoke, his expression changed drastically. His body began to convulse, for at the same time, a terrifying energy fluctuation erupted out of the crowd. It felt like a devil had descended into the mortal world!
”This is…”
Everyone turned around abruptly, and at that moment, the terrifying energy had blasted out. A figure burning with black flames threw out two punches. His target was none other than Sacred Horizon Divine Lord!
He attacked so suddenly that it was the perfect sneak attack!
”Ha!”
Sacred Horizon Divine Lord roared. A phantom of a bright moon along a horizon appeared behind him. Meanwhile, a blue sword appeared in his hand as he slashed it out!
However, this strike was grabbed by the burning figure's fists that turned into claws!
”What!?”
Sacred Horizon Divine Lord's expression changed drastically. The attacker held the advantage of the first move since it was a sneak attack. And this clash shocked him with the realization that the attacker's strength was greater than his!
The boundless black Yuan Qi raged like a tumultuous demonic sea. It was completely unstoppable.
”Bam!”
