Chapter 128: Everyone’s Disdain

Chapter 128: Chapter 128: Everyone’s Disdain

The truth was out!

All the lies had been exposed!

And it all happened live, in front of the entire nation of Da Xia—and even the world.

This had to be the largest live broadcast in history!

The reporters were frantically reporting from the scene.

Onstage, Qin Wuhui, still holding the Celestial King Sword, was utterly stupefied.

His eyes darted about as he stared blankly at the people below.

He was terrified.

Falsely claiming battle honors and insulting the Night Emperor were crimes punishable by death. Not even ten of him could escape it.

He saw that the two Qin Race Elders were ignoring him.

A shudder ran through Qin Wuhui. He knew he was about to become the scapegoat.

He shrieked on the spot, "No, it wasn’t me! The Elders made me steal the credit! I-I didn’t want to! I just want to go home!"

"WAAAAH! I don’t want to be the War God anymore! I want to go home."

Qin Wuhui was actually bawling his eyes out, just like a little kid!

It was utterly ridiculous.

To think the Qin Race had chosen such a pathetic weakling.

The entire crowd looked on with contempt!

No one even knew how to describe this imbecile.

Just then, with a WHOOSH, a flash of blade light, shaped like a crescent moon, sliced through the air.

Qin Wuhui screamed. Powerless to resist, he was slain in public by the Celestial Demon King.

The Celestial Demon King appeared on the stage, ferociously gripping Qin Wuhui’s head. "Garbage. You think you’re worthy of stealing credit? The mere sight of you disgusts me!"

Ye Tianlong and the Nine Dragon Celestial King were scared stiff. Standing behind the Celestial Demon King, they didn’t dare move a muscle!

This was the Demon King who had escaped from the Night Emperor’s grasp twice in a row!

The blade flashed again!

Once! Twice!

Ye Tianlong and the Nine Dragon Celestial King fell!

The scene erupted into chaos!

The Celestial Demon King grinned menacingly as he scanned the area. "Night Emperor! Where are you?"

Amid the chaos, a deep voice responded, "I am right here!"

The entire venue fell silent in an instant.

It was the Night Emperor!

He had been here the whole time!

This was great!

The Night Emperor who defeated the Celestial Demons was here!

The Celestial Demon King threw his head back and laughed. "I’ve come for a decisive battle with you. We’ve been at a standoff for years, but it seems we’ve never fought one-on-one!"

Qin Tianxuan’s laughter rang out. "There are too many clowns here. Why don’t we have our final battle at Longshou Hill? I will go alone, without a single soldier! You can also rest on the way! Don’t say I’m bullying an old man!"

The Celestial Demon King sheathed his scimitar and laughed heartily. "Worthy of the name Night Emperor, my lifelong rival. After you!"

"After you!"

The two figures departed with an air of dashing confidence.

Everyone chased after them like a crazed mob.

"Night Emperor, we have wronged you!"

"Night Emperor, to think we doubted your achievements... we’re no better than animals!"

They were utterly ashamed.

The Celestial Pavilion Elders and the Military Gods of the Battle Department, in particular, wished they could just bash their heads against a wall and die!

...

It was deep in the night once more.

A dark moon hung high in the sky.

At Longshou Hill stood only Night Emperor Celestial Profound and his arch-nemesis, the Celestial Demon King!

This battle between them was a duel to settle their hatred, an open and honorable contest!

No one was allowed to watch this battle; the surroundings had been completely sealed off by the Night Emperor’s Nine Armies!

The representatives of the various factions at the victory banquet, along with everyone else, could only wait anxiously for the battle report.

From a distance, the onlookers could only see the brilliant gleam of flashing blades!

Faintly, they could hear the roars of the Celestial Demon King and the long cries of Night Emperor Celestial Profound!

After a long, long time, the flashes of blades and swords finally dissipated.

Only then did Battle Pavilion Wutian and the others enter the dueling ground.

There, they saw the great Celestial Demon King kneeling on a sand dune, his body facing west—the direction of his homeland.

Qin Tianxuan was propped up by his military dagger, which was stuck in the ground. He coughed up two mouthfuls of blood!

"Sir..." Everyone gathered around him nervously.

"I’m fine!"

Qin Tianxuan looked at the Celestial Demon King with a complex expression. "Though I fought against him for many years, locked in a stalemate, I still admire his bearing as the Demon King of his generation!"

Everyone nodded in agreement.

After all, this was the leader of the Celestial Demons who had fought bitterly against the Night Emperor for so long.

If Qin Tianxuan didn’t exist in this world, this Demon King might have conquered the Northern Domain long ago.

"Wutian!"

"Your subordinate is here!"

"Give the Demon King a proper burial. Do not touch his belongings; seal them all away with him. Bury him here, on Longshou Hill."

"Understood, sir!"

"Also, have his grave face west, toward his homeland! He was a wanderer; let’s hope his soul can return home after death. Consider it a sign of my respect."

"Your subordinate will see to it at once!"

Only then did Qin Tianxuan slowly sit down, his wounds tearing open for a second time.

He was once again placed on a stretcher!

Meanwhile, at the Northern Domain Battle Department, the people at the victory banquet were still anxiously awaiting the battle report.

Suddenly, a war chariot came speeding toward them!

A staff officer from the front lines leaped from the chariot, holding a report high in his hand and roaring, "The battle report from Longshou Hill is here!"

"The Da Xia Night Emperor has defeated the Celestial Demon King!"

"From this day forward, there are no more Celestial Demons in the Northern Domain!"

"An eternal glory, for the Night Emperor alone!"

An eternal glory!

For the Night Emperor alone!

The scene became as jubilant as a New Year’s celebration.

The Celestial Pavilion Elders and the twelve Military Gods were all weeping with joy.

It was finally over.

From now on, the Northern Domain would be stable, and the world would be at peace!

The Celestial Pavilion Elders and the Military Gods then remembered how the Qin Family and Ye Family had tried to steal the credit, and they gave furious orders!

"Detain the members of the Qin and Ye Families!"

"That’s right! It’s abominable! They falsified battle reports and nearly made us sinners for the ages!"

"Also, submit a new request for commendation for the Night Emperor and his troops!"

The chaos was finally over!

Only now did the people of Da Xia learn the truth.

The Night Emperor had not perished!

He had merely been biding his time on the front lines, waiting for the final battle!

At that moment, the Night Emperor’s prestige soared once again, reaching a level that could be described as unprecedented and unparalleled!

But Qin Tianxuan was never seen in public again.
