Chapter 2065: Falling Out

Enforcing the law on behalf of the Great Emperor.

Millet Emperor was guilty!

Ning Yuan was the Domain Chief of the Donghua Domain, the one who oversaw the domain. He claimed that Millet Emperor was guilty and that he was enforcing the law on behalf of the Great Emperor. He officially declared that he was going to kill Millet Emperor.

The significance of his statement in the Donghua Domain could not be understated. These words would determine the fate of the Wangshen Watchtower as well as Millet Emperor.

At that moment, countless cultivators inside and outside of Domain Chief’s Manor felt their hearts tremble. The name of the Wangshen Watchtower might be erased from the Donghua Domain.

After all, Ning Yuan was the overseer of the Donghua Domain. Since he had made up his mind, it was impossible for the Wangshen Watchtower to exist in the domain anymore.

Even the giant level figures of the various forces looked at Ning Yuan in astonishment. He was going to deal with the Wangshen Watchtower. They never imagined that such a storm would be swept up during the Donghua Banquet. It seemed that this Chief had long intended to eliminate the Wangshen Watchtower.

What greater schemes were at play here?

Millet Emperor lowered his head and looked at the proud figure standing in Donghua Palace. Before the Donghua Banquet was held, he already had a bad premonition. After Li Changsheng sent him the message, he understood why Ling Xiao Palace dared to go against the Wangshen Watchtower together with Great Yan Ancient Royal Family so unscrupulously in front of everyone back on Turtle Deity Island. It turned out that Domain Chief’s Manor was backing them. Hence, they had no scruples to do so.

Recalling that Domain Chief’s Manor had stepped out to mediate the matter of the death of Supreme Deity Donglai, Millet Emperor could not help but feel a sense of mockery. He never imagined that he had been fooled for so many years and that the person behind all this was the Domain Chief, Ning Yuan.

He had always wanted to get to the bottom of the matter. Now that he finally knew the truth, he felt a wave of sadness and grief.

Ning Yuan, the Domain Chief of the Donghua Domain, had such sinister schemes. This was definitely not good for the domain.

“Chief, you probably have wanted to eliminate me for a long time,” Millet Emperor suddenly said. “Now, you finally found an excuse to do so.”

Since Ning Yuan had already decided to enforce the law on behalf of the Great Emperor and was prepared to personally join the battlefield to deal with Millet Emperor, then, Millet Emperor did not need to hesitate. He did not need to tolerate the other party anymore. If that was the case, they might as well stir the pot even further and let the Imperial Palace of the Divine Prefecture know what kind of person the Domain Chief was.

Ning Yuan looked up at Millet Emperor. Millet Emperor continued saying, “Great Yan Ancient Royal Family and Ling Xiao Palace have been against us all this while. On Turtle Deity Island, they joined forces to deal with the disciples of the Wangshen Watchtower. Chief, you also turned a blind eye back then. Now, during the Donghua Banquet, you have done the same. Ning Hua tried to kill Ye Liunian in the secret zone before investigating the truth. Domain Chief’s Manor has already chosen its side but just did not reveal it. Am I right?”

“Presumptuous,” Ning Yuan replied in a cold tone. His figure gradually floated upwards. Immediately, a powerful Grand Seal Great Path appeared in the vast space. Countless sealing runes circled around them and immediately sealed off the space.

“Since it has come to this, it doesn’t matter even if I am presumptuous. I wish to ask Chief something: Who killed Donglai?” Millet Emperor asked. His voice shook the heavens and the earth, reverberating inside and outside of the Domain Chief’s Manor. Countless people could hear him clearly.

They had heard everything before this as well publicly. In an instant, across the vast space, all the cultivators, inside and outside of the Domain Chief’s Manor, were in an uproar.

Millet Emperor was interrogating the Chief as to who killed Supreme Deity Donglai.

His meaning was clear. Did that mean that Chief Ning Yuan was also involved in the death of Supreme Deity Donglai?

Millet Emperor was implying that, before this, Great Yan Ancient Royal Family and Ling Xiao Palace had the backing of another superpower, Domain Chief’s Manor.

Could this be true?

Many people were suspicious of this. After all, this was a one-sided claim from Millet Emperor. If it were true, the Chief’s schemes were too sinister. Was he truly trying to unify the Donghua Domain under his rule?

Although the Donghua Domain was considered a part of the Divine Prefecture and the forces of the domain were under the jurisdiction of Domain Chief’s Manor, in reality, each superpower was independent and was not controlled by any other force, including Domain Chief’s Manor. Unless there was a decree from the Imperial Palace, which they might obey to some extent, Domain Chief’s Manor could not command the superpowers of the entire domain. For the various cultivators to participate in the Donghua Banquet, they were already showing the Domain Chief due respect.

For instance, could Chief Ning Yuan order Emperor Xi, Thunder Punishing Skylord and Sword Goddess of Divine Palace of Fluttering Snow around?

It was obviously impossible.

