With the arrival of Daoist Tianxuan and others, as well as the powerful figures from the aristocratic families in the royal city, figures appeared one after another throughout the capital, and countless eyes were fixed on the void.
Inside the palace, a guard entered the main hall with a solemn expression. At that moment, the hall was filled with singing and dancing.
"Your Majesty, Chen Hao is leading countless powerful warriors toward the palace, and many powerful members of aristocratic families have joined him. Please give your instructions, Your Majesty."
Zhu Wanyi, who was surrounded by beauties on both sides, heard the guard's words and his face turned extremely ugly. He was furious to the extreme. In that instant, he twisted the throats of the two beauties in his arms and threw them onto the main hall.
Zhu Wanyi's face turned extremely gloomy in that instant.
"You're courting death! A bunch of ingrates! I've already forgiven them these past few days, but I never expected they would dare to rebel."
"It seems that after killing Chen Hao, all the powerful families in the capital will need to be purged; otherwise, I will not have peace of mind!"
"That's fine too!" Zhu Wanyi suddenly smiled at that moment.
"I've searched high and low without finding it, but it's right here without any effort. It seems the forces behind Chen Hao think they can turn the tide just because the Dark Moon Cult Sect's experts aren't very strong. I'll see just how desperate they'll be today."
"The elders of the Dark Moon Cult have broken through to the Great Sage realm. In this Southern Wasteland Wilderness, the Saint Realm is the heavens. I don't believe they can break through the heavens today."
"That's fine too. It'll solve the problem once and for all. Once all these people are killed, the entire Canglun Kingdom Canglun Kingdom be completely in my hands, and I'll have 100% control over it. Then, with the help of the Dark Moon Cult, I'll annex the surrounding kingdoms and make Canglun a dynasty."
"Ha ha ha ha!"
" Chen Hao, Chen Hao, you're far too young! I never expected you to be so impatient!"
"But it's fine too. If you weren't so young and impatient, how would I have had the chance to kill you? If you had grown up, you would have been a problem. Although you can't cause any real trouble, it's better to get rid of you as soon as possible."
"Everyone, come with me immediately to see the elder of the Dark Moon Cult. There is a Great Sage among them; we are not in any danger today."
The ministers, who had been filled with panic, were now filled with shock and elation upon hearing Zhu Wanyi's words and learning that an elder of the Dark Moon Cult resided in the palace and had even broken through to the Great Sage realm.
As Zhu Wanyi said, in this Southern Heaven Land, the Saint Realm is the heaven itself. They do not believe that there is Great Sage level being behind Chen Hao. If there really were, they would not have waited until now to make a move. Therefore, at this moment, they are completely indifferent to this danger.
"Your Majesty, I congratulate you! Congratulations! Today, not only have we been able to eliminate Chen Hao with the help of the Dark Moon Cult, but we have also been able to eliminate the forces behind Chen Hao once and for all. From now on, Canglun will truly share the same surname as Your Majesty."
"Your Majesty, given this matter of establishing the dynasty, I suggest we hold a banquet outside the palace. Today, we will use the blood of Chen Hao and others to offer sacrifices to Heaven and inform the world."
We second that proposal!
In that instant, all the civil and military officials in the hall showed a hint of excitement on their faces, as if they had already killed Chen Hao and taken control of the world.
Zhu Wanyi, who had been furious and excited, became even more excited upon hearing the words of the civil and military officials. He waved his hand and exclaimed, "Granted!"
"Immediately arrange for the royal chefs; I intend to hold a grand banquet outside the palace."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The eunuchs standing nearby hurriedly retreated to prepare.
Zhu Wanyi led his civil and military officials to the secluded retreat of the Dark Moon Cult elders.
Inside the main hall where the Dark Moon Cult elders were in seclusion, powerful figures from the Dark Moon Cult had gathered. However, the place was very quiet, with figures standing in the hall, waiting for the Dark Moon Cult's Grand Elder to finish his cultivation.
The Dark Moon Cult elder slowly exhaled and opened his eyes.
What happened?
The elders of the Dark Moon Cult frowned and asked when they saw all the powerful members of the Dark Moon Cult gathered in the main hall.
"Reporting to the elder, all the disciples we sent out have perished. The Heavenly Gate behind Chen Hao is heading directly towards the palace today; their intentions are hostile!"
Compared to those in the royal palace, the powerful figures of the Dark Moon Cult were far more composed and did not take Daoist Tianxuan and his group seriously at all.
