There were a total of four rounds in this competition. Both sides had won two rounds each. Although the Stygian Immortal and Mystic Immortal groups were more important than the last two groups, the last two rounds were won by both sides. But the last two matches were won too beautifully. They were all crushing victories. So overall, it looked like it was a draw.
Chu Xuan's expression darkened. He had already prepared to mock them, but now he had to swallow his words. The emperors of Feng Cang did not look too good either. They were all experienced immortals. Who could not tell that there was something fishy about the last round?
Hui Ling was the leader of the Earth Immortal group. The remaining two people were clearly defeated by her. But against the people from He Chuan, how could she lose so badly? If there was a huge disparity in strength between the two sides, it would not be a big deal. But as soon as Hui Ling left the stage, the other two body cultivators defeated their opponents. Such an outcome made people suspect that there was something fishy about the previous round.
Everyone subconsciously looked at the person in Chen Ge's arms. All sorts of conspiracy theories popped up in their heads. Although they did not say it out loud because of Chu Xuan's status, they were already convinced that Hui Ling had cheated. They even suspected that Chen Ge had said something to Invincible Sect in private. That was why Hui Ling lost the previous round on purpose.
Chen Ge's expression darkened. He looked at Hui Ling with a complicated expression. Everyone else could see it. Naturally, he could too. But she was his disciple after all. She was injured and the people from He Chuan were still around. He could only suppress his emotions. He helped Hui Ling up, who had already recovered, and looked at the person opposite him.
"Celestial Emperor Chu Xuan, in this competition, both sides have won two rounds. That's a perfect score. Why don't we call it a day? "
"You want to call it a day?" Chu Xuan snorted coldly. The anger in his eyes intensified. "Dream on. Since it's a draw, why don't we fight it out!" With that said, he waved the fan in his hand and an immortal aura surged towards Lonemoon.
"You …" Chen Ge's expression changed. He had no choice but to release his immortal pressure to protect the immortals around him. His face was full of disbelief. "Chu Xuan, why do you have to do this? I have no intention of fighting with you. You and I are both celestial emperors. If we really fight, the innocent will be hurt. Today is just a friendly match between the immortals of our sect. If you really care about winning or losing … sigh, we'll consider it your win. "
"Bullshit!" Chu Xuan looked humiliated. He became even angrier. He glared at Chen Ge as if he wanted to burn a hole in him. "Pui! Who cares about your concession? Put away that hypocritical face of yours. I've said it before … If we meet again, I will definitely take your life! Since I dared to come here today, I naturally have the confidence to make sure you won't be able to return. "
Chen Ge's expression suddenly changed. He thought of something and exclaimed, "What did you do?"
Chu Xuan did not answer. He laughed icily and suddenly shouted, "What are you waiting for?"
"What?!"
Before the crowd could react, King Ge You, who was seated closest to Chen Ge, suddenly leapt forward and thrust the immortal sword in his hand towards Chen Ge.
He did not notice it for a moment, but he was a Celestial Emperor after all. He subconsciously turned around and slapped the other party away. Although he managed to avoid being hit in the vitals, his opponent's sword still managed to break through his defenses, leaving a wound on his hand. Bright red blood immediately gushed out.
"Ge You, you …"
It was not just Chen Ge. Even the country emperors looked dumbfounded at the person who had been slapped away. No one had expected him to betray them at the last minute!
"Emperor, you can't blame me for this." Ge You struggled to his feet and smiled smugly. He did not show any signs of panic. "You're the one who can't tell right from wrong. You ignored the joint request of the country emperors and insisted on protecting the Invincible Sect. You have no right to control Feng Cang. It's time for this mainland to have a new master. "
Chen Ge's expression darkened. "Do you think that by relying on Chu Xuan and hurting me, you can become the master of Feng Cang mainland?" Without the cultivation of a Celestial Emperor, how could one control a mainland? Just based on this sword, he did not take it seriously. With a gentle wave of his hand, the wound had already disappeared.
