“Only three conditions?”
Zhuge Sheng couldn't contain his delight and immediately declared, "As long as you are willing to sincerely pledge allegiance to me, let alone three conditions, even three hundred, thirty thousand..."
"I will agree to them all!"
With that said, Zhuge Sheng was already beaming.
Bai Zihe's eyes flashed with sharp brilliance, and he stated, "My first condition: I want Zhuge Zhao Nan dead!"
As soon as these words were uttered.
Zhuge Zhao Nan, lurking in the corner, felt a sudden constriction in a certain area.
He looked pleadingly at Zhuge Sheng.
Coincidentally, Zhuge Sheng was also looking at him.
Their gazes met, one in contemplation, the other in terror.
"What is your second condition?"
Zhuge Sheng did not agree immediately, but instead asked again.
"I want you to..."
The light in Bai Zihe's eyes turned icy, even exuding wisps of mist. "Explain the matter of the Lin family back then."
Zhuge Sheng was startled.
Could it be that he knew?
At this moment, Bai Zihe continued, "My third condition: I want you to die to appease the world, to atone for your sins to the souls of the Lin family!"
As these words were spoken, the entire hall fell into a deathly silence.
Bai Zihe was truly courageous!
To come to the imperial palace and demand the Emperor of Da Xia to die!
How defiant was this!
How arrogant was this!
Did he truly regard the heavily guarded imperial city as nothing?
Upon hearing this, Zhuge Sheng flew into a rage, realizing that Bai Zihe must have learned of what happened back then, otherwise he would never have dared to utter such a demand.
"Bai Zihe..."
A look of regret flickered across Zhuge Sheng's face, and the chilling killing intent in his tone was unmistakable. "I am the Son of Heaven, the lord of all under heaven."
"Let alone destroying a mere Lin family..."
"Even if I were to destroy ten thousand, a hundred thousand Lin families, to exterminate all those with the surname Lin, it would not be your place as a subject to speak ill of it."
His words were filled with murderous intent, extremely resolute.
"Seeking death!"
Bai Zihe's anger surged, and he instantly transformed into a streak of light, lunging towards Zhuge Sheng.
This executioner who had caused his mother's family to be destroyed...
Even if he were the Emperor of Da Xia, Bai Zihe would still kill him!
"Crack!"
Just then.
A cold glint flashed in Zhuge Sheng's eyes, and he decisively activated a mechanism.
"Buzz!"
"Whoosh..."
"Rumble—"
A torrent of overwhelming auras surged forth, instantly engulfing Bai Zihe.
In the blink of an eye.
The auras, distinguishing between Yin and Yang, and the Five Elements, took their positions around Bai Zihe, forming a cage that tightly bound him.
This was a formation.
A formation used to trap any intruders at critical moments, capable of eternally confining even cultivators of the Yuan Dan realm, preventing their escape.
It was akin to the Seventy-Two Heavens Array in its principle.
"Bai Zihe, you are too arrogant!"
Zhuge Sheng, believing everything was under his control, became smug.
His eyes were filled with playful mockery. "I merely provoked you a little, and you lost your composure to this extent, falling into the trap and being ensnared by the 'Five Elements Yin Yang Formation'..."
"After all, you are still too young."
Bai Zihe did not reply.
Instead, under Zhuge Sheng's gaze, he suddenly raised his fist.
"Boom!"
The next moment, Bai Zihe struck the formation's barrier with his fist.
This punch, seemingly ordinary, actually harnessed the principles of heaven and earth, unleashing three thousand thunderous roars, carrying boundless power.
"Rumble!"
A deep, resonant sound echoed.
The entire formation trembled violently, on the verge of collapse.
Zhuge Sheng was immediately struck with terror.
Bai Zihe was so powerful that even the Five Elements Yin Yang Formation could not hold him. Zhuge Sheng immediately turned and fled.
Zhuge Zhao Nan and the others also vanished in an instant.
"Whoosh!"
Bai Zihe delivered several more punches.
The Five Elements Yin Yang Formation shattered with a roar, vanishing into thin air!
"Run?"
Bai Zihe pursued in the direction Zhuge Sheng had fled.
Along the way.
Countless imperial guards and inner palace experts surged forth like a tide.
But without exception.
All of them were easily dealt with by Bai Zihe. How could they possibly resist him?
Moments later.
Bai Zihe arrived at a palace, the inner sanctum of the royal forbidden area, the true core of the imperial city!
"Swish!"
Bai Zihe charged in without hesitation.
"Whoosh—"
"Swoosh swoosh swoosh..."
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."
Upon entering, various mechanisms emerged one after another.
But these could not impede Bai Zihe's progress.
With a punch, a palm, everything was annihilated!
Zhuge Sheng was cornered, with nowhere left to retreat, and could only watch as Bai Zihe approached him step by step.
His eyes were filled with killing intent and sharp ferocity.
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh..."
"Whoosh—"
Just as Bai Zihe was about to step forward and forcefully question Zhuge Sheng.
The entire inner palace hall suddenly erupted with divine light, and continuous whistling sounds filled the air.
An endless rain of swords descended from the sky.
Dense and vast, it blotted out the sun, illuminating the entire inner palace as if it were day. A chilling killing intent swept through hundreds and thousands of feet, engulfing the place in a cage of sword rain!
The next moment.
Ten thousand sharp sword lights, as if sentient, targeted Bai Zihe.
