âThe Emperor Yan Spirit Bell rang. Has a foreign enemy invaded our clan?â
As soon as Jiang Liuhuo and Jiang Lanshui arrived, their eyes were locked on Bo Yazi.
Jiang Yutong recounted to them everything that had happened.
After listening to the full story, Jiang Liuhuo took off the red gourd at his waist and took a sip of wine before saying indifferently, âFighting us with your life? You may try and see if you can cause any damage to our clan.â
Meanwhile, the white-haired Jiang Lanshui who looked like a senile old man let out a long sigh, âWhat a misfortune! It has been too many years since that incident. Why canât you of Fangchun Mountain just leave us alone?â
Bo Yazi scoffed, âI still clearly remember your attitude toward Fangchun Mountain before the Dao War of Emperors, and itâs not anything like this at all.â
Jiang Yutongâs face sank, âBut Fangchun Mountain was destroyed, and my Jiang Clan has paid a great price as well. How else do you expect us to treat remnants like yourselves?â
âRemnants?â Lin Xun, who had been treated lightly the whole time, suddenly said with a deep gaze, âIâve been holding back out of respect for you seniors, but arenât youâ¦a little too brazen here?â
Upon hearing his monotone remark, the four Emperor experts of Jiang Yutong, Jiang Rui, Jiang Liuhuo, and Jiang Lanshui were stunned.
When had a little supreme Saint-King brat dared to speak to them like this?
This appeared absurd as, throughout the entire starry sky, Emperors were overlord existences that were looked up to by the rest of the beings.
Even a quasi-Emperor was nothing but an ant in the eyes of a true Emperor!
Yet, a supreme Saint-King had just said to their faces that they wereâ¦too brazen!
âBrazen? Killing you is no different than crushing an ant to me.â Jiang Yutongâs voice was chilling. It felt as though the supreme will of heaven was descending as terrifying might spread from him and pressed down on Lin Xun.
âIf you want to deal with my junior uncle, youâll have to walk over my corpse first!â Bo Yazi stepped out. His clothes fluttered as he released an aura that quietly dissolved the terrifying might.
He was determined and domineering.
âJunior Uncle?â Jiang Liuhuo snorted out a laugh. âYou are simply a disgrace to us Emperors by honoring this small thing as your senior.â
âForget it. Capture them, then investigate their true intention for being here before disposing of them,â said Jiang Lanshui. His voice was old and hoarse, but his attitude was the most domineering among the four.
What he said was treated as an order as Jiang Yutong, Jiang Rui, and Jiang Liuhuo unanimously started to operate their power.
Boom!
Horrifying auras belonging to the Emperor Stage burst out like great dragons coming out of the abyss. They blotted out the sky and completely isolated this cavernous paradise from the outside world.
Jiang Lanshui knocked his green, seven-foot bamboo cane on the ground. âThis is Emperor Yan City, our territory. When you attack, take care not to harm our clansmen.â
âOf course.â The other three smiled in unison, their demeanor relaxed.
How could four Emperor experts fail to seize a meager remnant of Fangchun Mountain?
The atmosphere was murderous.
Bo Yazi took a deep breath and straightened his spine with a determined look. He transmitted, âJunior Uncle, I still have some trump cards in reserve. There is hope to send you away safely if I fight them with everything I have, my life included.
âIn the future, if you have the opportunity to see Teacher again, please tell him that his little fisherman has no longer had any regrets in life after I was able to follow him on the path of cultivation!â
He was about to attack after that, but Lin Xunâs voice rang out in his ears, âIf you still respect me as your junior uncle, then leave this matter to me.â
What?
Bo Yaziâs eyes narrowed as he almost couldnât believe his ears. How could his junior uncle be making this kind of joke at a time like this?
They were facing four Emperors here!
âAttack,â commanded Jiang Lanshui with nothing but indifference on his aged features.
The other three nodded.
Boom!
Terrifying forces of Law Power then emerged from all four of them. The blazing forces were like heavenly chains as they intertwined and flowed with a supreme air.
Just that might alone was capable of flattening the world!
âSuppress!â The four elders of the Jiang Clan moved in unison.
Jiang Yutong deployed a dao sword. Its edge zapped like electricity and was dazzling like the sun, reflecting the terrifying visions of everything being incinerated.
Such was the dao sword âSoul Burnerâ!
Jiang Rui waved his hand, a golden soft whip took off into the air. It rapidly lashed and created heavy shadows that manifested into a vast, golden stream of Law Power. It was as though an immortal river had cascaded down from the sky.
Such was the sacred whip âGolden River Whipâ!
Buzzzz!
The red gourd bottle in Jiang Liuhuoâs hand also flew up. Steaming with a fiery haze, the bottle suddenly spat out a dull flame from its mouth.
It was the spirit gourd âTurbid Fire Gourdâ!
Jiang Lanshui lifted his cane and pointed it at the air. Instantly, countless lush-green lightning arcs coalesced and merged into a glistening and translucent bamboo leaf that shone brightly in the void.
This was the ancient treasure âHeavenly Lightning Bamboo Caneâ!
In just a blink, the four Emperors had summoned four Emperor-grade treasures and attacked together with a thunderous momentum. It was evident that they wanted to quickly suppress Bo Yazi in one fell swoop.
