Chapter 806: Chapter 806: The Wrath of the Sacred Emperor

"Sacred Emperor, what do you think?"

Ling Xiao didn’t directly attack; he still wanted to show some respect to the Sacred Emperor, so he tossed this hot potato to him.

"Alas, it’s my fault for spoiling Hua Yu too much. He has repeatedly offended Young Master Ling, which is indeed wrong, but it’s not a crime deserving death. I still hope Young Master Ling could show mercy."

The Sacred Emperor heaved a sigh.

It seemed that he planned to shield Hua Yu today.

"What if I say this wine is poisoned? And that the poisoner is none other than Hua Yu, do you still believe his crime isn’t deserving of death?"

Ling Xiao picked up the cup of wine he hadn’t drunk and said coldly.

"Summon the Marvellous Hand Heavenly Lord!"

The Sacred Emperor frowned slightly and called for the Imperial Physician, Marvellous Hand Heavenly Lord, to test the cup of wine.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, this wine is indeed poisoned. Although it won’t kill a person, it can completely dissipate a martial artist’s cultivation. It’s truly malevolent,"

The Marvellous Hand Heavenly Lord, unaware of what had transpired, naturally spoke the truth.

"Sacred Emperor, did you hear that?"

Ling Xiao asked.

"Just because there’s poison in the wine doesn’t prove I was the one who poisoned it,"

Hua Yu cried out in haste.

Ling Xiao sneered and said, "I believe the Sacred Emperor has a thousand and ten thousand ways to make a person tell the truth."

The Sacred Emperor’s brows furrowed again and after a long while, he sighed and said, "It’s wrong for Hua Yu to poison the wine. I will thoroughly investigate this matter and give you a satisfactory response."

In the end, the Sacred Emperor still protected Hua Yu.

Actually, it was quite normal. Perhaps Hua Yu poisoned the wine with the Sacred Emperor’s knowledge and did not stop him after all.

"Thoroughly investigate? I think that’s a bit too troublesome!"

While speaking, Ling Xiao suddenly stepped forward, his speed so astonishing that all the present witnesses were shocked.

Hua Yu was truly frightened; he never expected Ling Xiao to dare to make a move against him in front of the Sacred Emperor.

"Rascal, stop right now!"

The Sacred Emperor finally showed his true colors, launching a palm strike towards Ling Xiao with the might of thunder.

After all, he was a Yin Yang Realm Martial Artist. Although his strength was not as great as the Moon Lady’s, killing Ling Xiao was as easy as killing a rabbit.

"To think the mighty Sacred Emperor not only favors the guilty but shamelessly attacks a junior; I see you truly have become completely muddle-headed. No wonder the Sacred Dynasty’s fortunes are dwindling by the day!"

At that moment, an even more formidable power blocked the Sacred Emperor’s palm strike, blowing him back into his seat.

Even the dragon throne instantly crumbled.

"I’ll leave you with your dog’s life but cripple your cultivation!"

Ling Xiao had already figured out how to escape when the Sacred Emperor made his move, but the Moon Lady intervened so swiftly that he abandoned the idea of running and continued his assault, landing a palm strike on Hua Yu’s body.

He didn’t kill Hua Yu; after all, Hua Yu was just one of the Sacred Emperor’s forbidden conservatory, it was enough to cripple his cultivation.

The palm force raged within Hua Yu’s body, and he could clearly feel his cultivation draining away rapidly.

"You! You’ve crippled me!"

Hua Yu’s face turned ashen, his body trembling uncontrollably.

To become the Sacred Emperor’s forbidden conservatory, one needed cultivation; how could the Sacred Emperor, with his special tastes, possibly want a favorite without cultivation?

Once his cultivation was gone, he would lose his status in front of the Sacred Emperor completely.

"Damn you, I, Hua Yu, will kill you for sure! Kill you! You slave! Dog slave! I not only want to kill you, but I also want to exterminate your entire clan and slaughter your Moon Hua Sect!"

Hua Yu began to howl madly, like a rabid dog.

