Chapter 1376: Chapter 1370: Idiots
Su Chen and Li Xinnian entered the Peerless Hall.
The Heavenly Venerate Xuan’er from sixty thousand years ago returned to the Peerless Hall.
Like the Peerless War God returning to his throne after sinking into oblivion for sixty thousand years, he slaughtered his way through.
Whether it was the formidable array formations of the Peerless Hall capable of killing Body Integration realm experts, or the half-immortals who had prepared in advance within the hall, none could stop Su Chen’s advance.
It seemed that all obstacles in Su Chen’s eyes were nothing but paper.
He quietly fought his way toward Mu Xueqing’s location, determined to end their past grievances, his gaze unwavering.
Li Xinnian, hiding in the shadows, remained concealed.
He found Su Chen’s current, overwhelming display of power hard to believe.
But more than that, he felt anxiety over their current predicament, along with a degree of dissatisfaction toward Su Chen’s reckless actions!
No matter how formidable Su Chen was at this moment, they were currently in the Imperial Capital.
“Eldest Brother!”
Li Xinnian clenched his fists and appeared beside Su Chen without hesitation, suppressing the anger in his heart.
He had wasted many years in the small village, waiting to change Nangong Qingya’s reincarnated memories. He had even pinned his hopes on Su Chen.
But he never expected that the present Su Chen, having completed his mortal transformation and gained tremendous strength, still hadn’t changed his centuries-old habit of acting entirely on his own whims.
He could even foresee that the Imperial Capital had already dispatched experts to rescue the Peerless Hall, and that he and Su Chen were already trapped in an encirclement.
A glimmer of hope still lingered in Li Xinnian’s eyes.
He hoped that Su Chen’s centuries of mortal transformation had given him more than just recklessness, but rather the complete preparation of having carefully strategized before coming to the Peerless Hall.
However, he saw Su Chen silently turn his face toward him. That face showed not the slightest surprise at Li Xinnian’s appearance.
It seemed that during the process of his mortal transformation, Su Chen had already discovered Li Xinnian’s arrival.
Nevertheless, Su Chen still displayed a bit of joy at their reunion after a long separation, as well as a hint of reproach toward Li Xinnian for acting too clever for his own good.
“Xinnian, you shouldn’t have followed me.”
Li Xinnian had a thousand words he wanted to say, yet at this single sentence, he was left utterly speechless.
On the path forward, dangerous and dazzling techniques attempted to breach the hundred-meter radius around Su Chen, but no one in the Peerless Hall could violate that zone.
Su Chen killed a person with every step, advancing toward the very center of the Peerless Hall.
His voice was light and slow, “Past grievances will be erased today. Xinnian, return to the clan and wait for me. Before long, I will go to Azure Cloud Prefecture.”
Li Xinnian’s mind went blank as he watched his eldest brother’s god-like figure moving through as if in an uninhabited land.
The disdain he had felt in his youth toward Su Chen’s obsession with romantic entanglements, and his reckless actions that caused massive disasters, suddenly welled up in his heart.
Even today, centuries later, this eldest brother of his still couldn’t distinguish what was truly important.
The family’s real danger lay in the Southern Frontier, yet he dared to trespass in a place of near-certain death like the Imperial Capital!
“I truly am crazy. I actually pinned my hopes on someone else.”
In this Peerless Hall filled with the sounds of slaughter, even with his eldest brother fighting right in front of him, he felt incredibly lonely and helpless.
A dark gloom gradually crept over his face.
He silently turned and stood up, blocking a white-robed cultivator attempting to flee the Peerless Hall. Amidst the other’s terrified gaze, he placed his hand on the cultivator’s head.
“Who… who are you?!!” the cultivator cried out in panic.
Under Li Xinnian’s hand, his body seemed to no longer belong to him. His soul and life force were rapidly draining away through the hand Li Xinnian had placed on his head!
Yet the gentle and refined demon before him was left with only a numb expression and vacant eyes, murmuring to himself.
“The Old Ancestor told me to do good deeds, to be a good person. Eating people is ultimately wrong, but I have gradually discovered that human nature is inherently evil.”
“The evil lies in stupidity, in being overly cautious and indecisive, in futile compassion and cowardice.”
The cultivator’s eyes widened more and more, filled with bloodshot veins. “What are you talking about?!! Let me go, let me go!!!”
But no matter how he screamed, he could not stop the drain of his life force and Spiritual power.
