"How could this be? No, no, no!"
The man in black came to his senses, his expression a mask of panic and despair as he scrambled toward the back courtyard. This time, City Lord Guang didn’t stop him, for the City Lord himself had been left utterly aghast by the incident.
"How could this have happened? Does he really kill just anyone?" City Lord Guang murmured in astonishment. Wu Tian had killed the Regent King, which secretly pleased King Xiuyuan, who wouldn’t have genuinely wanted Wu Tian dead for it. Then Wu Tian killed Wangshi Daozuo and a large group of court officials. That enraged King Xiuyuan, but City Lord Guang believed that once he revealed Wu Tian was the successor to *that* man, even King Xiuyuan would have to show some deference.
But now, Wu Tian had slaughtered the last remaining male heir of the royal family!
Heavens! King Xiuyuan will surely show his true colors now! He must be boiling with killing intent, absolutely determined to kill Wu Tian. How could he have the audacity to kill even Yulang? Could it be...
City Lord Guang took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down as an idea formed in his mind: Wutian Celestial Emperor was still alive. He hadn’t perished. That had to be the source of Wu Tian’s confidence. At this thought, City Lord Guang was overjoyed. If that were true, it would be wonderful. He would even consider joining the Heavenless Gate himself.
「In the back courtyard...」
"My Prince!" the man in black cried out, utterly panicked. He reached Yulang’s corpse and saw the gaping, bloody hole in his chest. It was a horrifying sight, completely empty of all internal organs.
"Such a vicious blow!" the man in black roared in fury. "An unforgivable sin! That Wu Tian is an affront to Heaven itself!"
"Can you stop your infernal yelling?" the little girl said as she walked up, annoyed. She hated being disturbed more than anything.
"Who are you?" the man in black demanded coldly.
"Hmph!" The little girl puffed out her chest and stood with her hands clasped behind her back. "You just said my dad committed an unforgivable sin. You still don’t know who I am?"
"It’s you." The man in black’s rage flared. With Yulang dead, his own bright future was gone. He doubted he could defeat Wu Tian himself, but his heart burned with a fury that was unbearable if not vented. Gritting his teeth, he stopped thinking and lunged straight for the little girl.
"I’ll kill you!" The Wu Ji Xing Huang Flag appeared, manifesting Myriad Golden Lotuses. It was an unbreakable shield from which all evil recoiled, impervious to all laws.
"How can this be? Impossible!" the man in black yelled, his punch landing on the apricot-yellow flag to no effect whatsoever.
The next moment, while he was still stunned, the little girl threw a punch. Her fist crackled with the power of wind and clouds. In this realm, the punch was blessed by the Empress’s protection.
ARGH!
The punch landed squarely, leaving the man in black with a black eye.
"This is evil, just too evil!" the man in black panicked. He immediately turned and fled without a second thought, not daring to show his face again.
「On the streets...」
"Have you heard? Prince Yulang... he’s... he’s dead."
"I heard about it, too."

"So that’s how it is. That explains everything," Jian Xiaotian sneered, his eyes brimming with killing intent. So Ye War God had a motive. The Great Elder must have been killed by him. It seems we haven’t wronged him after all.
