Chapter 1150: Killing Emissary
The one he was worried about was neither Monarch Chang Sheng or Monarch Yang Zun. Who would harm Mu Xiantian but Zhong Yue himself!
After achieving the seventh secret realm, King Zi Guang started suspecting that a monarch was behind Zhong Yue. Zhong Yue’s background was very vague and clouded, and King Zi Guang was unable to discern his intentions. Though Mu Xiantian’s lady body was powerful, she was still not a monarch, and that meant that she was no match to that monarch lurking around.
If he left Mu Xiantian alone with Zhong Yue, he feared that Zhong Yue would kill Mu Xiantian!
As if he felt the gaze from King Zi Guang, Zhong Yue turned around, and a bright and warm smile appeared on his face as he said, “Senior Martial Brother Zi Guang, you should stop staring at me at my back, you are making me uneasy, it feels just like there is someone pointing a dagger at my back in point black.”
King Zi Guang, on the other hand, returned a smile and moved his vision aside.
Zhongyang Clan, the ancient monarch race that gave birth to five eras of Heavenly Monarch back in the Earth Order Era but now. The once powerful race was not forced into working with Monarch Chang Sheng.
Both Monarch Chang Sheng and Monarch Yang Zun found themselves outpowered by Queen Goddess and Monarch QIng He. Fortunately, as ancient monarch race, they prayed through the altar and summoned the monarch spirits down to aid them.
Throughout these days, Queen Goddess and Monarch Qing He merely surrounded them and no further actions were taken, as they were waiting for the remaining soldiers to arrive. A seemingly endless army surrounded Zhongyang Clan while Feng Wuji led the other generals to attack the Luli Clan and the other sovereign races. Countless gods were captured as prisoners and they were all sent to the Zhongyang Clan.
Seeing this scene, both Monarch Chang Sheng and Monarch Yang Zun inevitably frowned greatly.
And this expression of theirs changed immediately after catching a glimpse of the five monarchs altar being set up in the enemy camps.
“King Yi is here!”
Suddenly, something ticked Monarch Yang Zun off and he looked into the skies, “That ancient ship of King Yi is the only thing I know that can sneak past our Zhongyang Clan’s protective arrays.”
Monarch Chang Sheng raised his head at the same time, finding a massive ancient ship sailing out from the dimensions and arriving at the border of Zhongyang Clan’s sacred ground.
A voice was resounded out coolly, “We are King Yi and King Zi Guang of Xian Tian Palace, greetings, great monarchs.”
The two monarchs exchanged a glance and Monarch Yang Zun laughed, “It is rare for both King Yi and King Zi Guang to visit us! Come, please come in!”
At the same time, another voice burst out laughing, “Heavenly Monarch Wu Ming’s messenger, Yuan Shaotang, is here under Her Majesty’s order to meet with the two great monarchs!”
“Queen Goddess also sent an emissary?”
Monarch Chang Sheng and Monarch Yang Zun looked towards the new visitor, where they saw a Creator and his servants come walking towards Zhongyang Clan’s fortress wall right from the enemy camps.
“Let them in,” ordered Monarch Yang Zun.
After some time, Mu Xiantian, Zhong Yue and the others entered and that Yuan Shaotang also arrived, appearing proud and confident. Upon seeing Zhong Yue and King Zi Guang, Yuan Shaotang’s eyes rolled around and he smiled, “Isn’t this the god of war, King Yi? Mister Yi, your defeat and immediate retreat back to the Imperial Star surpasses even Mister Wuji, your reputation is now down in the drain and you still have the face to come here?”
Zhong Yue returned a smile without being bothered at all.
Yuan Shaotang’s vision landed on King Zi Guang as he mocked again, “As for King Zi Guang, you are not even as intelligent and wise as they say. You left behind billions of bodies back in the Heavenly River war and started turtling inside Heaven Breaching Fortress. You have the reputation but not the corresponding capability, an empty tin that makes the most noise and just like Mister Yi, shouldn’t you be embarrassed of yourself for being here?”
King Zi Guang too, smiled and ignored Yuan Shaotang.
