The gods all stood up, including Imperial Emperor Fu Ya and Imperial Emperor Duo Yin. They too, didn’t dare to act cocky. Zhong Yue bowed and greeted, “Your Majesty.”

Imperial Emperor Xian Tian said warmly, “King Yi, I am here for Feng Shengyong’s life. He is, after all, a peaked Imperial Emperor, an ancient great presence. They are more useful alive than dead…”

Zhong Yue abruptly interrupted, “Your Majesty, do you still remember the conditions I’ve laid back when I was appointed as commander in the Xian Tian Palace?”

Imperial Emperor Xian Tian was startled, he softly nodded, “I do.”

“I demanded rights to kill!” Zhong Yue replied solemnly, “I demanded powers to act outside of Your Majesty’s jurisdiction! I demanded the freedom to act without Zi Guang’s inputs! I demanded the freedom to act, not needing to report and seek approvals from Your Majesty beforehand! These were the 4 conditions Your Majesty has promised me before I willingly be appointed as the commander of a mere million gods, and helped conquering the vast land.”

Imperial Emperor Xian Tian nodded, “King Yi, your merits are immeasurable and undeniable, it could even be said that you’ve single-handedly raised a kingdom on your own. But Feng Shenyong and Fu Baozheng bring great enhancements to our Xian Tian Palace’s top-tier combat abilities. They are the ancient great presences, their prowesses are invaluable, if we kill them…”

“What makes Your Majesty thinks that you can control them? They’ve even betrayed the Fuxi Clan, what guarantees are there they wouldn’t betray Your Majesty? If it wasn’t because I had the strength to strike them down, what Your Majesty will be witnessing will not just be mine, but also the corpses of all 500 million gods of the Heaven Suppressing Grand Stronghold. Even the ownership of the Heaven Suppressing Grand Stronghold will be lost too.”

Zhong Yue took out the commander’s seal, token, gown, and girdle, and placed them at the sides. He lowered his voice, “If Your Majesty still decides to trust these traitors instead, please, have the commander’s equipments back and have someone else safeguarding the Heaven Suppressing Grand Stronghold.”

Imperial Emperor Xian Tian frowned, he said, “King Yi, keep them with you still. I’ve given my order, Fu Baotian will be arriving with my decree for you to spare them. A commander has rights to act before the lord’s approvals; but when the lord’s orders have been given, the commander shall execute them as per told. King Yi, reconsider the situations.”

Then, his body dispersed into smoke and vanished.

Imperial Emperor Fu Ya frowned and murmured, “Imperial Emperor is angered. King Yi, shouldn’t you reconsider your choices again?”

Imperial Emperor Duo Yin nodded, “Imperial Emperor’s anger stems from King Yi’s uncontrollable behaviours. If you insist so, the Imperial Emperor’s reputation will be impaired in front of the many armies. This is not what a wise advisor would do.”

Zhong Yue swung his sleeves, sat back and commanded in a solemn tone, “Continue the execution!”

Sovereign Ning gulped, he surged his arcane energy and continued swinging the saber!

After a few dozen strikes, he was finally able to behead Feng Shenyong. But suddenly, he was stunned and quickly reported, “Lord, there is no blood!”

Then, flesh squirmed out from Feng Shenyong’s severed neck and regenerated a new head. A provoking smile radiated across his face.

“Let me!” Zhong Yue abruptly stood up and strode forth. With a change of thought, a bright white ray hovered in mid-air, turning into a divine saber and was heavily brought down from the sky.

In just a swing, Feng Shenyong’s head rolled to the stage floor and blood flowed out from his neck!

It shocked the crowd, Pu Ya, Duo Yin, and even Yin Fukang were surprised. They immediately stood up and stared right towards the stage.

This strike was created from the emotions, thoughts, and experience Zhong Yue acquired when executing Feng Zhen; that swing would be able to slice the Dao totem patterns within the body and not even monarch level body could take it, let alone Feng Shenyong.

Zhong Yue sheathed his saber, sat back to the seat and said, “His blood is flowing out now, continue the execution!

The cut on Feng Shenyong’s neck regenerated quickly and in a blink of an eye, another head grew out, wearing a horrified and panic expression as he watches Sovereign Ning’s saber struck down mercilessly.

No longer calm and steady, the mocking laughter on his face disappeared for Zhong Yue’s attack had shattered the immortal Dao totem patterns in his body and Yuan Shen; now, his immortality was no more!

At the same time, when the divine blood in his body flowed out, the blood seeped deep into the ground, triggering the God Slaying Stage’s power and Feng Shenyong could right away tell that the power in his own blood had turned into every possible way that countered him; as if there were innumerable hooks, these hooks chained right onto the Daos in him, his Yuan Shen, body, energy and psyche!

