Saint Emperor Devourer of Heaven

“Hmm, that makes sense. The choice isn't in that Jun Wu Xie's hands.”

Several people nodded.

The young man's face was full of confidence as he said, “If he doesn't come, I will issue a challenge in front of the entire city, forcing him to come out and fight! At that time, I will suppress him in public and make him kneel to accept the decree! Let everyone in the Emperor Beginning Star see the situation clearly, that even their strongest of the younger generation is just a weakling in front of my Heavenly Desolate Clan's young supreme!”

“Huang Yu, are you really confident that you can suppress him? Many people in the starry sky are speculating that Jun Wu Xie has most likely entered the realm of the legendary Antiquity!”

Several youths from the Heavenly Desolate Clan reminded him in this way. They were still wary of Jun Wu Xie, including the youth who delivered the message yesterday.

Their confidence came from the family behind them. If it were themselves facing him, they would not have the confidence. Otherwise, when delivering the message yesterday, they wouldn't have left so directly. They might have even ascended Sovereign King Mountain to personally force him to kneel and receive the decree.

“What if he is a legend of Antiquity?” The youth called Huang Yu waved his sleeve and laughed. “I am also in the late stage of legend, and I have already stepped into the Semi-Saint realm, with suppression in terms of realm. Jun Wu Xie is only in the Saint Sect realm. What does he have to compete with me? Suppressing him won't take ten rounds!”

“Hmm, Huang Yu's confidence comes from his strength. A Semi-Saint fighting a Saint Sect, even if their talent and growth are not as good, can still easily suppress him. That day, when Huang Yu fought against Mu Yunxi, he only used 50% of his strength and didn't even use the Ascension Technique. Mu Yunxi's talent and growth are also extremely high, on par with Huang Yu in the same realm.”

In the hall, one of the elders spoke like this.

Another elder stroked his beard and nodded, saying, “Jun Wu Xie is naturally much stronger than Mu Yunxi, but even so, facing Huang Yu who is displaying his full strength, he is destined not to be a match. Being able to last more than ten rounds would be the limit.”

… …

Time quickly approached noon.

In the Heavenly Desolate Mansion, the faces of some people from the Heavenly Desolate Clan became very gloomy.

“It seems that the one surnamed Jun is going to defy the Holy Son's decree!”

“Outrageous! The Holy Son cherishes talent and is willing to accept him as a battle general under his command. What a great favor this is, yet he dares to be so ignorant of current affairs!”

Several young men spoke with a cold tone.

“Since that's the case, then let me take action personally. I will suppress him in public and make him kneel in submission and accept the decree!”

Huang Yu had a sneer on his lips as he walked out of the hall and looked up at the sky.

The sun slowly moved to the very center.

A cold light burst out from Huang Yu's eyes in an instant.

He leaped into the high sky, his true energy surging, and the wild aura swept in all directions, causing the sky to change color.

That wild true energy alarmed many people, who looked at the arrogant and powerful figure in the sky in shock.

“It's Huang Yu, the strongest young supreme of the Heavenly Desolate Mansion. What is he going to do?”

In the city, countless people were discussing.

“Jun Wu Xie, the sect master of the Immortal Execution Sword Sect! You are so audacious, daring to defy my clan's Holy Son's decree. Who gave you the courage?” Huang Yu's voice was like thunder, resounding throughout the capital, causing the mountains and rivers to tremble in the sound: “Is it because you claim to be the strongest of the younger generation of the Emperor Beginning Star that you defy my clan's Holy Son's decree? It seems you are quite proud! If so, do you dare to fight me, Huang Yu, at noon tomorrow? Let me tell you that in front of my Heavenly Desolate Clan's younger generation, you are just a strong ant! My clan's Holy Son accepting you as a battle general under his command is a great favor to you!”

Huang Yu's voice was full of wildness and strength, constantly echoing and rumbling in the sky and earth.

