678: Come to the feast and kill the Great Ye Emperor

Great Ye Imperial Palace.

In a square, red carpets were laid, lanterns hung, and it was filled with festive joy.

On both sides of the red carpet, many tables and chairs were placed, with quite a few people sitting upright. These people all came from various large and small forces in Xuanji Province.

And at the very front sat a middle-aged man in a golden robe with a dignified face.

He was precisely Emperor Daye, with a cultivation of the mid-stage Guixu Realm.

Emperor Daye glanced at everyone present and said in a deep voice, "That Xie Wushi is cruel and ruthless. He killed my son and the strong cultivators of my Imperial Family. I will never rest until he is dead."

He paused in his tone, "Now the Myriad Sword Holy Land has also spoken. I hope everyone will cooperate with my Imperial Family. As long as that Xie Wushi is killed, there will certainly be great benefits for everyone."

"..."

Upon hearing this, everyone remained silent.

Asking them to investigate the whereabouts of Xie Wushi was no problem, but asking them to take action was wishful thinking.

That Xie Wushi could even kill a strong cultivator like the Little Sword King. If they dared to act, they would surely die.

"..."

Emperor Daye raised an eyebrow when he saw that no one spoke.

This time, he invited people from various large and small forces here, not only to discuss how to deal with Xie Wushi but also to gain control over all the forces in Xuanji Province.

There were actually only four major sects in Xuanji Province. Just recently, the Ancient Sword Sect seemed to have been annihilated.

The other three major forces had strongest cultivators only in the early Guixu stage, with none in the mid-Guixu stage. His Great Ye Dynasty could completely take them over.

"amitābha! Does Emperor Daye wish to kill that Xie Weilou?"

Just then, a monk in white robes, as handsome as a demon, flew down.

The newcomer was not Heartless, but Xie Weilou!

"Hmm? This monk... he's the Demon Monk Heartless!"

When everyone saw Xie Weilou in this attire, their gazes sharpened, and they quickly stood up.

Only the Myriad Sword Holy Land and the Great Ye Dynasty were pursuing Xie Wushi, but this monk was being pursued by many Holy Lands and even some old geezers.

They never expected him to dare to appear here. To survive the pursuit of so many Holy Land strong cultivators and so many old geezers, this monk was truly not simple, probably even more terrifying than Xie Wushi.

When Emperor Daye saw Xie Weilou, his heart also tightened, and he stood up, cupping his fists, "May I ask what brings Master Heartless to my Imperial Palace?"

Even some old geezers found it difficult to kill this monk, which showed how terrifying he truly was.

With his mid-Guixu cultivation, he wasn't confident in facing this monk.

Xie Weilou put his palms together, a gentle smile appearing on his face, "I heard that Emperor Daye is celebrating his three hundredth birthday, so this poor monk has come to partake in the feast."

Emperor Daye narrowed his eyes upon hearing this, but still said, "Even so, Master, please be seated!"

"No problem."

Xie Weilou smiled and walked to a seat nearby.

He glanced at the items on the table, all of which were meat and fine wine.

Bang!

The smile on Xie Weilou's face vanished, becoming incredibly gloomy, and he directly kicked the table away.

"Hmm? Master, what is the meaning of this?"

Emperor Daye was stunned for a second, not knowing what madness this monk was displaying.

Xie Weilou said with a darkened face, "This poor monk does not eat meat!"

"..."

After hearing this, Emperor Daye raised an eyebrow.

You came yourself; I didn't invite you. If you don't eat meat, then don't eat it. Why are you getting angry?

Xie Weilou stared coldly at Emperor Daye, "It seems that today's feast needs a different ritual, otherwise this poor monk will not be happy eating."

Emperor Daye's heart tightened, and he subconsciously became alert, "What ritual does Master wish to change to?"

Xie Weilou sneered, "Such a joyous banquet makes this poor monk uncomfortable. It would be better to change it to a funeral banquet, and this poor monk can even perform a ritual for your salvation."

Emperor Daye's face darkened, "Master, that's going too far."

