Chapter 42: Everyone Below the Half-Saint Realm is a Nobody
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“He, he’s about to break through to the Half-Saint Realm!”
Elder Xie spoke with a trembling voice as if his tongue was twisted. After saying this, he seemed to have no strength left.
King Zhao and the others’ faces contorted. It was as if an invisible hand was gripping their hearts tightly, making them stop breathing.
Half-Saint? What kind of a figure was that? Anyone below the Half-Saint Realm was but a nobody.
Their lives were at Lin Ran’s mercy!
!!
No wonder he dared to come alone. No wonder a grandmaster was nothing in his eyes. It was too late for everyone to realize this now.
At this moment, no one could stop Lin Ran.
After all, even Elder Xie, who was the most powerful among them all, was already on the verge of death, let alone them.
When the others saw this, they trembled in fear. They were no longer as arrogant as before.
They had provoked someone they shouldn’t have!
Looking at the unconscious Elder Xie, Zhou Hao made a prompt decision. “Sect disciples, listen up. Retreat immediately!”
There was an indescribable panic in his tone. He looked in Lin Ran’s direction with an unprecedented solemn expression and had a hunch.
Perhaps this would be an unprecedented calamity for the Dao-Seeking Sect!
This time, the Dao-Seeking Sect had suffered a great loss. They had initially thought that they would be able to take advantage of this opportunity to obtain the glory of being the number one sect in the world.
Whether it was recruiting disciples or expanding their influence in the future, it was very beneficial. Who would have thought that this would be the outcome?
According to Elder Xie’s current state, he would probably be crippled if not dead. They had lost a grandmaster-level figure and other powerful disciples. It could be said that the casualties were heavy.
Zhou Hao was filled with regret, but it was too late now.
In the blink of an eye, the disciples of Dao-Seeking Sect had disappeared without a trace. The speed at which they disappeared left the cultivators of the other sects dumbfounded.
“Let’s leave too. We can’t stay here for long…”
“Even a large sect like the Dao Seeking Sect is like fleeing. What are we waiting for?”
The people from the other sects also hurriedly fled. After all, even Elder Xie, who had the highest cultivation, had ended up in such a state. There was no one more powerful than Elder Xie among them.
As martial artists, they knew better than anyone how terrifying the power Half-Saint possessed.
With Lin Ran’s involvement, the table was turned completely and the situation became one-sided.
Lin Ran’s gaze landed on the others. “I don’t want to start a massacre. You know what to do next.”
The other vassals were like frightened quails. They kept nodding, afraid that this demon god would use them as blood sacrifices.
Soon, the empress received the report.
“Your Majesty, something seems to have happened to the rebels. Those cultivators are no longer attacking the array formation.”
The empress didn’t expect Lin Ran to be so fast and was in disbelief.
“Could it be him?”
“Who is His Majesty talking about?”
Facing countless confused gazes, the empress shook her head and said, “Let’s go and see what’s going on.”
When everyone walked out of the array formation, they realized what a tragic scene it was outside. There were mounds of corpses, all of which were rebels. It could be seen how intense the battle was just now.
Everyone was stunned on the spot. Then, they were overjoyed. “Could it be that reinforcements are here!?”
“Why didn’t we hear anything if the battle was so intense just now?”
Then, everyone was puzzled.
While everyone was discussing, the empress was experiencing a complicated feeling. She had guessed that Lin Ran must be hiding his real strength, but she did not expect his strength to be so almighty.
The empress still didn’t know that Lin Ran had already broken through to the Half-Saint Realm.
The remaining rebels were also in a state of disunity.
Hurried footsteps came from not far away. There seemed to be a lot of people approaching.
“Your Majesty, be careful!”
Everyone carefully protected Emperor Sheng Yuan in the center and stared at the approaching group of people warily.
It was the vassals, led by King Zhao. Unexpectedly, they had tied up a bunch of martial artists and brought them over.
However, at this moment, King Zhao was in an extremely sorry state. He no longer looked as high-spirited as before.
“Please forgive us for failing to come in time to save you, Your Majesty.”
The vassals all knelt on the ground and said indignantly, “We received news that someone colluded with the martial artists to plot a rebellion. Fortunately, His Majesty was not injured. Otherwise, we will forever be condemned by the people.”
Those who did not know the truth would think that these people were loyal to their emperor.
The people around Emperor Sheng Yuan were dumbfounded. A few ministers looked at each other, their faces as pale as paper.
What turned out was completely different from what they had planned! Initially, they planned to work with the rebels from inside to take down the city together.
Emperor Sheng Yuan was not a fool. For the rebels to be able to take down the city gate so quickly, there must be their collaborators inside. When they returned to the Imperial City, they would definitely die!
Sun Zhanghong and the others were sweating profusely as they looked around. It was almost impossible for them to escape.
The empress did not expose these vassals. After all, it was not beneficial for her to fall out with them now. “Alright! I will definitely reward you.”
The empress said the last few words meaningfully. After all, there was still a long way to go. It was not too late to settle the score later.
The vassals could not help but heave a sigh of relief. At least for the time being, Emperor Sheng Yuan would not find trouble with them.
Soon, all the martial artists who did not manage to escape in time were killed, including King Zhao’s army. Countless people died, and the rest disarmed and surrendered.
Lin Ran had long left without saying a word.
The statesmen thought that they were rescued by a mysterious reinforcement, so they did not ask too much.
