King Wutong walked toward the main hall unaffected by the swords swinging around him.
The five mysterious men behind him were like a huge mountain blocking off all dangers that were around him.
Puchi!
A head was tossed high up into the air.
It rolled beside King Wutong’s feet. It belonged to Chao En and even if he died, his eyes were filled with reluctance and anger.
King Wutong didn’t stop at all and continued to walk forward.
One of the mysterious men behind him kicked the head away.
“Brother, you are here.”
When King Wutong was about to step into the main hall, a voice spread out.
Shortly after, a terrifying aura spread over. The Zhao Family Ancestor was first to attack and he wanted to kill King Wutong in one strike but the five mysterious men blocked.
They blocked his attacks before the six of them flew away. This place wasn’t suitable for a fight as any shockwave or ripple from it would kill many people.
“Brother.” King Wutong had many things he wanted to ask his brother, but the situation didn’t allow it. He really wanted to cry. Things weren’t suppose to end up like this.
Liu Xuan didn’t dare to say anything at all.
He felt that King Wutong’s aura was really strong and fierce. If King Wutong felt unhappy, then he could lose his life.
“You all can go out.”
King Wutong waved his hands and wanted everyone to leave.
Liu Xuan was shocked, “Your Majesty, you can’t do this; if anything happens, then…”
“Go out.”
Liu Xuan was helpless and could only listen to King Wutong. He retreated out of the hall, “Your Majesty, I will be waiting outside.”
Very quickly, the only two left in the hall were King Wutong and the Emperor.
“Brother, this…” King Wutong wanted to ask how matters escalated to such a state.
The Emperor didn’t let King Wutong continue speaking.
There was no need. He designed this path and he hoped that King Wutong could continue to walk it.
Outside, the Zhao Family Ancestor was fighting one against five and wasn’t at a disadvantage at all. But it was tough to say how this situation would develop.
“Are you from the Alliance or do you belong to those sects?”
He doubted who they really were. As he continued to clash with them, he realized that they weren’t weak and they definitely weren’t average people.
The Alliance had paid such a high price to take down You City, so it was not possible that they could send five nine-star generals over right away.
That meant that these five were possibly the Sect Leaders of the top sects.
These five didn’t even think about exposing their identities. They kept using their strongest attacks to quickly kill the Zhao Family Ancestor.
The space around was really unstable and it had already collapsed.
When Dao Realm experts clashed, not only would it affect their own bodies, but even the innocent space around would be destroyed.
After a long while.
The five of them instantly blocked off the Zhao Family ancestor.
“It is time to finish.”
The five of them opened their palms, and instantly, a terrifying aura spread out, causing the space around to shake.
The Zhao Family Ancestor’s expression was really solemn.
He had understood why the Emperor sent everyone away. He probably knew the outcome and didn’t want to make pointless sacrifices.
“Emperor, I really did underestimate you in the end.”
The Zhao Family Ancestor sighed. The situation today was a little complicated and it was quite impossible to kill the five of them, or rather it was not possible at all.
But there was a high chance that he would be killed by them.
Suddenly, in the distance, an extremely strong aura spread over which squeezed the space around. With a crack, it broke and a dimension appeared.
A person appeared beside the Zhao Family Ancestor’s side and said, “Go.”
At that moment, the Zhao Family Ancestor disappeared from the spot and was nowhere to be seen.
“How unfortunate, he actually managed to escape.”
“Forget it, fighting to the death isn’t our style. It isn’t easy to kill the Zhao Family Ancestor and there is no need for him to die.”
Liu Xuan and the others waited outside. They were all on alert and were listening to the sounds from within. If anything happened they would dash in as they definitely couldn’t let anything happen to King Wutong.
Kuang dang!
Suddenly, there was a loud sound.
Liu Xuan charged in and when he saw the scenes inside, he was stunned.
King Wutong stabbed the Emperor with a sword and blood flowed down the long sword. King Wutong’s back was facing the door and he wanted to release his hand but the Emperor grabbed tightly onto it.
“Brother, walk the path slowly, there is no rush.”
Emperor patted King Wutong’s back and he spat out mouthfuls of blood. He then pushed King Wutong aside, he covered his stomach with one hand and raised the other, “You rebels, will not…”
Puchi!
The Emperor spat out blood and then fell to the ground with a thud. He had stopped breathing.
King Wutong’s sword-holding hand shook and tears flowed down. His eyes were red and he wanted to cry but he felt like his throat was being strangled and no sound could come out at all.
His brother was dead and it was all because of him.
The five mysterious men appeared at the door and were stunned when they saw that. They didn’t expect that King Wutong would actually kill the Emperor.
