Chapter 6: The Emperor’s Arrival, I Have High Hopes for You!
Xuanqing Sect, Jingsi Tower.
Suddenly, the sky gathered dark clouds and various strange celestial phenomena appeared.
A suffocating heavy aura pressed down.
Azure Prefecture!
At this moment, all the sects within hundreds of miles felt it.
The heads and elders of the major sects flew out to look afar towards the direction of Xuanqing Sect.
Some had solemn expressions, shaking their heads in silence.
Others were gleeful.
An old man with a thin body looked at the strange celestial phenomena and sighed, “Xuanqing Sect is undergoing tribulation!”
“If they pass, they will rise to great heights. If they don’t, they will vanish like smoke.”
Boom!
Suddenly, a thunderous sound echoed from afar.
That terrifying disturbance could be felt even hundreds of miles away by some cultivators above the Transformation Realm.
Powerful spells clashed in the air!
They erupted into shocking storms.
There were ice-sealing spells spanning thousands of miles and snow-flurrying spells, as well as spells that could burn the heavens and boil the seas.
In the dazzling light, what was emitted was deadly power.
Even a Transformation Realm cultivator would perish if touched by just a bit!
In Jingsi Hall.
Yan Changkong sat cross-legged with his eyes closed. His slightly plump body trembled, wanting to take more pills.
But he found there were none left.
Only an empty bottle remained.
He knew now that there was no turning back; he had to endure.
“Now, no one has managed to break through, which means my plan is correct!”
Yan Changkong held his breath and tried to calm himself.
He decided not to think too much and waited quietly.
At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded outside, its pitch overlapping, making it hard to discern gender. It seemed like a question but also a confession.
“The secret of the Eternal Emperor, who doesn’t want to know? Why fight to the d*ath?”
“Let’s search souls here, shall we? We can all share.”
At this moment, the intense spell collisions stopped, and the earth became quieter.
Yan Changkong’s heart raced, and he silently prayed, “Don’t scare me! I need to pee!”
After a brief silence.
An old voice resounded, “The Eternal Emperor once did us a favor. Tonight, no matter what, we won’t let you harm anyone from Xuanqing Sect.”
Zhao Shanhe of the Liyue Celestial Dynasty stood on a Xuan Bird, holding a bl**d-red longsword, and sternly declared, “Liyue Celestial Dynasty’s Xuan Bird Guard will definitely hold our ground!”
Directly and without concern for exposing their identities.
At this moment, Liu Piaopiao’s voice also faintly echoed, “Jade Pool Sacred Land shares the same sentiment!”
Another period of silence followed.
After the fierce battle in the sky, each side had figured out their opponent’s strength.
They quickly divided into two camps.
Facing off against each other.
For a while, both sides were evenly matched, neither able to gain the upper hand.
“Huff…”
Yan Changkong breathed a sigh of relief, his hands trembling uncontrollably.
However, for now, things were temporarily safe.
As the standoff continued and negotiations failed, both sides burst forth with their might.
A deadly aura rose to the sky.
After a brief pause, another massive storm began to brew.
Just then, something unexpected happened!
Boom!
Both camps were startled and looked up at the sky.
The moonlight was completely blocked!
Boundless black mist surged, transforming the area around Xuanqing Sect into a vast darkness.
Not a single ray of light remained!
Someone exclaimed in shock, “This aura, it’s the Emperor!”
Emperor was not just a title.
Only cultivators who reached the Tribulation Period had the qualifications to be called Emperors.
Emperors were the strongest beings on this land!
Instantly, the world fell into an endless darkness, with no trace of light.
Even the flames emitted by the Xuan Birds could not illuminate anything.
Then, a pair of eyes appeared in the darkness.
A pair of pale purple pupils, coldly observing everyone below, their deep gaze captivating.
“This is everything I will destroy for the Eternal Emperor!”
“Get lost!”
“Otherwise, I’ll show no mercy!”
That murderous voice, like a mountain crashing into everyone’s hearts.
On a mountain peak hundreds of miles away.
A young man in a long robe, with a jade-like face, watched this scene, smiling bitterly and shaking his head.
“There are too many emotional debts left by my master, it’s complicated!”
He hesitated for a moment but decided not to intervene.
Overall, everything was still under control.
The arrival of an Emperor.
No one had expected this.
Without much hesitation, both sides retreated respectfully.
They knew they couldn’t match an Emperor.
Moments later, various anomalies above Xuanqing Sect disappeared, revealing starry skies.
Everything returned to normal.
It was as if nothing had happened, a peaceful night.
The forces originally guarding Xuanqing Sect dispersed.
They understood that Xuanqing Sect was saved.
If the Emperor wanted to capture Yan Changkong and search his soul, all they needed to do was wave a finger.
Why wait until now and personally come?
Liu Piaopiao flew away, frowning, “When did another Emperor appear in this world? Strange!”
She pondered for a moment but found no clues, assuming it was someone who had recently broken through.
Suddenly—
Liu Piaopiao sensed something, her eyes narrowing. In the darkness, a sword beam flashed!
A longsword tore through space, shooting downward!
Straight towards the valley outside Xuanqing Sect, the place where the Emperor used to reside.
The longsword hovered above the Emperor’s former residence, its sword energy surging!
This sword was a Dao-grade magic treasure!
“You owe me this, Eternal Emperor!”
A furious shout echoed in the world, lingering for a long time. Everyone in Xuanqing Sect could hear it clearly.
In Jingsi Hall.
Yan Changkong’s heart pounded wildly, beads of sweat forming on his face.
He looked in horror at the figure before him.
Accurately speaking, it was a mass of black mist, but those pale purple pupils within made his heart race.
Yan Changkong realized immediately that this was an Emperor!
Moreover, this Emperor seemed to have a deep grudge with Lin Feng.
“Is it inevitable that I will d*e?”
Yan Changkong’s face turned pale, preparing for the worst.
After a brief silence.
A voice came from the black mist, cold yet without any killing intent, “I watch over you!”
Pausing, the person in the black mist continued, “Before he arrives, protect the sect, understand?”
“If a powerful cultivator attacks, my sword will protect you!”
Yan Changkong had closed his eyes, waiting for d*ath. After a moment of shock, he opened his eyes wide.
But in front of him was an empty space.
That mass of black mist had vanished.
“What… ”
After a moment, Yan Changkong regained his senses and whispered, “Are they not enemies? Unbelievable! You almost scared me to d*ath.”
At this moment, the sun rose in the east, a ray of light shining through the window onto him.
Yan Changkong took a deep breath, feeling the slight warmth, a sense of rebirth.
“Haha, I finally survived!”
At this moment, footsteps echoed outside the door, and Grand Elder Chen Xiu led a group of people rushing in.
“Master!”
“Are you alright?”
Chen Xiu and the other elders of Xuanqing Sect looked surprised and cheered.
Yan Changkong frowned, “What could happen to me? Running around like that, how unbecoming? Stay calm!”
Chen Xiu and the others felt ashamed, admiring their master even more.
In such a dangerous situation, Yan Changkong remained so composed, sitting motionless.
Just his composure alone was admirable!
Chen Xiu said apologetically, “Since the Master is fine, we should leave.”
“Wait.”
“Help me down, I’ve taken too many pills and can’t stand up.”
Chen Xiu: “…”
