Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio

Once the avatar received Su Mo’s orders, he quickly acted upon them and began to disseminate information.

Not long later, the news spread like wildfire through the various regions.

The news was that Zi Xiao had killed Tuoba Liuming, Yun Mu and Gu Jianshan.

The moment the news broke, it shocked numerous people all over the world.

This was due to the fact that Tuoba Liuming, Yun Mu and Gu Jianshan were all Favored Ones who had strong superpowers behind them.

However, it was absurd that the three Favored Ones would be killed by Zi Xiao.

It was rumored that Qin Yun had been surrounded by the three shortly after he went out of Great Sword Sepulcher.

Despite how exceptional Qin Yun was, his low cultivation rank meant that he was not a match for the three.

At the very last moment, Zi Xiao had appeared and killed Tuoba Liuming, Yun Mu and Gu JIanshan with a single move.

This news swept through the regions at a wonderous speed but no one knew where the rumors came from.

…

“Zi Xiao, this man is incredulous!”

Back at Earth Palace at Reincarnation Holy Court, the furious roars of many shook the grand hall.

A few dozen people had gathered at the hall as a long-robed elder with tanned skin sat in the main seat.

This man was the Earth Palace Master, ‘Earthly Supreme Being’.

At that point, Earthly Supreme Being had a dark face as a sharp ray of light crossed his eyes.

The news about Tuoba Liuming’s death had reached Earth Palace and Tuoba Liuming was the Palace Master’s grandson.

“Father, we cannot let this matter go. If Liuming really died by Zi Xiao’s hands, he will pay for his crime!”

Below him, a short middle-aged man wearing a long silver robe urged.

This man was Tuoba Liuming’s father, Di Cang Supreme Being.

“Palace Master, Zi Xiao and Ultimate Sword Domain must pay for their crimes!”

“We should head for Ultimate Sword Domain!”

“Liuming cannot die just like that!”

Many people spoke with anger. These men were all top-ranked in the Earth Palace, each of them Supreme Beings or Rank 8 or 9 True Gods.

A small fire burned in Di Yuan Supreme Being’s eyes. As his voice deepened, he said, “We have to verify whether this is the truth or not. We cannot be reckless!”

Di Yuan Supreme Being maintained rationality despite his anger. Although Ultimate Sword Domain was weaker than Earth Palace, it was not weak and they could not go to war hastily.

“Cang’er, go over to Ultimate Sword Domain and investigate the matter thoroughly. If Liuming really died by Zi Xiao’s hands, I will seek avenge for Liuming!” Di Yuan Supreme Being ordered in a stern voice.

He wanted to go to Ultimate Sword Domain by himself but he could not leave.

After all, Tuoba Qingyun was in cultivation seclusion. If he left Earth Palace, Heaven Palace would not let this chance to sneak an attack on them pass them by.

“Alright, I will go!” Di Cang Supreme Being nodded and strode out of the hall without hesitation.

“Cang’er, don’t be rash with this. Try not to offend Ultimate Sword Domain!” Di Yuan Supreme Being urged.

This matter was not certain and before they investigated thoroughly, they could not become enemies with Ultimate Sword Domain.

“I understand, father!” Without turning back, Di Cang Supreme Being acknowledged. The moment he walked out of the hall, his body shot towards the sky and he left for Ultimate Sword Domain.

…

A similar scene played out in Sky Pool Great Rotating Region, Great Rotating Divine Hall.

Gu Jianshan was the most exceptional genius there had been in Great Rotating Divine Hall for a few hundred thousand years. Many higher ups could not take his death with calmness and they immediately dashed towards Ultimate Sword Domain.

Lightning Flame Supreme Being Palace in Lightning Flame Region was a superpower similar to Ultimate Sword Domain and it was also where Yun Mu belonged.

Yun Mu’s death had also triggered a large group of top powers from Lightning Flame Supreme Being Palace to rush to Ultimate Sword Domain.

In a moment, Ultimate Sword Domain became a place of interest.

All attention was placed on Zi Xiao Supreme Being of Ultimate Sword Domain.

…

This day, a few important guests were gathered at Ultimate Supreme Being Palace.