That was your brother!
He was so cruel?
But thinking about how tempting the throne was, they understood.
Maybe King Wutong really wanted to rebel, but he just kept on failing. Now that the Alliance had helped him, he succeeded, and at the same time, he killed his brother.
It was such a tragic story.
What brotherhood… In front of temptations, it was worth nothing at all.
“Ah!”
King Wutong roared, venting the sadness in his heart. Slowly, the shouting stopped and it turned into a loud laugh.
“Hahaha…”
King Wutong tossed the sword in his hand. He laughed out loud as he looked at the sky and tears flowed down.
“I finally suceeded, I succeeded.”
When everyone looked at King Wutong, they all thought that he was too excited which was why he appeared like a mad man. However, they had no idea how much sadness he felt deep down.
He understood.
The reason why his brother didn’t contact him was because he considered that this would happen. Everything that brother did was for everyone to believe that he really wanted to rebel.
And that he wasn’t working with the Emperor.
He just wanted to remain in his position and didn’t want to be the Emperor.
Pa pa pa!
People started clapping.
The Alliance envoy appeared, clapping while saying, “As expected. Successful people have to be decisive. People who block your path must be killed. Since the Emperor is dead, King Wutong will become the new master of the Imperial Dynasty.”
Shortly after, the Alliance envoy cupped his fists and bowed, “The Alliance envoy greets Emperor.”
Liu Xuan knelt on the ground, “Minister Liu Xuan greets Emperor.”
Hualala!
Everyone knelt to the ground and they all called King Wutong the Emperor.
King Wutong looked out at all of them. This sad matter was actually something that many people felt was worthy of celebration.
He knew that he was being treated as a puppet emperor by Alliance and his goal was to stabilise the people and those merchants and rich families.
Alliance didn’t want chaos when they invaded the Rich Land. What they needed were resources and control. That was something that he could give as someone of the royal family bloodline.
If Alliance took over, chaos would definitely ensue.
….
All the top sects found out about King Wutong personally killing the emperor.
To them, their chance had arrived. Getting land, occupying it was something they could do now without any fear as the Imperial Dynasty was gone now.
Each one of the top sects were really strong.
What they needed to do was to support a puppet and form a dynasty that was controlled by the sect. Their territory might not have been huge but they would be out of the Imperial Dynasty’s control.
Each top sect controlled at least five cities.
Great Wei Dynasty, Great Gan Dynasty, etc; each dynasty popped out holding small territories but their names all sounded very majestic.
From now on, the people in those cities didn’t belong to the Imperial Dynasty, but they were now under these sects.
When the Alliance Headquarters learned of this matter, they weren’t shocked as they had already expected this. At the same time, some top sects had worked with them and they agreed with their demands.
To the Alliance, what was important was for King Wutong to take over the throne without chaos.
Martial Path Mountain.
Zhu Shen returned from outside, “Young Master Lin, something huge has happened. King Wutong has wiped out the Imperial Dynasty, and at the same time, many top sects have occupied land to form new dynasties.”
Lin Fan had been staying in Martial Path Mountain not because he feared things but because he wanted to slow down. Since things had reached such a stage, then it was time for him to head out to take a look.
Looking at the situation, everyone was having a lot of fun, taking land, and calling themselves kings. One had to say that the times really treated those top sects well.
“I didn’t expect that this would happen.” Feng Poliu exclaimed.
Lin Fan, “What is there to expect? Now, everyone is an enemy. Let’s just fight everyone and there is no need to think anymore.”
To Lin Fan, his thoughts were just so simple now.
King Wutong was just so vicious to be able to stab his own brother. One could see how overbearing he was.
Zhu Shen said, “Young Master Lin, what should we do next? Should we wait for your father to come out before we act?”
Lin Fan waved his hand, “There is no need to wait. I have been so bored recently and it is time to have some fun with the Alliance and those top sects. All of you can just wait here.”
“I can’t do that; I promised Master Lin I would take good care of you.” Zhu Shen said.
Lin Fan was contemplating that he could compromise.
Zhu Shen was not weak and if he followed by his side, he would at least have a helper. Also, Zhu Shen’s looks were able to cheat others. As long as he acted well, he would bring about a whole different effect.
Nine Demon also looked like he wanted to go.
“You are a bit big and too outstanding…”
“Eh?”
Before he even finished, he realized that Nine Demon had shrunk and was now the size of a puppy.
“Not bad.” Lin Fan nodded, “Since that is the case, then I will bring you.”
Zhang Tianshan was worried, “Sect Leader, isn’t it too dangerous to go out now?”
“Danger?” Lin Fan smiled. “It doesn’t exist.”
