Chapter 1356: Chapter 510: Loyalty and Righteousness Killing the Monarch_3

This power converged upon the Divine Beast. The Divine Beast roared furiously, managing to repel several attacks, but ultimately got tainted by a portion of the power which put it into a diseased state. Subsequently, its body shrunk slowly and was caught in the void by a snow-white jade hand, which then disappeared.

Master Sun heard the National Master’s voice in his ears: "It’s done."

All the people around were terrified by the peculiar celestial phenomena. They hid wherever they could, and those who couldn’t hide had no choice but to lie on the ground trembling.

This celestial phenomenon came and went quickly. After the punishment, the Little Black Tortoise dissolved. Everyone looked around at one another wondering: what just happened?

Master Sun laughed to himself and quietly returned to the Summit Metropolitan Office to "wait for the news".

The Imperial Guards stationed around the Flying Carriage Palaces were suddenly awakened and rushed into the Doomful Mountain and Sea crying out in sorrow.

In the capital, the Imperial Ancestral Temple housed the plaques of successive ancestors of the Wood Dynasty dynasty. Another hall held a soul lamp for each living member of the imperial family. The lamp at the top belonged to the current Emperor.

There were eight young eunuchs and four strong cultivators in charge of guarding and looking after this hall in the Imperial Ancestral Temple. However, these people were comparatively leisured, as they had offended someone in the palace and had been disgraced here. Nowadays, the Wood Dynasty was stable, so who would dare to plot against the imperial sons and grandsons?

At this moment, the young eunuch on duty was dozing off in a corner. Perhaps he had a nightmare or something, as he suddenly shuddered awake. He rubbed his eyes and yawned, ready to sleep a little longer. In his drowsy state, it seemed like he saw something and mumbled: "Why has the lamp at the top gone out..."

Immediately, he was fully awake. His own words scared him awake. He stared at the soul lamp at the top, which represented the Emperor.

"Ah——"

A sharp scream echoed straight up into the sky from within the hall.

...

The two Seventh Level cultivators of the Wood Dynasty’s Imperial Family used their Divine Powers to cover thousands of miles instantly, and arrived at the boundary of the Doomful Mountain and Sea. Master Lane, having received the news, also rushed from a nearby place to meet them.

Having calmed down from his initial panic, Harriet still staunchly defended the interest of the entire Imperial Family. The Emperor’s sudden death had shaken the foundation of the state, and the most important thing right now was to establish a new monarch to maintain the overall situation. He should not come to investigate the cause of the "late Emperor’s" death, but should stay in the capital to assist the fifth prince.

However, the sudden death of the Emperor was too significant, and even Harriet was confused for a while. When the Ancestral Patriarch spoke out, he simply followed along.

The Ancestral Patriarch hadn’t left the depths of the palace for several thousand years. He wore simple clothes, and his face was extremely old, with wrinkles spreading from his face down to his neck. He had struggled for years in the Seventh Level by extending his life through the secret methods of the Imperial Family. His strength was undoubtedly strong, but his understanding of the Great Path may not be better than Harriet and Abner Lane. The most direct manifestation of this was that he could not control his overwhelming momentum.

Standing in front of the entrance to the Extinction Domain, the Ancestral Patriarch’s power surged like a tide, layering outwards. It seemed quite astonishing, but it actually showed that he couldn’t fully control his own power.

Outside the Extinction Domain and near the Flying Carriage Palaces, more than 20,000 Imperial Guards were kneeling all over the hills, waiting for their fate.

The Ancestral Patriarch flew into a rage, shouting: "What’s the use of these people? Kill them all for the Emperor’s funeral!" Master Lane couldn’t bear it, and advised: "Old Master, the key now is to clarify what happened to His Majesty first, and deal with these people later."

With a humph of anger, the Ancestral Patriarch, with his back to them, was the first to walk into the Doomful Mountain and Sea. Master Lane and Harriet followed closely behind. There really wasn’t much to investigate. When the National Master made a move, he invariably left no loose ends.

They found a large number of corpses of the Imperial Guards. Harriet opened his mini-world and quickly found the Emperor’s corpse. But Joanna was nowhere to be found.

At this time, although Master Lane still doubted Joanna’s motivation to kill the emperor, he revealed Joanna’s identity in full detail.

The Ancestral Patriarch’s rage burned the sky of the Extinction Domain into a crimson hue. He cursed at Master Lane: "You treacherous minister! You are simply unbearably foolish! Have you all lost your minds to allow a spy from the Northern Plains to stay beside His Majesty?"

Ironically, it was Harriet, who had already calmed down, who understood Master Lane’s actions and persuaded, "Ancestral Patriarch, Master Lane is not to blame for this. The Emperor wouldn’t listen to any advice."

Master Lane also suppressed his rage, blaming the Emperor’s frivolous and absurd behavior for his own death. If he had tried to dissuade him with all his might, not only would the Emperor ignore it, he would also impose punishment on him. Was he trying to force him to rebel?

Harriet tried to steer the development of the situation back to the path he wanted: "The Emperor was killed by a witch from the Northern Plains. The plan now should be to establish a new monarch as soon as possible, build a tomb to bury the Emperor, and then lead the army north to annihilate the 36 Tribes of the Northern Plains in order to avenge the Emperor!"

...

Master Sun, while in the Summit Metropolitan Office, received a secret message from Master Lane. After learning about this "catastrophic tragedy", he flew out from the Looking Cloud Cliff in a rage, fiercely soaring towards the north.

Master Sun’s subordinates anxiously chased after him: "Master, where are you going..."

Master Sun was already hundreds of miles away. His voice, full of anger, rolled back like muffled thunder: "I’m going to behead the Great Chieftain of the Northern Plains!"
