Chapter 2203: 2203. Intervention

“Ah! What the heck is this?” Baiye Qinghong exclaimed with a voice filled with fright.

It was known in the world that the only ones who could truly stop a Conferred God King were the God Monarchs. It was for this reason that Baiye Qinghong dared to act as she pleased without worrying about the consequences.

Yet, she had never expected the high-tier Celestial God she was confronting to have such a powerful artifact with him.

She felt as if the weight of the heavens was pressing down on her. It was a force that was comparable to the strength of a God Monarch. Even though she was a Conferred God King, she did not stand a chance against such a powerful force.

“I can’t die like this! Shatter… Shatter!”

Baiye Qinghong screamed with all her might as she furiously pumped her energy outward to stop the book above her. Ripples appeared in the sky as she forcefully drew in all the Anima of Yearning within the Sky of Linglong to protect herself.

In terms of individual prowess, a Conferred God King was not too different from an ordinary God King. The truth behind their strength lay in their ability to manipulate the Anima of Yearning within their conferred territory, turning it into their strength.

That effectively made them nigh invincible existences within their own conferred land.

But no matter how much energy Baiye Qinghong tapped into, she could not possibly hope to rival the strength of the heavens. The barrier that she had formed with the Anima of Yearning dissipated with little resistance.

Pu!

This had really left Baiye Qinghong utterly terrified.

In this instant, she was truly panicked.

She realized that if she did not do something to stop the book soon, there was a good chance that she would be reduced to minced meat within the next few breaths.

“S-spare my life! I have wronged you. I saw the concentrated energy within the pill and got greedy. I shouldn’t have tried to selfishly claim it! The truth is that I don’t know what pill it is and where it came from…”

Without any hesitation, Baiye Qinghong cast aside her reputation and admitted to her guilt. Between her reputation and her life, the latter was clearly the priority.

“Conferred God King Baiye tried to snatch the pill of another person?”

“She spoke with such gusto earlier that I really trusted her… To think that it was all an act!”

“I have viewed her as my goddess for the past few centuries, ever since I was just a twenty-year-old lad! I can’t believe that a proud Conferred God King would resort to something as despicable as this…”

“Hey, you also saw how much energy lies within that pill. Can you say for certain that you wouldn’t do the same as her if you were in her position?”

“T-this… I guess I can understand her rationale for doing that, but still…”

Those who were watching the situation with their Spiritual Perception were all taken aback.

Given how Baiye Qinghong had appeared right after the pill was captured, as well as how confident she had spoken all this while, everyone had swiftly been convinced that the pill was indeed hers. To think that she was the plunderer…

This admittance had effectively soiled her reputation as the goddess of countless men.

In the end, even Conferred God Kings were mortals. It was impossible for them to be completely devoid of greed.

“Your words mean nothing to me anymore. It’s always easy to express your regret after you realize the consequences of your own actions. I gave you a chance earlier, but you failed to grasp it. You have to take responsibility for your own decisions,” Zhang Xuan replied with utter nonchalance.

Even the worst villains in the world would unhesitatingly apologize if there was a sword pressed against their neck. What was the point of receiving such an apology?

Kacha!

With the previous upgrade of his Library of Heaven’s Path, the duration for which the golden page was able to remain materialized in the world increased yet again. Under Zhang Xuan’s will, it crashed down on Baiye Qinghong with greater force than before.

The latter swiftly succumbed under the pressure, and the bones all over her body began fracturing. Fresh blood spurted out of her every orifice, dyeing her body crimson.

As powerful as Conferred God Kings were, they had not surpassed the limitations of the heavens yet. Thus, they were powerless before it.

“Please hold on a moment!”

There was an abrupt pulse of wind, and another ravishing figure appeared in the area.

The other Conferred God King of the Sky of Linglong, Shangguan Yunwan!

“Baiye Qinghong is a Conferred God King chosen by Her Sovereignty herself. Your act of killing her will be vie^ blatant defiance toward Her Sovereignty’s authority! You have already made your point clear, so I ask of you to spare her life,” Shangguan Yunwan said.

