738 Yi Lingling’s Revenge (Part 3)
Yi Lingling had embarked on the path of revenge. She unhurried traveled around with that truth realm cultivator in tow, destroying the estates of the Marquis of Swords’ faction.
Along the way, she forced the cultivators she captured to join the attack.
The news spread, shocking the Great Victory empire.
In the Imperial City, Marquis of Swords’ mansion, Wan Jie was dumbfounded, but also incensed.
That day, two emperor realm experts walked out of the Marquis of Swords’ mansion.
However, not long after, one of the two emperor realm experts died and the other one was injured.
The injured one joined the ranks of the crusade against the Marquis of Swords’ faction.
Some of the forces that were originally affiliated with the Marquis of Swords’ faction were also forced into action.
Anyone could tell that Yi Lingling was definitely not as simple as she seemed.
As a first-level void realm cultivator, the fact that she could still maintain this momentum, meant that there was a powerful force supporting her.
The first thing that came to many people’s minds was the Heavenly Pavilion.
After all, Yi Lingling’s death was assumed based on the Heavenly Pavilion’s ranking list.
Yi Lingling’s appearance was also made public due to the Heavenly Pavilion’s ranking list.
What other faction could be so strong anyway?
No other faction would dare to act against the Marquis of Swords’ faction.
The imperial family of the Great Victory empire had no reason to suppress the Marquis of Swords’ faction.
Despite their losses, the Marquis of Swords’ faction did not take action for the time being.
In the Heavenly Pavilion, a few figures appeared.
They already knew that the black-robed man was already dead, but did not believe that Yi Lingling was the one who killed him.
Rather, they attributed the man’s death to the faction or force behind her.
However, the Heaven Glimpse Board did not discover any new or unfamiliar emperor experts.
This was unacceptable.
The Heavenly Pavilion was the number one faction in this world. If an unknown expert or faction could avoid their surveillance, then it was a threat to them.
“Send a letter to the Marquis of Swords. Tell them that the Heavenly Pavilion is not behind Yi Lingling.”
“Send out three pavilion guardians to act together with their forces.”
After the pavilion master gave the order, his figure disappeared again.
The pavilion guardians were the most powerful guards of the Heavenly Pavilion. Each one was a ninth-level emperor realm expert, and had mastered powerful cultivation techniques.
In a one-on-one fight, they might be slightly inferior to the Marquis of Swords himself, but three of them working together would be able to kill him.
Many forces were watching closely.
This was the greatest upheaval since the founding of the Great Victory empire, and involved one of their largest factions.
Would the world’s number one sword cultivator personally take action in the face of this crisis?
In the Imperial Palace, the current king was sitting on a chair.
He was looking at a piece of information.
“Summon the Zhen King.”
“Yes.”
A soft response came from the shadows of the hall.
Half an hour later, a dignified old man walked into the hall.
“Imperial uncle, what do you think of this matter?”
The king of the Great Victory empire asked directly.
The Zhen King was the number one expert on the emperor ranking list, and the younger brother of the founder of the Great Victory empire.
The Zhen King sat down on the chair that had been prepared and said, “You can just sit and watch what happens.”
“And ignore the Marquis of Swords’ faction?”
The current king was surprised.
The Marquis of Swords was a founding minister of the empire and one of its top experts.
“Emperor realm experts from the Heavenly Pavilion left the Imperial City and never returned,” the Zhen King said.
Then, he added, “The Heavenly Pavilion has already sent a letter to the Marquis of Swords.”
The pupils of the current king contracted as he mulled the matter over.
“Then let’s sit and watch.”
The Heavenly Pavilion was a power that the imperial family feared.
Any imperial power would not allow others to override their power.
If the battle between these forces dragged down the Heavenly Pavilion, there might be opportunities for him to act against it.
On that day, the current king of the Great Victory empire began to make preparations to reap the benefits of the battle.
He did not mind muddying the waters, or even helping Yi Lingling.
As long as the Heavenly Pavilion could be weakened or destroyed, all cards were on the table.
Even better, if they could control the Heavenly Pavilion and monitor the experts of the world, the imperial family would be secure in their power for years to come.
On this day, an old man walked out of the Marquis of Swords’ residence.
The forces that had been paying attention to the situation were shocked. It was actually the head steward of the Marquis of Swords’ mansion who had personally taken action.
He was a ninth-level emperor realm expert, and the second strongest expert in their faction.
Apart from a few top forces, no one knew that apart from the head steward, the Heavenly Pavilion had also sent three pavilion guardians, which meant that a total of four ninth-level emperor realm experts were making a move.
Yi Lingling headed towards the Imperial City.
Along the way, she and the people she captured along the way kept destroying the estates of the Marquis of Swords. As a result, a number of the Marquis of Swords’ forces had already begun to withdraw.
Yi Lingling did not seem to mind and continued to act according to plan, pushing forward toward the Marquis of Swords’ residence while waiting for their eventual counterattack.
They were not far from the Imperial City when an old man appeared.
“The traitors must be killed!”
The old man immediately attacked and killed the people Yi Lingling had captured.
Yi Lingling stood by and watched as the old man attacked.
She had no intention to save them. After all, she wanted to destroy everyone from the Marquis of Swords’ faction.
