Chapter 2064: Enforce the Law on Behalf of the Great Emperor

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The Millet Emperor was like a deity as he stood in the sky above the Donghua Palace. The divine watchtower stood next to him, like a Gate of the Heavens. It suppressed everything below. Everyone in the Domain Chief’s Manor could sense this frightening power.

As expected, Millet Emperor had known of this news beforehand. He had left before this to return to the Wangshen Watchtower and retrieved the divine watchtower. He was prepared to wage war.

This time, there was going to be a huge commotion during the Donghua Banquet. A storm was brewing.

The other cultivators realized this. They looked up at the silhouette of Wangshen Watchtower far off in the sky above. They were curious as to what had happened. Millet Emperor had carried the divine watchtower over here. He stood in the sky above Domain Chief’s Manor and suppressed this part of the sky.

Emperor Yan accused in an indifferent tone, “Chief, what I said was true. The Millet Emperor knew before this that the members of his force had defied the rules set by Chief and had brutally murdered the Yan Kingdom and Lingxiao Palace’s disciples. Hence, he intentionally went back to make preparations and came here to pressure us. He does not take Chief seriously in this Donghua Banquet.” His tone was oozing with a chilly aura.

Wangshen Watchtower was a divine item and was very powerful. Rumor had it that it was an ancient treasure. There were also rumors that Wangshen Watchtower was a Gate of the Heavens before the Heavenly Path collapsed. By some fateful encounter, the Millet Emperor obtained it. Its might was extremely frightening. Various cultivators were cautious of him. This was also the reason why they eliminated Supreme Deity Donglai but not the Millet Emperor.

Carrying Wangshen Watchtower, the Millet Emperor was already enough to pose a threat to them.

“This time, Chief organized the Donghua Banquet and gathered the various forces. The disciples of Wangshen Watchtower first defied the rule of killing cultivators in the secret zone. Now, the Millet Emperor wishes to stir up a storm in the Donghua Domain by carrying the divine watchtower over here. Incredible,” Lingxiao Palace Palace Lord, Ling Yunzi also spoke up. It was as though he placed all the responsibility on the Millet Emperor and the members of Wangshen Watchtower.

From the looks of it, they had to get rid of Millet Emperor and the members of Wangshen Watchtower this time. Otherwise, they would eventually become a thorn in their side.

“Chief, the Millet Emperor might have figured out something,” Ling Yunzi told Chief Ning over transmitted thoughts. Chief Ning looked up at the Millet Emperor. Before this, Ning Hua had also briefly explained to him what had happened. Based on his judgment, be it the cultivators of Wangshen Watchtower or the Millet Emperor, they probably no longer trusted him. Hence, they had immediately prepared for battle.

That meant that the other party had indeed figured out something. It was just that owing to his ability and position, they did not state it outright. They could only endure it for now.

When he thought of this, Chief Ning made his decision. From the looks of it, the Millet Emperor and the forces of Wangshen Watchtower needed to be eliminated. The divine item of Domain Chief’s Manor, the Heavenly Scroll of Sealing, had been destroyed. They needed to replace it with another divine item to fortify the position of the Domain Chief’s Manor. Although this divine watchtower was not compatible with Chief Ning’s cultivation, it was still considered an absolute treasure.

Chief Ning said, “Millet Emperor, this is the Donghua Banquet. For you to carry the divine watchtower here, are you planning to suppress the various forces of the Donghua Domain as well as my Domain Chief’s Manor? How presumptuous of you.” No one could sense his emotions from his tone. He still appeared very calm, but his words already indicated his stance.

Before this, he had said that both sides should settle their differences. There seemed to be some changes. These words were already chastising the Millet Emperor.

Before the Millet Emperor arrived, Emperor Yan wanted to attack Ye Futian. Chief Ning did not speak out and did not stop Emperor Yan. Now that the Millet Emperor had arrived, although the commotion he created was larger, he only did this as a last resort. If he did not do so, he could not withstand the power of Emperor Yan and Ling Yunzi, two peak figures, alone. Hence, he had directly carried the divine watchtower over here.

He was already prepared for the worst-case scenario.

“Chief, you worry too much. The Yan Kingdom and Lingxiao Palace have gone against the Wangshen Watchtower at every turn,” the Millet Emperor replied. “Hence, I had no choice but to return home and prepare. I carried the divine watchtower here only to ensure that I can lead the cultivators of Wangshen Watchtower away from here. I hope Chief can forgive this.” His voice shook the skies.

“If that is the case, put your divine watchtower away and let me handle this matter,” Chief Ning continued as he looked at the Millet Emperor.

Ye Futian and the other members swept a glance at the Chief. He would handle the matter?

Before this, he had already shown how he would handle the matter. He would not get involved with either side, allowing both parties to settle it among themselves. Just now, when the Millet Emperor was not around, Emperor Yan directly attacked Ye Futian. Fortunately, Emperor Xi had stopped Emperor Yan.

Now that the Millet Emperor had returned, Chief Ning wanted him to put the divine watchtower away. This was Chief Ning’s way of handling things.

“This matter involves the grudge between our two parties. Chief, you do not need to worry. We will settle it ourselves.” How could the Millet Emperor possibly put the divine watchtower away? He looked down below and said, “The grudge between Wangshen Watchtower and the Yan Kingdom as well as Lingxiao Palace will not involve any other force.”

