Chapter 820: Chapter 820

"Minister Zhao has been here for some time, yet I wonder what in Ice Cold City warrants the attention of the Dali Temple. My father, the Guardian Sun King, has always been utterly loyal to the Imperial Court, as Heaven and Earth can witness!"

"The loyalty of the Guardian Sun King is something the Emperor knows well..."

"If you know, that means you don’t trust us!"

Wang Yun interrupted Zhao Yang’s words coldly, not giving him a chance to explain.

"It seems His Highness the Crown Prince is determined to detain us here?"

Zhao Yang’s face turned ashen with anger. He waved his hand, and the Dali Temple members stepped forward in unison, standing behind him in a combat-ready stance.

"Although I don’t know what Minister Zhao has found, I imagine that with the Seven Stars Great Formation outside the city, any information wouldn’t get out. Therefore, let it forever remain in Ice Cold City!"

"How dare you! Do you know the consequences of massacring the Dali Temple’s people?"

Wang Yun’s words had made his lethal intent clear, prompting Zhao Yang to tear away all pretense and shout loudly.

"Minister Zhao, there is no need to panic. Today, not just the Dali Temple, but the Shadow Tiger Seven Masters will accompany you on this journey. Last time, you failed to assassinate our Seven Stars Commander and managed to escape by luck. This time, let’s see how you plan to leave alive from my hands!"

As soon as Wang Yun’s words fell, the Shadow Tiger Seven Masters revealed themselves, standing alongside the members of the Dali Temple.

"Will the Five Tigers and Seven Wolves Division even fear our Ice-breaking Wolf Riders from the Northern Territories?"

Wang Yun mocked. The Seven Wolves Army might fear the Ice-breaking Wolf Riders, but the Five Tigers Generals had already conquered half of the kingdom for the Royal Family and were undefeated!

Yet, even so, the Shadow Tiger Seven Masters had to be sent to assassinate the Seven Stars Commander of the Ice-breaking Wolf Riders. Had Wang Yun not been prepared, they might have succeeded.

With a faint reply, Wang Yun let out a cold laugh. It seemed some hints of changes inside the Ice-breaking Wolf Riders had indeed been noticed.

"I have no interest in wasting time with you all. After sending you on your way, I have other matters to address!"

Wang Yun stretched lazily, showing little interest in further questioning. The longer he waited, the more risk there was, so it was better to act early.

"If we die in Ice Cold City at the Yang Family’s place, His Highness the Crown Prince is bound to face significant trouble!"

"Hmph, do you think I wouldn’t know how the Shadow Tiger Masters, who are unparalleled in stealth, and the Dali Temple, who always kept a low profile, ended up here at the Yang Family’s? "

"Regarding trouble, my Royal Palace quelling rebellion and eradicating traitors colluding with the Demon Clan is justified, wherefore comes the trouble?"

Zhao Yang’s face turned colder, not expecting the Royal Palace to use the Yang Family’s arrangements to gather both the Shadow Tiger Masters and the Dali Temple to annihilate them all!

This would be the reason given for the bloodbath of the family today.

Collusion with the Demon Clan!

This was obviously a capital offense, and the Royal Palace could easily classify the deaths of the Dali Temple and the Shadow Tiger Masters as accidental killings!

With no witnesses left, no investigation could start!

At a low shout from the Shadow Tiger Seven Masters, seven figures instantly vanished, retreating into the void.

Seeing the Shadow Tiger Masters take action first, Zhao Yang did not hesitate any longer; the Dali Temple members immediately formed a sword array, sending multiple sword qi towards Wang Yun!

"If these are the only tactics, then let us begin your journey!"

Wang Yun sneered in disdain. The attack level was something he could outright ignore. His figure shot forward, instantly joining the Dali Temple’s sword array.

The wild sword qi was all deflected in front of him, and with a tight fist, he struck Zhao Yang’s chest fiercely!

The tremendous force pierced through Zhao Yang’s torso, creating a fist-sized blood hole at the heart!

With a fierce stomp of his right foot, the ground shattered, scattering the sword array of the Dali Temple. The members spewed blood in unison, their heart veins broken!