Ge You's smile deepened. "You're all dead. Of course I can!"
Just as he finished speaking, the array beneath their feet suddenly lit up. A blinding red light enveloped everyone on the platform. Everyone was shocked. They wanted to fly up but their bodies froze. They could not move at all. Beneath Chen Ge's feet, something blood-red was moving, forming a strange talisman. Upon closer inspection, they realized that it was Chen Ge's blood.
Ge You's attack was not a sneak attack, but to use Chen Ge's blood to set up an array!
The other spectating disciples wanted to rush over to save Chen Ge but were stopped by the immortals Chu Xuan had brought. Even if some of them tried to rush over, they would be trapped the moment they touched the red light, unable to move. The red light grew larger and the surrounding scenery changed. The platform that had been used for the martial arts competition cracked open. Mountains and rivers began to appear, as if they were forming a new world.
"What … what array is this?" Chen Ge was panicking. He tried to use the immortal Qi in his body to break out of the array, but found that the more he resisted, the tighter the restraints on his body became.
"Immortal Execution Array." Chu Xuan took a step forward. His eyes were filled with the satisfaction of having exacted his revenge. "I've been searching for this for more than a thousand years. I've spent hundreds of years trying to figure out its use. It's the only ancient array in the immortal realm that can kill immortals."
Ancient array! Everyone sucked in a deep breath, their faces pale. No wonder he wanted to set the arena for the competition at the Xumi realm. He had no intention of letting them go from the start.
"Once you enter this array, none of you will be able to escape." With that, he conjured a seal. In a flash, he charged towards them. He waved the immortal artifact in his hand and thousands of wind blades appeared. Chen Ge was about to be killed along with the Emperors who were unable to resist.
Suddenly, a terrifying sword Qi shot up into the sky, sweeping away his wind blades. Chu Xuan was shocked. He retreated a few steps to avoid the sword Qi. He looked down and saw a Young Emperor standing on Chen Ge's left with a sword in his hand. His entire body was emitting thick sword Qi, forcing the red light to retreat.
Chu Xuan frowned. He did not expect that there would be such a powerful sword immortal in Feng Cang continent. Even though he was trapped by the Immortal Execution Array, he could still use his sword.
The red light grew larger and larger. It seemed like Chu Xuan and his people were about to be sucked into it. The Immortal Execution Array was almost complete. If they did not get out now, they would be trapped inside.
"Hmph!" He snorted and waved the fan in his hand. More wind blades flew towards them.
"Yi Qing, to the right!" Lonemoon shouted. It was fine for them to take a few wind blades, but Yu Hong and the rest were on the right. They would not be able to block this attack.
Yi Qing turned his sword and swept it to the right, blocking a large number of wind blades.
Chu Xuan took the opportunity to rush in. He glared at Chen Ge. "I can't kill you with my own hands, but it's worth it to destroy your disciples." After saying that, without looking back, he grabbed the person on his left and flew out. He didn't even look back.
Shen Ying, who was suddenly dragged away: "…"
Speaking of which, was he left-handed?
— — —
As Chu Xuan left, the people he brought with him also flew away. The Immortal Execution Array was complete. The ruins were now covered in a blood-red semicircle. No one could see what was going on inside.
Only a few disciples were lucky enough not to be trapped in the array, but none of them dared to take another step forward.
Lan Hua and Feng Ying saw Chu Xuan fly away. Naturally, they also saw Shen Ying being taken away.
"That's …" Lan Hua stood up abruptly and turned to give chase.
"What are you doing?" Feng Ying hurriedly pulled him back.
"Saving her. Didn't you see Good Heart being taken away?"
The corner of Feng Ying's mouth twitched. "Trust me, the one who needs saving the least is her! We'd better first … "
"No!" Lan Hua ignored him. He flung Feng Ying's hand away and chased after Shen Ying.
