CHAPTER 188: CHAPTER 188: THE CORNERING BY TWO MAJOR POWERS

"I told you there wasn’t any."

Qin Zi let out a sigh of relief, then shrugged with a smile.

As long as the other party couldn’t control that furnace, the pressure on him wouldn’t be too great. After all, the opponent was merely possessing and reborn.

This is Wu Cheng’s body.

No matter how much stronger this person might be than Wu Cheng, he wouldn’t be overwhelmingly powerful; he understood possession better than anyone else.

"How could this happen, how could..."

Wu Cheng was still somewhat bewildered, muttering to himself as if some belief had been shattered, collapsed.

She clearly sensed the ancestral Emperor’s Artifact.

But... it betrayed!

"You better leave quickly. You were sealed by Wu Cheng’s father back then. If the Ten Thousand Laws Celestial Pool incident reaches his ears, he’ll surely know that you’ve possessed his son and won’t let you go."

Qin Zi threatened calmly.

Wu Cheng’s body trembled, and she finally came to her senses.

She took a deep breath and said to Qin Zi, "Keep my ancestral treasure safe; I’ll take it back sooner or later!"

After speaking, she waved her right hand, driving a chariot to fly in one direction, while she flew in another.

After flying a distance.

She suddenly turned back and gave Qin Zi a captivating smile, "By the way... I forgot to tell you, my name is Gong Lingyue."

After speaking, she rapidly flew away.

Purple energy surged around her, radiant and glowing, and an apparent furnace seemed to appear outside her body, reforging the body.

As she flew away, her silhouette became more slender and graceful, gradually transforming into a woman.

"I didn’t ask for your name."

After watching her leave, Qin Zi reluctantly withdrew his gaze and disdainfully pursed his lips.

"Let’s go."

Shui Qingrou pinched him on the waist and rolled her eyes at him, then the two drove away.

...

"Ding! Your son has embarrassed Young Master Xue, automatically recharged with 5 points of Father Value."

"Ding! Your son has embarrassed Wu Cheng, automatically recharged with 7 points of Father Value."

"Ding! Your current balance is 27.6 Father Value."

Inside the Beiji Divine Hall, Qin Chuan listened as the three notifications sounded, and the corners of his mouth immediately curled upwards.

Opposite him, the elderly female emperor quickly noticed the change in his expression and asked, "Senior, did you think of something joyful?"

"No."

Qin Chuan shook his head with a smile, casually replied, "It’s just those two little guys causing trouble, quite big trouble."

"What?!"

The elderly woman’s complexion changed slightly, and then she looked at Qin Chuan with astonishment—how could he know what happened so far away?

How could he do that?

As expected of a Martial Emperor reincarnate, his methods are indeed unfathomable!

She calmed her emotions and asked with a smile, "What trouble did they get into?"

"They disrupted the Ten Thousand Laws Celestial Pool’s event; if there’s no accident, Young Master Xue and Wu Cheng won’t survive."

Qin Chuan said calmly.

"This!!"

The elderly woman was shocked and changed her color dramatically.

Young Master Xue is the chief genius of Beixue Sword Sect, and Wu Cheng is Wu Qiong’s son. If both of them die, it would undoubtedly cause turmoil!

The Beiji Divine Hall would struggle to endure the wrath of both families.

Seeing Qin Chuan’s figure, she quickly calmed down—there’s a powerhouse like him here, what is there to fear?

These two forces combined are strong, but in the presence of a man of this caliber, they can’t make waves.

"Hmm, calming down so quickly, not bad."

Qin Chuan showed a hint of admiration on his face and spoke in a deliberately profound tone.

The elderly woman slightly bowed her head and humbly said, "Senior, you overpraise."

Being called senior now felt perfectly natural to her, showing how impressively Qin Chuan had built his reputation.

Identity invocation is contained in countless details; when you believe you are a strong figure, all your words and actions align with that, and others will believe you are a strong figure.

A few hours later.

Qin Zi and Shui Qingrou hurriedly returned, and Qin Zi nervously reported today’s situation to his father.

Qin Chuan listened calmly.

The matter of Gong Lingyue, descendant of the Celestial Eternal Race, surprised him a bit, but that’s all.

A mere descendant of a Martial Emperor, what’s worth mentioning?

Not a true Martial Emperor after all.

"Alright, it’s fine now. With your father here, these are just small matters." Qin Chuan comforted his son.

Upon hearing this, Qin Zi felt much more at ease.