The people of the capital were in an uproar, and many were filled with anger.

“Arrogant! Daring to take Jun Shen as a battle general, the people of the extraterritorial Heavenly Desolate Clan are too hateful!”

“He has issued a challenge to Jun Shen. Let's see how Jun Shen deals with him! I don't believe that the extraterritorial is so invincible? Jun Shen will definitely not be weaker than them!”

… …

“I'm afraid that Jun Shen will find it difficult to compete with the extraterritorial Heavenly Desolate Clan this time.” Someone sighed like this, with a hint of schadenfreude: “I heard that Jun Shen returned yesterday, but there has been no movement. Some time ago, the Holy Maiden Yunxi and others suffered heavy injuries. She is Jun Shen's woman, but Jun Shen endured it and didn't come forward. Think about it…”

“Well, we are not as good as the extraterritorial. This is a fact, and we need to see the reality clearly. Although Jun Shen is strong, and I respect him very much, being inferior is just being inferior. We can't just be self-absorbed here just because we respect Jun Shen, right? Is it really that difficult to admit that the extraterritorial cultivators are strong?”

“The extraterritorial Heavenly Desolate Clan is so powerful. In fact, if Jun Shen is willing to attach himself to the Heavenly Desolate Clan, it would be more beneficial than harmful to our Great Zhou. I heard that there will be a doomsday torrent in the future. If we attach ourselves to the Heavenly Desolate Clan, our chances of gaining a foothold in the doomsday torrent will be greater.”

“That's right. If Jun Shen offends the Heavenly Desolate Clan, not only will we not be able to attach ourselves to them, but the Heavenly Desolate Clan may also punish us, involving our entire 900 million people of the Great Zhou!”

“I think Jun Shen should accept the decree and not put us in danger because of his own dignity!”

… …

Although most people regarded Jun Wu Xie as their faith, with absolute trust and awe, there were still a small number of people who stood up in this situation, expressing their unique views, implicitly criticizing him and labeling him as disregarding the lives of the entire Great Zhou for his own selfishness.

“You are farting!” When people heard such words, they were immediately so angry that they trembled and scolded: “Where were you keyboard warriors when the Xilin army was approaching the city and the Great Zhou was about to be destroyed? At that time, you didn't even dare to fart, shrinking back and shivering! Without Jun Shen, would you still have the life to stand here and talk nonsense?”

“What contribution have you keyboard warriors made to the Great Zhou? Everything you enjoy in the Great Zhou, all the resources are given to you by Jun Shen for free. Which country in the world has such a blessed land? Where does the spiritual rice you eat come from?”

“Damn it, you bunch of bastards who call someone father when you pick up the bowl and scold your mother when you put down the chopsticks, you were born with a slave mentality, right? Your knees are rooted to the ground? You lick the extraterritorial so much, aren't you cheap, is your stepdad really better than your real dad?”

… …

Someone sneered and retorted: “Tsk tsk, isn't the extraterritorial powerful? Aren't we just stating the facts? Does the Great Zhou only allow one voice? If a country only allows one voice, then all the voices must be lies, because they are afraid of the emergence of a second voice, so they can't brainwash you!”

“You are spouting stinky nonsense! Is blindly praising the extraterritorial and belittling your own country what you call a different voice? If you raise a dog, it will still know to take on the responsibility of guarding the home. You enjoy all kinds of resources from the dynasty, but you are ungrateful, you are not even as good as a dog!”

“Yes, yes, yes, we won, we lost three battles out of three recently, we won so much, haha!”

“Hahaha, did you hear Jun Shen respond? Huang Yu has strongly launched a challenge, but Jun Shen remains silent. Is this what you call winning? Is Jun Shen's silence a sign that we won? We won so much, hahaha!”

“I X! You bunch of ungrateful bastards, if I were Jun Shen, I would definitely throw you out of the Great Zhou, you don't deserve to stay here!”