In their eyes, these people couldn't cause any trouble, but for something this serious to happen, the elders had to give the order.
"Oh!"
"Are you here?"
"This really surprised me, but it was also expected. After all, those people think that killing a true disciple of Half-Step Great Sage means they have the true power of the Dark Moon Cult. Now, they are all eager to show their arms."
"But these people are so stupid. Wouldn't it be better to just be a bunch of turtles?"
"They insist on coming to their deaths, but since they've come to die, then this elder must grant their wish. Otherwise, wouldn't the world laugh at the incompetence of my Dark Moon Cult?"
The Dark Moon Cult elder's face instantly revealed a look of disdain.
The words had barely faded when a man entered the main hall, saying respectfully, "Elder, Zhu Wanyi has arrived. Shall we let him in?"
Upon hearing his disciple's words, the Dark Moon Cult elder revealed a disdainful expression and said indifferently, "Since Zhu Wanyi has arrived, it seems the other party is afraid. This elder will go out and meet him!"
The next moment, the figure of the Dark Moon Cult's Grand Elder disappeared, and outside the palace, Zhu Wanyi arrived with civil and military officials, their faces filled with excitement.
The elders of the Dark Moon Cult, still shrouded in black robes, smiled upon seeing Zhu Wanyi and the civil and military officials arrive. "My king has come in haste, is it for the matter of Chen Hao and the others?"
Upon seeing that the Dark Moon Cult elder had emerged from seclusion, Zhu Wanyi's face lit up with excitement. He smiled and said, "Elder, you are indeed a prophet! I have come here today precisely because of this matter. The Heavenly Gate dares to protect Chen Hao and Wuji attack the capital. It seems they possess considerable strength and disregard the Dark Moon Cult. My strength is meager, and I must ask for your protection, Elder."
At that moment, Zhu Wanyi had a smile on his face.
"I, the King, have nothing to worry about. They are nothing but a bunch of ants. As long as I, this elder, am here, I can wipe them out with a wave of my hand."
Upon breaking through to the Saint Realm, Elder Dark Moon's face revealed a confident expression, completely disregarding Daoist Tianxuan and the others.
Upon hearing the Dark Moon Cult elder's words, Zhu Wanyi smiled. "Haha, I knew with the elder here, there was nothing to worry about. Elder, I have already instructed the royal chefs to prepare a banquet. We will eat and drink outside the palace and wait for their arrival."
Upon hearing this, the Grand Elder of the Dark Moon Cult smiled faintly and said, "My king's idea is good. A bunch of ants are indeed not worthy of our great mobilization. We will wait for them outside the palace to come and die."
The next moment, everyone burst into laughter and headed out of the palace.
Soon, a banquet was set up outside the palace.
Zhu Wanyi sat with the elders of the Dark Moon Cult, and instantly, the place was filled with singing and dancing.
In the void, before Daoist Tianxuan and the others even arrived, they sensed the peaceful revelry outside the palace, and Chen Hao's face revealed a hint of anger.
"Arrogant!"
"These people are truly arrogant, daring to disregard us. Today, we will teach them a lesson: even a lion must go all out to hunt a rabbit."
Seeing the anger on Chen Hao's face, Daoist Tianxuan chuckled and patted Chen Hao's shoulder, "No need to worry. It seems the other side is quite confident. It's very likely that the Dark Moon Cult has an even more powerful presence here. But there's no need to fret; the sect leader will make a move today."
"Let this group of people who are about to die have a farewell meal, so they won't starve to death on the way."
Daoist Tianxuan Daoist Tianxuan calmly, but in that instant, when his gaze fell upon the Dark Moon Cult before the palace, a cold killing intent flashed in his eyes.
The Giant Emperor was furious. He had once been a ruler, but now he was being ignored like this. He was very angry. In the next moment, the Giant Emperor rushed out and threw a punch at the outside of the palace.
At this moment, the Giant Emperor had already stepped into the Dao Lord level. The instant this punch was unleashed, the powerful figures from the aristocratic families following behind him all showed expressions of shock, feeling the extremely terrifying aura emanating from the Giant Emperor.
The Dark Moon Cult elder, who was drinking, saw the divine power descending from the sky. His eyes remained unmoved. He knew very well that the Dark Moon Cult's experts had naturally perished, and there must be Dao Lord level expert in the Heavenly Gate.