But over the next two days, he hid in the Beiji Divine Hall and dared not go out, fearing being captured by the emperors of the two great powers.

Qin Xiaozhu chickened out.

In front of elder powers, he cowered, but in front of younger people, he struck hard.

A bully who fears the strong, that’s him, like a pig.

"Ding! A four-tribulation emperor who has survived seven Emperor Tribulations has murderous intent toward your son. Following the principle of fatherly love being as solid as a mountain, and the father must win, your cultivation will be raised to the second tribulation, and you will be invincible in the same domain."

On this day, the system’s notification sounded again.

Qin Chuan knew that it was Wu Qiong who had developed killing intent toward Qin Zi. Wu Cheng’s death was pinned on Qin Zi.

In fact, it was indeed so.

If not for Qin Zi crushing Wu Cheng’s dao heart, Wu Cheng wouldn’t have been possessed by Gong Lingyue, leading to his consciousness falling.

"Boom!"

Not long after, a crimson light roared across the sky, domineering and full of fierce energy!

"Bang bang bang bang bang!"

Where the light passed, the snow-capped mountains below continuously exploded.

"Qin Zi, come out and face death!"

A loud shout echoed, shattering the massive ice shards and peaks around, rocks falling, avalanches raging like tides.

"Puff puff puff!"

"Ah!!"

Many climbing the Heaven-Ascending Ladder couldn’t withstand the power of this shout and directly exploded on the spot, turning into a mist of blood.

Even many disciples of the Beiji Divine Hall, standing on the peaks overlooking below, each spewed blood, severely injured.

The power of one shout, terrifying.

"It’s the Martial Emperor!!"

"Oh god, it’s him!"

"Hiss! Such intense murderous aura!"

Many recognized the terrifying existence exuding red light in the sky, none other than the peerless emperor of the Wu Family—Wu Qiong!

Originally, the title Martial Emperor was ambiguous; even emperors of the Wu Family didn’t dare call themselves Martial Emperor, but Wu Qiong was different, he declared himself Martial Emperor, and no one in the Northern Domain objected, even naturally called him Martial Emperor.

In the Northern Domain, he reigns supreme in Martial Dao!

"Wow!"

Inside the Beiji Divine Hall, an old woman slowly floated up, releasing ice-blue light all around, like a rising blue moon.

"Martial Emperor, what brings you to Beiji Divine Hall?"

The old woman said with a smile.

"Hand over Qin Zi. He killed my son Wu Cheng. If I don’t kill him today, I swear I won’t rest!"

Wu Qiong’s towering figure, with fiery red hair, was enveloped in red flames, like a demon god.

"Martial Emperor, calm down. As far as I know, Qin Zi merely defeated Wu Cheng and did not kill him; many people witnessed this."

The old woman said with a smile.

"Seeing doesn’t make it real. My son Wu Cheng’s fall is indeed caused by him, and that’s enough!"

Wu Qiong said coldly.

"Seeing isn’t believing, then what is? Or does Martial Emperor have other evidence?"

The old woman’s voice turned cold too.

"Humph! Does an emperor need evidence to act? I say it’s him, and that’s that. No need to explain to anyone; you simply need to hand him over."

Wu Qiong stepped forward, red light surged around, a vast pressure swept toward the old woman.

"Since you won’t explain and have no evidence, why should I hand him over?!"

Unmoved, the old woman said coldly.

Wu Qiong squinted his eyes, a cold curve on the corners of his mouth: "Simply because if you don’t hand him over today... you will die!"

Crash!

Suddenly, a massive Sea of Blood appeared in the sky, seemingly an illusion yet incredibly real, like countless blood gathered.

"Law of Blood!"

The old woman’s face turned slightly pale, she involuntarily retreated two steps, fearing contamination.

This law is very sinister, carrying great corrosiveness, and extremely foul, troublesome once contaminated.

"Wu Qiong! You must know, Beiji Divine Hall has more than one emperor; are you truly willing to tear things apart?"

The old woman said with a fierce appearance but timid inside.

"Hehe, tear things apart with me, who gave you the courage? If you don’t know what’s good, Beiji Divine Hall will turn to dust today!"

Wu Qiong said coldly.

Just as the words fell, five suns rose from the sky’s edge, two with scorching aura, three with cold aura.

These are five emperors.

From the Wu Family and Beixue Sword Sect!

They didn’t come over, but just standing in the sky expressed one attitude—Beiji Divine Hall must either bow or face destruction!
