Chapter 1535 - 1525: Waiting

Chapter 1535: Chapter 1525: Waiting

Lin Yun’s heart sank, and he continued to walk forward, hoping to bluff his way through.

However, the other strong members of the Ten Thousand Slaughter Hall were not pleased after hearing Qin Wudao’s words. They all knew Qin Wudao, the ruler of the barbarian lands that had caused the Ten Thousand Slaughter Hall significant losses.

Although, during this time, the Ten Thousand Slaughter Hall had suffered setbacks at the hands of the Qin Dynasty.

But as one of the six major forces, they still looked down on the Qin Dynasty from the bottom of their hearts.

Plus, they were unaware of Lin Yun’s actions and thought Qin Wudao was deliberately picking a fight.

"Who did I think it was?"

"So it’s the Qin ruler! Why are you wearing the Azure Cloud Sect’s attire now? Have you submitted to the Azure Cloud Sect and become their lackey?"

One of the disciples of the Ten Thousand Slaughter Hall mocked.

Upon hearing these words.

Lin Yun felt a chill run down his scalp. His right foot stomped hard on the ground, and his whole body turned into a stream of light, shooting towards the exit of the Southern Heaven Gate.

But before he could get far, he saw a streak of light traverse the sky.

Bam!

Lin Yun felt his vision go black, dizziness took over, and he fell to the ground, blood splattering.

When he regained his senses, he looked up to see Yuwen Chengdu standing with his spear, surrounded by flashing electricity, exuding a destructive aura that shattered the void.

He seemed like a thunder god standing between heaven and earth.

"Three Knowledge Realm!"

Upon sensing Yuwen Chengdu’s cultivation, Lin Yun’s pupils shrank dramatically, his jaw trembled, and he was utterly shocked.

Wasn’t it said that Three Knowledge Realm martial artists were forbidden in the Cloud Sky Palace?

Could it be that this person had broken through inside the Cloud Sky Palace?

But whatever the case.

Lin Yun knew he was done for.

"You..."

The arrogant member of the Ten Thousand Slaughter Hall paused, swallowing hard.

He felt the atmosphere was a bit strange.

"Die!"

At this moment, Qin Wudao stepped forward, the Xuanyuan Sword unsheathed at his waist, slicing directly across the neck of that arrogant member, spraying blood and staining the ground red.

"Qin Wudao, dare you kill someone from the Ten Thousand Slaughter Hall?"

"The conflict between the Ten Thousand Slaughter Hall and the Qin Dynasty has been resolved, yet you arbitrarily kill a prodigy from the Ten Thousand Slaughter Hall. This is a provocation to the Ten Thousand Slaughter Hall!"

"You are insane!"

Seeing the body on the ground, the remaining five members of the Ten Thousand Slaughter Hall were furious, denouncing him.

"Why don’t you ask the reason?"

Qin Wudao pointed at Lin Yun, saying calmly, "This person in the Cloud Sky Palace lured me into the abyss, then destroyed the cliff, causing me to fall into the abyss, narrowly escaping with my life. Can I not take revenge?"

As soon as these words were spoken.

The faces of the five prodigies of the Ten Thousand Slaughter Hall changed dramatically.

They did not expect Lin Yun to be so bold as to assassinate Qin Wudao.

At this time, one of the prodigies bowed and said, "Emperor Qin, Lin Yun’s assassination attempt on you is his personal behavior, you can deal with him as you wish, but could you spare us?"

Admitting defeat!

The other four prodigies of the Ten Thousand Slaughter Hall were a bit dissatisfied, but after thinking for a moment, they remained silent.

With a Three Knowledge Realm expert by Qin Wudao’s side, they were no match for him. It was better to sacrifice Lin Yun to save themselves.

As for saving Lin Yun?

What a joke!

They hadn’t blamed Lin Yun for acting on his own accord, which was good enough.

"No way!"

Qin Wudao shook his head and said.

"Why?"

The prodigy of the Ten Thousand Slaughter Hall asked in confusion.

"Naturally, to root it out completely!"

