The other four practitioners were filled with grief when they saw this, but the fact that Emperor Hengyue chose to die with dignity also gave them a hint. The remaining four practitioners eventually chose the same way to die as Emperor Hengyue. After all, as a practitioner at the peak of the Martial Emperor level, it was not difficult to understand why they chose to die with dignity when they knew they would die.
All five companions died, leaving only the last cultivator at the peak of the Martial Emperor level. He looked at Yang Qi and the other two cautiously and asked, "Can I leave now?"
Emperor Hongling had promised to save his life, and for this he betrayed his companions. Now all his companions are dead, leaving only him.
"roll!"
Emperor Hong Ling said indifferently.
In the eyes of Emperor Hongling, Emperor Hengyue and his five companions deserved death for slandering Yang Qi, but this cultivator also deserved death for betraying his companion. It was just that he still remembered his promise to save the other person's life, so he did not kill him.
Whoosh~
Upon hearing this, the cultivator felt as if he had been pardoned. He did not dare to delay for even a moment. He flashed and turned into a stream of light, heading towards the depths of the Hantian Sect ruins. In a flash, he disappeared from the sight of Yang Qi and the others.
As the last cultivator from Emperor Hengyue's side left, Emperor Wumu and the others couldn't help but look at Yang Qi. Emperor Wumu and the others were able to let go of it. After realizing that they had misunderstood Yang Qi, they took the initiative to apologize to Yang Qi. The same was true for those peak Martial Emperor cultivators who came to surround and kill Yang Qi.
After making apologies, Emperor Wumu and others left without staying for long. In a blink of an eye, only Emperor Hongling and Yang Qi were left.
Yang Qi looked at Emperor Hong Ling standing beside him, and said with emotion, "This time, I have to trouble Daoist Hong Ling to help me prove my identity. Otherwise, it would be troublesome for me to capture Emperor Heng Yue and his six men."
Although with Yang Qi's strength and means, it is not difficult to forcibly kill Emperor Hengyue and his six men, but Emperor Wumu and others are desperate to save Emperor Hengyue and his six men. Yang Qi is not sure that he can kill Emperor Hengyue and his six men without accidentally hurting Emperor Wumu and his men.
"Daoyou Xuxing is too polite. If you were unwilling to reveal your identity, Emperor Wumu would never easily believe the slander of Emperor Hengyue and others." Emperor Hongling shook his head slightly.
Upon hearing this, Yang Qi shook his head slightly and said, "Even if I tell them my identity, they may not believe it. After all, this is my first time outside the Endless Universe, and other practitioners hardly know my origins."
It's not that Yang Qi hadn't thought about revealing his identity, but even if he did, he had to be believed. This was Yang Qi's first time in the Chaos World, and there were too few practitioners who knew him, so he might not be believed. Moreover, even if he revealed his identity, Emperor Hengyue and others would have their own excuses. What Yang Qi wanted was to keep Emperor Hengyue and the other six, not just to wash away his own stigma.
Upon hearing this, Emperor Hong Ling could not help but nod slightly. This was why Emperor Hong Ling had revealed Yang Qi's identity before, only saying that the Lord of an alien universe was standing behind Yang Qi, but did not mention which Lord of an alien universe. This was because he wanted to help Yang Qi hide his identity.
Emperor Hong Ling looked at Yang Qi in front of him and asked curiously, "Daoyou Xuxing, this is your first time to come to the outer world of the Endless Universe. Why don't you travel with other practitioners?"
Although Yang Qi has the strength and means to venture into the Chaos World alone, the danger is not great, but generally when he comes to the Chaos World for the first time, he will choose to go with the older generation of practitioners. After all, many things in the Chaos World need to be experienced by practitioners in person to have a deeper understanding. When Emperor Hong Ling first came to the Chaos World, he was also led by the older generation of practitioners.
Now, Yang Qi came alone, but was slandered as a traitor to the human race. If he had been accompanied by other practitioners, this despicable slander would never have succeeded.
Yang Qi did not hide anything and explained directly, "During this period of time, most of the practitioners in my master's lineage are not in the Endless Universe, so I had to come here alone. I didn't expect to encounter something like this."
During this period, not only the Endless Universe had opportunities like the Kingdom of God, but also many precious opportunities appeared in the world outside the Endless Universe. Therefore, during this period, many practitioners were either in seclusion to absorb and digest their own gains, or wandering around looking for opportunities. There were indeed not many practitioners who chose to practice in seclusion.
What's more, Yang Qi's strength and means are not comparable to those of ordinary practitioners. If you want to accompany Yang Qi on his adventures, you must be a practitioner at least at the second level of the peak of the Martial Emperor. Otherwise, it would not be accompanying Yang Qi on his adventures, but instead becoming a burden to Yang Qi.
However, there are only a few practitioners at the second level of the peak of the Martial Emperor in all the major cultivation forces, and even under the command of the Lord of the Alien Universe. It is not surprising that there are no suitable practitioners to accompany Yang Qi in his adventures.
"So what are your plans next?" Emperor Hong Ling looked at Yang Qi and asked.
Upon hearing this, Yang Qi did not hide his plan and said directly, "I plan to continue looking for opportunities in the Hantian Sect ruins, and then go to other areas to see if I can gain anything."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Hong Ling was not too surprised at Yang Qi's next plan. After all, with Yang Qi's strength and means, the ruins of the Hantian Sect were probably just a place for the other party to understand and experience the chaotic world, and not a place to really look for opportunities.
"Fellow Daoist Hong Ling, how did you end up in the Hantian Sect ruins?" Looking at Emperor Hong Ling in front of him, Yang Qi expressed his curiosity.
Emperor Hong Ling is not Yang Qi. He had been to Hantian Sect Ruins long before he entered the peak of Martial Emperor. In the long years, Emperor Hong Ling had probably come to Hantian Sect Ruins more than once. Today, Emperor Hong Ling is considered a top existence among the second-level practitioners at the peak of Martial Emperor. In addition, his life span is coming to an end. It stands to reason that a practitioner like Emperor Hong Ling would not appear in Hantian Sect Ruins, but he did not expect to meet him here.
Hearing Yang Qi's question, Emperor Hong Ling did not intend to hide anything. He immediately chuckled and said, "This time, I came to Hantian Sect, actually for a younger generation."
Descendants
Hearing what Emperor Hong Ling said, Yang Qi was slightly startled, but then he understood what the other party meant. This junior, if nothing unexpected happened, should be the descendant of Emperor Hong Ling, and should have just entered the peak of the Martial Emperor. Like Yang Qi, this was the first time for him to come to the outside of the Endless Universe. Emperor Hong Ling was protecting him.
After all, Emperor Hong Ling is about to die. For a practitioner at this level, seeking opportunities that can help himself is no longer necessary. Instead, he values the inheritance of his own lineage more.
