Boom!
The Cloudy Sky Kingdom's guard suddenly attacked, and a destructive force shot towards the Heavenly Radiant Peak Master.
As a Ninth Tribulation half-True Saint, the Heavenly Radiant Peak Master's strength was unparalleled. His reaction was quick, and he punched out. Two destructive attacks collided.
The space in the hall distorted.
Puchi!
The Heavenly Radiant Peak Master's body trembled as if he had suffered a heavy blow.
He spat out a mouthful of blood.
His body was like a kite with a broken string, and he was sent flying backwards before landing heavily on the ground.
A peak Ninth Tribulation half-True Saint was defeated by an expert of the same realm.
The atmosphere in the hall was extremely strange.
The other peak masters and elders of the Shengling Heavenly Sect all wore ugly expressions. They all activated their cultivation techniques, ready to fight at any moment. In the Shengling Heavenly Sect, it was a humiliation for the Shengling Heavenly Sect to have a peak master injured by an outsider.
"Sir, the Saint Spirit Heavenly Sect is a fifth grade sect."
"The First Prince is just the First Prince. He's not the king."
"Even the king wouldn't wipe out a fifth grade sect for no reason. Does the First Prince represent the Cloudy Sky Kingdom? Is he above the Cloudy Sky Kingdom?"
"According to the empire's laws, the kingdom cannot interfere with the matters of sects and families."
Dongguo Xuejian's face was gloomy.
Although the Saint Spirit Heavenly Sect couldn't be compared to the kingdom, it wasn't an existence that could be wiped out by the kingdom.
Moreover, the empire's laws stated that the kingdom couldn't interfere with the matters of sects and families.
Now that the First Prince had openly supported the Supreme Yue Sect, he had violated the empire's laws.
At this moment, the Saint Spirit Heavenly Sect had completely fallen out with the First Prince and the Supreme Yue Sect. Their only hope was that the empire's laws would restrict the First Prince from interfering with the matters of the Supreme Yue Sect and the Saint Spirit Heavenly Sect.
"Laws?"
"Trying to use the law to suppress the First Prince? What is the Saint Spirit Heavenly Sect in the eyes of the empire? Even if the empire finds out, they can only turn a blind eye."
"Moreover, if we wipe out the Saint Spirit Heavenly Sect, who will say that we have violated the empire's laws?"
"Let me tell you something. Ten days later, the First Prince will ascend the throne and inherit the Cloudy Sky Kingdom."
The Supreme Yue Sect's Zhong Wushu had a smug smile on his face.
The empire did have such a law, but if the Shengling Heavenly Sect was wiped out, the empire could only turn a blind eye to it. Moreover, would the Shengling Heavenly Sect think that the First Prince had broken the law?
The Shengling Heavenly Sect did not have the final say.
The Empire was more willing to believe in the First Prince.
This was a world where the strong reigned supreme. The bigger one's fist was the law.
"The Shengling Heavenly Sect is indeed nothing in the eyes of the empire."
"However, there is one person in the Shengling Heavenly Sect who can wipe out the Cloudsky Kingdom with a single word.
"The Cloudsky Kingdom is nothing in the eyes of the Empire. Moreover, the First Prince wants to inherit the throne? Dream on."
Within the hall, the expressions of Dongguo Xuejian and the others were extremely unsightly.
Because what Zhong Wushu said was reasonable.
When the Shengling Heavenly Sect complained to the empire, the empire naturally sided with the kingdom.
Without powerful strength, even if it was reasonable, there was no way to argue.
Unless there were powerful figures or forces in the empire supporting the Shengling Heavenly Sect. Obviously, that was impossible. For a moment, everyone felt extremely uncomfortable.
The Shengling Heavenly Sect could only blame themselves for not being as strong as the First Prince.
At this moment, a calm voice sounded from outside the hall.
His voice was as light as the wind.
However, it gave off an invisible pressure that made it hard for people to stand up.
Squeak!
The faint sound of footsteps could be heard clearly.
Every step he took gave the people in the hall an even greater pressure.
Instantly, the people of the Shengling Heavenly Sect were curious.
The Cloudsky Kingdom's guards and the Supreme Yue Sect's people had a solemn expression because the words outside were obviously from the Shengling Heavenly Sect's side. They couldn't think of anyone from the Shengling Heavenly Sect that could give them such pressure.
Finally …
A figure appeared at the entrance of the hall.
It was a young man.
He was in his early twenties. He wore a green robe and had an ordinary appearance. He had a scholarly aura around him, just like a scholar. However, this ordinary-looking young man didn't feel the slightest bit of pressure from the dozens of peak Ninth Tribulation half-True Saints in the hall.
He casually strode into the main hall.
The young man didn't stop. Instead, he walked towards the center of the hall.
"Who are you?"
"Aren't your words a little too arrogant? Does the First Prince need your permission to ascend the throne? Are you kidding me? I'd like to ask, who is capable of wiping out the Cloudsky Kingdom with a single word?"
One of the two guards of the Cloudsky Kingdom, Xiao Yunting.
His expression became ugly.
He sized up the young man in front of him.
He wasn't the only one. Everyone present was sizing up the young man.
No matter how strong the Shengling Heavenly Sect was, it was only a fifth-grade sect. In the Cloudsky Kingdom, it could only be considered above average. Who in the sect could wipe out the Cloudsky Kingdom's people with a single word?
What a joke.
"Who do you think you are?"
"Do I have to tell you just because I want to know?"
Under the pressure of the Ninth Tribulation half-True Saints, the young man casually walked to the center of the hall. He looked coldly at Xiao Yunting and said indifferently.
"Courting death."
Xiao Yunting's expression was ugly to the extreme.
As the guard of the Cloudsky Kingdom's First Prince, he had come to a sect under the kingdom. With the First Prince's support, he didn't put anyone in his eyes.
Who would have thought that he would be insulted by a young man in the Shengling Heavenly Sect?
He saw it clearly.
This young man was a Fifth Tribulation half-True Saint.
He could crush a mere Fifth Tribulation half-True Saint to death with a single hand.
With a single punch, he punched towards the young man.
Previously, he had injured the Heavenly Radiance Peak Master with a single punch. Now that he was dealing with a Fifth Tribulation half-True Saint, the young man would die without a doubt.
"Ignorant."
The young man raised his hand and punched out lightly.
Boom!
With a loud explosion, a burst of light exploded in the hall. Space shattered inch by inch.
Ah!
Xiao Yunting screamed miserably.
Xiao Yunting's arm was directly crushed by the young man's attack. That terrifying attack continued to press forward. His entire arm was smashed into nothingness.
In an instant …
Xiao Yunting's entire body was smashed into nothingness.
It was as if Xiao Yunting had disappeared into thin air.
In other words, it was as if he had never appeared in the hall.
At this moment, everyone was dumbfounded.
A Fifth Tribulation half-True Saint had smashed a peak Ninth Tribulation half-True Saint into nothingness with a single punch. How powerful was that attack? It was simply unimaginable. Even a True Saint could easily kill a half-True Saint, but smashing a half-True Saint into nothingness was an impossible feat.
But in front of them, a Fifth Tribulation half-True Saint had smashed a Ninth Tribulation half-True Saint into nothingness.
