Chapter 321: 175, tearing up the covenant, a great war is about to start_2
If he hadn't guessed wrong, that scroll must be...
"Four hundred years ago at the Jin Capital convention, the treaty clearly stated that to ensure the neighboring states do not wage war against each other, powers are not allowed to cross the state borders to strike. Now someone has breached the treaty first, so do not blame our Holy Church for tearing up this treaty..."
It indeed was the Jin Land treaty; Hou Yuxiao's eyes revealed a flash of understanding.
"Brother Huangfu, we are merely projections here, and have not crossed the border!"
Wuxin the Taoist Master's statement had no issues. He, along with the Southern Medicine Master, including Jing Tianyu, and even Huangfu Xing himself, were only here in projections today, not in person. Strictly speaking, they indeed had not crossed the border, therefore not violating the Jin Capital convention treaty.
"Did I say it was you who breached the treaty?"
Jing Tianyu's expression darkened as he glanced at the spot where Ji Yanzhi had just disappeared and stared directly at Huangfu Xing, saying, "Are you implying that you want to blame Ji Yanzhi's crossing of the border on my Xuzhou?"
Huangfu Xing took a slight step forward, his aged, hoarse voice suddenly becoming deep and undeniably imperious.
"At this point, still trying to argue? Since Wanjian Holy Sect dares to test our Yongzhou through Ji Yanzhi's breach, there is no need to hide or protect. Without your Wanjian Holy Sect's meddling behind the scenes, how would the Blood Demon have revived, how could Ji Yanzhi have come here, and how could millions of creatures in Tongling have died!"
Jing Tianyu's face showed a hint of frenzy, and the Sword Qi floating around his body became even more fierce with his emotions. As a genuine Great Power of the Sword Path, with Wanjian Holy Sect being one of the ten Holy Lands, by the current worldly situation, their status was still above the Demon Sect.
But at this moment, Huangfu Xing spoke to him as if he were chiding, showing no regard for his Wanjian Holy Sect. Jing Tianyu, being one of the three great elders of the Holy Sect and a famous Sword Venerable throughout the World, how could he tolerate this!
"Huangfu Xing, do you truly believe that I fear you?"
As the words of Jing Tianyu fell, a sharp wave of Sword Qi surged around him, stirring the airflow within a hundred miles with his body as the radius, even dispersing the clouds in the sky.
The powerful aura enveloped the land, and even the six top experts floating in mid-air trembled slightly, let alone Hou Yuxiao who stood on the ground and had to tap into his True Qi just to barely stand stead.
And those ordinary Martial Artists, whether from the Hou Clan, the Mansion Army, or even Jing Tianyu's own Xuzhou Army, were instantly suppressed by this energy surge, with many directly collapsing to the ground; the few that remained standing were merely gritting their teeth in desperate support.
"It's only a projection... If Jing Tianyu himself were here, wouldn't we all die just by his glance? I thought Ji Yanzhi's power was unimaginable, but Jing Tianyu is even stronger!"
The soft exclamation of Yucheng did not make Hou Yuxiao anxious; rather, he looked up somewhat eagerly at Huangfu Xing cloaked in a black robe.
If Jing Tianyu is this formidable and didn't even leave him face, yet still dared to loudly scold him, isn't Huangfu Xing even stronger?
However, everyone hadn't expected Jing Tianyu's fierce reaction to be ignored by Huangfu Xing, who seemed as if he couldn't feel the Sword Qi around at all, and simply unfolded that golden scroll...
The scroll wasn't big, only about two feet when spread open, but as soon as it was unfolded, it emitted a dazzling golden glow that instantly sprawled across the entire sky.
A painting resembling the heavenly Divine Court slowly emerged within the golden light.
It depicted a magnificent palace with bizarre and mythical creatures flying around its exterior; inside, the palace was resplendent with treasures and mystical items rare in the world, even the most ordinary floors appeared to be made of Mysterious Gold, with an extravagance that was beyond belief.
Beautiful maidens moved about; Divine Generals in golden armor guarded all sides; civil and military officials stood in two rows, each exuding a powerful aura.
Nine thrones were inside the hall, above each sat a silhouette; the air around these figures was incredibly intimidating, and the nine encircled a central purple-golden throne like stars circling a moon.
Above the throne sat a figure, crowned with a Flat Sky Crown with Pearl Curtain, wearing a dark imperial robe, holding a golden cup as if inviting the nine below to drink together.
Hou Yuxiao was shocked; he could vaguely guess that this scene must be that of the Jin Capital treaty from four hundred years ago, but the question was, how could the scenes stored in the scroll be so realistic?
He could feel that even an ordinary maid in that Divine Court had a higher Cultivation level than he did, let alone those Divine Generals, civil and military officials, the nine silhouettes, and even that central emperor...
"The treaty by the Emperor of Jin has shielded the peace between the two states for over four hundred years. Today, since Wanjian Holy Sect has broken the treaty first, Rakshasa Holy Sect can no longer blindly follow. I… Left Protector Huangfu Xing, on behalf of the Sect Hierarch Sikong Xingzhou, hereby declare to The World, the peace treaty between Yong and Xu States is hereby annulled!"
Huangfu Xing, facing the splendid scene of the Jin Capital Divine Court in the sky, though his tone was already extremely mild, his words still fell like a giant rock into everyone's hearts, instantly stirring up thousands of waves...
The golden light and the spectacle of the Jin Capital Divine Court in the sky crumbled and shattered with Huangfu Xing's declaration, as the scene recorded was of the ten Holy Lands signing the treaty back then, and now with Huangfu Xing declaring the treaty null and void, it naturally disintegrated along with it.
