He did not want to expose his fairy weapon or his bloodline of Zhuyan. For a moment, he felt his hands were tied.
"Damn it! One day, I will openly reveal my Celestial Artifact and shock these bastards to death!" This was his little thought, but he also knew that he was not strong enough now. He could only endure and be a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle.
In addition to Emperor Yang and Ashoka, Yan Yuntian's biggest competitor was Emperor Wolf of the Wu Dynasty.
The Wu Dynasty was not a dynasty in the Penglai Region, but a big dynasty in the Fangzhang Region. This dynasty was very similar to Northern Yuan. They were both famous grassland tribes with wolves as their totem. They were fierce and bloodthirsty, and had confronted another dynasty called Great Zhao in the Fangzhang Region for tens of thousands of years. In the end, Emperor Wolf destroyed the Great Zhao Dynasty in one fell swoop, occupied a quarter of the Fangzhang Region's land, and established a brand-new dynasty. In Zhou Bao's view, this was like the situation in the history of ancient China, when those barbaric grassland tribes conquered the dynasties of the Central Plains. The funniest thing was that Emperor Wolf seemed to yearn for the civilization of the Great Zhao Dynasty. After conquering Great Zhao, he changed all the rules and systems of the Wu Dynasty to the Great Zhao Dynasty. God knew how long this sh * tty dynasty could exist. But there was no doubt that this newly established dynasty had great strength. In terms of achievements, Emperor Wolf was comparable to Yan Yuntian who destroyed Northern Yuan. In terms of ruling power, he was superior. After all, there was no trouble under his rule.
Looking closely at Emperor Wolf, Zhou Bao found that he was an unprepossessing person. He was short, about 1.6 meters tall, thin, and had a few pockmarks on his face. He had some cultivation, but it was only at Level Five. His strength was nothing to worry about. But when he sensed carefully, Zhou Bao was surprised to find that Emperor Wolf had deviated from the Way of the Emperor.
Yes, it was crooked. His cultivation had reached a strange level. Although his strength was only at Level Five, if he really fought, he might really be able to fight against an expert at Level Seven or Level Eight. Because in his Internal Qi of the Emperor, there was a kind of Qi Power that was almost above everything, as if he was the master of heaven and earth. It was as if he had developed the fist intent by practicing boxing, so he had the upper hand when fighting with others.
However, in Zhou Bao's eyes, this Emperor Wolf was simply useless.
"Damn it, he's a psychopath. If he was born to be the Human Emperor, he might be able to do something. But now, hehe, he's competing for the position of the Human Emperor, and there's also the Divine Wind Palace. Do you think the Divine Wind Palace will let a psychopath like you ascend to the position of the Human Emperor?"
Next to Emperor Wolf stood another man. This man was bare-chested and muscular. His bald head was even sleeker than the Child-endowing Buddha's, except for the lack of a ring scar.
"Not bad, this guy is also at the Level of True Immortality. He should be King Liuli. It seems that there are many experts in the Fangzhang Region. The world is so big, and strange things are everywhere. I've always been in the Central Mainland Region, and I've been a frog in the well. It's not bad to take this opportunity to meet the heroes of the world!" With this idea in mind, Zhou Bao began to observe the other emperors who came to participate in the Human Emperor-selecting Ceremony. These people, in their own dynasties, were all Emperors whose words carried enormous weight. They were all the best emperors in their dynasties for countless years. Their every move was full of power. In particular, there was an emperor who was only 20 years old, who attracted Zhou Bao's attention.
This young emperor had a handsome face and a warm smile, which made people feel like they were bathing in the spring breeze. But what surprised Zhou Bao most was the calmness and confidence in his behavior.
Yes, confidence.
In the face of the current situation, it could be said that no one was as confident as he was. Even Emperor Yang of the Li Dynasty could not have such confidence. But this young emperor seemed to be very confident. As if aware of his gaze, he turned his eyes slightly and looked at Zhou Bao. As if he knew who Zhou Bao was, he nodded slightly, as if to express his goodwill.
Zhou Bao also smiled and nodded gently.
"This guy is a little interesting!" He thought to himself, but his eyes moved to Yu Taixu's face.
"Eh? These two guys looked quite alike. Could it be that they were Yu Taixu's illegitimate children? Could this guy be Yu Taixu's secret weapon? "Zhou Bao thought to himself.
Logically speaking, the Human Emperor candidate was also of great importance to the Divine Wind Palace. Since the Hong family already had a candidate to support, it was impossible that the Yu family did not have a favorite candidate. Among the four emperors who were most likely to become the Human Emperor, the Yu family did not seem to favor any one of them. It was rumored that the Yu family's favorite candidate was Ashoka of the Peacock Dynasty. But after seeing Ashoka, Zhou Bao felt that it was somewhat unlikely, because he felt that the Peacock King was not the same kind of person as the Divine Wind Palace.
