Chapter 719: Chapter 738: The Ownership of Hongng Purple Qi
Reluctance, disappointnt, anger, a mix of emotions burgeoned in Emperor Jun’s heart, and the thought of snatching the Hongng Purple Qi arose even more within him. But as he felt the cold gazes of the various Quasi-Saints, this made him instantly co to his senses, forcing him to return helplessly to his original place.
“Emperor Jun, it seems that the Hongng Purple Qi is not destined for you either?” Kong Xuan sneered coldly, causing Emperor Jun to grit his teeth in fury and bitterly glance at Ye Xuan and the others.
At that mont, only Emperor Fengdu and Kunpeng Kong Xuan had yet to draw, and it was clear that one of these three would obtain the Hongng Purple Qi. However, none of them stepped forward to draw next.
So might ask if this way of drawing lots was too unfair, wouldn’t those who draw later have a better chance of winning?
In fact, this thod of drawing lots was quite fair.
There were a total of nine pebbles in the bag, and it was a matter of chance; those who chose to draw earlier naturally had a smaller chance, but do not forget, if soone earlier drew the purple pebble, those later would miss their opportunity completely.
In that instant, Kunpeng and Kong Xuan exchanged glances, with excitent gleaming in both of their eyes, for they held a two-thirds chance of attaining the Hongng Purple Qi.
Now, the one under the greatest pressure was Emperor Fengdu. Although there were only three pebbles left in the bag at this mont, if he drew the green pebble, he would lose his chance to obtain the Hongng Purple Qi.
Break the tie!
Suddenly, Emperor Fengdu roared in his heart, striding forward to Huang Mozhi. Then he reached his hand directly into the bag, briefly groped around, and took out a pebble.
“Ha ha!”
When Emperor Fengdu looked into his palm, he saw a purple pebble erge, which initially stunned him. His pale face turned red with excitent, and his mouth emitted ecstatic laughter.
“I have drawn it, I have, the Hongng Purple Qi is mine!” Emperor Fengdu lost all the dignity of a Ghost Emperor, turning into an excited child, dancing and gesticulating to vent his extre elation.
“Impossible, there must be foul play.”
Abruptly, the Heavenly Emperor roared furiously, his face an iron blue, and he pointed at Huang Mozhi, bellowing, “This man is a disciple of Fengdu, how is it that we did not draw it, yet he did? There must be a trick here.”
“I…I didn’t cheat…really…I didn’t…”
Huang Mozhi was so scared he almost cried, his legs gave way, and he fell to the ground. The bag in his hand also fell, revealing two green pebbles that tumbled out.
“Emperor Jun, what do you an? Just now, my disciple was already stripped of his cultivation and witnessed by so many Daoist friends. How could he have cheated?” Emperor Fengdu’s face changed drastically as he scolded Emperor Jun.
“There must be foul play here; I will not accept this and demand a redraw.”
Emperor Jun was already frenzied. He could not afford to lose the Hongng Purple Qi, his face shaless, his eyes towards Emperor Fengdu filled with indescribable murderous intent.
“Humph.”
A disdainful snort sounded, and Ye Xuan looked at Emperor Jun with a continuous sneer, “The mighty Emperor of the Demon Race, so shaless, truly a disgrace to the face of the Ancient Demon Court.”
“Ye Xuan, you…?”
Being rebuked by Ye Xuan like this, Emperor Jun bellowed in rage. He wanted to retort, but in the end, he held back because he knew he was in the wrong.
At this ti, Emperor Fengdu also did not expect Ye Xuan to stand up for him, his gaze towards Ye Xuan showing a hint of gratitude.
“Since Daoist Fengdu has drawn the purple pebble, then the Hongng Purple Qi should belong to him,” Zhen Yuanzi said softly.
“This…?”
As Zhen Yuanzi’s words fell, the other Quasi-Saints’ expressions subtly changed, hesitation and veiled killing intent flickered in their eyes. It was clearly a painful struggle to give up the Hongng Purple Qi, as if cutting flesh from their own hearts.
“What’s the matter, Daoist friends, are you going to go back on your word?” Lu Ya Daoist’s eyebrows furrowed, and his voice beca sowhat icy.
As the two Quasi-Saints spoke out, and with Ye Xuan indifferently watching from the sidelines, Emperor Jun and the others harbored hidden resentnt but could only nod their heads in silent agreent.
“Thank you, Daoist friends, for your concessions. Once I beco a Saint, I will never forget the great kindness you have shown .”
Emperor Fengdu’s complexion reddened as he strode towards the Hongng Purple Qi, and it wasn’t until he had secured it that Emperor Jun and the others sported dark expressions, yet in the end, they refrained from acting.
“I shall take my leave now. One day, I will personally visit and thank you Daoist friends for today’s favor.”
Emperor Fengdu’s smile was forced as he directly summoned an overcasting shadowy light, turning into an Escape Light with Huang Mozhi, swiftly departing. The remaining Quasi-Saints narrowed their eyes slightly and also dispersed in all directions, not even greeting each other upon parting.
“Let’s go too.”
Ye Xuan called out to Kunpeng and Kong Xuan, a golden cloud rose beneath their feet, and they headed back towards the Thirty-Three Layered Heaven.
“Heavenly Emperor, are you really willing to give up the Hongng Purple Qi?”
In the boundless Heavenly Vault, amid surging emptiness, Ye Xuan walked leisurely when Kunpeng suddenly blocked his path, his face showing urgent concern as he looked towards Ye Xuan.
“Yes, my wise brother, look at how hastily Emperor Jun and the others departed. They are clearly going to intercept Fengdu. We should hurry, lest the Hongng Purple Qi ends up in soone else’s hands,” Kong Xuan added, anxiously reminding Ye Xuan.
“Hehe!”
All of a sudden, Ye Xuan laughed, but his smile was strange, causing both companions to be taken aback, unsure why Ye Xuan was laughing.
“Everything is under my control; Emperor Jun and the others will not get their hands on the Hongng Purple Qi.”
Ye Xuan laughed heartily and continued walking forward, leaving Kunpeng and Kong Xuan stupefied, unsure why he seed so confident.
“Wise brother, what is really going on?” Kong Xuan hurried up to Ye Xuan, his heart full of questions.
“Big brother, no need to worry, you’ll find out soon enough,” Ye Xuan replied with a smile, his body radiating increasingly intense Escape Light as he quickly headed towards the east, which astounded the two companions who followed in amazent.
…
In the Eastern Continent, at Heavenly Peak.
An arbor stood, draped in mists, atop the peak, giving one the feeling of having entered an Immortal Realm.
Ye Xuan sat within the arbor, while Kong Xuan and Kunpeng stood restlessly on either side, eager to know why Ye Xuan had brought them here.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, a shadowy figure tore through the sky and appeared at the peak of Heavenly Peak, taking large strides towards Ye Xuan, his face bearing a sycophantic smile.
“Master!”
The figure rushed into the arbor and prostrated himself before Ye Xuan, his face alight with excitent.
“Haha, Fat Huang, you’ve really outdone yourself,” Ye Xuan laughed heartily and affectionately helped the man up, which left Kunpeng and Kong Xuan completely dumbstruck on the spot.
Gulping incredulously, they watched, barely believing their eyes, feeling as though they had stepped through into a dream.
What had they seen?