Seeing how the duo remained silent, Yuan Shaotang burst out laughing and started walking towards the Zhongyang Clan’s saint palace to meet with Monarch Chang Sheng and Monarch Yang Zun.
Monarch Yang Zun then invited him to sit, and after taking his seat, Yuan Shaotang waited patiently for Zhong Yue and the others’ arrival.
Footsteps sounded out, and Zhong Yue and King Zi Guang marched into the saint palace. Mu Xiantian and Di Xiuluo, the former followed behind Zhong Yue and the latter behind King Zi Guang.
Zhong Yue and King Zi Guang first greeted and paid respect to the spiritual tablets of the five monarchs worshipped in the saint palace before greeting Monarch Yang Zun and Monarch Chang Sheng.
Right away, Monarch Yang Zun stood up and bowed back, before formally and seriously inviting them both to sit.
Feeling mistreated by the lack of similar treatment, Yuan Shaotang grunted and shouted, “Monarch Yang Zun, I too, am an emissary just like them. So why are you treating us differently? Are you looking down at Heavenly Monarch Wu Ming?”
Monarch Yang Zun gave him a cold glance and replied, “Not quite, King Zi Guang and King Yi are treated with more respect because they gave us what we wanted, the courtesy and appropriate level of respect to us. Our Zhongyang Clan’s spiritual tablets of the five monarchs are the tablets of the five Heavenly Monarchs of our clan from the Earth Order Era and they are all worshipped right at this place. The two misters first paid their respect to spiritual tablets of the five monarchs before Senior Martial Brother Chang Sheng and myself, which requires me to return the same level of respect to them, or I would be shaming my own clan. As for you, you greeted me right away and that makes you a junior of mine, so all I need to do is nod.”
Hearing this, Yuan Shaotang burst out laughing, as if he knew no shame, “Ancient races really have so many rules binding them. Monarch Yang Zun and Monarch Chang Sheng, Yuan Shaotang is here as an emissary to talk to you about surrendering!”
Without any unnecessary procedures, Yuan Shaotang went straight to the point and said, “Heavenly Monarch Wu Ming is the rightful ruler of this universe, with Qing He, Jin Tian and Yang Hou’s support and the surrender of the other monarch races, Her Majesty is responsible for securing a peaceful era for all living beings in this universe!”
The two monarchs, however, remained unmoved and they looked towards the two kings with an indescribable expression, as if they were waiting for the two kings to talk.
Yuan Shaotang turned towards Zhong Yue and King Zi Guang. They smirked, “Great monarchs, Xian Tian Palace is defeated and Mu Xiantian is gone! They are no longer a threat and they wouldn’t even dare to breath any harder before me! Great monarchs, all you rely on right now is just Zhongyang Clan’s five monarch spirits, but little did you know that our Heaven Court are sending in prisoners to be sacrificed as an offering to the Panhu Clan’s five monarchs!”
He smiled and continued, “Panhu Clan, and Zhongyang Clan, both are ancient monarch races and both given birth to five Heavenly Monarchs. As Heavenly Monarchs from the same era, do you wish to see the ten Earth Order Era’s Heavenly Monarchs fight each other?”
He added, “These monarchs, rise from different years and it would be hard to tell which one was stronger. However, if they had a war, some are destined to fall and that would be unpleasant.”
With a serious expression, the two monarchs remained silent for this was exactly what they feared.
After surrendering to the Queen Goddess, the Panhu Clan now set up five monarch altars right outside the fortress. They did not even hide their motives; to offer the prisoners as sacrificial offerings to summon the Panhu monarchs.
Zhongyang Clan might be stronger than the Panhu Clan but it was impossible for them to use such a bloody and violent method. Hence, they would be relying on the members’ prayers.
And if the monarchs spirits received insufficient prayers, their strength would be impacted and the Zhongyang Clan risked losing them all.
Without the monarch spirits, the Zhongyang Clan would no longer be a match for Qing He and the others.
Monarch Yang Zun coughed and said, “King Yi and King Zi Guang, what do you have to say?”
King Zi Guang smiled mockingly and replied, “Zi Guang was busy watching the joker entertaining everyone and I forgot my purpose here today.”
