Chapter 1121: Daggers Drawn
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The Divine Imperial Universe had been stable because the previous disputes had come to an end. The nine universes experienced a sea of changes. The major families had been inevitably weaker than before. No one could threaten the Divine Imperial Universe.
The Central Imperial Universe was now under the reign of the Chen Family. Feng Family and Qi Family, who lost tons of warriors. The surviving elites and more powerful warriors had escaped to their respective ancestral lands.
As Jun Hongye returned, the Earth Imperial Universe’s landscape was changed as well. Hao Family sent over two Semi-God Realm warriors, but both had perished. The Jun Family was compromised. Jun Hongye led the Jun Family armies, launched an attack and unified the Earth Imperial Universe.
As for the other five minor universes including the Neverland Universe, because of the death of Li Family Patriarch and others, many families of the five universes took action. Three of the five were quite different now.
This chaos led to the death of countless people. Some major families became more vulnerable. Naturally, no one could have the energy to create trouble at the Divine Imperial Universe. After all, with the unbreakable Divine Imperial City, it would only be a waste of time to threaten the Divine Imperial Universe.
After Yan Zhen left for the Heaven Reverse Universe secretly, a formation had been activated over the Divine Imperial Universe. The several entry points had been closed. It was difficult to breach the Divine Imperial Universe now.
Therefore, the Divine Imperial Universe was quite peaceful. People sang and danced in celebration of peace in the Divine Imperial City. Many Yan Family young masters partied all night long, enjoying the power and glory that came with their status.
Yan Yi was such a young master!
As the most favored young master in the Yan Family, he reached the middle stage of the Earth Immortal Realm at the age of thirty. He had every reason to be proud and to enjoy his beautiful life.
Tonight, he was hosting a banquet at the best restaurant in town, inviting all the elite young masters and young ladies of the major families in the Divine Imperial Universe to celebrate his 30th birthday.
Though the Divine Imperial Universe belonged to the Yan Family, there were other families living here as well. Those families were either related to the Yan Family in various ways or had been affiliated with the Yan Family.
When it was time for the prince’s birthday, the families had to pay attention. This young master might be the future Family Patriarch. They must cozy up to him. So, guests gathered at the party. Many young masters and young ladies dressed up and attended the party, all bending towards Yan Yi.
Hearing the flattery words, feeling the looks of admiration from the young ladies, Yan Yi was in a great mood tonight. He toasted to the guests every now and then. He would also glance over the young ladies, wondering which one he should bed tonight.
“Young Master Yi, today is your birthday. I have prepared something special for you. Please kindly accept!”
A young master suddenly clapped his hands, drawing attention. The young masters and young ladies in the hall stopped talking and turned to this young master.
Yan Yi smiled. He raised his glass and said, “Young Master Hu, how kind you are. It must be a grand gesture since Young Master Hu attaches such importance. I look forward to seeing it.”
“Ha, ha, ha!”
Young Master Hu laughed. He waved his hand and said, “Now, please step outside with me. I promise that will be quite an eye-opener.”
“Sure. Let’s take a look!”
Yan Yi’s smile grew wider. He stood up and walked out with the others.
As soon as they were outside, they heard some pleasant music. Then, amid some glares coming from the distance, some blurs were flying over rapidly. The young masters and young ladies were stunned to see what they saw.
Five beautiful ladies were flying over from the distance. All of them had white wings and snow-crystal skins. Their hair was white as well. They were wearing white dresses. Gazed from a distance, it was as if five angels had come down from heaven.
The dresses they had on must be specially made, emitting a gentle white glow. They came to the young masters and young ladies, dancing around. They flew in circles in the sky and danced to the music, just like fairies were dancing.
“Good heavens!”
A young master seemed to be seized with lust. He exclaimed to himself how generous Young Master Hu was. Those five beautiful ladies were not just anyone. They were from the famous Ice Lady race. Their skin was smooth and cool, which made them one of the best companions in bed.
The race had little population. Even one would become the target of several major families. Young Master Hu had presented five today. How could Yan Yi not be pleased with such a gesture?
Tonight, the moon was clouded and so were the stars. It was a bit dim, which happened to accentuate the beauty of the five. Their dresses lit up gently. They were as attractive as fireflies in the night sky.
The five were breathtakingly beautiful with slim figures and gentle moves. Their expressions were pure. They could ignite the desire in any men here. Yan Yi’s eyes kindled and the smile grew even wider.
At the same time, some young ladies were disappointed. Tonight should have been their chance to seduce Yan Yi. They might not be able to be acknowledged as his wife or concubines, but just being Yan Yi’s women could benefit their families immensely. However, judging by Yan Yi’s looks, tonight, the young ladies had lost their chances.
“Good, excellent!”
Yan Yi observed for a while, his mood boosted. He could not help but applauded. He gave Yang Master Hu a look of praise. Many young masters said words of praise, which made Yan Yi incredibly happy tonight.
“Tok~”
Right at that moment, they heard a depressing bell tone coming from northern Divine Imperial City. That ring was not loud but was heard by everyone in the city.
“What?”
Many people were taken aback, especially the Yan Family disciples. This Grand Bell would not be rung unless something grave had happened.
But nothing of note had been going on lately.
Yan Yi and some other young masters looked at each other, confused. Was it some insensible soul had rung the Grand Bell by mistake?
“Tok~”
Here came another ring. This time, Yan Yi and the others were scared. Once might be a coincidence, but two rings indicated something had gone wrong.
“Tok, tok, tok~”
Three consecutive rings surprised Yan Yi. Many Yan Family disciples flew up along with some other family leaders. They all turned to the north.
“Tok... tok... tok...”
At the eighth ring, Yan Yi and some disciples of the immediate Yan Family were freaking out. Some young masters with insider information appeared to be scared.
“Tok!”
At the ninth ring, Yan Yi and some other disciples felt weak in their knees and collapsed to the ground. Two of them burst into tears at once, and they kowtowed to the north.
“Family Patriarch—”
People from all sides were screaming hysterically. Crying could be heard all over the Divine Imperial City.
Usually, the Grand Bell would not be rung. One it was rung, something grave must have happened. When the Grand Bell was rung nine times, it meant that... the current Yan Family Patriarch had passed away.
Yan Zhen had been in the position for hundreds of years, enjoying high prestige in the Yan Family. He was the cornerstone of the Yan Family, the world of the family.
Yan Zhen had Relic a weapon and armor. He was more than capable. Theoretically speaking, he could live for another one thousand years and that would still be possible. Now, he had perished?
It seemed that the world had come to an end.
The Divine Imperial City descended into chaos and crying was heard everywhere, and so was swearing—Yan Zhen could not have died for no reason at all. He must be murdered.
It just so happened that the five ladies of the Ice Lady were still dancing. They were tamed slaves. Before Young Master Hu said otherwise, they could not stop.
“Ah, ah, ah—”
Yan Yi bellowed. He generated a huge fist shadow and smashed the five Ice Ladies into pieces.
Afterward, Yan Yi looked furious as he cried into the air, “Lu Li! I swear the Yan Family will not allow having you exist in the world together! I swear!”