“Are you threatening me in the name of your God Monarch?” Zhang Xuan glanced at Shangguan Yunwan coldly.

The eyes of the Conferred God Kings and God Monarch of the Sky of Linglong sure were convenient. While Baiye Qinghong was attempting to plunder his pill, they were blind enough not to see anything at all, allowing Baiye Qinghong to arrogantly act as she pleased.

Yet, when the tables were turned, they did not hesitate to ‘see’ and intervene.

What right did they have to ask him to compromise? Their strength?

Dream on!

“Even if I didn’t say anything, you should also know what I mean deep down. The honor of a God Monarch cannot be sullied,” Shangguan Yunwan said.

The God Monarchs were the strongest existences in the world. Baiye Qinghong was a person appointed by Fairy Linglong to serve as a Conferred God King to the Sky of Linglong, so the only one who could hold Baiye Qinghong responsible for her actions should be Fairy Linglong.

The act of killing Baiye Qinghong could be viewed as an attempt to challenge Fairy Linglong’s authority.

“I do understand what you are saying. However, to confer a person like that as her Conferred God King, it doesn’t seem like Fairy Linglong is a good judge of character. Leaving such a person to manage the Sky of Linglong is exactly what will sully Fairy Linglong’s honor. Allow me to rid the black sheep on her behalf then!” Zhang Xuan declared.

“N-no…”

Bam!

With a cry of agony, Baiye Qinghong was smashed into the ground. Her soul also dissipated in that instant, leaving nothing behind at all.

Y-you…” Shangguan Yunwan did not think that the other party would still kill Baiye Qinghong despite having brought out the God Monarch’s name. Her lips quivered in rage as she raised her hand to point at him. “How dare someone like you have the gall to…”

But before she could finish her sentence, the other party shot her a piercing glare and said frostily, “Shut your mouth if you don’t want to die!”

Shangguan Yunwan’s body trembled in anger, but having witnessed the prowess of the book, she dared not say another word.

Even Baiye Qinghong, who was equal to her in terms of strength, had been killed in an instant. If she dared say another word, it was likely that she would meet the same fate.

The God Kings and the other experts who had been keeping an eye on the situation also went completely quiet. They could not stop their bodies from shuddering after witnessing what had just happened.

That was a Conferred God King, an existence whom no one could stop other than the God Monarchs. Yet, in the blink of an eye, such an existence was killed, and the other one had been berated in public yet dared not utter a word of complaint”

Just where in the world did this frightening fellow come from?

At the same time, Fu Jiangchen’s body was also trembling fearfully.

He had always viewed Zhang Xuan in high regard, believing that he would achieve great things in the future… Yet, who could have known that he wielded the strength to kill a Conferred God King and scare his goddess into not daring to speak a word?

It was fortunate that he did not think of attempting anything while helping him forge his pill, or else he would have probably been reduced to a corpse by now.

“Wait a moment, isn’t he… Zhang Xuan?”

“Zhang Xuan? Are you referring to the Zhang Xuan from the Sky of Drifting Specter who came up with the Breakthrough Pill, Apothecary Zhang?”

“Yes, that’s him. I was at the Sky of Drifting Specter on the day of the launch, and I happened to see him. So, I remember him quite clearly…”

“Ah, that explains it. As someone who could come up with the Beauty Pill and Breakthrough Pill, I suppose it’s no surprise if he could come up with that frightening pill over there too.”

“If he’s able to kill a Conferred God King so easily, does that mean that he has a God Monarch backing him? I wonder who it is…”

There was someone amid the spectators who recognized Zhang Xuan.

Zhang Xuan had caused too huge a commotion back in the Sky of Drifting Specter, such that his reputation had already spread all the way there.

After berating Shangguan Yunwan, Zhang Xuan collected the Pill King bound within his sword qi with a flick of his finger before stowing it into a jade container.

All of a sudden, he felt a whiff of danger coming from the center of Linglong Royal City.

The silent space suddenly began rumbling furiously as the energy within Linglong Royal City swiftly surged toward the center. A despairing pressure suddenly fell out of nowhere.

“Is Fairy Linglong going to make a move as well?” Zhang Xuan muttered with narrowed eyes.
