Sole Sword Supremacy-Chapter 589 - 593: I Came to Kill You

Holding a duster in hand, the young Taoist gracefully stepped into the elegant room, without any fuss, sat down casually, and even without concerning himself with whose wine cup it was, he picked it up and drank a cup of wine, then smiled and said, "Heir of the Celestial Path Palace, Fuchen, thank you Young Master Wang for your hospitality."

Fuchen!

At the mention of this name, everyone except Wang Junze couldn’t help but change their expressions slightly.

Though there had been some speculation before, when the other party actually introduced himself, it still gave everyone an overwhelming sense of pressure.

Heir of the Celestial Path Palace, Fuchen.

The heir of the Celestial Path Palace has always been single-line transmitted, whether in talent or aptitude, they are absolutely the best in the world. If one cannot meet the standard, the Celestial Path Palace would rather leave the heir position vacant than settle for anyone.

And those who walked out from the Celestial Path Palace as heirs are always deemed invincible among their peers.

This time, as Fuchen entered the capital, it was also the first time the heir of this generation of the Celestial Path Palace walked the earth.

Many have said that this heir of the Celestial Path Palace is the first under the Saint Realm, and many are guessing who he would choose as his target for his first battle after coming down the mountain.

But unexpectedly, Fuchen came uninvited and directly sought Wang Junze.

"You’re too kind, Daoist."

Without changing expression, Wang Junze sat down opposite Fuchen, lightly laughed and said, "I’ve long heard of the heir of the Celestial Path Palace, but I never thought I’d meet you here today."

"I just wonder, what brings Daoist to meet me?"

Putting down the wine cup, Chen Fu placed one hand on his chest, bowed and said, "I am here to kill you."

"???"

In an instant, the entire room fell into dead silence!

No one expected Chen Fu to respond so bluntly, without any concealment. This is too crazy.

"Since that’s the case, why hasn’t Daoist made a move yet?"

With a slight smile, Wang Junze shrugged his shoulders and asked leisurely.

"It’s not the right time yet."

Chen Fu answered calmly, "Therefore, is Young Master Wang willing to offer me a drink?"

"Of course!"

With an open expression, Wang Junze lifted the wine pot, poured a cup for the other party, and then slowly said, "Since it’s not the time yet, at least for now, we are not enemies."

Wang Junze’s openness and confidence also made Fuchen glance at him slightly with surprise.

One has to admit, this kind of reaction indeed caught him a bit off guard.

Taking the wine cup, Fuchen chuckled lightly and raised it as a gesture of respect, then drank it all in one go.

"Aren’t you curious why I want to kill you?"

Shrugging, Wang Junze asked back, "If I ask, can it change your mind?"

"Certainly not!"

"Then, why bother asking?"

Wang Junze smiled and answered again.

"Truly an extraordinary person."

Clapping lightly, Fuchen laughed, "What a pity, your realm is still a bit low, otherwise, I would really look forward to this battle."

"Without fighting, who can determine the outcome?"

Unchanged in expression, Wang Junze replied calmly.

"Indeed, but since you are smart, why insist on killing Prince Yu?" With a sigh, Fuchen looked up at Wang Junze and said, "If Prince Yu weren’t dead, the situation might not have deteriorated to this point, and I wouldn’t need to make a move on you."

"If Prince Yu weren’t dead, I might not even have the chance to cross paths with you."

Wang Junze answered calmly.

In the eyes of others, in Wang Junze’s situation back then, perhaps there was no need to kill Prince Yu, severely injuring the opponent would have been enough to end the fight. As long as he wasn’t dead, the Empress’ attitude wouldn’t be so resolute.

But in reality, only Wang Junze knew that if Prince Yu weren’t dead, Qu Lishang might not have even shown himself, and even if he survived by chance, he would have faced a fatal counterattack.

"Makes sense!"

Nodding, Fuchen agreed, "Is Young Master Wang interested in being a guest at my Celestial Path Palace?"

"For ten years, or twenty years?"

Smiling, Wang Junze shook his head and said, "Sorry, I’m used to being free, and can’t stand such constraints."

"That’s indeed...quite a pity."

With a hint of regret in his eyes, Fuchen slowly stood up: "Thank you, Young Master Wang, for the wine."

After saying this, Fuchen immediately turned and left, more decisively and swiftly than when he came.

He said nothing else, nor did he continue to persuade, but it was precisely for this reason, that one can feel the unwavering killing intent of Chen Fu.

It wasn’t until after Fuchen left that everyone finally came to their senses.

"Is he crazy? Without personal grievances, just because Brother Wang killed Prince Yu, he wants to kill Brother Wang?"

Pei Haoran cursed, finding it hard to understand.

"Wrong, since he mentioned Prince Yu on his own initiative, it indicates that he indeed harbors no ill will."

Shaking his head, Jing Yuan suddenly said, "His visit is not a threat, but a reminder... the one who really wants to kill Brother Wang is the Empress, and the only chance to resolve this crisis is to persuade the Empress, or force her to give up."

"That’s impossible!"

The death of Prince Yu made the Empress extremely resentful towards Wang Junze, how could she possibly give up.

"There’s nothing impossible in this world."

Jing Yuan said softly, "Nobody believed before that we could stop Prince Yu’s wedding."

"???"

Jing Yuan’s words were spoken very calmly, but the meaning implied made one’s scalp tingle.

What do you mean?!

The previous method to stop Prince Yu’s wedding was to kill Prince Yu, and now to stop the Empress, could it be... they plan to kill the Empress too?

"Isn’t he the heir of the Celestial Path Palace? Why can the Empress command people from the Celestial Path Palace?"

Pei Haoran belatedly questioned.

Nobody answered Pei Haoran’s question.

The only possibility for the Empress to enlist the Celestial Path Palace’s aid is that the Court has already divided the Four Great Celestial Sects, and killing Wang Junze was the condition put forth by the Empress. Even if it wasn’t Fuchen, perhaps other experts from the Four Great Celestial Sects would make a move.

This is the root of the problem!

But why did Chen Fu deliberately come over to indirectly reveal this information to Wang Junze under the guise of a threat?

Furthermore, the Profound Moon Sword Sect couldn’t possibly be unaware of this information, yet until now, no one has come to remind Wang Junze, could it really mean that the Profound Moon Sword Sect has tacitly agreed to abandon Wang Junze?

Although for the sake of benefits, making any kind of sacrifice is not too surprising.

However, considering the previous actions of the Profound Moon Sword Sect, it’s hard to believe they would be so cold-blooded.

If this is indeed true, then who made such a decision?

Zhou Dongfei, or...the Li Shang Sword Venerable?!

Such thoughts, just considering them, cause chills to run through one’s entire body.

The meal remained as it was, almost untouched, yet now, no one had the mind to even use their chopsticks.

Previously, the Four Great Celestial Sects entering the capital was to put pressure on the Court, so how has everything changed?

Is this the skill of His Majesty the Emperor?

How exactly did he achieve this!
