CHAPTER 1541: CHAPTER 1540 THE PURPOSE OF THE HEAVENLY COURT

"..." The Second Elder gritted his teeth and said angrily, "Assassin, don’t go too far. I know your strength is formidable, but everything in this world has its reasoning. This matter is between the Four Great Sects, the Beigong War God, and the Su Family Siblings; it has nothing to do with you..."

"Get lost!" The assassin replied unceremoniously, "The Beigong War God has been taking care of Xiao Huang for me for several years. His business is my business. As for the Su Family Siblings, Su Zhan is my friend, and they are my nephew and niece. Do you think I shouldn’t interfere in their matters?"

"You... you..." The Second Elder shivered with rage and shouted, "Are you insisting on getting involved in this matter?"

The assassin simply stopped talking, walked directly onto the scene, and scanned the crowd coldly, "I will count to three. Leave, or die!"

"Are you trying to scare us?" The Second Elder shouted angrily.

The assassin didn’t even glance at him and said coldly, "One!"

There was a commotion among the crowd, as they were still quite terrified of the assassin.

"Do you think we will be afraid?" The Second Elder continued to put on a brave face.

"Two!"

"You can’t scare us..." The Second Elder tried to shout, but at that moment, the people around him started to flee, not daring to remain.

The Second Elder was momentarily confused, but at this moment, the assassin coldly said, "Three!"

The Second Elder hesitated for a moment, then turned and ran as well. Although he talked tough, he had no guts to stay and fight against the assassin.

The crowd scattered, and Su Yang and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The Beigong War God saluted the assassin from a distance, "Thank you!"

The assassin said, "No need to thank me! Even if I didn’t intervene, that Hundred Battle Blade wouldn’t have harmed you."

Su Yang and the others were all taken aback. Could the Beigong War God withstand the terrifying power of the Hundred Battle Blade?

The Beigong War God didn’t speak, but he was aware himself. If the assassin hadn’t intervened, he would’ve had to use his trump card, and indeed, the Hundred Battle Blade would’ve been powerless against him.

The assassin came over and said softly, "Tonight, it’s a trap."

"I know!" Su Yang nodded.

"You don’t know!" The assassin shook his head.

Su Yang was stunned for a moment and said in surprise, "I... I know it’s a trap. They want to capture me and force me to hand over the Destiny’s Tome and Destiny Compass..."

The assassin said coldly, "That’s the objective of the Four Great Sects and the Jade-Faced Judge, but this is not the Heavenly Court’s goal!"

"Heavenly Court?" Su Yang was stunned, and the Black Widow, Lü Donglin, and the Beigong War God were all surprised.

The assassin said, "Currently, ninety percent of the Law Enforcers in Huaxia are gathered in the Capital City. With such a battle occurring, it’s impossible that those law enforcers wouldn’t notice. Yet, after the fight has reached such a stage, not a single law enforcer has come. Don’t you find this situation strange?"

"Now that you mention it, it is indeed very strange!" Lü Donglin frowned and said, "When we were ambushed on the road, there should’ve been Terrestrial Immortals present. But the law enforcers showed no reaction at all. What is their intention?"

"The law enforcers intend to deliberately provoke Beigong!" The assassin looked at the Beigong War God and said, "Tomorrow night is the negotiation between the Ten Great Sects and the Heavenly Court. Currently, Su Yang leads the Ten Great Sects, and the outcome of this negotiation will definitely not be as the Heavenly Court wishes. Therefore, the Heavenly Court intends to make some small maneuvers to change the Ten Great Sects’ thoughts!"

"Do they want to kill me?" Su Yang asked in surprise, "So no one can lead the Ten Great Sects?"

The assassin said, "Killing you is secondary; they want the Ten Great Sects to realize that the current rules are a restriction for them. This way, the Ten Great Sects will want to change the rules of Heaven and Earth!"

"Restriction?" Su Yang was taken aback, then widened his eyes and turned to look at the Beigong War God beside him.

The Beigong War God’s eyebrows furrowed as he said in a deep voice, "Does that mean my actions tonight might change some sects’ thoughts?"

Beside him, the Black Widow and Lü Donglin also understood the situation. If the Beigong War God strongly defeated so many Terrestrial Immortals tonight, once this news spread, people from other sects would only feel a sense of impending doom.

After all, these Superlunary Sects mostly consist of Terrestrial Immortals. If a mortal can kill Terrestrial Immortals, and the Terrestrial Immortals are restrained by the rules from killing mortals, it would be extremely unfair to the Terrestrial Immortals.

In this way, they would feel that the current rules of Heaven and Earth are a restriction for the Ten Great Sects. Thus, they would definitely want to change these rules!

"That’s why I didn’t let you take action just now or continue the massacre!" The assassin said solemnly, "If too many Terrestrial Immortals die tonight, it would only make other sects feel more doom!"

The Beigong War God nodded slowly, his eyebrows tightly furrowed. The Heavenly Court has started meddling in these affairs, and it seems this matter will become increasingly troublesome.

"So, was everything tonight planned by the Heavenly Court?" Su Yang asked.

"I’m not sure yet!" The assassin shook his head, "I hope it’s not the Heavenly Court’s plan, otherwise, the Four Great Sects might have already colluded with the Heavenly Court."

Su Yang’s brows furrowed. Although the assassin hasn’t figured it out yet, he cannot afford to let his guard down. In the future, he must be cautious with these Four Great Sects!

"Anyway, this matter tonight is over!" The assassin said, "Lü Donglin, Su Yang, have your people stay in Qinghe Academy for the time being, don’t go wandering around unless necessary. Wait until after the negotiation tomorrow night to discuss other matters."

"Alright!" Everyone nodded, after tonight’s events, they dared not be careless. If the Heavenly Court has truly allied with those four sects, then they don’t know how many things might happen before the negotiation.

The assassin turned to the Beigong War God, who shook his head, "I need to retreat for a while; I must complete the final stretch of the path!"

The assassin stared at the Beigong War God for a while, then nodded slowly, "If you can complete this path, the world will have another Sword Saint, and it’ll be a blessing for the Human Realm!"

"I walk a different path from him!" The Beigong War God shook his head and said, "He cultivates the Tyrant Sword; I train in the Supreme Art. I won’t become the Sword Saint, nor will he be like me!"

"Heh..." The assassin chuckled softly, said no more, and left slowly holding Xiao Huang.

"Let me escort you back to Qinghe Academy!" The Beigong War God turned and said.

Su Yang and the others nodded, and under the protection of the Beigong War God, they quickly returned to Qinghe Academy.
