278: Kingdom of God

In less than five days, the news of Qin Wushang slaughtering Holy Ape City spread throughout the entire Great Wilderness World.

"Damned heavens! These outsiders plundering the Opportunities of our Great Wilderness World is one thing, but to actually commit a massacre of a city!"

"Cursed beasts! They even dared to massacre a city! If we denizens of the Great Desolate show no response, won't we become a laughingstock for those outsiders?"

In the Desolate Realm, at the capital of the Divine Kingdom, several Saint Realm experts gathered together, righteous and indignant.

They looked towards the Lord of the Divine Kingdom, seeking her guidance.

"Lord! You are the bellwether of our Great Desolate. Speak, how should we respond to this?"

The Lord of the Divine Kingdom was a woman. She sat upright on the main throne in the hall, her graceful figure wrapped in dark golden beast hide. Raven-black hair was tied up with a beast bone hairpin, with a few stray strands falling by her cheeks.

Her eyes were sharp as a hawk's, her red lips as if tempered with strong liquor. Even without smiling, she exuded an imposing pressure. The lines of her bare forearms were sleek, and beast-tooth bracelets at her wrists chimed softly with her movements.

Her fingertips toyed with a bronze token. Her golden pupils swept over the people in the hall. The Lord of the Divine Kingdom's formidable aura pressed down, silencing the entire hall. The beast hide rustled, appearing even more luxurious than brocade.

"Supreme Double Pupils... Qin Wushang! What a Supreme Double Pupils!"

"The Holy Ape's strength ranked among the top three in this Eastern Barren! Yet he's dead! Even Holy Ape City was slaughtered!"

"This Supreme Double Pupils possesses terrifyingly extreme power!"

"You all clamor to hunt him down and demand justice. Now, who dares to make a move?"

As the Lord of the Divine Kingdom's calm voice fell, all the experts in the hall lowered their heads.

The Holy Ape's might was known to everyone present.

Even those stronger than him would find it difficult as ascending to heaven to kill him, let alone slaughter a city and exterminate a clan!

"Lord! With your cultivation, plus the might of the Divine Kingdom, can we still not deal with him?"

One person spoke up, questioning loudly.

The Lord of the Divine Kingdom shook her head, her tone helpless: "Although he is only at the God King Realm, he wields an Emperor's Weapon. That is not something we can contend against."

"Furthermore, there are rumors that this foreign Prodigy holds an Immortal's Weapon! It is extremely terrifying!"

"Lord! My Barren Wolf Tribe is willing to invoke our Ancestral Artifact! To behead that Qin Wushang and establish our Great Desolate's prestige!"

A furious roar exploded. The speaker was a Saint Realm expert from the Swiftwind Barren Wolf tribe, his fangs grinding audibly, filled with indignation.

Hearing such news, he was truly enraged.

One must know, the top-tier experts of the Great Desolate were few in number, and the one he was closest to... was undoubtedly the Holy Ape of Holy Ape City!

Now, his friend was dead, and Holy Ape City had been slaughtered!

"There is still no guarantee."

"Even if we invoke our Divine Kingdom's Guardian Divine Artifact and mobilize the entire national fortune, success is not certain."

The Lord of the Divine Kingdom shook her head again, appearing quite troubled.

These fellows superficially addressed her as Lord, but that was only when they needed her to exert strength.

At ordinary times, when she issued a summons, each one would make excuses and refuse.

She had no reason to jeopardize the Divine Kingdom's future for a dead, stinking monkey.

"Lord! This matter is of great importance now! The outsiders are plundering many resources, growing increasingly arrogant. We should also act, to let them know the methods of the Great Desolate's denizens!"

"Correct! Lord! Now is not the time to be timid and overcautious, nor the time for internal strife! We must unite!"

"Yes! We must unite! Summon more experts to surround and kill him together!"

"Indeed! Lord, it is rumored that fellow might also have obtained immortal medicine and an Immortal's Legacy!"

