Swish~Swish~
After some discussion, several eyes turned to where Yang Qi was. Among the practitioners present, in addition to the respective factions formed by the practitioners' teams, there was only one lone ranger, and that was Yang Qi!
The practitioners who arrived a step late all had their own teams. The Destruction Demon Clan had three practitioners at the second level of the peak of the Martial Emperor. Although they were not afraid of a fight, the possibility of forcing the Destruction Demon Clan to sacrifice a practitioner to explore the way was extremely low.
They only sent two companions to explore the way, but their losses were not small. In order to reduce their own losses, they turned their target to Yang Qi. Compared with the three second-level peak Martial Emperor practitioners who destroyed the demons, Yang Qi alone was obviously easier to deal with.
“It is indeed so!”
Feeling everyone's gaze, Yang Qi was not surprised. In fact, after guessing the plans of Emperor Yuanshi and others, Yang Qi had already guessed that he would most likely be forced to go and explore the way.
However, Yang Qi had no clues on how to find the real entrance, which meant that even if Yang Qi explored the way, he would still be at risk of death. If he didn't want to explore the way, he had to show his strength and methods so that those practitioners wouldn't dare to force him. This was why Yang Qi was thinking about whether to reveal his strength and methods.
After noticing this, the three practitioners of the Destruction Demon Clan smiled. They were worried before that if too many practitioners were needed to explore the way, even if they were practitioners of the Destruction Demon Clan, they would not be able to withstand the public anger. Now only two practitioners were needed to explore the way, and those practitioners who were late did not dare to force them at all, and only dared to attack Yang Qi who was acting alone.
"That fellow Taoist is a friend of our Yuan clan. Anyone who attacks him will become an enemy of our Yuan clan." However, before the practitioners who arrived a step late could take further action, a sudden voice sounded around the ruins.
The person who spoke was none other than Emperor Yuanshi. When these words came out, the expressions of everyone present changed slightly.
Emperor Yuanshi did not speak in the name of himself or his team, but in the name of the Yuan Clan. The difference is huge. After all, when cultivators are fighting for opportunities in the chaotic world, they can only represent themselves, and cannot represent the cultivation forces or clans behind them, unless it is a fight between clans.
But now, Emperor Yuanshi has saved Yang Qi in the name of the Yuan Clan, so naturally, no one would think that Emperor Yuanshi was lying. After all, when it comes to matters concerning the clan, even Emperor Yuanshi would not dare to speak easily. Otherwise, the interests of the clan would be damaged, and even Emperor Yuanshi would probably be punished by the Yuanchu Saint Lord. After all, for the Yuanchu Saint Lord, the interests of the clan are the most important.
Therefore, what Emperor Yuanshi said, that taking action against Yang Qi would mean making an enemy of the Yuan clan, was definitely not just talk.
If Emperor Yuanshi only saved Yang Qi in the name of himself and others, perhaps they could have further forced him, and even the three practitioners who destroyed the demon clan would help those practitioners who were late. After all, this was a good way to weaken competitors and prevent themselves and others from taking risks.
But Emperor Yuanshi saved Yang Qi in the name of the Yuan Clan. Not to mention the practitioners like them, even if the practitioners of the Destruction Demon Clan wanted to attack Yang Qi in public, they would have to consider the revenge of the Yuan Clan afterwards.
The Source Clan had a very good reputation in the chaotic world and seldom took the initiative to cause trouble, but no one dared to underestimate the existence of one of the oldest and most powerful clans. So after hearing this, everyone's faces became extremely ugly, but they also fell silent.
Yang Qi's expression froze, and he thought to himself, "Emperor Yuanshi actually asked to protect me. Is it because he saw that the lineage of the Taixu Saint Lord was deliberately keeping a distance from me, and wanted to help me hide my identity?"
Emperor Yuanshi and others knew Yang Qi's identity and background, but outside the ruins in front of them, Yang Qi was obviously acting alone and did not travel with Emperor Jiuyi and others. This was definitely not because Yang Qi and Emperor Jiuyi and others were not on good terms. So there was only one possibility left, that Yang Qi deliberately separated from Emperor Jiuyi and others.
Although Emperor Yuanshi and others did not know the reason, since the practitioners of Yang Qi and Taixu Saint Lord's lineage made this choice, Emperor Yuanshi and others, as Yang Qi's friends, naturally would not expose this.
What’s more, there are people like Emperor Taiyan!
It was no secret in the Endless Universe that the Holy Lord of Taichu and the Holy Lord of Yuanchu did not get along well. Even at the peak of the Martial Emperor level, they were very clear about the grudge between the Holy Lord of Taichu and the Holy Lord of Yuanchu. But what most practitioners did not know was that the Holy Lord of Yuanchu actually wanted to repair the relationship with the Holy Lord of Taichu, but the Holy Lord of Taichu had never really accepted the good intentions of the Holy Lord of Yuanchu.
As a cultivator at the second level of the peak of the Martial Emperor, Emperor Yuanshi has a high status and position in the Yuan Clan, enough to know the secrets of this level. At the same time, he clearly knows the relationship between Emperor Wushi and the Holy Lord Taichu. It is even more impossible for Emperor Yuanshi and others to expose Yang Qi's identity. Doing so will only make it more difficult for the Holy Lord Yuanchu to repair his relationship with the Holy Lord Taichu.
After all, the lineage of Saint Taixu and the Yuan clan do not have any close relationship. Apart from the fact that Yang Qi himself has a token of friendship from the Yuan clan, Yang Qi's identity as a disciple of Emperor Wu Shi is probably also an important reason why Emperor Yuan Shi was willing to stand up and protect him in the name of the Yuan clan.
"This person is actually related to the Yuan clan?" Emperor Jiuyi's face changed slightly, and his eyes turned to Emperor Taiyan standing beside him.
In fact, after discovering that those practitioners were looking at Yang Qi, Emperor Jiuyi knew clearly what those practitioners were planning. He was discussing with Emperor Taiyan whether to take this opportunity to absorb Yang Qi into the team. Unexpectedly, before they could come up with a result, Emperor Yuanshi had already spoken up to save Yang Qi.
Feeling the gaze of Emperor Jiuyi, Emperor Taiyan smiled bitterly in his heart. He was a little confused about this. Although Yuanchu Saint Lord wanted to repair the relationship with Taichu Saint Lord, even if Emperor Yuanshi knew Yang Qi's identity and origin, he would not dare to protect Yang Qi in the name of the Yuan clan, which made him quite puzzled.
Although they were very puzzled, this was beneficial to them, and even Yang Qi, so Emperor Taiyan directly sent a message to everyone, saying, "The identity and origin of that person is quite special. The current situation is beneficial to us, so there is no need to dwell on these details."
After hearing this, Emperor Jiuyi and others could not help but nod secretly. In fact, when they were wandering in the chaotic world, they could also feel the care that the Yuan Clan gave to the practitioners of the lineage of the Grand Void Saint. In this case, the possibility that the Yuan Clan practitioners would take the initiative to plot against them was almost non-existent. Since the Yuan Clan had no intention of harming them, why bother to worry about why Emperor Yuanshi was willing to come forward to protect Yang Qi