His words raised the anger in Yuan Shaotang and had him shouted, “Zi Guang, you are nothing but another loser in this war! King Yi is a rat who runs around cluelessly, trapped in a dead end and one day, I will put your head in a box and present them to Her Majesty!”
Monarch Yang Zun frowned, “Stop your puny fight, you both came for a reason, Yuan Shaotang has shown us what he wanted and now, it’s your time, Zi Guang.”
King Zi Guang turned to Zhong Yue and asked, “You gonna do it or me?”
Zhong Yue replied, “Please go ahead, senior martial brother.”
Hearing this, King Zi Guang stood up and shouted, “Queen Goddess is just a slut, selling her body to trade for something, a woman who humiliates herself by trading her body for some reason, anyone can sleep with her, as long as she deems them worthy. How could someone like that could become a Heavenly Monarch? Is she even fit to have two monarchs serving her? Did she even look into the mirror once? Surrendering and offering my talents to her? You might as well kill me first!”
His words greatly pleased Monarch Yang Zun and Monarch Chang Sheng, for they too, shared the same sentiments of hatred toward Queen Goddess right now. King Zi Guang continued, “Our Xian Tian Palace indeed wants to rise as the rightful ruler, but we hold great respect towards Heavenly Monarch Di Ming. Queen Goddess, however, is blatantly shameless! She, as the queen, openly slept with Yang Hou and Qing He, using her body to attain her goals! A whore will never be a Heavenly Monarch! This woman must be killed, but shame, I am too weak to kill her or I would’ve torched her already!”
Yuan Shaotang was stunned by these words coming out from King Zi Guang and the unusual behaviour. King Zi Guang was known for his composure and steadfastness, but today, he was swearing and scolding loudly like a street thug.
“Yuan Shaotang, as Heavenly Monarch Tian Yuan’s descendant and a member of the Tianyuan Clan, you put Heavenly Monarch Tian Yuan to shame!”
King Zi Guang’s attention shifted and started flaming Yuan Shaotang, “You offered your loyalty to a whore and instead of being ashamed of it, you took it proudly, I would’ve killed myself if I were you!”
Yuan Shaotang’s face flustered and he shouted, “Brat Zi Guang, you….”
Pui—
King Zi Guang spat at Yuan Shaotang.
Yuan Shaotang hurriedly dodged the spit and shouted back furiously, “Now that the sovereign races surrendered and Monarch Qing He and Her Majesty’s army stationed outside, it’s just a matter of time until you are all reduced to smithereen!”
But all he received was another projectile of spit from King Zi Guang.
Yuan Shaotang evaded again and scolded, “Zi Guang, you are not fit to be called a Mister, you are just a fool who knows no manners!”
King Zi Guang spitted again and this time, Yuan Shaotang couldn’t hold back anymore; he flipped the table upside down and reached towards King Zi Guang, only to find his vision being filled by a dashing saber before he found his head on the ground.
King Zi Guang too, had a scare and he quickly jumped aside as he asked. “King Yi, why did you kill him? Messengers and emissaries are not to be killed and we too, are here as the same reason as Yuan Shaotang. There is no reason for us to kill another emissary before the lord of this place….”
Zhong Yue kept his saber aside and right now, the men Yuan Shaotang brought along were all dead and he added, “There is no need to reason with a trash like him! We might as well just cut him half and kill him!”
Zhong Yue continued, “Dear monarchs, let me introduce you to this lady standing right here. This is the lord I serve. Today, she is here personally to show her respect and sincerity, Queen Goddess on the other hand, do you think she even dares to show herself before us today?”
Gracefully and elegantly, Mu Xiantian greeted the two monarchs and smiled, “My Dao companions, how are you doing?”
Monarch Yang Zun and Monarch Chang Sheng’s vision locked onto Mu Xiantian and the two intensely surprised monarchs shouted, “Mu Xiantian? You are still alive? But we saw you dying in the hands of Di Ming and Queen Goddess, there was no escape for you!”
Monarch Chang Sheng added, “Is that sacred ground located by Di Ming a fake? You are resurrected, aren’t you? No, there is no way that it would be this quick! The sacred ground can’t revive you that quickly!”
