Chapter 3302: The Mayhemless Heavenly King

Very soon, the news of the Life Emperor’s death also swept through the entire Peace region like wildfire.

Another emperor had perished after the White Emperor and the Magic Emperor, which put the remaining emperors that ruled over the Peace region in an extremely uncomfortable position.

Now, all of the Wood Spirits located in the Peace region could sense a terrifying cloud envelop the entire place.

In such a short time, three emperors had died. Even weaker Wood Spirit cultivators could sense that something major was about to happen.

Within Dark Emperor city of the nine imperial cities, two middle-aged men sat within a guest room in the Dark Emperor clan.

One of them was dressed in black robes, giving off a natural sense of dignity and gravitas. He was one of the nine emperors of the Peace region, the Dark Emperor.

The other middle-aged man was dressed in simple clothes. His appearance was nothing special, which made him seem like a mortal. No part about him stood out.

However, despite being one of the nine emperors, the Dark Emperor behaved rather reservedly before this ordinary middle-aged man.

That was because the middle-aged man was one of the nine heavenly kings of the Wood Spirits World, the Harmonious Ode Heavenly King!

Heavenly kings were all experts that stood at the apex of the Wood Spirits World, above everyone else, only second to the three rulers!

“Ode Heavenly King, the Ceremonial Bell Heavenly King has been acting with such recklessness, killing the Magic Emperor first and now the Life Emperor. He’s broken the rules set down by the three rulers in such an open manner. He’s already committed a great crime. Will there really be no one to punish him?” The Dark Emperor spoke sternly, clearly sensing the danger already.

The Harmonious Ode Heavenly King sighed gently. “Out of the three rulers of the Wood Spirits World, the Blood Slaughter Ruler controls the Scarlet Blood Domain, the Jade Sky Ruler controls the Jade Centre Domain, and the Heaven Fighting Ruler controls the Grand Heaven Domain. The Peace region lies between the three domains under the three rulers’ control, serving as a buffer zone.”

“The three rulers have set down the rule that none of their subordinates are allowed to touch the Peace region. The nine heavenly kings also reside in the three domains, so they’re forbidden from interfering with anything in the Peace region. That is the reason why the nine imperial cities possess their current status.”

“But now, the rules of the Peace region have already become a matter of the past. The Blood Slaughter Ruler has already broken the agreement, wanting to occupy the Peace region. The Ceremonial Bell Heavenly King has the Blood Slaughter Ruler supporting him from behind.”

The Dark Emperor’s expression immediately changed when he heard the Harmonious Ode Heavenly King’s explanation. He cried out, “Do the Jade Sky Ruler and the Heaven Fighting Ruler still not know about something so important!?”

The Harmonious Ode Heavenly King shook his head and said, “Including the Blood Slaughter Ruler, none of the rulers are present. They’ve led a large number of experts under their command out at sea in an attempt to slaughter the tyrant of the demonic island, the Demonic Dragon Ruler.”

“Among the nine heavenly kings, the remaining eight of us do not belong to any ruler, apart from the Ceremonial Bell Heavenly King who’s pledged himself to the Blood Slaughter Ruler. As a result, the eight of us can only stand by during the chaos of the Peace region.”

“After all, this is a pie that the three rulers are fighting for. As heavenly kings without the support of rulers, we don’t have the courage to become involved in this mess.”

The Dark Emperor’s expression was extremely stern. He was slightly dazed. “Don’t tell me the age of the nine emperors in the Peace region really is coming to an end?”

The Harmonious Ode Heavenly King also felt powerless. “Right now, only two choices lay before you. The first is to yield, submitting yourself to the Blood Slaughter Ruler.”

“The second is to resist!”

“However, with the Ceremonial Bell Heavenly King around, you should be aware of the consequences of resisting.”

The Harmonious Ode Heavenly King’s suggestion left the Dark Emperor rather pale.

None of the three rulers were present. Meanwhile, eight of the nine heavenly kings had chosen to stand by, refusing to interfere in the matters of the Peace region.

Under these circumstances, just who still stood a chance against the Ceremonial Bell Heavenly King in the current Wood Spirits World?

Suddenly, a tremendous presence appeared over the Dark Emperor’s estate. The Ceremonial Bell Heavenly King in his green clothes with his crown on his head had arrived. He stood in the air with his hands behind his back.

In the next moment, the Harmonious Ode Heavenly King and the Dark Emperor both appeared, confronting the Ceremonial Bell Heavenly King.

“Harmonious Ode Heavenly King, I know you go way back with the Dark Emperor, but you can’t interfere with this.” The Ceremonial Bell Heavenly King stared at the Harmonious Ode Heavenly King coldly.

“I’m not bold enough to interfere with the matters of the three rulers.” The Harmonious Ode Heavenly King sighed gently and turned towards the Dark Emperor. “It’s time for you to make a choice. I can only help you up to here.”

When he heard that, the Ceremonial Bell Heavenly King’s eyes shone as he turned towards the Dark Emperor. “Since you’ve already learned everything from the Harmonious Ode Heavenly King, then I won’t repeat it again. Are you going to yield, or are you going to die? That’s your choice to make.”

“Dark Emperor, I’ll only give you a minute to consider.” The Ceremonial Bell Heavenly King’s tone was extremely cold.

