The Indomitable Master of Elixirs

Chapter 1249: You Are All Accomplices To Murder (1)

A dead silence fell across the congregation at the Sa Er Emperor’s words.

It was obvious that the Divine Temple had been planning this for a long time. It was ridiculous that a bunch of intelligent rulers had been completely ignorant of everything. They had always held the Divine Temple in such high esteem, never realizing that they were such terrifying devils.

“What does the Divine Temple want to do? Are they intending to take over the world?” One ruler had gone pallid. He still did not understand why the Divine Temple would do this. The status of the Divine Temple was already beyond that of any kingdom. Even if they did not overtake the military forces of all the nations, they remained sacrosanct in the hearts of everyone.

Every single ruler had the same question in mind. With their current lofty status, why was the Divine Temple doing this?

And it was because the status of the Divine Temple was so sacred that none of the rulers had any reservations against them.

Ji Fengyan looked at the troubled rulers and sighed softly. “You are right.”

Everyone focused their attention on Ji Fengyan. Many of them had looked down on her previously and treated her kingdom as a joke. When Ji Fengyan had spoken out earlier to defuse the situation, they had also thought that it was because she was a coward afraid of death.

But now, everyone realized that this girl might be even wiser than they were.

“Ji… um… Hua Xia Queen, may I ask if you know of something?” One of rulers who had disparaged Ji Fengyan previously was now bravely seeking guidance from her.

Ji Fengyan naturally understood that this was not the time to be concerned with personal grievances. She replied, “I wonder if anyone here has heard of the Heavenly Fiend Clan?”

The group exchanged muddled looks.

They were completely unfamiliar with the name Heavenly Fiend Clan, and this was because the Divine Temple had covered up that part of history.

Ji Fengyan took a deep breath and narrated the entire story behind the Heavenly Fiend Clan and the Divine Temple.

“You have all along thought that the demons and humans are natural enemies. And that you must rely on World-Termination-Armour and Terminators for world peace. But did you ever think of why the Divine Temple is putting in so much effort to help you defend against the demons? If they truly wished to put down those demons, why bother to distribute the World-Termination-Armour to the various kingdoms? Why are they not gathering their own powers to exterminate the demons once and for all?” Ji Fengyan looked at the crowd without expression. The Heavenly Fiend Clan was vicious, but these rulers had also been accomplices to their crime.

Why did Terminators exist?

On the surface, it seemed as if they were enjoying a privilege over normal citizens, but few knew that they were burdened with a horrifying destiny.

The moment they assumed the World-Termination-Armour, they had already stepped into death’s shadow.

Showered by endless praise and adoration, how could they know that their existence had been a conspiracy right from the beginning? That demon blood flowed in their bodies?

All the rulers had been using Terminators as pawns. Did they show them the slightest bit of guilt and sympathy then?

On one hand, Ji Fengyan wanted to disrupt the Heavenly Fiend Clan’s scheme, but on the other, she remained conflicted towards those rulers, who failed to treat the Terminators as rightful human beings.
