Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
There was silence all around. No one spoke. Only the sound of heavy breathing could be heard. Zhou Hong and the others stared blankly at the blood that splattered everywhere. They did not come back to their senses for a long time.
Only then did they clearly realize the words spoken by Xiao Shi were not just words that lost their rationality in a fit of anger. Instead, he had really done it! Apart from intense shock, everyone looked at Xiao Shi with a strange gaze. Especially these Martial Demon Realm experts from the Great Wu Empire.
The strangeness in their eyes was the strongest. Their abnormality was mainly because Xiao Shi actually dared to disobey the prince.
One had to know that in the current Great Wu Empire, no one dared to disobey the prince. The prince looked gentle on the surface, but he had a violent and domineering personality. Under his rule, he would never allow anyone in the Great Wu Empire to dare to disobey his will. Therefore, in the current Great Wu Empire, there was basically no one who dared to disobey the prince.
If not for the fact that there was indeed a taboo on Xiao Shi, everyone even felt that Xiao Shi was not from the Great Wu Empire at all.
Zhou Hong had a complicated expression. Although Xiao Shi’s killing of Chu Tong this time did not trigger the taboo on him, his actions were destined to make it difficult for him to establish himself in the Great Wu Empire in the future. It was even possible that he would be on the opposite side of the Great Wu Empire.
At that time, their positions would become hostile. The other Martial Demon Realm cultivators of the Great Wu Empire also realized this. Their emotions also became complicated. Although they did not know Xiao Shi’s true identity, they did not want to see Xiao Shi walk to the opposite side of the Great Wu Empire.
Xiao Shi did not think too much about it. To these people, disobeying the prince seemed to be a very serious matter, but he did not take it seriously. After all, this was not the first time he had disobeyed. Moreover, the prince was not an existence that was high and mighty in his heart and could not be offended.
Xiao Shi did not take him too seriously. He didn’t even think of catering to him and working for him.
After dealing with Chu Tong, Xiao Shi focused his gaze on those exclusive items. Although the checkpoint they were currently in was already the last checkpoint, the holy land behind was the key to whether they could control this special area.
Therefore, these exclusive items were equally important.
In the palace of the Great Wu Empire. The moment Chu Tong died, the expression of the prince suddenly changed. A mouthful of blood spewed out of his mouth. His expression was furious, and the veins on his face bulged. His eyes were filled with violence and anger.
The Martial Pavilion Master, Cheng Riyou, was shocked by the sudden situation of the prince. He went forward and asked worriedly, “Your Highness, what’s wrong?”
The prince’s eyes darkened. “Chu Tong is dead!” Although he could not see the situation in the special area, before everyone went to the special area, he had once condensed the fate of the Great Wu Empire on Chu Tong. Now, with Chu Tong’s death, this fate also dissipated, and he suffered a certain level of backlash.
“Dead!?” Cheng Riyou was shocked. He subconsciously felt that Chu Tong must have died at the hands of the Martial Demon Realm experts of the three great domains. He knew very well that in order to allow Chu Tong to successfully refine this special area, the Imperial Prince had invested a lot in him.
Unexpectedly, Chu Tong was still dead!
“It seems like those three guys didn’t hesitate to spend a lot of money to obtain this special area.” Cheng Riyou said in a low voice. He felt that the three demigods of the three major domains must have invested even more in these Martial Demon Realm experts.
This was why Chu Tong was killed. Otherwise, with the investment the Imperial Prince had made in Chu Tong, ordinary Martial Demon Realm cultivators would definitely not be his match. Furthermore, there was a group of people from the Great Wu Empire who would assist him.
“No.
“Chu Tong was not killed by a Martial Demon Realm cultivator from the three great domains. He died at the hands of a Martial Demon Realm cultivator from our Great Wu Empire.” The prince was furious. He gritted his teeth and said.
If Chu Tong had died at the hands of a Martial Demon Realm expert from the three domains, he would not have been so angry. However, Chu Tong had died at the hands of his own people. This was a little difficult for him to accept.
“He died at the hands of his own people? This … How is this possible!” Cheng Riyou was shocked. Before entering this special area, the prince had clearly left a taboo on these people. Even if someone had ill intentions towards Chu Tong, they would not be able to attack him. With this taboo power, once it was triggered, these Martial Demon Realm cultivators would instantly die.
It was impossible for anyone to kill Chu Tong. This made Cheng Riyou feel that it was unbelievable. He did not believe that these Martial Demon Realm cultivators could crack the taboos on their bodies. Even if the taboo left behind by the prince did not reach the level of a demigod, it was definitely not something that these Martial Demon Realm experts could crack.
The prince clenched his fists tightly. The surging anger made his eyes turn bloodshot, like a furious lion king. It shook the entire palace. The fate he condensed on Chu Tong’s body allowed him to see the scene before Chu Tong’s death.
From this, he saw Chu Tong begging for mercy before he died. Although the person who killed Chu Tong was a humanoid Sage covered in black scales, Chu Tong was begging the person standing behind the humanoid Sage before he died..
