Chapter 11661 — How It Would End
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 3
But no matter how hard they found it to believe, the ironclad facts lay before them: the strength of Wei Baizhan and that pack of brutes was beyond all dispute.
With the Ten Great Sinners seated there, never mind the other factions—even their own Prince Qin's Manor was under crushing pressure.
Yet at this moment, the Prince of Qin's own gaze was still fixed on the ancestral shrine of Prince Qi's Manor.
Compared with the one-sided slaughter outside, the battle within the shrine was plainly the more decisive.
Above all, they wanted to seize this chance to see for themselves just how far Wei Zhao's strength had surged after a year apart.
Unfortunately, no one could see through the veil over Prince Qi's ancestral shrine—not even the Prince of Qin.
But these titans who truly stood at the apex of the Inner Royal Court could still, more or less, sense the storm raging within the shrine.
They could even faintly perceive the collision of two god-tier powers deep in the void.
After all, the onlooker sees the game most clearly.
It was only that they lacked Wei Zhao's cheat-like vantage; at best they had a vague conjecture, and nothing more.
The Prince of Qin asked suddenly, "How do you think it will end?"
Everyone was momentarily taken aback.
This question stumped not only them—likely no one in the entire Inner Royal Court could answer it.
However lopsided the fighting outside might be, what would decide today's final outcome was still the result within the shrine.
Elder Qin spoke up. "Even the god-tier power behind Prince Qi's Manor has been stirred. The present situation is probably beyond even Wei Zhao's control; all we can do is await the result of that god-tier collision."
Bai Shizu's face showed alarm. "A collision between god-tier beings?"
He had expected today's contest to reach a very high level, but he had truly never imagined it would climb to such a height—that even god-tier powers would be roused.
That Prince Qi's Manor had a god-tier power behind it, most likely the legendary banished immortal Li Zui, was something he had long known.
But since when did Wei Zhao have a god-tier power behind him too?
God-tier powers were such lofty existences that ordinarily no one dared even mention them lightly—surely they were not about to become common as dirt?
Still, since the god-tier power behind Prince Qi's Manor had already acted, if Wei Zhao had no god-tier power at his back, the matter would surely have been settled long ago.
That no clear result had emerged was itself a kind of proof.
After all, even if a god-tier power could not descend directly upon the Inner Royal Court, could not strike at Wei Zhao himself across the boundary, if such a being truly set its mind to dealing with him, there would be at least ten thousand ways—a matter of moments.
Qin Siren said thoughtfully, "If a god-tier power really does stand behind Wei Zhao, then the various changes in the Nation of Sin make sense."
The others nodded one after another.
Not only these few of Prince Qin's Manor—similar mistaken conclusions were playing out again and again among the decision-makers of every other faction.
After all, no one would leap to thoughts of the Great Ape King's existence without cause; conjectures of this kind were, in the eyes of all parties, the most reasonable possibility.
In truth, this too was an effect Wei Zhao had deliberately cultivated.
Jiang Xiaoshang was still hard at work playing his own ancestor.
Only by conjuring such an unfathomable god-tier power behind him could the many suspicious points about Wei Zhao be explained; otherwise, piecing together all the traces left in the past, someone might well have started thinking in the direction of an ancient-god cultivator.
That would be the real trouble.
Just as every faction hung in suspense, an unprecedented surge of energy suddenly exploded out of thin air, all but sweeping across the skies above the entire Inner Royal Court.
