The five Evil Spirit Emperors of the Forbidden Zone, along with the four Human Emperors, in total the presence of nine emperors, clashed and crackled in the air.
Here, even a powerhouse of the Emperor Realm would be suffocated by the terrifying pressure.
"Lady Celestial Wind, I must say, your Ten Thousand Islands Sect is part of the Celestial Burial Sea Race, yet this time you don’t confront the evil spirits and instead trouble our Body Alliance. Aren’t you afraid people will criticize you?"
The Celestial Cauldron Emperor of the Body Alliance shouted loudly, staring at the Celestial Wind Emperor. His tone seemed courteous, but in reality, his eyes were filled with intense fighting spirit, wanting nothing more than to take down the Celestial Wind Emperor!
The Emperor of Wutian from the Evil Spirit camp chuckled and said, "Celestial Wind Emperor, the Ten Thousand Islands Sect is the foremost force of the Celestial Burial Sea Race. The sect has two emperors. If you gain our Forbidden Zone’s support, it would not be difficult to unify the Celestial Burial Sea."
"Both of you, shut up!" The Celestial Wind Emperor of the Ten Thousand Islands Sect shouted coldly.
The Ten Thousand Islands Sect has always been at odds with the Martial Alliance, Body Alliance, and Spirit Alliance, especially with a tense relationship with the Body Alliance. This time, the Celestial Child Emperor of the Loose Cultivator camp asked the Ten Thousand Islands Sect for help in troubling the Body Alliance, so naturally, the Ten Thousand Islands Sect focused on the Body Alliance.
As for the Evil Spirits of the Forbidden Zone, the most the Ten Thousand Islands Sect dares not engage in direct conflict. But to say an alliance with the evil spirits would be a reckless move. It would be like asking a tiger for its skin, plus it would anger the entire Celestial Burial Sea Race!
At this moment, Xue Guang, the Vice Sect Leader of the Ten Thousand Islands Sect with Emperor Realm cultivation, appeared excitedly flying over.
"Reporting to the Celestial Wind Emperor, Daoist Xue Dingchuan has once again acquired a piece of Enlightenment Tea Leaf!"
Upon these words.
The Celestial Blade Emperor of the Martial Alliance, the Celestial Cauldron Emperor of the Body Alliance, the Celestial Spirit Emperor of the Spirit Alliance, and even the five Evil Spirit Emperors of the Forbidden Zone showed subtle changes in their expressions.
Whenever the Enlightenment Tea Tree appears, after ten tea leaves are picked, it pletely disappears.
Thus, the opportunity is limited.
Currently, three pieces of Enlightenment Tea Leaves have been picked, with the Ten Thousand Islands Sect possessing two.
The Forbidden Zone Evil Spirits have one.
The Martial Alliance, Body Alliance, and Spirit Alliance have yet to gain anything!
The Celestial Wind Emperor smiled smugly and said, "Xue Dingchuan is indeed the most gifted individual in the Ten Thousand Islands Sect for nearly ten thousand years. At present, he has procured two pieces of Enlightenment Tea for our sect. Upon returning to the sect, I will heavily reward Daoist Xue Dingchuan."
Xue Guang rejoiced and said, "Thank you so much, Celestial Wind Emperor."
Xue Dingchuan is a descendant of their Xue Family. How prominent Xue Dingchuan is in the Ten Thousand Islands Sect, even someone like him as Vice Sect Leader will share in the glory.
Being a Vice Sect Leader in the Ten Thousand Islands Sect may seem impressive, but it’s not all that it seems.
Before the two Great Emperors of the Ten Thousand Islands Sect, even the Sect Leader is insignificant.
Now Daoist Xue Dingchuan has won the favor of the Celestial Wind Emperor, and the benefits will be endless!
"Celestial Wind Emperor, there was a slight issue when Daoist acquired the second piece of Enlightenment Tea," Xue Guang whispered.
"Hmph, no need for you to say!" At this moment, another Evil Spirit Emperor Realm, acpanied by a Great Saint Evil Spirit, arrived.
The Evil Spirit Emperor Realm knelt before the five Evil Spirit Emperors and said, "Reporting to the five Emperors, Xue Dingchuan from the Ten Thousand Islands Sect attacked us and killed several of our Saint Realm!"
The aura of the five Evil Spirit Emperors suddenly surged, and horrifying pressure crushed toward the Celestial Wind Emperor and Xue Guang.
The Emperor Realm Evil Spirit reporting looked at the nearby Great Saint Evil Spirit and said, "You speak!"
The Great Saint Evil Spirit, trembling on the ground, spoke, "This is absolutely true. Xue Dingchuan disregarded the agreement, slaughtered our Evil Spirit Saint Realm, and swaggered away. He also said..."
"Said what?" the Hentian Emperor angrily shouted.
"Xue Dingchuan said the five Evil Spirit Emperors were idiots, five big pigs... he would later twist off the heads of the five emperors and use them as balls to play..."
"Boom!"
The reporting Great Saint Evil Spirit was crushed into ashes by a gigantic force.
The five Evil Spirit Emperors were furious beyond measure.
Regardless if Xue Dingchuan really said that, this idiot repeated it verbatim. It’s unforgivable!
The Hentian Emperor glared at the Celestial Wind Emperor and coldly snorted, "Ten Thousand Islands Sect, quite the tactic you have. Since you don’t honor the agreement, don’t blame us for tearing things apart!"
The Heaven-Breaking Emperor brandished a white bone spear, his terrifying killing intent boiling over, and said, "The Ten Thousand Islands Sect is courting death!"
The Celestial Wind Emperor, who was smug moments ago, now furrowed his brows.
While obtaining another piece of Enlightenment Tea Leaf was good.
But pared to the conflict with the evil spirits, it’s not a worthy trade.
