A strong will of an Emperor was born in this world. It descended from below and pressed down on the three of them like a divine mountain. It was as if it was suppressing the power in their bodies, rendering them unable to resist at all.
At the same time, in the other two directions, several silhouettes flew out as well. Their expressions were as sharp as lightning as they stared at Di Zhangkong with incomparably cold gazes.
These two figures were impressively from Seal Heavenly Palace and Ice God's Palace.
They had already arrived at the Sacred Isle, but they didn't dare to get too close to Mo Lishang's group. They were afraid that they would attract too much attention, so they only observed from the shadows.
The experts from the various powers stared at the two groups of people as a grave expression appeared on their faces.
Previously, when Mo Shan came out, they didn't really pay much attention to him. However, now that so many people had appeared out of nowhere and were hiding in the dark, it was only when Di Zhangkong made his move that they were alarmed.
This meant that the origins of these people might not be ordinary, and they didn't want others to know of their existence.
Moreover, Mo Shan and these two groups of people probably knew each other and probably came from the same place.
Looking at the scene before him, a profound meaning appeared in the depths of Tian Shu's eyes. He was naturally able to guess where those people came from. It seemed that what was coming would eventually come, and it was difficult to stop them.
Di Zhangkong's eyes swept over the people from the Ice God's Palace s and Seal Heavenly Palace s. With a sharp glint in his eyes, he said, "You two are indeed from the same group. Speak, who are you?"
"Di Zhangkong, what are you trying to do?" If the Holy Son were to die at the hands of Di Zhangkong, he simply couldn't imagine how infuriated Palace Lord would be.
Thus, he was ready to save Mo Lishang even if he had to sacrifice his own life.
"I don't want to do anything, but if you don't explain clearly, I can't guarantee that they will be able to live on in the next moment." Since he was already certain that Shifeng's death had something to do with them, there was no need for him to worry about anything else.
All of these people would have to pay for Shifeng's death.
As the Lord of the Wu Clan, Di Zhangkong was naturally extremely powerful. He was a Saint of the Fifth Order, on the same level as Lord of Gods' Palace of the Nine Regions.
Even though there were many Saints here, he was still one of the top.
Only the few people in the sky could suppress him. As for the others, they could only be on par with him. The vast majority of them were no match for him.
As for Zhou You and the others who were sent to protect Mo Lishang and the rest, they were only First or Second Order Saint level experts. The difference between them and Di Zhangkong was too great, they weren't on the same level.
The countenances of Zhou You and the rest turned extremely unsightly when they heard these words. At this moment, a thunderous sound erupted in the air as the gazes of the crowd shifted in that direction. This was none other than the battle between Di Xu and Mo Shan.
The entire space was filled with the dazzling light of an emperor. Di Xu's body was surrounded by it as he stared at the space in front of him. An old figure stood there, looking extremely miserable as blood dripped from the corners of his mouth.
With the support of the King's Will, the combat power that Di Xu unleashed was extremely strong. Although Mo Shan had trained in it for a longer time, his talent was relatively average, so it was hard for him to defend against Di Xu's attack.
"Since you all are unwilling to reveal it, then don't blame me for being cold-blooded and heartless!" He raised his palm as if he was about to attack Mo Lishang and the other two.
Mo Lishang and the others were pale, as if their hearts were covered by a layer of death haze.
"Please wait, Monarch."
At this moment, an aged voice suddenly rang out, causing Di Zhangkong's palms to freeze in midair.
The gazes of the spectators all froze because the person who spoke, was actually Tianshu Zi.
"What does a True Lord mean by this?" Di Zhangkong turned his gaze to Tianshu Zi, his brows furrowed slightly. Previously, he was unwilling to help, but now, he had no choice but to intervene in this matter?
"The Monarch, as the leader of a clan, is also an expert that stands at the peak of Boundless Sea. It would be disgraceful to hold onto a junior like this." Master Tianshu said lightly, as if he was standing in front of an onlooker to express his grievances for Mo Lishang and the other two.
"The True Lord said just now, the Xia Wang Jie did not bother with worldly affairs and was unwilling to help me find that traitor. I respect the True Lord, so how should I deal with these people? I hope the True Lord will respect me as well." He suddenly felt a trace of doubt in his heart. True Monarch Tianshu wasn't willing to help him find these people, and was instead asking for mercy on their behalf. Could it be that he knew these people?
Upon seeing this, a look of contemplation appeared on the faces of the crowd.
From Di Zhangkong's perspective, what he did was understandable. Even though he was somewhat of a bully, the cultivation world was never fair. The strong ruled the weak, and whoever had the most power would have the right to speak.
Since his most treasured disciple had been killed, he naturally had a reason to pay for it.
However, Master Tianshu actually spoke up for those people, so things were not as simple as they seemed on the surface.
If Di Zhangkong insisted on doing so, then he wouldn't give face to Master Tianshu. In the future, it would be difficult for Di Family to obtain good fortune in Xia Wang Jie, and he might even be targeted by people from other powers. This situation would occur again.
