Chapter 599: A Fierce Momentum
It is well known that the Asura clan, despite their amazing fighting prowess, hold their agreements in the highest regard. They have their own sense of honour.
If Lord Deng didn’t die, but the Asura Clan took the initiative to break the agreement, it would certainly be against their clan’s principles, and the initiative would be in the hands of the Human Clan.
With this opportunity, the Human Clan might be able to make a new agreement with the Asura Clan and find a permanent solution!
Once again, everyone looked at the figure with the white clothes and white hair, and couldn’t help but think, could this all be part of the Heavenly Tower National Teacher’s calculations?
Enemies, allies, all are pawns in the hands of the National Teacher, truly cunning...
The Heavenly Tower National Teacher glanced over, and everyone quickly looked away.
Cang Feilan asked coldly, “So all we can do now is wait here? What should we do about those who secretly conspired to kill my husband?”
If Qin Feng hadn’t anticipated all of this early on and taken precautions, all of these illusions would have seemed to come true. Thinking about this, she felt resentful and wanted to kill these people first.
“Acting immediately will only alert the enemy. We have to wait until there’s movement from the Asura Clan.”
“Besides, the Demon Slaying Department has already been secretly dispatched by Lord Deng, and even His Majesty has sent trusted officials from the Prison Department to clean up internally.”
“It’s only a matter of time before we capture all the enemies,” Qin Feng said.
Cang Feilan remained silent, but the slight furrow in her brow still showed her current dissatisfaction.
On the side, Liu Jianli appeared calm and composed, but she couldn’t hide the coldness in her eyes.
Both of them harboured anger in their hearts. They could bully their own husbands, but not others!
From the railing, the rain outside was barely noticeable, but the sky remained dark.
The National Teacher of the Heavenly Tower gazed to the east, his eyes reflecting the sky, lost in thought.
...
As the saying goes, “Troubles come one after the other, like rain leaking through a roof at night”.
Just two days ago, the news of the Prince’s death had unsettled the people’s hearts, and now another piece of news felt like the sky was falling, spreading from the Eastern Domain all the way to the Imperial City.
The Asura Clan had gone beyond the boundaries of the Eastern Domain, violating the original agreement!
At first, some people didn’t believe it, but the news spread further and further.
Some were still confused. Why would the Asura Clan, which had always valued promises, suddenly change its stance? Could it be that the intent to kill had become so obvious that they couldn’t hold back?
Until someone pointed out that it was Lord Deng of the Demon Slaying Department who had made the deal with the Asura Clan.
And Lord Deng was already dead!
For a moment, their hearts trembled with fear.
Only Heaven Killing Asura remained seated on the towering throne made from the skull of the wild beast, looking down in disdain.
...
Another day passed, and the news from the eastern region was like a drop of water falling into a boiling pot of oil, instantly causing an uproar in the Imperial City.
The Asura Clan was advancing westward from the far eastern region, covering thousands of miles in a single day, and no one could stop them.
The commander of the Demon Slaying Department in the Eastern Region, along with the three Divine Generals, tried to stop them, but they were no match for the four war kings of the Asura Clan, and were left badly injured and unable to fight.
The battle between the supreme forces on both sides was almost completely one-sided, and the ordinary soldiers and low-grade demon slayers were naturally afraid to even enter the fray.
Upon receiving the Imperial decree, the Prince led his troops to retreat a hundred miles away, clearing the way.
And from beginning to end, the Asura King made no move!
While the people of Imperial City were in fear and anxiety, the National Teacher in the Heavenly Tower of the Great Literature Academy looked to the east and suddenly said, “It’s time.”
At the same time, the old man who was fishing by the Nine Bend River suddenly put down his fishing rod and stood up.
With his hands behind his back, he walked step by step through the air. Though his pace seemed slow, after a few breaths, his figure disappeared from the scene.
Outside Imperial City, a thousand miles to the east, the earth shook violently.
A frighteningly huge wild beast stood on all fours, its head higher than mountains.
The ground trembled, and the sound of his footsteps echoed incessantly as the Asura Clan’s army approached.
On the throne, Heaven Killing Asura sensed something and immediately flashed a sinister smile, his eyes filled with killing intent.
He raised his right hand, and the wild beast stopped.
“My king, why have we stopped?” Evil King Bimala asked in confusion.
“We have reached the old man’s territory. It’s always wise to be cautious,” Heaven Killing Asura said, his gaze fixed ahead.
The crowd of asura followed his gaze and saw an old man with white hair and a black beard floating in the sky, coldly staring at them.
Roar!
The ferocious beast suddenly let out a roar of alarm as its massive body collapsed.
Heaven Killing Asura stood up and stepped forward with his right foot, and the beast’s head instantly shattered, bones and flesh flying, and blood raining down like a deluge.
“If you kneel before anyone but me, you deserve to die.”
“You old thing, how much strength do you have left from your heyday?”
The Divine Guardian glanced at the Asuras, then spoke calmly, “The peaceful land of Eastern Region was quite good. Why did you come here to die?”
