"Hahaha, it’s unexpectedly the imperial tomb!"
"And you, Chang Qing, are actually the key to unlock the imperial tomb!"
Ximen Xiu instantly perceived the connection between the imperial tomb and Chang Qing.
He gazed at Chang Qing with fiery eyes, "After today, you will be the greatest opportunity on the Cangyan Continent!"
Upon hearing this, all the members of the Su family turned pale.
As strong individuals, they understood well the immense power behind Ximen Xiu’s words.
It was akin to driving Chang Qing to his death!
"Damn it, why does the imperial tomb emerge at this moment!"
Su Zian’s forehead glistened with cold sweat, feeling that things had spiraled completely out of control.
Beside him, Su Wenlin, Ye Shu, Ye Zhu, and others, all wore grim faces, their hearts filled with anxiety.
However, at this moment, Chang Qing remained expressionless, quietly sensing the earth-shattering changes within his body.
Upon hearing Ximen Xiu’s voice, he slowly opened his eyes, where pulsating purple-golden light flowed.
A noble and domineering aura surged to the sky, the Great Emperor’s Intent rampaging in all directions, causing hearts and minds to tremble.
He looked directly at Ximen Xiu above, and spoke calmly, "Isn’t the inheritance on me supposed to belong to your Celestial Sword Immortal’s Palace?"
"How did I become the greatest chance and fortune of the Cangyan Continent?"
"If anyone has the best hope to open the imperial tomb, shouldn’t it be your Celestial Sword Immortal’s Palace?"
The unhurried and calm words echoed, making everyone present cast strange glances at the Celestial Sword Immortal’s Palace.
They could clearly remember the firm claim by the Celestial Sword Immortal’s Palace that the Sword Emperor’s Intent was a lost inheritance of the Celestial Sword.
And now, as the imperial tomb appeared, the lie of the Celestial Sword was self-defeating.
No matter how strong Celestial Sword is, it’s only ever produced one Great Emperor.
The emanating aura of the imperial tomb doesn’t align with Celestial Sword at all.
This was enough to show that everything Celestial Sword did today was merely an attempt to forcibly seize Chang Qing’s inheritance.
This despicable tactic made all the sword cultivators present show looks of disgust.
The previously delighted members of Celestial Sword felt all sorts of awkwardness upon hearing Chang Qing’s words.
Facing the disdainful gazes of those present, they wished they could bury themselves underground. The rıghtful source is 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵⁂𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮⁂𝓷𝓮𝓽
They wanted to explain, to desperately link themselves with the Sword Emperor, and others couldn’t say much about it.
Even if there were doubts, Celestial Sword could at least keep a layer of facade.
But the problem is...
Now who dares to associate with the imperial tomb, to have a connection?
That thing is now like a ticking time bomb, and whoever gets involved becomes the enemy of the entire world!
The dilemma facing the members of Celestial Sword is one where there’s no right choice.
On one hand, admitting the shameless snatching of another’s inheritance, making Celestial Sword despised by all and losing face.
On the other hand, stubbornly claiming the inheritance as their own, keeping their last sliver of dignity, yet becoming enemies with the world...
No matter how it’s chosen, this is a catastrophe for Celestial Sword.
With just two sentences, Chang Qing put Celestial Sword in an impossible situation, doomed to a path of decline in the future!
At this moment, the smile on Ximen Xiu’s face froze, turning gradually pale, then finally an ashen mask.
His mind raced, seeking a way to break the deadlock.
But in the end, despairingly realizing that Celestial Sword seemed wrong no matter what action was taken.
From the moment the imperial tomb emerged, regardless of Chang Qing’s eventual fate.
They were already utterly defeated!
After a long silence, Ximen Xiu was furious, his gaze filled with boundless killing intent towards Chang Qing,
The terrifying aura of a Peak of Quasi-Emperor surged, the fearsome sharpness of the Emperor’s Weapon sweeping in all directions.
Facing Ximen Xiu’s wrathful strike, Chang Qing remained calm as always.
He brought together his two fingers and brushed across his brow, and the profound purple-golden markings seemed to materialize and detach.
A sword, imbued with the Emperor’s Intent, immensely noble and elegantly slender, manifested in the heavens and earth!
