King of Creation-Chapter 1614 - 1599: Still Not Enough

Outside the ancient teleportation formation of Shahe City, Ye Zhen, who had been waiting for more than half an hour, was getting impatient. He didn’t expect that even after revealing his identity as a Wind Patrol Envoy of the Heavenly Patrol Department, these guys would still drag things out like this.

If it weren’t for this being the territory of the Southern Patrol and Ye Zhen not knowing anyone at the Southern Patrol Office, Ye Zhen would definitely make things difficult for this Tianming Marquis Country.

The people from the Heavenly Patrol Department are not easy to offend.

Because this ancient teleportation formation requires scrutiny of accompanying personnel, Ye Zhen, to avoid trouble, placed Ling Qianbi, Big Ears, and others into the Spirit Beast Bag when he arrived.

Now he regretted it a bit. If he had let Big Ears out, he would at least know how that old eunuch was doing!

Hmm?

While waiting, Ye Zhen’s gaze suddenly lifted upward, as over a hundred Dark Palace Realm Martial Artist auras soared from the sky.

However, this wasn’t unusual, as the South River Marquisate and Tianming Marquis Country were at war, and the presence of large-scale high-level experts coming and going was normal.

The next moment, these hundreds of Dark Palace Realm martial artists suddenly descended vertically while passing over the ancient teleportation formation, vaguely surrounding the entire area around the formation.

Seeing these hundreds of Dark Palace Realm martial artists clearly, Ye Zhen’s gaze flickered. All these martial artists were dressed in the red attire of the Heavenly Temple.

Almost simultaneously, over a thousand Divine Communication Realm Heavenly Temple Spirit Masters surged from all directions, along with thousands of samurais wearing black cloaks, looking fierce, charging from every direction.

This scene instantly stirred panic among the tens of thousands waiting around the ancient teleportation formation, each unsure of what was happening.

Some immediately prepared their spiritual power, intending to fight.

After all, committing atrocities and massacring civilians, these things weren’t uncommon in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

"Under orders to capture South River Kingdom spies, everyone stand still; anyone who moves will be considered an accomplice and killed without exception!"

"Under orders to capture South River Kingdom spies, everyone stand still; anyone who moves will be considered an accomplice and killed without exception!"

"Under orders to capture South River Kingdom spies, everyone stand still; anyone who moves will be considered an accomplice and killed without exception!"

A proclamation resonating with spiritual power roared into everyone’s ears. This announcement caused many martial artist citizens who had activated their spiritual power in preparation to scatter their energies immediately.

With such a massive force of experts in front, whoever doesn’t comply, if seen as an accomplice, is simply courting death!

Ye Zhen also wondered inside whether he was caught coincidentally or if this was aimed at him by the powerful figure behind that old eunuch.

A Wind Patrol Envoy of the Heavenly Patrol Department is not someone to be killed casually. If Ye Zhen indeed died on the territory of the Tianming Marquis Country, they might have to change rulers.

External pressure is a long-standing policy of the Great Zhou.

"Everyone cooperate well; after capturing the spies, the ancient teleportation formation will be fully opened, and you won’t have to suffer queuing anymore, you can leave soon!" A commander-like figure let his cold gaze flash over Ye Zhen, shouting loudly.

With such promises, all the caravans and wealthy citizens allowed the black-cloaked samurais to arrange them into lines for inspection and search.

The reason these caravans and wealthy citizens cooperated like this, besides the martial artist announcement, was mainly due to so many Heavenly Temple Spirit Masters being present.

Heavenly Temple Spirit Masters, while traveling throughout the Great Zhou Empire, are always compassionate, concerned about the suffering of all beings, each claiming to be a servant of the True God, embodying goodness, and not harming them.

Today, as so many Heavenly Temple Spirit Masters are present, by cooperating well, they are safe.

Initially, Ye Zhen also thought this, but suddenly glimpsing down inadvertently, he noticed every black-cloaked samurai standing with a menacing posture ready to strike, behind those being watched, the wealthy merchants and citizen martial arts practitioners. This feeling suddenly gave Ye Zhen a sense.

The black-cloaked samurais seemed to be waiting to execute someone.

At this moment, the leading commander suddenly pulled a plump merchant from the crowd, yelling angrily, "Here’s the spy!"

This motion immediately shifted the attention of over a hundred wealthy, merchants, and citizen martial artists here, causing many initially worried people to feel a subconscious relief.

But at this instant, those black-cloaked samurais standing behind them seemed to receive a signal to act.

The long knives in their hands suddenly spat out several meters of Sword Gang, swiftly raising and slashing across!

Slice! Slice! Slice!

