Chapter 232 232: Prophecy

There were hundreds of bodies littered around, but none of them were that of an assassin. Instead, they looked more like the people of Prophecy Tower.

"So that's what she was after..." Xu Shan couldn't help but shake his head, but also found her methods quite fascinating.

"Why is she here? Shouldn't she be attacking Shadow Hall if she was so angry?" Xin asked Xu Shan, confused about the woman's actions.

"That's the thing. She can't attack the Shadow Hall because she doesn't know where they're located. But she does know the location of the Prophecy Tower. So she's just using her knowledge to her advantage," Xu Shan explained.

"How?"

"She is probably trying to force the prophecy tower to Divine the location of the Shadow Hall. Quite Interesting..."

Xu Shan landed at the entrance of the Prophecy Tower.

Not long ago, there was a prophecy by the same tower about a certain disaster that was going to spread across the entire Divine Realm. And today, this same tower was facing a disaster.

"The people who predict the fate of others, couldn't predict their own fate. How ironic.'

His hands behind his back, Xu Shan walked inside the Prophecy Tower.

With every foot he took inside the tower, the floor beneath him kept getting darker like reacting to his nature.

Undeterred by the ominous atmosphere, Xu Shan continued his journey up the tower. Before long, he was standing on the highest floor.

Along the way, he had come across many lifeless bodies. It was clear how angry the Divine Queen was. She didn't even bother talking to them.

What made her even more furious was that the Prophecy Tower hadn't informed her of her fate related to Xu Shan. If she had known better, she wouldn't have ended up like this.

Previously, she let the Divine Tower be, because she was focused on the formation. But now, her anger came out at once v

The Woman sighed in relief, watching Xu Shan move back.

"Now that I'm here, you can return to the Palace and focus on the formation. I'll handle the matter of Shadow Hall," Xu Shan said.

"But..." the Empress was surprised. After coming this far, she was being told to go back without letting her kill the people she hated?

"Do you have a problem with my decision?" Xu Shan asked, without even looking back at the Divine Empress.

The Divine Emperor froze. "No problems. I'll return."

Clenching her fists, she turned around and left the bloody corridors of the Divination Tower, leaving Xu Shan behind.

Although it was her revenge, it was taken over by Xu Shan. However, she knew that the formation was truly more important. She couldn't leave it for too long.

She returned to the Capital of the Dynasty, quite curious why Xu Shan was so interested in the shadow hall. Was it simply because he felt angry at the assassination attempt? Or was there something more?

Unfortunately, no matter how much she wanted, only one person knew the answer. And it was Xu Shan himself.

Xu Shan waited for the High Priest to finish his Divination, patiently.

Fortunately, half an hour later, the High Priest finally opened his eyes.

"Old man, looks like you didn't fail." As the High Priest stood up, he heard a man's voice behind him.

Turning around, he was surprised to find the Empress' absence. Instead, an unfamiliar man was there.

Despite not seeing the man before, he felt as if the man was more frightening than the Woman. He couldn't even see through the man. All he saw was an endless darkness and the threats of heavenly punishment circling his fate like a poisonous snake.

It would've been impossible for a person to survive with this kind of heavenly curse on their fate. But the man looked completely unaffected.