At that moment, Zhu Wanyi remained calm.
One of the Dark Moon Cult disciples strode forward, unleashing an incredibly powerful divine ability that instantly neutralized the Giant Emperor's terrifying attack.
Zhu Wanyi slowly raised his head, his disdainful gaze sweeping over Daoist Tianxuan and the others in the void.
"How utterly ignorant!"
"You don't think you can wipe us out with this little strength, do you?"
"Moreover, you traitors and rebels, not long ago you were kneeling before me, calling yourselves subjects, yet you have rebelled so quickly. Do you really think Chen Hao can kill me?"
"That guy who made the move earlier was quite strong, indeed at the Dao Lord level, but do you think you can defeat him today?"
"I might as well tell you, the esteemed person beside me is an elder of the Dark Moon Cult, possessing the cultivation of the Saint Realm."
Following behind Chen Hao and the others, the powerful figures who had initially been excited turned deathly pale upon hearing Zhu Wanyi's words.
" The Saint Realm?"
The powerful figures from those aristocratic families trembled uncontrollably at that moment. In their eyes, the Great Sage level was like the heavens, inviolable and invincible.
These powerful figures from aristocratic families were originally a motley crew, a bunch of opportunists. Upon hearing that the Dark Moon Cult elder beside Zhu Wanyi possessed the cultivation level of the Saint Realm, they all fled in an instant.
In just a moment, Chen Hao and his group, who had been surrounded by countless powerful figures, were left all alone.
At this moment, Chen Hao's face remained expressionless. Even though those people had escaped, it didn't affect Chen Hao at all. After all, Chen Hao already knew these people. Once they knew that the Dark Moon Cult had powerful figures, they wouldn't hesitate to either flee or attack them instantly.
" Zhu Wanyi, you didn't expect this prince to return like this, did you!"
I will personally take your life today!
"And you traitors and rebels! I, the prince, will show you no mercy! How dare you join this villain Zhu Wanyi in rebellion! I will not be satisfied until your entire clan is slaughtered!"
In that instant, Chen Hao was filled with immense anger; all the rage he had been suppressing inside him erupted.
However, upon hearing Chen Hao's words, the people before him revealed a mocking smile. The civil and military officials completely disregarded everyone from the Tianming Sect. One of them, seemingly Wuji, scoffed, " Chen Hao, the throne has always been awarded to the capable. Your Chen Clan's fate is sealed; wouldn't it be better to abdicate?"
"I never expected that instead of my king personally eliminating you, you would deliver yourself to my doorstep. My king is merciful, yet you seek to kill him. So, all of you will remain here today!"
"Of course, if you want to kill us, then come on, but we'll see if you're even qualified to stand before our people."
"A bunch of good-for-nothings, actually trying to defy the heavens? That's hilarious!"
As soon as the man finished speaking, the civil and military officials burst into laughter.
In that instant, the Dark Moon Cult elder downed the wine in his cup, slowly raised his head, and swept his cold gaze across everyone in the Central Heaven the void.
A mocking smile appeared on his lips, and an incomparably powerful aura locked onto the void in an instant. "I didn't expect you idiots to come here to die. Then this elder will grant your wish."
"Furthermore, today Elder Ben will let the world know what price will be paid for those who disobey the Dark Moon Cult Dark Moon Cult and kill its disciples."
"However, I will give you a chance now. If any of you can stand before me, I will spare your Undying."
In that instant, the elders of the Dark Moon Cult became incredibly arrogant.
Upon hearing the Dark Moon Cult elder's words, Daoist Tianxuan's expression changed slightly. Sensing the powerful aura locking onto the void, Daoist Tianxuan knew very well that the Dark Moon Cult elder before him was someone he could not possibly deal with.
The Saint Realm was too terrifying. Without any hesitation, Daoist Tianxuan instantly channeled a stream of spiritual power into the longsword in his hand, which was Su Xiuyi's divine weapon.
As soon as the Dark Moon Cult elder finished speaking, he unleashed an incredibly terrifying divine power. A colossal hand appeared in the void, blotting out the sky. This hand seemed to be the hand of Gods and Devils or demon, and all the light in the sky seemed to vanish. The hand appeared capable of crushing stars in an instant as it reached out to grab them.
The powerful figures from the aristocratic families in the capital trembled uncontrollably at that moment, beads of sweat appearing on their foreheads. They were completely terrified by the Dark Moon Cult elder's supernatural power.