Di Cang Supreme Being from Earth Palace, Chi Yun Supreme Being of Great Rotating Divine Hall and Lei Huo Supreme Being of Lightning Flame Supreme Palace.

Ultimate Supreme Being sat on the main seat in the grand hall. On his right were Zi Xiao Supreme being, Destructive Supreme Being, Snow Supreme Being.

On the other hand, Di Cang Supreme Being, Chi Yun Supreme Being, Lei Huo Supreme Being sat on his left.

The three Supreme Beings arrived at Ultimate Sword Domain at roughly the same time and they immediately sought an audience with Ultimate Supreme being.

“What have the three of you come here for?” Ultimate Supreme Being asked.

Although he asked the question, he knew why the three were there.

He had heard of the rumors already.

He had personally asked Zi Xiao whether he had killed Tuoba Liuming, and Zi Xiao had obviously denied it.

While he could not verify that Zi Xiao spoke the truth, he could not force Zi Xiao into anything.

“Ultimate Supreme Being, we are here for Zi Xiao Palace Master!” Di Cang Supreme Being glowered as he glared at ZI Xiao.

Lei Huo Supreme Being and Chi Yun Supreme Being both glared at Zi Xiao in a deathly way.

Both of them were strong, middle-aged men that had muscular bodies.

However, Lei Huo Supeme Being had darker skin and a stern face, while Chi Yun Supreme Being had skin that was redder and a pair of red eyes that seemed sharp.

At that point, Zi Xiao wore a dark look. He knew that the three men were there for him.

After all, the false rumors about him were well known by that point.

“Everyone, we don’t know whether Tuoba Liuming, Yun Mu and Gu Jianshan are dead. We have never even seen them!” Zi Xiao’s face was ashen as he stared at the three.

He was frustrated but helpless and he knew that Qin Yun was the cause of the trouble.

Someone was definitely creating this mess for him. If not Qin Yun, who else could have done it?

“If you have never seen them, where did they go?” Di Cang Supreme Being’s eyes were narrow as he tried to discern whether or not Zi Xiao was lying.

“Brother Tuoba, how would I know where the three of them are?” Zi Xiao frowned as he countered. Anger boiled in his heart. This was a joke. Why would he know where the three Favored Ones were?

Zi Xiao was considered to be on familiar terms with Di Cang Supreme Being and he knew that Di Cang was Tuoba Liuming’s father.

“Zi Xiao, are you telling us that the three of them died by Qin Yun’s hands?” Chi Yun Supreme Being scoffed. He knew Zi Xiao wouldn’t admit killing to the three. However, their objective wasn’t to make him confess but to find any loopholes in his story.

“Qin Yun could not have killed all of them!” Lei Huo Supreme Being said.

“Everyone, I, Zi Xiao am honorable in whatever I do. I would not have killed them!” Zi Xiao stood up and announced with a determined expression.

“Honorable?”

Yet, Di Cang Supreme Being scoffed in a sarcastic manner, “Then I will ask you, what is your relationship with Qin Yun?”

“Nothing!” Zi Xiao did not hesitate to reply.

“Nothing?” Di Cang Supreme Being scorned. He continued his interrogation, “Based on what I know, Qin Yun killed a few of your disciples previously. Why did you not punish him. You kept the matter under wraps?”

“That was because of Ling Chang. She is on good terms on Qin Yun and I did not punish him on her behalf, but that has got nothing to do with this!” Zi Xiao explained. His strategy was to push the blame on Ling Chang.

There was no way he could explain to others the true reason. After all, he could not reveal that he’d spared Qin Yun because he wanted to take advantage of Ling Chang in the future right?

“Where is Ling Chang Palace Master? Why is she not out?” Lei Huo Supreme Being asked.

“Ling Chang is in cultivation seclusion. I called for her already!” Ultimate Supreme Being answered. He had to give the three guests an answer that day or the faction would be in trouble.

With that, Ultimate Supreme Being called for a servant to get Ling Chang.

Right at that moment, rolls of thunder clapped across the sky above Ultimate Sword Doamin.

“Ultimate Supreme Being, Tian Chenyu requests an entrance!”

A loud voice boomed across the sky and shook Ultimate Sword Domain as it reverberated through the grand hall.