Qin Wudao’s words fell, and his face suddenly turned cold.

The thought moved.

The Xuanyuan Sword sliced through the air at an extreme speed, killing the five prodigies of the Ten Thousand Slaughter Hall before they could react, their heads flying through the air, blood gushing like a fountain.

Five heads fell to the ground, eyes wide open, dying with their eyes open.

Upon closer inspection, one could see resentment in their eyes, some directed at Qin Wudao, but more towards Lin Yun.

If not for Lin Yun, they wouldn’t have died.

Clang!

The Xuanyuan Sword sheathed, producing a piercing sound.

Qin Wudao stepped over the bodies to Lin Yun, asking calmly, "Who instructed you to assassinate me?"

He didn’t believe Lin Yun would dare to assassinate him.

There must be someone behind him giving orders.

"Dog Emperor, no one instructed me, I just can’t stand you!"

Lin Yun’s eyes widened, revealing endless murderous intent. If looks could kill, his eyes would be the sharpest blade.

He didn’t betray the elder of the great hall.

Not only out of gratitude for the teachings but also because he was a doomed man, there was no need to implicate others.

"It doesn’t matter if you don’t speak!"

"I’ll assume it’s a unanimous decision from the Ten Thousand Slaughter Hall’s elite!"

"Rest assured, your master and fellow disciples will soon join you!"

Qin Wudao didn’t get angry, simply said, and turned to leave.

Does he care about the real culprit?

Not at all!

Anyway, the Ten Thousand Slaughter Hall was already on the death list.

"Qin Wudao, you are a tyrant..."

Lin Yun yelled with hatred as he watched the receding figure, but before he could finish, Yuwen Chengdu speared him, ending his life and soul.

Yuwen Chengdu shook his head and sat cross-legged under the statue from before, continuing his cultivation.

He felt that with a bit more cultivation, he could initially grasp the power of time.

By then, he should be able to catch up with His Majesty!

"Xiaoqi, where are you!"

Reaching the end of the corridor, Qin Wudao glanced around, the image of Xiaoqi’s naive smile floating in his mind, causing a pang in his heart, muttering quietly.

The waiting was excruciating.

Every minute.

Every second.

Seemed particularly long.

During the wait, many prodigies passed by him, but none of them was Xiaoqi.

Qin Wudao’s heart gradually tightened.

He began to let his thoughts run wild.

Could Xiaoqi have met with misfortune?

Or trapped somewhere?

As time passed.

A day went by.

The next day, Qin Wudao maintained the same posture as yesterday, his left hand gripping the hilt of the Xuanyuan Sword so tightly that the veins bulged.

Like dragons coiling on his hand.

"Your Majesty, there are four hours left before the Cloud Sky Palace closes!"

Yuwen Chengdu finished his cultivation, walked over to Qin Wudao, and reported respectfully.

"Wait!"

Qin Wudao replied.

One word.

Firm and forceful.

Yuwen Chengdu nodded and returned to his cultivation.

More time passed.

"Your Majesty, there is one hour remaining!"

Yuwen Chengdu opened his eyes, unable to hold back a shout.

"Wait!"

Qin Wudao’s voice still showed no hesitation.

He gazed into the distance, and within his line of sight, there were no more prodigies walking about. By this time, the living prodigies had all left.

For being trapped in the Cloud Sky Palace meant waiting billions of years to leave.

"Your Majesty, there is only a quarter of an hour remaining. Let’s go out and wait!"

At this moment, Yuwen Chengdu was somewhat flustered.

"Wait!"

Qin Wudao’s face was gloomy, his gaze fixed on the front.

Not blinking even once.

Afraid to miss someone.

Again, he chose to wait.

Yuwen Chengdu jumped anxiously, several times wanting to forcibly drag Qin Wudao out with martial strength, but ultimately, he gave up because from Qin Wudao’s tone and expression, he saw determination.

No!

It should be called obsession.

"Sigh! Please come out soon!"

Yuwen Chengdu, at a loss, stood beside Qin Wudao, staring ahead with him, their eyes straining to see.