Xie Weilou clapped his hands together, and killing intent erupted from his body, "Don't worry, your seventh day hasn't passed yet! Who doesn't know that Xie Wushi and this poor monk are brothers?"

He stared disdainfully at Emperor Daye, "I said it on Mei Mountain: whoever dares to be an enemy of Xie Wushi is an enemy of this poor monk. Since Emperor Daye is so provocative, this poor monk will naturally deliver you to salvation."

"Presumptuous!"

A cold glint flashed in Emperor Daye's eyes, and he immediately conjured a long sword.

He said coldly, "Stinky monk, I am giving you face; do not be ungrateful."

"This poor monk will now deliver you to salvation."

Xie Weilou waved his sleeve, and a ninth-grade peak Ice Talisman flew towards Emperor Daye.

"Seeking death!"

Emperor Daye shouted coldly, striking out with a sword.

Buzz!

The moment the long sword collided with the Ice Talisman, the talisman exploded, and a freezing power, as if from the Nine Netherworlds, erupted, instantly freezing the surroundings.

Before Emperor Daye could react, he, along with his sword, was directly frozen, turning into a statue.

Xie Weilou took a step, suddenly appearing before Emperor Daye. He swung his fist, lightning covering it, and fiercely struck Emperor Daye's body.

Boom!

Emperor Daye's body instantly shattered, turning into pieces of debris, his soul annihilated, and he perished directly.

Mid-stage Guixu, dead!

Xie Weilou collected Emperor Daye's storage ring, put his palms together, and showed a compassionate expression, "amitābha, my Buddha is merciful."

"..."

The people around looked at Xie Weilou with pale faces.

This monk was indeed terrifying. With one move, he killed the mid-stage Guixu Emperor Daye. He was truly terrifying.

It was a good thing they hadn't acted rashly or mentioned Xie Wushi.

Xie Weilou glanced at these people and smiled gently, "Rest assured, benefactors, this poor monk is not a bad person. I do not lie, and I do not kill!"

"Please spread the word. If the Myriad Sword Holy Land wants to kill Xie Wushi, they must first step over this poor monk's corpse. Otherwise, one day this poor monk will kill his way to the Myriad Sword Holy Land and definitely abduct the Holy Maiden of Ten Thousand Swords to give to my Brother Xie as a concubine."

With that, he directly flew away.

"Demon Monk! He truly is a Demon Monk."

"He just killed Emperor Daye, and he actually said he doesn't kill? And 'my Buddha is merciful'?"

"This monk is standing up for Xie Wushi and even said he would abduct the Holy Maiden of Ten Thousand Swords to be Xie Wushi's concubine. It seems their relationship is indeed not simple."

The people around were filled with horror, stunned by the monk's ferocity.

After leaving the Imperial Palace.

Xie Weilou changed back to an ordinary-looking face. With his hands tucked into his sleeves, he walked forward with a lazy expression.

"Hmm?"

A moment later, Xie Weilou raised an eyebrow, feeling something was watching him. He immediately quickened his pace.

In Great Ye Imperial City, at the top of a tall building, four elders from the Myriad Sword Holy Land gathered, one of them holding a bronze mirror.

Buzz!

He injected a stream of power into the bronze mirror, and the mirror erupted with a mysterious golden light, directly enveloping Great Ye Imperial City.

The other three elders closed their eyes, fully releasing their divine senses, constantly probing the people in the City.

A few breaths later.

The three elders instantly opened their eyes. They exchanged glances, "Emperor Daye has been killed. There is an ordinary-looking young man in the City whose true nature is hard to discern!"

The elder holding the bronze mirror mused, "Coincidentally, the Heaven-Gazing Mirror also couldn't see through that person's true identity, and it's even harder to probe his cultivation. Something's not right. Let's follow him and see."

Emperor Daye wanted to kill Xie Wushi. At such a moment, who was most likely to kill him?

Xie Wushi was the most probable!

Hopefully, that person really is Xie Wushi, so they can report back to the Sword King.

"Go!"

The four figures moved, instantly disappearing from the spot...
