Chapter 732: Chapter 459: The Ancestral Worship Ceremony Comes to a Complete End!
Arrogant, conceited, confident.
None of these are sufficient to describe the people from Taoist Divine Palace. In full view of the public, they caused an uproar in the Imperial City, disrupting the grand ancestral ceremony, yet the court could do nothing to them and let them leave with heads held high!
This was an absolute disgrace to the court and even more so to the Royal Family.
Jingtai’s face was ferociously grim, his fists clenched tightly.
Around him swirled an extremely thick killing intent.
This made several princes nearby feel somewhat panicked, unable to help but keep their distance.
‘Chen Yuan’ waved his hand and took a few from the Taoist Divine Palace away, but he did not bother with Song Zhilun and Chi Lian Demon Venerable from the Heavenly Demon Hall. They exchanged glances, realizing something was amiss.
Since the court could not capture the people from Taoist Divine Palace, they would definitely vent their frustration on them.
The moment their resolve strengthened, the two vanished in a flash, attempting to merge into the void.
Gu Tianqiong’s expression tensed, and a suppressing force instantly arose in the void, attempting to detain them. However, at that moment, in the originally calm void,
a Fist Power blasted out, breaking Gu Tianqiong’s efforts, and Song Zhilun and Chi Lian Demon Venerable also entered the Formation, disappearing swiftly.
Only leaving behind a sentence:
“Brother Gu, if you wish to fight, you may come to Blood State. This venerable one awaits your grand arrival!”
The voice echoed in everyone’s ears, slowly fading away.
Then there followed an unprecedented silence, where everyone dared not even breathe heavily, fearing that Jingtai’s rage would be redirected onto them.
It seemed like a long time had passed, yet it also felt like just a moment.
Not far away, Cao Zhengxian couldn’t help but cough lightly twice.
His face looked somewhat unwell.
He had been alone in resisting the aftermath, and even though he was protected by the Heavenly Gang, he was still forced back by more than ten yards, his qi and blood roiling, and he couldn’t help feeling frightened.
This retreat by Cao Zhengxian was enough to highlight the power of Moluo.
Merely by the aftermath, a peak Refining God expert was repulsed—who in the world could achieve this step besides a few Supreme Yang Gods?
Pu Xian Bodhisattva’s clothes were also considerably tattered, his Dharma Image collapsed, severely wounded.
He stared in the direction they had vanished, a trace of seriousness flashing in his eyes, Mahamudra…such formidable skill, he felt that if the strike had been aimed solely at him,
he might truly have been unable to withstand it.
Since when had such a figure appeared in the world?
Gu Tianqiong remained silent, his earlier spirit of having just emerged from seclusion gone. Initially, he felt that three against one was beneath his dignity, but with the Emperor’s decree at hand, he had no choice but to obey.
But it was only after actually clashing that he understood how formidable his opponents were.
Though he appeared unharmed, merely a bit in disarray, how it truly was, only he knew. He had withstood most of the Mahamudra himself.
He was already severely injured!
He was merely persevering.
Otherwise, he would not have watched as the others drifted away without making any move to stop them.
Taking a deep breath, Gu Tianqiong murmured:
“Taoist Divine Palace, Asura Daoist…”
In the moment of silence, everyone still immersed in the terrifying might, with a single strike, buildings within thousands of meters collapsed, and the ground caved in.
Even if it weren’t for the Imperial City’s Formation and Cao Zhengxian bearing the brunt, the Imperial City might have suffered greatly.
But this wasn’t the most vital matter. The most vital was that today’s court suffered tremendous losses—a Royal Family True Monarch, several Yang Transformation True Masters had fallen,
and the opponents had brazenly drifted away.
The court’s dignity was utterly lost.
Many understood that, perhaps, from this day forward, as the old demon Yang Huatian said, the decline of the court began from today!!!
And yet, Taoist Divine Palace became famous in one battle, shocking the world.
The names of several Daoists from Taoist Divine Palace, especially that terrifying Asura Daoist, would thoroughly shake the world!
And they had also witnessed a grand scene.
Jingtai, silent for a long while, suddenly spoke softly.
A eunuch in a blue robe quickly approached and knelt on one knee before him.
“Issue my decree, in the Great Jin Thirteen States, vigorously search for the whereabouts of those from Taoist Divine Palace. As long as one can achieve a feat, I…will not hesitate to confer a marquisate. These treacherous officials, I will…”
Gu Tianqiong stepped down from the void, speaking gravely:
“Is this matter really….”
He did not articulate his words clearly, but everyone understood his meaning—this time the court had employed three True Monarchs and more than a dozen True Masters without detaining them,
on what grounds could they pursue and issue warrants for them?
It was likely nothing more than delivering themselves to death.
“Does the Great Governor not understand? The reason why the people from Taoist Divine Palace suddenly left was because unleashing such formidable power reached their limits, and at this moment they are all heavily injured. As long as their traces are found, I…will deploy the true strength of the Royal Family to eradicate them!” Follow current novels on Nov3lFɪre.ɴet
Jingtai spoke gravely.
The true strength of the Royal Family?
This phrase, once uttered, made everyone in attendance turn their gaze toward Jingtai.
Was there truly a True Monarch within the Royal Family?
No one knew this, not even Gu Tianqiong. The court, with vast lands and numerous resources, if the Sima Family had a genius, resources would undoubtedly be generously given for cultivation.
Perhaps there were indeed many hidden experts.
Of course, this was just a possibility, and the likelihood was not very high.
Gu Tianqiong felt the most probable reason was that Jingtai wished to restore the court’s confidence, as experiencing such a blow was akin to making many doubt the court.
And indeed, that would be the greatest danger.