However, if it was as Millet Emperor claimed it to be, the Domain Chief was very ambitious. He wanted absolute authority over the Donghua Domain.

“Millet Emperor, you are out of your mind,” Ning Yuan said as he looked at Millet Emperor. “I organized the Donghua Banquet in accordance to the will of the Great Emperor that martial arts in the Donghua Domain will prosper. Yet, Millet Emperor wishes to stir up conflict and does not listen to dissuasion. If that is the case, from this day forth, the name of the Wangshen Watchtower shall be eliminated from the Donghua Domain. However, this matter does not concern the disciples of the Wangshen Watchtower. I can overlook their involvement. However, Ye Liunian defied my rules, so he needs to remain here. The rest of you may leave.”

The name of the Wangshen Watchtower was eliminated from the Donghua Domain.

As expected, Domain Chief Ning Yuan would not allow the Wangshen Watchtower to continue existing.

However, he was willing to spare the cultivators of the Wangshen Watchtower. He only wanted Ye Futian.

The giant level figures understood everything when they saw this scene. The disciples of the Wangshen Watchtower were insignificant to Ning Yuan. It was the same with Eastern Deity Island. Since the Chief spared Eastern Deity Island once, he would not go after them again. After all, he was the ruler of the Donghua Domain. He could not go around massacring people as he pleased.

However, he had to take Ye Futian into custody. This person had extraordinary talent, possibly even above that of Zong Chan. Prior to this, he had also broken the seal. Chief Ning did not know what benefits Ye Futian had received from doing so yet. How could he let Ye Futian go?

Ning Yuan rejected Ye Futian’s appeal to join Domain Chief’s Manor as a cultivator. He wanted Ye Futian’s life.

The Renhuangs of the Wangshen Watchtower in all directions looked at Ning Yuan. Li Changsheng said, “The Wangshen Watchtower is not in the wrong in this incident today. Since Chief has made your stance clear, you do not need to reprimand the Wangshen Watchtower as well as blame Master. All of this stems from the Yan Kingdom and Ling Xiao Palace. The world will be the judge of who is right and who is wrong. As for leaving here, as disciples of the Wangshen Watchtower, we will naturally leave together.”

“You seek your own deaths,” said Emperor Yan as he swept a glance at the crowd. The Renhuangs of the Wangshen Watchtower would all die today.

In reality, they had always wanted to deal with the Wangshen Watchtower. Now, they had the chance to do so. After today, the Wangshen Watchtower would cease to exist in the Donghua Domain.

“Changsheng, Zong Chan, take the others and leave. Retreat back to the Wangshen Watchtower,” Millet Emperor ordered. This battle was a battle of giant level figures. Li Changsheng and the others would be at a severe disadvantage here.

Emperor Yan and Ling Yunzi stared at Li Changsheng and the others. Millet Emperor continued saying, “If any of you attack the juniors of the Wangshen Watchtower, I will not hesitate to massacre all of you.”

“Understood,” Li Changsheng replied as he nodded his head. They understood the situation they were in. Remaining here was extremely disadvantageous for them. They could only retreat for now. With their levels of cultivation, they were of no help to Millet Emperor. It was only after they had escaped that Millet Emperor would have the chance to retreat as well.

Millet Emperor had carried the divine watchtower here for their sakes. Otherwise, with his level of cultivation, if he had escaped before this, no one could have done anything about it.

“Let’s go,” Li Changsheng said. The cultivators of the Wangshen Watchtower immediately took to the skies and headed out of Domain Chief’s Manor.

Ning Yuan looked at them and said, “I said that Ye Liunian must stay behind.”

As he said this, Ning Hua stepped out. At the same time, other cultivators from Domain Chief’s Manor also dashed in the direction Li Changsheng and the others were escaping.

On the other side, the Renhuangs of Great Yan Ancient Royal Family and Ling Xiao Palace also left their positions and chased after Li Changsheng and the others.

However, Ning Yuan, Emperor Yan and Ling Yunzi, these three giant level figures did not move. They remained standing where they were, seemingly uninvolved with this matter.

However, the situation was clearly extremely disadvantageous for the cultivators of the Wangshen Watchtower. Ning Hua alone was an invincible existence and was difficult to deal with.

Emperor Yan and Ling Yunzi looked at Millet Emperor mockingly. Even if the three of them did not attack, Ning Hua and the other cultivators were more than sufficient to kill off Li Changsheng and the others. None of them would escape.

Whether Millet Emperor himself would make it out of here alive today remained to be seen.

Millet Emperor did not attack. Pressure of the Great Path that was frightening beyond comparison descended upon the area. However, Millet Emperor was still waiting for Li Changsheng and the rest to escape far from this region.

Ning Yuan was similarly waiting for Ning Hua and the other cultivators to leave and for the members of Domain Chief’s Manor to retreat.

They all had their concerns. If they immediately started fighting, the junior figures would not be able to withstand their power. Both sides clearly did not want such a situation to occur. Hence, they had reached a tacit understanding.

However the pressure in the vast space became more and more intense. It was suffocating!
