Chapter 855 (Who Did It!?)
The group of henchmen couldn’t believe it – they were staring at the lifeless bodies of two Emperors. These were not small fries, they were Gods!
They surrounded the two Gods’ corpses, their expressions and postures resembling those watching a rare species. They even began discussing it amongst themselves.
“Can you believe how these two Gods died?”
“Looking at their bodies, it seems like they were crushed by something.”
“Are you kidding me? What kind of thing could crush two Gods together?”
“Maybe a heavyweight fatty.”
“…”
Yang Yao and Shi Yu were talking in hushed tones, their expressions serious.
“Yang Yao, how do you think they were killed?” Shi Yu was puzzled as to why, at a crucial moment, they’d made themselves pass out to avoid being seen.
Yang Yao took a deep breath and said, “From the scene, there doesn’t seem to be any significant impact, but the Gods died. It seems that even powerful techniques couldn’t achieve this.”
“Are you suggesting that it was due to the release of aura?” Shi Yu was amazed, but it seemed impossible; using aura to crush two Gods, wouldn’t that require extraordinary strength?
Yang Yao shook his head, “I don’t know; it’s just a guess. Perhaps someone knows some advanced techniques that could cause this kind of situation.”
“Advanced techniques? Even with advanced techniques, directly killing two Gods means that the perpetrator is at least an Overlord!”
When Shi Yu mentioned this, his voice turned grave. That man in the wheelchair was an Overlord? How was that possible?
Could an Overlord be so low-key? But he thought of those four women; an Overlord is clearly the one who deserved such women. If they had shown any disrespect just now, they might have been killed by the man in the wheelchair!
“Now we shouldn’t be worried about how these two Gods died, but how to deal with the Prime Yang Mansion!” Yang Yao sighed and his gaze became even more serious.
Upon hearing Yang Yao’s words, Shi Yu instantly understood. Two Gods died for no apparent reason; who would the Prime Yang Mansion come to seek answers from? They would probably come to them for an explanation.
“Yang Yao, I don’t think we should worry about this too much. After all, it wasn’t us who killed them,” Shi Yu said casually, as they didn’t possess the strength to kill two Gods.
They could only be slaughtered by Gods.
However, just as they were discussing, a figure suddenly emerged from the void! Everyone looked up, and it was a man in a magnificent robe, with long, sleek black hair that reached down to his waist. His face had a gloomy expression, and a terrifying aura emanated from him as he walked step by step through the void. With each step, ripples formed beneath his feet.
Everyone made way, not daring to obstruct him. Shi Yu and Yang Yao stared blankly at the approaching man, fearing that something they were afraid of had come true.
If their guess was correct, this person should be the Master of the Prime Yang Mansion, Venerable Mu Xinhai!
Venerable Mu Xinhai walked up to the two corpses and stared blankly at his left and right protectors.
Not long ago, he had a bad premonition and felt that something big had happened. It seemed that his intuition was correct. His two protectors had been completely annihilated by someone!
Moreover, their souls didn’t escape. This murderer is exceedingly ruthless!!
Mu Xinhai realised that his protectors had suffered torment before death. He knew he needed to explain; otherwise, he’d lose his credibility as the master. More importantly, who was the one that killed his protectors?
Mu Xinhai suddenly turned to Yang Yao and Shi Yu. The latter’s legs were trembling, and he even felt the urge to kneel. Was this the aura of a Venerable? It was indeed formidable!
“Was it you?” Mu Xinhai asked in a cold voice.
Yang Yao quickly bowed and said, “It wasn’t us, my lord. We woke up, and this was the situation we found.”
“Yes, my lord, we don’t have the power to kill two God experts.” Shi Yu also explained, her tone earnest.
Mu Xinhai, though angered, hadn’t lost his rationality. These two had only reached the peak of the Order level, and they lacked the strength for such an act.
“Who is it! If you speak up now, I’ll spare your lives!” Mu Xinhai demanded.
Today, someone would likely die if they didn’t reveal the truth.
Yang Yao anxiously explained, “We don’t know that cripple. He suddenly appeared when he was snatching the Mystical Fire.”
“Yes, my lord, that Mystical Fire flew directly into that man’s hand, and our two protectors clashed with him. We were then knocked unconscious by that man. When we woke up, we found this situation,” Shi Yu explained. He was eager to save his life. In front of a great Venerable, if they couldn’t explain themselves, there was a chance he might kill them. To whom could they turn for justice then? They were completely doomed.
“Who is it? I don’t want to repeat myself!” Mu Xinhai erupted with tremendous pressure, sending everyone flying and pinning them to the ground. However, Yang Yao and Shi Yu still managed to hold their ground. The entire atmosphere seemed to tremble, and both of them were pale with fear.
“My lord, I heard him say that it was someone from… what’s it called? The ‘Voidless Empire.’ It’s true; we genuinely don’t know anything,” Shi Yu said. He felt like crying, realising he might have been deceived. Although that man hadn’t killed him, the Venerable might get angry and decide to kill him now.
Mu Xinhai had never heard of the Voidless Empire. Could someone from an empire kill his protectors? Were they joking?
“Even if you’re lying, couldn’t you think it through? The Voidless Empire? Someone from an empire killed them! Are you kidding me?” Mu Xinhai nearly roared, not believing a word they were saying. These two protectors were vital to the Prime Yang Mansion. Their deaths had significantly reduced the Prime Yang Mansion’s combat power. How could he not be angry?
“My lord, it’s true, we can all testify,” Hua Yang called out from the side. He knew that they couldn’t explain today’s events clearly. Everyone present might be killed.
Although Mu Xinhai was sceptical, he wanted to see what this Voidless Empire was and how they had the power to kill his people.
“Where is it?”
“My lord, it’s in the Northern Chill Region,” Shi Yu quickly responded, sensing that Mu Xinhai might be inclined to relent.
Mu Xinhai took a deep breath, looked back at the two corpses, and then vanished instantly. But his threatening words lingered in the air, “If I find out you’ve deceived me, prepare to be annihilated!”
As Mu Xinhai departed, the oppressive atmosphere dissipated. Everyone felt a sense of relief.
“That was close; we almost died,” Shi Yu said. He felt like he had walked through the gates of hell. In front of a great Venerable, they had no room for resistance.