"Wait!" Before he could finish speaking, Shen Ying had already disappeared into the horizon.
Holy shit!
Lan Hua flew in a hurry. After chasing for a full fifteen minutes, he still did not see Shen Ying. In his heart, he cursed the person who had taken Shen Ying away. Indeed, none of the Celestial Emperors were good people. His heart was in a mess.
Deep down, he knew very well that this was the Heavens beyond Heaven. His opponent was a Celestial Emperor. Even if he caught up, his identity as a demon would definitely be exposed if they fought. Then, even he would not be able to escape. The most sensible thing to do was to save the Young Emperor of Invincible Sect first, then think of a way to save Shen Ying.
Or he could be calmer and just ignore it. Shen Ying was his Good Heart. If she was captured or lost, it would only be good for him. Once Good Heart was gone, he could directly become a Skyfiend.
He understood the logic, but … he could not control himself!
○ | ̄ | _
Thinking that it was his Good Heart, his body began to move on its own. He could not control himself. He took off the necklace around his neck and activated his demonic Qi to speed up the chase.
After a short while, he finally tracked a faint trace of the Celestial Emperor's aura. Delighted, he immediately flew in that direction. In a short while, he saw more than ten auras stopping on a floating peak. His heart tightened and he subconsciously opened his mouth to shout.
"Let go of that lady!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the tallest figure paused, turned around and waved his hand. "Hey, Boss!"
"Good Heart? Are you … "Are you alright? Before he finished speaking, he suddenly stepped on something. Looking down, he found that it was an immortal. Subconsciously, he looked around and found that something was wrong.
Huh?
Why were there more than ten people lying on the ground?
Why were there a few hanging on the tree?
Why did the person Shen Ying was stepping on look so familiar?
What exactly … was going on?!
What happened in the last quarter of an hour?
(° △ °)
"Good … Heart?" This was Good Heart. Was he mistaken? "You're … alright?"
Subconsciously, he looked at her. She was alright! She did not lose an arm, did not break a leg, her hair was not messed up, except that her clothes were a little gray and ugly … Oh, that was because she did not look good in the first place.
"I'm alright." Shen Ying tilted her head, suddenly remembering something. "Oh, right, Ch-"
Just as he was about to ask about the situation of the others, the person beneath his feet seemed to have heard something shocking, and he immediately started struggling like a zombie. "You are … Lan … Celestial Emperor Lan Hua, aren't you?!"
He seemed to want to turn around, but just as he moved, Shen Ying stepped on him again. He could only turn his head with all his might, trying to look at Lan Hua.
Lan Hua frowned and looked at the person on the ground, who was beaten beyond recognition. "Who … is this pig head?"
"Mm …" Shen Ying thought for a moment, then said, "The person who called himself your gay friend."
"… What good chicken oil?"
"Celestial Emperor, it's me … it's me!" The pig head tried his best to hide his disfigured face and moved closer to Lan Hua. "I'm Chu Xuan, Master! You … you're still alive, that's great, Master … "
Oh, so they're master and disciple?
Shen Ying paused and subconsciously retracted her foot. She turned to look at the person beside her.
"Hey, hey, hey, what are you talking about? I've never had any disciples before." Lan Hua frowned.
"Mas … Celestial Emperor." Chu Xuan became even more agitated. He stared straight at Lan Hua and said, "I'm really Chu Xuan. I'm the Chu Xuan from seventy thousand years ago … of Shu Tai Peak!"
"Shu Tai Peak?" Lan Hua squatted down and looked at him carefully. After thinking for a long time, he said seriously, "I don't know you!"
Chu Xuan: "…"
Shen Ying: "…"
Mm, she seemed to have heard something shattering.
Chu Xuan's originally purple face turned pale. It was as if he had lost all his life.
