Seeing that the intimidation had achieved its effect, Diwu Chijin was unwilling to waste any more of his spiritual power.
He pulled a gloomy face and said, word by word, "Listen carefully. I came here this time for no other reason than to seek one person and find one item.
"If you obediently cooperate, we can naturally go our separate ways in peace.
"But if you refuse to cooperate, or even dare to obstruct me..."
At this point, Diwu Chijin suddenly raised his right hand and lightly flicked his index finger—"Whoosh!"
A thread of orange-red light shot from his fingertip.
Then, with a "splat," it pierced the brow of Sword Ancestor Eunuch, whose eyes remained wide in death!
"This man shall serve as a warning!"
After speaking, Diwu Chijin withdrew his finger.
His orange-gold gaze fell upon Yan Qinyu's face once more, while that faint, chilling half-smile still hung at the corners of his lips.
For a moment, the breathing of every civil and military official in the court caught.
The strings of beads before Yan Qinyu's crown swayed violently twice.
Well then, Diwu Chijin was slapping the face of him, the ruler of Great Yan, before the entire court!
In the past, even if several Innate Realm assassins had stormed into the imperial palace at once, Yan Qinyu would have flown into a rage and employed the "human wave tactic" to crush these vile enemies who had trespassed into the palace!
After all, the advantage of fighting on home ground was considerable—the imperial palace had formations, Imperial Guards, and countless hidden mechanisms and secret passages!
And with him, the ruler at the Peak Fourth Layer of the Innate Realm, personally holding the fort...
Even if they wore them down slowly, they could grind several Innate Realm Grandmasters to death!
