World-Ending Demon Emperor

Chapter 2137 - 1020: The Hell Rider No. 4 Exposed (Important) (Part 2)

Ji Yingsha coldly said, "There is no such thing. I appeared in Driftsquare on orders to draw out the prey; there was no betrayal, let alone any collusion with Ji Mengbai."

Upon hearing this, Ji Mengbai’s face changed dramatically.

Ning Wuya sneered, "You really are a shameless hypocrite. Seize him!"

Immediately, two Holy Temple samurais stepped forward to apprehend Ji Mengbai.

"Wait..." Ji Mengbai shouted, then pointed at Ji Yingsha, "You cold-blooded, despicable, shameless woman, you killed your husband Jiang Shang, who shared your bed for decades, and now you harm your nephew. How can such a ruthless and ungrateful woman still have the face to live in this world?"

Ji Yingsha sneered coldly, disdainful to argue.

Ji Mengbai shouted loudly again, "Everyone in Driftsquare, we just wanted to see who Hell Knight number four truly is. What is wrong with that? Someone set this trap to catch us; they want to eliminate dissent. Since Demon Emperor Lanling is outside, the energy of the Sky Holy Palace is far from enough, so they must carry out a great cleansing and a massacre to survive. We are just the first innocent batch; there will be a second, third, and fourth batch. Until the Sky Holy Palace’s millions are reduced to a hundred thousand, even fifty thousand or ten thousand. Sacrificing everyone, finally letting the high-levels survive. This is the most shameless act, using fabricated charges for a great cleansing."

Upon hearing this, the five thousand people in the square immediately stirred in tumult and uproar.

Shouting words like shameless and cleansing.

Ji Mengbai bellowed, "We just came to see who Hell Knight number four truly is, is that wrong? We even thought of capturing Hell Knight number four, is that wrong? Now they want to sacrifice us, to clear the energy and vitality we possess. To support these shameless and decayed high-levels to continue surviving, we won’t agree, let’s fight them, fight..."

"Fight, fight..."

Suddenly, five thousand people in Driftsquare took out their weapons, ready to rebel. Since they were going to die anyway, they might as well fight to the death.

Ning Wuya said coldly, "Seeking death, everyone in Driftsquare shall be executed!"

These words caused the whole scene to burst into an uproar and color change.

Ji Mengbai almost lost his soul, pointing to the Tomb Priests surrounding Driftsquare and the hundreds of thousands of Holy Temple samurais, shouting loudly, "Don’t act, don’t be deceived. We are the first batch, and you will be the second. We will all be sacrifices. The Sky Holy Palace’s energy is far from enough, so they want to sacrifice ninety-five percent of the people, letting five percent live permanently. It’s like the world is ending, only a few high levels can survive. This is their shameless conspiracy, soon it will be your turn. And those Tomb Priests just awakened, I heard a message that you will soon be confined back in the Heaven Tomb. However, this time after entering the Heaven Tomb, the energy will be cut off, trapping you in eternal slumber, never to awaken again. You ancient ones consume the most energy, the high-levels have long since been displeased with you."

These words caused over a thousand Tomb Priests’ faces to change dramatically, all looking towards Ning Wuya.

These Tomb Priests were dissatisfied after being released. Many of them were once the first and second leaders of the Sky Holy Palace, people who commanded the wind and rain, decisive in their words. After awakening, they became mere combat machines. The current decision-making layer of the Sky Holy Palace treated them like thieves.

These Tomb Priests, except for the King-level strong, didn’t even have a separate Floating Hall or Floating Cave Abode, their treatment was worse than the current Candidate Sky Priests, Candidate Sky Judges, and even the Holy Priests. And the King-level Tomb Priests had to share one Floating Hall among four people.

Such treatment was indeed a significant disparity.

Moreover, they had no voice in any major matters. They intended to unite to gain power but were suppressed by Tian Daoqi because he was the most senior, for having tamed the Demon Emperor, making him the most outstanding leader of the Sky Holy Palace over millennia. Tian Daoqi and Shi Tian, holding most of the Sky Holy Palace’s energy arrays, made these resurrected Tomb Priests unable to stir waves.

So, these Tomb Priests had swallowed their pride for a long time.

It really was too much to bear, living for dignity, a Buddhist contends for incense. We, once leaders of the Sky Holy Palace, awakened to endure the vexations of you juniors.

Moreover, what Ji Mengbai said was not groundless; the Sky Holy Palace’s high-levels had indeed discussed this decision, only to be later denied.

"Elders, there is no such thing, absolutely none!" Ning Wuya said.

A Tomb Priest said, "Mr. Ning Wuya, taking this opportunity, I also want to speak. We Tomb Priests were once leaders of the Sky Holy Palace, your predecessors, and now our treatment is not even as good as a Holy Priest’s, is this appropriate? Is this how you respect the elderly?"

Ning Wuya was also speechless. The total number of Holy Priests worldwide didn’t exceed one hundred and fifty, but there were over two thousand Tomb Priests. If they required equal treatment, where would the Sky Holy Palace find so many resources?

And there were nearly a hundred Sub-king Layer Tomb Priests in Driftsquare, and they took this opportunity to agitate, shouting, "We do not intend to betray the Sky Holy Palace, we just want to fight for fairness here. We Tomb Priests have labored hard and are highly meritorious, once leaders of the Sky Holy Palace. Why is our current treatment inferior even to Holy Priests’? Now that we have become a hindrance, do you want to eliminate us to clear resources for yourselves? Your decision-making layer doesn’t dare to fight Demon Emperor Lanling, only engages in internal strife, excludes dissidents, and conducts great cleansings, being skilled in internal struggles but inept in external combat!"
