86: Reactions

Not only did other Netherworld Hells stir up a storm, but the Qian Domain was also abuzz with noise.

“Damn it, I knew the Chu Family had made such a big move all of a sudden; turns out they went to annihilate a Holy Land!”

“I really didn’t expect it! Not long after the Beast Taming Sect was annihilated, several more Holy Lands were destroyed. The Chu Family is too fierce!”

“It’s not that the Chu Family is too fierce, but that their Beast God is too fierce!”

“Otherwise, the Chu Family alone wouldn’t have the foundation to annihilate any Holy Land!”

This was a fact acknowledged by everyone.

Holy Lands were too strong.

They dominated a region and had stood for hundreds of thousands of years.

Their foundations were so deep that even another Holy Land might not be able to destroy them.

Besides Emperor-Grade powerhouses, who else could achieve such a feat?

Therefore, it must have been the Beast God of the Chu Family who took action.

“Does the Chu Family really want to subvert the Supreme status that Hell Gate has held for countless years?”

“Also, what exactly is Hell Gate doing? Why did they still not take action even though a Martial Emperor had fallen? Instead, they allowed the Beast God of the Chu Family to exist?”

In Yan Yang City, Ge Tianli, the President of the Myriad Realms Business Association, was pacing back and forth in his room.

All of this was too abnormal!

Could something have happened to Hell Gate?

The news of the Martial Emperor’s fall here had already been sent back to his headquarters.

But the reply from the headquarters was to keep a distance from the Chu Family, lest the flames of war spread to the Myriad Realms Business Association.

The conflict between Emperor-Grade powerhouses was not something they could participate in.

A slight misstep would lead to utter destruction.

Moreover, in the eyes of the headquarters, the demise of the Chu Family was only a matter of time!

...

This incident had a huge impact.

Not only did the Qian Domain and surrounding Netherworld Hells know about it, but the news even began to spread to other parts of the Human Realm.

For a time, the entire Human Realm seemed to be in turmoil.

This was an unprecedented event.

In the past, if anyone broke through to the Emperor-Grade without Hell Gate’s approval, they would be suppressed with lightning speed.

But this time, Hell Gate not only failed to suppress them but also lost a Martial Emperor and five affiliated Holy Lands.

What was this?

Was this a naked declaration of war against Hell Gate?

Instantly, almost all forces were closely watching the Qian Domain, wanting to see what would happen there next.

In the Yan Domain, Chu Yan, who had just escaped his enemies’ pursuit, also learned of this news.

He was so shocked that he couldn’t recover for a long time.

“In just over a year, something like that actually happened?”

Slaying a Martial Emperor?

Annihilating a Holy Land?

Was this something their small Chu Family could do?

“This can’t be fake, can it!”

Chu Yan came to the Tianji Pavilion to inquire about the news.

The Tianji Pavilion was the largest intelligence agency in the Human Realm, claiming that there was only a price you couldn't afford, but no intelligence they couldn't uncover.

But the final result showed that everything that happened in the Qian Domain was true.

“Beast God, so it was with the participation of a Beast God!”

Chu Yan suddenly realized.

The Beast God was very mysterious.

Elder Yao had told him before that the Beast God might be a Demon Emperor.

Now it seemed that it definitely was!

He took out a Jade Slip from his spatial ring.

This was something the Beast God had given him back then, saying that as long as he crushed this Jade Slip, he would appear by his side.

“Should I crush this Jade Slip and ask the Beast God to act?”

Chu Yan was conflicted.

He had now found out his mother’s whereabouts, but she had entered the Forbidden Ground of “Void Tempering,” which was a place of certain death.

And Elder Yao, to save him, had also been captured by Hell Gate powerhouses.

The situation he faced was worse than any before.

Perhaps the Beast God could easily help him solve everything!

“No, I haven’t reached my limit yet. As long as I can refine the first and second ranked Heavenly Fires on the Heavenly Fire List, I might not be without a chance to turn the tables!”

Chu Yan took a deep breath.

He knew that calling the Beast God might be the fastest solution, but the current situation faced by the Chu Family could not be ignored either.

Having been out for so long, he naturally knew how vast an organization Hell Gate was.

It was the true overlord of the Human Realm!

Once the Beast God left the Chu Family, wouldn’t the Family be left unguarded?

What would be the fate of the Family if Hell Gate came knocking then?

So, after much deliberation, Chu Yan decided to rely on himself.

“Not only do I have to rescue Elder Yao and the others, but I also have to Breakthrough to Martial Emperor as soon as possible and return to the Family to contribute my strength!”

Hell Gate’s power was too great.

He worried that relying on the Beast God alone might not be enough to sustain them.

After a plan, he infiltrated Hell Gate’s branch in the Yan Domain.

...

“What? You’re saying that the Chu Family, which caused such a huge stir in the Human Realm, was once a branch of our Chu Family?”

In a secret chamber of the Saint-Grade Family Chu Family in the Cang Region, Chu Dingtian, the Clan Chief of the Chu Family, widened his eyes, looking at the old man in front of him with disbelief.

“Old Ancestor, are you sure you didn’t make a mistake?”

“No mistake, Clan Chief. I’ve checked the Family tree. The Chu Family there was indeed a branch of our Azure Domain Chu Family that split off tens of thousands of years ago!”

“Clan Chief should remember that back then, someone in our Chu Family Broke Through to Martial Emperor without Hell Gate’s permission. To appease Hell Gate’s wrath, we used means to hand that Martial Emperor over to Hell Gate!”

“But before he fell, he sent his lineage of clansmen away from the Cang Region!”

The old man said in a deep voice.

“Old Ancestor, do you mean that the current Chu Family in the Qian Domain is the descendant of that Martial Emperor’s lineage?”

Chu Dingtian murmured.

“Exactly!”

“This…”

Bang!

Chu Dingtian smashed the table and chairs in front of him with a slap, and said angrily, “It’s this lineage again?!”

“Why can’t they just be a little more peaceful?”

“They almost put our Chu Family in a deadly situation back then, and now they want to harm our Chu Family again?”

This matter was much more serious than the last time, because a Martial Emperor of Hell Gate had already fallen.

Hell Gate would definitely not let it go.

What if they found out that those people were related to their Chu Family then?

“Old Ancestor, what should we do now?”

Chu Dingtian asked tremblingly.

“Just act as if nothing happened and wait and see!”

“After all, that was tens of thousands of years ago. Besides our records here, others probably can’t investigate it easily!”

“Moreover, we’ve had no contact for all these years. Even if they find some clues, what does it have to do with our Chu Family? We’ve been very well-behaved these years, relying on Hell Gate!”

“Sigh, I just hope this matter calms down quickly!”

...

Rumble!!!

A terrifying aura permeated, filled with endless killing intent.

“Demon Emperor of the Chu Family!”

“I didn’t expect that even with so many methods we bestowed, we couldn’t kill him, and he even annihilated several major Holy Lands. Our Hell Gate has truly lost a lot of face this time!”

In the Central Heaven Domain of the Human Realm, at Hell Gate’s headquarters, terrifying auras erupted from Hell Gate, sweeping across the heavens and earth like a volcano.

The entire Heaven Domain was silent, as if everything had completely died.

“No, we must send out Emperor-Grade powerhouses to completely kill him. We cannot let him act so recklessly anymore!”

“If this continues for too long, I’m afraid the entire Human Realm will fall into complete turmoil! Where will our Hell Gate’s face be then?”

Beast Martial Emperor said in a deep voice.
