In the dim hall, the figure sitting cross-legged on the ground suddenly opened his eyes. A gleam of brilliance flashed in his eyes, and a hoarse voice came out of his mouth, "Nero is dead?"
Nile was the name of the cultivator who had fought with Yang Qi. Unfortunately, until he knew that the other party was dead, Yang Qi didn't know his real name. After all, as a member of a mysterious force, it was not convenient for Nile to reveal his identity.
"I wanted to know what's happening in Zhenwu through Yang Qi, but I didn't expect that everyone died when Nile took action." The figure sighed softly.
Although Nero is only a cultivator at the peak of the Martial Emperor level, he is good at the soul and with the help of the Soul-Calming Bell, I dare not say that he is invincible in the Martial Emperor level, but ordinary Martial Emperors at the peak are no match for Nero.
"It seems that the Zhenwu Sect has been secretly protecting Yang Qi. Even if I take action myself, I'm afraid it will be difficult to succeed." The figure's eyes focused and he murmured, "The possibility of getting the inheritance of the Zhenwu Sect has been very low since the death of the Zhenwu Emperor. Now the chance is not great, so I'd better complete the task assigned by the higher-ups first."
Nero's death was nothing to the human shadow. He had many such practitioners under his command. Now that he knew it was difficult to capture Yang Qi, the human shadow did not plan to continue attacking Yang Qi. This would only waste time. He had more important things to do.
…
After listening to Yang Qi's narration, Emperor Chiyang and Emperor Xuanyang were also frightened. If Yang Qi's life-saving method had not been strong enough, the black-robed man's counterattack after his death would have killed Yang Qi.
"Fortunately, you are okay." Emperor Xuanyang looked at Yang Qi and said, although he had experienced such a huge crisis, fortunately Yang Qi survived in the end.
"I was really lucky this time. If I hadn't been in the Witch King Realm before..."
Yang Qi smiled bitterly and immediately told what happened in the Witch Emperor Realm. If he had not reached the Martial Emperor Realm and collected the Soul-Soothing Bell in time, the outcome of this battle would be unknown.
Emperor Chiyang raised his eyebrows and said in surprise, "I didn't expect that the Witch King Realm was actually a trap."
The secret realm of the Witch Emperor Realm had been explored by a Martial Emperor Realm expert before. After all, if possible, everyone would want to obtain the secret realm of a Martial Emperor. However, the Martial Emperor Realm expert failed to discover the secret of the Witch Emperor Realm after investigating it. This shows how deeply the Witch Emperor hid himself and even deceived the Martial Emperor expert.
“Who would have thought that an ordinary Martial Emperor could actually live for millions of years.” Yang Qi sighed.
If he had not fought with Wu Yang in person, he would not have believed that Wu Yang had lived for millions of years. This was beyond the lifespan limit of an ordinary Martial Emperor. At the beginning, Yang Qi only suspected that the other party had reached the Witch Emperor realm.
Thinking back to the method of possessing a body, Yang Qi couldn't help but sigh, "Although Wu Yang has lived for millions of years, it's a pity that he has embarked on a path that is doomed to fail."
"Wu cultivators study the essence of all things and practice. In the eyes of many practitioners, they are crazy. For the sake of their own path, they will try everything. Their methods are also bizarre and extremely strange. Many times, practitioners who are stronger than them will accidentally fall into their trap." Emperor Chiyang said with a wry smile.
The method of prolonging one's life by possessing another's body seems extremely tempting, but after knowing that it is destined to be a dead end, those with a strong heart of Taoism simply disdain to try it.
Cultivation is a process of successive sacrifices. It is not terrible to die on the road of cultivation. What is really terrible is waiting to die, which makes people despair. Some practitioners who are at the same level of Martial Emperor are only one-star Martial Emperors throughout their lives. The Lord of the Universe who has lived for endless years is only at the second level of Martial Emperor Peak, and there are many powerful people who have reached the third level of Martial Emperor Peak in the history of the endless universe. It can be seen that on the road of cultivation, although life span is important, it is not a decisive factor.
Wu Xiu is indeed crazy, and there is even a name for Wu crazy people in the cultivation world. The entire Wu Xiu is called crazy, which shows how crazy their cultivation is. But it is precisely because of the madness of Wu Xiu that Wu Xiu is undoubtedly powerful, but Wu Xiu's cultivation method is too special, which is destined to be a niche method of cultivation.
After Yang Qi recovered from his injuries and learned about how he had been attacked, the three of them did not linger any longer and headed directly for the Tianwu Continent. After returning to the Tianwu Continent, Yang Qi traded the Witch King Realm and the Cave Residence to the Tianwu Sect in exchange for some resources needed for his own practice, and then began to retreat.
This retreat lasted for nearly half a year. One day, Yang Qi was practicing the Source God Canon when he suddenly received a message from Emperor Haoyue, asking him to end his retreat immediately.
"Master is here?"
Checking the information in the communication talisman, Yang Qi was stunned. He had mentioned to Emperor Haoyue before that he would be practicing in seclusion in Tianwu Gate recently. If nothing major happened, Emperor Haoyue would not take the initiative to disturb his practice.
After Yang Qi finished his retreat, he immediately rushed to Emperor Xuanyang's cave. As soon as he arrived in front of the cave, he saw Emperor Haoyue and his two companions who were waiting outside the cave.
"Grandmaster, two seniors." Yang Qi said respectfully.
As he stayed in the Zhenwu star field, Yang Qi's sense of belonging to the Tianwu Sect and the Qingdi Palace lineage naturally became much stronger, and his respect at this time came from the bottom of his heart.
Emperor Haoyue looked at Yang Qi in front of him and said in a deep voice, "The reason I disturbed your retreat this time is because something happened in the sect. You need to go to the Zhenwu Sect immediately."
Something happened to the Zhenwu Sect
Yang Qi was stunned and looked at Emperor Haoyue in astonishment. Even if something happened to a cultivation force like the Zhenwu Sect, it would be impossible for them to find him, a six-star Martial Emperor, unless the matter itself was related to him.
"Grandmaster, what's going on?" Yang Qi asked hurriedly.
"Regarding Yuan En." Emperor Haoyue paused here before continuing, "Originally, only the top leaders of our lineage knew about your killing of Yuan En. However, before he died, Yuan En sent a message to his master, Emperor Jiaye, asking for help. Because Jiaye was in retreat, he was not able to receive it in time. When Emperor Jiaye finished his retreat, he found that Yuan En was dead. Now Emperor Jiaye's lineage is using this incident as an excuse to attack our lineage. Now the leader has intervened, so you need to go to the Zhenwu Sect to explain the matter."
“But don’t worry, you did nothing wrong in this matter. As long as my Qingdi Palace lineage is still here, we will not let anyone hurt you.” Emperor Haoyue said seriously.
Is this actually the case
Yang Qi raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect that Yuan En actually asked for help from his master, Emperor Jiaye, before he died. After all, Emperor Jiaye's lineage didn't react after Yuan En's death. He instinctively thought that Emperor Jiaye's lineage didn't know about Yuan En's death. Who would have thought that it was just because Jiaye was in retreat that he was delayed. Now that he came out of retreat and found that his disciple was dead, he naturally found him as the culprit.
