Chapter 964: Chapter 509: Eighth Life: The Army at the Gates, Calamity of Annihilation

Lu Yuan killed Zhou Xun?

This news had just spread.

The entire Great Li Dynasty was thrown into an uproar.

Who is Zhou Xun?

He is the Third Prince of the Great Li Dynasty, the most beloved descendant of the Great Li Ancestor from the Royal Family.

Moreover, as some powerful individuals know.

Zhou Xun had excellent innate talent, seemingly valued by an Outer Sect Elder from the Divine Fire Sect who took him in as a Named Disciple.

As long as he could obtain the Celestial Mandate Inheritance, he could become an Official Disciple, soaring to the skies and completely leap out of the pond of the Great Li Dynasty.

But who would have thought that Zhou Xun, who carried such high hopes, would meet his demise at the hands of Lu Yuan?

"Is it true? Although Lu Yuan is talented, he has cultivated for too short a time, possessing only Soul Palace Realm Cultivation."

"Zhou Xun, as the Third Prince of Great Li, could even defeat a Half-Step Celestial Destiny Great Power, how could he possibly be killed by Lu Yuan?"

"The Great Li Ancestor personally said it, so could it be false?"

"It’s said that Zhou Xun had successfully comprehended Void Dao Laws at the time, just one step away from obtaining the Celestial Mandate Inheritance, but at the critical moment, he was ambushed by Lu Yuan and ultimately fell with hatred."

"So the Third Prince was tragically ambushed, no wonder he met his end at the hands of others."

"The Great Li Ancestor is thunderously furious, Lu Yuan has stirred up a massive trouble this time, even the Cyan Cloud Sect can’t protect him!"

Many powerful individuals discussed.

"Killed well, this person is arrogant and presumptuous, never taking others into account, and has finally gotten his comeuppance now!"

Originally stressed and sleepless, the Taixuan Sect Ancestor laughed loudly, applauding and wishing to see Lu Yuan fall at the hands of the Great Li Ancestor immediately.

"Impossible, Lu Yuan is upright and chivalrous, he has saved my younger sister and me multiple times, he’s certainly not the kind of sinister person who strikes from behind!"

Lin Hao, upon hearing the news, immediately voiced his rebuttal.

"Indeed, although we weren’t present at the time, Lu Yuan had long been able to slay the Thousand-year-old Ink Flood Dragon beneath the Jade Void Palace."

"With his Power, he could easily defeat Zhou Xun even in a direct confrontation."

"Moreover, Zhou Xun, being the Third Prince of Great Li, had many life-saving means, how could he be entirely unguarded, letting others approach him easily?"

Lin Xuan frowned slightly, analyzing calmly.

"If what you say is true, then the Great Li Ancestor is deliberately stirring things up to destroy Cyan Cloud Sect in one stroke."

A bright shine flashed through the eyes of the Lin Family patriarch, immediately sensing the core of the matter.

Throughout history.

Whenever two sects go to war, they must have a justified reason.

If Lu Yuan merely killed Zhou Xun, Cyan Cloud Sect would only need to abandon Lu Yuan to the Royal Family’s disposal while paying some reparations to survive the crisis.

And the Royal Family, constrained by public opinion, couldn’t thoroughly annihilate Cyan Cloud Sect without reservation.

But if Lu Yuan seized the Celestial Mandate Inheritance from Zhou Xun, the nature of the matter changes.

At that time, the Great Li Dynasty could use this opportunity to flatten Cyan Cloud Sect and proceed to take Lu Yuan and the Celestial Mandate Inheritance with justification.

Moreover, the Great Li Ancestor holds the Celestial Mandate, ruling the world, and even if he turns black to white, no one dares to question his words.

And so, the next morning, a minister tearfully accused in the court.

"Cyan Cloud Sect killed the Prince of Great Li and seized the Celestial Mandate Inheritance, dishonoring the Royal Family’s prestige, truly deserving death!"

"I implore Your Majesty to immediately dispatch troops to hunt down this gang of bandits!"

"Approved!"

The Great Li Monarch, expressionless, coldly replied.

As orders were passed down, the Great Li Dynasty’s war machine started operating at a remarkable speed.

Troops assembled, warships soared.

The Great Li Ancestor personally emerged, leading thousands of Imperial Race experts to rise into the sky, swearing to eradicate Cyan Cloud Sect in one fell swoop!

"Cyan Cloud Sect is finished, the Great Li Ancestor has come in person to punish, no matter how talented Lu Yuan is, he is destined to die this time!"

"An innocent man with a prized jewel is guilty, the Celestial Mandate Inheritance is good, but it’s not something anyone can touch."

Upon learning of this news, other factions shook their heads, not optimistic about Cyan Cloud Sect’s fate.

On the other side.

Han Qingxuan, after emerging, learned of the matter from other Elders, immediately revealing a cold smile, realizing the Great Li Ancestor’s intent.

"The Great Li Royal Family throwing mud at us with such zeal, they want to annihilate our Cyan Cloud Sect completely."

Anyone who can become a Sect Master is a seasoned fox, sweeping away any doubt about the Great Li Ancestor’s obscure intent?

On the surface, the Great Li Ancestor avenges Zhou Xun, but actually, he uses the topic opportunistically, wishing to force Lu Yuan to hand over the Celestial Mandate Inheritance in this opportunity.

Moreover, the Great Li Royal Family is increasingly prosperous, long harboring ambitions to disrupt and merge all forces.

His actions also serve to first test Cyan Cloud Sect, gauging the attitude and response from other sects.

"Since the Great Li Ancestor is aggressively pressing, we can only fight to the death!"

Han Qingxuan snorted coldly, immediately convening all Hall Masters to discuss the matter, deciding to activate the sect’s Grand Array and ready all disciples and elders for battle.

However, some disciples and elders feared Royal Family’s vengeance, arguing the matter was Lu Yuan’s own doing, and should not involve them.

Strongly suggesting to hand Lu Yuan over to pacify Royal Family’s fury.

"Sect Master, this matter is unrelated to us, do you intend for the entire sect to be buried alongside Lu Yuan?"

Law Enforcement Hall Master Yan Xing turned livid, bluntly rebuffing.
