Chapter 688: Chapter 691 Immortal Emperor’s Temper [First Update]

"What is he trying to do? Is he really going to kill us too?"

"How can he do this? We’re innocent people!"

As Wu Tian summoned the Vanquishing Heaven Seal, it soared into the sky and expanded rapidly. The common folk before the Royal Palace were stunned, then began to clamor in astonishment. When the royal family promised them gold to do this, they had thought it was a risk-free, surefire profit. Surely Wu Tian wouldn’t kill innocent people, would he? But when they saw Wu Tian preparing to strike, they panicked.

The Vanquishing Heaven Seal grew so large that it alarmed not only the people before the palace, but the entire capital of Qian Zhong Country. Even though it was broad daylight, the sky suddenly dimmed. Confused, they looked up and quickly discovered why. High in the firmament, the colossal Vanquishing Heaven Seal blotted out the sun. It hovered over the masses, still expanding, looking as if it would descend at any moment and smash everything into pulp.

"No!"

"We’re innocent civilians!"

"You can’t do this!" the people roared in protest.

"No, this isn’t how things were supposed to go!" The King of Qian Zhong’s pupils constricted, his face a mask of mortal terror. He looked toward Tian Jiao. The civil and military officials did the same.

"Tian Jiao, this was your plan! You have to take responsibility!"

"That’s right! Tell us what to do now!"

"Yes, what should we do?"

Just moments ago, these same people were praising Tian Jiao. Now they all blamed him. What kind of rotten idea was this? Now look what you’ve done! You’ve gotten us all killed!

"No, this isn’t how things were supposed to develop! It shouldn’t be like this!" Tian Jiao was also in disbelief. By all rights, Wu Tian should be afraid of public opinion and spare us. But to his shock, Wu Tian was utterly decisive in his intent to kill. Public opinion be damned. If he wanted you dead, not even the heavens could stop him.

Admit we’re wrong! We have to admit we’re wrong right now! Tian Jiao’s eyes lit up as an idea struck him. He immediately stepped out from beneath the palace walls and shouted, "Mr. Wu Tian, we were wrong! We shouldn’t have refused to admit our mistakes! Qian Zhong Country will issue a formal confession, proclaiming our crimes and our errors! Please, spare us!"

The King of Qian Zhong, along with his civil and military officials, followed suit. They no longer cared about face; survival was all that mattered.

Wu Tian heard them but only sneered. "No. I don’t want your apologies. I want you dead."

What? Hearing this, Tian Jiao and the others turned deathly pale.

Tian Jiao cried out, "Why? The one who offended you was Tianlong, not us!"

Wu Tian shook his head. "You used another as a weapon to kill. For that, you must pay the price."

"You..." Tian Jiao trembled violently. He thought his plan was flawless. Could it be that Wu Tian knew all along?

The King of Qian Zhong suddenly understood. SLAP! He struck Tian Jiao across the face. "You vile son! Tianlong is your own brother! How could you scheme against him?"

Seeing the situation was hopeless, Tian Jiao threw all caution to the wind and roared back, "My brother? He was cruel and inhumane; he deserved to die! And you? Have you ever treated me like a son? I am your eldest! When I was the Crown Prince, I was diligent and conscientious, so cautious I was afraid to take a single wrong step. I was restrained every single day. But what did you do? You still stripped me of my title!"

As he spoke, tears welled up in Tian Jiao’s eyes and streamed down his face. "It was you! You’re the one who caused all of this!" Tian Jiao accused, pointing at the King of Qian Zhong. "If you hadn’t favored Tianlong, ignoring the fact that he would become a tyrant, how could things have ever reached this point?"

The King of Qian Zhong was dumbfounded.

At that moment, the Vanquishing Heaven Seal finally began its descent. It tore through the air, shaking the very fabric of space and snapping the king and his officials back to their senses.

Wu Tian heard him but acted as if he hadn’t. A Five-Star Sect? So what? Heh.