The sound of heads soaring into the sky, the sound of blood arrows spraying, intertwined in an instant.

This movement was tremendously abrupt and startling, with everyone being caught off guard and slain.

Occasionally, a few with vigilant instincts dodged this fatal blow, but the Dark Palace Realm Heavenly Temple Spirit Masters hovering low in the sky effortlessly struck a palm to squash those lucky escapees into meat paste.

In an instant, ten thousand Innate Divine Souls wailed and soared to the sky.

The two Heavenly Temple Divine Masters sitting high above suddenly revealed a meticulously crafted white jade bottle in their hands, "Those who do not offer to Dao Ancestor Divine Lord should die!"

The white jade bottle suddenly shot out countless brilliant rays; those soaring Innate Divine Souls screamed miserably as they were sucked into the jade bottle.

Once absorbed by the jade bottle, not even a scream was left; they transformed into the purest Divine Soul Power.

Those Innate Divine Souls not yet absorbed looked at this tragic scene and cried loudly, "Master, I have offered to the Dao Ancestor; I have offered to the Divine Lord!"

"But you have not sincerely offered!"

"Master, I really have been sincere..."

Before those people could cry again, Governor Yong Kun of the Heavenly Temple Shahe City Branch Temple didn’t even glance at the wailing crowd, with the jade bottle in hand flashing light, he devoured those people’s Innate Divine Souls clean.

"Be more devout in offering to Dao Ancestor Divine Lord in your next life..."

"Someone said that the bald donkeys of your Heavenly Temple are the most hypocritical, today I see, indeed they are extremely hypocritical! You talk about offering in the next life; you’ve scattered their souls, where do they get a next life?" Ye Zhen’s sarcastic laughter suddenly rang out.

Shahe City Governor Yong Kun’s sharp gaze abruptly enveloped Ye Zhen, "Patron, speaking so recklessly, are you inviting disaster?"

"Bald donkey’s hypocrisy!"

"Do you dare to say that today’s whole setup is not aimed at this envoy?" Ye Zhen pointed at Yong Kun’s nose, cursing loudly.

When the Heavenly Temple Spirit Masters and those black-cloaked samurais surged, Ye Zhen initially thought they were genuinely catching spies.

But when they started executing-style slaughter of those innocent wealthy merchants and martial artist citizens without anyone bothering him, Ye Zhen realized that their true target was him!

The Great Zhou and Heavenly Temple have never been of one mind, and if Heavenly Temple dares to blatantly slaughter innocents in front of the Heavenly Patrol Department’s people, such an image wouldn’t take half a month to spread across the world.

In smearing Heavenly Temple’s reputation, the Heavenly Patrol Department has never lagged behind.

Moreover, with over ten thousand people, if this leaks, even Heavenly Temple’s Divine Masters will have major trouble; the Great Zhou’s Ancestor God Temple’s priests are not idle, they are just waiting to catch their weaknesses.

And now, the reason they dare to do this is because they have already considered Ye Zhen as dead!

Dead men tell no secrets, so they kill without restraint.

Yong Kun’s eyes suddenly shot out an incredibly fierce Evil Qi, but after glancing behind, his Killing Qi subsided.

"Laughable, I’m actually quarreling with a dying man...." Shaking his head with self-mockery, Yong Kun ignored Ye Zhen and focused on the Soul-devouring Jade Purifying Bottle in his hand.

"Dying man?"

Ye Zhen’s eyes shifted, looking behind Governor Yong Kun.

Ye Zhen initially thought that being ambushed today might be related to the Heavenly Temple, as he had a significant enmity with the Thunder Hall of the Heavenly Temple.

Although today’s actions were from the Sun and Moon Hall of the Heavenly Temple, assisting the Thunder Hall with a small favor didn’t seem too big of a deal.

But hearing Governor Yong Kun’s words, it seemed that someone else was out to get him, Ye Zhen.

This surprised Ye Zhen greatly. It was the first time he came to the Southern Border of Great Zhou and had no enmity with anyone here. Who on earth would put in so much effort to deal with him?

"It seems the issue probably lies with the master of that old eunuch...."

Almost simultaneously, dozens of beams of formation light rose from the distance, completely surrounding the Ancient Teleportation Formation.

This made Ye Zhen’s brow furrow once more. Such measures were meant to cut off all his escape routes. Who could it be?

Suddenly, Ye Zhen was stunned. In the sky, a young man in black armor was slowly descending surrounded by a large number of experts.

The young man’s cold gaze towards Ye Zhen sent a chill down one’s spine!

"Ming Tang!" In shock, Ye Zhen exclaimed in surprise.

