#479 - Take action again?
Everyone's eyes were fixed on the items appearing from within the spatial ring.
The moment they saw them, they sensed something was amiss.

Was that blood?
Why were there such bloody things?
"A head?"
At that moment, they all realized something.
There were no traps or tricks.
Xu Fengqiu had sent a head.
Meaning someone had died, killed by him.
But so what?
What was the point of him killing someone and sending their head over?
Even if you killed the Supreme Immortal Emperor and sent his head, so what?
Unless you sent the Heavenly Profound Emperor's head, that would actually be useful.
The head was too small, and there was too much blood; everyone was too far away, separated by a barrier.
"Whose head is that?"
A powerful figure cautiously asked.
"I don't know, can't see clearly. What does Xu Fengqiu mean by this?"
"Shouldn't there be any danger, right?"
"Yeah, shouldn't be, right?"
"… …"
They were still somewhat hesitant to go inside.
After a while, when there was no movement, they finally stepped into the barrier.
"Your Majesty?"
Suddenly, a powerful figure seemed to recognize the head's owner.
"What?"
Many people widened their eyes, looking at the head in disbelief.
"Your Majesty!!"
"It really is His Majesty!"
"This??"
"Hiss—Xu Fengqiu actually killed His Majesty? This??"
"How did His Majesty fall? When he left the Imperial Palace, wasn't he going to discuss dealing with Xu Fengqiu with others? This? Then was he ambushed by Xu Fengqiu?"
"This??"
"… …"
The death of the Heavenly Profound Empire's Emperor was a major event.
… …
The next day.
The news spread like wildfire.
Ten Thousand Poisons Sect.
"Sect Leader, Sect Leader! Something bad has happened! Something bad has happened!"
A figure hurriedly ran over.
"What's all this panic about?"
Wan Yannian frowned, his expression displeased.
"Sect Leader, the Heavenly Profound Emperor… the Heavenly Profound Emperor, he…"
Wan Yannian: "What happened to the Heavenly Profound Emperor? Damn it, did he succeed? I knew it, I guessed that if he succeeded one day, he definitely wouldn't want to give me the treasures on Xu Fengqiu's body; he would definitely want to take them all for himself."
"Sect Leader, it's not like that."
"Oh? Then what is it?" Wan Yannian asked.
"It's that the Heavenly Profound Emperor, he… was killed."
Wan Yannian: "… …"
"What? Killed? Xu Fengqiu did it?"
"Yes, Xu Fengqiu did it."
Wan Yannian frowned deeply.
If you say he was shocked, he was indeed shocked.
After all, that was the Heavenly Profound Emperor.
How could he be killed so easily?
If you say he wasn't shocked, then he really wasn't that shocked.
Because Xu Fengqiu could easily kill even the Supreme Immortal Emperor; if the Heavenly Profound Emperor gave him the chance, Xu Fengqiu could kill him very easily.
But…
The Heavenly Profound Emperor wasn't a fool; he was an old fox of thousands of years. How could he possibly give him the chance?
"It's like this: early this morning, Xu Fengqiu appeared ostentatiously. He gave the Imperial Palace guards a spatial ring. The guards handed the spatial ring to the Imperial Family, and the subsequent news was that the ring actually contained the head of the Heavenly Profound Emperor."
Wan Yannian's expression was solemn.
"This is not good."
There were two very bad points.
First, no one knew how the Heavenly Profound Emperor died; no one knew what exactly happened last night.
Normally, the Heavenly Profound Emperor also knew Xu Fengqiu's strength. It was impossible for him to go and find Xu Fengqiu alone; wasn't that just offering his head?
So, is there a possibility that the Heavenly Profound Emperor didn't actively go to offer his head, but was tricked by Xu Fengqiu using some means?
If the Heavenly Profound Emperor could fall for it, what if Xu Fengqiu used the same method on him?
No one knew what this method was, and no one knew how to guard against it.
Second, the Heavenly Profound Emperor was their ally in dealing with Xu Fengqiu. Now that the Heavenly Profound Emperor was gone, the Heavenly Profound Empire's Imperial Family was in turmoil. Who would take the throne afterwards was still unknown. After taking the throne, whether they would be friends or enemies with Xu Fengqiu was also still unknown.
They had lost an ally.
So, the situation was very bad.
"Does Xu Fengqiu have any movements?"
Wan Yannian quickly asked.
"Currently, it's still unknown."
Wan Yannian's expression was solemn: "Keep a close watch."
"Yes!"
… …
On the other side, the Divine Machine Gate's worries were almost the same as Wan Yannian's.
Wan Yannian and Mo Wenfeng also discussed this matter a lot.
"So, what about our plan? What stage has it reached now? So, if it succeeds, who should we contact? The Heavenly Profound Emperor is dead; what should we do now?"
Wan Yannian said.
He thought their plan was still continuing.
"I don't know. Doesn't the Myriad Ancient First Divine Sect still have that Heavenly Profound Emperor's spy?"
"I don't know who it is. The Heavenly Profound Emperor is dead; will he continue to be a mole?"
"Won't it fail?"
"I don't know. I don't know if that fox clan woman will continue."
"… …"
The entire Nine Heavens of the Nine Continents were shaken.
The Heavenly Profound Emperor was also a generation of heroes.
A generation of top-tier powerhouses, with such a powerful background.
Ever since he provoked Xu Fengqiu, he hadn't had a good day.
The Imperial Family's power suffered heavy losses, and he himself didn't know how he was killed by Xu Fengqiu.
This made Xu Fengqiu's strength even more elevated in everyone's hearts.
On the other side.
The Immortal Palace Sect Leader, Jun Tianchao, naturally also received the news.
The Immortal Palace's group of powerhouses also had a lot of discussions in the main hall.
When Jun Tianchao left the main hall to go to his own place, his expression turned gloomy.
He didn't know what Xu Fengqiu had done.
Logically speaking, this plan was so perfect.
Moreover, according to some news he had received, Xu Fengqiu seemed to have a premonition of being hooked.
So, why did such a thing suddenly happen?
However, whether the Heavenly Profound Emperor lived or died was not important.
What was important was that the fox clan woman should still be in the Myriad Ancient First Divine Sect continuing to complete the mission, right?
This mission was for them to repay a favor; it shouldn't be terminated because of the Heavenly Profound Emperor's fall.
After all, they should be clear that, in the final analysis, this mission was his intention.
But now the situation was very bad.
"This Xu Fengqiu…"
Jun Tianchao stood there with his hands behind his back: "We can't look at him with the eyes of the people of the Nine Continents anymore. In fact, we can completely regard him as someone who came from the Eight Desolations, someone whose knowledge, methods, and abilities far exceed ours."
"Then to kill him, we can't compare methods and knowledge, because we will never be able to surpass him."
"Let's see if this time will be effective. If it's ineffective, then let's think of other ways."
After all, if something happened to Xu Fengqiu, no matter what the final result was, he would definitely be able to know, right? There wouldn't be no movement at all, right?
