Chapter 2587: The Truth Is Not Important

Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang's gaze was calm and composed as he explained and defended himself.

"The Blood-Flesh Pole Ancient Emperor, back then, was not merely planting hidden agents alone."

"He was also having living beings of unknown existence plant pieces, and this entity was exceptionally skilled in fate and causality, successfully deceiving me; the Blood-Flesh Pole Ancient Emperor himself activated the refinement of the Sun Tree, a process I had not anticipated at all, thus leaving me caught off guard—truly—"

Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang let out a soft sigh.

Before him, strands of sunlight unfolded, displaying scene after scene, threads of causality, all his own actions during this period, with not a trace of malice.

It appeared there was not a trace of malice.

All the suspicious points had explanations, reasonable and logical.

As if he had long been prepared for this.

Jiang Ding stared at him, staring at this human Sacred Emperor.

"Fellow Daoist—"

Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang's heart jolted, a feeling of creepiness arising.

In this era, at this time, being stared at so closely by an Eight-Character Sword Dao Forbidden Zone Ancient Emperor was enough to make any living being uneasy, giving rise to all kinds of terrible omens of death.

Moreover, this omen of death far surpassed that of the Red Thread Ancient Emperor's time!

Red Thread Ancient Emperor attained Dao through the Other Shore Flower, is a traditional meaning demon race Ancient Emperor, naturally eliciting political sympathy from myriad race Ancient Emperors, like rabbits dying and foxes grieving.

However, internal warfare among the human race is quite different!

Many foreign Ancient Emperors, such as the Nine-Leaf Sword Emperor, the Undying Ancient Emperor, and the Wastestone Dragon Emperor, etc., are pleased to see the human emperors slaughter each other internally; under such circumstances, these Forbidden Zone Ancient Emperors are highly unlikely to intervene, which brings about an extremely serious consequence.

That is, Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang will have to face Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang alone!

What kind of result will that be?

A terrifying dark future is shrouding this human Sacred Emperor, and he cannot help but feel a trace of regret; as for why he regrets, it remains unknown.

Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang has done too much for today; what is before him may not be his true body, the fear in his heart flashed and vanished, gradually returning to stillness like an ancient well.

Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang quietly gazed at the blue-clad youth before him.

Suddenly, that violent, surging killing intent that nearly submerged the Forbidden Zone Ancient Emperor vanished abruptly.

Like an illusion, it appeared suddenly and disappeared suddenly.

"So that's how it is."

Jiang Ding revealed a hint of a smile.

It seemed he had fully believed it.

Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang's heart was filled with sudden doubt and uncertainty.

"Then,"

"According to your esteemed opinion, who is secretly causing trouble?"

Jiang Ding asked sincerely.

"Who—"

Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang pondered.

Thought for a long time.

"Nine-Leaf Sword Emperor?"

Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang ventured.

No response, and the killing intent instead gradually accumulated again.

"Wastestone Ancient Emperor?"

No response.

"Undying Ancient Emperor?"

Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang tried again.

"Yes, you are correct."

"The Undying Ancient Emperor has gone too far in bullying people."

Jiang Ding slightly nodded, killing intent bursting forth: "I wholeheartedly seek the Dao, yet there are always such lowly people actively provoking, slaughtering the children of my human race."

"To not avenge this grudge is to be unworthy as a son of man!"

The Forbidden Zone Sword Emperor's anger was held back but not released, causing the Great Dao to tremble slightly, all kinds of terrifying celestial phenomena appearing and vanishing.

"Indeed."

"It is truly the Undying Ancient Emperor; this wretch has always been mysterious, dark and strange, and must be the one behind this!"

Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang's heart eased, and he shouted angrily.

"It is so."

"The evidence is absolutely certain, as solid as Rushan; the Undying Ancient Emperor intends to stir up internal strife among our human emperors, a crime deserving death."

Jiang Ding calmly gazed at the person before him.

"Yes,"

"Absolutely certain, as solid as Rushan!"

Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang spoke in a deep voice.

He produced piece after piece of evidence, thread after thread of causality, segment after segment of past history, from various angles proving this was the doing of the Undying Ancient Emperor's palace, the evidence as solid as Rushan, impossible to deny.

"Undying Ancient Emperor, heartless and deranged."

"Shared resentment by gods and men."

"Therefore, will the human emperors block foreign Ancient Emperors for me?"

Jiang Ding asked lightly.

"This—"

Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang hesitated.

The alliance of the human emperors is extremely shallow and fragile, merely a loose confederation with no coercive reward or punishment measures; wanting the emperors to block the foreign ancient emperors for Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang is nearly impossible.

"Can't it be done?"

Jiang Ding smiled faintly.

The smile was gentle and warm, full of respect for his senior.

The Sun Ancient Emperor's scalp instantly exploded!

He knew this was a choice: the Human Forbidden Zone Sword Emperor must kill, whether it be him or the Undying Ancient Emperor—it is inevitable; the truth does not matter, and the Sword Emperor of the Human Forbidden Zone does not care about so-called truth, as long as one forbidden-zone ancient emperor is executed.

If you cannot, then you die!

It is the same, with no difference, completely identical.

"The human emperors————will surely lend their strong support, fellow Daoist."

Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang spoke with a hoarse voice.

He knew he must do this—it is the only concession; the Human Forbidden Zone Sword Emperor still harbors ethnic sentiment in his heart, and this time, regardless of whether he did it or not, his many connections are a fact; whether due to incompetence or genuine malice, it is all the same, with no distinction.

"Then, thank you for your hard work, senior."

Jiang Ding gave Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang a deep look, his figure gradually fading from sight.

In the Sun Immortal Palace, silence persisted for a long time.

Until, Ji Yan Gu Huang cautiously entered, gazing at his father, appearing timid and shrinking, standing with hands bound in an obedient manner.

"Ji Yan,"

"Do you think this matter was done by me alone?"

Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang asked lightly.

"How would I know?"

"I am not you."

As soon as Ji Yan Gu Huang spoke, his obedient demeanor collapsed immediately, speaking bluntly: "To speak frankly, Father, you were not beaten to death—I, the son, am greatly surprised."

"When did the temper of Tai Shang Da Ri become so good?"

"I don't understand."

He scratched his head, somewhat incredulous.

As an existence who once proved the Dao as an ancient emperor, his status among the Sun's children is very special; many confidential matters allowed him to participate, hence he knows the purpose of Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang's visit here today.

"This matter was truly not done by me alone."

"Although I did fan the flames, the source is truly not me—I was merely set up by someone at the end, indeed lacking skill; in the future, such things should still be done less."

"This time, I am truly clumsy to the extreme, as laughable as a performer or actor."

Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang spoke helplessly.

The Sun Dao, indeed, is not particularly adept at dark affairs.

In past eras, he was always scheming without distinction, to the point that he truly believed he could freely manipulate heavenly secrets and causality.

But upon truly arriving at the battlefield of the forbidden-zone ancient emperors, this scheming became entirely a joke.

"Yes yes yes,"

"It is not Father you who did it—I completely believe!"

Ji Yan Gu Huang swore an oath, speaking firmly.

This attitude caused Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang to open his mouth, speechless, wanting to say something but unable to utter a word.

Even parent and child are like this—no wonder others have many thoughts.
