Lord of All Gods

Chapter 1306: Chapter 1306 The Gao Deepened

Ye Liuyun eliminated the Grand Emperor from his list of suspects.

He couldn’t fathom a reason for the Grand Emperor’s actions.

Even Emperor Xia couldn’t figure out the motive, let alone him.

That evening, the royal court issued a decree condemning Xiao Yuhong for his abuse of military power and misuse of public resources and sentenced him to death.

"Sentenced to death? Isn’t that too lenient!"

Ye Liuyun expressed his dissatisfaction upon receiving the news.

"If you’re unwilling to take action, I’ll handle it myself. Consider this a warning. Keep a close eye on the person behind you, or the situation will only escalate further," Ye Liuyun thought.

Early the next morning, Qin Peng’s army arrived outside the Imperial City through the Conveyor Formation. Ye Liuyun joined forces with Qin Peng and prepared to enter the city.

At the same time, all the Conveyor Formations across the Central Continent were shut down to prevent the dynasty from mobilizing its forces against Ye Liuyun.

As Ye Liuyun led his strong army toward the Imperial City, the Central Continent trembled.

"What’s happening? Ye Liuyun is attacking the Imperial City?"

"Is the Central Continent about to undergo a major change?"

Everyone was trying to understand what was going on and how the situation would unfold.

The garrison within the Imperial City was terrified.

Their combat abilities were far inferior to the experienced soldiers under Ye Liuyun’s command.

While they were adept at maintaining order, their actual battle experience was severely lacking.

Upon hearing the news, Emperor Xia was shocked. He exclaimed, "This is madness! Ye Liuyun has gone too far!"

He realized that Ye Liuyun was still furious, feeling that the punishment was too light.

The Commander of the Imperial City’s praetorian guard stood below, awaiting the Emperor’s decision, not daring to interrupt.

"Order all the garrisoned troops to withdraw to the Imperial Palace."

Emperor Xia, after giving it some thought, ordered the garrisoned troops to withdraw to the Imperial Palace.

He knew Ye Liuyun wouldn’t attack the palace.

He had promised Xiao Yunhong that he would protect his family.

However, with Ye Liuyun leading an army now, if he tried to stop him, the situation would escalate.

Ye Liuyun had suffered a setback and wanted to vent. If he resisted too much, Ye Liuyun wouldn’t back down, potentially leading to direct conflict.

Currently, Ye Liuyun was outside the city with his army, waiting for Emperor Xia’s decision.

Upon seeing the garrisoned troops being withdrawn, Ye Liuyun handed over command of his elite forces to Qin Peng and only took that unit with him into the city.

He was mindful of the royal family’s reputation. Bringing in two hundred thousand soldiers would not look good; it might raise suspicions of a coup.

Ye Liuyun led his forces towards Xiao Yuhong’s house.

Xiao Yuhong’s family had remained indoors since his death sentence was issued.

"Attack!"

Ye Liuyun commanded as they reached the location.

The soldiers immediately split into two teams. One team surrounded the Xiao family’s estate, while the other charged inside, beginning the bloodbath against Xiao Yuhong’s relatives.

Xiao Yuhong, being a high-ranking official, had considerable influence, and his family was large, numbering at least tens of thousands. The entire estate was being targeted, leading to screams and cries filling the air.

Ye Liuyun did not enter the residence but waited outside for news.

In the courtyard, screams and screams could be heard.

"I really hope Emperor Xia hears this"

When Ye Liuyun heard the scream, he distanced himself from the cries of agony.

He didn’t want to harm these people, but he needed to be ruthless enough to catch Emperor Xia’s attention. If not, the person would keep attacking him.

He hoped that Emperor Xia would heed the warning, keep a close eye on the person behind him, and put an end to the hidden threats.

Emperor Xia was blocking the entrance to the place where the Grand Emperor was in seclusion.

The Grand Emperor, somehow informed about the situation, attempted to rush out and confront Ye Liuyun, only to be stopped by Emperor Xia.

"You doing this will lead Ye Liuyun to wage war against the royal family!" Emperor Xia said sternly. ƒгeewebnovёl.com

"What about our dignity if he besieges the Imperial City, killing the families of high-ranking officials?!" The Grand Emperor shouted in anger.

"Everything has a reason. If you hadn’t made secret moves, why would he act like this?" Emperor Xia confronted him.

"So what? If the ruler orders the subordinate’s death, he has no choice but to die!" The Grand Emperor said indifferently.

Emperor Xia even began to suspect that the Grand Emperor was losing his senses. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm

He said helplessly, "That depends on who the subordinate is! Ye Liuyun is a powerful frontier lord with considerable influence throughout the Central Continent!"

"Humph! Wasn’t all that because we allowed it? If we hadn’t given him opportunities, could he have achieved what he has today?" The Grand Emperor said with bitterness.

"Talking about the past won’t change anything," Emperor Xia replied, not wanting to explain that Ye Liuyun had developed his power based on his own abilities.

He firmly stated, "You cannot touch Ye Liuyun anymore. You won’t be his match either!"

"Ridiculous! Except for the Burial God, how many people in the entire Central Continent would dare to say I’m not their match?" The Grand Emperor sneered.

"Ye Liuyun is one of them. You can’t fight him in a direct confrontation!" Emperor Xia said calmly.

What? Is there an even greater force behind him?" the Grand Emperor asked.

Emperor Xia nodded, "Ye Liuyun’s patronus mark is that of the God of War. He has already taken all the resources left by the God of War for his use! It means the God of War certainly approves of him!"

"What? Did he take the resources? Why didn’t you take them back? Just because he has a connection with the God of War? The God of War is unknown, so what does it matter?" the Grand Emperor questioned.

"It’s too late now! He must have used up all those resources by now." Emperor Xia sighed, feeling that the Grand Emperor was being overly greedy.

"I may not know where the God of War is, but I’m sure, as long as something happens to Ye Liuyun, the God of War will definitely intervene!"

Emperor Xia pointed upwards, indicating the God Realm.

Upon hearing this, the Grand Emperor calmed down.

"Does that mean Ye Liuyun also has the key to the God Realm?" The Grand Emperor inquired.

"No, he doesn’t. The key to the God Realm has never been inside the secret realm. Inside the secret realm, there are only some cultivation resources left behind by the God of War. Ye Liuyun’s powerful physique is proof that he utilized those resources. At least, you can’t kill him now; you can only provoke his retaliation!" Emperor Xia calmly analyzed.

After Ye Liuyun and the others left the secret realm the last time, Emperor Xia sent people back into the secret realm to investigate. They discovered the opening at the feet of the stone statue, confirming that Ye Liuyun had taken the resources.

However, Emperor Xia had no desire to covet Ye Liuyun’s fortune, nor did he intend to snatch it away.

But he did confirm Ye Liuyun’s relationship with the God of War through this incident.