After dealing with the Dali Temple members in a thunderous manner, Wang Yun gave a cold snort. The previously vanished Shadow Tiger Seven Masters reached the barrier and attempted to tear a corner to escape.

But the barrier, at the peak of the celestial Immortal, could not be moved even by the combined efforts of the Shadow Tiger Seven Masters!

"Seven Paths of Underworld Assassination!"

The seven figures transformed into seven black streaks, shooting towards Wang Yun at an astonishing speed, untraceable by the naked eye.

As their afterimages flickered in the void, a sneer formed at the corner of Wang Yun’s mouth. With five fingers pressing the void, he shot forward!

A loud bang echoed as Wang Yun’s right hand pressed against the chest of a Shadow Tiger Master, embedding him into the wall!

Wang Yun sneered. Though the Shadow Tiger Seven Masters moved quickly, they were sluggish in his view.

"How is this possible!"

The remaining six Shadow Tiger Masters exclaimed in unison. The seven could interchange positions and evade attacks at will, but the previous moment’s overwhelming power halted their movements instantly!

Obscured by the barrier’s art, they hadn’t noticed the celestial phenomenon above the Yang Family void!

With a sudden force of his fingers, Wang Yun shattered the Shadow Tiger Master into a mist of blood, then vanished once again.

Screams followed as, in just the time it takes to burn an incense stick, the bodies of the Shadow Tiger Seven Masters lay on the ground, their blood staining the area, lifeless.

With a wave of his hand, Wang Yun conjured flames in the void, burning the bodies of both the Shadow Tiger Seven Masters and the Dali Temple members to ashes.

"Thank you for the cooperation, Master of the Yang Family. Farewell!"

Regarding the depths of the Yang Family’s residence, Wang Yun turned to leave after a brief moment without any response. However, the barrier did not dissolve.

"What is the meaning of this, Your Highness the Crown Prince?"

From deep within the Yang Family, a voice filled with rage finally sounded. Yet Wang Yun didn’t pause, vanishing instantly.

After Wang Yun departed, an elderly figure appeared before the Head of the Yang Family. The barrier seemed to pose no limits to him!

"The Master of the Yang Family seems somewhat unusual today?"

"Unusual? In what way?"

Feigning calm, the Head of the Yang Family retorted coldly.

"Hehe, I heard every word of your conversation with His Highness the Crown Prince. It seems the Dali Temple handed something to the Yang Family, causing you to intentionally delay for time!"

"Nonsense! I followed the Royal Palace’s instructions to keep the Dali Temple and the Shadow Tiger Seven Masters at the Yang Family. What more do you want?"

Hearing the old man’s words, the Head of the Yang Family fumed, but a hint of panic flickered in his eyes.

"The Dali Temple promised to lift the Holy Word Curse from the Yang Family’s bloodline in exchange for information passed to the one in Capital Luoyang. Don’t you dare deny it?"

The Head of the Yang Family flatly denied it, but his face changed dramatically.

With a chuckle, the old man walked slowly toward him, saying no more.

"Li Fu, our Yang Family is of imperial blood. If you strike, the Emperor will investigate thoroughly, leaving your Royal Palace no defense!"

"The Royal Palace’s actions need no explanation to anyone!"

Li Fu’s steps never halted, echoing like the harbinger of death in the Head of the Yang Family’s heart.

"If I hand over the Dali Temple token, will you spare the Yang Family?"

Facing the fear of death, the Head of the Yang Family crumbled, shouting loudly. He didn’t know how Li Fu had learned of the recent events, but the Dali Temple’s offer was irresistible.

Even knowing the risks, knowing it might be a lie, he was willing to gamble!

After all, the Holy Word Curse in the Yang Family’s bloodline doomed them to eternal submission.

Without an Earth Immortal in their family, they were always at risk of slaughter, utterly defenseless!

There was no room for resistance.

Li Fu’s form quivered, countless Ghost Crows emerging from within, cackling chillingly as they filled every corner of the Yang Family’s space!
