The Liang King is dead!

This struck countless citizens in the Royal City like a bolt of lightning, leaving them stunned and speechless, standing in place like wooden statues.

Within the Royal City, there was a solemn silence, as if it had fallen into a deathly stillness.

Inside the Imperial Palace, those cultivators of the Golden Core Realm and the Imperial Guards were also petrified, their hearts filled with an uncontainable shock that couldn't be described with any adjectives. In everyone's hearts, they foresaw the downfall of a dynasty, the Liang Kingdom about to change rulers, the country ready for succession. Such a monumental shift in fate could be a blessing or a curse, which remains unknown, naturally causing countless people to feel worried and fearful.

The members of the Liang family, though each seething with anger, wishing to charge forward and fight to the death with Tangyu, were powerless. They simply had no means to fight, only to die if they tried.

The princes could only mourn in silence, their hearts filled with hatred not towards Tangyu, but Liang Fengnian. It was this fool who chose to provoke Tangyu, leading Liang Kingdom to this fate; all caused by Liang Fengnian.

The Supreme Emperor was incredibly furious at this moment, yet he was utterly alone. His infinite rage surged like a rampant flood, overwhelming the heavens and earth.

"You will all die, you will all die!" The Supreme Emperor bellowed madly.

After slaying the Liang King, Tangyu casually picked up the Wang Jian's sword. Holding it felt different; truly an upper-grade Daoist Artifact. The sheer power emanating from the blade was terrifying. However, Tangyu had no immediate use for it, so he simply stored it away, finding the Pangu Axe more suitable for now.

Tangyu and Sun Wukong stood before the Supreme Emperor, looking at his boundless fury, Tangyu sneered coldly: "Now it's just you left. Though you're at Sixth Layer of the Zifu Realm, so what? You alone can't defeat the two of us. The final outcome will be death; only death. Your Liang Kingdom meticulously prepared, laying heavenly snares to take our lives, but look at the result; only your Liang Kingdom was defeated."

"Now you stand alone, there's no wave you can stir. I'm quite curious though; weren't you supposed to be long dead, a person thought deceased a hundred years ago yet still alive, making the world believe you were gone? Truly hidden deeply; is this the last legacy of your Liang Kingdom?"

A hundred years ago, after passing the throne to the Liang King, the Supreme Emperor supposedly passed away, with the Liang King holding a grand funeral ceremony, making everyone believe he was dead. Yet unexpectedly, the Supreme Emperor wasn't dead, still alive in the world.

The descendants of the Liang family were shocked upon seeing the Supreme Emperor, as if they had seen a ghost. After quite a while, they realized the Supreme Emperor was indeed alive.

Countless citizens of the Liang Kingdom were also profoundly shocked, not expecting such a figure to still be alive.

"Hmph, the foundation of my Liang Kingdom is not something a young brat like you can speculate. Dare to offend my Liang Kingdom, and you face a dead-end. As long as there's an old fox like me, my Liang Kingdom remains as solid as a rock." The Supreme Emperor snorted coldly.

Tangyu smirked and said: "Oh really? Then let's see how strong you really are."

Tangyu and Sun Wukong were about to attack once more, but Tangyu's brow furrowed instinctively, sensing danger growing within, which made him immediately halt Sun Wukong. He observed the surroundings cautiously, soon spotting three figures emerging from three directions, forming a four-person square formation with the Supreme Emperor, surrounding Tangyu and Sun Wukong.

These three figures were all ancient entities, with white hair and beards, each exuding an aura equal to or even more formidable than the Supreme Emperor. One particularly exuded an aura that shocked Tangyu: "The aura of Seventh Level in Zifu Realm, definitely a being of Seventh Level. The other two should be at least Sixth Layer in Zifu Realm, possibly even Seventh Level. How could it be? Even if the Liang Kingdom's foundation is deep, it shouldn't possess four such mighty figures."

Sun Wukong also sensed immense danger, subconsciously furrowing his brow slightly, as if facing a formidable adversary.

Indeed, Tangyu felt as if facing a formidable enemy, mostly due to deep uncertainty. It shouldn't be possible for the Liang Kingdom to possess such hidden power. These three others certainly aren't from Liang Kingdom. There's only one possibility; they're help called by the Supreme Emperor. If these three join the battle, Tangyu is certain, he and his allies will face inevitable defeat. Losing today means death. This situation made Tangyu gnash his teeth.

Despite all calculations, he overlooked this one; he accounted for Liang Kingdom's strength but didn't anticipate the Supreme Emperor's ability to enlist such formidable allies.

Yan Nantian and his group were also pale with fear, glancing at each other, not knowing how to proceed.