… …

“Jun Wu Xie, are you afraid?” Huang Yu strongly launched a challenge, but did not get a response from Jun Wu Xie. He sneered again and again, wild and flamboyant, and said: “If you are afraid, come out now, kneel down and listen to the decree, I can spare you! Otherwise, tomorrow I will ascend Sovereign King Mountain, suppress you, break your legs, and then let you listen to the decree! Who dares to defy my clan's Holy Son's decree? You are not qualified!”

After Huang Yu finished speaking, he waited in the air for a while, but still did not get any response. He laughed wildly and fell into the Heavenly Desolate Mansion.

The entire capital was extremely noisy, and everyone was discussing this matter. People were arguing with that small group of people, arguing endlessly.

… …

On Sovereign King Mountain, Jun Wu Xie and the others were sitting around a stone table, their expressions very calm, but a cold light flashed in their eyes from time to time.

“That Huang Yu is the one who injured my sister Yunxi, and now he is clamoring like this. Why don't you directly kill him, husband?”

Lilia was very angry. The people of the Heavenly Desolate Mansion were too arrogant, daring to provoke them so much in front of everyone in the country they controlled.

“He won't live past dark. Be patient.”

Jun Wu Xie said lightly. His Saint Realm divine sense had already covered the entire capital, and his powerful soul had locked onto many people.

Those who stood up at this time to speak for the extraterritorial, mocking their own dynasty, and being ungrateful, were all locked onto by him.

The capital was very noisy and clamorous. As the war of words escalated, more and more ungrateful people jumped out.

The number of people Jun Wu Xie locked onto increased.

“Young master, are you locking onto those people?”

Ling Fei's soul was very strong, and she noticed his actions.

“Yes.” Jun Wu Xie said indifferently: “The entire dynasty must be twisted into one rope, with the same will, so that they can face the impact of the doomsday torrent in the future. Such voices must be cut off. Today is a good opportunity, let them argue, I want to see how many people will stand up and speak for the extraterritorial.”

“I think they are just too full!” Yan Qingcheng said coldly: “In the past, the living environment of the Great Zhou was far from as good as it is now, and some people were ungrateful; now the environment of the Great Zhou is so superior, these people enjoy a good life, fine clothes and delicacies, and have free cultivation resources provided, but they are still not satisfied!”

Ling Fei sighed and said: “There are all kinds of beings, and the population base is too large, so there will always be some people with intellectual disabilities. They seem very clever on weekdays, but they cannot empathize with others. They have incomplete emotional and mental development, are selfish and self-interested, and have anti-social psychology. In secular terms, they are mentally retarded. I hope this time they can be cleaned up completely.”

The noise in the capital has not stopped, but has intensified, and the deafening clamor can be heard even hundreds of miles away.

After all, there are no ordinary people now, everyone has more or less cultivation, and they speak with full vigor, and their voices are very loud.

The arguments weren't just happening in the real world; people were also arguing on the rune network platform within the Starry Sky Rune Communicator.

Time quickly passed, and it was now afternoon.

The sun began to set in the west.

Even as dusk approached, the arguing showed no sign of stopping.

"Lingfei, contact the ministers of the court immediately. Have them identify those who are too afraid to show their faces in reality, those who run to the Starry Sky Rune Platform to support the foreign rune accounts. Arrest them all, strip them of their imperial household registration, and banish them from the city!"

"Yes."

Lingfei followed his instructions and contacted the ministers of the court.

These ministers were all powerhouses of the Xuanyuan clan, and upon receiving the order, they immediately took action.

The afterglow of the setting sun adorned the land, painting a beautiful landscape of mountains and rivers.

"Let's go. The moment of bloodshed has arrived."

Jun Wuxie withdrew his gaze from the sunset on the horizon and stood up, heading towards the capital. The normally peaceful aura around him had vanished, replaced by the feeling of an unsheathed, peerless killing weapon, causing the women around him to feel a chill.
