"Since you have made your choice, there's no longer a need to spare traitors who have turned against the Azure Emperor." An overwhelming pressure gushed forth from the air. As the crowd glanced upwards, they only saw a group of people descending from the skies. Although the number wasn't that great, the aura all of them exuded was extremely powerful. At the very least, every one of the new arrivals was at the third level of Heavenly Dipper which was more than a match for the strongest experts in the Skythunder Country. The expressions of those from Skythunder all changed. The successor of the Azure Emperor had already subdued so many powerful characters? Maybe, if the Skythunder Country were united, they might still be able to put up a fight against them. But now that there were besieged by internal conflict, in addition to this external threat, they knew that they had no chance of victory. "The matters between us, are still our internal clan affairs. Join with me to expel these enemies and I shall forget the matter regarding all of your betrayals today. How about it?" The Skythunder Emperor were still extremely composed at this moment. Yet, n.o.body replied to him. Those who pledged allegiance to Qin Wentian knew that an arrow that was fired would never return to the bow. The strength of the allies Qin Wentian brought with him far exceeded their expectations. They would not regret their decisions now, because if they did, it only meant death. The experts on Qin Wentian's side all landed on the ground, their terrifying aura enveloping this entire region. The crowd only saw that there was an old man clad in extremely tattered clothing, retrieving baggage from his back. After untying the knots, he took out a wooden staff from within and the instant the Skythunder Emperor saw that staff, his countenance paled immediately. "Staff of punishment." You are a descendent of the Punishment Branch of the Azure Emperor?" The Skythunder Emperor's countenance was now incredibly unsightly, as someone from a hidden Azure Faction, he had naturally heard of some secrets. Back in the era where the Azure Emperor was still alive, the Punishment Branch enjoyed the greatest prestige and authority out of all the other branches. They were the strongest faction supporting the Azure Emperor, and there were times where they invokedeven more terror than the Azure Emperor himself. Because, they were the one who meted out the punishment, not the Azure Emperor. They punished those that the Azure Emperor didn't want to punish, they killed those that the Azure Emperor didn't want to kill. In the Azure Emperor Palace, their authority was only exceeded by the Azure Emperor himself. Even those of the direct line of descent feared the people from the Punishment Branch. "Now, the 'hidden' factions will all undergo restructuring and I shall take up the position of the Punisher. Today, the whole lot of you turned traitor and even dared destroy the authority token of the Azure Emperor, your crimes are utterly reprehensible and by the rules, all of you shall be killed without mercy. However, taking into account that thousands of years have pa.s.sed, I shall give you a chance to save the majority of your clan members." The punisher spoke in a low voice as a dangerous pressure gushed forth from him. He stared at the Skythunder Emperor as he continued, "You can choose to commit suicide now, or I will exterminate your entire clan using my staff of punishment." "I wonder if the punisher of this generation is still as powerful as what the legends mentioned." The Skythunder Emperor grimly smiled. He soared into the skies and directly faced the old man. Thunder rolled and lightning flashed, as arcs of electricity blinked around him, exuding a terrifying might. "Although the Punishment Branch has whittled down to one, I will still uphold this mantle." The old man of the Punishment Branch serenely stated. Wielding the staff of punishment in his hand, he slowly took a step forward as he smashed forth with a seemingly ordinary-looking staff strike ahead. However, the countenance of the Skythunder Emperor was extremely complex, he didn't dare to underestimate his enemy at all. Rus.h.i.+ng out, an endless number of lightning serpents sprang into being as they self-destructed, caging the old man inside a forcefield of lightning. The old man was seething in anger. His hair and beard fluttered in the wind as a layer of light enveloped his body. With a strike of his staff, a black hole manifested at the tip, warping s.p.a.ce and tearing apart the void, as he escaped the force field cage of lightning. An instant later, the black hole tore through all of Skythunder Emperor's defences and pierced through his chest. As copious amounts of blood flowed out, the arcs of electricity around the emperor faded as he fell from the air, slamming heavily onto the ground. There was actually a cavity that appeared on the Skythunder Emperor's body! Staring at the old man in the middle of the air, the emperor roared, "FINE, as expected of the punisher, it would be hard to find an opponent able to match you under the Celestial Phenomenon Realm. I will accept your terms." After speaking, a sorrowful look flashed past his eyes as he slapped his hands onto his forehead, summoning a bolt of thunder to fry his brain. The ruler of a country fell just like this. He was very clear that there was no more hope for him to survive. Only through his death would his branch members not be ma.s.sacred. The Punishment Branch was famed for their iron words, if they proposed a term, they would keep to it and vice versa, if they wanted to punished someone, no matter who pleaded for the offender, they would still administer the punishment. Back then, there was a case that the Azure Emperor himself personally stepped in to plead for leniency, but it was useless. This, was the job of the Punishment Branch, this was their authority. The expressions of the remaining survivors were like dead ashes. That prince as well as that charming young woman beside him had no way to smile any more in this circ.u.mstances. Their pale countenance were also warped by a terror blossoming in their hearts. "Your highness, I don't want to die." That charming young woman looked to the prince with a pleading tone in her voice. Yet, right now, how could the prince have time to listen to her nonsense? As the punisher s.h.i.+fted his gaze onto him, he could feel the impending crisis of death, hovering around him like a spectre. "I shall follow my father in death. I hope the rest of my branch members would be spared. As for those that surrendered, don't be too harsh on them, after all regardless of what happened…we, still share the same bloodline." The prince decisively spoke as he glanced at those who knelt down earlier. After which, he slammed his palms into the heart of the charming young woman before committing suicide as well. Making the wrong choice at a crucial moment, the only path remaining is death. For the rest of the traitors that were directly involved, they too knew that they had no hopes to live today. Although they had an intense desire to survive, they knew what their fates were going to be just by looking at the eyes of the old man. In the end, all of them committed suicide, slumping onto the ground, littering the area with their corpses. Qin Wentian emotionlessly gazed at the scene unfolding before him. The him now had experienced so many things like this that his heart had already hardened. A general builds his success on ten thousand bones. On the path of the strong, corpses were a common sight, there was nothing surprising.
