The Flaming Jadeite shone with a dazzling light as it shot towards the short old man with a powerful pulse of energy. Wherever it passed, the surrounding space shook violently. Pitch-black spatial cracks were ripped open by the terrifying shockwaves from the Flaming Jadeite.
The short old man turned pale with fright. The energy from the Flaming Jadeite was so powerful that it made him tremble. After all, this was equivalent to an attack from a Complete Realm expert. With the strength of a Fourth Celestial Layer, how could a Holy Emperor block it? Even if he blocked it, he would be severely injured.
"What is this thing? Could it be a strand of the Holy Emperor's power left in this Holy Emperor's body by a Complete Realm expert? Impossible! The power of a Saint Emperor that has entered a person's body definitely can't display such a terrifying aura. " The short old man could no longer maintain his composure. He quickly retreated as he anxiously asked the other eight Holy Emperor for help, "Everyone, let's block this attack together. Otherwise, we won't be able to bear the consequences!"
The other eight Holy Emperor also became serious. None of them had thought that Bi Hai, who was only a Holy King, would have such a heaven-defying item on him. It could suddenly erupt with such power. If any one of them had to block this attack, they would have been heavily injured.
Without needing the short old man to ask for help, the eight Holy Emperor already prepared to block this attack together. This was because the short old man was standing in front of them. The Flaming Jadeite was shooting towards them as well as the short old man. It would be difficult for them to stay out of the battle.
A tremendous amount of energy surged out from the eight Saint Kings. The nine of them struck out at the same time at the Flaming Jadeite and the surging ripples of energy collided with the Flaming Jadeite, causing the space around them to tremble.
Boom! With a deafening sound, the sky above Flame City seemed to explode with resplendent fireworks. Violent ripples of energy shook up the surroundings, wreaking havoc in all directions. A portion of it directly swept toward the city below.
The expressions of Bi Hai and the other Saint Rulers all changed drastically. The ripples of energy came from the battle between the Holy Emperor and were extremely powerful. They could only protect themselves before the ripples of energy, but they were unable to prevent the ripples from reaching Flame City. If the ripples of energy reached the city below, many of the weaker people in the city would die.
You Yue, who had personally witnessed all of this, understood this as well. Her beautiful eyes radiated coldness as the Moon God Scepter silently appeared in her hand. The fist-sized gemstone on the scepter shone with hazy moonlight. You Yue waved the scepter and an incomparably pure ray of moonlight radiated from the gemstone. It formed a seemingly weak barrier around Raging Flame City.
The powerful ripples of energy from the clash between the Flaming Jadeite and the nine Holy Emperor experts viciously collided with the barrier created by You Yue. The barrier immediately began to shake violently, but fortunately, the barrier only endured some of the ripples of energy and not the direct attacks of the Holy Emperor experts. It successfully withstood it.
After the rampaging ripples of energy in the sky calmed down, the barrier of Moonlight Force silently vanished as well. You Yue looked at the exquisite scepter in her hand with some heartache. She could clearly sense that it had used up quite a lot of energy again.
"The energy that master left behind in the scepter is becoming less and less." You Yue sighed inside, but she soon became furious. She stared at the nine Holy Emperor experts in the sky in an unfriendly manner. If she had not interfered in time, Flame City would have been heavily injured because of the nine of them.
The nine Holy Emperor experts hovered in the sky with sunken faces. They were unscathed. Half of them were at the Fifth Heavenly Layer, and two of them were even at the Seventh Heavenly Layer. As a result, the Flaming Jadeite's attack at Great Perfection did not injure them at all when they worked together.
Killing intent filled the eyes of the short old man who had attacked Bi Hai. He was a mighty Holy Emperor, yet he had almost been injured by a mere Saint Ruler. Even though he did not know what the Saint Ruler had used to unleash such a terrifying attack, it was still a great humiliation to him that he would never be able to wash away.