Sovereign Ning was a peak Creator, the saber in his hands was formed from his sharp talon that was nurtured in his body for years and his racial talent was a talent that targets Yuan Shen and soul!

Feng Shenyong could only watch hopelessly as the saber being swung at him, despair and anxiety crept into him. But suddenly, he caught a glimpse of someone rushing towards him and hope immediately returned to him.

Fu Baotian is here! He is here to save me with Imperial Emperor Xian Tian’s order! If I managed to get out alive, I will expose this little brat’s secret, show him no mercy and what is called looking for his own death!

Outside the walls, Fu Baotian’s presence roared and with a rumbling voice, he shouted angrily, “King Yi, accept your orders!”

Sovereign Ning stopped right away, the saber rested right above Feng Shenyong’s head and he looked towards Zhong Yue, who ordered without hesitation, “Execute him!”

“But master….” mumbled Sovereign Ning cowardly.

Seeing the reluctant and hesitation in Sovereign Ning, Zhong Yue disappeared from the seat and emerged beside him, forcefully took over the saber and with a swing, Feng Shenyong’s head was already on the ground!

Sovereign Ning had a shock but Zhong Yue had already turned away while throwing the saber back to him.

“You!” shouted the angered Fu Baotian.

Zhong Yue however, bowed and calmly said, “The order.”

Fu Baotian’s eyes were wide opened, he shivered as he held Imperial Emperor Xian Tian’s order scroll in his hands and he looked towards the stage in intense shock. On the stage, the blood flowed like a river as Feng Shenyong’s blood gushed out from his body and flowed right into the cursed soul pool.

When his body was killed, what died along with it was the soul in his Yuan Shen and that entirely erased every chance for him to be revived!

“How dare you!”

Fu Baotian pointed at Zhong Yue angrily and shouted, “Imperial Emperor Xian Tian wants you to set Feng Shenyong free but you killed him! You are really brave! Today on this stage, your head will fall right beside Feng Shenyong’s!”

Zhong Yue however, stood up, wore a bright smile on his face and laughed menacingly, “Messenger, how can you speak like that? Besides, have you read the order?”

Fu Baotian stuttered and he immediately humphed, “You know very well what the Imperial Emperor wants! You will not save your life after going against His Majesty’s order!”

Zhong Yue remained smiling and he said, “Senior Martial Brother Fu, look at my army, are they strong?”

Fu Baotian looked around and what entered his vision was 50,000,000 soldiers that acted in perfect sync, which was a quality only possessed by an elite army!

“Now, look at my generals, are they mighty?” asked Zhong Yue again.

Fu Baotian took a look at the generals, who consist of almost 60 Creators, and with the addition of Yinkang Clan’s gods, there were almost 100 Creators and there was still peak Imperial Emperors such as Yin Fukang on the scene!

Zhong Yue then pointed to the air and continued, “Then, are my weapons enough?”

Fu Baotian’s eyes twitched as he looked up, seeing all the shining Heavens hanging high in the skies.

Zhong Yue then calmly said, “Senior Martial Brother Fu, why don’t you stay and have a drink before you go?”

Right away, smile crawled up all over Fu Baotian’s face as he burst out a nervous laughter, “Nicely done, King Yi! You have served us the justice the world needed! Good kill, good kill on that traitor! Traitors like him should be executed right away! By the way, where is Fu Baozheng?”

“Just like you said, justice is served. That traitorous old dog is also executed and I am planning to hang their heads at the city gates to warn everyone about the consequences of betrayal.”

Zhong Yue then urged again, “Senior Martial Brother Fu, please have a cup of tea first before you go.”

“No no no, it’s fine. Thank you.”

Fu Baotian shook his hands nervously and smiled, “While I really want to have a cup of tea with you, I am unfortunately too occupied by the official affairs. I have to return to the Xian Tian Palace right away and report back to His Majesty about this good news! Farewell!”

Zhong Yue stood up, sent him away and said, “Senior martial brother, feel free to drop by when you’re free!”

“Of course! King Yi, please, this far is enough. Thank you for walking me out.”

Fu Baotian left quickly; the speed of a peak Imperial Emperor was incredibly fast and he should arrive at Xian Tian Palace in no time. Zhong Yue returned to the stage where Sovereign Ning was checking the cursed soul pool and reported, “My lord, the energy is all charged up Next time, it will not be difficult to kill an Imperial Emperor anymore.”

