Chapter 678: Stay Out of Fairy Business (37)
As Star Lord Tianyang, Jiaang Zirong’s demise transpired, the Immortal Official in charge of the immortal registry immediately became aware of the matter.
The Immortal Register erupted with a burst of light, and a mournful scream from Star Lord Tianyang resonated from within. He hurriedly searched through the Immortal Register, and sure enough, Star Lord Tianyang’s name had vanished.
The disappearance of the name signifies that the person known as Star Lord Tianyang no longer exists within the Three Realms.
"Heavenly Emperor, Star Lord Tianyang’s Divine Soul has been utterly annihilated." The registration office appeared before the Heavenly Emperor, cradling the Immortal Register.
The Heavenly Emperor was momentarily stunned: "What happened?"
"I... I dare not speak." The registration office, recalling the unearthed details, trembled with fear, noting the blatant lack of concealment.
Many in the Immortal Realm were aware of the scheme devised by several Star Officials to affect the Immortal Grass Garden’s immortal herbs.
Most did not pay much attention, after all, if it did not concern them personally—though the Heavenly Realm is overseen by the Heavenly Emperor—its power dynamics are as intricate as those in the mortal world; no one would engage in fruitless endeavors.
The Heavenly Emperor’s expression turned cold: "Speak."
The registration office, knowing this matter would eventually need to be disclosed, fearfully stated, "It was Lord Qiann Yan who struck Star Lord Tianyang with one sword, annihilating his Divine Soul—probably... probably because of the matter of descending to the mortal world that angered her."
The registration office stole a glance at the Heavenly Emperor; concerning these Star Officials’ descent, it was impossible for the Heavenly Emperor to be unaware. To remain passive seems to imply allowing them?
There are many who plot against the Immortal Grass Garden; however, with that Venerable’s presence, none dare to offend her. These Star Officials were so brazen—it compels one to ponder and the more one thinks, the more terrifying it becomes.
The registration office quickly shook his head; he was merely a small Immortal Official, why should he think so much? Even if there’s a fight, it’s not up to someone as weak in immortal power as he.
The Heavenly Emperor did not erupt in anger; rather, he sat pensively on his throne, furrowing his brow: "Where is Lord Qiann Yan at this moment?"
"I don’t know," the registration office admitted honestly. Just then, the Immortal Register in his hands emitted light again, another scream echoed, causing him to tremble; he hastily searched through the Immortal Register and, upon understanding the situation, exclaimed, "Heavenly Emperor, Star Official Tanwang’s Divine Soul has been utterly annihilated."
The Heavenly Emperor stood abruptly: "What did you say?"
"Star Official Tanwang’s Divine Soul has been annihilated, Heavenly Emperor, it was again the doing of Lord Qiann Yan." The registration office perused the Immortal Register; it records the annihilation of all Divine Souls belonging to Immortal Officials on this list—without any effort to hide.
Is the implication that they’re unafraid of being seen?
This is far too audacious.
No matter what, these two Star Officials belong to the Heavenly Emperor, to annihilate their Divine Souls so unceremoniously—it strikes at the dignity of the Heavenly Emperor, does it not?
With a wave, the Heavenly Emperor summoned the Immortal Register from the registration office to the desk before him. He perused the Immortal Register, and where Star Official Tanwang had been—a blank space; his expression sank as well.
"She’s taken it too far."
"Go bring her here."
The Heavenly Emperor did not concern himself greatly over the loss of two Star Officials—but he hadn’t anticipated her temperament to be so violent, to directly annihilate their Divine Souls.
Mulling over the situation quietly, contemplating how to handle this—could it serve as a pretext to gather the immortals to dispose of her?
While he was in thought, the Immortal Register stirred once more, and hearing the familiar voice, the Heavenly Emperor couldn’t resist a shout: "Water Balance Star Lord!!"
"She truly dares!"
Water Balance Star Lord, true name Cui Xinyi.
The registration office cowered below, this wasn’t just annihilating three right to their face?
How could she not dare?
He dared not say, rather than daze away, wouldn’t it be better to instantly teletransport over to stop her—perhaps Water Balance Star Lord might still be saved.
