The Holy Maiden Uncovers My Coffin When I Just Become An Emperor's Corpse-Chapter 168: The Divine Tablet Shatters!
Chapter 168: Chapter 168: The Divine Tablet Shatters!
The Wentian Daoist School was bustling both inside and out.
Mortals were jumping around, eager to catch a glimpse of what was happening.
Cultivators hovered in the air or climbed trees and walls to observe the scene.
"The Eldest Prince has arrived!"
A group of guards pushed through the crowd, escorting three figures into the Wentian Daoist School.
One of them was a young man with short facial hair, dressed in a golden robe.
He was the first son of the Primordial Emperor, the Eldest Prince Tang Lin!
Behind him were his followers.
As they entered, he approached the Third Prince Tang Ning and the Fifth Prince Tang Feng.
"Brother, you’ve arrived!" the Third Prince Tang Ning shouted.
The Fifth Prince Tang Feng and the Eleventh Prince also turned their heads, bowing slightly as a greeting.
"I have arrived," Tang Lin said calmly, "I heard your mothers have all gone to the court?"
Tang Ning nodded.
"Yes, Brother, he absolutely must not be left alive!"
Tang Lin smiled.
"I know, that’s why I had our mother go as well.
Now, we are all in the same boat," he said ominously.
Instantly, Tang Ning and Tang Feng relaxed.
"Brother is right."
The four of them stood together with a shared intention.
"I wonder if Father will agree?" Tang Ning expressed his concern.
Tang Lin crossed his hands behind his back.
"Don’t worry, Father despises those he dislikes.
This time, he will definitely decree his death!"
He made no attempt to hide his intentions!
A bearded vice dean not far away overheard their conversation.
"The Emperor is going to take action against him? It’s over!
The dean is not here, this is trouble." He worried internally.
"I can’t protect him on my own!"
He was extremely anxious inside!
Outside the crowd, two figures hid in a tree.
Both of them wore purple robes and stood proudly.
The two were princesses of the Holy Light Dynasty, in search of the genius with the Domineering the World Phenomenon.
"Sister, is his talent really so high?" one pure-hearted girl asked.
She looked at the figure in front of the Zuowang Divine Stele with confusion.
"A hundred Zuowang Divine Steles, to this day, no one has fully comprehended them.
This alone proves their mystery.
Now he is about to comprehend a hundred of them, possessing the legendary Supreme Dao Physique. You tell me, is his talent high or not?" the young woman asked back.
The pure-hearted girl thought for a moment.
"It does seem quite high!"
She then leaned in.
"Compared to the brother-in-law we’re looking for, the one with the Domineering the World Phenomenon, whose talent is higher?" she whispered.
The young woman’s face turned red.
"Of course, the genius with the Domineering the World Phenomenon’s talent is a bit higher," she replied.
"Is it? How so?" the girl asked, puzzled.
The young woman huffed lightly.
"He is my fiancé, so he must be higher!"
"Hehe, sister, I heard several dynasties and sects want to marry their princesses and saintesses to him.
How can you be sure he’s your fiancé?" the girl continued to ask.
The young woman tapped the girl’s head.
"None of your business!"
The pure-hearted girl rubbed her head.
"Hmph, sister always bullies me.
Then I’ll find you an unmatched genius as a brother-in-law, let’s see if you dare bully me again.
He seems to be quite the genius, just fine!"
Thinking of this,
"Sister, I want to marry him!
Can you help me?" the pure-hearted girl pointed at Yang Yan.
The young woman thought for a moment.
"In your dreams!"
"Sister, if you don’t help me, you’re not my real sister, and I’ll go find my real sister!"
Seeing that the girl was about to cry, the young woman quickly changed her tone.
"Alright, alright, I’ll help you.
But he needs to make it out of the Imperial City first. I feel like he’s in a bad situation right now!"
"What’s so bad?"
"Someone wants to kill him!"
