281: Chapter 281 The Panic of the Beings of Wutianzhou! The Profound Meaning of the Saint King-Level Sword is Finally Perfected!

Ye Chen did not linger over the ruins of the Imperial Clan Cheng Family and directly tore through space to leave.

The cleanup work for Wutian Prefecture was about to begin, and he needed to return to prepare properly.

It would not be long before the remaining Immortal Lineages in Wutian Prefecture would inevitably come knocking on his door.

That would be the moment to settle everything and ensure that Wutian Kingdom had no more enemies within Wutian Prefecture!

Not long after Ye Chen left, several figures carrying powerful auras arrived rapidly from the distance.

They had all just heard the massive commotion and come to the Imperial Clan Cheng Family to investigate.

Previously, indescribably intense roaring sounds had emanated from where the Imperial Clan Cheng Family was located.

It was as if two Quasi-Emperor powerhouses were engaged in a great battle, yet it had not lasted very long.

Combining this with all the events that had occurred in Wutian Prefecture recently, they all had a bold conjecture.

The Wutian Empire's guardian powerhouse had gone to the Imperial Clan Cheng Family to settle accounts!

The various powerhouses stood above the ruins of the Imperial Clan Cheng Family, looking down at the tragic scene below, all with expressions of realization.

It was truly as they had guessed; the Imperial Clan Cheng Family had been destroyed, destroyed before they had arrived.

The intense roaring sound from just a moment ago must have been that guardian powerhouse of Wutian Kingdom striking again.

He had used thunderous means to break through the Imperial Clan Cheng Family's protective formation and then reduced the entire Imperial Clan Cheng Family to ruins.

An Immortal Lineage that had been passed down for endless years had once again met its end.

This was the second Immortal Lineage in their Wutian Prefecture to be destroyed in recent times.

Moreover, they had a very strong premonition that this might not be the last Immortal Lineage to be destroyed.

Given the temperament of that Wutian Kingdom guardian powerhouse, if he did not die, he would certainly continue to strike.

Next, Wutian Prefecture was highly likely to face two extreme phenomena.

First, the Wutian Kingdom guardian powerhouse would strike repeatedly, destroying or severely damaging the remaining four Immortal Lineages.

Second, the remaining four Immortal Lineages would join forces to surround and kill the Wutian Kingdom guardian powerhouse, slaying him!

Regarding this, a strong sense of curiosity arose in the hearts of all the powerhouses.

They wanted to know, in this battle of heritage that affected the entire Wutian Prefecture, would the Wutian Kingdom guardian powerhouse win?

Or would the Immortal Lineages that had been passed down for long ages within their Wutian Prefecture win?

But regardless of who won, the landscape of their Wutian Prefecture had already undergone a heaven-shaking change at this moment!

After observing for a while, the various powerhouses left one after another, bringing the news to all parts of Wutian Prefecture.

They keenly noticed that the Imperial Lei Clan, Desolate God Holy Sect, as well as the Imperial Clan Xuan Family and Imperial Clan Bai Family, had not sent any powerhouses.

It seemed these four Immortal Lineages had long since guessed that the Imperial Clan Cheng Family had been destroyed.

However, not a whisper had emerged from these four Immortal Lineages, and it was unknown what preparations they were making.

Wutian Prefecture, a storm is truly coming!

Very quickly, news of the Imperial Clan Cheng Family's destruction spread throughout the entire Wutian Prefecture in the dark of night.

Even though it was late at night, it could not stop the intense discussions among the living beings within Wutian Prefecture.

An Immortal Lineage had been destroyed again; originally, there were six great Immortal Lineages within their Wutian Prefecture.

First, the Imperial Jin Clan perished, a declining Immortal Lineage that had no Quasi-Emperor powerhouse sitting in command.

But the next Immortal Lineage to be destroyed made everyone's jaws drop.

The Imperial Clan Cheng Family was a powerful Immortal Lineage with two whole Quasi-Emperor powerhouses sitting in command.

Logically speaking, no matter which Immortal Lineage was destroyed, it shouldn't have been the turn of the Imperial Clan Cheng Family.

But the reality was just that; the Imperial Clan Cheng Family had become the second Immortal Lineage to be destroyed!

At the beginning, the Cheng Family's Quasi-Emperor Cheng Ye was killed and fell by a mysterious powerhouse, causing a huge sensation.

Then, the mysterious powerhouse revealed his identity, and the Cheng Family's remaining Quasi-Emperor powerhouse, Quasi-Emperor Cheng Kun, went to seek revenge and was also killed.

