This battle had almost destroyed half of the Ninth Lord’s Estate. Even outside the Lord’s Estate, there was a huge commotion. Before the battle ended, the four great clans and three great sects received the news and had been paying attention. Because the battle was too terrifying, far exceeding what they had seen and heard, no one dared to act rashly.
No wonder even Young Master Wuchen was afraid of this Ninth Imperial Uncle. He was indeed not ordinary.
The Heavenly Saints Emperor had been paying attention to the Ninth Lord’s Estate. Therefore, he learned about the battle earlier than anyone. He was nervously waiting for the outcome, anxious to know if Ye Jiushang and the others were dead.
Based on the terrifying level of this battle, it must be the Asura Hall.
With the Asura Hall personally taking action, his hopes would definitely come true. He could only wait for the news of Ye Jiushang and Xue Fanxin’s deaths to come.
But for some reason, he was uneasy. He was afraid that the outcome would not be according to his expectations.
If the Asura Hall could not kill Ye Jiushang, then he really did not know who else in the world could do the job.
“Help me investigate if Ye Jiushang is dead. Go. I want to know if he is dead or alive immediately.” The Heavenly Saints Emperor was too anxious.
However, he did not know that his words quickly entered Ye Jiushang’s ears.
While the Heavenly Saints Emperor had sent people to keep an eye on the Ninth Lord’s Estate, he had done the same to him. Furthermore, his methods were even more brilliant. Therefore, before the Heavenly Saints Emperor’s people could obtain any news from the Ninth Lord’s Estate, Ye Jiushang’s men had already returned to report what they had heard and seen in detail.
Ye Jiushang was so exhausted that he could not stand up. He was listless, and his face was as pale as paper. However, he still guarded Xue Fanxin, or he would not be at ease.
Initially, he did not want to deal with anything and only wanted to rest. However, the spies in the palace had brought back news and Zhuri had sent it to him. He had to hear what was going on with the Heavenly Saints Emperor.
It was fine if he had not listened, but after hearing it, he was enraged. His killing intent soared to the sky, and he looked like he wanted to skin someone alive.
“So that useless ruler wants my life? This is really unexpected!”
The Heavenly Saints Emperor had always been scared of him. As long as he frowned slightly, the man would be so frightened that he would break out in a cold sweat. He really could not imagine that someone like him actually had the guts to covet his life.
The assassins tonight were most likely related to the Heavenly Saints Emperor.
However, he had never expected the Heavenly Saints Emperor to be able to contact the Asura Hall.
“Your Highness, is there something strange about this?” Zhuri did not believe that the Heavenly Saints Emperor would actually kill Ye Jiushang. In his impression, the Heavenly Saints Emperor was extremely afraid of his master.
“There’s indeed something strange. I really want to know how the Heavenly Saints Emperor contacted Asura Hall.” Ye Jiushang couldn’t figure out this riddle. With the Heavenly Saints Emperor’s status and ability, he should not come into contact with Asura Hall at all.
Could it be the Asura Black Badge again?
Ye Jiushang pondered over this matter. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible.
Only the Asura Black Badge could make the Asura Hall mobilize so many people.
Asura Hall… I’ll remember. I hope you can bear my wrath.
Ye Jiushang smiled coldly. No one knew what he was thinking, but his smile would spook even ghosts. Just looking at it made people’s blood run cold.
Zhuri did not dare to ask further. He was afraid that he would make Ye Jiushang unhappy. He waited by the side for instructions.
In tonight’s battle, those important figures had all collapsed from exhaustion. Even Little Lei was so tired that he fell asleep. He slept like a log and could not be moved no matter what. Therefore, everything in the residence was basically handled by him now.
He had no choice. After all, he had not fought.
“Ink and brush.” Ye Jiushang did not say much to Zhuri. He instructed someone to prepare a brush and ink and personally wrote a letter, handing it to Zhuri. “Send this letter to the Ghost King’s residence.”
“Yes.” Zhuri did not ask further and took the letter respectfully. He only saw the words “Personal Letter to the Ghost King” on the envelope. He did not dare to look at anything else and left straight away.
Ye Jiushang dragged his exhausted body to Xue Fanxin’s side and lay down. He watched her sleep. The more he looked at her, the more he recognized her beauty. He could not help but trace her facial features with his hand. Then, he recalled what had happened today, and his heart was filled with fury.
He could roughly guess the intention of the Heavenly Saints Emperor. It was most likely about Consort Qi back then. The Heavenly Saints Emperor did not want the Ghost King to know the truth, so he chose to get rid of him.
What a stupid incapable ruler. He was hopelessly stupid. Did he think that he could be eliminated so easily?
Even without Xin’er, he would not have died. If he could not win, he could escape with the important people.
“Xin’er, I’ll make that useless ruler pay the price. Not only that useless ruler but also the Asura Hall. As long as it’s someone who dares to hurt you and me, I won’t let them off, even if they are Martial Monarchs.”
The Asura Hall might already know that Xin’er had a treasure on her, so they would meet sooner or later.
“Asura Hall, I want to see how capable you are.”
At the same time, in a certain dark place, a man in a black robe was looking at a bunch of crystals on an array. Ten of the crystals had already dimmed or even shattered.
The black-robed man kept staring at the broken pieces, his expression worsening every second. Finally, he roared, “Damn it, damn it, damn it… He actually destroyed ten of my Asura Warriors. The Lord of Nine Cloud Palace is indeed powerful.
“But so what? Ye Jiushang, you made me suffer such heavy losses this time. I’ll definitely make you pay back tenfold or a hundredfold. Also, that Xue Fanxin is Xue Feichen’s only daughter. I want to see if the Reverse Spirit Heaven Wheel is with you. As long as I obtain it, forget about the Lord of the Nine Cloud Palace, even the Great Emperor can’t do anything to me.
“Just you wait, you damned couple. I definitely won’t let you off.
“My Asura Warriors, ten of them are gone. Damn it, damn it.”
From the black-robed man’s crazy appearance, one could tell that the death of ten Asura Warriors was a serious blow to him.
But it was useless to be angry. He could only think of a way to deal with Ye Jiushang.
The Heavenly Saints Emperor had used the Asura Black Badge. He had to help the Heavenly Saints Emperor fulfill that wish, or the prestige of the Asura Black Badge would be greatly affected.
“Ye Jiushang, Lord of the Nine Cloud Palace, I want to see if you can withstand my next move.”
