"Senior Sister······"
Seeing Tianxuan finally appear, Elder Tianquan smiled wryly.
His sneak attack never had a chance of success from the beginning, everything was within the expectations of his senior sister···and even that junior nephew. Even if the Immortal Queen stepped in, it wouldn't have succeeded.
Because the Immortal Queen never came.
Yet there was still some unwillingness in Tianquan's heart.
This unwillingness stems from such an impeccable defense.
"I never thought that after serving Senior Sister for so many years, she would be so guarded against me, and also this······"
Tianquan glanced at the big red dog lying on the auspicious cloud, "Using such means to disgust me."
After following for so many years, he found that he was completely untrusted. Such precautions could only mean that the attack had been anticipated from the very start.
Senior Sister doesn't have me in her heart.
Nothing could break Tianquan more than this.
"This palace guards against the Heavenly Monarch. With his methods, there must be his agents within the Divine Capital. And if he wants to make a move, using someone else's hand to kill is the best way, and the Immortal Queen would be the best choice."
Her gaze fell on Elder Tianquan, and a trace of regret appeared in Tianxuan's eyes, "But you're not completely wrong, this palace does have some defenses against you. In this world, there are few whom this palace can wholeheartedly trust."
And Elder Tianquan was not among them.
"Wang! Disgusting you was my own idea, you sycophant, do not slander the mistress."
Xiao Tian immediately raised his head, speaking righteously: "To deal with a sycophant traitor like you, there's no need to speak of Jianghu morals. You must be utterly broken in mind and spirit to repay your betrayal."
It can be seen that this dog had learned a lot from Jiang Li, speaking with eloquence. Inside and out, it conveyed one message—loyalty.
Loyalty to protect its master, this was the lifelong pursuit of the Howling Celestial Dog.
The slander of the mistress' name was absolutely intolerable.
"Alright, Xiao Tian, I know you're loyal, so don't say more." Tianxuan said helplessly.
This dog learned nothing good and instead picked up its owner's shamelessness, always talking about loyalty, and never missing a chance to show it. If Jiang Li knew about today's matter, this dog would surely be heavily rewarded.
Her rebellious disciple had never been stingy with ruthless measures against enemies, and Xiao Tian's actions today were very much to Jiang Li's liking.
Yet in this way, it slightly hurt Tianquan.
After all, as fellow sect members, Tianxuan originally intended to let him leave with some dignity.
"Yes, mistress." Xiao Tian immediately replied, adopting an honest demeanor.
But in its heart······
Heh, if loyalty is not shown, how will the master and mistress know that I, Xiao Tian, am truly loyal and wholeheartedly protective?
Tianxuan also saw the dog's thoughts but said nothing more, just looking at Tianquan and asked for the last time, "Junior Brother Tianquan, do you have anything else to say?"
If not, you can die.
To traitors, Tianxuan would never be merciful, even with decades of camaraderie, she wouldn't spare Elder Tianquan who had already betrayed once.
If the price of betrayal is not high, betrayal will only keep occurring.
Elder Tianquan also knew Tianxuan's decisiveness and didn't plead for mercy, only asked, "Why?"
It was another question from him.
Why choose Jiang Li? Preferring to be a clandestine spouse rather than consider him.
If Tianxuan had spent her life alone, Tianquan wouldn't mind and would continue to follow as always. In his eyes, Senior Sister was that goddess in the sky, none could catch her eye, being alone was normal.
But Jiang Li had destroyed Tianquan's ideal.
Not only did he cause the goddess to fall to earth, but also went so far as to hide the relationship, becoming a secret lover.
This was the root of his betrayal.
"There is no why, because this palace likes, that's all." Tianxuan said flatly.
And Tianquan, as for why Tianxuan didn't like him, it was just that simple.
"All those years ago, I advised you, but you did not listen. That today's consequences come to pass, perhaps because I didn't advise more at the time, so let me end it personally now."
