Chapter 840 840: Sound the War Drums!

The seventeen Holy Masters of the Holy Lands exchanged glances, their Divine Senses rapidly clashing in communication.

Leave?

Leaving was impossible.

They had come to the Heavenly Court legitimately today to investigate whether the rumors of The Supreme Emperor's imminent death were true.

But there is often a basis for rumors.

After all, in the past ninety-nine epochs, whenever an Emperor Realm suffered severe injuries, the news couldn't be concealed, just like this time.

Therefore, led by discussions at the Purple Star Palace, they chose to come to the Heavenly Court to 'console' The Supreme Emperor.

"Divine General Bai, do not rush."

Chou Sihai, the Holy Master of Blood Gu Hall, said sternly, "Though Blood Gu Hall's techniques are insignificant, there are two or three healing sacred manuscripts among them. I dare to heal Great Emperor Qingfeng!"

Baize sneered, a grim smile on his face, "Healing is unnecessary, all of you may leave."

"..."

The hall was silent.

Not a single one of the seventeen Quasi-Emperors left.

Except for Hua Xuemei, who hung her head low, the other sixteen stared unblinkingly at The Supreme Emperor seated on the dragon throne.

Xu Lai's gaze held an unfathomable depth, meeting their sixteen gazes.

It was just a breath.

Zi Tianxuan and the other Quasi-Emperors felt a tremor in their souls, as if on the verge of collapse, quickly casting their eyes down, unsurprised in their hearts.

A dying camel is bigger than a horse, and a dying Emperor Realm cannot be opposed by Quasi-Emperors.

"The Supreme Emperor, not only us, but cultivators across the Immortal Domain are concerned about your well-being."

Zi Tianxuan bowed her head.

She looked at the floor of the main hall of the Heavenly Court, speaking softly, "Please let Holy Master Chou from Blood Gu Hall examine your injuries, so there can be an account for the Four Immortal Domains."

"You, raise your head."

Zi Tianxuan hesitated for a moment.

But thinking of the legendary figure who supported them in coming, she slowly raised her head, smiling without arrogance or inferiority.

"Do you mean the Immortal Domain wants an account, or is it you from Purple Star Palace, Blood Gu Hall, Black Moon Butterfly, and other Holy Lands seeking an account?"

Xu Lai seemed somewhat weary as he closed his eyes, his voice light.

"It is naturally for the countless beings of the Immortal Domain." Zi Tianxuan spoke solemnly.

"Represent the Immortal Domain?"

Xu Lai opened his eyes, within them countless stars burst forth, "You are worthy!"

"Boom!"

Thunder exploded within Zi Tianxuan and the others' minds, and outside the Heavenly Court layers of tribulation clouds formed instantly, with tribulation thunder rolling within.

The Holy Masters knew.

The Supreme Emperor was angered!

"The Supreme Emperor, indeed, we are not worthy of representing the Immortal Domain. Today... we bid farewell."

Tong Wannian, Holy Master of the Sky-reaching Nine-horned Ants Clan, spoke with his scalp tingling.

"Stop." Baize spoke.

"What does Divine General Bai mean? Do you intend to stop us?"

Zi Tianxuan directly tossed a heavy accusation over, "Today, our visit by seventeen people is known across the Immortal Domain, do you intend to show the true face of the Heavenly Court to all Immortal Domain cultivators?"

"You were given the chance to leave just now, but you didn't take it. Now that you're being told not to leave, you wish to go."

Baize asked seriously, "Why bring such trouble upon yourselves?"

"Hmph! The Heavenly Court, which claims to accommodate all, can't even tolerate our mere seventeen people, it's utterly ridiculous!"

Chou Sihai was furious.

"Blood Gu Hall planted blood gu in thirty star systems under its jurisdiction a month ago, leading to devastation and countless losses for the Human Race."

Xu Lai spoke softly.

Chou Sihai's face turned pale in an instant, how could this matter have been found out? There hadn't been any leaks.

"The Supreme Emperor, Blood Gu Hall's matters are unrelated to us; we shall take our leave first." Zi Tianxuan bowed.

