After all, he is at the peak level of Martial Emperor. Emperor Huangshi is not stupid. With the cultivation level of the mid-stage Nine-Star Martial Emperor, the fact that he can come to this area shows Yang Qi's extraordinaryness. Naturally, he will not look down on Yang Qi because of his cultivation level!
Although Emperor Huangshi did not directly look down on Yang Qi, which disappointed Emperor Linhe, he believed that Emperor Huangshi would never have dreamed that when Yang Qi burst out with all his strength, he could be comparable to a cultivator at the peak level of Martial Emperor.
After all, even the well-informed Emperor Linhe had never thought of such a thing before he personally fought with Yang Qi. A cultivator in the middle stage of the Nine-Star Martial Emperor could actually have such powerful strength and means. This also means that if a conflict breaks out with Emperor Huangshi, Yang Qi can still play the role of a surprise force!
And this is enough for Emperor Linhe!
Emperor Linhe looked at Emperor Huangshi and said indifferently, "You came here this time, aren't you just here to praise my vision?"
"Of course not!" Emperor Huangshi shook his head slightly, then looked at Yang Qi, smiled and said, "I wonder what this fellow Taoist's name is..."
"This emperor is in vain!" Yang Qi said calmly.
Emperor Xuxing
Upon hearing that, Emperor Huangshi couldn't help but raise his brows slightly. In his memory, there was obviously no such a monstrous villain named Emperor Xuxing. This was not surprising. Yang Qi's rise was too short and not many practitioners knew his name.
It was not surprising that the Emperor Huangshi had never heard of Yang Qi's name, but he quickly recovered and said with a smile, "So it's Emperor Xuxing, I've heard of your name for a long time!"
Have you heard of you for a long time
Yang Qi's mouth twitched. He was sure that the Emperor Huangshi in front of him had never heard of him. However, since the other party was so polite, Yang Qi did not intend to expose him. After all, Emperor Linhe and Emperor Huangshi had a grudge, but Yang Qi did not have a grudge with the other party. As long as the two teams did not have a conflict, there would be no grudge between Yang Qi and Emperor Huangshi.
Therefore, Yang Qi had no likes or dislikes for Emperor Huangshi, and naturally would not respond coldly to Emperor Huangshi's polite words. Now he was not qualified to look down on any cultivator at the peak level of Martial Emperor.
"Fellow Daoist Huangshi, you are too kind." Yang Qi said with a slight smile.
Emperor Huangshi smiled slightly, then looked at Yang Qi and said, "Fellow Daoist Xuxing, are you interested in joining my team?"
Um
Hearing what Emperor Huangshi said, Yang Qi was stunned. He did not expect that Emperor Huangshi came here to recruit him. After all, Emperor Huangshi had asked Emperor Linhe before and knew that Yang Qi and Emperor Linhe were partners. Wouldn't recruiting Yang Qi at this time mean poaching Emperor Linhe's girlfriend
"This Emperor Huangshi wants to disgust Emperor Linhe." Yang Qi raised his eyebrows, and almost instantly, he figured out the intention of Emperor Huangshi's doing so!
The two sides did not get along well and their strength was almost the same. If it was not a life-and-death feud, it would be unlikely for them to fight to the death. In this case, Emperor Huangshi could not directly attack Emperor Linhe, and could only recruit Yang Qi to disgust Emperor Linhe!
Sure enough, after hearing that Emperor Huangshi was planning to recruit Yang Qi, Emperor Linhe's face suddenly became extremely ugly. He looked at Emperor Huangshi and said, "Huangshi, what do you mean? Daoist Fellow Xuxing has already partnered with me, and you actually want to recruit him in front of me? Do you think I don't exist?"
"Why are you so angry, Fellow Daoist Linhe? Since we are cooperating, we can both make our own choices." Emperor Huangshi paused for a moment before continuing, "As the saying goes, a wise bird will roost in a tree. Did Fellow Daoist Linhe not even give Fellow Daoist Xuxing a chance to choose? Or did you not give Fellow Daoist Xuxing a chance to choose?"
"You..." Upon hearing what Emperor Huangshi said, Emperor Linhe was immediately furious. However, when he was about to speak, he suddenly came to his senses. Emperor Huangshi was not only testing the cooperative relationship between him and Yang Qi, but also trying to divide him and Yang Qi. His intentions were really sinister.
The key issue is that his cooperation with Yang Qi is truly equal, which means that Yang Qi has the freedom to choose to continue or terminate the cooperation!
If Yang Qi really chose to join forces with Emperor Huangshi under the temptation of Emperor Huangshi, it would be a disaster for Emperor Linhe! Because he knew Yang Qi's strength and means clearly. Once Yang Qi and Emperor Huangshi cooperated, it would be equivalent to Emperor Huangshi's team, which had the strength of two peak-level martial emperors. How could he, a peak-level martial emperor, defeat his opponent
The most important thing is that before, Emperor Linhe wanted to forcefully recruit Yang Qi. If Yang Qi was not dissatisfied with his actions, Emperor Linhe himself would not be able to say so. It was only because Emperor Linhe's strength was above Yang Qi's, Yang Qi did not want to provoke Emperor Linhe too much, and the cooperation between the two sides was fair, so Yang Qi was willing to cooperate with him.
But now, there are other options, and the one he is trying to recruit is a peak Martial Emperor cultivator who is at odds with him, Emperor Linhe. Yang Qi can completely choose to cooperate with the other party, and then he won't have to worry about his revenge. Isn't this a better choice
Therefore, Emperor Linhe, who had calmed down, became a little worried. He was afraid that Yang Qi would choose to cooperate with Emperor Huangshi. Then he would be in real trouble!
Emperor Linhe's guess was right. Yang Qi was indeed somewhat dissatisfied with Emperor Linhe's previous attempt to forcefully recruit him. However, the reason why he did not take action was not because Yang Qi was not strong enough, but because he did not want to expose his cards too early. In addition, the conflict between the two sides was far from a life-and-death feud.
What's more, Emperor Linhe's worries were completely unnecessary. Although Yang Qi was somewhat dissatisfied with Emperor Linhe's previous actions, he did not deviate from Emperor Linhe's ideas.
Yang Qi looked at Emperor Huangshi not far away and said calmly, "I appreciate Daoist Fellow Huangshi's kindness, but I have enjoyed working with Daoist Fellow Linhe, and I have no plans to cooperate with other practitioners for the time being."
For Yang Qi, there is no difference between Emperor Huangshi and Emperor Linhe. Now that he already has a partner, Yang Qi will not easily abandon his partner unless there is any special reason.
Emperor Huangshi looked at Yang Qi and said with regret, "That's a pity. If you are willing to cooperate with me, I can share the intelligence we have found in that special area with you."
The information obtained from that special area is the trump card of Emperor Huangshi. Since Emperor Linhe has no cultivators below the peak of Martial Emperor, he has no detailed information in this regard at all!
Yang Qi heard this but didn't care and said, "No need, I will go and investigate it myself when the time comes."