Yin Fukang, however, did not feel easy at this and he mockingly smiled, “This stage is really not bad, being able to behead even a peak Imperial Emperor. I presume it would be even easier to kill you if you’re on the stage, my dear son-in-law.”

Zhong Yue immediately smiled, “Father.”

“Shush!”

Yin Fukang shouted angrily, “Imperial Emperor Xian Tian ordered you to stand down but look at what’ve you done! Why can’t you just let him go? Why!”

At the side, Imperial Emperor Fu Ya and Duo Yin were both in intense shock and they immediately bid farewell upon reaching an agreement that this place was no longer safe. Zhong Yue immediately sent them away and after he returned, Yin Fukang remained angry and still wore the mocking laugh, “Father, I’ve others that will support me, Imperial Emperor Xian Tian will not lay a finger on me yet.”

Yin Fukang smirked, “If he wants to deal with you, not even we Yinkang Clan will be able to protect you.”

“What if there is also the Jinwu Clan?” asked Zhong Yue.

“Jinwu Clan? Why?” asked a confused Yin Fukang.

Zhong Yue immediately gave him a tensed laugh, “Father, did you not know that Celestial Monarch Jin Wu is going to have a marital relationship with our family? See, such fortunate things are delivered right to us!”

“Marriage?”

Yin Fukang was extremely confused, “Jinwu Clan is a very well known and powerful celestial race in the ancient universe. Ever since the beginning, celestials and demons are like fire and water, Jinwu Clan is also a sovereign race so there is no way they will have such a relationship with us….”

“What are you thinking, father? They are very fond of your son-in-law!”

Zhong Yue smiled happily, “Celestial Monarch Jin Wu wants to marry his most outstanding disciple to your son-in-law!”

Yin Fukang had a shock and he said with widened eyes, “Jinwu Clan’s daughter? My son-in-law? Who dares to marry we Yinkang Clan’s daughter and wants to marry another lady? I will cut off his penis and crush it!”

Zhong Yue then awkwardly murmured, “Ermmm….”

Yin Fukang immediately realized that Zhong Yue was referring to himself and he looked at Zhong Yue angrily.

Zhong Yue mumbled, “Father….”

“How many father-in-laws do you have!”

Zhong Yue nervously replied, “A few….”

“A few!” shouted Yin Fukang as he stared at Zhong Yue angrily, only to feel his energy drained away seconds later, “Whatever, this old dog here had married lots of wives throughout his life so he has no rights to scold you. But I am after all, a clan master and I am doing this for the sake of my race’s bloodline, to pass down the best quality of we Yinkang Clan’s bloodline. You….”

To his dismay, Zhong Yue rebutted, “But I am also a clan master and the only male in my clan!”

Yin Fukang gave him an angry glance and shook his hands, “Then what do you want now? Help you to speak of a few words in front of Fanxuan? Hell no, your matter, you solve it! Fanxuan will kill you before Mu Xiantian, good luck!”

Zhong Yue immediately felt sad and disappointed for his motive was to have the father to comfort the daughter but the old fox had seen through his dirty tricks and rejected him cleanly.

But if the dowry from Jinwu Clan arrives and if I only tell Fanxuan when everything could no longer be hidden, she will not be happy and things would be very bad.

Zhong Yue hesitated and after a moment, he bit his teeth strongly as he decided to confess with Yin Fanxuan, who was stunned by this news for a second.

Yin Fanxuan then smiled, “This is great. With the Jinwu Clan’s help, darling you are much more stronger. Besides, with you being the only male of your clan, if I jealously stopped you from marrying more ladies to give birth to more Fuxi, I will not forgive myself.”

Seeing no sign of pretending, Zhong Yue was surprised deep down but he still smiled, “Good, I am not a pervert that only marries beautiful girls. There is no love between me and Jin Hexi.”

“Jin Hexi?”

Yin Fanxuan asked, “Darling, you already know who is going to be married to you?”

Zhong Yue coughed vigorously and he shifted the topic, “The dowry of Jinwu Clan will arrive in about three to four years….”

Suddenly, a general came reporting, “My lord, there’s a convoy out there saying that they are the emissaries from Jinwu Clan! Among them, there is a goddess that claims she is your wife!”

With a seemingly faked smile, Yin Fanxuan smiled and said, “What a coincidence… This Sister Hexi is already introducing herself as your wife, why don’t you go and give her a warm welcome? After that, let me take a look at this… wife of yours?”

Zhong Yue laughed awkwardly and he was confused,?Didn’t Celestial Monarch Jin Wu say that he would only send the dowry? Why is Jin Hexi here? Besides, aren’t they a little bit too quick!
