Chapter 177

Zhou Tian covered the wound on his arm, and for a moment the pain made cold sweat pour out.

"Junior brother, I heard you obtained the holy sword—where is the sword?"

Yu Linglong walked out; that strike just now was also her showing mercy.

Otherwise, Zhou Tian's body would have more than just a deep wound down to the bone.

"The holy sword was snatched away by Yang Jun."

"Junior brother, your strength is insufficient; you cannot let them exert their full power, or you'll lose their interest."

Zhou Tian clasped his hands, his face full of shame.

"What are you saying? The holy sword's emergence is a matter of heavenly mandate, yet you claim Yang Jun obtained it!"

"Then the holy sword becomes two, Yang Jun takes one—what about yours?"

Yu Mingyue's face turned dark and grim; at that moment her anger became uncontainable.

"My disciple's holy sword was lost during the autumn hunt, and only Yang Jun could have done that."

Zhou Tian took a deep breath and slowly exhaled.

"Ah, no wonder—my mansion observed the heavens: Purple Forbidden Enclosure shifting east, an ominous star appearing."

"Now, Zhou Tian, do you know what this signifies?"

Yu Mingyue spoke coldly, and Zhou Tian trembled all over.

At this moment, his mind grew even more confused.

One must know that before the master...

... the master had once calculated for him.

That is, the world will fall into chaos, but the heavenly mandate lies with him.

With the rise and fall of the Great Xia dynasty, his heavenly mandate means everything will fall upon him.

But now, the master's words signify that his heavenly mandate will be replaced.

What such a thing represents, Zhou Tian dare not ponder further.

"It's all Yang Jun; if not for him, how could my opportunity have been stolen?"

"It's all him; the seizure of the heavenly mandate is also his doing."

"Back at the Prince's Mansion, we should have killed him with a single sword!"

Zhou Tian, unable to contain his anger, raised his voice and shouted repeatedly.

This matter is truly unbearable for him.

The current problem makes him feel even more unable to endure.

The sect's greatest hope and strongest existence have now become like this.

"You harden your heart—what can you do?"

"Time, luck, fate—since you've missed it, you will have no further chance to seize such an advantage."

Yu Mingyue gave a cold snort and unconsciously shook her head.

For her, such a matter requires considering what comes next.

Toward Zhou Tian before her, the present Yu Mingyue shows no mercy.

"Yang Jun is Yang Ye's only son, which means Yang Ye will surely personally cultivate him."

"Given Yang Ye's strength, Yang Jun must also be formidable."

"This Yang Jun is indeed a formidable opponent."

"However, your greatest failure is not something else."

"Even if the holy sword were lost, it would hardly affect you, one destined by heaven, for those blessed by heaven possess such fortune."

"Your greatest failure is missing the ultimate pure saintly body of extreme yin and extreme cold!"

The more Yu Mingyue spoke, the angrier she became.

At that moment she immediately spoke again, uttering words in succession.

Regarding the current situation, she had repeatedly calculated it, wanting to firmly control everything.

But in the end, everything turned out completely different.

Such matters are all the more surprising.

Zhou Tian lowered his head, daring not to meet Yu Mingyue's gaze.

Especially the anger in her eyes made Zhou Tian even more unwilling to look directly.

"My disciple, following the master's instruction, upon seeing Yun Xi Yue knew she was the ultimate pure saintly body of extreme yin and extreme cold."

"But whenever I tried to seize Yun Xi Yue first, Yang Jun, that shameless wretch, always ruined my plans."

"Mainly because Yun Xi Yue and Yang Jun are betrothed."

"After all, the relationship between Yun Fengyun and Yang Ye is there."

Zhou Tian could only timidly explain in a low voice; regarding this matter, his heart still felt great dissatisfaction.

After all these things, even now Zhou Tian still does not consider them his fault or his problem.

"The founder of the Heavenly Sky Sect was a divine couple; their union created the Dragon Nurturing Divine Technique and the Supreme Bright Divine Skill."

"However, the Supreme Bright Divine Skill is not perfect, but the ancestor knew the world possesses an ultimate pure saintly body; combined with the technique, it must exert its full effect."

"Alas, despite searching their whole lives, the ancestors could never find such a woman."

Yu Mingyue said this, then gave a light sigh and shook her head.

"As your master, I sent you to the capital precisely for the ultimate pure saintly body."

"If you obtain the ultimate pure saintly body of extreme yin and extreme cold, you will fully master the Dragon Nurturing Divine Technique; then not even Yang Jun, nor even Yang Ye, could harm you in the slightest."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Tian let out a faint sigh.

Lost, uneasy, and still filled with resentment.

Zhou Tian lowered his head, looking displeased.

"Nowadays, Yun Xi Yue has married Yang Jun; after all, they already have the name of husband and wife, and the disciple can now accept Yun Xi Yue."

Zhou Tian said this, let out another faint sigh, and gently shook his head.

As for such a situation, to him, he really does not want to face it, but can go resolve it.

"Whether you obtain it or strive for it, it's all up to you."

Yu Mingyue let out another cold snort, and more dissatisfaction flashed in her eyes.

"The problem with this matter lies with you; you yourself have lost your momentum, and without momentum, what can be done to accept Yun Xi Yue?"

"If you obtain the Pure Sacred Body, it is not inferior to this half of the realm."

"By then, whoever dares to block you will be nothing to worry about."

"For the sake of the Pure Sacred Body, shouldn't it be gods slaying gods, Buddhas slaying Buddhas?"

Yu Mingyue spoke again, her words full of anger.

Although things have come to this, it does not mean there is no chance to salvage or change.

Precisely for this reason, the current Yu Mingyue uses this way to warn Zhou Tian, and moreover to remind him, hoping to make him awaken.

Zhou Tian furrowed his brows tightly, and the scattered, low spirits in his eyes gradually gathered.

During this time, I have been completely shrouded by a sense of defeat because of Yang Jun.

Repeated failures have made me completely forget my own heavenly mandate.

I am the one destined by heaven; so what is there to fear when facing Yang Jun now?

Whoever dares to block me will be eliminated together!

"Master, I understand, but this person Yang Jun is full of schemes."

"Furthermore, behind him stands Yang Ye, the Prince Pingxi, giving him support."

"Moreover, there is Emperor Yun Fengyun, even more sinister and cunning; in his person, facing all matters, he has control over everything, truly shameless."

Zhou Tian spoke, and then lowered his head again.

Speaking of these, they are all humiliating.

I, a grand person of the heavenly mandate, have ended up in such a state?