The Supreme Emperor looked at the three formidable Great Powers, clasped his fists and said, "Three old friends, it has been a long time, a century since we last met. If it weren't for desperate times today, I would not have disturbed your retreats, but I had to call upon you to protect the peace of my Liang Kingdom. You have seen today's events; these two youngsters want to destroy my Liang Kingdom, leaving me no place to hide my old face. I ask the three of you to join forces and help me kill these two boys here and now, to assert the might of my Liang Kingdom."

"Anyone who offends my Liang Kingdom will meet only one end, and that is death!"

The last sentence was spoken by the Supreme Emperor with an overwhelming Immortal Qi, immensely powerful, like the sound of a grand bell tolling, echoing throughout the Royal City, reaching everyone's ears with terrifying power, causing countless citizens in the Royal City to kneel in reverence involuntarily.

The three formidable Zifu Great Powers did not waste any words and all drew their weapons. From their attitudes, it was clear that they were determined to assist the Supreme Emperor in killing Tangyu and Sun Wukong. This made Tangyu and Sun Wukong extremely uncomfortable, feeling as if the footsteps of death were coming for them.

Tangyu's expression turned cold as various thoughts flashed through his mind, searching for ways to handle the situation, searching for a way out, but he found no solution. This drove Tangyu crazy. How could it be like this?

Could it really be that his impulsiveness would cost everyone their lives and lead to the annihilation of the Yanshan Sect?

No, no, no, Tangyu would never let this happen, never.

Tangyu gritted his teeth, his gaze sweeping towards the three formidable Zifu Great Powers and said, "Esteemed seniors, my Master is Ji Dian; I beseech you, for the sake of my Master, to refrain from interfering in this matter. This matter is a personal grudge between me and the Liang Kingdom; today's situation is a fight to the death. If the three of you insist on pursuing my death, I may not have the strength to stop you, but please weigh carefully whether it's truly worth killing me for Liang Kingdom."

"I am just a junior; if you, esteemed seniors, oppress me like this, consider whether my Master would approve."

Sun Wukong added, "That's right, if you dare to kill us, think of the consequences. My Master is the Sect Master Immortal of the Jiuzhou Immortal Sect. If you bully us with numbers and strength, consider whether our Master would seek revenge for us. This is a grudge between us and the Liang Kingdom, unrelated to you; I hope you do not forcibly intervene. Otherwise, you may not be able to bear the consequences."

Tangyu and Sun Wukong's words indeed had some deterrent effect. It must be admitted that the three formidable Zifu Great Powers were somewhat intimidated, at this time frowning deeply, exchanging glances. Clearly, this was not a situation they had anticipated before.

Two disciples of the Seeking Immortal Realm are not easily killed. The Sect Master Immortal of the Jiuzhou Immortal Sect is a renowned Seeking Immortal, as well as the Sect Master Immortal of a top Immortal Sect. If they truly bullied the few with the many, or the weak with the strong, they risked angering the Sect Master Immortal, inviting disaster upon themselves. If they stirred up a Seeking Immortal, they were as good as dead.

Ji Dian, nicknamed the Mad Immortal, had a reputation for being somewhat crazy in demeanor and actions. However, the Mad Immortal never took any disciples, which made the three somewhat doubtful. Sun Wukong being the disciple of the Sect Master Immortal of the Jiuzhou Immortal Sect, was known by many.

Moreover, the Mad Immortal never took disciples, so how could a disciple suddenly appear?

This certainly arouses suspicion.

The Supreme Emperor said, "Three old friends, do not listen to the deceitful talk of these glib youngsters. The Mad Immortal is such a carefree Immortal who never takes disciples; how could he have taken this one as a disciple? That monkey indeed has some ties with the Jiuzhou Immortal Sect's Sect Master, but we won't kill the monkey; we just need to kill this child Tangyu. Three old friends, please lend a helping hand; it would be immensely appreciated."

With the Supreme Emperor's words, the three formidable Zifu Great Powers exchanged glances, nodding in agreement, clearly deciding to assist the Supreme Emperor despite everything.

Tangyu curled his lips, "Damn it, they still don't believe me. It seems my Master's reputation is not very effective against these three old guys. They really think I'm lying. But truthfully, the Supreme Emperor is quite impressive to manage to have these three Zifu Great Powers risk themselves for him. Looks like there's no choice but to fight desperately. My Master's name is ineffective; it feels like I'm being set up."

Tangyu was speechless for a while, relying on his Master's name surprisingly had no effect, a very frustrating situation.

The situation now was too precarious, and facing such a formidable situation, Tangyu had no solution.

Sun Wukong grinned, "Trying to kill Tangyu won't be so easy; you'll have to first ask for my consent." Sun Wukong stood by Tangyu's side, looking as if he was ready to live and die together with Tangyu.
