Chapter 1519: Chapter 1518: Cat Demon Inheritance?

Zhao Tianzhao lowered his body slightly and said:

"I wouldn’t dare! Emperor Yu of Tiandu Mountain is a hero, an example for cultivators, and an object of reverence for the Zhao Family. How could we dare be disrespectful to Emperor Yu? I am merely stating facts..."

Fang Yu raised his hand slightly, stopping Zhou Hai from speaking further.

"Zhao Tianzhao, you have courage... unfortunately, it’s misplaced. However... I have always been open and aboveboard in my actions. Yes, your granddaughter Zhao Mengxue, has been killed by me."

As soon as these words were spoken.

The entire audience was in an uproar.

Even Zhou Hai, who spoke up for him, was taken aback.

Zhao Mengxue was a genius among human cultivators, who had rapidly advanced to the peak realm of Primordial Human Immortal, and wouldn’t take long to break through to the Ancestor Realm.

A master with such cultivation was a boon to humanity. Emperor Yu was a hero revered by the human spirit, representing justice. How could he kill Zhao Mengxue?

Could it really be like the rumors say, that Emperor Yu was eliminating potential future enemies by killing geniuses in their cradles?

Zhao Tianzhao felt as though he had swallowed a pound of flies!

A fiery anger burned within his heart.

But what could he do, could he contend with Emperor Yu?

"Why? ......"

The arguments he had prepared were all rendered useless, as Fang Yu straightforwardly admitted his actions.

Zhao Tianzhao could only ask, why!

Fang Yu, with an indifferent expression, said:

"Zhao Mengxue collaborated with the Demon King of the Demon Cave, practicing the cultivation methods of the Demon Cave, which accounts for her rapid progress! She was already a traitor to humanity... if I didn’t kill her, she would eventually lead a massacre against humans. The prodigious students and the missing Primordial Human Immortals from Wanxian University were all due to her... tell me, should Zhao Mengxue be killed?"

Zhao Tianzhao angrily said:

"Emperor Yu! I respect you as a hero of Huaxia, but you can’t make accusations and insult my family, Mengxue! She has always been obedient, how could she be involved with creatures of the Demon Cave!?"

"Concerning this matter. What I say it is, is what it is... Do you still have any questions?"

I’ve been very patient to explain this much to you.

The Zhao Family still doesn’t acknowledge it, isn’t it obvious that they’re just looking for trouble?

A chill went through Zhao Tianzhao’s heart.

These words clearly told you, I killed your granddaughter, so what can you do about it?

"Emperor Yu! My granddaughter was a genius, now dead at your hands, is it... are you really so impervious to law and order?"

As soon as these words were spoken.

Zhao Tianzhao and others were sent flying backwards.

A mouthful of blood was sprayed out.

With a series of thuds, the Zhao Family members fell to the ground, looking at Fang Yu in horror.

Zhou Hai was also surprised, not expecting Emperor Yu to strike as soon as he spoke!

"Zhou Hai."

"Yes."

"Notify the leaders of all major territories, including Tiandu’s Tan Zhong and Wanxian’s Ding Chunqiu. Expel the Zhao Family, and forbid them from stepping a foot into Huaxia. Moreover... abolish the Qi Sea of all Zhao Family cultivators!"

"..."

This order was like a thunderclap, leaving the Zhao Family members on the ground completely at a loss.

They trembled all over.

What’s the reasoning?

What’s the law?

There’s no need to explain any of this nonsense to you, just give the order, expulsion and abolishment of cultivation!

It’s that simple and direct!

Zhou Hai was only momentarily stunned, and immediately bowed and said: "Yes!"

These are the orders personally issued by Emperor Yu.

Soon, the message was spread.

Not long after, a reply came from the Emperor City, stating that they were making every effort to eliminate the Zhao Family’s influence.

In Wanxian City, they were also settling scores with the Zhao Family, regardless of age, leaving no one spared.

Additionally, the Zhao Family’s mansion in Jiangzhou was quickly surrounded by a powerful team of cultivators, with all members arrested!

Altogether, in less than an hour.

The tasks issued by Fang Yu were thoroughly completed.

Zhou Hai was in awe of Emperor Yu’s authority, respectfully saying: "Master Emperor Yu, the matter has been settled... aside from the Zhao Family members here, all others have been captured, and additionally, we found a hundred cultivators helping the Zhao Family, causing trouble outside with banners, with a hint of protest."

"Arrest them." Fang Yu responded coldly.

"Yes!"

...

Thud!

Zhao Tianzhao, covered in sweat, immediately kowtowed and said: "Emperor Yu, spare my life! Emperor Yu, spare my life..."

Zhao Tianzhao was filled with regret.

Nearly forgetting, this world is one where the weak are prey to the strong, where might makes right.

Why argue with you so much?

Thump thump thump!

He kowtowed three times with loud bangs.

His forehead even bled, yet Fang Yu remained expressionless, merely glancing at him.

Zhao Family members also began to plead for mercy.

Constantly kowtowing on the hard floor.

But no one sympathized with them.

The Zhao Family members found themselves in this predicament, entirely of their own making.

They offended the wrong person, specifically Emperor Yu.

Even stepping back, did they develop a persecution complex, thinking a mere Zhao Family would matter to Emperor Yu of Tiandu Mountain?

What could they offer Emperor Yu?

In this vast world, with a mere wave of his hand, Emperor Yu could summon countless cultivators to serve him willingly, would he need to engage in intrigue and play kidnapping games with you?

There’s only one explanation—

What Emperor Yu said earlier was true.

There’s absolutely no need to lie, is there!

...

After a brief pause, Fang Yu said calmly: "Zhao Mengxue secretly communicated with the demons of the Demon Cave World, she deserved to die... the Zhao Family repeatedly disregarded my authority, if a tiger doesn’t show its power, do you think I’m just a sick cat?"

"..."

The Zhao Family members trembled all over, filled with regret.

Fang Yu continued to ask: "Zhao Tianzhao, let me ask you... who created Zhao Mengxue’s Qi Sea Wall back then?"

Zhao Tianzhao’s face was filled with pain, as he fell into memories.

Fang Yu added: "Don’t rush to answer, think carefully before you speak... I’ll give you a minute to think. If there’s any lie in your answer, the punishment for your Zhao Family won’t be just expulsion, but—disappearance!"

Zhao Tianzhao shuddered all over and hastily said:

"When Mengxue was young, she was weak and often sick, so I sought treatment far and wide, yet no doctor could cure her. Later... I heard of a mysterious figure near the coast with extraordinary abilities who performed some strange magic, so I took Mengxue to seek her help. Unexpectedly, the person agreed readily... but on the condition that Mengxue must go there to offer incense on the first and fifteenth of each month, for three years."

"Only after these three years was Mengxue’s illness completely cured, and her Qi Sea was rebuilt! She became an exceptionally rare cultivation genius!"

Upon hearing this.

Fang Yu frowned slightly, seemingly remembering something, and said: "What was she offering incense to?"

"This..."

Zhao Tianzhao hesitated to speak, "Even Mengxue herself didn’t know, she only said it seemed like a sculpture... the sculpture’s form resembled a cat."

Upon hearing these words.

A gleam flashed in Fang Yu’s eyes.

Then he shook his head.

He gently lifted his right hand.

A chair on the side turned to dust.

He sighed and said: "What a Nine-Life Cat Demon... I wondered why even after killing you, I could feel lingering life aura..."
