Chapter 1719

So, even though the disciples were utterly baffled, the elders still forcibly suppressed it.

Given the Human Emperor Palace ancestor's present mindset, who would dare to provoke his bad luck?

The elders also left with grim faces, leaving only the Human Emperor Palace disciples standing dazed on the spot, each gritting their teeth, with only the sound of teeth grinding heard rising and falling.

The anger in their eyes was almost substantive; if not for the elders' repeated strict orders forbidding anyone to act first, the Human Emperor Palace disciples would have already gone to fight the Dao Yi Shengdi to the death.

But if the Human Emperor Palace disciples really dared to fight to the death, that would be exactly what the Dao Yi Shengdi disciples would like to see.

Nowadays, aside from the gap in their ancestral realms, the Dao Yi Shengdi and the Human Emperor Palace are basically evenly matched in all other aspects.

After the previous great defeat, the Human Emperor Palace's young lord Ji Minghuang was killed, and a batch of Emperor Sovereigns and Great Emperor powerhouses also fell on the battlefield.

As for the lower disciples, there's no need to say more.

So, if the Human Emperor Palace disciples truly let anger cloud their judgment and act rashly, the Dao Yi Shengdi would not only not fear it, but could even say it was exactly what they wanted.

Isn't this just giving everyone a reason to strike and kill the opposing side?

At Divine Sword Peak, inside Xu Jie's Dong Fu, it can be said to be extraordinarily lively; not only Zhao Zhengping, Liu Shuang, and Lu Youyou, but also inner disciples from other peaks have gathered together.

Everyone spoke somewhat gloomily.

This Human Emperor Palace is too cowardly; even after all this, they can still endure.

Not only can they endure, haven't you heard that the Human Emperor Palace ancestor has promised to apologize tomorrow?

Sigh, it would be great if the Human Emperor Palace could be a bit braver.

Everyone was hoping the Human Emperor Palace would lose patience and act first, so they would have a reason to counterattack without having to sneak around.

Most importantly, they must not deal a killing blow or injure lives; this is also Qi Xiong's sole demand.

No matter how the disciples cause a ruckus, they must not cause loss of life.

Upon hearing the disciples' discussion, Xu Jie, the initiator of all this, spoke with a solemn expression.

Alright, this move was merely meant to disgust the Human Emperor Palace; it has no real impact on the overall situation, and what matters now is still up to Junior Brother Zhangqing himself.

The journey on the Immortal Ascension Path is probably extremely Xiōngxiǎn.

Xu Jie sighed; upon hearing this, the rest of the fellow disciples also fell into silence.

The reason everyone did this was simply to speak up for Ye Zhangqing's injustice, right?

The Imperial Palace Ancestor forcibly compelled Ye Zhangqing to enter the Ascension Path, and only then did everyone unable to hold back act.

The Imperial Palace Ancestor obviously understood this as well, so he even endured such humiliation; clearly he was determined to have Ye Zhangqing die on the Ascension Path.

Unfortunately, although everyone was worried, they were utterly helpless and could not help at all.

The elders had already decided to let only a few Top Prodigies enter the Ascension Path; even though they were Inner Disciples, they had no qualification this time.

Therefore, even if they wanted to help Ye Zhangqing share some pressure, there was nothing they could do.

Everything now depended solely on Ye Zhangqing himself.

The Imperial Palace's forbearance is truly not what all the Shī xiōng wish to see.

The next day, on the main square, the elders, together with the Inner Disciples of Dao Yi Shengdi and the Imperial Palace's disciple representatives, were likewise all Inner Disciples.

Everyone gathered on the Zhu Feng square, with many more people crowding around.

The Divine clan, the Heavenly clan, the Netherworld clan, Yongye, the Imperial Palace, and Dao Yi Shengdi all had representatives present.

At this moment, the elders stood on the high platform before the main hall, while Xu Jie and the others stood opposite the Imperial Palace's Inner Disciples.

Their gazes locked, and the eyes of the Imperial Palace's Inner Disciples seemed ready to spit fire.

Under the eyes of the crowd, apologizing to Dao Yi Shengdi is nothing short of murderous intent; clearly they are the victims of the Imperial Palace, yet now they are forced to bow their heads and apologize.

But not doing it is also impossible; last night, the Grand Elder and the others specifically reiterated to everyone, saying that a small lack of forbearance will ruin great plans.

Therefore, there was no need for the elders to speak; they already knew what to do.

Faced with the Imperial Palace's disciples' murderous gazes, on the Dao Yi Shengdi side, Xu Jie spoke with a sneer.

"Come on, aren't you supposed to kowtow and apologize? Let's begin."

"You.................."

"This matter is the fault of my Imperial Palace."

Upon hearing this, an Imperial Palace disciple gritted his teeth, wanting to shout angrily, but was stopped by the leading Shī xiōng; immediately he looked expressionlessly at Xu Jie and the others and said.

Having spoken, he didn't wait for Xu Jie and the others to respond, turning around and intending to leave.

But Xu Jie wouldn't let him have his way; seeing this, he immediately sneered and called out.

"What did you say? I didn't hear."

"You, Dao Yi Shengdi, don't go too far."

"Ha, is this the attitude of your Imperial Palace? If so, then forget it."

Xu Jie obviously wanted to deliberately provoke these Imperial Palace disciples; as long as they dared to act, he couldn't guarantee absolute success, but he could still try to ruin the Ascension Path affair.

The Yun Xiantai on the high platform obviously also understood Xu Jie's thoughts; thus, as Xu Jie provoked, he also looked toward the Imperial Palace Ancestor and let out a cold snort, saying.

"Hmph, if your Imperial Palace doesn't want this apology, then forget it; my Dao Yi Shengdi doesn't even value such an apology."

"You..............."

Upon hearing this, the Imperial Palace Ancestor immediately turned his head, glaring angrily, but soon forcibly suppressed his anger.

He naturally knew exactly what the Dao Yi Shengdi was planning; having finally managed to force Ye Zhangqing onto the Ascension Path, he naturally could not allow any mishap.

Therefore, the Imperial Palace Ancestor once again gritted his teeth and endured, first tolerating the temporary humiliation; after killing Ye Zhangqing, he would slowly deal with the Dao Yi Shengdi, making sure that at that time the Dao Yi Shengdi would be unable to live or die.

Even a dog of the Dao Yi Shengdi, he would not let it die so easily.

Although his heart burned with fury, the Imperial Palace Ancestor still gave the leading Imperial Palace disciple a warning glance, its meaning already self-evident.

Sensing his own ancestor's warning glance, the leading Inner Disciple, even though his teeth were about to shatter, still turned around and, facing Xu Jie and the others, bowed respectfully to apologize.

"Senior Shī xiōng, this is the fault of my Imperial Palace; I hope the senior Shī xiōng will not hold the mistakes of a petty person against us and give us a chance to correct."

His tone was icy and bitter, and faintly one could hear the sound of gnashing teeth, yet his attitude was impeccable.

Seeing this, Xu Jie and the others all flashed a look of disappointment in their eyes; they really held it in.

But the crowd also didn't want to just let the Human Emperor Huánggōng off so easily; seeing this, Xu Jie said lightly.

"Attitude not bad, but it's just you alone—what about the others? Could it be you intend to shoulder this alone? Are the others not at fault?"

Speaking, Xu Jie's gaze also swept over the crowd of Inner Disciples of the Human Emperor Huánggōng.
