Chapter 2066: Chapter 2063: Wolfish Ambitions
No matter what Xu Wendong did, even if he killed Qi Huan, the Fire Lotus Saint Sect’s top disciple, it was merely an internal affair within the Heavenly Nether Domain.
The Three Great Sects had long agreed upon this.
The journey to the Nether Ruins is fraught with danger. No matter what occurs within, no Sect may hold anyone accountable for the events there.
In this way, even if Xu Wendong killed Qi Huan, as the Sect Master of the Fire Lotus Saint Sect, Jiang Bai’en could say nothing.
Qi Huan could only blame his own lack of abilities.
But, Xu Wendong killed someone from the Imperial Family.
That’s a major problem!
The Imperial Family never reasons with people from the Heavenly Nether Domain.
“Oh? Zhu Chun was actually killed? And by someone from the Heavenly Nether Domain?” The Imperial Elder’s gaze turned sinister; he was actually indifferent to Zhu Chun’s death.
The Imperial Family has many branches, only the direct line is important.
Zhu Chun was part of an outer branch, and his status in the Imperial Family was merely that of a servant. Even if he died, it wouldn’t stir any waves.
Still, one must consider the owner’s feelings when beating the dog!
Zhu Chun was a member of the Imperial Family, he was their dog.
Before killing him, one must consider the Imperial Family’s feelings!
At this moment, the Imperial Elder coldly chuckled, anger rising in his eyes.
“What about the Princess?”
“And the others?”
“Why haven’t they come out?”
As his voice fell, the surviving members of the Imperial Family spoke up nervously.
“Imperial Elder, there are Three-Life Stone Fragments in the Nether Ruins!”
“Everyone is vying for the Three-Life Stone Fragment, so none have come out yet.”
His words sparked an explosion of shock throughout the crowd.
Countless people’s pupils constricted, their eyes fixed on the Light Gate.
They had already heard rumours that the Three-Life Stone Fragments might exist in the Nether Ruins, and the Imperial Family came not only for the Seventh-grade Treasure but also to investigate whether the fragments existed here.
Now, they had gathered solid information!
The Imperial Elder’s breathing became rapid as he grabbed the arm of the person before him, anxiously asking, “Are you sure?”
“Absolutely! Unfortunately, while searching for the Three-Life Stone with Zhu Chun and others, I was killed by Lin Mo.”
“I encountered great hardship escaping to report this.”
This member of the Imperial Family cried out, drawing everyone’s attention.
Li Lingtian held his forehead, his heart filled with helplessness.
This time, no one could protect Xu Wendong; even the entire Heavenly Nether Sect might be implicated.
Meanwhile, individuals from the Divine Yin Hall and Fire Lotus Saint Sect gleamed in their eyes.
With unified voices, they spoke in unison to the Imperial Elder on the Dragon Boat: “Imperial Elder! The Heavenly Nether Sect disciple Lin Mo committed a heinous crime by killing a member of the Imperial Family, which is the gravest of offenses!”
“We in the Heavenly Nether Domain absolutely cannot allow such a person to exist; we are willing to help the Imperial Family eliminate the Heavenly Nether Sect!”
Upon hearing this, Li Lingtian’s face drastically changed.
These two had earlier professed solidarity to resist the Da Yin Dynasty, but now they had directly betrayed them?
“Heh, well, very well!”
The Imperial Elder’s pupils constricted, his face full of evil qi.
He didn’t care whether Xu Wendong killed Zhu Chun; he only cared about the Three-Life Stone Fragment!
If acquired, the national strength of the Da Yin Dynasty could be vastly enhanced!
Such a terrifying item must certainly be obtained!
Other factions present also wore expressions of delight; if their people obtained the Three-Life Stone Fragment, they must protect it!
They must never let the Imperial Family find out that the fragment is with them.
Only when the remaining people come out can the truth be known.
At this moment, the members of the Heavenly Nether Sect also emerged.
The Heavenly Nether Sect initially sent thirty disciples inside; Duan Yuan and Zhou Ran had perished, so logically twenty-eight should return, but only twenty-six led by Li Jiayin exited the Light Gate.
Overall, the Heavenly Nether Sect disciples were mostly intact, but the core disciples suffered severe losses.
At this moment, Li Lingtian hurried forward, anxiously asking.
“Jiayin, where is your junior brother?”
“And Zhou Ran?”
Li Lingtian already knew Duan Yuan was dead, which didn’t worry him; Duan Yuan’s death mattered little as long as Xu Wendong lived.
But just then, Li Jiayin suddenly said: “Master, my junior brother has betrayed the Heavenly Nether Sect!”
“He obtained the Three-Life Stone, fell to deviation, completely refusing to acknowledge our disciples, and even killed senior brother.”
These words, once spoken, shocked everyone.
Be it the Imperial Family or the various forces of the Da Yin Dynasty.
They were all dumbfounded.
Everyone originally intended to target the Heavenly Nether Sect, but now the sect was also a victim?
“Please, Sect Master, take action and kill Lin Mo!”
“This person harbors a wolf’s ambition, disregarding all ties after obtaining the Three-Life Stone Fragment.”
“Sect Master, please avenge senior brother.”
The Heavenly Nether Sect disciples voiced together, each with an indignant expression.
Li Lingtian was stunned; he might understand the other disciples’ motives for doing this, but even Li Jiayin said so?
What exactly happened in the Nether Ruins?
“Master, please order, pursue Lin Mo!”
Li Jiayin bowed and spoke, and Zhao Ying’er also stepped forth, with a trace of reluctance in her eyes but echoing Li Jiayin.
“Hmph, what do you mean by this?”
The Sect Master of the Fire Lotus Saint Sect, Jiang Bai’en, saw through the Heavenly Nether Sect crowd’s intentions with a cold laugh.
“Do you think this will wash away your crime of killing a member of the Imperial Family?”
Jiang Bai’en disregarded any previous alliances.
A Heavenly Nether Sect disciple killed the top disciple of his Fire Lotus Saint Sect; such a grievance was unbearable. Though rules prevented him from pursuing it, since Xu Wendong blindly killed a member of the Imperial Family, it was an opportunity to leverage.
If this chance can be used to crush the Heavenly Nether Sect, Jiang Bai’en welcomes it.
“The killing of the Imperial Family member has nothing to do with the Heavenly Nether Sect.”
At this moment, a woman emerged from the white light, it was Zhu Xuan, the Princess of the Da Yin Dynasty.
The Imperial Elder quickly descended from the sky to guard Zhu Xuan.
“Your Highness Princess, what on earth happened? Was there truly a Three-Life Stone?”
The Imperial Elder hurriedly asked.
He was solely concerned with the Three-Life Stone’s whereabouts now.
“Shouldn’t you be concerned about me first?” Zhu Xuan said, full of displeasure.
The Imperial Elder smiled awkwardly and could only ask: “Did the Princess find the Seventh-grade Treasure?”
“Of course I did, and it was with the help of the Heavenly Nether Sect’s senior sister.” Zhu Xuan immediately replied, “The Heavenly Nether Sect is the Heavenly Nether Sect, Lin Mo is Lin Mo; Lin Mo took the Three-Life Stone Fragment, was troubled by its evil qi, went berserk, and even tried to kill me.”
“Thankfully, many disciples of the Heavenly Nether Sect protected me at the cost of their lives, saving me.”
“So this matter is unrelated to the Heavenly Nether Sect.”