Ming Tang, who was glaring at Ye Zhen with hatred, had a change in expression again, "I didn’t expect, it was really you!"

Ming Tang originally had seventy to eighty percent certainty about this unexpected encounter with Ye Zhen today. After all, coming from the True Profound Continent to the Primordial Continent was very difficult.

But now Ye Zhen’s shout made him a hundred percent certain that the person in front of him was Ye Zhen, who almost caused his downfall on the True Profound Continent.

Almost in an instant, Ye Zhen regained his composure.

"I’ve always known that we would meet again someday, but I didn’t expect it to be this time, and so coincidentally!

However, you seem to have become more resourceful than before. Your tactics today are precise and flawless!"

"First, you stabilize people’s hearts by claiming to capture a spy, then slaughter all the nearby onlookers, and set up various formations to prevent my escape. Only then do you reveal yourself to confront me!

Your tactics have indeed improved since before!" Ye Zhen commented, pointing.

Marquis of Yellow Wind, Ming Tang, smiled arrogantly, "Speaking of which, I have to thank you. Without you, I wouldn’t have worked so hard to achieve such accomplishments!"

"But, to deal with me, your so-called improvement is still not enough!" Ye Zhen retorted arrogantly.

On hearing this, Ming Tang paused momentarily, then burst into laughter as if hearing a highly amusing joke.

"Are you dreaming?"

"Look around you, more than five people in the Realm King Realm, over two hundred in the Dark Palace Realm, and more than seven thousand in the Divine Communication Realm, yet you think they can’t handle you?

Have you been scared senseless, or has your brain turned to mush?"

Amusedly smiling, Ming Tang added, "Of course, if you’re willing to surrender and pledge allegiance to me here and now, I might just ensure you a lifetime of wealth."

Listening to Marquis of Yellow Wind’s confident voice, Ye Zhen sighed longingly once more, "After all these years, you’ve still forgotten one thing!"

"What have I forgotten?" Ming Tang frowned.

"Forgot how pitifully you fled when I nearly killed you back then! You’re still too overconfident! Guys like you only deserve two words!"

"Idiot!"

At these words, Marquis of Yellow Wind, Ming Tang, flew into a rage, "You brat, you’re courting death!"

Finishing the insult, Ming Tang realized it was in vain, for today was indeed the day the brat would die, "Today, I’ll make sure you realize that sometimes, death is the most extravagant thing, and you’ll certainly regret coming into this world!"

"Will I?"

Ye Zhen casually spread his hands, "I think, by the end of the day, the one regretting might be you!"

A hint of surprise flashed in Ming Tang’s eyes. Today, surrounded by so many people, Ye Zhen was strangely calm. Otherwise, Ming Tang wouldn’t have bothered with so much talk.

After scrutinizing the surroundings, he didn’t find any slip-ups, so his gaze swept to Heavenly Temple Shahe City’s Governor Yong Kun, "Get started!"

"I need him alive!" Ming Tang added.

Up in the sky, Heavenly Temple Shahe City’s Branch Temple Governor Yong Kun disdainfully glanced at Ye Zhen and casually pointed at a Grand Spirit Master in the Late-stage Dark Palace Realm below, saying, "Ru Long, seize him alive!"

"At your command!"

The Grand Spirit Master’s figure flickered, then converged with two other Grand Spirit Masters to encircle Ye Zhen, sneering, "Boy, you’d best not resist, lest you suffer physical torment!"

In response, Ye Zhen sighed softly, "I wonder whether to call you all foolish or pity you? Opponents in the Middle Late Dark Palace Realm are the weakest I’ve encountered in terms of cultivation this year!"

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

As Ye Zhen’s voice echoed, two Xuan Fire Drills suddenly shot out, roaring towards the three Grand Spirit Masters converging on him.

The terrifying waves emanating from the Heavenly Thunder Spirit Fire made the three Grand Spirit Masters’ expressions change drastically. Almost simultaneously, their Spirit Light surged, and each of them wielded a High Grade Soul Artifact to intercept the attack.

But at that very instant, Ye Zhen’s lips moved slightly, whispering, "Explode!"

Boom!

The two Xuan Fire Drills, rushing forth, suddenly brightened, and when they were still ten meters away from the nearest Grand Spirit Master and even a hundred meters from the farthest one, they exploded.

In an instant, a firestorm enveloping hundreds of meters erupted dramatically.

In the next moment, Governor Yong Kun and Marquis of Yellow Wind’s eyes widened to the extreme, filled with instant disbelief!

A hundred meters!

Even the Grand Spirit Master Ru Long, who was a hundred meters away from the explosion’s center, was reduced to... ashes in the blink of an eye!