This was what Chief Ning had promised before. Both sides would settle it among themselves.

Chief Ning stared at the Millet Emperor as pressure emanated from his body. His gaze also gradually turned cold. He said, “This is the Domain Chief’s Manor of the Donghua Domain. Today is also the Donghua Banquet. It seems that you do not take my words seriously anymore.”

The Millet Emperor looked at Chief Ning. These words were completely unreasonable. From his attitude, Millet Emperor also understood that Chief Ning wanted to forcefully be a part of this and chose his side.

From the looks of it, them wanting to bear the ridicule and temper their rage in order not to offend the Domain Chief’s Manor would not work. The other party was not going to let them go.

“That is not my intention,” the Millet Emperor replied. The Millet Emperor had already stated his stance, but if Chief Ning wanted to take part forcefully, he could not do anything about that. Any reason that Chief Ning gave would have been sufficient.

“Humph,” Chief Ning coldly snorted.

The pressure from his body grew stronger, becoming extremely intense. His gaze was no longer calm, instead containing a cold aura. He stared at the Millet Emperor in the sky and said, “Ye Liunian defied my will and brutally murdered the cultivators who entered the secret zone. Regardless of whatever reason he had for doing so, what is done is done. I wanted to give face to you and Wangshen Watchtower by not getting involved even though he defied my rule. However, you brought your divine watchtower here and entered Domain Chief’s Manor with such a show of force. It seems that you are the same as Ye Liunian. You have not taken the Donghua Banquet seriously at all.”

As Chief Ning was speaking, his aura of the Great Path emanated outwards and enveloped the endless space. Everyone could feel the pressure coming from him.

In Donghua Palace, the giant level figures all looked at Chief Ning. They revealed looks of profound understanding.

So that was why.

From the very beginning, Chief Ning, who ruled over the Donghua Domain, had already decided. He allowed the other party to go after Ye Futian and did not get involved, appearing as an amiable person. However, given the current situation where the Millet Emperor came with the divine watchtower, he could no longer maintain his façade. He could only lay his stance bare.

He was going after Ye Futian.

Ye Futian would not be able to escape.

The Millet Emperor swept a glance at Chief Ning. As expected, he had directly revealed his goal and dropped his façade.

The Millet Emperor threatened, “I do not care who set the rules. I only know that the disciples of Wangshen Watchtower have done nothing wrong. Today, I will leave with them. I will kill anyone who dares touch a cultivator of Wangshen Watchtower. Whoever kills a junior of Wangshen Watchtower, I will do the same to their juniors.” He stepped forward and placed his hand on the divine watchtower. Terrifying loud rumbling sounds could be heard immediately. Countless divine tablets seemed to appear in the sky. They descended from above and enveloped the entire Domain Chief’s Manor.

There were so many people in Domain Chief’s Manor. Even Chief Ning was cautious. Unless they could instantly subdue the Millet Emperor, if Wangshen Watchtower came crashing down, the heavens and earth would be shattered and torn apart. Countless people would die then.

He would kill the juniors of whoever killed his juniors? Did this include Ning Hua?

“The Millet Emperor is quite savage today,” the Thunder Punishing Skylord said to Emperor Xi over transmitted thoughts. This time, the Millet Emperor had fallen out with the Domain Chief. Even though he was going against three giant level figures, one of which was the Chief who stood at the peak of the Donghua Domain, he was still unafraid.

Emperor Xi replied over transmitted thoughts, “Before this, I found it strange as to why Ling Yunzi was always flattering Chief. Now, I seemed to have glimpsed some clues as to why. From the looks of it, Chief and Ling Yunzi have long been in cahoots. Their relationship is most likely not ordinary. There is also the Great Yan Ancient Royal Family. It seems that there is more than meets the eye about the death of Supreme Deity Donglai.”

They were all figures at the peak of the domain. They weren’t foolish. The other giant-level figures also vaguely realized what was going on.

However, the Millet Emperor’s show of force still came as a surprise to everyone. As expected of the Millet Emperor. Only a cultivator at the peak would show such boldness.

When Ling Yunzi and Emperor Yan heard Millet Emperor’s words, they laughed sinisterly. They were waiting for this end result. The only pity was that Ling He and Yan Dongyang had perished.

However, the Millet Emperor and the members of Wangshen Watchtower were about to join them.

After today, there would be one less figure and force at the peak of the Donghua Domain.

Since the Millet Emperor had said so, Chief Ning did not hold back.

Chief Ning looked up at the Millet Emperor. He had an imposing manner, and his expression was cold and indifferent. He said, “I was tasked by the Great Emperor to oversee the Donghua Domain. I have always hoped for the prosperity of the Donghua Domain and that more prominent figures would emerge. Although the various forces of the Donghua Domain had their conflicts and disputes, I also hoped that they would get along. Hence, I organized the Donghua Banquet. I also set rules before all of you entered the secret zone. However, the Millet Emperor wishes for the peace of the Donghua Domain to be shattered. If that is the case, I will enforce the law on behalf of the Great Emperor. Millet Emperor, I find you guilty.”
