Myth Beyond Heaven Chapter 696 Unexpected Circumstance

“Huoyun Yurou, do you know how many innocent people are here? Are you going to kill them all?” Tianqi Junlai said solemnly.

Huoyun Yurou’s cloudy eyes gazed upon Tianqi Junlai. She laughed coldly. “Innocent people? Don’t make me laugh. Your Sky Qilin Clan had killed numerous innocent people in the past, yet have you ever repented of it?”

Tianqi Junlai’s face darkened. “Don’t try to change the topic. Do you think my father won’t do anything and watch you hurt everyone here?”

His voice was enhanced by profound energy, reverberating throughout the entire Nine Profound City.

Huoyun Yurou obviously saw through Tianqi Junlai’s trick, but she didn’t care about it. “I am waiting for him to appear.”

As her voice fell, the fire clouds in the sky descended rapidly upon the whole city. Countless shrilling screams could be heard everywhere. The power of the Divine Ascending Tribulation Realm expert wasn’t something ordinary people like them could handle. No matter how powerful they were, they wouldn’t be able to escape from this.

Tianqi Junlai was sweating profusely. He had no choice but to put an exquisite white armor on his body. This armor was called Sky Rising Armor. Similar to the Golden Tribulation Armor, it was a divine rank artifact of the Sky Qilin Clan.

When Tianqi Yi and Tianqi Er saw this, they quickly stepped forward and conjured a profound defense around Tianqi Junlai. They were faithful servants, willing to die for their master at any moment.

Just as Huoyun Yurou was about to raze the city, her brows raised slightly as she looked in a certain direction in the sky.

“That should be enough, Huoyun Yurou. You shouldn’t involve innocent people with your hatred.” A calm yet majestic male voice resounded. Everyone who was familiar with this voice couldn’t help but cheer up because the owner of the voice was no other than Tianqi Zongwei, the strongest person on the Western Continent.

“You are willing to come out now?” Huoyun Yurou didn’t retract her power as she spoke.

Tianqi Zongwei’s figure slowly flew down from the group of white clouds and stopped above the arena. His eyes, which seemed to see through everything in this world, fixated on Huoyun Yurou.

He nodded his head gently. “Your progress is beyond my expectation after all the suppressions you got.”

“I didn’t come here to talk with you.” Huoyun Yurou said coldly and tapped her crane on the ground.

Boom!

Instantly, the fire clouds exploded, producing countless fireballs to bombard the whole city. Several tall buildings collapsed instantly. The scene was extremely chaotic as the citizens scrambled away in all directions. It was difficult to believe the most prosperous and safest city on the continent had fallen into such a situation.

Tianqi Zongwei calmly watched the scene unfolding without the intention of stopping.

Tianqi Junlai was anxious and wanted to say something, but he swallowed all the words back in the end. Since his father appeared here, it would be useless no matter how unwilling he was.

Huoyun Yurou wasn’t surprised by Tianqi Zongwei’s indifferent reaction. She continued to manipulate the fireballs and completely razed all the tall buildings in the city in the next few breaths.

“Are you done?” At this moment, Tianqi Zongwei asked expressionlessly.

Huoyun Yurou smiled coldly. “You’re the same as thousands of years ago. The innocent people have always been irrelevant to you.”

“I understand your hatred, but everything in the past wasn’t something I could control. You should stop here and go back.” Tianqi Zongwei’s words surprised everyone in the scene. They thought he would teach Huoyun Yurou a lesson after everything she had done today.

“Father!” Tianqi Junlai couldn’t help shouting out.

“Silent!” Tianqi Zongwei’s expression turned cold as he faced his son. “I have never told you to do all of this. It was you who caused everything today.”

Tianqi Junlai became furious. “Are you blaming me now? Do you think I dare to do it if it wasn’t because you allowed me to?”

“Heh. Stop your acts, Tianqi Zongwei. Everyone here has seen your true face before.” Huoyun Yurou sneered.

Tianqi Zongwei turned to look at her and said calmly. “Leave here, and I will compensate all of you.”

“Can you bring my husband back?” Huoyun Yurou responded instantly. “Can you revive all of my clansmen that died under your insidious plans?… If not, don’t ever say that. Only your life can compensate them.”

Tianqi Zongwei shook his head gently. “I can’t bring the dead back to life, and I also can’t give you my life.”

“Hehe.” Huoyun Yurou laughed coldly without saying anything further.

“I said I am going to compensate all of you, and I will do it now.” Tianqi Zongwei said calmly. He turned to Tianqi Junlai, and his voice turned incomparably cold. “Kneel!”

Tianqi Junlai was shocked. The pressure from his father immediately pressed him down to the ground with no way to resist it.

“Why are you doing this to me!?” Tianqi Junlai roared furiously. He didn’t understand why his father did this. Even though he knew his father hated him, it shouldn’t reach this point where he was forced to kneel in front of everyone, right?

Huoyun Yurou, Huoyun Zhu, Yu Rongxi, and Jin Yang frowned. They felt they couldn’t understand Tianqi Zongwei at all.

Tianqi Zongwei turned to Huoyun Yurou and the rest. “In a few days, I will send people to give you compensations, including returning your former territories.”

“What are you trying to do?” Huoyun Yurou frowned.

“Have you noticed something on me?” Tianqi Zongwei didn’t reply right away but asked instead.

Huoyun Yurou swept her Spiritual Sense over Tianqi Zongwei, and a trace of shock appeared on her face. “You… You actually…”

She had discovered that Tianqi Zongwei’s lifeforce was extremely weak. Judging from it, there were around twenty years left within him. How could she not be shocked?

Tianqi Zongwei smiled faintly. “Before coming here, I had performed a divination technique. I cannot tell you the whole result right now. I can only tell you a piece of it… In the near future, a terrifying figure will appear in this world. At that time, every corner of this world will descend into chaos.”

Tianqi Zongwei’s voice echoed in everyone’s minds, causing them to fall into deathly silence.
