Emperor's Reckoning

Old Dan immediately felt the pressure vanished from his entire body. His eyes were in disbelief before he glanced back.

"Heh, ha, HAHAHAHA!"

The old man got up on his feet and laughed erratically. Though his face was disfigured from the beating, it didn't erase the joy from what his eyes had seen. With blood kept pouring out from his nose he said, "Even the heaven has prosecuted you! You are a monster, a devil that shouldn't exist in this plane!"

"Watch, your, tongue."

A deep voice bellowed from up above.

"?!"

He felt a deep killing intent creeping up his spine. Every goosebump rose on his skin as not even his gaze could be moved.

The sky unfolded as the white clouds immediately turned dark and covered the sun. Blasts of lighting were jumping around from one another while the wind turned chaotic without any real directions.

Everyone else who looked up had their words stuck on their throats. Even Sophia never thought that this would happen in the tournament. She couldn't help but gulp at the sight of a giant being that was casually floating in the sky.

"Such, divinity," she muttered.

Van had his whole body shook as he tried to walk forward until his feet refused to take another step. His finger shuddered as he pointed the sky.

"Those jade scales, the mouth of a crocodile, the horns of a deer, the whiskers of a tiger. It described only one being, being that said to rule heaven, the ultimate dragon race."

"T-T-True Dragon!" exclaimed the beastmaster with his saliva scattering to the dirt.

His words sent vibrations to the whole arena. The mythical being only spoken in legends was actually right before their very eyes. An opportunity they could never dream of, a story to tell to their descendants.

Argeon could only make a wry smile, "I know you have your secrets, a man coming down from the sky rather than the gate. But goddamn it brat! This is beyond what I'm expecting! Oooh, I'm so waiting for what you and my dear niece would make in the future!"

The aces who managed to hold on their feet let out a sigh.

"We, we never had a chance, to begin with, didn't we," muttered Audrich.

Chloe could only glare at the young man who was still oozing blood from his body. (Was he holding back, back at the banquet?!).

Shen stared down, "The heaven? Prosecuted my grandson? Hahahaha!"

His laughter shook the continent as he swam around the sky before continuing, "The heaven shall kneel before my grandson and begs for mercy if they even think about it."

"Hmm, looks like your death is due," muttered Shen before he spoke to everyone.

"Listen, nobody with ill intent shall approach my grandson, no matter what your backing is, I will kill you if you do."

The true dragon suddenly vanished to thin air as the weather returned to normal. The crowd was still in disbelieve as to what happened. Surely they would tell everyone they knew about the event, whether they believed it or not, whether it will become rumors, it didn't matter.

(My-my death is due? What the fuck is he talking about) thought Dan Hufei.

Looking at his situations he knew he had no way to ask for aid now. Considering his identity against that mythical being he had no chance. A sane person would aid someone with a dragon as his grandfather rather than an old man with some social status.

"Looks like karma bite your ass Dan Hufei!" shouted the beastmaster from a distance.

"Van," replied Dan with gritted teeth.

"You reap what you sow Dan."

"So what! You would do the same if you were me!"

"No! I won't include my granddaughter or any of my loved ones into my scheme."

Dan Hufei stood silent for a second before replying, "Hah who cares about any of that, as long as I live I can always rebuild my reputation!"

"Enough!" Sophia suddenly shouted.

Taking a deep breath she looked at the old man before saying, "You have failed your job as an overseer, you failed your duty as to remain neutral."

"Not only that, you have endangered the participants of this tournament, you almost destroyed their cultivation and thus cutting off their future."

Sophia then furrowed her eyebrows before continuing, "The Treas family will not abide by this! You shall now be expelled of your position as an overseer!"

"To hell with Treas family! Treas is not the only powerful family, there are others out there that rivals yours!"

Seeing that there was no way for him to get into Treas's family good side, then there was no point for him to hide his real intention.

"Grandfather please stop this!"

Fue placed her hand on top of her chest, pleading.

"Shut up! You are of no use to me anymore! You are nothing but a chess piece to expand my influence!"

Tears immediately ran down her cheeks as her eyes turned red. She couldn't believe what she just heard but the reality was in front of her.

"You heartless, motherfucker!"

Old Dan jerked his ears the moment he heard that but as he glanced around he saw no one seemed to open their mouths.

"Ah, handsome thief what are you doing?! You shouldn't be standing up!"

He couldn't stand straight and his clothing was painted red. His ears, his eyes, all of his orifices bleed yet he glared at the old man in front of him.

"You... It's all because of you! But no matter, I will deal with you later."

With a flick of his finger, Dan Hufei retrieved the Returning Jade Stone from her grandaughter's ring which he took earlier.

"Hahaha! Goodb-!"

Both of his hands suddenly flew off his arms.

"Argh!"

Dan was kneeling in pain before a silhouette appeared behind him.

"You deserve to die."

Her golden hair fluttered before her arm went through the left side of Dan Hufei's back.

His vision blurred as he saw droplets of his blood stained the ground. .. His figure slowly slumped down before his eyes went dim.
