74: He's coming

After the Imperial Family agreed to marry Seventh Princess to Shi Youse, the Shi Family naturally proposed that the Imperial Family should support the Shi Family in eliminating The Long family. For this, the Shi Family was willing to offer ten billion Low-Grade Spirit Stones as compensation.

In response, the God Protector of the Nation of the Imperial Family, named Ye Wen, actually agreed. How could Long Aotian not be furious at this?

With the Imperial Family's involvement, was The Long family far from its demise?

The Long family had no grievances with the Imperial Family, yet the Imperial Family wanted to kill The Long family?

This could not be tolerated!

No matter what interests were tied together, The Long family did not stir up trouble, but they were not afraid of it either!

At this moment, Long Aotian was truly angered by these high and mighty Old Ancestors, whose casual decision concerned the very survival of The Long family.

“Is this Emperor Ye’s attitude?

Very well!

I hope you can remain calm while sitting on the Dragon Throne!”

His Divine Sense frantically etched a Level 6 Void Maelstrom Array, one li in circumference, in the Void Realm. Nowadays, Long Aotian could complete the etching of such an array in just one breath, or three to five seconds.

The five Mahayana Realm Old Ancestors were chatting happily in the Shi Family's main conference room, with laughter occasionally drifting out. But their laughter, to Long Aotian's ears, was as grating as could be.

Three minutes passed, and Long Aotian, using his Divine Sense, frantically etched thirty-six Level 6 Void Maelstrom Arrays!

Those Old Ancestors still showed no intention of leaving.

Very well!

Another two minutes passed, and Long Aotian increased the stacked number of Void Annihilation Arrays to sixty.

At this point, a remark made by Wan Chuan, the Grand Elder of the Fire Cloud Sect, almost made Long Aotian unable to resist killing the Old Ancestor.

“Brother Rufeng, isn't it simple for you to destroy The Long family? Just imprison the entire Hua Family. For every day the Long Family Clan Leader doesn't bring The Long family out to surrender, kill one person from the Hua Family. I don't believe The Long family would just watch the Hua Family be annihilated!”

“Haha, Brother Wan, we also want to do that, but without Emperor Ye's nod, we wouldn't dare to touch the Hua Family.”

“Oh? Brother Ye, what exactly is Emperor Ye's attitude on this? Does Emperor Ye want to continue making the Eternal Leaf Dynasty a mess? A small Cultivator Family like The Long family, which doesn't know its place, would just make things quieter if it were destroyed, wouldn't it?”

Clearly, Wan Chuan was speaking up for the Shi Family.

The Imperial Family had agreed to help the Shi Family deal with The Long family, but the Hua Family was also a potential threat. Since Wan Chuan had agreed to marry his granddaughter into the Shi Family, he naturally did not want the Shi Family to keep the Hua Family as a potential threat.

Ye Wen said indifferently, “Our Emperor Ye doesn't seem to have forbidden it!”

After agreeing to marry Seventh Princess to Shi Youse, the Imperial Family and the Shi Family formed a deep-seated bond of interests. For the Shi Family to eliminate the Hua Family, a potential threat, was naturally not out of the question.

“Emperor Ye is wise!”

“Hmph!”

However, just as the Shi Family members were shouting praises of Emperor Ye's wisdom, Long Aotian, enraged, decided not to continue stacking Level 6 Void Maelstrom Arrays. Sixty Level 6 Void Maelstrom Arrays were activated simultaneously in a single thought.

A terrifying crisis instantly enveloped everyone in the conference room.

“Who is it?!”

“Not good!”

“Damn it!!!”

Long Aotian’s cold snort was deafening to them; it was a Divine Sense pressure from Long Aotian mobilizing all his Divine Sense, directly exploding into their Sea of Consciousness.

This Divine Sense pressure reached the Divine Sense strength of a Mahayana Realm Fifth or Sixth Revolution Stage expert.

Just a feigned attack was enough to make their faces change drastically!

There was another Mahayana Realm expert eavesdropping on their conversation, and they hadn't even noticed?

To be fair, they were overconfident. They held a discussion without setting up a Divine Sense isolation Formation.

Were they overconfident?

Apparently not!

During the discussion, they had all released their Divine Sense. The Divine Sense pressure of five Mahayana Realm experts enveloped the area. Anyone daring to use Divine Sense recklessly would be courting death, let alone prying into their conversation. This was even safer and more secure than setting up any Divine Sense isolation Formation.

