C910 The Decree of the Heavenly Court
C910 The Decree of the Heavenly Court
It was as fierce as a tsunami, causing the entire Tian Luo Prefecture to boil. All the small and large sects were at a complete loss when they received the news, as if they had been struck by lightning.
The gates of the estate. The first branch of the Celestial Palace.
With Ma Jiuliang and a few other experts of long habitat guarding them, their power was only weaker than the Seven Profound Peaks, Xuanyuan Sect, Sword Sect and a few other first-rate sects.
Never would he have thought that the door that was as strong as a mansion would be the same as the one in the West City Lord's Mansion. In less than three days' time, they had nearly suffered a devastating blow.
After that, there was even news that one of the many Heavenly Palace experts who had died within the Palace, was actually the Young Master of the Heavenly Palace, Pu Xiuluo.
Once this news was released, it once again shocked everyone in Tian Luo Prefecture.
All the large sects and powers were in an uproar, everyone was extremely shocked by Han Chen, and continuously levelled up.
Was this child really a normal Seven Profound Peaks disciple?
To think that it had reached such a level of 'terror'.
Sky Mansion, in the Procedural Hall.
The atmosphere in the hall was as oppressive as if it was dead. The higher ups of the Sky Heaven Palace stood on both sides of the hall, their heads lowered in silence.
In the middle of the Main Palace, an ice-cold corpse was placed in front of the person in charge, Pu Xinghe.
It was Pu Xiuluo's corpse, the blood stains all over his body had solidified, the pale white face, eyes wide open, died with grievance.
Pu Xinghe stared at Pu Xiuluo's corpse without moving, those deep and cold eyes were already filled with boundless killing intent.
Pu Xiuluo's death had ruthlessly slapped Pu Xinghe across the face, and ruthlessly slapped the Sky Hall in the face.
Centuries, or even millennia.
Ever since the Heavenly Palace took control of the Tian Luo Prefecture, they had never suffered such humiliation.
From the Heavenly Court Congress onwards, this colossus that had lived in the Tian Luo Prefecture for countless of years had been provoked again and again, and her dignity had been angered again and again.
"Rumble!"
Abruptly, a surging cold killing intent erupted from Pu Xinghe's body, followed by the furious roar of the person in power.
"Why haven't we caught him yet? What are you all doing? It's been so long, and I can't even catch this little bastard, what's the use of all these useless things I want from you? "
Pu Xinghe was angry, he was used to all kinds of big occasions, and it was already difficult to excite him.
But this time, the lofty king was thoroughly enraged.
The vast and mighty momentum was like a tidal wave that struck the higher ups of the Sky Palace on both sides of the great hall. Everyone felt their Qi and blood surging, their hearts racing, and even the few people closest to Pu Xinghe had faint traces of blood trickling out of their mouths.
"Prefecture Lord, please be angry!" A fairly powerful elder walked to the center while trembling. He cupped his hands and said in a low voice, "Palace Chief, Elder Pu Kong had already arrived at Elephant City yesterday, I believe he would be able to take down Han Chen the little thief very soon."
"Hmph, it's not enough. It's still far from enough to just let Han Chen's little thief die."
Pu Xinghe's face turned dark, he waved his sleeves and bellowed: "I will make Han Chen's little thief lose his reputation, standing alone without any help, die under the hundreds of thousands of scolding voices."
"Martial House Master, what do you mean?"
"That's right, immediately issue the Heavenly Palace's order, make all the sects and powers in Tian Luo Prefecture chase after Han Chen immediately, the crime of being pursued and killed is' Derro Prefecture's traitor ', in addition!"
Pu Xinghe's voice paused, a cold glint flashed past his ice-cold eyes. "Announce another bounty order, whoever takes Han Chen's head will be conferred the title of Heavenly Palace's guest elder, be rewarded with a city and land, be bestowed with a top-grade saint artifact, and will be granted a divine rank martial skill!"
"Hiss!"
When these words were spoken, everyone in the hall sucked in a breath of cold air.
Han Chen's life was actually so valuable.
From the looks of it, Pu Xinghe was extremely determined to kill Han Chen.
"Palace Chief, to have the various large sects chase Han Chen, what about the Derro Prefecture s?" A Senior Elder asked.
"As for Bei Mingcang, I will handle it myself. You can go down immediately and issue an imperial edict! "
"Yes, Manorlord."
All the Senior Elder s left the great hall with restless yet cautious emotions. Pu Xinghe's anger would sweep across the entire Tian Luo Prefecture like a prairie fire, and no matter where Han Chen escaped to, he would not be able to stop Pu Xinghe's fury.
In the blink of an eye, only Pu Xinghe and the cold corpse on the ground remained in the hall.
"I shouldn't have allowed you to carry out this mission. You have truly disappointed me." A pain quietly flashed past Pu Xinghe's eyes, but that trace of pain was quickly replaced by indifference.
Perhaps, in Pu Xinghe's eyes, Pu Xiuluo's status was biased towards subordinates.
"But it doesn't matter." The corner of Pu Xinghe's mouth raised into a cold and fierce smile, his lips slightly moved, and he muttered to himself, "Perhaps you can become a true Asura."
