NOVEL NEXT Chapter 1444: I Want Him Dead!
"Only I can protect all beings in the Azure Sky Alliance!"
Tongtian spoke with confidence.
"Very well!"
Fang Qingzhu nodded, "I can entrust the Azure Sky Alliance to you. However, I hope you will keep your promise and protect everyone in the Alliance!"
"Qingzhu..."
"Madam Xiao..."
Fang Ru and the others looked at her with anxious expressions.
Fang Qingzhu forced a bitter smile and said, "Father, everyone, don't say anything more. The situation now is stronger than people. Since Tongtian wants to be the Alliance Hierarch, let him be!" After a pause, Fang Qingzhu continued, "Those willing to follow Tongtian can stay. Those unwilling to follow him, come with me to the extraterritorial battlefield!"
"I'll go with you!" Fang Ru stepped forward.
"I'll go too!"
"I will also go..."
Bai Fa Sword Emperor and others stepped forward one after another.
Tongtian squinted his eyes, his expression uncertain.
He was unwilling to let these people leave.
Fang Qingzhu saw through his thoughts and coldly said, "I have already entrusted the Azure Sky Alliance to you. I'm taking them to guard the extraterritorial battlefield. If you still refuse to agree, then we can only fight you to the death! Maybe your strength is enough, and you can eventually kill us all, but how many of your men would be left?"
"This..."
Faced with Fang Qingzhu's unyielding gaze, Tongtian snorted coldly, his face dark, and said, "Fine, I can let you leave. However, the Array permissions within the Xiaoshanhe Institute and sacred artifacts like the Rebirth Pond must remain with me!"
"Are you dreaming?"
Bai Fa Sword Emperor roared in anger, "These are treasures personally taken by Xiao Lin, who created the Xiaoshanhe Institute. You did nothing, yet you want to claim them as your own?"
"We absolutely cannot agree with you!"
"If need be, we'll fight to the death!"
Everyone voiced their opinions.
At that moment...
From the darkness, an impatient voice suddenly said, "Tongtian, it seems your abilities are truly lacking! The Azure Sky Alliance without Xiao Yi and Xiao Lin is like a fat pig without any defenses. Yet, it's taking you so long to seize it?"
"Who?"
"Hiding and sneaking, what kind of skill is that?"
Everyone's expressions changed drastically.
They all looked in the direction of the voice.
Tongtian's face also changed slightly, revealing a look of displeasure as his cold gaze looked at the figure emerging from the crowd, who was slowly shedding the concealment. This person was dressed in a white robe and was an elder from the Sun and Moon Palace, known as Yue Qi!
"Are you Yue Qi from the Sun and Moon Palace?"
"Damn it, Tongtian, how dare you have dealings with the Sun and Moon Palace?"
"You traitor..." Fang Ru and the others erupted in anger.
Fang Qingzhu's face was sullen: "Tongtian, you must give me an explanation!"
"Explanation?"
Tongtian sneered, waving his fist, "This is the explanation!"
Under immense power pressure, there was not a single person in the Azure Sky Alliance capable of standing against him, allowing him to act without hesitation.
Tongtian said carelessly, "The Sun and Moon Palace originate from the Hall of Longevity. In Ancient Times, this Qingtian Realm was under the rule of the Hall of Longevity. They are also people of the Qingtian Realm. How can my cooperation with them be considered betrayal? Moreover, it's because I am willing to lower myself to collaborate with them that peace can be achieved for the Southern State and the beings of the Azure Sky Alliance!"
"Peace, my ass!"
"Have you forgotten how the beings of Beizhou died?"
"The Sun and Moon Palace and the Mysterious Realm have fought hundreds of battles, killing countless innocent lives. How dare you shamelessly claim you're protecting them? Protecting them to their deaths?"
Thinking back to the battles between the Sun and Moon Palace and the Mysterious Realm during this period, which not only turned Beizhou into a Life Forbidden Zone but also unleashed endless tsunamis, storms, and disasters.
The number of deaths caused by the conflicts between these two forces had already reached astronomical figures!
And now Tongtian still claimed he was doing it for peace?
It was truly nauseating.
Tongtian dug into his ear, completely indifferent to their accusations, and said leisurely, "A bunch of sentimental fools, ask yourselves... whether it is the Mysterious Realm or the Sun and Moon Palace, can you really contend with them?"
The crowd fell silent.
Though unwilling to admit it, what Tongtian said was indeed true.
Not relying on themselves.
Even if Xiao Yi returned, they did not believe the Azure Sky Alliance could truly withstand these two colossal entities.
Tongtian continued, "You have nothing to say, do you? I've said it; it's for the safety of all in the Azure Sky Alliance, to achieve peace. Entrusting the Azure Sky Alliance to me is undoubtedly the right choice!"
Yue Qi impatiently said, "Tongtian, why waste words on these insignificant ants? If you and I join forces, we can kill them all and end the trouble once and for all, wouldn't that be more convenient?"
"Idiot..."
Tongtian cursed Yue Qi in his heart, sneaking a glance at Fang Qingzhu.
The reason he hadn't acted until now, and even tore their relationship but refrained from taking lethal action,
was because he feared Fang Qingzhu might have some means left by Xiao Yi.
After all.
Xiao Yi's formidable strength had left a huge shadow in his heart.
More importantly...
He was currently in the Xiaoshanhe Institute, Xiao Yi's base built single-handedly, where many Formations had been enhanced by Xiao Yi and were incredibly formidable.
Who knew if Fang Qingzhu could activate all the Formations?
If so.
The result could be mutual destruction!
Tongtian wanted to control the Azure Sky Alliance, to secure a position in the imminent upheaval in the Qingtian Realm, not to destroy it!
Before Tongtian spoke again.
Fang Qingzhu was already looking at Yue Qi with a cold smile, speaking without arrogance or servility, "You can try... See if you kill us first or if we drag you down with us for a grand burial!"
As she spoke.
Severe energy storms swept across the Xiaoshanhe Institute.
Many Arrays were completely activated.
The terrifying Formation lights blazed over the vast Xiaoshanhe Institute.
This was a sign the Formations had been activated!
Many of these Formations were world-ending killer arrays.
Even someone like Tongtian was in danger of perishing before these Formations.
Yue Qi's face drastically changed.
He wasn't as knowledgeable about the Xiaoshanhe Institute as Tongtian was.
This time he ventured deep behind enemy lines.
To deliver promised benefits to Tongtian, and also to seek opportunities to eliminate those stubborn insurgents unwilling to submit. But now it seemed his plan would be difficult to execute!
Tongtian hurriedly said, "Wait, Fang Qingzhu, I agree to your demands..."
"Now, I have one more demand!" Fang Qingzhu said.
Tongtian frowned, "What is it?"
Fang Qingzhu raised her hand, pointed at Yue Qi, and stared intently, "I want him dead!"
