Chapter 1528 572: Heavenly Realm (Part 2)

Even though the Cultivator didn't exert any force, the middle-aged man still flew out, spewing a mouthful of blood. Yet, as if he didn't fear pain, he got up again, staggering forward.

"Give me back my daughter, I'll fight you to the death!!!"

"Courting death!"

The Qi Refining Cultivator was furious, channeling mana to kill.

But the moment he raised his hand, his body turned to ashes, scattering in the air, leaving no trace of body or soul.

"This?!"

The middle-aged man was stunned.

He wasn't the only one.

All the onlookers were frozen, taking a long time to react.

Evaporated!

Vanished without a trace!

Everything happened so suddenly.

So much so that no one noticed it was orchestrated by the one in the White Robe.

Chen Sansi's Divine Sense swept over the shattered soul of the Qi Refining Cultivator, reading his memories, and his expression grew increasingly grim.

This Qi Refining Cultivator was shockingly a lackey of the Imperial Family, sent by the Chen Family!

He opened his Divine Sense, encompassing the entire Eastern Continent.

Within Yunzhou, there was a branch of the Chen Family. After five generations, it was no longer a Prince but a Marquis, yet still the largest power in Yunzhou.

The Yunzhou Chen Family, the current Young Marquis, favored the practice of Dual Cultivation, thus aggressively seizing young girls with Spirit Roots from among the people, even using young boys and girls to create a Slaughter Vein in the back mountain of their residence!

Chen Family!

Chen Family!

Chen Family!!!

This person's surname is Chen!!!

At this moment.

What filled Chen Sansi's heart was not so much anger as shame, immense shame!

He should have thought of it, should have understood, but still made a mistake!

In this world.

There is no such thing as everlasting dynasties!

Even if he stays loyal, those below will change.

Centuries, millenniums of entanglement will eventually form interest groups.

Until the entire dynasty rots away, becoming indistinguishable from before.

No...

There is a difference!

The difference is.

The commoners have no mana.

They could never...

Successfully rebel!

And the reason Chen Sansi was able to overthrow Dasheng back then was due to the Heaven and Earth Seal. There were no Spirit Veins, no Cultivators on the Eastern Continent, only Martial Artists...

Spirit Veins...

Are truly the culprits!!!

He took out the Prayer Bead again, finding the national fate Mystical Energy hadn't increased a trace and was instead constantly fading with time.

Chen Sansi slowly closed his eyes, expanding his Divine Sense once more, covering the entire mortal world, seeing Kunxu Immortal Prison, seeing the Jianlong Emperor, seeing the Thundering Cold Continent.

He couldn't perceive the past or future, but through these images, he could roughly guess what had happened.

Disappointment, shame, anger!

At this moment.

Chen Sansi suddenly made a decision.

All of this.

Should come to an end!

...

Capital City, Kunxu.

Heavenly Palace.

"Oh? Still refusing to confess?"

The Jianlong Emperor's lips curled into a cold smile: "Then there's no need for him to confess, anyway nine out of ten are on the Thundering Cold Continent."

"This old servant understands."

Wei Yuan paused, asking, "Then, how should Wang Zhi be dealt with?"

"Do I need to tell you?!"

The Jianlong Emperor squinted his eyes: "What is the crime of treason, I shouldn't have to repeat it!"

Wei Yuan received the order.

"And!"

The Jianlong continued: "Rebels like Lu Ji and others, there's no need to capture alive, I no longer want to hear them spewing blood, that Qi Cheng and Dongfang Jingxing who escaped, are the same, preferably bring back dead rather than alive."

"Your Majesty, this old servant boldly asks another question."

Wei Yuan said: "The Princesses of the Tian Wu Dynasty..."

"Them, huh."

The Jianlong clicked his tongue: "Spared from death, but stripped of their status. Since they love mortals so much, let them live as mortals."

"This servant will obey."

Wei Yuan turned to take action.

The Jianlong Emperor looked toward a black-robed servant standing in the corner of the hall, and said: "Is the Blood Sacrifice ready?"

"Rest assured, Your Majesty."

The black-robed Cultivator said: "After this Blood Sacrifice, Your Majesty's Spirit Root can be elevated to a Heavenly Spirit Root. From now on, no more bottlenecks, rising smoothly on the Immortal Path."

"Good, very good!"

The Jianlong Emperor was ecstatic: "What are we waiting for, take me there!"

He followed the black-robed Cultivator to a forbidden zone thousands of miles away.

Here, everywhere were remains and infant skulls, below the canyon, viscous blood converged into a river, rushing and roaring, truly a scene of hell!

At the end of the gaze, stood an altar.

Surrounded by blood-red banners, array patterns unfurled from them.

Spirit Ascension Great Formation!

The Jianlong's qualifications were mediocre; to reach this point, he didn't know how many resources, how much effort he expended!

The Chen Family, they must be unparalleled geniuses!

The fate of the court must not be swayed by those old fools, it should be in his own hands!

"Begin!"

With a wave of his sleeve.

But at this moment, on both sides of the canyon, a Transmission Array suddenly opened, dozens of High Realm Cultivators surged out.

"Jianlong!"

The figure of Qi Cheng emerged: "You betray your masters and ancestors, deserving death a thousand times over!"

Behind him was Dongfang Jingxing, along with descendants of the Zhu Family, Zhao Family, Xiong Family, and others forming a team.

"Oh, who might this be."

The Jianlong Emperor remained calm: "Turns out it's Prime Minister Qi, I advise you to stop struggling, I have the Heavenly Mechanism Plate, your methods of peering into the heavenly secrets don't work on me, better surrender and plead guilty, lest you ruin your lifetime of acclaim."

"Bastard!"

Dongfang Jingxing cursed: "Today I will chop off your head and take it to the Heavenly Realm to present to His Majesty Tian Wu!"

"Attack!"

The crowd surged forward.

Yet the Jianlong Emperor was clearly prepared.
