Chapter 298: Chapter 136: Chi Xiao’s Long Cry, Enemies Meet

The sword sound of Chi Xiao was stirring.

It was like a dragon emerging from the abyss, resonating in all directions, fixing the expressions of everyone in the Taihe Palace, showing astonishment, joy, and a hint of panic on the faces of many masters from the Academy.

The imperial guards were all solemn. The chief eunuch strode forward, his tone intense:

"Who exactly are you?"

"Do I really need to teach you the principles of loyalty and patriotism?!! Masters, why did you barge into the Forbidden Palace? Are you rebelling?"

"Is the Academy that has assisted His Majesty for eight hundred years also rebelling?"

Boom!!!

A surge of energy erupted.

Before the eunuch, not lacking in cultivation, an elderly man with disheveled white hair appeared. In an instant, he felt his body diminish as the elder loomed enormously with an ice-cold gaze, his dark blue robe fluttering, emanating a fearsome aura.

The complexion of the elderly eunuch paled instantly.

His instinct was to retreat.

The next moment, Si Wei had grasped his throat and lifted him, speaking indifferently:

"Rebellion has occurred."

"How is it?"

A room filled with unspoken terror.

The eunuch’s face turned utterly pale, his legs weakened.

Si Wei, indifferent, slammed the eunuch to the ground and said directly:

"If you cannot achieve it, don’t speak of it."

"Nothing but a barking dog."

"Your master is already unable to protect himself; you don’t realize the need for caution and still create enemies here. What folly is this?"

The eunuch spat blood, terror splitting his mind.

The elder stepped over his body, and stood in the center of the vast Taihe Palace, where the imperial guards held up their weapons, but dared not advance towards the ordinarily robed, white-haired elder.

Only the eunuch was smashed onto the ground.

Si Wei stood before the locked Chi Xiao Sword, his eyes filled with sadness.

He reached out and touched the sword, now entwined with numerous red runes and cords, thinking back to his youth and hearing about the Red Emperor who valiantly conquered the world thrice, the Great Emperor who had passed away, and his weapon being locked here out of fear by later generations. Si Wei’s expression turned sorrowful as he whispered:

"Chi Xiao..."

"The Divine Weapon of the Red Emperor, adorned with a seven-colored pearl and Jiuhua jade, its blade ever frosted, brilliance striking people, truly what ’Guang Ya’ relates as severing snakes, a Divine Weapon contended with the Overlord’s Battle Halberd for supremacy over the world eight hundred years ago."

"Red Emperor!"

He grasped the red cords hiding runes inside, looked up, and shouted:

"Your descendants are unworthy!"

"They used alchemist’s cords to lock up your weapon that fought for supremacy."

His voice was full of sorrow and ridicule:

"And yet today’s realm, such a person, is also an Emperor!"

"Such a childish one!"

"Is also an Emperor!"

The faces of all the masters, imperial guards, and eunuchs turned deathly pale.

Then they saw the madman reach out, heedless of the radiant cords tightening around his palms, indelibly marking them. He persistently exerted force, and all the red cords shattered. He recklessly snapping all the cords apart!

The chariot adorned with feathered armor at the War Chariot’s head appeared, and the Emperor appeared at the palace gate, breathing heavily, his expression fixed.

Ancient coins from the Ancient Emperor’s era scattered on the ground, making a distinct clink.

The other masters bowed in respect, while the imperial guards knelt on the ground, pressing their hands against the breastplate of their armor. That eunuch, who had cared for the Great Emperor since childhood, stretched out his hand, his mouth bloody, saying: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

"Save..."

He couldn’t complete his words, as a foot stepped on his back, pressing him into the ground.

Si Wei turned around, his robe fluttering. He held aloft the whistling Chi Xiao Sword in his right hand, standing facing the Emperor, then raised the weapon, pointing its hilt towards the Emperor, his tone calm: "Emperor, Chi Xiao Sword did not sound for you."

"Did you know this?!"

The Great Emperor of Central State, at least nominally the supreme ruler of the world, stared intensely at the sword in front and the madman capable of lifting it. He stepped forward slightly, clutching a jaded bead tied to his wrist.

The jade bead emitted a subtle luminous flow, and soon an aura assembled beside the Emperor, transforming into a red Divine Dragon, its Scale Armor vivid and distinct, the dragon’s head raised, looking towards Si Wei.

The Emperor spoke: "But, Master, is not the sword’s howl due to the presence of the enemy?"

"Its sound fierce, like the roar of dragons, like warhorses trembling in unison, the Sword being drawn from the sheath."

"It’s not the grand sound of an imperial ruler."

Si Wei’s eyes slightly narrowed as he looked at the person before him.

And just then, the howling of the Chi Xiao Sword suddenly stopped, as if the presence that had previously activated it had disappeared. It was like an army engaging in formation but failing to find their target. Si Wei slightly lowered his gaze and looked at the Emperor displaying the Red Dragon Dharma Form, then tossed back his hand.

The Divine Weapon Chi Xiao was placed back on its stand.

"Thus, this sword did not howl for you either."

He said.

The Emperor’s expression was fixed, yet he still maintained his dignity.

The elder strode forth, his robes swirling. Ahead, the elite Central State Imperial Army, clad in Armor, uncontrollably retreated. The Emperor smiled, his fingers nearly piercing his palm under his robe.

Reportedly, the Emperor returned exceedingly furious, smashing many ancient artifacts.

But Si Wei did not even look at him, simply saying:

"Tell those six people from the Academy, no, tell the Academy and the world."
