The Adventures Of The Young Master

Chapter 690 - Burning White

The elders revealed terrified expressions. Of all the people in the empire, there was only one person they couldn't predict and control, and that's Ancestor Zhang! This was God King's most trusted aide and a friend most of the time. God King himself knew that he couldn't trust the empire to the elders as they were incompetent and lack the knowledge to handle the empire with a long record of history.

Thus, the position fell to Ancestor Zhang. The elders didn't like this outcome but they had no choice, either. It was God King's decree and no one should question it or else they might face his wrath.

And now, the situation turned worse for these elders. It seemed they stepped on the wrong tail this time around! What could they do against one of the strongest supremes of the world? All of the other supremes except the two were just his juniors!

"Why not saying anything? Cat got your tongue?" Ancestor Zhang laughed. If a glare could kill, the elders were already impaled many times now, "You elders are very brave to question my, Lan Zhang's, decision as if you stand above me. If I wish it, you five will die without knowing how or you will suffer a fate worse than death right here, right now. Dare me."

"We don't dare..." The five elders were scared silly and immediately knelt in all fours, "We seek forgiveness, Your Majesty. We are blinded by our greed and we cannot maintain our reason..."

They were all greedy bastards, and at the same time they were also very scared of death. They couldn't live as long as God King and the other supremes could thus they were doing everything to prolong their lives. How could they swallow it if they die here from the ancestor's hands?

Ancestor Zhang harrumphed. These old men would do everything to stay alive and bite when they had the chance. So how could he let them roam free? Now that they tested his patience, he had the rightful reason to do something against them.

"Imperial Captain Deus, come over here." Ancestor Zhang looked at the knight who was standing by the door.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Imperial Captain Deus immediately went over and knelt, "What can I do for you, Your Majesty?"

"You are very familiar with the law of our empires, right? What will happen if there are people who questioned the ruler's authority?" Ancestor Zhang was beaming with smile as he looked at the elders.

The five elders lost their colors as blood was drained from their faces. They looked at the ancestor like he was some sort of ghost. This old man would push this matter through!

"To answer Your Majesty's question, it is undeniable that death is the punishment no matter what their status in the empire is." The imperial captain sternly said.

Upon hearing this, the elders trembled and looked down in fear. They were afraid to meet Ancestor Zhang's eyes. No, they were afraid of everything that is about to happen.

"Your Majesty Zhang, please spare us. We don't know better. Please give us a chance..." Elder Mus begged for their lives. Then suddenly, he thought of something sinister and shouted, "No, just only spare me Your Majesty! These four are the culprits and I'm just affected by their malice!"

The four elders looked at Mus with stupefaction registered in their eyes. This old lad was willing to sell them off to save his ass!

"Mus, what are you talking about?" Elder Triu was enraged, "You really want to save yourself that much that you're willing to sacrifice us your brothers?"

"What are you saying, Triu?! You all have forced me to join you and I have no choice! Don't include me to your deaths!" Elder Mus looked as if he was truly wronged, "You all are born with malice and I'm just affected by it!"

"You..." Elder Triu was choked speechless. He almost fainted from anger because of Mus who was acting like he truly was wronged. If there was an Oscar or such of an award in this world, Elder Mus might have been nominated.

"Alright, stop arguing." Ancestor Zhang smirked and looked at Elder Mus, "No matter what you say, you are still part of the group and as a matter of fact, you are the one who showed great disrespect towards me. How can I let you off just because you say you're wronged?"

Elder Mu almost fainted on the spot. He was so desperate that he said so many stupid things, and he only realized it now!

Elder Triu sneered at Elder Mu for trying to save his ass by using his brothers. It was a very condemning act as he was even willing to sacrifice them for his own gain!

"The five of you, fret not." Seeing the scared expressions of the elders, Ancestor Zhang spoke, "I won't kill you all, that's for sure. I will be giving you best punishment suited for you all."

He paused for a moment and continued, "Imperial Captain Deus, what is the best punishment our empire has again?"

"Your Majesty, it is to live in the Eternity of the Damned." Captain Deus answered.

It was like a thunderclap and a bucket of cold water that was poured on the five elders. They had lived enough to know what kind of place the Eternity of the Damned was.

It was a place filled with all white. There would be no colors one could see except white. Even one's appearance and all was white! Not just that, the place was scorching hot that it would penetrate deep within the bones. The elders had to be there for the rest of their lives, and before they die, they would turn crazy and scared of everything.

The place had also another and more popular term, Burning White.

"Then, hereby. I, Lan Zhang, the current ruler of the Soaring Immortal Empire, declare the five of you to rot in Eternity of the Damned!" Ancestor Zhang didn't hesitate to declare.

After hearing this, the five elders slumped down and felt like their lifespan was sucked as they appeared older than before.
