Chapter 175: The Death of the Offering
After Tuoba Ye took over the county city, it wasn’t long before the county magistrate and his group, who had fled the county, arrived in the prefectural city.
"Lord Prefect, you must stand up for us…"
"What happened? Didn’t the provincial government send cultivators to eradicate those rebels?" the prefect frowned and asked.
"I don’t know; we didn’t see anyone sent from above…"
"Lord Prefect, among the rebels are cultivators. They possess a gigantic sword that can grow as large as the city walls, and with just one stroke, they destroyed the wall. We had no way to resist…"
"What? A sword that can grow as large as the city walls? Are you sure?"
"Absolutely. Many people witnessed it."
"A weapon that can change size is only possible with a king’s weapon. Are you certain you aren’t lying to me? You need to understand that if this matter is reported, and the higher-ups find out it’s different from what you said, your consequences…"
"Lord Prefect, I swear, I saw it with my own eyes. Almost everyone in the county city saw it," the county magistrate hurriedly replied.
"If it really is a king’s weapon, then we’re in trouble. The people sent by the provincial government to suppress the rebellion are likely gone."
"I will arrange for someone to contact the provincial government immediately and report this matter."
Soon, the prefect wrote a letter and activated a small teleportation formation to send the envelope to the provincial government.
Before long, the provincial government received the news from the prefectural city.
Upon hearing this information, the provincial officials quickly relayed it to the imperial capital.
"What? A mere rebel has a king’s weapon? How is that possible?"
Many people receiving the message from the provincial government did not believe it.
They could not accept that a mere rebel could have a king’s weapon.
A king’s weapon is a tier-three tool.
Above the king’s weapon is the sacred artifact and holy weapon, and above that are the imperial weapons and tools.
King’s weapons are generally owned by Integration stage powerhouses.
However, in the entire Yu Hua Divine Dynasty, there were only five Integration stage powerhouses.
Of course, the dynasty also had a Great Ascension stage ancestor, but that ancestor was in a deep slumber and would not awaken unless the dynasty faced danger.
This was also the strongest foundation of the Yu Hua Divine Dynasty.
"Even if it is a king’s weapon, they must have obtained it by luck!"
"Let’s arrange for a Transformation stage cultivator to go take a look."
Two days later, a figure swiftly left the imperial capital, flying toward a county city.
As this figure approached the prefectural city, Li Xiaojun noticed.
He had already marked the Yu Hua Divine Dynasty as an enemy, so whenever a cultivator from the dynasty approached his location, the system map would alert him.
Seeing that it was just a Transformation stage cultivator, Li Xiaojun did not intervene; he simply used his divine sense to observe and see what the other party planned to do.
After the Transformation stage cultivator arrived, he flew directly to the vicinity of the county city and boldly used his divine sense to scan the situation in the county.
Soon, the Transformation stage cultivator spotted the leader of the rebels, Tuoba Ye, in the city.
"Go!"
The next moment, a flying sword, the size of a fingertip, shot out from the mouth of the Transformation stage cultivator, transforming into a flying sword over a meter long.
With a swoosh, the flying sword quickly darted toward the county city.
Its target was Tuoba Ye, who was training new soldiers in the city.
Whoosh!
Just as the flying sword zipped toward Tuoba Ye, ready to eliminate him in an instant, suddenly, the top-grade spiritual weapon on Tuoba Ye’s body moved.
With a swift sound, the top-grade spiritual long sword shot up quickly and struck the incoming flying sword.
With a clash, the returning flying sword was sliced in half by the top-grade spirit roots long sword.
Pff!
In the distance, the Transformation stage cultivator spat out a mouthful of blood.
It turned out that the flying sword was his life’s flying sword, and he did not expect it to be severed immediately, causing him great backlash that hurt his soul.
"What’s happening?"
At that moment, Tuoba Ye finally reacted.
Seeing the flying sword lying on the ground, split in two, he realized someone had attempted to kill him.
He quickly glanced around but saw nothing amiss, except for the fallen flying sword confirming that he had indeed been attacked.
"Weapon spirit, what was that just now?" Tuoba Ye immediately communicated with the weapon spirit.
Soon, the weapon spirit informed Tuoba Ye of what had just happened.
"Weapon spirit, can you help me eliminate the one who ambushed me?" Tuoba Ye quickly asked.
Soon, the top-grade spiritual long sword flew out rapidly!
In the distance, after the Transformation stage cultivator saw his life’s flying sword destroyed, he instinctively sought to escape.
However, a streak of light swiftly approached.
The Transformation stage cultivator spread out his divine sense and naturally noticed the flying long sword coming toward him.
The next moment, his face changed dramatically.
"What kind of king’s weapon is this? This is clearly an imperial weapon…"
The Transformation stage cultivator fled in haste.
While escaping, he prepared all possible defenses.
However, no matter how fast the Transformation stage cultivator ran, he could not match the speed of the top-grade spiritual long sword.
Soon, the top-grade spiritual long sword caught up with the Transformation stage cultivator.
The Transformation stage cultivator pushed all his strength into defense.
However, in the next moment, with a puff, the Divine Transformation cultivator was pierced through by the long sword, and in an instant, his body transformed into a mist of blood.
The body and primordial spirit of the Divine Transformation cultivator were crushed by the long sword.
Soon, the top-grade spiritual long sword flew back.
However, as it returned, it brought back a ring-like item.
This was the storage ring of the Divine Transformation cultivator.
Just as Tuoba Ye was about to eliminate the Divine Transformation cultivator, in the imperial capital, at the hall of offerings, where the soul lamps were stored,
a soul lamp extinguished with a puff.
At the moment the lamp went out, a deep ringing of a bell sounded in the hall of offerings.
"What’s happening?"
"Whose soul lamp went out?"
Soon, several officials from the hall of offerings arrived at the grand hall where the soul lamps were stored.
"It’s Offering Kaimu! Offering Kaimu’s soul lamp has gone out!"
"Who knows what Offering Kaimu was doing?" someone inquired.
"Offering Kaimu seemed to have received orders from above to eliminate a group of farmer rebels," an official explained.
"Report it."
Soon, the situation regarding Offering Kaimu’s extinguished soul lamp was reported to the court.
Hearing that the Divine Transformation stage Offering Kaimu was actually dead, many people in the court were greatly shocked.
When Offering Kaimu’s family heard the news, it was as if a thunderbolt had struck them.
With the loss of their Divine Transformation stage ancestor, their family’s decline was inevitable.
"Everyone, how do you think we should handle this matter?"
In the court, the emperor of the Yu Hua Divine Dynasty was alarmed and immediately convened an imperial meeting.
While the imperial meeting was being held in the Yu Hua Divine Dynasty’s court,
a woman shot out from a place of despair in Shangjingzhou.
Her hair fluttered in the wind, her clothing billowed, and her elongated figure was absolutely stunning.
Her name was Ye Qinxian, and she harbored deep hatred against the Yu Hua Divine Dynasty.
Thousands of years ago, her real brother was killed by the Yu Hua Divine Dynasty, and with a heart full of vengeance, she embarked on the path of cultivation, aiming to avenge her brother.
After thousands of years of cultivation, her level finally ascended from that of a mere mortal to the Great Ascension stage saint level.
The ancestors of the Yu Hua Divine Dynasty were merely saints, and one was even a dying saint.
Thus, after breaking through to the Great Ascension stage, she felt completely unconcerned about her opponents.
So, this time she emerged from her retreat with the intention of destroying the Yu Hua Divine Dynasty and avenging her brother.