“I-I yield!” The Dark Emperor was dejected. After saying that, he seemed to grow much older all of a sudden.

…

In Sword Emperor city, the gentlemanly Sword Emperor dressed in white clothes currently stood respectfully behind a ruddy old man. He asked, “Senior Mayhemless, is there really no other choice? Is there really no one who can stop the Ceremonial Bell Heavenly King?”

The sagely-looking, ruddy old man was the Mayhemless Heavenly King!

“If you want the situation to change, the Jade Sky Ruler and the Heaven Fighting Ruler must return, but they’re on the demonic island out at sea right now. In that special environment, no information can be transmitted over, so it is indeed true that no one can stop the Ceremonial Bell Heavenly King in the current Wood Spirits World if the eight of us do not interfere.”

“However, once we do interfere, that’ll be working against the Blood Slaughter Ruler.”

“That’s all there is to it. The choice next is for you to make.” The Mayhemless Heavenly King had already vanished, leaving the Sword Emperor clan.

After the Mayhemless Heavenly King’s departure, the Sword Emperor sat on his seat in silence for quite a while before letting out a powerless sigh. He murmured, “Looks like no one can stop these changes. The only way for me to live is to yield to a ruler. The glory of the nine imperial cities will become a matter of the past sooner or later.”

In a particularly unique courtyard within Sword Emperor city, Bai Yurou remained in her room alone. The Sword Emperor’s warning echoed through her head as she faced intense conflict inside.

“The only way to live is to leave the Peace region and become the Jade Sky Ruler’s disciple. Has the situation really become so severe?” Bai Yurou murmured, finding it unbelievable. Just what kind of enemy had their White Emperor faction provoked that they needed to seek refuge under a ruler to live?

After all, she was merely a Godking!

“The situation will only be more severe than you imagine. Even I don’t know whether you have enough time to become the Jade Sky Ruler’s disciple.” At this moment, an elder voice rang out in the room. The Mayhemless Heavenly King appeared there silently.

The sudden voice startled Bai Yurou, but she immediately became excited when she discovered it was the Mayhemless Heavenly King.

“Greetings, Mayhemless Heavenly King!”

The Mayhemless Heavenly King gazed at Bai Yurou with mixed emotions and said, “I’ve learned about the matters regarding the White Emperor clan a long time ago, except I am unable to help you.”

“Bai Yurou, if you trust me enough, then hear me out. Leave the Peace region immediately and head to the Jade Centre domain under the Jade Sky Ruler’s control. If you’re fast enough, you still might make it in time.”

“Senior, what exactly is going on?” Bai Yurou was perplexed.

“The upheaval of the White Emperor clan is connected to the Ceremonial Bell Heavenly King. There is a soul imprint on you left behind by him. I don’t know why he hasn’t killed you, but you’re clearly already under his watch.”

“Your talent is exceptional. Everyone says you have the aptitude to become a heavenly king, so the Ceremonial Bell Heavenly King won’t spare you, just in case you become a powerful enemy of his in the future.”

“Go. Leave the Peace region immediately and head to the Jade Centre domain as quickly as possible. You have to reach there before the Ceremonial Bell Heavenly King frees up the time. The Jade Centre domain is the Jade Sky Ruler’s territory. You’re still in danger before the Jade Sky Ruler returns, but at least the Ceremonial Bell Heavenly King will act with much more caution.”

“Bai Yurou, the path ahead of you will depend on your own fortunes. I am unable to assist you.”

“Go. Go now. I hope that there’s still time.” After a series of instructions, the Mayhemless Heavenly King left silently, clearly refusing to become involved in this mess.

The Mayhemless Heavenly King’s words immediately made Bai Yurou turn sheet-white. Without any hesitation, she immediately gathered all of her clansmen.

“Young miss, what’s happened? Why are you gathering us in such a hurry?”

Very soon, the six remaining Godkings of the White Emperor’s faction gathered, and the descendants that had been sent out to purchase resources immediately returned too. A group of people gathered around Bai Yurou.

“There’s a change in the situation. We need to leave the Peace region immediately. We can’t stay here for any longer.” Bai Yurou had never been so stern before. Being under the watch of a heavenly king and even possessing a soul imprint of his gave her unprecedented pressure.

She did not even bother with further explanation, immediately releasing the flying ship. She planned to leave this place with her clansmen.

At this moment, a letter shot through the air and stopped before Bai Yurou.

“A letter from the Sword Emperor?” Bai Yurou was solemn, immediately opening the letter.

But with that, she immediately became ashen. She seemed to lose all of her strength, collapsing on the chair behind her.

“Young miss, what’s wrong with you? What did senior Sword Emperor’s letter say?” Elder Qing was filled with worry.

Bai Yurou was pale-white. She murmured, “Senior Sword Emperor has said that the three passageways out of the Peace region have all been sealed off. No one can leave. We can’t go anywhere anymore.”

“But young miss, why are we in such a hurry to leave the Peace region?”

“Yeah, young miss. We belong to the Peace region. This is our home. Why do we have to leave?”

The remaining Godkings all spoke up. They were all confused.

“Because if we don’t leave, only death awaits us.” Bai Yurou was pale. She told everyone about the danger they were facing without holding back at all.

“What? The Ceremonial Bell Heavenly King wants to kill us?”

All of the Godkings immediately became dumbfounded. A chill ran down their spines as they became deathly pale.
