Chapter 108 108: Demonic Sword
The Emperor of the Sky Dynasty was inside the Royal Palace. His second son, the Crown Prince was with him.
The Crown Prince didn't say anything. However, he looked really down. He cherished his sister a lot. His sister was older than him, and also someone who cared for him the most. With his sister around, he always used to feel confident.
His sister was brave and righteous in his eyes. He knew that she wasn't a person who would poison Ming Yan. She had no need to do it after all, since Ming Yan wasn't the Crown Prince.
In his eyes, it was Ming Yan who tried to kill his sister. However, he still couldn't understand why Ming Yan died then? There was no way he would've killed himself, just to mess with everyone else!
It was as if there was another hand at play here!
He wasn't the only one who thought that either. The Sky Dynasty Emperor had the same thought.
Unfortunately, no matter how much he tried to convey his thoughts, he couldn't quench the third for revenge from Ming Yan's mother who was now even more angry to see her husband still siding with the Crown Prince!
It was as if all the cordialities were broken.
In their internal conflict, so many Warriors had died, on both sides!
Fortunately, the situation was somewhat under control as soon as the First Army returned.
Within a single day of their return, the First Army killed everyone who took part in this so-called rebellion!
In just a single day, multiple powerful clans had disappeared from the Sky Dynasty!
Even the clan of Ming Yan's mother was defeated. However, that Clan was also what caused the most damage to the First Army.
The First Army, which consisted of the strongest Warriors of the Sky Dynasty, had lost almost seventy percent of their forces in their fight with the Ye Clan that belonged to Ming Yan's mother!
Only about thirty percent of the First Army was left! Even though the Rebellion had almost ended, the losses of the Sky Dynasty were too many to count, and it was when they didn't even know that the Second and the Third Armies were already annihilated!
The Empress, and her father were sitting on their knees, before the Sky Emperor. Both their hands were tied behind their back, as they were kept on their knees.
The Emperor looked at his wife, who had caused so much damage to him. His eyes revealed no love. Instead, there was only anger and frustration on his face.
"You rebelled against the Dynasty, despite being a part of the Royalty! You harmed our citizens in your quest for revenge, without even trying to find out the truth. And you tried to assassinate the Next Monarch of the Dynasty! All these are crimes worth Execution! Do you accept your crimes?!"
The Emperor asked, gazing at the old man and the middle aged woman who were on their knees before him.
The Royal Court was filled with the remaining Heavenly Celestials from the first army. The Generals were still shaking their heads. This was such a perfect opportunity for them to take their revenge on the Eternal Dynasty, but because of their own men, they lost the opportunity!
Not only that, but they had also lost so many of their people in the process. It was only their loss, no matter what the outcome.
"Crime?" Ming Yan's mother glared at the Emperor. "You ask me that question while keeping a Criminal next to you? They assassinated my only son! If that's not a crime, then how did what I do become a Crime?!"
The Emperor rubbed his forehead in frustration. "I've heard enough of it. Execute them!"
His command filled the entire Royal Court. It was as if he didn't care about it anymore and just wanted it to be over with. He had many wives already and he didn't care about one who tried to go against him!
The Royal Executioner stepped forward, and raised his sword.
However, just as the Emperor was about to command him to do it, the ground started trembling as a loud explosion resounded.
The deafening sound made even the Emperor and the Heavenly Generals stunned.
Outside the Royal City, a giant crater could be seen on the ground!
Above the crater, Ye Han stood with a devilish grin on his lips. His Sword still had some remnant aura, as if he had just attacked.
Two Heavenly Celestials had tried to delay him. However, one of them was already missing. Only his blood could be seen in the center of the crater. As for the second Heaven Celestial, he was standing right at the edge of the crater. One of his arms was missing as well!
In the distance, Xu Shan observed the battle with an intrigued gaze. This kind of strength was surprising even to him.
It wasn't a strength that a Sky Celestial was supposed to possess! This strength... It didn't appear normal at all.
"Ye Han... Just who are you...?" Xu Shah muttered, gazing at the giant crater on the ground.
The more he came to know the people around him, the more stunned he became. First, there was the father who doted on him a little too much... To an extent that wasn't normal.
Then there was Ye Han, a person who was said to be found by the Emperor around twenty years ago, right around the time Xu Shan was born.
Xu Shan couldn't help but feel that something was amiss, but he just couldn't put a finger on it.
Ye Han wasn't the only person who was revealing his strength either. The Great Elder of the Celestial Palace was also doing a great job, protecting the Spatial Portal until it was complete!
If Ye Han was like the Demonic Sword that slashed down at heaven, then the Great Elder of the Celestial Palace was like a shield who had a really high defense. Both compliment each other well.
