Chapter 682: Stay Out of Fairy Business (41)
"I never expected that Your Majesty the Heavenly Emperor actually possesses the Heavenly Dao Sword," spoke an old Immortal, his face full of shock. Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent for a moment.
Luckily, they had put on an act earlier. If they had really sided against the Heavenly Emperor just because of their usual dissatisfaction, not even the Immortals could withstand the Heavenly Dao Sword.
The mere flash of the Heavenly Dao Sword was beyond their endurance.
"Lord Qiann Yan was truly impulsive, choosing to stand with the Demon. Your Majesty the Heavenly Emperor might take this as an opportunity to eliminate them both."
"With hundreds of sword lights pursuing them, all they can do is flee..."
Many Immortals speculated in their hearts whether the two could escape this calamity, for this was the power of the Heavenly Dao Sword, not an ordinary Magical Treasure.
"Are they suddenly changing direction?" Soon, an Immortal noticed something amiss. The sword lights were chasing the two, but now suddenly made a sharp turn, not heading in the direction of the Mortal World.
Nobody guessed that Qiann Yan’s target was the Heavenly Emperor Palace; everyone awaited the final outcome.
"In any case, the two did not flee towards the Mortal World below, sparing the beings below from disaster," an Immortal commented, bringing another wave of silence among the Immortals.
The Heavenly Emperor did not hesitate to use the Heavenly Dao Sword. Did he not consider how many beings below would suffer if such a powerful force truly struck the Mortal World?
"Initially, the two intended to escape to the Mortal World but suddenly turned; perhaps they didn’t want so many beings to suffer," an Immortal speculated.
Soon, another Immortal jumped in, retorting, "They aren’t orthodox Immortals, one is an Innate Spiritual Grass, the other a Demon. Would they consider the beings of the Mortal World?"
The Immortals glanced at the Immortal, filled with resentment, eager to rush up and kill the two, and ignored him.
This guy was clearly a staunch supporter of the Heavenly Emperor. Even if those two did not consider the beings of the Mortal World, did the Heavenly Emperor?
The Immortals had strong opinions about using the Heavenly Dao Sword unless it was against an utterly reprehensible Demon. Otherwise, there was no need for it; the thing could potentially destroy the Mortal Realm if mishandled.
Wasn’t it rightful for people to seek revenge for what the Heavenly Emperor had done unjustly in the past?
"I know where they’re going..."
An Immortal cried out in shock, "Their current direction shows no residences of the Immortals. The wide area of the Heavenly Emperor Palace doesn’t allow Immortals’ residences to exist; they’re heading to the Heavenly Emperor Palace!"
The Immortals: Whoa—
Is this even possible?
The Immortals each displayed their Divine Skills, lying pale on the ground, using their powers to clandestinely observe the situation at the Heavenly Emperor Palace.
Indeed, the two had already arrived within the scope of the Heavenly Emperor Palace, with hundreds of sword lights trailing behind them.
They also noticed a problem, the route chosen by the two deliberately avoided the residences of the Immortals, traversing through mostly spacious areas or the palaces frequently occupied by the Heavenly Emperor.
Could this really be just an illusion?
They purposely intended to go to the Heavenly Emperor Palace!!
Things suddenly became thrilling.
The Immortals looked even paler, quickly forcing themselves to appear less flushed out of excitement, preventing the Heavenly Emperor’s spies from noticing anything amiss and causing trouble for them later.
"The Heavenly Emperor Palace is in peril!" The God of Marriage the Elder Moon clutched his chest, sighing, "We truly cannot do anything."
"Cough, cough, cough... yes," the Star Lord of Destiny coughed violently, even coughing up blood, "Let’s see what Your Majesty will do."
