Chapter 1381 The World in Motion
A mighty army besieges the city, and the powerful roam freely!
The atmosphere throughout the Sky City instantly became oppressive and tense following the news of the Jade Hall Ship Master’s death!
In an instant,
Many cultivators in the city feared for their lives, feeling anxious!
Something major has happened!
Something truly major is about to happen!
At this moment,
Inside a magnificent golden mansion.
An elderly man in black robes sat motionless at the head position, holding a teacup that he had not lowered for a long time!
Below him,
Seven people stood silently.
These seven individuals, some with celestial bodies, some with celestial souls, both men and women, emanated powerful and vigorous auras. Any one of them could be considered a formidable contender in the world, yet now they stood cautiously before this elder, not daring to make a sound!
“Crack!”
Suddenly,
The teacup in the elder’s hand shattered without warning, ceramic fragments scattering to the floor with a jarring sound!
“Respected Elder, please accept our condolences!”
The seven ship masters of the Spirit Clan felt their hearts contract, almost simultaneously dropping to one knee and speaking loudly.
“My son is dead!”
“Slain at Taixu Lake, and we don’t even know who did it!”
Elder Lingyao said expressionlessly.
But a tear silently slid down from his cloudy eyes!
This man of great importance in the Spirit Clan was now heartbroken and weeping over the death of his son.
“Respected Elder!”
The seven ship masters felt goosebumps rising all over their bodies!
Elder Lingyao had his son late in life and treasured him immensely, passing on all his life’s knowledge to the Jade Hall Ship Master!
Originally, the Jade Hall Ship Master lacked talent and struggled to condense a celestial soul, but Elder Lingyao had forcibly killed five powerful cultivators with celestial souls, refining their soul essence to help his son become a celestial soul master!
Elder Lingyao saw him as the continuation of his life, a ray of dawn in his decaying existence.
But now!
That ray of light was extinguished!
“What does the City Lord say?”
Elder Lingyao asked in a hoarse voice.
“The City Lord is in seclusion, but the Xuanjia Army has been deployed and will fully investigate this matter!”
One ship master hastily replied.
“The eight ship masters of the Spirit Clan share the same roots, you all set out together, yet only my son died along the way!”
“Within three days, I want to know who the killer is! Otherwise, you seven will accompany my son in death!”
After speaking, Elder Lingyao slowly closed his eyes.
The seven ship masters’ pupils contracted upon hearing this, feeling both angry and urgent!
Because they knew Elder Lingyao might actually do such a thing,
Kill them all!
Meanwhile,
In a spacious room,
The Extreme North Emperor sat alone, his expression so dark it seemed water could drip from it!
Recently, the North Divine Mountain had truly been unfortunate,
First, the Young Divine Master Jun Tian was publicly executed, then the North Divine Master also died tragically in the Taixu Ancient Forest. Their North Divine Mountain had almost become a joke, a clown in the eyes of the world!
To change this situation,
The Extreme North Emperor made a decisive move, first supporting Zhu Guang as the new Young Divine Master to stabilize the situation, then joining forces with the Spirit Clan and West Divine Mountain to set a trap, planning to kill the East Divine Master and his group to restore their divine prestige!
But not long ago,
Under the siege of many powerful cultivators, the East Divine Master actually managed to escape!
And now,
News of Zhu Guang’s death had arrived!
In just a few short years,
Their North Divine Mountain had lost one Divine Master and two Young Divine Masters!
If this news spread, how would the world view their North Divine Mountain?
“Bang!”
The Extreme North Emperor’s expression twisted with rage, no longer able to suppress his anger. He violently smashed the table before him to pieces, roaring:
“Fine, fine, fine! Now anyone dares to bully our North Divine Mountain, even a Young Divine Master can die while riding a ship? Are the Spirit Clan people all eating shit?”
“Ancestor North Emperor, please calm your anger!”
“On that ship, the Spirit Clan people were also completely wiped out! The most important thing now is to find out who the killer is!”
“Right! People outside are watching us now. If we can’t find the killer, the face of our three forces will be completely lost!”
Several elders of the North Divine Mountain’s Divine Pavilion spoke up.
The Extreme North Emperor looked at the elders, his expression shifting unpredictably. Just as he was about to speak,
At that moment,
The West Divine Master strode in quickly with many powerful cultivators!
“Have you found the person?”
The Extreme North Emperor immediately asked.
“No! That East Divine Master seems to have vanished into thin air. I’ve searched throughout Sky City but couldn’t find him!”
The West Divine Master wore a worried expression, and continued:
“It’s also the fault of the City Lord’s mansion for not cooperating. If they had cooperated, how could the East Divine Master escape so easily in this city?”
“You are truly useless!”
“The Spirit Clan people are also eating shit, the same clan yet with two different voices! Had I known this would happen, I should never have brought the Spirit Clan into this!”
The Extreme North Emperor’s expression was ice-cold!
Hearing these words, the West Divine Master immediately responded sternly:
“Extreme North Emperor, stop taking your anger out on me! No one wanted this situation to happen! Now it’s not just Zhu Guang who died, Mo Wushuang is also dead! My West Divine Mountain is also a victim!”
The Extreme North Emperor slowly closed his eyes, trying hard to control his emotions!
A person of his stature,
Had not lost composure like this for tens of thousands of years!
The recent series of events had dealt him too great a blow!
“Could it be that the Absolute Heaven Saint saved the East Divine Master?”
The Extreme North Emperor opened his eyes, now clear, calm, and indifferent.
“Impossible! The Absolute Heaven Saint is being held up by the people above! He has no time to save anyone right now!”
“Moreover, given the Absolute Heaven Saint’s personality, if he knew someone was trying to kill his son, he wouldn’t simply rescue him. He would certainly spare no effort to investigate the matter thoroughly and kill everyone involved in the ambush!”
The West Divine Master directly denied this possibility.
“Are you suggesting that in this city, there are others who dare to oppose us? Someone who rescued the East Divine Master, is that it?”
The Extreme North Emperor asked.
The West Divine Master fell silent at these words!
He had also pondered this matter carefully,
Though it seemed impossible, this was the only reasonable explanation!
Earlier, when so many of them surrounded the East Divine Master, all the elders of the East Divine Mountain’s Divine Pavilion died in battle, and only the East Divine Master, dragging his severely injured body, broke through the encirclement with the help of treasures!
Under these circumstances,
How could the East Divine Master leave no trace until now without someone’s help?
“There are very few people in Sky City with the courage to defy our will! Only the people from the City Lord’s mansion could accomplish this.”
The Extreme North Emperor said expressionlessly.
The West Divine Master’s pupils contracted upon hearing this, and for a moment he dared not respond!
The City Lord possessed extraordinary methods and unfathomable strength. Recently, his disciple had also gained fame, receiving the baptism of the Immortal Dao’s origin, and was regarded as an immortal seedling by many ancient figures.
If the City Lord’s mansion truly wanted to protect the East Divine Master,
Then this matter would become complicated!
“Let’s do this: you continue searching for the East Divine Master, and I’ll go discuss this matter with Elder Lingyao!”
The Extreme North Emperor rubbed his brow, speaking somewhat wearily.
