Deep within the Beiliang Prince's manor.
"Crack~"
Upon hearing the news from the Imperial City, the white jade teacup in the Beiliang Prince's hand shattered, turning into dust. "How dare they! To lay hands on the son of the Beiliang Prince!"
"Seeking death!!!"
The Beiliang Prince had sent his son to the Imperial City initially to inspect his future territory and to probe the Imperial City's defenses. Unexpectedly, not only did he fail to discover anything, but his son was beaten, and even his spatial ring was snatched away.
If he didn't retaliate for this matter, how could the Beiliang Prince establish himself in the Galactic Empire? How could he ascend to the position of Galactic Emperor and rule the world in the future!
"That brat must die!!"
The Beiliang Prince made up his mind. Just then, he received a telepathic message from someone who supported him, the Tenth Elder of the Fentian Holy Land, who also backed the Pingtian King.
The Tenth Elder of the Fentian Holy Land was named the Old Man in Linen. His strength was heaven-shattering, reaching the fifth stage of Dao Ancestor, making him extremely formidable.
"Indeed!"
"My lord, rest assured. That brat named Ye Xuan must die. Consider it as..."
After a pause, the Beiliang Prince continued, "A warm-up before we annihilate the Emperor and his faction."
"Soon, I will join forces with the Pingtian King to kill this brat!!"
As he spoke, a surging killing intent emanated from the Beiliang Prince, filling the sky. It was no joke; even if the Old Man in Linen hadn't given the order, he would have killed that brat. Only by reducing him to ashes could his hatred be appeased.
After the telepathic transmission ended, the Beiliang Prince turned his gaze towards the Imperial City, ambition and greed surging in his eyes. "Since that's the case, then the plan to annihilate Ji Wutian shall commence earlier!"
"Guards, summon all the guest elder ancestors. They will accompany me to kill that brat named Ye Xuan!"
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Immediately, a fourth-stage Void Ancestor expert from the Pingliang Prince's manor bowed and retreated.
After his subordinate departed, the Pingliang Prince let out a sigh of relief. "Ye Xuan!"
"Very well, no matter who is behind you, you will die this time!!"
A sinister smile crept onto his lips. The Pingliang Prince then flashed and left the hall. Once this brat was dealt with, it would be time to annihilate the Emperor and his faction. "Ji Wutian, my good nephew, don't blame your uncle this time."
It's all your fault that your lineage stole my grandfather's position as Emperor back then.
Perhaps Ji Wutian didn't even know that after the Pingliang Prince's grandfather failed to compete for the imperial throne, although he saved his life, he soon died of grief and anger after reaching his enfeoffed territory.
...
While the Pingliang Prince and his faction plotted against Ye Xuan, a major event was unfolding in the Sky Serpent Hall.
Sky Serpent Hall, Headquarters.
As one of the ten super-powers in the Galactic Empire, the Sky Serpent Hall's strength was no weaker than the Guiyuan Sect, at least before Ye Xuan went to the Guiyuan Sect.
Nowadays, the Sky Serpent Hall probably couldn't even compare to the Guiyuan Sect's strength!
What a joke?
After all, Ye Xuan's [Ancestral Breaking Pill] and [Dao Breaking Pill] were not mere boasts!
To say nothing else, with Dongfang Wenren cultivating on the second level of the Linglong Pagoda, even if he hadn't broken through to the fifth stage of Dao Ancestor, he was not far from it, and he was completely incomparable to the likes of the Sky Serpent Hall.
As for the other ancestors and Void Ancestor level experts, it goes without saying, they were several tiers above the Sky Serpent Hall!
"Ancestor Tengshe, has he not returned yet?"
Somewhere in the Sky Serpent Hall, the Hall Master of the Sky Serpent Hall spoke to a subordinate beside him. They had joined forces with the Jiang clan and the Emperor's lineage of the Canglan Empire to围杀 the Emperor Ji Wutian, which was also a test.
"Not yet!"
"And the Jiang clan and the Canglan Empire's Emperor's faction have no news. It's highly likely that..."
Although this subordinate did not finish speaking, the Hall Master of the Sky Serpent Hall already knew what he meant. With so many experts seemingly vanishing into thin air, it was highly probable that they had all perished.
However...
What the Hall Master of the Sky Serpent Hall couldn't figure out was that their actions were extremely secretive, and even the ancestors of the Emperor's lineage were unaware. Even in his prime, Ji Wutian was no match for any of the three factions. What force could simultaneously annihilate three factions, and what's more!
The most terrifying thing was that there wasn't even a chance to send a message.
"Could it be... from the Haotian Immortal Kingdom??"
Chii~~
At this moment, a sound of breaking air was heard. The next instant, a Void Ancestor level expert from the Sky Serpent Hall died on the spot without even a chance to react. Then, a person appeared in the field. This person's strength was clearly at the sixth stage of Void Ancestor.
However, then...
Figures appeared in the field. Without exception, every single figure was no weaker than this sixth-stage Void Ancestor expert. This group of people were all clad in black cloaks, like phantoms in the night.
"Zhan Jue!"
"Sky Serpent Hall, kill all experts above the fifth stage Venerable, leave no one alive!!"
A majestic voice emanated, and the aura surrounding this person was at the sixth stage of Dao Ancestor. He was none other than an ancestor of the Galactic Empire, named Ji Luotian.
Behind him were a total of ten Dao Ancestor experts. The weakest was a second-stage Dao Ancestor, while the rest were above the sixth-stage Void Ancestor realm, numbering over a hundred. This demonstrated the immense power of this formation.
Of course!
Even so, this formation was merely the tip of the iceberg of the Galactic Empire's top combat power. With the accumulation of countless years, no one knew how powerful the Galactic Empire truly was.
"Kill!!!"
With a single command, over a hundred experts immediately launched into a massacre.
"Not good!"
"Enemy attack, quickly, notify all ancestors... No!!"
Before the Hall Master of the Sky Serpent Hall could finish speaking, he was struck down by a palm strike from a Dao Ancestor expert. What a joke!
In front of a Dao Master level being, a mere peak fifth-stage Void Ancestor was extremely weak.
"Bastard, who dares to trespass into my Sky Serpent Hall!!"
At this moment, the strongest ancestor of the Sky Serpent Hall, a being one step away from the fourth-stage Dao Ancestor, appeared on the scene. He unleashed a strike, but the fifth-stage Dao Ancestor expert of the Galactic Empire, who had not made a move until now, met it with a palm strike. In an instant, a devastating palm strike sent the strongest ancestor of the Sky Serpent Hall flying.
Boom!!
The residual shockwave alone reduced the Sky Serpent Hall's buildings to ruins. The Sky Serpent Hall's fourth-stage Dao Ancestor was instantly sent flying dozens of feet away, spitting blood along the way. Finally, he managed to stop his momentum, his eyes wide with disbelief as he looked at the person opposite him. "You... You are at the fifth stage of Dao Ancestor, how is this possible!!"
The strongest ancestor of the Sky Serpent Hall looked at the black-robed elder opposite him. Just before his consciousness dissipated, the black-robed elder's words finally reached his ears, "To provoke my Galactic Emperor, the Sky Serpent Hall is too audacious!"
What!!
As the words fell, the pupils of the strongest ancestor of the Sky Serpent Hall constricted abruptly. "You are... ancestors of the Galactic Empire's Emperor's lineage!!!"
At the moment of his death, the strongest ancestor of the Sky Serpent Hall understood the truth, and at the same time, he realized that perhaps... the current Galactic Emperor Ji Wutian was not dead.
But how was it possible? Three factions joining forces to kill a second-stage Dao Ancestor and still failing? What happened during this period~~