"Old senior, this action of yours seems to have gone too far." Another voice rang out. This voice came from above, and it belonged to none other than the Eastern Emperor.
"Xia Wang Jie has never cared about the battles between the various powers, transcending beyond everything else. As such, all the powers fear the Xia Wang Jie, so why should the true Monarch speak up for them?"
As the sound of his voice faded, the expressions of many people changed. They could faintly sense that something was out of the ordinary.
Eastern Emperor Tian was one of the strongest people present and his words were of extraordinary weight. Moreover, the words he said earlier seemed to be on Di Family's side and contained a hint of accusation towards Master Tianshu.
Since his position was so high, then he should not bother with matters outside.
Tian Shu cast a glance at the Eastern Emperor. He had thought that Di Zhangkong would reject his offer, but he didn't expect that the Eastern Emperor would also interfere in this matter.
The gazes of the crowd shifted to Tianshu Zi, as similar thoughts flashed through their minds as Di Zhangkong. Could it be that Master Tianshu knew of the origins of these people?
Otherwise, why would they plead for them if they weren't related to each other?
There had been so many heaven's pride level experts who had fallen in Xia Wang Jie, but even they had not seen Master Tianzhu speak up for anyone.
It was not only them who felt doubt. Even Tian Xuanzi and the others looked at Tian Shu with hidden intentions in their eyes. It looked like this matter was not as simple as they had imagined.
Tianshu Zi had always been cautious in his actions, and since he had spoken, he must have his reasons.
"These people who have obtained the inheritance of the Divine Palace in the Ling Mountain are equivalent to my Xia Wang Jie's disciples. This old man naturally has to step in and stop the way the Monarch has treated my Xia Wang Jie's disciples." Tian Shu spoke again, but his tone was still calm, causing others to be unable to discern his thoughts.
"Disciple of the Xia Wang Jie?" A strange expression appeared on Di Zhangkong's face. After obtaining the Deities Templar's inheritance, could one be considered a disciple of the Xia Wang Jie?
For a reason like that, it was a little too perfunctory.
"It seems like Master Tianzhu truly wants to save these few people." Many people understood in their hearts that if it wasn't so, why would Master Tianzhu say such words?
"Don't say anymore, True Lord. I will definitely kill these people!" Di Zhangkong spoke in a domineering tone, as though he had made up his mind that no one would be able to stop him.
"How dare you!" Zhou You coldly snorted as he stepped forwards. The other participants all had powerful auras radiating from their bodies, locking onto Di Zhangkong, as though they wanted to fight to the death with him.
If the Holy Son were to fall, there would no longer be a need for them to remain in this world.
At this moment, Tian Shu's gaze suddenly froze. After which, he turned to Di Zhangkong and said, "As long as I agree to find them, the Emperor will release these three."
After hearing what Tianshu Zi said, a sharp glint of light flickered in Di Zhangkong's eyes. In that case, his guess was right!
The reason why Tian Shu rejected his request earlier was because he wanted to protect that person. Now that these people were in his hands, he had no choice but to hand them over.
"What a 'unworldly' Xia Wang Jie, I have finally witnessed it today!" The corners of Di Zhangkong's lips curled up in a mocking smile. Obviously, he was very dissatisfied with Tianshu Zi's actions.
"True Monarch Tianshu is actually protecting a junior!" Many of the people present were shocked, and their eyes revealed a look of disbelief.
Everyone respected him, not only because of his profound cultivation base, but also because of his convincing demeanor. He had spread his dao throughout the world, and he didn't favor any of the transcendent powers.
What kind of person would be able to get the protection of an expert like Master Tianshu and kill Di Shifeng?
A trace of curiosity suddenly arose in their hearts. They really wanted to meet that person.
The Eastern Emperor looked at Tian Shu, his eyes filled with an unfathomable depth. The current Tian Shu, seemed to be a completely different person from the past.
"Bring them out, True Lord. As long as we see them, I can spare them." The resentment in his heart had yet to subside.
Tian Shu slightly nodded his head, after which, a strand of the Great Dao's energy permeated the air, his figure instantly disappearing from where he stood.
After a short moment, an old figure appeared in the depths of the Abyss of Samsara. It was the person who rushed over from the outside world, Tian Shu.
Qin Xuan was currently in the middle of his cultivation. He had already sensed it with his mind the moment the Heavenly Cardinal appeared. His heart trembled slightly. As expected, he was still unable to conceal it?
Soon after, Qin Xuan opened his eyes, looked towards Tian Shu Zi in the sky, and said with a smile: "Senior, are you here to take me away?"
"The situation outside is grim. Are you ready?" Tian Shu asked.
"I'm ready at all times." Qin Xuan smiled confidently, as if he was looking down on the world.
Seeing the smile on Qin Xuan's face, Master Tianshu's eyes revealed a hint of gratification. He nodded and said, "Then let's go."
Saying that, he waved his sleeves and an incredibly strong spatial energy wrapped around Qin Xuan's body. The two of them instantly disappeared from the Abyss of Samsara.