And just as Pu Xinghe's words fell, a strand of scarlet, bloody light flashed across Pu Xiuluo's soulless eyes that were on the ground.
"Boom!"
After the inheritance palace gate was destroyed, the even more berserk 'Hurricane Rain' attacked Tian Luo Prefecture who was already restless.
The Heavenly Court issued two consecutive edicts.
All the major sects, sects, gangs, clans and many other forces had to complete this mission with all their might as they chased after the "traitor" Han Chen.
The second order was an order for a bounty to be placed on Han Chen. No matter who it was, if they could take Han Chen's head, they would be conferred with the title of Heavenly Palace's guest elder, bestowed with a top grade saint artifact and a Divine Ranked Martial Technique.
Compared to that, the second order was extremely shocking.
Firstly, let alone the Tian Luo Prefecture, even in the entire Dongxuan, it was still a treasure that would cause countless people to want to fight over.
And basically, in the Tian Luo Prefecture, there was no one who did not want to form a relationship with the Heavenly Palace. The guest elder of the Heavenly Abode was the position that countless people yearned for even in their dreams.
Once one became a guest elder of the Heavenly Palace, even if it was the sect master of a first-rate sect, Sect Master and the others, they would not need to be treated with respect.
In other words, as long as they could take down Han Chen, they would have both power and wealth.
This was definitely the first time that the Heavenly Mansion had given out such an attractive bounty. This reward not only stimulated the enthusiasm of the various sects for chasing Han Chen, but also brought together some bounty hunters and random people from different sects in Derro Prefecture.
Amongst those unaffiliated and idle people, there was no lack of people with superb strength.
This kind of people were mixed in a mix of good and bad.
Some of them didn't want to be bound by the rules of the great sects and traveled in all directions.
Some of them were fugitives who had offended the fugitives who had fled outside.
There were also those who were born unfair and did not have the opportunity to join the large sects.
Some of these people sought fame while others sought profit. However, due to various reasons, he was unable to show his face.
When the decree of the Heavenly Palace was issued, it directly caused countless people to pursue success and seek benefits. The crowd of people who thirsted for power saw the full bowl of 'hope'. As a result, the sects that had originally planned to watch on from the sidelines, and 'Han Chen and the Heavenly Palace's fight', began to have random people rush forward to join the group that was chasing after Han Chen.
In a short period of time, the Tian Luo Prefecture surged with dark waves, and all the dark waves started to gather in one direction.
"Master, in front of us is Ling Xiang City. After a thousand Li, it will be the territory of Seven Profound Peaks."
Outside a vast city, over a hundred guards of the mansion were standing behind a man in black robes with confusion written all over their faces.
The black-robed man was Han Chen. A few days ago, Han Chen had killed Pu Xiuluo and secretly taken away his' Palace Chief's command '.
There was only one reason why Han Chen had done this, and that was to conceal his identity.
This was because no one would suspect that the person being pursued by the Heavenly Palace would be hiding within their team.
It had to be said that Han Chen was indeed very smart.
On the way from Elephant City, they encountered more than twenty groups of search teams from the Heaven's Prefecture. However, when they saw this group of nearly a hundred people, they treated it as if they were their own people. With just a few simple words, they busied themselves with their own affairs.
Some of the search teams only glanced at Han Chen and the others from afar, not even bothering to greet them.
With the protection of the palace guards, Han Chen hid himself within the troops and continued his journey without any obstructions.
Of course, everyone had their suspicions.
From the beginning to the end, this eccentric lord had never taken off his black robe's hat.
The only thing he said the most was to ask about the location of the Seven Profound Peaks.
Even though they suspected it, no one could have imagined that this black-robed man holding the orders of the Palace Master was the person they were searching for no matter how hard they tried.
"Let's go, into the city!" Han Chen, who was under the black robe, suppressed his tone and said.
"Milord." The tall and sturdy commander shouted for Han Chen.
"Why?"
Master, please forgive this subordinate's bluntness, but in the past few days, you did not seem to have seriously searched for Han Chen's whereabouts.
The remaining people from the other residences also revealed puzzled expressions.
"Hey!" Han Chen laughed in ridicule, and pretended to be hoarse, and said, "You idiots, no wonder you can only be a guard for your entire life. Let me tell you, Han Chen is crafty and good at hiding. "Blindly searching, I don't know when or how long I'll find it."
"Please enlighten me, my lord."
"Heh, Han Chen is smart, but he only has one place to go to in the end, and that is the Seven Profound Peaks. Since we can't find him, why not wait for him on the way to Seven Profound Peaks? "
Upon hearing this, the eyes of the guards of the manors lit up as they came to a realization.
"So that's how it is." The guard leader gave a thumbs up and said, "Your excellency, you are truly wise. I am ashamed of myself."
"Master is wise, with our speed, we will definitely be far faster than the escaping speed of little thief Han Chen. When that time comes, we will ambush them halfway down the mountain of Seven Profound Peaks.
Hearing everyone licking their horses, Han Chen secretly laughed under his black robe, and then coughed twice and said: "Alright, let's stop talking, let's continue on our journey."
"Yes, my lord!"
