405: Chapter 415 Heavenly Palace Execution Order! Deducing the secrets of heaven points to the Zhu family!

In the center of the Brilliant Star Domain, a magnificent palace floated deep within the starry sky—the [Lingxiao Heavenly Palace].

This was the symbol of the highest power in the entire central Star Domain, and usually, no one dared to approach it even by half a step.

Yet, at this moment, inside the Lingxiao Heavenly Palace, over a dozen top-tier experts who were usually elusive and rarely seen had gathered.

The Pavilion Master of the Wanbao Pavilion, the surviving Grand Elder of the Taiyi Sword Sect, the heads of various financial magnates... they all sat on both sides of the great hall with livid faces.

"This is going too far! Simply going too far!"

The Wanbao Pavilion Pavilion Master slammed his hand down, shattering the jade table beside him, trembling with rage: "These wild brats from outside have absolutely no regard for the law! They smashed my underground trading market, snatched my slave materials, and even demanded some Void Realm clues... This is taking the rules of our entire Brilliant Star Domain and trampling them into the dirt!"

"Indeed! These little beasts are using the guise of looking for someone to meddle in everything, cutting off so many of our revenue streams!" The Grand Elder of the Taiyi Sword Sect also gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with resentment.

"They must be severely punished! We must let them know who exactly calls the shots in this Brilliant Star Domain!"

The great hall was filled with righteous indignation.

Sitting in the main seat was the controller of the most powerful financial magnate in the Brilliant Star Domain—Old Master Jin.

He was also the only supreme expert among those present who had truly stepped into the Late Stage of the Great Emperor Realm.

Old Master Jin narrowed his eyes slightly, a sinister glint flashing in his cloudy, aged eyes: "Although these young people act arrogantly, their strength is indeed impressive. My people have investigated, and it seems... they all have the surname Su!"

"Su? Which reclusive great clan in the Great Thousand Star Domain has the surname Su?" The crowd looked at each other, all shaking their heads.

"Who cares what their surname is! Even if they really have a Great Emperor backing them, can they possibly contend against our entire Lingxiao Alliance at the same time?!"

"Well said! We must absolutely not let this precedent be set!"

Old Master Jin slowly stood up, and a massive, suffocating Great Emperor pressure instantly enveloped the entire Heavenly Palace.

He did not care at all how many heinous deeds the people below him usually committed; he only cared that the exploitative order and absolute authority established by the Jin family had been provoked!

"Since these juniors do not understand the rules and vainly attempt to challenge the order we have established, then this old man will take action personally to teach them what it means to show reverence!"

Old Master Jin waved his large sleeve, his voice as cold as a frozen cavern in winter:

"Transmit my decree! Immediately issue the [Heavenly Palace Execution Order]!"

"Issue a Star Domain-wide wanted notice for these descendants with the surname Su! Dead or alive!"

...

On the other side. In a mysterious cave heaven completely isolated from the outside world.

The Great Emperor Wandu, having lost all his foundations, stood before a massive star chessboard, his expression dark and gloomy to the extreme.

Opposite the chessboard sat an old man with the demeanor of an immortal.

This person was one of the very few experts in the Great Thousand Star Domain who was proficient in the arts of Heavenly Dao divination—the Divination Great Emperor, Zhuge Qingming.

It was precisely through the vast network of relationships he had accumulated that the Great Emperor Wandu was able to pay a heavy price to invite this existence.

"Great Emperor Wandu, I cannot help you divine the people who destroyed your Sect..."

Zhuge Qingming looked at a white piece that had just shattered on the chessboard, his brows tightly locked, his eyes filled with a trace of deep wariness.

"Zhuge Qingming, do you think that just because my Sect was destroyed, I can no longer afford the payment for divination?!" The Great Emperor Wandu' expression instantly turned extremely unpleasant.

Zhuge Qingming shook his head.

"Not so! Not so!"

"The people who destroyed your Sect involve Karma that is too great... so great that even the Heavenly Secrets have been forcibly shielded. If I were to forcibly pry into it, I would surely suffer the backlash of Heavenly condemnation."

The Great Emperor Wandu' breath hitched upon hearing this.

For the Karma to be something that even a Divination Great Emperor like Zhuge Qingming would be so wary of, could the backer behind the other party be at the Late Stage of the Great Emperor Realm?!

That's not right! Even if it were the Late Stage of the Great Emperor Realm, Zhuge Qingming would still be able to divine some clues from the side; he would definitely not refuse him directly, to the point where even the chess pieces shattered.

The Great Emperor Wandu was filled with unwillingness and hatred. The foundation he had painstakingly managed for ten million years and the immortal medicine for his Late Stage Breakthrough had been destroyed in an instant; no matter what, he could not swallow this anger!

"However, do not be anxious. As the saying goes, every cause has an effect. Although I cannot calculate who they are, I can help you divine what cause led to the result of your Sect being destroyed today."

Zhuge Qingming waved his feather fan, and the black and white chess pieces floated in mid-air once again.

One could see profound Heavenly Dao divine light shining from his fingertips as the black and white pieces began to intertwine and collide on the chessboard, evolving into various complex fate layouts.

A moment later.

"Clack." As the final two pieces landed, the entire chessboard froze in place.

"Ninety-nine... What a strange fate?!" Zhuge Qingming looked at the divination on the chessboard and murmured softly.

However, when he heard this number, the Great Emperor Wandu' expression changed drastically, and he stood up from his seat abruptly!

It makes sense. Everything is explained now!

Number Ninety-nine was that supreme medicinal ingredient who could withstand a hundred poisons without dying, whom he regarded as the opportunity for his Late Stage Breakthrough!

It was precisely because he ordered Vice Sect Master He Yuan to send people to capture Number Ninety-nine, and received a report the moment the person was captured, that he felt at ease leaving on a long journey to find the last few Emperor-Grade supplementary medicines.

So it turned out, the cause that brought about this catastrophic disaster was actually because they went to snatch that consumable, provoking an accident!

But immediately after, the Great Emperor Wandu began to go crazy. The Myriad Poison Demon Sect had been razed to the ground, Vice Sect Master He Yuan had died in battle, and all clues were broken.

He didn't even know what that Number Ninety-nine consumable looked like; in the vast sea of stars, how could he talk about finding someone?

If he could not find Number Ninety-nine, his hope for a Late Stage Breakthrough would truly be completely shattered!

The Great Emperor Wandu stared fixedly at Zhuge Qingming, his tone urgent: "Brother Zhuge, can you help me divine once more, where that cause is located now?"

Zhuge Qingming picked up his teacup, took a light sip, and tapped the edge of the chessboard rhythmically with his fingers, not responding immediately.

Seeing this, the Great Emperor Wandu gritted his teeth, endured the pain, and took out a Saint-Grade Medicinal Pill that exuded a rich medicinal fragrance from the depths of his storage ring, placing it on the chessboard.

"Since Brother Wan Du is so polite, I will risk suffering damage and pry into the Heavenly Secrets for you one more time!"

Zhuge Qingming put away the Medicinal Pill, waved his large sleeve, and the chess pieces flew rapidly across the chessboard once again.

A full stick of incense time passed, his face turned slightly pale, and sweat appeared on his forehead.

"Ding." A black piece landed steadily on a certain star position on the chessboard.

Zhuge Qingming wiped his sweat, slowly opened his eyes, and looked at the Great Emperor Wandu with a profound gaze.

"Six years later..."

"Luzhou, the Zhu Family!"

"The person you are looking for will appear there."
