Chapter 3063: Frightened Out of Their Wits (One)
At this moment, the entire southern region experienced a great earthquake. The ground split open, the mountains collapsed, and even the ancient walls and structures that stood in the south were affected, facing different degrees of damage.
The Dong’an province where the Tian Yuan clan stood was a heavily-affected zone. Under the havoc of the powerful collateral energy, not only was the entire provincial city devastated, but the many low-level cultivators in the city suffered from injuries of various degrees too.
Fortunately, the Grand Prime possessed extremely sharp control over his energy, so almost no more energy remained after destroying the formation in a single strike. Otherwise, probably all the lives in the entire Pingtian Empire would be annihilated.
Immediately, the Tian Yuan clan lost all of their formations. The entire clan was exposed before everyone’s eyes, without any secrets to hide anymore.
Figures flickered above the Tian Yuan clan. They appeared out of thin air, giving off a tremendous presence as they overlooked the entire place, lording over them like they were ants in their eyes.
That was true. In their eyes, even the peak clans that stood at the apex of the Cloud Plane were not worthy of their attention, let alone the Tian Yuan clan that only had a Chaotic Prime.
Within the banquet hall, Ming Dong, who was having a merry time with everyone, frowned and immediately asked, “What’s happened outside?”
For a moment, the table fell silent. Everyone was filled with confusion, rather perplexed by what was going on.
Ming Xie’s figure appeared silently before Ming Dong; he said politely, “Ninth majesty, a group of experts have come outside. They’re all from large clans and organisations scattered across the Saints’ World. They seem like they’ve come to make trouble for the Tian Yuan clan.”
“They’ve come to make trouble for the Tian Yuan clan.” Ming Dong’s face sank, immediately smashing his cup against the ground. He sneered and said, “How bold of them, to actually make trouble for the Tian Yuan clan.”
“Please don’t panic, everyone. I’ll go outside first and take a look at what is going on. Perhaps there’s a misunderstanding or something.” Xi Yu was relatively calm in comparison. She calmed down Ming Dong and everyone else before immediately heading outside to learn more about the situation.
By now, the Tian Yuan clan had already fallen into disorder. The Primordial realm experts they had recruited through great benefits had all gathered together, gazing at the group of people in the air with fear and uneasiness.
They could clearly sense that over a hundred experts had suddenly appeared above the Tian Yuan clan. Even the weakest among them were Chaotic Primes. There were even other experts that gave off presences so powerful that it far exceeded the realm of their understanding.
“W- why are there so many experts here? Even the weakest among them is far beyond what we can handle.”
“T- they’ve come with hostile intentions!”
All of the Infinite Primes recruited by the Tian Yuan clan were stern.
“Who amongst you handles the affairs?” an old man asked sternly from high above, his expression very cold.
“I’m Xi Yu, and I currently hold the position of clan leader. May I ask why the seniors have suddenly visited today?” Below, Xi Yu clasped her fist towards the sky, without coming off as too humble or arrogant.
Given the situation today, Xi Yu really had no idea what she could do if Ming Dong had not been around.
But now that they had Ming Dong, Xi Yu immediately found her confidence too.
Whether a violent storm, mountains of blades, or seas of blood lay ahead, Ming Dong would be around. Even if the sky fell on them, Ming Dong would be there to hold it up.
“Xi Yu? The leader of the Tian Yuan clan? Yeah, that does match the reports.” The old man nodded before tossing down a divine hall on an open plot of land in the Tian Yuan clan. He said in a tone that left no room for argument, “Since you’re a leader of the Tian Yuan clan, then hurry up and gather all the people of the Tian Yuan clan in this divine hall.”
“Remember, we want everyone from the Tian Yuan clan, whether it’s the guards or the servants. None of them should be missing. Do you understand me?” the old man said coldly. He raised four fingers and said indifferently, “Four hours. I’ll give you just four hours. After those four hours, anyone who hasn’t entered the divine hall, no matter who they are or what status they possess, will only have a single fate awaiting them—death!”
Towards the end, the old man’s tone suddenly became grim. He radiated with icy-cold killing intent, making the surrounding temperature plummet.
In the very beginning, Xi Yu was still confused, but towards the end, her face immediately changed. She asked sternly, “Seniors, may I ask how our Tian Yuan clan has offended you? Why must you force us all to enter the divine hall? And, what will you do to us once we enter the divine hall?”
“Hmph, where are all these questions coming from? Follow the orders, and that’s enough. Remember, you only have four hours. There won’t be a single person remaining in the Tian Yuan clan after those four hours,” the old man said coldly, “Don’t think about running. If you enter the divine hall obediently, you still might have a chance at living, but if you run, then you have no hope of surviving anymore.”
Xi Yu’s expression became extremely ugly. The old man had been far too haughty and arrogant, completely viewing the Tian Yuan clan as sitting ducks.
“Hahahaha, who is this to speak so boldly? You actually claim you will destroy the Tian Yuan clan?” At this moment, a sneer rang out. Ming Dong walked out from the banquet hall steadily with a folding fan in his hand.
Arriving outside, he sat down on a chair and crossed his legs, gazing at the sky. With a sneer on his face, he mocked them. “Anyone who doesn’t enter the divine hall after those four hours will die. What a mighty demand. However, I refuse to believe you’re capable of something like that. I’ll sit right here for four hours and see with my own eyes how you leave the Tian Yuan clan without a single person remaining.”
“How dare you! What disrespect! You cannot be forgiven!”
Ming Dong’s sneers immediately angered a few people. Immediately, a Chaotic Prime great elder roared out furiously. With a wave of his hand, a sword condensed from energy shot towards Ming Dong mercilessly.
“How dare you!” Ming Xie immediately bellowed out from behind Ming Dong. Killing intent erupted from his eyes and the presence of a Ninth Heavenly Layer Chaotic Prime suddenly burst forth. He immediately rushed into the air and threw a punch. Energy surged out, immediately dispersing the attack from the great elder, before continuing onwards without weakening at all towards the great elder with cold killing intent.
“Hmph!” Suddenly, a cold snort rang out and a Grand Prime ancestor who stood with his eyes closed suddenly opened his eyes. In the moment they opened, they flashed with cold, sharp light. Afterwards, with a wave of his hand, a huge hand of energy condensed from terrifying energy immediately appeared, swinging towards Ming Xie mercilessly.
This was the strike of a Grand Prime. In terms of the might, it was boundless!
In that split second, Ming Xie suddenly began to shine with blinding golden light, immediately becoming encased in golden armour. He was like a god of war, valiant and mighty in bearing.