Yet, they hadn't expected that a Mahayana Realm expert would dare to target them simultaneously without their knowledge, and the Divine Sense pressure was just a feint. What truly made their scalps tingle was the stacked attack of sixty Void Annihilation Arrays.

Shi Tianjing, who had experienced the destruction of the Second Ancestor's lair, and Shi Gandang, who had fled in disarray from Immortal Severing Mountain, both changed greatly in expression, crying out, “Not good.”

The three Clan Gods of the Shi Family cursed, “Damn it!”

The opponent had actually come to their doorstep to kill them!

Destroying their six Divided Soul Realm Family Old Ancestors, ninety-eight Soul Emergence Realm Family Guardians, and thirty Nascent Soul Realm Family Elders was not enough; they even dared to come to the Imperial City to kill.

They hadn't even settled scores with this person, yet this person was so arrogant, so dismissive of their Shi Family, to come killing to their doorstep!

At this moment, the three Clan Gods of the Shi Family were all furious, fully unleashing their attacks on the pouring Divine Sense Void Annihilation Wind Blades.

“...”

Wan Chuan, the Grand Elder of the Fire Cloud Sect, and Ye Wen, the God Protector of the Nation of the Eternal Leaf Dynasty, also changed greatly in expression. Without time to think, they fully attacked the terrifying Divine Sense Void Annihilation Wind Blades pouring down.

“Bang bang bang—”

Explosive sounds rang out within the killing array.

The full attacks of the five Mahayana Realm experts were extremely terrifying, especially Ye Wen's full attack, which was comparable to the full attack of a Tribulation Transcendence Realm First Revolution Stage expert.

After the attack of the five Mahayana Realm experts, the Divine Sense Void Annihilation Wind Blades of the sixty Void Annihilation Arrays were shattered by the violent force, and even the last Level 6 Void Maelstrom Array was broken.

However, the impact caused in this flash of lightning was immense.

First, Shi Tianjing, in order to protect his son Shi Youse, was severely injured again. Having already lost one arm, he lost his other arm, becoming an armless hero.

Although the terrifying Divine Sense Void Annihilation Wind Blades did not take his life due to the obstruction of the five Mahayana Realm experts, his severed arms were instantly cut into pieces, making it impossible to retrieve and reattach them.

Under Shi Tianjing's protection, Shi Youse only suffered minor injuries.

Shi Gandang, however, was miserable!

He took a cut to the face from a Divine Sense Void Annihilation Wind Blade, directly injuring one of his eyes, and screamed in heart-wrenching agony. Although he didn't lose any limbs, after the instant baptism of the Divine Sense Void Annihilation Wind Blades, he was covered in blood, having become a bloody mess.

“Damn it!”

“Who exactly is it?!”

“What kind of scoundrel dares to ambush this Old Ancestor?!”

“Shi Rufeng, Shi Rulin, Shi Ruhuo, this Old Ancestor needs an explanation!”

After the Annihilation Array was shattered, Long Aotian did not make another move.

At this time, the five Mahayana Realm experts were already in a state of high alert, especially the Mahayana Realm Ninth Revolution Peak of the Imperial Family's God Protector of the Nation, whose strength was terrifying. Long Aotian was not hiding in the Treasure Pagoda now but was performing the deed from three million li away.

For safety's sake, this was merely his warning!

At the same time, he was telling the Shi Family that their nightmare had arrived!

The three Mahayana Realm Clan Gods of the Shi Family released their Divine Sense to frantically search for the enemy, but found absolutely nothing.

As for Long Aotian?

He had already changed his appearance, body shape, and demeanor, and even his cultivation had been altered to the Foundation Establishment Realm Fifth Revolution Stage. He was just a very ordinary, inconspicuous little Cultivator. Their Divine Sense merely swept past Long Aotian without lingering.

Wan Chuan was somewhat shocked and angry. The opponent actually dared to attack him, which was too bold and too presumptuous. He was the Grand Elder of the Fire Cloud Sect; the opponent was clearly not putting their Fire Cloud Sect in his eyes.

Who exactly gave the opponent such courage?

However, Ye Wen, the God Protector of the Nation of the Imperial Family, immediately realized something through this incident.

Their Imperial Family Ye Family seemed to have been manipulated by the Shi Family!

The Shi Family's purpose in seeking to marry their Imperial Family princess, as expected, was likely because they had provoked a mysterious powerful expert!

Dragging their Imperial Family Ye Family in to act as a shield, to be used as a tool?

At this moment, Ye Wen was truly enraged!

Compared to being attacked by Long Aotian, he was more furious about being manipulated by the Shi Family...