Everything that was his gradually entered Li Xinnian’s body, granting Li Xinnian an icy and indifferent gaze.
This gaze, rather than being chillingly sinister, became increasingly pure and clear.
He then shifted his gaze toward the back of the invincible Su Chen, his tone flat.
“Evil lies in pinning one’s hopes on useless people.”
“Life is born into a harsh journey, and all ‘evils’ are but stumbling blocks before riding the wind and breaking the waves. Perhaps I should just…”
“Eat you all.”
The cultivator turned into a mummified corpse.
Feeling the abundant Spiritual power surging through his body after not devouring a cultivator for many years, as the mummified corpse crashed to the ground—leaving only terrified, contorted limbs and a twisted face—Li Xinnian’s flesh and soul felt an unprecedented sense of comfort.
A profound realization blossomed in his heart.
He silently descended upon the Peerless Hall, unscrupulously utilizing demonic cultivation methods with an utterly pure original heart.
Devouring heaven and earth.
……
In the Imperial Capital.
Regarding Su Chen’s recklessness and arrogance, it almost made the two people curse out loud.
One was Zishu Feng.
Upon hearing Li Kuanghua’s request, she had already intercepted them in the cloudy sky above the Imperial Capital.
As Su Chen slaughtered his way into the Peerless Hall, countless divine senses from experts hidden within the Grotto-Heavens and Blessed Lands in the clouds above the Imperial Capital pried into the situation.
She even heard the divine sense of the Imperial Empress issuing orders to the experts of all factions: eradicate Su Chen, and capture Li Xinnian.
Regarding this blatant intrusion into the Peerless Hall, Zishu Feng had only one word for Su Chen and the younger generation of the Li Clan: stupid.
The other person was the arriving Li Wei.
“Fucking idiots!”
Li Wei never dreamed that the very first thing Su Chen would do after successfully completing his mortal transformation would be to barge into the Peerless Hall all by himself.
It would have been fine if he had made preparations, but the current situation was that experts from the entire Imperial Capital were closing in, alongside omnipresent prying eyes!
This kid Su Chen hadn’t even scouted ahead or prepared a means of escape.
He didn’t even realize that Li Xinnian was also plunging into a desperate situation.
In the Imperial Capital, there was the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion.
Although this faction was constantly caught in unprovoked disasters of being ‘framed’ or ‘wrongly accused’, no one in the entire Imperial Dynasty considered the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion weak.
Their spies were embedded in all major factions of the world, and their ability to calculate heavenly secrets was something even Li Yaowen struggled to cope with.
Having already entered the Imperial Capital, Li Xinnian and Su Chen had nowhere to run!
Thus, the ultimate pressure fell upon him, the Old Ancestor, and Zishu Feng, who was constantly rolling her eyes beside him.
This woman with many identities was surely swinging wildly between distress and her promise to Li Kuanghua.
Numerous cultivators of the Imperial Dynasty arrived.
The Peerless Hall, once wanted by the Imperial Dynasty, was now one of the most vital communication channels between the imperial court and the immortals beneath the Blood Moon.
Through years of preparation, the perverse and tyrannical Min Tiange had stepped to the forefront of the Heavenly Palace’s imperial court.
Immense benefits allowed the powerful nobles and officials of the Imperial Dynasty to accept the Empress’s blatant falsehoods.
Immortals were seen as a blessing, and Min Tiange as a loyal subject.
Today, after receiving the Empress’s orders, Sect Master Wang Jinhu of the Heavenly Light Sect unhesitatingly went to seek Patriarch Heavenly Light.
Patriarch Heavenly Light remained completely silent, leaving him no choice but to lead the unorthodox cultivators of the Heavenly Light Sect straight into the cloudy sky to reinforce the Peerless Hall.
Upon reaching the cloudy sky, they also saw Perfected Qinghe of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion.
The cultivators of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion held array discs, their white robes snapping in the wind.
Following them were the Immortal Suppression Department, the Imperial Protectors Guard, the Emberwing Guard, the Divine Temple…
These absolute peak factions under the Imperial Dynasty all dispatched experts.
Each faction possessed methods capable of contending with the Body Integration realm.
However, most of them bore a trace of dissatisfaction between their brows.
Amidst the current grand scheme of the world, they too were forced to sway according to the Empress’s power.