Just as Zhou Bao was racking his brains, someone had already stood out from the other side.
The one who stood out was a thin old man. Zhou Bao guessed that he was an Elder of the Chen Ancestral Temple, or even the person in charge of the Chen Ancestral Temple. Just like the reports Zhou Bao had heard in his previous life, this old guy first introduced all the guests and candidates in a serious manner. Then, he told everyone about the importance of the candidate for the position of the Human Emperor and asked all the sects and influences to choose carefully. Then, he listed some rules and regulations of the competition in detail. These were all the things that should be said, so Zhou Bao did not take them seriously.
When the Elder of the Chen's Ancestral Temple finished speaking, the Human Emperor-selecting Ceremony began. The first step, of course, was for the competing emperors to explain their achievements to the crowd, just like the report he had heard in his previous life. Everyone, including Yan Yuntian and Emperor Yang, was very satisfied with what they had done during their reign. They exaggerated their achievements to the extreme, and they almost said that they were the first sage of all times. Zhou Bao did not listen at all, but closed his eyes to rest, wholeheartedly preparing for the second round.
Because the second round was the key. He had to defeat all the heroes and show that he had the strength to help Yan Yuntian suppress the experts of the Four Regions. Only in this way could he ensure that he would not lose. As for the current bickering, everyone knew how to brag. Even the young emperor that Zhou Bao had noticed just now was full of extravagant words. Could he do all these things at his age?
Therefore, Zhou Bao showed a look of disapproval on his face.
He did not know the order of the report, and the people who described their achievements were all afraid that they would be worse than others. Their words were like an old woman's foot-binding cloth, long and smelly, making everyone drowsy. After listening for eight or ten hours, it was the seventh emperor's turn.
The seventh was Emperor Yang.
Emperor Yang himself was neither talented nor powerful. His status today was entirely due to the support of Senior Grand Tutor Hong. However, after all, he had been the emperor of the Li Dynasty for so long, so he still had dignity. He spoke passionately. Although his physical condition was so poor that he could not help but gasp for breath when he spoke, his words were full of emotion, with a little humor from time to time, which made Zhou Bao feel better about him.
Just as he was speaking excitedly and Zhou Bao was listening with interest, suddenly, Zhou Bao heard a faint sound of clothes fluttering in the wind. The sound was so subtle that if Zhou Bao's spiritual mind had not reached an abnormal level, he would not have been able to detect it. Of course, what surprised Zhou Bao most was that there was a familiar spirit in the sound.
"Snake-like Breath Holding Skill!"
Yes, this was the spirit of the Snake-like Breath Holding Skill. The Snake-like Breath Holding Skill had a mysterious origin and was one of the Seven Wonderful Techniques. Once it was used, one's spirit would disappear. No matter how strong one's spiritual mind was, it was impossible to detect it. However, this person's attainment in the Snake-like Breath Holding Skill was far inferior to Zhou Bao's, and his strength was also inferior to Zhou Bao's. Therefore, when he revealed a trace of his spirit, Zhou Bao was keenly aware of it.
As soon as he noticed it, Zhou Bao could not help laughing.
It seemed that the Human Emperor-selecting Ceremony would not be peaceful.
Sure enough, almost at the same time as Zhou Bao sensed the spirit, a black light broke out of the hollow and shot straight in front of Emperor Yang.
"Ah —!" Emperor Yang was just an ordinary person who did not know martial arts. In the face of this sudden attack, his only reaction was to cry out in surprise.
A palm appeared in front of Emperor Yang and caught the black light at the critical moment.
"Interesting!" Zhou Bao clearly saw that the palm appeared out of thin air beside Emperor Yang. The space rippled like water, and a figure with no expression appeared in front of Emperor Yang. The palm belonged to this expressionless man.
"Didn't you say that only one person could be brought here? How come there are two guys at once? " Zhou Bao raised his eyebrows, but soon he found that something was wrong. This strange man was not only expressionless, but also had no spirit at all. He was a dead thing.
Soon, Zhou Bao's attention was diverted from this strange guy, because something bigger had happened.
12 black lights appeared at the same time and shot at the other 12 emperors.
"Puff, puff, puff, puff —!"
Several muffled sounds rang out. In an instant, six emperors were penetrated by the black lights and died. Although two others blocked the attack with the help of the people around them, they were also seriously injured. Only Emperor Yang, Yan Yuntian, Ashoka, Emperor Wolf, and the young emperor that Zhou Bao had noticed before were not injured.
"Interesting stuff, but you're courting death by showing it in front of me!" Zhou Bao pinched the black thorn that had shot at Yan Yuntian with his fingertips and stabbed him with a backhand. With a muffled groan, the sneak attacker was stabbed to death by Zhou Bao's backhand.
Zhou Bao had no intention of leaving anyone alive, nor did he want to investigate. This was not his business, but the business of Divine Wind Palace.
