Emperor’s Domination - Chapter 2761

Chapter 2761

Chapter 2761: Gate Guardian

“Killing a disciple from our sacred ground is a crime punishable by death . At noon, the perpetrators will face justice . Our dead disciple shall be avenged . ” Today, Central Saintess made another unexpected announcement .

The crowd didn’t exactly know what as going on just yet . Not long had passed since her previous message .

“The saintess captured those disciples from Mountguard and will kill them via immolation . ” Someone found out the story and it spread quickly across the city .

“Immolation, huh? She’s very ruthless and domineering then, acting so fast after just arriving . ” An expert commented after hearing the news .

Immolation meant burning someone to death but not with any ordinary flame . The flame used here was a type of samadhi flame .  

It wasn’t a quick process either . This samadhi flame would burn someone inch by inch, penetrating into the bones and marrows . This agonizing experience instilled a pain . The victims would wish for death while screaming until their last moment .

 In short, this punishment was ruthless and painful . The crowd shuddered before the saintess’ efficiency and brutality . They got a better idea of her characters and methods .

“Mountguard shouldn’t have opposed Central Sacred Ground . The saintess will show no mercy, it won’t be long till they turn to ashes . ” An elder from an old sect shook his head .

“Will that ancestor retaliate? I can’t wait to watch . ” Some were excited to see the ancestor of Mountguard coming to the palace of Central Sacred Ground .

After all, the ancestor’s power was as clear as day while the saintess was a tough character too . A conflict between these two would certainly result in a fierce battle .  

“This ancestor might be bold enough to make this way in there, but I don’t think he’s leaving alive . The saintess clearly came prepared with ancestors protecting her . ” One expert commented .

“The whole immolation punishment is meant to bait this ancestor there . If he takes half a step into that palace, the saintess will flay him alive . They won’t let someone who had questioned the authority of their sect run around unanswered . ” Another ancestor added .

Everyone has seen Li Qiye’s power but didn’t think too much of it . The other side had the number advantage with an unfathomable background .

The saintess was clearly ready to kill this ancestor and take down Mountguard after her recent moves .

“That ancestor is on the move . ” This news came out while many expected Li Qiye to not go save his disciples .

Numerous cultivators came out on the street to watch the assault . They wanted to see his power and Central Sacred Ground’s ace cards . Of course, they weren’t optimistic about Li Qiye’s chances .

Weizheng pushed the wheelchair with Jiahui next to him . Li Qiye seemed to be asleep, looking quite calm . This wasn’t the aura of a general going into battle .

The spectators held their breath, waiting to be impressed by the upcoming fight .

It didn’t take long before the three made it to the palace of Central Sacred Ground . It was black due to its metallic form and emitted a hardened affinity . The entire place was heavily guarded and seemed quite resilient .

People would feel the pressure while standing in front as if there was an army waiting there . The wise choice would be to leave and walk the long way around .

“The Iron Gate Division is here . ” An ancestor noticed the defensive lines and said: “They are guarding the palace so well, it’s going to be difficult . ”

“The Mountguard ancestor has to get through them if he wants to save his disciples . ” An expert nodded .

Iron Gate was a major division of Central Sacred Ground, famous for its defensive abilities - extremely hard to break through after letting them set up .

“Boom!” The ground shook due to the closing gates, unwelcoming to the trio from Mountguard .

A gigantic defender appeared in front of the gate . Each of his steps made the ground tremble .

People needed to look up in order to fully see this person . He was three times taller than an average man with a full waist and broad shoulders . He wore a black suit of armor . His skin where visible was black as well, seemingly cast from black metal .

He resembled a mountain of steel, exerting great pressure on the spectators .

“Gate Guardian, a capable assistant of the Iron Gate Lord . He’s very resilient due to his physical prowess . Back then, he successfully guarded his sect against more than ten experts who were stronger than him . This won him the title of Gate Guardian . ” One expert elaborated .

The giant was a top-two expert in Iron Gate . He came from a unique race allowing him to withstand weapon attacks with his body .

“State your name!” He let out an ear-piercing shout .

“Ancestor of Mountguard . ” Weizheng had to answer for the sleeping Li Qiye: “Please release our disciples!”

“Hahaha!” Gate Guardian let out a burst of thunderous laughter: “You’re the ignorant fools from Mountguard?”

His expression changed to aggression right away as he continued: “Your sect is but a worm in our eyes yet you dared to kill a disciple of ours? Wait for your inevitable demise . ”

“So you won’t release them?” An insipid voice sounded . Li Qiye had woken up .

“Release them?” Gate Guardian snorted in response: “In your dream . They’ll be burned to death at noon today, their screams will echo across the city to let everyone know the consequences of opposing us . ”

He then turned towards Li Qiye and said: “You’re that ancestor, right? So what, just a leader ant in an ant’s hill . Our saintess has given an order, if you sever your limbs and crawl inside to beg for forgiveness then kill yourself, she will be merciful enough to spare your sect . ”

It was understandable for Gate Guardian to look down on the group . Their army was in the palace right now, killing this ancestor would be simple .

“Central Sacred Ground is overbearing indeed, very forceful in their decisions . ” People were moved to hear this . Alas, they had the strength to back it up so no one could complain .

“Beg for forgiveness? Hah, I’m here to kill everyone from Central and take your saintess’ head . That’s the punishment for conspiring against my sect’s disciples . ” Li Qiye chuckled .

“Damn, that’s a fierce retort!” The crowd was stunned . Not too many people would dare to utter such a strong response against Central Sacred Ground .

“One needs to be able to back up their words with their abilities . He’ll be suiciding going in there . ” One spectator said .

“Boasting so shamelessly, ignorant fool . We will flay you soon enou- . . . ” Gate Guardian said .

“Sword . ” Li Qiye interrupted him and stretched out his hand .

Guo Jiahui placed her personal sword in his hand .

“I won’t bully you . Survive one slash from me and I shall spare you . ” Li Qiye pointed the sword at Gate Guardian and casually said .
