Clack! Everyone sensed that some sort of gap had been dug out of the powerful golden barrier around the Celestial Emperor Palace, and the power of the barrier plunged.
“Not good!”
“Careful! It’s Heaven!”
The air tensed. Everyone was familiar with Heaven’s energy, but no one had expected that he would be able to tear through the perimeter seal.
Whoosh!
There was a gust of wind, and the energy of the entire Celestial Palace grew restless as a figure appeared in the hall.
It was Heaven.
“Bastard! I’ll kill you!”
Little Nightmare was the most agitated of all. With a furious roar, Little Nightmare lunged at the floating figure of Heaven, its eyes red.
But Wang Chong stopped it before it could get close.
“Little Nightmare, calm down! The barrier around the Celestial Emperor Palace wasn’t broken. He simply opened a gap and sent in a projection through it, not his body,” Wang Chong sternly said.
Wang Chong’s senses were extremely sharp. The barrier that Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan had set down had lasted for more than one thousand years. It could not have been so easily torn apart by Heaven.
Master Guangcheng and Li Xuantu had also sensed this, but even so, the mood was tense.
Before this, Xuanyuan’s power had been able to completely keep out Heaven. This was the first time Heaven had broken the barrier enough to project himself inside. Even though this was just a shadow, it was still ill news.
This meant that Heaven’s control of the Celestial Palace was growing stronger and stronger.
Heaven floated in the air, ignoring Wang Chong, Li Xuantu, and Little Nightmare, his eyes turning on Master Guangcheng’s projection.
“Master Guangcheng, as expected, We were correct. This really was your doing!”
Master Guangcheng said nothing, and simply stared coldly back.
Heaven stared at Master Guangcheng and derisively said, “However, do you not think trying to avenge your disciple is laughable? Vengeance? Against who? Were you not the archcriminal behind his death? A master killed his disciple yet hypocritically seeks to avenge him! Is there anything in the world more laughable?”
Bang!
Wang Chong’s entire body tensed. He was shaken by Heaven’s words and instinctively looked at Master Guangcheng.
Li Xuantu was also deeply shaken.
“Nonsense! Do you think we’ll believe this attempt of yours to pull us apart?” Li Xuantu sternly said.
The two sides were enemies, so he did not believe Heaven’s words. Moreover, this lie was simply too laughable.
“Idiot! Master Guangcheng, do you think the same?” Heaven mockingly said, not even glancing at Li Xuantu.
As Heaven spoke, everyone turned to Master Guangcheng.
“What is there to be sad about? Was it not the two of us who planned everything, charting out the entire course of his life and how it would ultimately end?” Heaven’s voice rang out in everyone’s ears.
Master Guangcheng’s eyes closed and a pained look appeared on his face, but he did not try to refute Heaven.
Boom!
Everyone trembled in shock, their minds in turmoil.
Even Wang Chong couldn’t help but show his shock on his face.
Though he found it difficult to believe, Master Guangcheng’s expression said everything: Heaven was telling the truth!
“Absurd! Absurd! You were the one who killed Little Grass!” Little Nightmare angrily roared as it stared at Heaven, not believing any of his words.
“Everyone knows that Master Guangcheng was Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan’s teacher… How could it be?”
Behind Wang Chong, Li Xuantu was shaken. Unlike Little Nightmare, he had remained much more rational, but deep down, even he found this truth far too shocking.
The teacher-student relationship between Master Guangcheng and the Yellow Emperor had been praised throughout the ages. Moreover, when Master Guangcheng saw the Yellow Emperor’s corpse, the extreme grief and pain on his face had been authentic. This was precisely what made the truth Heaven had divulged so shocking.
Master Guangcheng had deceived the Yellow Emperor?
This was impossible to accept.
“Haha, Master Guangcheng, as Xuanyuan’s master, shouldn’t you say a few words?” Heaven scoffed. From start to finish, he had not even looked at Wang Chong and Little Nightmare. It seemed as if only Master Guangcheng deserved his attention.
The hall was quiet. Everyone turned to Master Guangcheng, hoping that he would say something.
