Um
As soon as these words were spoken, Yang Qi's face changed. It was completely beyond his expectation that the cultivator in front of him could actually tell him that he was a cultivator from the Sword Palace.
There is only one explanation for this situation, that is, the cultivator in front of him is also a cultivator from the Sword Palace, because only a cultivator from the Sword Palace can judge that he is from the Sword Palace based on the Sword Palace token!
Yang Qi looked at the mysterious strong man in front of him and asked uncertainly, "Senior, are you also a practitioner from the Sword Palace?"
If the cultivator in front of him was a cultivator from the Sword Palace, why would he attack him and seal off the space and time near the cultivator? It was obvious that he wanted to take action. He couldn't be here to attack him, right
"good!"
The visitor nodded slightly, his eyes fell on Yang Qi, and then his hand moved, and a Blood Cloud Evil Pearl appeared.
“Blood Cloud Evil Pearl!”
Yang Qi's face changed slightly, and he immediately understood why the other party came to him. It was indeed because of the Blood Cloud Evil Pearl.
"I saw you selling this item in Qingmu City before, so I followed you all the way here. I thought you were related to the Holy Temple, and I wanted to capture you. But after I took action, I found out that you were actually a practitioner of the Sword Palace." The man explained.
I see!
After hearing this, Yang Qi completely understood. If the other party had not discovered the Sword Palace token on him, he would have been captured by now.
Yang Qi looked at the mysterious strong man in front of him with some curiosity, and then said, "Senior, aren't you afraid that I will surrender to the Holy Temple?"
“With your talent and potential, there is no need for you to join the Temple. As for the Temple forcibly controlling you, it is not impossible, but you do not have the aura of a Temple practitioner, so you are not controlled by the strong men of the Temple.” The visitor chuckled.
Yang Qi nodded. The newcomer was very powerful. When he arrived, he had already judged Yang Qi's identity. Otherwise, he would not have talked to him and would have taken him down directly.
"Where did you get the Blood Cloud Evil Pearl?" the man looked at Yang Qi and asked.
"This Blood Cloud Evil Pearl..."
Yang Qi immediately told the story of how he killed Emperor Tianxie and obtained the Blood Cloud Evil Pearl without any concealment.
The visitor's eyes fell on Yang Qi, and he said with a little sigh, "I didn't expect you to have such strength. This is beyond my expectations."
Yang Qi was only at the middle stage of the Nine-Star Martial Emperor, but he had strength close to that of a Martial Emperor. Even in the Sword Palace, only the most top-notch monstrous practitioners could achieve this. However, he had never seen Yang Qi in the Sword Palace.
"Who is your master?" the visitor asked.
Upon hearing this, Yang Qi did not hide anything and said directly, "My master is the Great Emperor Wu Shi."
"Are you Yang Qi?" the visitor asked in surprise.
"Um?"
Yang Qi was stunned and looked at the practitioner in front of him with surprise. The practitioner in front of him actually knew him
"You were recommended by Emperor Yijian to join the Sword Palace, right? This emperor has met Emperor Yijian's clone before. He thinks highly of you and mentioned you. Plus Emperor Wu Shi's fame, this emperor remembers you." The man explained with a smile.
I see!
Hearing this, Yang Qi also understood that the cultivator in front of him knew Emperor Yijian, and it was not surprising that he knew his name through Emperor Yijian. After all, he joined the Sword Palace under the recommendation of Emperor Yijian.
"I wonder who you are..." Yang Qi said quickly.
Hearing this, the visitor chuckled and said, "Yi Chen!"
Upon hearing this, Yang Qi immediately said respectfully, "Junior Yang Qi, greetings to Emperor Yi Chen."
"No need to be polite." Emperor Yi Chen smiled slightly, and then he said, "According to what you said, Emperor Tianxie should be a practitioner of the Holy Temple, who was forcibly promoted to the level of Martial Emperor through secret methods."
“Did you use this thing to ascend to the Martial Emperor realm?” Yang Qi’s hand moved, and a dark-black bead appeared. It was the bead that he suspected was absorbed by Emperor Tianxie to reach the Martial Emperor realm.
"Yes, that's exactly it!"
Emperor Yi Chen nodded and continued, "This item contains the power of origin, which can help practitioners reach the Martial Emperor realm. However, the power of origin is extremely evil. If it is not used correctly, using this item to practice will have extremely strong side effects. Even if you successfully break through to the Martial Emperor realm, you will be affected and can no longer improve your strength through practice. Even the power of the soul will solidify in the flesh, and you will not be able to use the clone of the Tao."
No wonder Emperor Tianxie never used his clone until his death!
Hearing this, Yang Qi couldn't help but recall the situation when he fought with Emperor Tianxie. Even when Emperor Tianxie was killed in the end, he didn't use the clone of Tao. You have to know that Emperor Tianxie is at the level of Martial Emperor after all. If he can use the clone of Tao, the strength of the clone of Tao will be at least half a step to the level of Martial Emperor. In such a battle, it is still of great help to Emperor Tianxie.
"The Temple has used this treasure to cultivate many Martial Emperors and help them collect the resources they need. These practitioners are their chess pieces in the open." Emperor Yi Chen said in a deep voice.
Yang Qi was not too surprised by this. How could a Martial Emperor with exhausted talent and potential, or even the weakest level of Martial Emperor, be accepted and even cultivated by a cultivation power like the Holy Temple? For the strong men of the Holy Temple, a Martial Emperor like Emperor Tianxie was probably not as good as the peak Martial Emperor black-robed cultivator he had killed.
This is also the reason why when Emperor Tianxie saw the Soul-Suppressing Bell in Yang Qi's hand, he actually wanted to snatch it. If Emperor Tianxie was really a member of the Temple, with his strength at the level of Martial Emperor, it would definitely not be difficult for him to obtain the Soul-Suppressing Bell.
“But now that the chess piece in the open is gone, the practitioners behind him will probably be more cautious. It will not be easy for senior to track them down.” Yang Qi sighed.
The death of Emperor Tianxie cut off all clues about him. If Emperor Yichen had killed Emperor Tianxie, he might have been able to use the law of cause and effect to track him down. However, Emperor Tianxie had been dead for so long that the cause and effect relationship was fading away. In addition, the temple practitioners behind him might have directly cut off the cause and effect relationship. It was hard for Emperor Yichen to track down the practitioners behind Emperor Tianxie.
"You are right." Emperor Yi Chen nodded, then looked at Yang Qi and said, "But it is not completely impossible. It's just that this method requires your help."
"I?"
Yang Qi was startled, and then, as if he had thought of something, his pupils shrank, and he said with a wry smile, "Senior, are you planning to let me..."
"That's right, you should come forward and use the Blood Cloud Evil Pearl to lure the other party out." Emperor Yi Chen nodded slightly and continued, "The Blood Cloud Evil Pearl is one of the resources collected by the practitioners of the Holy Temple. With so many Blood Cloud Evil Pearls appearing together, maybe we can lure the other party out." (To be continued)
