Fang Jing immediately became uncertain when she heard the East Origination Saint Monarch’s words. Her sharp and cold eyes became extremely terrifying as she basically ground her teeth. “Tell me. Who ordered you to do this?”
“Your existence, as well as the existence of the brush in your hand, is only known by the four of us in the Saints’ World. Even Grand Exalts that have become embodiments of the heavenly ways do not know about it. Not only do you possess unbelievable power with the brush, but you can even obscure the heavenly secrets too. Even the sovereigns of the Saints’ World are unable to sense the earth-shattering disturbance that occurred in our Violet Crepeflower clan.”
“Probably even sovereigns of the Saints’ World can’t discover you when you have the brush. No one can predict your tracks. Yet, ten thousand years ago, the four of us just happened to know your location, which allowed us to set up an ambush.”
Reaching there, the East Origination Saint Monarch did not continue on that topic. Instead, he looked at Fang Jing with mixed emotions and said, “I think you already know who your true enemy is and who truly wants you to die.”
“Your true enemy isn’t us. The Lightning Saint Monarch, the Dao Heaven Saint Monarch, the leader of the Myriad Bone Guild, and I are just tools to him.”
The East Origination Saint Monarch’s words were like a bolt of lightning to Fang Jing. She immediately paled and began to tremble uncontrollably. Even her hand that held the Dominion’s Brush shook violently.
She was not a fool. She had only not considered certain matters before, nor would she have ever believed them. Only when the East Origination Saint Monarch laid it out in the open was she forced to accept the brutal truth.
“N-no, that’s impossible. That’s impossible…” Fang Jing was sheet-white as she struggled to hide her sorrow and sadness. Her emotions had already overwhelmed her.
With the truth exposed, many clues gradually cleared up. She immediately recalled some matters of the past, which had a tremendous impact on her. She struggled to accept this.
“Argh!”
Suddenly, Fang Jing let out a great roar. The energy belonging to a Ninth Heavenly Layer Grand Prime erupted from her, immediately producing a terrifying storm of energy. Even the protective formation around the Violet Crepeflower clan below shook violently.
Emotionally perturbed, Fang Jing no longer bothered with killing the East Origination Saint Monarch and the Violet Crepeflower clan. She turned into a blur and rushed off into the distance madly, vanishing into the depths of the starry sky in an instant.
She had left this place, but the barrier of energy cast down by the Dominion’s Brush did not disperse. The barrier of energy was hidden within a great cloud of violet Qi, enveloping the entire Violet Crepeflower clan. As a result, no one could notice anything off from the outside.
Seeing how Fang Jing had already flown away, the East Origination Saint Monarch immediately eased up. At this moment, he felt quite fortunate.
He was aware that once he died, the entire Violet Crepeflower clan would truly be done for. Even though he shifted all of his clansmen into the supreme divine hall, the divine hall could not last for very long before the terrifying brush.
“Where exactly is this brush from? How is it so terrifying?” The East Origination Saint Monarch felt extremely shocked when he recalled the tremendous power well beyond anything he could contend with from the brush.
“I can’t keep this a secret anymore. I need to report the existence of the brush to the sovereigns. We definitely can’t hide our collaboration with the sovereign of the Immortals’ World anymore with that, but it doesn’t matter that much anymore for the bigger picture.” The East Origination Saint Monarch felt troubled inside. Their archaean clans had already served as the foundation of an entire world. They possessed significant status in the Saints’ World.
He could already imagine that once the matters between him and the sovereign of the Immortals’ World were exposed, not only would his Violet Crepeflower clan’s reputation plummet, but even the Dao clan and the Lightning God clan would be dragged down because of him.
“Sigh!” He sighed inside. At that moment, the East Origination Saint Monarch seemed to grow much older.
Shortly afterwards, he ate many recovery pills in a single gulp before using a secret technique to release all the clansmen he had moved into the divine hall.
“Saint Monarch, what happened?”
“Saint Monarch, may I ask what happened? Why were we all suddenly moved into the divine hall?”
All the clansmen of the Violet Crepeflower clan were filled with uncertainties. As soon as they emerged from the supreme divine hall, many Primordial realm experts stated their doubts. Their polite voices were filled with confusion.
“Saint Monarch, y-y-y-you’re injured?” A Grand Prime ancestor immediately noticed the East Origination Saint Monarch’s weakened presence. In particular, when he saw the blood on the Saint Monarch, his face immediately changed drastically.
Immediately, the entire upper echelon of the Violet Crepeflower clan became shocked. Their hearts churned away.
They had only entered the supreme divine hall a moment earlier, yet when they emerged, the East Origination Saint Monarch who was almost unrivalled in strength had actually suffered such heavy injuries.
Had a sovereign of the Saints’ World attacked him?
“Be quiet, all of you!” The East Origination Saint Monarch growled. He no longer bothered with all the blood on him. Instead, he glanced past everyone extremely sternly and said in a dignified manner, “Don’t ask, much less discuss this. Now is not the time to talk about this. All clansmen at the Primordial realm, immediately assemble a formation and strike with your full strength. Destroy the barrier with me.”
Only now did the people of the Violet Crepeflower clan discover the barrier in the sky, sealing in the entire clan like a prison.
It left everyone extremely shocked once again, but they felt mostly disbelief this time.
After all, this barrier was not locking in some regular organisation of the Saints’ World, but an archaean clan that stood at the apex.
Very soon, a devastating rumble erupted from within the Violet Crepeflower clan. All of the Primordial realm experts had assembled a formation, striking the barrier from the Dominion’s Brush as hard as they could.
The East Origination Saint Monarch did not idle around. He erupted with his battle prowess as a Ninth Heavenly Layer Grand Prime, kicking up a startling energy storm. The sovereign god artifact in his hand erupted with blinding light, swinging it towards the barrier with a devastating glow as the laws wove around it.
At that moment, the Violet Crepeflower clan had virtually gathered the entire clan’s strength together.
Under their full-powered strike, the barrier shook violently as its energy rapidly declined.
“What exactly is this barrier? How can it be so powerful? Don’t tell me there really is a Grand Exalt eyeing our Violet Crepeflower clan?” All of the experts there were extremely alarmed.