The Peerless Hall, a calamity to the world, had suddenly become a faction standing shoulder-to-shoulder with them and even required their protection—who could easily swallow that?
The powerful shockwaves transmitting from within the Peerless Hall caused the Imperial Capital cultivators, who had come to encircle and hunt, to furrow their brows even deeper, wondering where the Azure Cloud Li Clan got such audacity.
Launching a surprise attack on the Peerless Hall within the Imperial Capital was practically tantamount to suicide.
However, it also fully demonstrated the madness and absolute resolution of the Azure Cloud Li Clan members.
“Sigh.” Wang Jinhu waved his hand.
The seniors governing the puppet methods within the Heavenly Light Sect, along with hundreds of the cave’s retainers, had already gathered with the various factions.
These factions were somewhat at odds with each other, but this sudden order to protect the Peerless Hall brought them together.
They marched out silently and with murderous intent toward the Peerless Hall.
Reaching the front lines, a person from the Imperial Capital’s Divine Temple arrived before the cultivators of the various factions, causing the arriving members of all factions to look displeased.
The Divine Temple.
The Imperial Dynasty possessed numerous factions.
In the past, when the Imperial Dynasty waged war to conquer the world, the Human Emperor was favored by the heavens, so naturally, making offerings to heaven and performing sacrifices were indispensable.
The duty of the people in the Divine Temple was much like the uncivilized people of the Wu Tribe—chanting the immortal language that existed only in ancient times, conveying the will of heaven to the Human Emperor on behalf of the heavens.
During times of war in the past, this was an extremely vital faction for the Human Emperor.
However, after the Imperial Dynasty was established and the Human Emperor suppressed the world, the high-spirited Human Emperor stated bluntly in the imperial court that the Divine Temple was nothing but dogshit.
After such a simple and crude sentence, the Divine Temple, which once communicated the will of heaven, fled and went into hiding, only daring to swagger back into the Imperial Dynasty today.
The world was in chaos, the Human Emperor no longer attended court, and the Empress had gained the Divine Temple under her command.
Only this time, the Divine Temple conveyed the will of heaven on behalf of the Empress.
This Divine Temple cultivator walking to the front wore incredibly magnificent clothing: a black outfit with the vast starry galaxy outlined using powerful materials.
His skin was as pale as a corpse, and mysterious black characters were inscribed on his face.
As he walked, ripples resembling nebulas spawned beneath his black boots.
Wherever his eyes—which seemed to be heavily lined with makeup—looked, it sent a bone-deep chill through people.
The people of the Divine Temple were few, but every single one of them who appeared always exuded an aura of mystery and overwhelming power.
Then, this tall Divine Temple cultivator stared at the woman waiting quietly in front of the Peerless Hall.
Despite his youthful appearance, he issued an old, hoarse warning,
“Zishu Feng, Fifth Princess. I heard you took a trip to the Southern Frontier. In worldly affairs, it is always better to act in accordance with the will of heaven.”
The Fifth Princess!
The arrivals from the major factions of the Imperial Dynasty all revealed expressions of shock.
The truly powerful descendants of the Human Emperor were still the batch that had once waged war across the world alongside him.
The princes and princesses born later were all merely seeds the Human Emperor accidentally left behind for pure physical pleasure, and through the exhausted methods of the major factions striving for so-called ‘bloodline’ and the ‘Crown Prince’s throne’.
None of those former imperial bloodlines were simple.
This Fifth Princess… had lived for over a hundred thousand years. To think that even she had gotten involved in the Li Clan’s surprise attack on the Peerless Hall?
Zishu Feng surveyed the cultivators from all directions.
Although she inwardly criticized the Li Clan’s actions quite a bit, the people of the Li Clan were right behind her, so she couldn’t show cowardice.
She raised an eyebrow and said to the Divine Temple cultivator,
“Looking at your attire, you are the Junior Commander of Destiny of the Divine Temple.
Instead of properly managing your blessings and disasters, you come to manage whether I comply with or defy heaven?”
“I am a princess of the Imperial Dynasty; am I someone a charlatan like you can control?”
The Junior Commander of Destiny remained expressionless, showing not the slightest fear toward Zishu Feng’s identity.
Seeing the Junior Commander of Destiny remain utterly silent instead made Zishu Feng’s heart pound wildly.
This Imperial Dynasty had become so unfamiliar that a mere Junior Commander of Destiny didn’t even put her in his eyes.
