"Because you are the Director of the Supervisory Heaven Division!"
"So you knew the Imperial Sword was hidden in the Imperial Tutor's Mansion!" The King of Different Surname's face turned ashen as he voiced his thoughts.
In his mind,
The Director of the Supervisory Heaven Division was an omnipotent being.
Chen Nan: "Then did you ever consider how I found out that the Gao clan's Imperial Sword was lost?"
King of Different Surname: "The Imperial Tutor broke his promise to me and told you about the loss of my Gao clan's Imperial Sword."
"No! I did not!" The Imperial Tutor roared, "I promised to keep the secret of your Gao clan for ten days, how could I go back on my word?"
"I never leaked this matter at all."
The pupils of the King of Different Surname trembled violently, and deep horror appeared in his eyes: "I know, I know!"
"It's you!"
"It's you!"
"You are the one from the Anti-Heaven Cult!"
"You killed my son and stole my clan's Imperial Sword."
"Then you hid the Imperial Sword in the Imperial Tutor's Mansion."
"All to make us both suffer heavy losses."
At this moment,
The King of Different Surname was like a maddened lion.
All the doubts in his mind were resolved.
This made him shudder.
He never imagined that.
The Chen Nan they thought of as warm-hearted was actually someone who would stop at nothing.
Chen Nan's face was filled with a manic smile: "Indeed!"
"This was all my plan!"
"After I learned that the Imperial Tutor had left your mansion."
"When I knew you had activated the city-protecting grand array and wanted to find the lost Imperial Sword."
"When I knew he had not informed the Great Emperor about the loss of the Imperial Sword."
"At that moment!"
"The two of you became as good as dead in my eyes."
"Because I know you are a naturally suspicious person."
"If I, as the Director of the Supervisory Heaven Division, went to your Gao clan and incidentally proposed to observe the Imperial Sword."
"You would certainly try to obstruct me."
"And even suspect that the Great Emperor already knew about the loss of the Imperial Sword."
"And my proposal to visit the Gao family in seven days to observe the Imperial Sword..."
"Was merely to give you some buffer time to deal with the Imperial Tutor."
Saying this, he laughed: "But I truly didn't expect you to dig up the Imperial Tutor's ancestral grave and let the Imperial Tutor's ancestors bask in the sun."
"This point, I truly admire from the bottom of my heart!"
The King of Different Surname's face was contorted with rage: "Why did you do this to my Gao family?"
He regarded Chen Nan as a benefactor.
He saw him as a warm-hearted person.
Who would have thought.
That this person was the murderer of his son.
And.
He even intended to kill himself.
A cold glint flashed in Chen Nan's eyes: "I once vowed to destroy your Gao clan and avenge Old Han!"
The King of Different Surname's pupils trembled violently: "So, you truly are a remnant of the Anti-Heaven Cult?"
Chen Nan: "I don't care what the Anti-Heaven Cult did ten thousand years ago, but I only know one thing, Old Han showed me kindness. If I don't destroy your Gao clan, how can I quell the hatred in my heart!"
"And it would be a disservice to Old Han's spirit in heaven!"
"Gao Xi, this is all your fault!" The Imperial Tutor's face was ashen, his features distorted, and a powerful killing intent erupted from his entire body. "If it weren't for your naturally suspicious nature and being exploited by that scoundrel Chen Nan."
"How could the two of us have ended up in such a tragic state?" Saying this, he weakly raised his long sword and, under the furious gaze of the King of Different Surname, severed his legs.
Of course.
Because the King of Different Surname was already headless.
Even though his legs were severed.
He felt no pain whatsoever.
However, seeing his own legs cut off.
An earth-shattering rage rose in his heart: "Why blame me? Don't you have any responsibility for how things have come to this?"
"If you hadn't kept the secret of the lost Imperial Sword for me."
"How would that bastard Chen Nan have found an opportunity to drive a wedge between us?"
The Imperial Tutor's eyes were filled with disbelief: "So, you're blaming me?"
The King of Different Surname roared: "Zheng, don't you understand yet? It's the Great Emperor who wants to destroy you. If it weren't for that reason, how could Chen Nan have made us two tigers fight?"
"I am merely a burial object for the Great Emperor to destroy you!"
"Nothing more!"
The Imperial Tutor let out an enraged roar: "Die!"
Before the words even left his mouth.
He tightened his grip on the hilt with his last strength and leaped into the air.
He was like a god cleaving Mount Hua.
The long sword in his hand heavily struck the head of the King of Different Surname.
*Pfft!*
The head of the King of Different Surname was split open like a gourd.
Instantly divided into two.
His soul scattered.
Watching the King of Different Surname die.
The Imperial Tutor spat out a mouthful of black blood.
He laboriously turned his head towards the direction of the Imperial Palace, his eyes filled with pain: "Great Emperor, your humble servant erred. Why would you not give your humble servant a chance to atone!"
He had always believed in Buddhism.
Believing that Buddha could save all sentient beings.
And deliver them.
But the reality proved.
That Buddha was not as he had imagined.
Although Buddhas all emanated golden Buddha light.
Beneath the Buddha light, there was darkness that the Buddha light could not illuminate.
That darkness could not be gazed upon directly.
"Lord Zheng, we have been colleagues for many years. I shall escort you on your final journey!" Prime Minister Lin Yuan raised his hand and sent out a flying sword, which instantly pierced through Zheng Yu's brow.
*Pfft!*
Accompanied by a crimson mist of blood.
The Imperial Tutor's eyes went blank, and he fell to the ground gazing in the direction of the Imperial Palace.
Thus!
The era belonging to the Imperial Tutor and the King of Different Surname came to a complete end.
And Chen Nan suddenly felt a tingling sensation all over his body.
As if he had been electrocuted.
The next moment.
The Yin Messenger Token within his body flew out.
The originally black Yin Messenger Token.
Had now turned a pale gold.
The character '九' on it was exceptionally conspicuous.
"Congratulations, Lord Chen, on becoming a Level Nine Yin Messenger," Prime Minister Lin Yuan said, offering his congratulations.
He had always been paying attention to Chen Nan.
When he was still a constable,
Yuan Zun had once recommended Chen Nan to him.
Saying he was capable of great use.
However.
Chen Nan was too weak at that time.
Both in cultivation.
And in rank.
He was not worthy of his recruitment and heavy use.
After all, he was the current Prime Minister.
He couldn't possibly have a Level One Yin Messenger work for him, could he?
He had intended to recruit Chen Nan after he had grown stronger.
Who would have thought.
Before he could extend an olive branch to Chen Nan.
In just one year.
He had grown from a Level One Yin Messenger to a Level Nine Yin Messenger.
And also the Director of the Supervisory Heaven Division.
Even he.
Had to respectfully address him as Lord Chen.
Fate truly is unpredictable!
Lin Yuan continued, "Lord Chen, the Great Emperor has decreed that after you have dealt with matters here, you are to proceed to the Imperial Palace!"
"Alright."
Chen Nan agreed and then headed towards the Grand Hall of Heroes.
Although the statue of the Immovable Wisdom King had already left this realm.
However.
Ten terrifying fierce beasts were imprisoned underground.
Fierce beasts from the Investiture of the Gods era.
And Chen Nan had once promised them that when his strength allowed, he would remove the talisman and release them.
This time.
He wanted to try.
Not for any other reason.
But because those ten terrifying fierce beasts shared a common enemy with him!
He wanted to release those ten terrifying fierce beasts and let them wreak havoc on the Western Pure Land!
