Chapter 687: Heart (1)
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Everyone in the Imperial Domain, no matter what cultivation level they were at, could clearly hear the two words that echoed in the sky of the entire Imperial Domain like thunder.
I refuse!
Everyone could hear it clearly. Only the prince did not seem to hear it and asked, “What did you say?!” He looked as if he had heard wrongly.
Ever since he came to power, Chen Yuan had never disobeyed any of his orders. As the current ruler of the Great Wu Empire, no matter if Chen Yuan was willing or not, as long as it was an order from him, the Sect Master of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect could not reject it.
It could be said that the words “I refuse” could come from anyone, but it definitely did not come from Chen Yuan. Therefore, when the prince heard Chen Yuan say “1 refuse”, he subconsciously felt that he had heard wrongly.
“I said… 1 refuse!” Chen Yuan’s thunderous voice reverberated in the sky above the Imperial Domain again.
If the prince had thought that he had heard wrongly, then this time, he could no longer lie to himself. The expression of the prince twisted bit by bit, looking ferocious. What he could not tolerate the most was someone who dared to disobey him!
To ordinary people, being rejected was normal. However, to the prince, these words were his taboo.
“Do you think that you can do whatever you want now that you have the power of a demigod?” The prince’s voice was almost squeezed out from between his teeth. He immediately tried to make Chen Yuan kneel through the will of the Imperial Domain.
Others might not know. However, he knew very well. The reason why the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect existed was to protect the Great Wu Empire.
It could be said that any organization that belonged to the Great Wu Empire could betray the Great Wu Empire. Only the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect… would definitely not betray the Great Wu Empire.
The leader of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect would also be absolutely loyal and listen to the Great Wu Empire. Moreover, this loyalty was a kind of loyalty that ignored one’s own will.
Which meant, even if there was a deep hatred between Chen Yuan and the prince, as long as he was the leader of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect, he would definitely be loyal to the prince. This loyalty was not something that his will could control.
Therefore, even though Chen Yuan already had the strength of a demigod, The prince could also make him kneel. However, when the prince used the will of the Imperial Domain to make Chen Yuan kneel, he realized that Chen Yuan’s body was still straight and unmoved.
“What’s going on?!” The prince was a little stunned. He did not notice at all that it was not only Chen Yuan who said “1 refuse”, but also the Eye of the Emperor Judgment.
To the Eye of the Emperor Judgment, Xiao Shi was its benefactor who had helped it undo the seal. No matter who had the Eye of the Emperor Judgment, it would not deal with Xiao Shi. This was also the reason why Xiang Zizhen did not reveal that Xiao Shi had unsealed the Eye of the Emperor Judgment in the demigod land.
At that time, Chen Yuan was also by his side. The Eye of the Emperor Judgment took the initiative to hide this matter for Xiang Zizhen. Because it remembered that back then, Xiao Shi had told it that he did not want others to know about this, so it took the initiative to help Xiang Zizhen hide it.
Now that the prince wanted to suppress Xiao Shi through Chen Yuan, even if Chen Yuan agreed, the Eye of the Emperor Judgment would not agree.
If Chen Yuan’s rejection alone could not disobey the Imperial Domain’s will, then with the Eye of the Emperor Judgment, a demigod forbidden treasure, it was enough for Chen Yuan to ignore all the orders of the prince.
Chen Yuan lowered his head and stared at the prince. He was tired. He did not want to listen to the prince because of his duty. He only wanted to do something he wanted to do in the remaining time.
Chen Yuan’s figure flashed. He teleported from the air to the ground and appeared in front of Xiao Shi. In just a few seconds, the cracks on his body had already become more numerous and dense. He was like a piece of porcelain that had been glued together.
“Previously, you asked me if a person like him was worthy of my loyalty.” Chen Yuan looked at Xiao Shi and pointed at the prince. “Actually, you’re wrong. The one I’m loyal to has never been him. The one I’m loyal to is the Great Wu Empire.” Chen Yuan sighed. “But you’re right. It’s indeed not worth it to be loyal to a brainless person like him.”
“Chen Yuan, you’re courting death!!” The prince’s eyes widened. The word ‘brainless’ stung him again. However, be it Chen Yuan or Xiao Shi, they could not be bothered with him now.
Xiao Shi looked at Chen Yuan in front of him. He had already gotten Xiang Zizhen and everyone from the Red Tiger Sect to join the Heavenly Mystery Palace and send them to his domain through the Heavenly Mystery Mask.
There was no longer anything to worry about.
According to his original plan, after bringing Xiang Zizhen and the people from the Red Tiger Sect away, he had basically achieved his goal. However, Chen Yuan’s current situation was completely beyond his expectations.
“I’m very happy that you came to save Zizhen this time. As Zizhen’s master, 1 can’t save him when he’s in danger. I’m not worthy of being his master.
“As the Sect Master of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect, when my disciples are treated unfairly, 1 can’t protect their rights and interests. I can only swallow my anger. I’m not worthy of being the sect master..”
