134: Sword Slashes Yi Yue

Huang Yi's body trembled violently. The moment his shaking hand gripped the sword hilt—

“Boom!!”

Overwhelming Killing Intent swept through the entire Imperial Palace like a bloody tide, roof tiles cracked and shattered, and even the bluestones on the ground were shaken and split.

Everyone present felt as if they had fallen into an ice cave, their breathing frozen. Those with weaker cultivation had their knees turn soft, falling to the ground and trembling.

The young emperor's forehead was covered in cold sweat, his eyes flickering as he quickly pondered countermeasures.

After all, as the emperor, he knew many secrets. He quickly waved his hand and said, “Huang Yi, I will immediately summon Yiyue to apologize to you.”

Upon hearing this, Huang Yi slowly lowered the long sword he had raised.

Not long after, Princess Yiyue rushed to the scene, followed by Eunuch Xiang, who had a serious expression.

Eunuch Xiang already knew everything that had happened here and understood that the immortal slaying sword was an extremely rare Magic Treasure.

Not only that, Eunuch Xiang also sensed that you were in the crowd. The immortal slaying sword carried your aura, so Eunuch Xiang knew that you were helping out.

He transmitted his voice to you, asking, “Fellow Daoist Qin, why are you helping such an ant?”

You calmly replied with a voice transmission, “Fellow Daoist Xiang, don't blame me. This kid just happens to be my newly recruited subordinate. Besides, isn't that Princess Yiyue also an ant? Is it forbidden to kill her?”

Eunuch Xiang transmitted his voice with a cold Face, “You and I both work for the master. Isn't what you're doing giving me too little Face? Aren't you afraid I'll report you to the master?”

You smiled faintly and replied via voice transmission, “Go ahead, I'm also very curious to know who the master would choose if he had to pick between the two of us.”

Eunuch Xiang was rendered speechless by your words, and his Face immediately flushed with anger—he naturally understood that his usefulness and strength were inferior to yours.

And the moment Huang Yi saw Princess Yiyue appear, his eyes blazed with fire, and his body trembled with rage.

He pointed his sword at Princess Yiyue and roared, “Yiyue, you traitor, come and die!”

Although Princess Yiyue had already known what happened when she arrived, she showed no fear. Instead, she smiled at Huang Yi and said indifferently, “You rebel, do you think you're amazing just because you have a treasured sword?”

After speaking, she turned to Eunuch Xiang behind her, “Eunuch… Eunuch Xiang, don't hide your strength anymore, quickly help me kill him.”

Princess Yiyue did not know that Eunuch Xiang was a Foundation Establishment Cultivator; she only thought his strength was comparable to a Great Grandmaster. In her heart, Eunuch Xiang was her strongest reliance.

But when Eunuch Xiang heard this, he immediately looked troubled and frowned, “Princess, this matter isn't that simple. Why don't you offer him some compensation instead?”

Princess Yiyue was startled at first, then pouted unhappily, “Huang Yi, this princess will reward you with ten thousand taels of silver, a mansion, and grant you an official position. Let this matter end here…”

“Shut up!” Huang Yi's eyes were bloodshot. “I only want your life!”

Before his words finished, he leaped up, and the immortal slaying sword actually condensed a hundred-zhang sword shadow, which crashed down—

Princess Yiyue's pupils constricted, and in her panic, she even stepped on and tore her skirt with her embroidered shoes.

She stared at the sword shadow that tore through the sky, unable to believe it was real—

How could anyone in this world dare to kill me?

Her younger brother was the current Son of Heaven, her great-grandfather was the pillar of the Imperial Family, and her own man was the top master of the Imperial Palace...

From childhood, she had been showered with endless love and always acted without any scruples.

Countless thoughts flashed through her mind, and a broken wail escaped her throat, “Eunuch Xiang, save me! Great-grandfather—”

However, Eunuch Xiang, who had been by her side, had already moved, swiftly dodging far away—if he were caught in the aftermath of this massive sword, he would be severely injured even if he didn't die.

Under everyone's tense gazes, the massive sword phantom hummed and directly engulfed Princess Yiyue's body.

Her eyes still held endless terror as her entire being was swallowed by the surging energy, shattering inch by inch, ultimately transforming into a pool of blood mist.

Eunuch Xiang's Face darkened when he saw Princess Yiyue's Divine Soul obliterated and her body utterly destroyed, a hint of ruthlessness flashing in his eyes.

You merely smiled faintly at this, because in your eyes, Eunuch Xiang wouldn't live for many more days either.

But you couldn't kill him yet, otherwise it would arouse Liu Ruyan's suspicion, causing all your efforts to go to waste.

You secretly calculated in your heart—just let him live a few more days.

The scene of Princess Yiyue turning to dust finally brought everyone back to their senses.

Such Heaven-Defying methods could probably only be achieved by someone in the legendary Heavenly Human Realm, right?

At least, that's what they all thought.

The young emperor also broke out in a cold sweat on his forehead. He knew very well that his great-grandfather not showing up already explained everything.

Just then, your gaze swept towards a certain spot outside the Imperial Palace—

You keenly noticed that a Great Grandmaster had originally intended to act, but after seeing the power of the immortal slaying sword, he immediately activated his movement technique and fled in a panic.

You understood in your heart, guessing that this person must be Xiao Tianci.

The surrounding crowd also reacted, and the scene instantly became lively—

“I didn't expect this kid to possess such a treasure; no wonder he dared to break into the palace alone to seek revenge.”

“This treasured sword is quite similar to the legendary immortal Magic Treasure. This child's luck is truly extraordinary.”

“It seems the landscape of the Great Yan Dynasty is about to change. We must quickly befriend him; perhaps our Family can rise to a first-rate aristocratic Family in the future.”

While everyone was discussing, the immortal slaying sword suddenly transformed into a stream of light and flew away, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

And you had already quietly left the crowd, lightly flicking your robes, and smiling indifferently.

This immortal slaying sword was your Lifebound Treasure, and only you could wield it freely.

Acting through Huang Yi was merely to cover your tracks.

Experiencing the power of the immortal slaying sword for the first time, you felt quite excited—this sword could actually easily draw upon the power of heaven and earth, it truly lived up to its reputation!

However, you were well aware that the power you could exert at present was less than one ten-thousandth of its true strength.

This was all limited by your current Realm and Divine Ability, making it difficult to fully unleash the immortal slaying sword's complete power.

If you could even slightly unleash its potential, a casual sword strike from you would be enough to flatten the entire Imperial Palace, or even reduce the Imperial Capital to a wasteland.

You even vaguely felt that if you could master the ten Divine Abilities in the Immortal Slaying Sword Art, its power would surely reach an unimaginable Realm—

As for how astonishing it would be, you dared not think too deeply about it for a moment.

Although you had left, your Divine Sense constantly monitored Huang Yi's movements—he was being escorted out of the Imperial Palace by a large crowd.

You also didn't forget the main task and continued searching for Fang Chen's whereabouts.

Soon, you found traces of Fang Chen in the Martial Arts Academy.

You did not act immediately, but quietly waited for the right moment.

However, Fang Chen did not leave the Martial Arts Academy the entire day.

On the third day,

You found Steward Jia and retrieved the mining rights document—

Although you already had a copy, you were worried that Steward Jia would ostentatiously search for you everywhere with the document, acting too conspicuously.
