The heads were all humiliated. But they didnât dare criticize him anymore, after all, who was to say that he really wouldnât do it? Who was daring enough to bet their own lives on such a risky gamble?
They were here to accuse and sentence Zhong Yue, they thought that with the influence and strength of their races, they would be able to coerce Swords Gate into handing out Zhong Yue. Thus, they had only brought some experts and ordinary divine weapons with them instead of saint weapons.
But now, they realized how huge a mistake they have made.
The human race had over 40 divine weapons and over 20 magnates on their side. With the Great Wilderness humans and Swords Gate Qi Practitioners worshipping the spirits and casting the divine weapons, it wouldnât be too hard a job to finish them off away. There was at least a 90 percent probability of success.
They were here impose pressuring on the humans to follow their request, but now, they were actually being threatened instead. âAre you afraid?â Such words were a total humiliation to them.
However, what was even more humiliating was that they couldnât fight back at all, or otherwise, they could really die here and now.
The heads of the races gritted their teeth, they cursed in their hearts, but deep down, they knew they were helpless.
If the Zhong Yue really does it, he would be even more of a madman than that Feng Xiaozhong!
All of a sudden, the tense atmosphere was softened by Shui Zianâs laughter. Shui Zian said, âFriends⦠Haha, friends! Our acting headmaster is just making a joke with you all. Please, senior martial brothers, forgive our acting headmaster for being so playful. Now, why donât we enter the palace and have some tea first before continuing our discussions?â
He stepped out and gave the heads a platform to save their faces. After all, even if the human race were able to wipe out the heads of the races, Swords Gate wouldnât be able to conquer the world either.
In fact, the Great Wilderness and Swords Gate would have to face the wrath of the world and also the hermit gods in the Ancestral Star. Thus, simply threatening the heads and letting them know that humans were no longer their playthings was already enough for now.
Zhong Yue smiled, he said, âSenior martial brothers, Grand Elder Shui has saved my life before. Since he said itâs a playful joke, then let it be a joke. However, such jokes should only be made once⦠After all, Iâm not a scholar whose hands are clean of blood. I have killed more than I can count and I donât mind adding another few thousand to the count.â
His smile was warm and gentle, but when the heads saw it, they felt a ravenous hunger to kill lurking behind those eyes.
All of a sudden, the Ao Clanâs clan master asked, âZhong Yue, let me ask you just this once, have you colluded with the insect race?â
âNo," Zhong Yue shook his head, he said, âThe insect planet has already been taken down by me. But the insect gods and mother gods might have survived. If they did, they will surely come for the Ancestral Star and when they arrive, you will know that Iâm not lying at all.â
The dragon raceâs clan masters exchanged a look and discussed amongst themselves. After a few moments, the Ao Clanâs clan master said politely, âIf thatâs the case, then we will trust Elder Zhong. Thank you for offering the tea but we still have other matters to attend to. Please do excuse us for now.â
Zhong Yue replied politely, âForgive me for being unable to send you off as I still have guests here with me.â
âItâs alright.â
â¦
The heads of the races watched as the dragon race left. At that instant, they knew it was impossible to execute the plan anymore and they wanted to leave as well. But suddenly, a voice trembled the sky and descended down from the clouds, âZhong Yue, your divine weapons can threaten them, but can they threaten me?â
Then, demonic clouds flew over and covered the sky, forming into a huge face.
A surge of demonic godly aura pressed down from the sky and suppressed the divine weapons. Swords Gate quaked and the Qi Practitioners struggled to stay standing upright.
Zhong Yue raised his head up and saw an imposing demon god standing in mid-air. His head was covered by the lightning zone, it was the demon raceâs demon god â Yanmo He!
Yanmo Heâs mortal body was so huge that his head pierced into the cloud layers. The godly aura around him had suppressed the divine weapons to the ground and although the human race could still cast the divine weapons up after worshipping them, these divine weapons couldnât unleash too much power anymore under the suppression.
The powers of these divine weapons were greatly impaired and werenât as strong as before anymore, they couldnât threaten the heads anymore.
Zhong Yue and Shui Zian frowned while the heads of the races were overjoyed.
âDemon god Yanmo He! He is here personally!" The saint clan master of the Yama saint Clan laughed and said, âNow, Zhong Yue, can you still act as presumptuous as you were before?â
Shi Buyi was also smiling, he stroked his long beard and said, âThreatening others and getting threatened in return instead. You seemed to have quite a bit of fun threatening us, why donât you threaten us again now and see?â
The demon race saint clan masters were feeling incredibly good. Yanmo He was the demon god of the Yama Saint Clan but was also a god of the demon race. One of the two gods that managed to escape back from the insect planet!
Zhong Yue was just talking about killing them, but with Yanmo He on their side now, they would have no fear of Zhong Yueâs threatenings anymore!
Mister Kin Da said frigidly, âYou tried to humiliate us, and are now being humiliated back. How do you feel?â
âI want to know now, what other moves does the wise Zhong Yue have now?â
Shui Zianâs face changed drastically. The arrival of the demon god Yanmo He had caught them all by surprise. The weapons and experts of Swords Gate were more than enough to target the Qi Practitioners, but they could never threaten a god!