Numerous experts spoke up one after another, attempting a moral coercion.

The other experts of the Divine Kingdom also looked towards the Lord of the Divine Kingdom, awaiting her decision.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a powerful aura surged, followed by a terrifying Sword Intent enveloping the area.

In an instant, several figures appeared outside the great hall. The guards outside immediately sprang into action.

"The Imperial Son of the Great Scarlet Heaven's Ye Family requests an audience with the Lord of the Divine Kingdom!"

A voice came from outside, shocking the many experts within the hall.

The Imperial Son of the Great Scarlet Heaven's Ye Family!

An outsider actually dared to come to the Divine Kingdom while they were all gathered here!

Was he not afraid they would detain him?

"Enter!"

The Lord of the Divine Kingdom tapped the bronze token in her hand. Her words were soft, yet clearly transmitted outside the hall.

The Ye Family Imperial Son, Ye Yunfei, strode in, his expression haughty.

Behind him followed several Ye Family Disciples, also exceptionally powerful Prodigies. They too looked down on everyone, not deigning to regard the Saint Realm beings present.

"You are the Lord of the Divine Kingdom?"

Ye Yunfei locked his gaze on the woman on the main throne and spoke.

"How dare you!"

"You do not perform the kneeling obeisance upon seeing our Lord of the Divine Kingdom? Do you wish to remain here forever?"

The Saint Realm expert of the Swiftwind Barren Wolf tribe roared angrily, his tone filled with displeasure.

"Perform the kneeling obeisance? Are you worthy?"

A youth beside Ye Yunfei said.

"Boom!"

As these words were spoken, waves of incredibly terrifying Saint Realm auras erupted, followed by Saint Realm pressure.

"Hum!"

The bronze token in the Lord of the Divine Kingdom's hand shimmered with light, immediately dissipating the pressure from the many experts.

The Lord of the Divine Kingdom spoke: "This seat understands everyone's feelings, but visitors are all guests."

"If we all act like this, wouldn't it make outsiders laugh at us for having no decorum?"

Once these words were spoken, the experts who were about to speak swallowed the words that had reached their throats.

They all looked at Ye Yunfei, but Ye Yunfei simply ignored them.

"Cooperation."

Ye Yunfei uttered two words to the Lord of the Divine Kingdom.

"To kill Qin Wushang?"

The Lord of the Divine Kingdom asked in return, not surprised.

Outsider Prodigies, for the sake of Opportunities, could even stab fellow Disciples in the back.

The other party seeking her out to jointly deal with the Prodigy Qin Wushang was nothing unusual.

"Correct! He must be killed!"

"Moreover, after killing him, I want his eyes and the immortal medicine. The Emperor's Weapon will be yours!"

Ye Yunfei said nonchalantly.

"On what grounds should this seat trust you?"

The Lord of the Divine Kingdom retorted, showing no sign of agreement.

"There's nothing about trust or not!"

"I only want the woman by his side and his eyes. You want to kill him to proclaim the Great Desolate's might. This is called mutual interest."

Ye Yunfei said.

He already knew that Ye Hongfu, who had injured him, was following Qin Wushang. He needed allies.

"Heh!"

"What a 'mutual interest'!"

"But even so... how can you claim to kill him? You should know, you are merely a God King yourself!"

The Lord of the Divine Kingdom sneered.

Recently, there had been many news about Qin Wushang in the Great Desolate, each one extremely sensational.

He was a bona fide Prodigy, absolutely possessing the strength to fight across Realms!

She would not provoke him lightly.

"I have an Emperor's Weapon that can contend against his. Moreover, I have captured one of his women and have information about another one of his women!"

"This is enough to make him wary!"

Ye Yunfei said, revealing his bargaining chips.

"Pleasant cooperation!"

The Lord of the Divine Kingdom smiled!

The other experts in the great hall, hearing her words, also smiled!