The Star Domain revived, the Star Battle reappeared, displaying a vast starry scene.
Tianquan sensed an extreme sense of crisis flooding his mind, his eyes widened in anger, pupils filled with bloodshot.
"Sect Leader Senior Brother!"
A single "Divine" character escaped Tianquan's mouth, imprinting on his forehead, all his Divine Thought burning, intending to awaken the connection with the Heavenly Monarch, and then transmit the memory over.
It seemed that catching one traitor was all Tianxuan managed, but the absence of the Immortal Queen was definitely a factor that could influence Jiang Li and the Heavenly Monarch's confrontation.
Once the Heavenly Monarch becomes aware of this, it would undoubtedly cause significant trouble for Jiang Li.
This was Tianquan's final revenge.
However——
"Suppress!"
The stars operated, and Tianquan immediately felt his mind suddenly suppressed, his Qi Mechanism stagnant, even the Dao Fruit seemed to be suppressed.
A star representing literary fortune appeared above Tianquan, subjected to suppression by six major stars, restricting its operation. And Tianquan, just like that star, was sealed and suppressed, only his consciousness had room to think.
"Doumu is the mother of all stars, anything under the stars is restrained." Tianxuan operated the Star Domain, saying indifferently.
Elder Tianquan held the Wenqu Star Lord Dao Fruit, one of the Beidou Seven Stars, a star born of Doumu Yuanjun, which was more restrained compared to other stars.
"So···it's like this······you had long prepared measures to restrain us." Tianquan's face turned ashen, full of grimness.
The Doumu Yuanjun Dao Fruit can restrain anything star-related, and Tianxuan holding this Dao fruit had initially considered dealing with the Heavenly Monarch, but there also may have been thoughts of punishment in case of betrayal someday.
Apart from Elder Tianji, all the elders of the Dinghu Sect held the Star God Dao Fruit, and even the sect's mid and high ranks were like this.
Starting decades ago, Tianxuan had already prepared preventive measures against betrayal.
Yet such a Senior Sister gave complete trust to Jiang Li, this······
"I···am not reconciled!"
Before the words fell, the stars resonated, and Elder Tianquan's body was shattered by the Power of Stars, instantly reduced to dust, even his Primordial Spirit was turned to ashes.
A dignified elder of the Six Halls of Dinghu Sect ended so easily.
"Junior Brother, you never thought of one thing: admiration is the emotion farthest from understanding. When you looked up to me, it was destined that you could never understand me."
Tianxuan said, waving her elegant hand, the stars swirled, forcibly pulling out Elder Tianquan's Dao Fruit, finally collecting it into her sleeve with the stars.
When Elder Tianquan regarded Tianxuan as the lofty Goddess, his impossibility was certain, but he never understood this.
Instead, Tianxuan always understood the distance between the two and made precautionary measures.
Nonchalantly killing Tianquan, even Xiao Tian beside her had a bit of leg shaking.
Even though it boasted of being enlightened by Jiang Li's extraordinary wisdom, surpassing others in intelligence, it still felt fear towards the mistress' deep thoughts.
If it weren't for Xiao Tian today, probably Elder Tianquan would still die at the mistress' hand, there would be no exceptions.
"So he died just like that."
A sigh arose, followed by a flash of light, and the Princess appeared before them.
From her appearance, she must have arrived nearby long ago.
If it wasn't for Xiao Tian, maybe Tianxuan had other contingencies in place?
In any case, Elder Tianquan was certainly doomed.
The Princess looked around and then said, "I searched around, there are no other enemies. This must be the greatest hidden pawn the Heavenly Monarch planted, besides him, the Divine Capital will have no hidden troubles in a short time."
"With that settled."
Tianxuan replied, waving her sleeve, "The celestial mechanism has been disrupted, so even with the Heavenly Monarch's abilities, it's impossible for him to immediately perceive our failure here in the Divine Capital, much less know that the Immortal Queen hasn't arrived. Tianxuan's arrival will be an important variable."