"Purple Star Palace killed thirty-one thousand two hundred ninety-six of our Heavenly Soldiers and Generals. You really thought I would die inside the Annihilation Space, right."

Zi Tianxuan's expression changed drastically.

She anxiously spoke, "That matter was a misunderstanding, please listen to my explan—"

"The Sky-reaching Nine-horned Ants Clan slaughtered natives from seven star systems, most of whom were ordinary humans without any powers."

Xu Lai interrupted Zi Tianxuan, continuing, "And the Black Moon Butterfly Clan..."

Every time Xu Lai spoke, the Holy Masters of the named Holy Lands shuddered, fear creeping from the soles of their feet throughout their entire bodies, thinking to themselves that the situation was dire.

"Tap"

"Tap"

"Tap"

After listing all the sins, Xu Lai slowly tapped his fingers on the dragon throne, the crisp sound continuously falling, causing the seventeen Quasi-Emperors to sweat profusely.

Including Hua Xuemei.

Despite being a Quasi-Emperor, she was anxious to the verge of tears, for Fengyue Pavilion had also been named just now.

The reason being that the extensive rumors they fabricated were detrimental to the growth of the younger generation in the Immortal Domain, and also tarnished its harmonious atmosphere.

The Supreme Emperor.

One of ours.

I'm one of ours.

I was wrong before, but this time I did it under Divine General Bai's orders.

Hua Xuemei looked at Baize, but he had no intention of speaking up for her.

The Heavenly Court...

Could it be planning to take advantage of this to eliminate Fengyue Pavilion?

The more she thought, the more fearful Hua Xuemei became.

"Tap"

"Tap"

"Tap"

Each time his fingertip tapped, it brought immense pressure to the seventeen Quasi-Emperors in the hall.

Finally.

Xu Lai spoke up, "You came today, offering elixirs and spirit plants, all simply wanting to know if my power was gone."

"Now, I tell you, those are all rumors."

False?

The Holy Masters unisonly raised their heads.

Impossible!

That rumor was passed from the mouth of the Eight Desolate Cauldron, how could words from the Emperor Artifact Li Shenhuang be false?

Besides, they had witnessed the terror of the Giant Whale with their own eyes; how could The Supreme Emperor return from the Northern Immortal Domain unscathed?

So was Xu Qingfeng...

Merely being elusive!

Which of those present was not exceedingly clever?

Quickly they understood the crucial point, knowing The Supreme Emperor was already a spent force, now relying only on realm pressure to forcibly suppress them.

To wage war against the seventeen Holy Lands?

That would definitely not be dared!

Thinking of this, their hearts gradually eased.

But.

In the next moment.

A sudden voice sounded: "Led by the Purple Star Palace, the sixteen Holy Lands have become the cancer of the Immortal Domain, long forgetting their original intentions."

"Summon the decree of the Heavenly Court, sound the war drum."

"This battle, I shall lead personally!"

"Yes, The Supreme Emperor!"

Outside the hall, Divine Generals' eyes shone fervently, quickly heading to the Martial Practice Field of the Heavenly Court, and sounded the central bloody drum.

Since the establishment of the Heavenly Court.

The war drum had been sounded thrice.

The first was when the Heavenly Court was founded.

The second was when The Supreme Emperor became an Emperor.

The third was to crusade against the Ancient Demon Clan.

Now...

It's the fourth time.

Once the war drum is sounded, it means this war will be fought until death!

"What?!"

Zi Tianxuan and the others were dizzy.

How could the Heavenly Court dare to simultaneously start a war against the sixteen Holy Lands, did The Supreme Emperor not fear inciting chaos in the Immortal Domain?

"Xu Qingfeng! If you dare take action, the Immortal Domain will inevitably be devastated."

Zi Tianxuan gritted her teeth, no longer addressing him as The Supreme Emperor.

"The heritage accumulated over dozens of epochs in the Holy Lands is absolutely not something the Heavenly Court can compare with. Great Emperor Qingfeng, do not deceive yourself!"

The Holy Master from Blood Gu Hall also voiced a threat.

"So loud."

Xu Lai stood up, Emperor Realm pressure spread out instantly, without the slightest reservation.

In an instant.

Heaven and earth changed color!
