Chapter 1972: Chapter 66: Coming to Kill
“Palace Master?”
Deep within the ruins, two storms seemed to crush the entire void like an Evil Dragon, mixing countless stones and black debris, roaring and rolling forward.
But the astounding blaze behind it finally overshadowed the storm’s momentum, burning fiercely, so intense that even through the distant void, Fanming’s feathers faintly emitted a scorched smell…
Hearing Yun Qi’s astonished voice, Chong Hua squinted slightly, feeling somewhat surprised.
According to Ji Wujiu’s earlier account, there was quite a distance between here and the Jade Pot Realm, the Palace Master of Red Sky Palace was heading to Jade Pot Realm and would take some more time to return.
However, the opponent’s return was much earlier than expected.
“Did they sense Red Sky Palace’s destruction, or…”
Chong Hua glanced around, suddenly becoming alert.
The two storms rolling over suddenly accelerated, swiftly charging in his direction!
The gust moved Fanming’s feathers, making a loud rustling sound!
“Palace Master…My Lord, I will immediately go and speak to him. He did not intend to offend you, please forgive him.”
Yun Qi felt the fierce hot wind, his face changed, and a touch of guilt and hesitance surfaced in his heart. He then quickly turned to Chong Hua.
Chong Hua remained expressionless, not saying a word.
But beneath him, Fanming had already flapped his wings, rapidly flying back in retreat.
He narrowly evaded the surprise assaults of the two storms and fire waves.
“Hmm? Quite capable…Are you the one who destroyed my Red Sky Palace?”
An eerie cold voice, filled with raw killing intent, rose from the ruins nearby.
Though spoken as a guess, the tone carried certainty.
Almost simultaneously, seven figures flew out from different directions from the ruins, their faces filled with rage and murderous intent, faintly encircling Fanming.
Glaring at Chong Hua and Yun Qi on Fanming’s back, especially Yun Qi, in fury:
“Traitor! You dare betray your Realm Clan and side with the enemy!”
“Seeking glory by betraying your master! Clan traitor!”
“Once the Palace Master captures this villain, we’ll definitely dismember you!”
“Yun Chi, Yun Jian…”
Seeing these people, Yun Qi initially felt excited, but upon hearing their words, Yun Qi’s heart was struck.
As he scanned past these individuals, the former allies of his clan now looked at him with deep disappointment and indifference, pain and hatred.
The slight hesitation remaining in his heart gradually turned into resolve, his expression darkened as he looked at them and solemnly said:
“There are many things you don’t understand, but what I do is for the future of all life in Red Sky Palace. My conscience is clear!”
“A clear conscience, indeed!”
A voice snapped from afar and grew rapidly louder.
In the ruins, a short middle-aged man in a gray robe walked through the fire.
The fire flowed like waves, roiling angrily.
He stood at the forefront of the firewaves, looking directly at Chong Hua from afar.
His gaze briefly paused on Chong Hua’s golden double pupils before moving past him toward Yun Qi, his eyes carrying a tint of cruelty:
“Cowardly and fearful, forsaking your Realm Clan! Willing to be the lapdog of a tribal enemy, haha, a clear conscience, is this your clear conscience?”
“Palace Master!”
Five Great Cultivators of Red Sky Palace greeted respectfully.
“Palace Master…”
Yun Qi’s face turned pale.
Standing on Fanming’s head, despite being a Great Cultivator of Staged Dao Domain Class V, at this moment he felt unstable, feeling weak beneath him.
A surge of sadness overtook his heart.
As fellow clan members walked together all these years, was there truly no trust left?
If it were for his own sake, would he have bowed and served others as masters?
Is the Sea of Chaos Realm really so vast that it cannot accommodate him?
Silently, he looked at them, and suddenly spoke seriously:
“Palace Master, Yun Chi, Yun Jian…please surrender to the master!”
“The master is magnanimous and won’t stoop to your level…”
“Enough! You’re nearing your end and dare to speak such nonsense! Yun Qi, it seems you’ve truly decided to be the dog of our tribal enemy!”
A cultivator from Red Sky Palace couldn’t help but curse.
And the eyes of Red Sky Palace Palace Master Yun Zaitian were filled with disappointment:
“Yun Qi…you are beyond salvation.”
“In that case, I will send you on your way first, as a comfort to the souls of countless lives and ancestors of Red Sky Palace!”
The fire waves rolled and surged underfoot, faintly forming the shape of a giant beast.
The remaining five Great Cultivators of Red Sky Palace also showed fierce expressions, eager to engage.
Seeing this, Yun Qi couldn’t help but feel a surge of sorrow.
He knew full well the strength of Yun Zaitian and these clansmen couldn’t match that of this mysterious master, yet he couldn’t prevent the tragic event.
This left him feeling particularly powerless.
But suddenly he thought of something, his expression solemn, saying:
“Wait! Palace…Yun Zaitian, how did you know from afar in the Jade Pot Realm that the master attacked Red Sky Palace? And set an ambush here?”
Yun Zaitian was about to strike, but upon hearing this, his eyes flickered briefly.
His gaze swept across Chong Hua and Yun Qi, suddenly sneering:
“I see…Are you expecting people from Hundred Ghost Mountain?”
Yun Qi felt a moment of hesitation.
Yun Zaitian then showed a mysterious cold smile, gently raised a hand, and clapped:
“They seem to trust you quite well!”
Chong Hua remained expressionless.
Yun Qi’s face changed.