His body trembled and he said after a while,
"Chu Xuan knows … I'm not fit to be your disciple. I didn't dare to in the past … and now even more so … I was deceived by others in the past. I'm really sorry. I don't expect you to forgive me. I just … I just beg you to give me a chance to redeem myself. " As if he couldn't hold it in anymore, his tears flowed down and covered his face. Damn! He looked even uglier now. "Even if … you kill me with your own hands, I will not complain."
Oh! What a deep feeling! Shen Ying looked at Lan Hua again.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Lan Hua felt goosebumps all over his body. He turned to glare at her and took a step back in disgust. "I really don't know him."
"Celestial Emperor …" Chu Xuan looked even more hopeless now.
Shen Ying sighed. "Well … we'll talk about flirting later!"
"…" Who's flirting? Speak clearly!
"Hey, you're not dead yet, right? If you're not dead, come back with me to break the array." It was almost lunchtime and Chef was still trapped in the array!
"That's right!" Lan Hua thought of this as well. This was not the time to talk about this. He forgot to ask Shen Ying how she managed to escape.
"You have to go back!" Chu Xuan looked at her in disbelief. Did the Celestial Emperor want to save that ungrateful Chen Ge?
"Why?" Shen Ying, who had not eaten yet, looked at him coldly. "Do you have a problem with that?"
Images flashed across Chu Xuan's mind. His entire body trembled and his pig head trembled. He subconsciously hid behind Lan Hua. "No … no." Compared to Emperor Lan Hua, this female immortal was scarier!
Lan Hua did not mind. He summoned his flying sword and picked up the pig's head from the ground. Together with Shen Ying, they flew back.
The three of them flew at top speed, but it still took them a quarter of an hour to return to the Meru Realm. During this time, they finally understood the relationship between Lan Hua and Chu Xuan.
Seventy thousand years ago, Chu Xuan and Chen Ge were immortals from Yunze continent's Shu Tai Peak. Both of them were Mystic Immortals. Because they were itinerant cultivators, their cultivation techniques were not very good. That caused Chu Xuan to have problems during his Heavenly Tribulation. At that time, Lan Hua had not become a demon. He was only an Immortal Emperor. He happened to pass by and helped Chu Xuan. He even gave them cultivation techniques that suited them.
They had only met once, but Chu Xuan already saw Lan Hua as his master. With the cultivation techniques that Chu Xuan left behind, Chu Xuan cultivated diligently and both of them became Celestial Emperors. Later, when they heard that demons were causing trouble, Chen Ge invited Chu Xuan and the other Celestial Emperors to eliminate them.
At that time, Chu Xuan did not know who the demons were. When Lan Hua helped him, he did not tell them their names. After becoming a demon, Chu Xuan was surrounded by demonic Qi and could not see his appearance.
After this matter was settled, he found out that the cultivation technique he was practicing was created by Celestial Emperor Lan Hua. And Lan Hua was the demon that they had worked together to exterminate.
Chu Xuan was in great pain because he had killed his benefactor with his own hands. When he found out that Lan Hua had become a demon because of his younger brother, Lan Yu, he decided to work with Chen Ge to avenge Celestial Emperor Lan Hua. But Lan Yu was already the Celestial Emperor of Yunze continent. Chen Ge did not want any conflict and rejected him. Chu Xuan was so ungrateful that he hated Chen Ge as well.
That was why he had been causing trouble for Lan Yu and Chen Ge all these years.
Chu Xuan's tears and snot flowed down his face. He looked so ashamed and angry that he wanted to jump off the sword.
Lan Hua, on the other hand, looked calm and unperturbed. He even wanted to eat some melon seeds. Because Chu Xuan could not forget this past … he had no recollection of it.
He also said that he had given so many cultivation techniques to others in the past. How could he remember who it was?
That's right, Boss Lan used to be a spendthrift. Shen Ying was starting to suspect that her brother had kicked her off the stage because she thought she was too extravagant with her money.
Hmm … It looked like she had to treat Father Niu better in the future.
