It’s better for you to die than me!
The beast tide was so ferocious. They would only have a chance to escape if they used him to attract the ferocious beasts’ gazes. Therefore, Martial Uncle Wang did not hesitate to push his companion to death. He would just leave with Li Zhengye.
As long as Li Zhengye, the Emperor of the Yufu Kingdom, was alive, he would be able to obtain what he wanted. He did not care about the lives of others.
Martial Uncle Wang was a third-grade Grotto-Heaven Realm expert. Even if he carried Li Zhengye with one hand, he could immediately escape the siege of countless vicious beasts after soaring into the sky.
After all, an expert like him was still very strong.
Martial Uncle Wang heaved a long sigh of relief. He felt that he was already out of danger. Although he had lost three experts, Li Zhengye was not dead. Things were not as bad as they seemed.
Unfortunately, one of the swords seemed to have eyes and stabbed him, while the other Demon Slayer Sword stabbed Li Zhengye.
Martial Uncle Wang, who was in midair, floated down like a dead leaf. Everyone who had rushed to the Wilderness from the Northern Kingdom saw this scene. Because this scene was simply blinding under the moonlight!
This would be a scene that some people would never forget for the rest of their lives.
A third-grade Grotto-Heaven Realm expert had been stabbed to death without any warning. If they hadn’t seen it with their own eyes, no one would have believed it.
A third-grade Grotto-Heaven Realm expert couldn’t even dodge a sword?
Who? Whose sword was it? Was he actually so powerful? And why did the countless vicious beasts in the Wilderness gathered? Who would be so generous? Could it be their Great Empress Zhaoyang? But Great Empress Zhaoyang’s realm was so low!
There were too many doubts hidden in everyone’s hearts, making them unwilling to disperse for a long time. Wang Xian and the others led some martial artists and charged into the beast tide, shouting for Her Majesty, wanting to meet up with Zhaoyang.
Soon, they saw Great Empress Zhaoyang and noticed that the terrifying beast tide had already subsided. If not for the countless smelly saliva on the ground and the scales or feathers of some unknown vicious beast, everyone would have thought that they were dreaming.
“I’m here…” Zhaoyang’s voice was very calm. Not far away from her, there was a second-grade Grotto-Heaven Martial Saint with a pale face who could barely stand.
This person was the one Martial Uncle Wang had thrown into the beast tide. He was originally a consecrator of the Yufu Kingdom and was in charge of protecting Li Zhengye. However, at the critical moment, he was abandoned and thrown into the vicious beasts.
He was trapped by the vicious beasts and chose to surrender to Great Empress Zhaoyang. He expressed his willingness to sign a contract with the Empress and stay in the Northern Kingdom. Actually, he was scared to death. If he didn’t surrender and stay here, would he be pierced through like Marial Uncle Wang?
“It’s good that Your Majesty is fine. This, the beast tide? I’m sorry for being late!” Wang Xian led a group of martial artists who had rushed over and knelt in front of the Empress.
At this moment, the shock in their hearts could no longer be described with words.
Five people from the Yufu Kingdom had come. Other than one who had surrendered, the rest were all dead.
The four people who died were not ordinary people. They were all Martial Saints. There was even a third-grade Grotto-Heaven Realm expert. Even if the Yufu Kingdom was backed by the Yufu Mountain and was stronger than the Northern Kingdom, four experts had died at once, and there was even the Emperor of the Yufu Kingdom.
This was a huge matter!
“It’s fine. With the guardian of the Northern Kingdom around, I’m fine. I’ve made you worry. Li Zhengye is the ruler of a country after all. Get someone to send these corpses back to the Yufu Kingdom. Also, send a message over. Those who offend my Northern Kingdom will be executed no matter how far away they are. They deserve it!”
Zhaoyang was very calm and firm, but no one dared to object.
After today’s battle, the Northern Kingdom would make all the experts in the world look at it in a different light.
The once powerful and arrogant Yufu Kingdom had paid a heavy price this time. It was estimated that no one would dare to be disrespectful to the Northern Kingdom for a long time to come.
“The Guardian attacked?” A Martial Saint shouted in surprise. His face was abnormally excited. To them, the Guardian of the Northern Kingdom was the most mysterious and powerful existence.
All the martial artists who followed Wang Xian here were in an uproar!
Although they did not see the Guardian attack with their own eyes, these experts were all dead. This method made people click their tongues. It reminded them of how the seven great clans had collapsed overnight many years ago. It was the Guardian of the Northern Kingdom who had attacked back then.
This time, the Guardian attacked again.
The news that the Emperor of the Yufu Kingdom and a few experts of the Yufu Mountain had provoked the imperial power of the Northern Kingdom and were killed by the Guardian of the Northern Kingdom with a single sword strike spread throughout the world as the martial artists who saw the beast tide that night recounted it vividly!
When the citizens of the Northern Kingdom heard this news, they heaved a long sigh of relief. Some of them set off firecrackers, while others beat gongs and drums to celebrate.
Only a strong country would have peace. Only when the Northern Kingdom became stronger and no one dared to invade it would the commoners have a good life.
The Northern Kingdom, which had a powerful Guardian, was really terrifyingly strong this time.
In everyone’s hearts, the Northern Kingdom was far inferior to the Yufu Kingdom. However, this time, the Northern Kingdom had made everyone look at it in a different light.
All of this was because of a powerful Guardian of the Northern Kingdom. It was because of him that the Great Empress could hold her head high and make the Northern Kingdom famous!
Yufu Mountain was the first to receive this news.
At that time, the Sect Master of the Yufu Mountain was drinking tea with his friends and chatting with them about how the Emperor of the Yufu Kingdom came from the Yufu Mountain. He happened to hear his disciples telling him about it.
The Emperor of the Yufu Kingdom, Li Zhengye, a disciple of the Yufu Mountain, had led Martial Uncle Wang and a few Martial Saint experts and died in the Wilderness of the Northern Kingdom. It was said that the Guardian of the Northern Kingdom had taken action.
When the Sect Master of the Yufu Mountain heard this news, the teacup in his hand fell to the ground. The green tea splashed on his clothes, but he did not notice it.
“What? The Guardian of the Northern Kingdom? He-he killed Li Zhengye? The current ruler of the Yufu Kingdom?”
The Sect Master of the Yufu Mountain felt his ears buzz.
This matter had blown up.
Not only was Li Zhengye a former disciple of the Yufu Mountain, but he was also the current Emperor of the Yufu Kingdom. He was also the favorite descendant of the Old Ancestor of the Yufu Mountain.
The Yufu Kingdom only existed because of the Yufu Mountain. The Old Ancestor of the Yufu Mountain established the Yufu Kingdom because some of his descendants did not have the talent for cultivation.
It allowed his children and grandchildren who were not talented to enjoy extreme wealth in the mortal world. It could be seen how protective the Old Ancestor of the Yufu Mountain was.
And this Li Zhengye, the only grandson that the Old Ancestor doted on the most, had died in the Northern Kingdom?
“Sect Master, that’s right. Junior Brother Li and Martial Uncle Wang’s corpses have already been sent back. I’ve checked. It’s them. They died from a sword piercing through their body.”
The disciple lowered his head, feeling uneasy.
Something big was going to happen!
It had been many years since anyone dared to be so disrespectful to Yufu Mountain!
