Chapter 364
Heavenly Court and Jade Lake tolerated the mess of powers in the Vile Dragon Star River . They didn't much care about their strife, civil wars, or the re-allocation of resources every now and then . They had only one purpose in mind, the Devil Gate .
The souls inside were able to shake their foundations .
That was because they were fed to the Tree of Martyrs .
The Tree of Martyrs was the only thing that could safeguard a power's future . And to assure such a guardian lasted forever, nothing was allowed to go wrong with the souls .
One's life would one day reach its end and the man would die . The increase of souls couldn't be stopped and their number had to be contained, or an undead disaster may befall the Galaxy .
They worked according to Heavenly Dao in its stead, controlled the Galaxy and reaped the souls to prevent such misfortune for being unleashed .
And Tree of Martyrs would bear the reward for all their efforts .
Since before even time itself, this truth never changed .
As the Devil Gate neared its opening, Heavenly Court and Jade Lake grew more restless . Yet in such times, Jade Lake's men on the Devil Gate Star were wiped out in a single night .
The entire Galaxy was on edge .
Jade Lake was enraged .
In the courts of Jade Dragon River Office, Celestial Immortals were crawling below a large tower, "Commander, barely any survived the night slaughter of our forces on the Devil Gate Star . Our spy reported it a robbery, as everything of value was taken . "
The huge tower trembled and an aged voice echoed from within, "Ridiculous! When have you seen robbers killing everyone then setting the corpses of fire to hide their tracks?"
The Celestial Immortals didn't make a peep . The general was angry .
A furious voice drifter from the tower, "Ten years, there's still ten years until the final battle, yet Shan Qingfeng became impatient?"
Another Celestial Immortal said, "Sir, was it the Heavenly Court?"
"Fool! With the Devil Gate on the verge of opening, the war between Heavenly Court and Jade Lake is moments away . To kill so many of our men, the only one who has such power, and guts, is none other than Heavenly Court . What, did you think it's that Faceless gone three centuries ago?"
"Shan Qingfeng has some explaining to do!"
Jade Lake's demand for an answer soon reached the Heavenly Court . Shan Qingfeng was plagued with finding his brother's killer and had no time for such nonsense, "How should I know of their problems?"
This was Shan Qingfeng's stand . Celestial Immortals gathered on the Scarlet Dragon Star River Office to pay their respects to the new general .
In a glorious and lavished hall, a golden sun-like ray descended on the only high chair there . A Celestial Immortal kneeled below it, "General, most of Jade Lake's men on Devil Gate Star were slaughtered in a single night . Jade Lake demands an answer . "
A burst of laughter came out of the light . He was thinking of fanning the flames . He knew he had nothing to do with it but that didn't stop him in goading Jade Lake further . "Tell them this . If that Ding Kuang can't even handle some bandits, he has no right in asking me!"
"Oh, almost forgot . Robbed of everything I decided to provide aid, to give him a spirit stone as comfort!"
"Back to the matter at hand, I have no clue as to who did this . But I must admit, they did a mighty fine job too!"
