Chapter 132: Having Nothing

Chapter 132: Chapter 132: Having Nothing

Few knew the name of the Dark Prison Hall!

When Qin Tianxuan first founded the Dark Prison Hall, he established a rule.

It was not to be deployed unless absolutely necessary.

Thus, of the five halls under the Night Emperor, the halls of the War Venerable, the Celestial Doctor, and Intelligence were world-renowned. In contrast, the remaining Dark Prison Hall and Ten Thousand Realms Hall were deeply shrouded in mystery, existing only in legend.

At this moment, Qin Tianxuan stood proudly in place, not moving an inch.

Across from him, the Qin Family’s killers and the Ye Family’s assassins fell, one by one!

They couldn’t even see their attacker!

From the shadows, a graceful figure emerged. She was clad in blood-red, and with a flash of the longsword from her sleeve, the last few killers from the Qin Family collapsed!

This goddess of slaughter retreated into the shadows after her fatal strike and bowed slightly. "Sir, Honglian awaits your command!"

Honglian?

’The legendary number one assassin in the world?’

The surviving Elders from the Qin and Ye Families shrieked.

They huddled together pathetically, staring intently into the depths of the shadows.

It was actually Honglian, the one whose name alone could make the powers of the Northern Domain turn pale with fear!

’It’s over!’

’This time, we’re truly finished.’

With his hands behind his back, Qin Tianxuan’s expression was as calm as ever. "The Qin and Ye Families still have five hundred retainers and disciples. Eradicate them!"

What?!

’He won’t even spare those five hundred?’

’Does he mean to wipe them all out?’

The Elders of the Qin and Ye Families roared in unison, "You dare?!"

Honglian and the assassins of the Dark Prison Hall withdrew. Moments later, even more blood-curdling screams echoed from outside.

Qin Tianxuan coldly walked up to the several Qin Family Elders and patted their pale faces. "Why wouldn’t I dare? Did you really think no one in this world could deal with you?"

His tone was still just as nonchalant, but every word he spoke made the hearts of everyone present tremble.

The sharp sound of slapping rang out again and again.

"When I, the Night Emperor, do something, I always see it through to the bitter end. Have you only just heard of me today?"

Outside, Honglian’s figure reappeared. "Sir, the remnants of the Qin and Ye Families, five hundred and three in total, have all been eliminated! Should we bury them on the spot or drag them out to feed the eagles?"

Qin Tianxuan let out a low laugh. "The vultures of the Great Desert have eaten too well these past two days. I’m afraid they can’t stomach so many dead. Put them all in coffins and send them back to the Qin and Ye Families!"

With that, he flicked his sleeve. "And write this clearly on the coffins: He who slays the villains: Night Emperor Tianxuan!"

He who slays the villains: Night Emperor Tianxuan!

Seven blood-red words, five hundred and three coffins!

So arrogant, so brazen!

’This is an open declaration of war!’

The few Celestial Hall Elders and the representatives of the Battle Department Military God present had long been dumbfounded.

’The Night Emperor actually did it. Right here, at a victory celebration, he wiped out more than five hundred members of the Qin and Ye Families over a single disagreement?’

’And that’s not even counting the assassins here.’

’It looks like the Night Emperor doesn’t even plan on letting these few Elders go.’

The Celestial Hall Elders and the Military God’s representatives came to their senses and once again blocked Qin Tianxuan’s path.

"We’re doing this for your own good, Tianxuan! You’ve once again performed a peerless service. You’re about to be promoted to the highest rank of Celestial King. Your ascension to the top of the Battle Department is only a matter of time. But these four Elders here... their connections in the Imperial Capital are too deep!"

"That’s right, Tianxuan. You can kill those assassins, get rid of those insignificant pawns, but you cannot kill these four!"

"If you kill them, all your merits will be wiped away! You’ll be left with nothing!"

The Elders from the Qin and Ye Families were so scared they pissed themselves.

They no longer cared about face, groveling on the floor and trembling. "Right, you can’t kill us!"

"Qin Tianxuan, don’t forget! Besides the Patriarch, we are the only ones who know your true identity—your identity as a blood member of the Qin Family!"

"If you kill us, you’ll be a lonely ghost forever! You’ll never be able to return to your ancestors and be recognized by your clan!"

Qin Tianxuan looked at them coolly. "Are you finished?"

Hm?

The scene fell deathly silent!

Then, a series of sharp CRACKS!

In an instant, he had snapped the necks of the several Qin and Ye Elders!

THUD. He watched dispassionately as they collapsed.

Qin Tianxuan pulled over a napkin and leisurely wiped his hands. "Too much nonsense. It’s truly laughable!"

He tossed the white napkin onto the bodies of the worthless trash, whose eyes were still open in death.

Turning, he looked at the ashen-faced representatives from the Celestial Hall and the Battle Department. "Now, you can report this to the Imperial Capital. I will wait here for you for twelve hours!"

I will accept any punishment after twelve hours!

Hmph!

Qin Tianxuan stated proudly, "But I believe the Imperial Capital won’t do anything to me. The Qin and Ye Families have long been a cancer in Da Xia! Some of the higher-ups might even praise me for this!"

The few representatives from the Celestial Hall and Battle Department gave wry, helpless smiles. "But your merits are all wasted now. Ah, Tianxuan, you really will be left with nothing."

Qin Tianxuan sat down on the only remaining chair, his entire figure seemingly shrouded in shadow.

He said nothing, the chair beneath him like a throne.

At this moment, he was a Demon King who had walked straight out of Hell!

An unshakeable Demon King of vengeance!

「Six hours later.」

A secret directive arrived from the Imperial Capital.

The representatives from the Celestial Hall and the Battle Department held the top-secret document and announced its contents in low voices to Qin Tianxuan, who remained seated.

"Your merits and demerits have canceled each other out! All commendations are rescinded!"

"Within the stipulated time, the Night Emperor must report to the Celestial Hall to undergo investigation!"

"The Imperial Capital is in an uproar, and the great families are furious. The situation is rather tense right now!"

"Therefore, you are temporarily granted a period of self-reflection!"

After listening impassively, Qin Tianxuan stood up. "Very well. Tell the Qin and Ye Families to prepare their own coffins. The day I come knocking will be the day of their destruction!"

He removed the medals from his chest and set down the military bayonet he carried.

In that moment, it seemed as if he had nothing.

But in reality, he already had everything.

His deep-seated blood feud was his unyielding backbone.

His daughter at home was the one he held in his heart!

Qin Tianxuan, covered in scars and with peerless achievements to his name, once again left the Northern Domain where he had fought for so many years.

He longed for home with the urgency of a loosed arrow.