Should the Evil Spirit camp of the Forbidden Zone target the Ten Thousand Islands Sect over this, the sect would suffer massive losses.
Such losses would not be limited to just this current fight over the Enlightenment Tea Leaves. In the future, when people from the Ten Thousand Islands Sect enter the Forbidden Zone, it would be extremely difficult for them!
The Celestial Blade Emperor, Celestial Cauldron Emperor, Celestial Spirit Emperor, all kept silent. The Ten Thousand Islands Sect played with fire, and now they’ve drawn the fire upon themselves. It’s their own fault.
The Celestial Wind Emperor had a serious expression and said, "Our Ten Thousand Islands Sect’s Daoist Xue Dingchuan would never do such a thing. There must be a hidden truth. How about I contact Xue Dingchuan directly now and let him explain personally!"
"Hmph, then I’ll give you a chance to explain. If we don’t get a satisfactory response, the Ten Thousand Islands Sect will pay the price in countless blood and lives!" the Heaven-Destroying Emperor shouted angrily.
Celestial Wind Emperor no longer spoke, and with a wave of his hand, he formed a hand seal.
The next moment.
An image projected into the high sky of the area.
In the image, Xue Dingchuan, the Daoist of the Ten Thousand Islands Sect, was engaged in a fierce battle with a group of evil spirits.
Celestial Wind Emperor’s expression turned somber, and he shouted, "Xue Dingchuan, stop!"
In the image, Xue Dingchuan retreated violently, withdrawing from the battlefield.
The evil spirit Emperor Wutian coldly ordered, "Everyone, stop."
The evil spirits on the battlefield all halted their actions.
"Reporting to Celestial Wind Emperor, the Evil Spirit Camp has falsely accused me of seizing a leaf of Enlightenment Tea and killing their Saint Realm..." Xue Dingchuan shouted, feeling a mix of anger, helplessness, and some grievance in his heart.
Originally, he was pursuing Lu Li of the Physical Alliance and was about to succeed.
Suddenly, a bunch of evil spirits appeared, viciously attacking him and slandering him.
"How did you e into possession of a second leaf of Enlightenment Tea?" Celestial Wind Emperor inquired.
Xue Dingchuan replied, "It’s baseless. I only initially overpowered the enemies to seize one leaf of Enlightenment Tea, and before the evil spirits attacked me, I hadn’t killed a single evil spirit since entering the forbidden zone this time.
Celestial Wind Emperor, I, Xue Dingchuan, swear on my words that they are absolutely true. If there is any falsehood, may the great Tao devour me, consigning me to eternal damnation!"
"You are the Daoist of our Ten Thousand Islands Sect, I naturally believe what you say!" Celestial Wind Emperor stated, then turned his gaze towards the five emperors of the evil spirits, saying, "The matter is clear, someone is stirring trouble, intentionally provoking a war between our Ten Thousand Islands Sect and the forbidden zone!"
The five emperors of the Evil Spirit Camp now also held some suspicion.
The Ten Thousand Islands Sect indeed had no reason to act this way, and moreover, Xue Dingchuan had made a heavy oath, making it impossible for him to fabricate lies!
With this.
The direction of suspicion faintly pointed towards the Martial Alliance, Physical Alliance, and Spirit Alliance, the three major forces.
As the Ten Thousand Islands Sect fought with the forbidden zone evil spirits, these three would benefit.
At this moment.
Another unexpected change occurred.
A Great Saint Evil Spirit flew over hurriedly.
"Hentian Emperor, this is not good, the Haoyang Celestial Fire has been taken, and it was done by someone named Hu Fei!"
Hentian Emperor immediately became furious and shouted angrily, "Investigate! No matter which side Hu Fei belongs to, once identified, I shall personally show no mercy and grind him to dust!"
"No need to investigate." Celestial Cauldron Emperor laughed and said, "Hu Fei used to be with our Physical Alliance, but he’s merely a traitor who defected to the Ten Thousand Islands Sect, and it was Xue Guang who personally recruited him."
Celestial Wind Emperor, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, furrowed his brows once more.
This trip to the forbidden zone... seems like an invisible net is encircling our Ten Thousand Islands Sect... The mastermind’s means and strength must be extraordinary; only a Great Emperor could be so bold!
...
Meanwhile.
Ye Chen, carrying a severely injured middle-aged man, found a safe area before finally stopping.
"Lu Guardian, I apologize, because of me, you got caught up in this," Ye Chen said with deep regret.
Lu Li felt everything seemed so unreal.
"Ye Chen, you brat, it’s good you’re fine; we all thought you were lost in the black tide..." Lu Li said excitedly, but before he could finish, he coughed violently, blood continuously spilling from his mouth.
"Right, was it also you who attracted a bunch of evil spirits to attack Xue Dingchuan just now? What is going on? The evil spirits of the forbidden zone have an agreement with the Ten Thousand Islands Sect; why would they attack Xue Dingchuan..."
Although Lu Li wasn’t the brightest, he wasn’t foolish either.
He was chased down by Xue Dingchuan with no way out when a group of evil spirits appeared and attacked Xue Dingchuan, then Ye Chen came to take him away; he was sure this had something to do with Ye Chen.
"Xue Dingchuan got unlucky and crossed me, he deserved it," Ye Chen casually remarked.
Lu Li said, "Ye Chen, the battle is too chaotic right now, you should withdraw from the forbidden zone, don’t get involved anymore."
Ye Chen shook his head.
Withdraw?
What a joke!
Xue Dingchuan was ordered by the Celestial Child Emperor to capture his soul; when he couldn’t find him, he ruthlessly attacked those associated with him. With this account unsettled, how could he withdraw!
"Even if I can’t kill Xue Dingchuan this time, I must make him suffer greatly!" Ye Chen declared.
