Hwooo! A gust blew through the desolate garden, and what followed was an eerie silence punctuated only by Su Zhengchen’s sighs.

After a long while, a voice came from behind Su Zhengchen. “Old Master… are you really going?”

The Su Residence’s old steward slowly stepped forward and bowed, sneaking a worried glance at Su Zhengchen’s back. His master was completely different from usual, and what had been a placid lake had suddenly surged with ripples. Such a thing had never happened to his master before.

While he had always hoped that his master would one day be able to leave this residence and the emotional scars it represented, after working toward this for several decades, now that it was imminent, he suddenly felt reluctant. He did not know if this was a good or bad thing for his master.

After a long silence, Su Zhengchen gave his response.

“That child has too much on his shoulders. He’s already done his best in this battle! He should not be fighting alone!”

Although he had not been participating in this battle, he had been watching this entire time. Wang Chong had done as much as he could with his ten thousand soldiers to resist the First Prince. That he had reached this stage with only this much was incredibly admirable.

It was only right that his master help him out with the rest.

“Haaah…”

The steward sighed, understanding Su Zhengchen’s choice.

Buzz!

A moment later, Su Zhengchen pressed down the arms of his chair and slowly stood up. Su Zhengchen’s energy had been restrained, making him seem like an ordinary elder, but at this moment, a vast energy exploded out of him like a mountain erupting out of the earth. At this moment, the entire world seemed to lose its luster.

“Your Majesty Taizong, I’m sorry! It seems that I must break the promise I made with you!”

After softly muttering into the wind, Su Zhengchen vanished from the estate.

Bang!

The split second Su Zhengchen vanished, an astounding beam of Sword Qi soared out of the Su Residence, a vast pillar of energy that cut through the heavens.

“This is—”

The world seemed to fall silent as this Sword Qi rocketed upward, countless eyes staring in wonder at this dazzling beam of energy.

At Chongsheng Gate, the Tianfu Divine Lord and Tianshu Divine Lord were nigh unstoppable, leaving corpses piled up in front of them. Nearby, the Lone Silence Ancestor, Bai Hanzhou, and Li Siye were all covered in wounds and lying prone on the ground.

Though they had tried their best, they were still no match for this pair. If Bai Hanzhou hadn’t critically wounded the Tianshu Divine Lord, they would probably already be dead.

“For daring to oppose this god, all of you must die!”

The Tianfu Divine Lord and Tianfu Divine Lord were preparing to finish off the Lone Silence Ancestor and the others when they suddenly grimaced and turned to the south, looking in the direction of the Su Residence.

“Who’s this?”

Both of them widened their eyes upon sensing that heaven-soaring sword intent. At their level of cultivation, they had little regard for anyone else. As they constantly said, mortals were nothing but ants to them. But they felt threatened by this Sword Qi.
