Battle Through the Heavens: Marry Cao Ying, Reward is Devouring Ancestral Symbol

Let’s see if the Heavenly Serpent Mansion dares to bare its teeth in front of me.Hai Bodong looked down from above at the paralyzed Emperor of Chu Yun, his voice mocking: ”The Myriad Scorpion Gate coalition didn’t know its own limits.

They dared to offend the heavenly might of Lord Shen, and now their entire army has been wiped out, and Xie Bi Yan has been executed. All sects that participated in the coalition...

...must already be receiving ’visitors’ right now.

Your Chu Yun Imperial Family was the most deeply involved with the Myriad Scorpion Gate.

Furthermore, you are guilty of attacking without declaring war, making your crime even worse!”

His tone suddenly sharpened, filled with murderous intent: ”If you cannot produce enough ’compensation’ to appease Lord Shen’s wrath,

then your Izumo Empire has no reason to exist past today!”

The Emperor of Chu Yun suddenly looked up, staring intently at Hai Bodong’s face, which held a sneering smile.

A name and image forgotten for many years suddenly aligned in his mind, and he cried out: ”You... You are Ice Emperor Hai Bodong?! Didn’t you already...”

Hai Bodong burst into laughter, stroking his beard, his pride evident: ”I didn’t expect Your Majesty to still remember this old man.

That’s right, it is I!”

He glanced at Shen Wen, who was calm and composed beside him, and the thrill of ’borrowing the fox’s might to intimidate the tiger’ reached its peak in his heart.

This feeling of having a powerful backing and controlling the lives and deaths of others was truly intoxicating.

The Emperor of Chu Yun seemed to grasp at a last straw, his voice sharp with agitation: ”Hai Bodong!

As a person of the Jia Ma Empire,

you actually colluded with outsiders... Could it be that the Three Empires have broken their alliance and are joining forces to destroy my Izumo Empire?!”

Hai Bodong looked at Shen Wen, as if asking if Shen Wen wanted to conceal his identity.

Shen Wen transmitted his voice via soul power: ”There is no need to push the blame onto the Three Empires.”

Only then did Hai Bodong turn back, saying coldly: ”Idiot! This matter has nothing to do with the Three Empires.

The Snake-People Clan is now a force under Lord Shen’s command. Xie Bi Yan sought death himself; he has no one else to blame.”

He stopped wasting words and stated the price directly: ”Enough nonsense. Open your Imperial Family Treasury and hand over 70 percent of its resources as compensation.

Otherwise, after today, the Chu Yun Imperial Family will be completely eradicated!”

”Seventy percent?!” The Emperor of Chu Yun’s face was ashen, and his body swayed; he nearly fainted.

Seventy percent of the Imperial Family Treasury—that was the accumulated foundation of the empire over hundreds of years. If handed over, the Imperial Family would exist in name only!

The names of the great powerhouses of the Northwest Continent flashed quickly through his mind, but none corresponded to this mysterious ”Lord Shen.”

It was highly likely he was not a being from the Northwest.

He could only bring up his last resort, threatening with a trembling voice: ”Your Excellency... With such tyranny, have you considered the Heavenly Serpent Mansion?

The Heavenly Serpent Mansion is a first-rate power in the Northwest. If Your Excellency acts too excessively here, and the Heavenly Serpent Mansion decides to investigate, I fear...”

”Heavenly Serpent Mansion?” Shen Wen, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke, his tone flat.

”You can have the Mansion Master of the Heavenly Serpent Mansion come personally. I’d like to see if he dares to bare his fangs before me.”

The Heavenly Serpent Mansion is indeed a first-rate power in the Northwest Continent, but at most, it only possesses low-level Dou Venerates, equivalent to the Four Pavilions in Central Plains.

Even if they brought out all their resources, if the Protector had to be dispatched, ending this training session wouldn’t be impossible.

Furthermore, if he were to reveal his identity, it would be hard to say which side the Heavenly Serpent Mansion would stand on.

As soon as these words were spoken, they exploded like thunder in the ears of the Emperor of Chu Yun.

He looked at Shen Wen in disbelief. He didn’t even put the Heavenly Serpent Mansion in his eyes?

That was a true behemoth of the Northwest Continent, an existence possessing Dou Venerate powerhouses!

Who exactly was this person?!

His last shred of hope and psychological defense was completely shattered.