âZhong Yue, do you know of your sins?" Yanmo He lowered his head, shooting a burning glare of eyes burning in demonic fire at Zhong Yue.
Zhong Yue remained calm as he raised his head and stared back at the demon god, he said while laughing, âSenior god, have I committed?â
Yanmo He gave a cold snort, and he said indifferently, âWe gods have been ambushed by the insect race and only two managed to survive. If even gods barely survived, how can you, a mere Qi Practitioner make it out? We are gods and you are just a Heavenly Dharma Qi Practitioner!â
Zhong Yue maintained his usual calm amidst the interrogation, âWhat the gods canât do, doesnât mean I canât as well. Senior god, when you were running for your life, so was I. And when you ran out of the insect planet, I destroyed it and broke the dimensional tunnel that lead them to us directly. If you donât believe us, just head over to the North Barren Ancient Frozen Capital and check it out yourself. You will know that Iâm not lying.â
Yanmo He smirked, he said, âI know the tunnel is broken, but how can you prove that it was done by you?â
The heads of the races nodded while the Gui Shen high priest said, âThe insect race wants you to be their spy, thatâs why they intentionally broke the tunnel.â
âIdiot," Zhong Yue glared a pair of cold eyes and said, âThe tunnel was formed by the mother queenâs mouth, you think the insect race will break it just so I can be here? You should really at least pretend to think before speaking.â
âYou!" The Gui Shen high priest shouted back at him with anger.
Zhong Yue lowered his head and sighed, âIf there werenât so many humans here left in the Ancestral Star, I wouldnât have destroyed the insect planet for the other brainless beasts. But we humans are really condemned to living on the same planet as you imbeciles, how unfortunateâ¦â
âZhong Yue, what did you say!?" The heads bellowed at him.
Even Yanmo He couldnât help but to be taunted, he laughed and said, âMere humans, you are just the lowest life form on the Ancestral Star, how dare you call us brainless beasts, you humans are in the truth, two-legged animals we raise to be consumed as food!â
Zhong Yue didnât answer them and mumbled on his own still, âIf I can kill them all, I would very gladly to do it. But there is a bigger enemy in front of us, I still have to work with these bastardsâ¦â
Yanmo Heâs face turned gloomy, the thunder rumbled and clouds stirred. Lightning brewed in the sky and rained down beside Zhong Yue, shattering the stone and rock into pieces.
This was the power of the gods, every movement they made would call upon the rain and wind!
âZhong Yue, say it again!" Yanmo He bellowed.
Zhong Yue sighed, he raised little Xuan Yuan up and lamented, âThe heads of the races suspected how I made it back to the Ancestral Star and whether I colluded with the insect race. But none have ever suspected Yanmo He of making it back? Is it because he is a god, thatâs why he canât be suspected and Iâm just a Qi Practitioner, so I can simply be accused of anything? Yanmo He, I suspect you have fraternized with the insect race, do you admit to your sins?â
Yanmo Heâs face turned darker than the gloomy sky, he stared at Zhong Yue colder than the ice and all of a sudden, he laughed and said, âI was hesitating if I should wipe away you and your Swords Gate before this, but now, I have made my decision and whoever stands in my way will die along with humanity!â
He was filled with killing intent and demonic Qi filled every corner of the Great Wilderness. He was finally going to wipe out Zhong Yue and Swords Gate!
âSlash him," Zhong Yue smiled and said to little Xuan Yuan.
Then, the little child in Zhong Yueâs arms raised his finger and pointed at the demon god, he said in an incredibly cute tone, âSword sword, slash him!â
âSword sword?" everyone in Swords Gate were puzzled, they thought, What sword sword?
Huââ
The divine sword hovering behind little Xuan Yuan suddenly enlarged into a 70 mile long sword, it was filled with godly aura and it slashed down at Yanmo He!
Yanmo Heâs face changed drastically. The divine sword was an emperor-level divine weapon forged by the Human Sovereign. And with the Human Sovereign still living, his power would continuously enhance the divine sword so as to help little Xuan Yuan in controlling the sword.
With the divine sword locking down Yanmo Heâs Yuan Shen, there was simply nowhere for the demon god to run or hide!
It was simply an unstoppable force that no gods in the Ancestral Star could fight against!
âZhong Yue, stop!" A godâs voice came from the west.
In the West Barren, rays of light flashed across the sky as the West Barren gods rushed over. From afar, they tried to stop Zhong Yue and they said, âIf you kill him, you will really be going against the world!â
In that instant when the sword was just an inch away from Yanmo Heâs head, the demon godâs head was cleaved open and a tiny insect god bolted away at great speed.
Inside of Yanmo Heâs brain, there wasnât anything left in it. The tiny insect god had completely devoured it and was stayed in the demon godâs brain to control the Yanmo Heâs body!
The West Barren gods that rushed over were stunned as they watched the insect god flying away. The insect god fluttered his wings hard and disappeared beyond the horizon.