Suddenly, there was a commotion outside the crowd.
"Everyone move aside, by order of His Majesty.
The Eighth Prince and the Emperor of the Tianquan Dynasty have deceived the Emperor and ignored Saint Intent.
Hence, the Imperial Army is commanded to execute the Eighth Prince and the Emperor of the Tianquan Dynasty!
Anyone who obstructs will face the same punishment, death!" a heavy voice resounded.
Faces changed, and everyone quickly made way.
"It’s the Imperial Army, what’s going on? Why does His Majesty suddenly want to kill someone?"
"Such a genius, if utilized, he could be a trump card for our Emperor Dynasty, why kill him?"
"Hurry, move aside, don’t get us involved!"
Although some were skeptical and confused internally, they all feared being implicated and cleared the path.
Even many extraordinary cultivators dared not get involved.
The Eldest Prince Tang Lin, the Third Prince Tang Ning, the Fifth Prince Tang Feng, and the Eleventh Prince turned their heads upon hearing the voices.
Upon understanding the Imperial Army Commander’s words, each of them smiled.
"Mother succeeded!" they said in unison.
The Imperial Army Commander led his troops through the crowd, approaching Yang Yan.
He saluted Tang Lin, Tang Ning, and the others.
"Greetings, Princes!" he said, bowing.
Tang Lin raised his hand slightly.
"Rise."
"Yes."
A bearded vice dean approached.
"Commander Zhou, why has the Emperor decreed the death of the Eighth Prince and him?" he inquired.
Commander Zhou shook his head.
"I only know of their deception and disregard for Saint Intent. The other details, I do not know."
"He is a disciple of the Wentian Daoist School; this matter should wait until the dean returns," the bearded vice dean stated.
Commander Zhou’s gaze hardened.
"Vice Dean, that statement must not be repeated.
Saying so means you’re blocking my attempt to execute him.
If I make an issue of it, I will act according to the Emperor’s decree.
Anyone obstructing will face no mercy, death!"
A forceful aura surrounded him, creating a gust of wind.
His killing intent solidified, as if tangible.
"I understand!" the bearded vice dean retreated powerlessly. "I can’t protect him!"
Tang Lin, Tang Ning, Tang Feng saw the vice dean retreat.
Exchanging glances, they shared a sense of triumph.
"An unmatched genius is about to die!" Tang Ning said mockingly.
"A dead genius is no genius, just a mound of dirt!" Tang Lin added.
Rumble!
Just then, the ninety-ninth Zuowang Divine Stele moved aside, and the hundredth Zuowang Divine Stele came before Yang Yan.
"The last one, Commander Zhou, prepare to take action!" Tang Feng said, fanning himself.
Commander Zhou raised his hand.
"Prepare!"
Each armored Imperial Army pointed their spearheads at Yang Yan.
They were waiting for the Zuowang Divine Stele’s protection to vanish!
"God Slaying Spear Array, activate!"
The armored Imperial Army soldiers exuded Profound Qi, connecting them into one.
Rumble!
The hundredth Zuowang Divine Stele moved aside, leaving no stele before Yang Yan.
"Kill!" Commander Zhou shouted.
At that moment, the armored Imperial Army soldiers all attacked at once.
Spears aimed at Yang Yan, the intertwined Profound Qi forming a massive spear shadow aimed at his back.
Bam!
As it neared Yang Yan, the spear shadow seemed to collide with an invisible wall.
A ripple spread out, and the spear shadow shattered instantly.
Thousands of Imperial Army spears broke, and they coughed blood as they flew backwards.
The faces of all present changed.
"How does he still have protection!" Commander Zhou asked the bearded vice dean with a sullen face.
"It must be the secret of the Zuowang Divine Stele!" the vice dean said solemnly.
As his words fell, a hundred Zuowang Divine Stele shattered in the air.
Immediately, gigantic stone tablet shadows descended from the sky, suppressing around Yang Yan!
