Chapter 634: Answer This Lord!
Chapter 635: Destroy Nation
The moment the man appeared, Xia Feng guessed his identity.
The Empire’s Fourth Pillar, the current Pillar State, Shang Jue.
Xia Feng’s black eyes narrowed slightly, but Shang Jue did not seem to have manifested his true form. Instead, he appeared in a projection.
As the phantom of the black and gold robe condensed, the divine aura surged and spread out, and those ancient, majestic vertical pupils, like dragon eyes, casually glanced over.
“Buzz—” Xia Feng’s black eyes involuntarily contracted. The terrifying pressure, like collapsing mountains and tilting heavens, directly slammed onto his shoulder bones, causing his knees to creak with sharp grinding sounds.
“Buzz—! Buzz—!!”
The mere oppressive might made Xia Feng unable to move an inch.
Although this oppressive might was not as terrifying as that of a god, it still reached the level of the Dark Controller Sage.
A complete realm crush!
At the same time, due to the descent of Shang Jue’s projection, the boundless异空间 formed by the Naya Illusionary Realm began to shake. It flickered like a broken light bulb, its light extinguishing and flashing.
In the Great Hall, the guests who had been unaware of anything happening were suddenly startled and looked up abruptly.
Although they still couldn’t see through the golden light barrier of the ceiling, they could clearly feel that a terrifying existence had descended!
That existence was as bright as a lighthouse on a dark sea. Everyone could clearly feel its presence through their mental power, and a sense of dread and fear arose in their hearts.
This is… Pillar State Shang Jue?!
Why has Your Excellency the Pillar State come?
Could it be that he personally came to celebrate Mr. Dong Jun’s birthday? Everyone was astonished in their hearts, standing at attention with solemn expressions. Those who were lounging also quickly got up and stood respectfully with their hands at their sides.
It was like citizens meeting their king.
Dipus also had to put down his wine and stand up, looking up at the barrier above with a frown, sighing in his heart.
So many things had happened in this short span of half a minute that he had not anticipated.
Through the special spirit pressure vision, he thought that the mysterious person holding Freya hostage was finally about to be dealt with by Ye Li Dongjun’s ultimate move.
The next moment, Ye Li Dongjun’s spirit pressure state suddenly collapsed like an avalanche.
He had to admit that this mysterious person’s methods were indeed too bizarre.
But unfortunately, even Dipus hadn’t expected that Pillar State Shang Jue would value Ye Li Dongjun so highly.
For a method like this divine projection, it generally could not be formed without the assistance of various rare spirit materials and the prior arrangement of formations for summoning.
Unless the god was willing to deplete their essence and forcefully project themselves.
And the farther the distance between the two parties, the more essence a god’s projection would consume, the fewer methods the projection could use, and the weaker its strength would be.
Pillar State Shang Jue had now forcefully projected himself.
As he pondered, Dipus’s frown deepened. It seemed he needed to re-evaluate Ye Li Dongjun’s status in Shang Jue’s eyes.
In addition, the assassination attempt on Ye Li Dongjun today had indeed been somewhat reckless. However, luckily, the Peach-faced person had taken the blow for him, and some things had been tested.
It was not a wasted trip.
“Why did this dog summon him?” Uncle Wei, leaning on his cane, stood in the shadows, his gaze growing more and more solemn as he stared at Shang Jue’s projection, unable to hold back his thoughts. “This kid Xia Feng, he’s not going to mess up, is he?” He didn’t want to visit Xia Feng’s grave this time next year.
However, unable to know the specific situation inside, and with Xia Feng saying he had his own plan, Uncle Wei dared not rashly enter, his brow furrowed.
“Tap, tap, tap.” Under Uncle Wei’s sleeve, the rhythm of his fingers tapping on the wooden cane became faster and faster, like the glistening compound eyes of a thin winged cicada crawling on a ring.
“Your Excellency the Pillar State.” Jian Xin’s heart was surprised for a moment before she quickly turned and bowed respectfully towards the distant sky.
She felt a slight relief, thinking that with Shang Jue’s arrival, Mr. Dong Jun should be able to survive.
The phantom man sat back on the black and gold throne, his ancient and majestic crimson-gold vertical pupils first looked at Xia Feng, and then at Freya, whom Xia Feng was holding hostage.
With just a glance, his gaze finally turned to the youth with different pupils on the wheelchair.
Golden divine light, like continuous fine rain, descended on Ye Li Dongjun’s head, the warm and cool sensation repairing his soul.
In his torn, bleeding eye sockets, countless tiny white hands were still crawling, but at this moment, two eyeballs rolled out from the sea of hands in the center of his eye sockets, and his red and blue different pupils ferociously glowed with bloodlight.
Ye Li Dongjun’s consciousness gradually recovered. His heart was still filled with panic and fear, and only then did he realize that he had just brushed past the gates of hell!
And all of this was because… that insect!
!
Anger and the sting of real humiliation surged into his heart again, causing Ye Li Dongjun’s nerves to throb painfully.
In fact, what was most humiliating to him was not being… but that the fruits of his meticulous planning had been snatched away by Xia Feng! And it had been given to Xia Feng by his own hands!
The power of the Dragon Cultivation Fruit within Leya was likely absorbed by Xia Feng. Even if Xia Feng wasn’t a half-dragon, it would be greatly beneficial.
Thankfully, Pillar State Shang Jue had not abandoned him and had arrived at the last moment to save him.
In addition, although he had been thoroughly played by this insect Xia Feng, and his head was quite green, his Holy Solution plan today had been a complete success!
With the pseudo S-grade spirit artifact in hand, there was nothing to fear.
After all, no matter how bizarre Xia Feng’s methods were, he couldn’t possibly steal his spirit artifact, right?
Through this ordeal, Ye Li Dongjun truly understood that there was nothing more important in this world than being alive, and being powerfully alive!
“Crack, crack—” He twisted his neck left and right, and looked back at Xia Feng, his ashen face filled with a chilling paleness. The slowly curling lips still held traces of frenzied madness, and his throat continuously emitted strange, low laughs, full of contempt and mockery, “What, got any more tricks?”
“Calm your heart.” A majestic, indifferent voice echoed through heaven and earth.
Ye Li Dongjun’s grim expression froze. He slowly restrained himself, and the bloodlight in his different pupils quickly dissipated, becoming gentle and calm. He bowed respectfully towards the existence on the throne in the distance.
“According to the Sumeru Convention, the ninth seat should belong to the Ye Li Clan.”
The divine voice of the man in the black and gold robe boomed like a bell, and his crimson-gold divine eyes looked down at Xia Feng, “Human, from which faction do you come?”
The Sumeru Convention? Xia Feng’s black eyes narrowed. According to this, the nine seats for the Sumeru Throne had already been decided?
Or rather, this ninth seat had been pre-arranged?
The factions of the other eight seat holders would not cause trouble for Ye Li Dongjun.
And the factions that obtained the top eight seats would undoubtedly be the major super-forces of the empire, both overt and covert, the absolute rulers of the empire.
From this, one could even further infer that in order for Ye Li Dongjun to accumulate Life Points and obtain a seat, the empire’s high-ranking officials had actually seen everything he did in the garden and White Emperor City, but had chosen to turn a blind eye.
Although he had long witnessed the corruption of the empire, Xia Feng hadn’t expected it to be so deeply rotten.
This was a level that required the destruction of a nation!