After that, it was the Immortal Lineage Cheng Family, following in the footsteps of the Imperial Jin Clan.

It became the second Immortal Lineage destroyed by the Wutian Kingdom guardian powerhouse, which no one had expected!

The more perceptive living beings of Wutian Prefecture immediately grasped the key point in this.

If the Wutian Kingdom guardian powerhouse were to destroy all the Immortal Lineages within their Wutian Prefecture.

Then wouldn't their Wutian Prefecture decline from a top-tier prefecture to a second-rate, first-class prefecture?

After all, that Wutian Kingdom guardian powerhouse was not a powerhouse of their Wutian Prefecture.

No matter how strong he was, it had little to do with their Wutian Prefecture, and he could not be categorized as one of their Wutian Prefecture's powerhouses.

Once that guardian powerhouse had avenged Wutian Kingdom and left Wutian Prefecture.

Their Wutian Prefecture would, in the true sense, be left without a single Quasi-Emperor powerhouse.

A Wutian Prefecture that had lost its Quasi-Emperor powerhouses would no longer deserve the title of a top-tier prefecture!

Realizing this, many of the living beings of Wutian Prefecture were shaken to their core and began to panic.

In their daily lives, they were all proud to be living beings of the top-tier prefecture, Wutian Prefecture.

When they met people from other prefectures, they were always full of pride because they came from a top-tier great prefecture.

If they lost this status, they would not have enough standing when traveling to other prefectures in the Eastern Region.

Furthermore, a Wutian Prefecture without Quasi-Emperor powerhouses sitting in command would also cause the Heavenly Dao to withdraw a portion of its Spiritual Qi endowment.

This would cause the concentration of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi in Wutian Prefecture to plummet, making the environment for cultivation deteriorate.

This was a heaven-shaking event that affected the entire Wutian Prefecture, concerning all the living beings within it!

The feeling of panic, spread by word of mouth and various transmissions, took root in the hearts of all the living beings in Wutian Prefecture.

Involuntarily, the living beings of Wutian Prefecture began to worry.

They worried that without Immortal Lineages and without Quasi-Emperor powerhouses sitting in command within their Wutian Prefecture.

Wutian Prefecture would plummet from its current height and fall directly to the bottom!

Ye Chen was unaware of these matters.

After destroying the Imperial Clan Cheng Family, he returned to the capital city of Wutian Kingdom.

He needed to wait, to wait for the declaration of war from the three Immortal Lineages other than the Imperial Lei Clan.

He was certain that after the Imperial Clan Cheng Family was destroyed, those three Immortal Lineages would no longer continue to wait.

Because they felt a sense of crisis, an intense sense of crisis, fearing they might be the next one.

This was the feeling he wanted, to make them bring more Quasi-Emperor powerhouses.

To allow him to make a clean sweep, devour more powerhouses, and break through his Spiritual Qi Cultivation Base to the Quasi-Emperor realm!

Time passed; soon, the moonlight gradually dimmed, and a great sun slowly rose in the east.

"Dong! Dong! Dong!"

Outside the palace where Ye Chen was, there came a sound of knocking on the door.

Before he could respond, a familiar voice sounded from outside the palace.

"Young Master, Ancestor Su Wanhe requests an audience; I have urgent matters to report to the Young Master!"

Ye Chen slowly opened his eyes from his meditation, his expression somewhat curious.

What could Ancestor Su Wanhe have to see him about at this time?

Could it be that the Imperial Clan Xuan Family, Imperial Clan Bai Family, and the Desolate God Holy Sect had found reinforcements?

But according to his expectations, they shouldn't have been able to bring in reinforcements so quickly!

Shaking his head, Ye Chen gave up on his random thoughts, and his calm voice sounded.

"Enter!"

After a night of meditation, with the help of the imperial jade seal's power, his Saint King-grade Sword Intent had finally reached Perfection.

It was just a pity that it had only reached the Perfection of Saint King-grade Profound Truth.

Regarding the Quasi-Emperor Law power beyond the Saint King-grade Profound Truth, he had not grasped any clues at all.

Time was, after all, too short; if he could have been given a bit more time to meditate.

He would definitely have been able to comprehend the Quasi-Emperor level Sword Law and achieve a qualitative Breakthrough!

"Boom!"

The palace doors slowly opened, and Ancestor Su Wanhe walked in from outside the hall with a respectful expression.

Before he had truly approached Ye Chen's side, he respectfully reported.

"Young Master, rumors are now rampant throughout Wutian Prefecture; I ask that the Young Master appear to dispel the rumors!"
