Chapter 78 78: Fishing In Chaos

"My son made a mistake. Release him. I will investigate my daughter's disappearance properly without any bias!" The Palace Master told Xu Shan who still had his dagger perfectly aligned.

Xu Shan didn't show much reaction. However, on the inside, he was happy. Everything was in place, and now only the last part of the play was left to execute... Achieving the goals without getting his own hands dirty.

"Since you're talking in a nicer tone, I'll listen to this once. However, if you act as if I'm a prisoner once again, then there won't be a reason for the Celestial Palace to exist anymore. In any case, my father should be here soon."

Xu Shan took off his dagger, as he appeared as if he was about to free Yu Ming.

However, right at that time, a couple of outer Elders brushed out, suddenly pulling their swords. One of the elders targeted Xu Shan.

Xu Shan looked taken aback, as he dodged right away. However, even as he dodged to the best of his abilities, the Sword left a deep wound on his right arm. Fortunately, the wound wasn't deep enough to reach his bones.

At the same time, many Disciples also rushed to the field mindlessly.

The Palace Master was taken aback by the sudden change. Just as everything was over, his side attacked Xu Shan? He didn't understand why it was happening. However, he couldn't let Xu Shan die in this place or the Eternal Emperor was going to blame him!

The Palace Master swiftly reacted, casting a barrier around Xu Shan, who had fallen to the ground. The barrier appeared just at the right time, as it appeared as if Xu Shan would've been stabbed if the Palace Master was just a second late!

However, just as the Palace Master was to stop everyone else, his eyes widened.

His son... His son was lying on the ground, and multiple wounds were stabbed in his body, one piercing right through his chest. Multiple Elders were standing around him. However, they were all outer elders who had weak Celestial Spirits.

While he was distracted in saving Xu Shan, these people had killed his son?! He couldn't believe his eyes.

Initially, he thought that the Palace Members attacked Xu Shan because they hated him for being an outsider and threatening them. However, they targeted his son as well?

The Palace Master roared in rage as a terrifying pressure descended over everyone, forcing everyone to kneel on the ground.

Blood could also be seen coming out of the eyes and noses of the weaker members, as they were met with the terrifying pressure.

Fortunately since Xu Shan was under the barrier of the Celestial Palace Master, he wasn't affected by the barrier.

He just sat on the ground, seemingly confused about this entire situation. However, deep within, he was quite pleased with the outcome.

Now he had done everything he could. All he had to do was wait... Wait for the Celestial Palace Master to come to a conclusion.

Someone had attempted to kill him, and the Palace Master's son. That meant the people didn't work for the Eternal Dynasty. Nor did they work for the Celestial Palace.

If one was to think carefully, the answer was quite obvious, especially when the Celestial Palace Master was going to find the treasure of the Qin Dynasty, the three Evil Flags spread around the island.

Even though he felt bad that he had to abandon such a nice treasure, for the time being, it was the necessary sacrifice.

With that, Xu Shan placed two safety mechanisms for himself. First, everyone knew who the three flags belonged to. So the evidence was there.

Secondly, everyone knew that the flags needed three people to work. On the other hand, Xu Shan only came here with one more person, so he couldn't do anything with it.

And lastly, amongst the two people, one had already left long ago. He had created a foolproof web this time.

The only problem was that he didn't find the book in Yu Ming's ring. However, he didn't take any risks by leaving him alive. Now this enmity between the Celestial Palace and the Qin Dynasty had reached the next level.

This way, he had made it so that the Celestial Palace was going to attack the Qin Dynasty right away. However, he needed one more push...

A turtle which resided in its shell was going to hesitate. However, if he took away their shall, then instead of being a sitting duck for the taking, the Celestial Palace had no choice but to be more actively take out their enemies.

'The last blow...' Xu Shan kept his eyes on the Place Master who landed on the ground next to his son. He tried his best to heal his son. Unfortunately, he couldn't do anything. It was too late! His son's heartbeat had stopped.

As soon as the Celestial Palace Master realized it, he couldn't help but roar in rage.

However, as he was roaring in anger, things became even worse.

Three entire Celestial Island started trembling, as an explosive voice was heart. The mist around the Celestial Island started dispersing for the first time in history.

The Palace Master froze in place, looking in the direction of the Sacred Hall. "Don't tell me..."

Even though he was still in pain about his son, things had become even worse. He flew high in the sky, shooting straight toward the Sacred Hall.

Unfortunately, as soon as he reached there, he only saw dead disciples. The Elders were still present there, who were supposed to protect the sacred hall. However, even they looked confused.

While they were dealing with the intruders, they heard an explosion. They felt as if their souls had left their bodies, since they realized what this implied.

Unfortunately for them, Ye Han had already used a thousand mile talisman, actually leaving the Celestial Palace this time, to bring the Eternal Emperor. It was told to make the chaos even more chaotic.
