Chapter 978: Chapter 975: Despair
The sudden voice was like a clap of thunder from a clear sky, causing the scalps of the thirty-plus Nascent Soul Stage experts present, as well as the seven kings, to tingle.
We must know that this is the Imperial Palace of Yanzhou, the most heavily guarded place in the Nine Provinces.
Moreover, there is a formation outside the palace.
Yet now, someone else’s voice overrides everyone else’s, how could this not be shocking?
Not to mention, someone is also sending messages on behalf of Tong Xianggu, gathering everyone in Yanzhou City.
Just the fact that he can send messages on behalf of Tong Xianggu makes it hard to believe, impossible to understand.
"Brother Tong, do you know who that messenger is?" asked the king of the Liang State Royal Family.
Tong Xianggu’s face was sullen: "If I’m not mistaken, that person should be Xu Wendong."
An elder murmured: "Is it that Ancient Sacred Body?"
"Everyone, the matter has come to this point, I will not hide it from you all," Tong Xianggu took a deep breath, his expression solemn and said, "Our Nine Provinces experts’ plan to besiege the Jade Maiden Palace has completely failed, all Nine Provinces experts have died miserably."
"What? A small Jade Maiden Palace can actually resist our Nine Provinces Cultivators?"
"Impossible, even if the Jade Maiden Palace is protected by a formation, but our Nine Provinces Imperial Family dispatched nine Nascent Soul Stage experts, how could they withstand the attack of nine Nascent Soul Stage experts?"
The majestic, sacred Golden Throne Hall was in chaos at this moment.
Obviously.
No one believed Tong Xianggu’s words, did not believe that the plan for the Nine Provinces Cultivators to besiege the Jade Maiden Palace ended in failure.
Because for them, even without dispatching the nine Nascent Soul Stage experts, it was a one-sided crushing with no suspense.
Tong Xianggu quietly watched everyone speak one after another, and then continued: "Compared to this, there is something even more difficult to accept."
The scene gradually quieted down, everyone looked at Tong Xianggu in confusion.
"I received news yesterday that the throne of the Qingzhou Imperial Family and Yong State Royal Family... has changed hands."
At this point, a bitter smile appeared on his face, he looked at the shocked or frightened faces below: "But compared to Xu Wendong sending you messages on my behalf, what does this count as?"
"After all, the Communication Token has always been in my hand!"
After a brief dead silence, the king of the Jizhou Royal Family whispered: "What exactly is going on? Why are so many unimaginable things happening?"
"Perhaps, only heaven knows!" Tong Xianggu sighed powerlessly.
He had previously not taken Xu Wendong seriously, even though his strength was extraordinary, but the Yanzhou Imperial Family possesses a Spiritual Artifact.
As long as Xu Wendong dared to appear, he was absolutely confident of killing him.
In this way, the Qingzhou Imperial Family and Yong State Royal Family would also become possessions of the Yanzhou Imperial Family.
Because of this, he did not send messages to the strong of the other six royal families.
But who would have thought.
Xu Wendong sent messages to the strong of the six royal families on his behalf.
Such a method.
Made him feel fear, and even an almost suffocating feeling.
Before the crowd could recover from the shock.
Weak sounds of breaking wind came from the Golden Throne Hall.
Everyone looked carefully.
Only to see their family members mysteriously appear before them, the family members of the seven royal families all appeared in the Golden Throne Hall of Yanzhou City.
In perfect order, without a single person missing.
"What’s going on?"
"What kind of method can transport so many people over thousands of miles simultaneously?"
"What exactly does he want to do? Why gather our clansmen here?"
The Golden Throne Hall was in disarray, the air filled with an atmosphere of fear.
Even though they were the rulers of this land.
The events of today exceeded their understanding.
Boom!
Without any warning.
A deafening thunderclap descended from the sky.
A thick bolt of lightning tore through the sky, striking above the Yanzhou Imperial Palace. Although a formation rose, it was of no effect, unable to withstand the lightning.
In the next second.
The Yanzhou Imperial Palace began to shake violently, erupting with heart-wrenching screams.
Fortunately, the people of the seven royal families reacted quickly, releasing Nascent Soul Force, wrapping their clansmen and flying out of the Golden Throne Hall, otherwise they might have been buried alive!
And just as everyone flew into the air, the Yanzhou Imperial Palace, standing tall for a thousand years, crumbled into ruins.
"Do you like this greeting gift?"
Without any warning.
Xu Wendong appeared out of thin air with Xu Fan and Si Youyou before the crowd, hands behind his back, exuding a transcendent aura, as if integrated with this heaven and earth.
"You actually came!" A chill flashed in Tong Xianggu’s eyes.
Xu Wendong countered, "Why wouldn’t I come?"
"You, an ant, what right do you have to make us look up to you? Get down here!" An elder shouted angrily, throwing a palm attack at Xu Wendong.
But just as he struck, his hand instantly turned to ash, the ashes spreading towards his body.
In an instant, he vanished between heaven and earth.
"How could this happen?"
"What kind of method is this?"
The Nascent Soul Stage experts present were all terrified, obviously not expecting a Nascent Soul Stage expert to turn to ash in an instant.
Even witnessing it firsthand, it was hard for them to believe.
"Xu Wendong, have you obtained that thing?" Tong Xianggu’s face was ashen, as if recalling some fearsome existence.
"Are you perhaps referring to this?" Xu Wendong said, opening his right hand to reveal a wooden token slowly floating in his palm.
The [Crimson] character on it was particularly striking.
"Did you actually obtain the Boundary Stele of the Kunlun Mountains Minor World?"
"Oh my god, how could such a treasure fall into your hands?"
"Impossible, this is impossible!"
The scene erupted with shrieks, no one could accept Xu Wendong obtaining the Boundary Stele, as it was the treasure they all longed for day and night!
"As I guessed, if not for this treasure, you could not have defeated the Nine Provinces experts."
"Nor would you have silently allowed the throne of the Qingzhou Imperial Family and Yong State Royal Family to change hands."
"Nor would you have sent messages to the six royal families on my behalf."
"Nor would you have gathered the clansmen of the seven royal families here." Tong Xianggu showed a bitter smile.
Although he knew the reason for the events.
He was not happy at all.
Because he knew that even if he had a Spiritual Artifact, he could not defeat Xu Wendong.
He.
Is the true ruler of this land!
Others looked at Xu Wendong with deep fear in their eyes, knowing that he could erase them all with a single thought.
Xu Wendong calmly asked, "Do you know why I gathered you all here?"
Tong Xianggu nervously swallowed: "You are a presence above this realm, you should know weak are prey to the strong, this commoner doesn’t think the Nine Provinces besieging the Jade Maiden Palace was wrong."
He knew Xu Wendong came to settle accounts, but he didn’t think he was guilty.
Xu Wendong’s mouth curled into a meaningful smile: "I am here to kill you, what does it matter whether you are guilty or not?"