The reason was that the battle would spread to Emperor Yan City if it went on for too long, which was something they absolutely could not tolerate.
In this second when killing intent came crashing down, Bo Yaziâs expression changed drastically. His breath was lodged in his throat as he sensed an intense and deadly threat.
He could no longer care about anything else, nor could he even think of consulting Lin Xunâs opinion. He could not let his junior uncle fall here no matter what.
However, before he could make his move, a figure abruptly appeared in front of him, raised her hand, and pressed it in the air.
The woman was like an illusion. Bathed in a dream-like radiance, she exuded a divine and transcendent aura.
It felt as though she had always been here. Her demeanor was calm and her movements were light, but when her fair and delicate hand pressed in the voidâ¦
With a buzzing wail, the dao sword Soul Burner trembled like a snake that had been poked in its tender spot. It was sent flying while quivering nonstop, and its aura quickly dimmed.
Jiang Yutong was visibly shocked. His mind was intensely shaken, and his qi and blood were rushing backward.
Immediately following, there was a dull and deafening rumble as an Emperor aura exploded into a magnificent rain of Law Power light in the field.
Everyone saw Jiang Ruiâs Golden River Whip roll backward and viciously whip its owner on the shoulder, drawing a splatter of blood. Grunting in pain, he staggered back several steps.
They saw Jiang Liuhuoâs Turbid Flame Gourd slam onto the ground with a bang. Blood seeped out from his lips, and horror was written on his face.
They heard a loud explosion as the leaf that was condensed from countless green thunderbolts suddenly burst into a rain of colorful light.
Jiang Lanshui stopped breathing for a second, and his cane shook violently in his hand.
All of this took time to describe, but in reality it all happened in an instant.
It had been so fast that before Lin Xun could even react, the joint attack of the four Jiang Clanâs Emperors had been nullified.
From beginning to end, all that illusory delicate figure had done was tap the air!
Bo Yazi, who had been prepared to throw away his life, gasped. Despite being an ancient Emperor monster, he was still appalled by the unimaginable scene that had just played out.
As the dust dispersed, the expressions of the Jiang Clanâs elders were grave as they fixed their gazes on the uninvited guest not far away.
The womanâs face could not be seen at all, while her tall and slender figure was enveloped in streams of ethereal luminescence.
She looked lonely and distant as she stood there alone.
However, her aura caused the hearts of the Jiang elders to palpitate, as it was impossible for them to see into her cultivation!
âSenior, I really had no choice this time and had to trouble you,â Lin Xun interrupted the atmosphere with a helpless voice.
The woman was none other than Xi who had been meditating in Omega Secret-Realm!
During these years, Lin Xun had thought that he would never have to borrow her power, only to realize now that he was still too small in front of Emperor figures!
Lin Xunâs words caused the expressions of the Jiang elders to change. It became apparent to them that the little thing they regarded as an ant had actually come prepared.
As for Bo Yazi, only now did he secretly heave a sigh of relief. He was as proud as he was surprised. He is Teacherâs junior brother after all, how can it be so easy to bully him?
What he was feeling was very similar to what Heng Xiao had felt when he had witnessed Lin Xun take first place in the Dao Debate of Cloud State.
âItâs just a small matter, no trouble to talk about. I havenât come out for some fresh air in a long time anyway,â said Xi, her voice cool and ethereal.
A small matter⦠Lin Xun was stunned.
It was a battle between Emperors, and the other party is still a whole group of old Emperor monsters at that. How does it only amount to a small matter when it comes to Xi?
âWho are you, Fellow Daoist? Why do you also want to meddle in the affairs of our Jiang Clan?â asked Jiang Lanshui in a heavy tone as he dared not make a rash move.
Xiâs obscure and unfathomable aura made him feel extremely threatened.
Jiang Yutong and the other two felt the same. Xiâs appearance had been very sudden, and it was evident that she was incomparably terrifying.
As someone who had been able to squash their attacks with a lift of her hand, how could she be an ordinary expert?
Xi didnât pay Jiang Lanshui any attention as she softly asked Lin Xun, âI saw that they intended to bully you. How do you say we handle them now?â
Hearing this, Jiang Yutong couldnât help but say, âFellow Daoist, this is Emperor Yan City. Even though you are very strong, you stillâ¦â
Before he could finish, Xi flicked a finger.
Bang!
Jiang Yutong was knocked flying, coughing up blood in a sorry state.
Jiang Lanshui and the other two felt their hair stand on end.
The Emperor Stage had long been the pinnacle of the nebula. Cultivators of this stage were regarded as supreme lords who possessed the power to scale heaven and earth.
However, only Emperor experts knew what a long and obscure road the Emperor Stage was, and even Emperors had great power gaps between one another.
They could be compared to climbers of the same mountain. Some were still standing at the foot of the mountain, some were climbing on the mountainside, while some had reached the mountain top!
The mysterious woman, without a doubt, was a terrifying existence whose power was far beyond their imagination!
âI donât like being interrupted when I speak,â said Xi aloofly.
Under normal circumstances, the Jiang Clan elders would have been displeased by this remark, but now, they all fell silent with dimly flickering expressions.
They had realized the severity of their situation.
This was the Imperial Jiang Clan, but the fact that this was their territory was nothing in front of the mysterious woman!