Originally holding back, Ling Xiao’s face darkened with a thick killing intent upon hearing these words, "I had thought to spare your life, but now it seems you really don’t want to live!"

Those cold and grim words made Hua Yu tremble violently as he saw the Qi Sword forming in Ling Xiao’s hand; he turned deathly pale in fright.

He regretted, regretted why he had to utter such harsh words.

Although they were his true feelings, and he really thought so, why did he have to say them out loud?

Had he not spoken, things wouldn’t have come to this.

Puchi!

A resonant noise echoed in the grand hall of the Imperial Palace, Hua Yu’s head had already been severed.

This time, Ling Xiao did not hesitate in the slightest.

He couldn’t possibly keep someone around who was constantly thinking about how to kill him, how to deal with him.

Besides, this Hua Yu also had significant influence within the Sacred Dynasty, really letting him set his sights on Ling Xiao would be extremely troublesome.

The fierce Qi Sword completely shattered Hua Yu’s not yet fully formed Heavenly Pulse.

"Ah—!"

A piercing scream emerged from Hua Yu’s mouth.

Hearing this sound, everyone present couldn’t help but shiver.

It was not because of Ling Xiao’s strength, but because this madman Ling Xiao truly acted on his word, completely unrestrained.

Even the Sacred Emperor’s men were executed on a whim; such a madman was someone nobody wanted to provoke.

For such a person had no scruples to speak of.

The soft fear the hard, the hard fear the reckless, the reckless fear the madman!

Good people are bullied, good horses are ridden.

Kind souls are always humiliated by these self-righteous strong men, but once these strong men encounter someone even crueler than themselves, they too feel fear, they too are wary.

After killing Hua Yu, Ling Xiao turned to look at the Sacred Emperor.

At this moment, the Sacred Emperor’s face was a shade of ashen blue.

He, a proud Sacred Emperor, was actually humiliated in front of so many people. How could he endure such disgrace?

"Sacred Emperor, dignity is something one must fight for oneself. Respect me an inch, and I’ll respect you a foot! Or do you think I, Ling Xiao, am so foolish?

Do you think I couldn’t see that the Array Formation in this grand hall of the Imperial Palace was temporarily altered, just to deal with me?

Do you think I would be unaware that Hua Yu’s poisoning involved Si Kong Zui, and that you tacitly allowed it?

Do you think I don’t know that while you feign politeness outwardly, you intentionally speak of betrothing the Holy Son to me, making me a target for all?

As a Sacred Emperor, to be so narrow-minded, it’s simply a disgrace to all the citizens of the Sacred Dynasty!"

He had not been willing to expose these matters, as once they were out in the open, it would mean complete opposition to the Sacred Emperor.

But now, it seemed that no matter how much he tolerated, it was meaningless; if someone wanted to deal with you, they would not give up because of your forbearance.

Instead, they would become even more unbridled.

The Sacred Emperor, looking at Ling Xiao, could only see Ji Fulin standing there, and his heart grew more furious, his face turning an even darker blue.

When Ji Fulin was born, nine cauldrons surrounded him, a sign completely auspicious for an emperor.

When he was born, there were only five cauldrons surrounding him. Although it was more than the average Royal Family principalities, it paled in comparison to Ji Fulin.

During the bloodline test, Ji Fulin awakened more than ninety percent of the King of Humanity Bloodline.

Although he also possessed seventy percent, he was still not as good as Ji Fulin.

The most infuriating thing was that Ji Fulin had been recognized by the Nine Cauldrons and inherited their legacy, obtaining the Nine Cauldrons Martial Spirit.

This was a being second only to the Mountain and River Martial Soul and even surpassed the Nine Great Ancient Dragon Souls.

Because it would take the combination of all Nine Great Dragon Spirits to match up to the Nine Cauldrons Martial Spirit.

He hated Ji Fulin because of envy.

Although Ji Fulin let him have everything, he just wouldn’t give up Yu Xuan Yue to him, which made him hate Ji Fulin even more.

Ling Xiao, looking like Yu Xuan Yue, in his eyes, even if he wasn’t Ji Fulin’s child, that appearance alone deserved to die!