"Very good. I never thought that there would be so many fearless people on the Tian Yuan Continent after the Old Man had lived in seclusion for over a thousand years. A mere Saint Ruler dares to look down on the dignity of a Holy Emperor. Just this alone is unforgivable. Junior, it doesn't matter who is supporting you, the Old Man will kill you today, "said the short old man. He also thought that since Bi Hai could take out such a terrifying Flaming Jadeite, he definitely had the support of a powerful Holy Emperor. However, he had come with the glorious mission of saving the Tian Yuan Continent this time. Not only did he have the protector clans and Mercenary City behind him, but he also had the support of all the Holy Emperor experts on the Tian Yuan Continent. He obviously felt no fear.
"Don't you dare! If you dare to harm great-grandfather Bi Hai in the slightest, none of the nine of you will be leaving Flame City today!" A cold voice rang out from below as soon as the short old man finished speaking. You Yue was enveloped by a layer of pure Moonlight Force as she quickly flew up from the city lord's estate. At the same time, the Bright Moon Divine Hall rose up from the ground, hovering above You Yue's head.
The eyes of the nine Holy Emperor experts immediately turned cold when they heard You Yue's threatening words. They all became flustered and infuriated. The nine Holy Emperor experts had mobilized so many people to borrow the Bright Moon Divine Hall, but they had never thought that a Saint Ruler would try to intimidate them before they could even say anything. They had almost been reduced to a horrible state. Now, they had even been threatened by a woman who was not even a Saint Ruler, which greatly embarrassed them.
A Holy Emperor in red robes coldly snorted. Just when he was about to step forward, he was stopped by the great elder Jitian of Yangji Zong. He said through a communication technique, "Brother Jitian, we've come to borrow the Bright Moon Divine Hall this time, not to cause trouble. It's best if we don't waste too much time here. Leave this to me." Originally, Jitian was very happy to let the five independent Holy Emperor experts teach the Flame Mercenaries a lesson, but he was worried that he would be dragged into the mess, so he could only give up on the idea. The matter of borrowing the Bright Moon Divine Hall was for the sake of suppressing the seal beneath Mercenary City.
It was for the sake of the people of the world. As a result, Jitian was free to take it. Even if Jianchen wanted to punish him, he would have the support of all the experts on the continent, so he obviously had nothing to fear.
"Hmph, Jianchen, it's true that I, Yangji Zong, don't have the strength to deal with you, but I can still destroy the Bright Moon Divine Hall when the World of Forsaken Saints invades the Tian Yuan Continent. As long as I can shave away a portion of your strength, so what if I have to bear some pressure? If you really want to use this matter to make things difficult for me, Yangji Zong, I won't even need to personally do anything. All the experts on the continent will become your enemy, "Jitian sneered inside.
Jitian was tempted to leave with the Bright Moon Divine Hall as soon as he thought up to there. Without any hesitation, he forcefully suppressed his anger because of You Yue and coldly said, "You're called You Yue, right? Our Tian Yuan Continent is currently facing an existential crisis. A tunnel to another world is sealed beneath Mercenary City. Now that the seal has been broken, the experts of the other world can invade our continent at any time. The nine of us have come to save the people of the world, so we've come to borrow the Bright Moon Divine Hall to block the tunnel beneath Mercenary City. Time is tight right now, so please hand over the Bright Moon Divine Hall to us immediately so that we can take it back to Mercenary City. "
You Yue snorted coldly, "The Bright Moon Divine Hall is not mine. It's my master's. If you want to borrow it, you should ask my master."
Jitian was immediately tongue-tied. In reality, he had thought that You Yue would refuse, so he had thought of many excuses and reasons. He had even been prepared to use force. However, he had never thought that You Yue would reply like that, telling him to directly ask Fairy Haoyue to borrow the divine hall.
Among the nine Holy Emperors, Yangji Zong and the four Holy Emperors from the Yiyuan Sect all knew that Fairy Haoyue was still alive. Her soul had always existed and was still in the Bright Moon Divine Hall. In their eyes, Fairy Haoyue was only a paper tiger apart from the great reputation she had left behind in the past. She could only rely on the toughness of the Bright Moon Divine Hall to protect her soul.
However, the five independent Holy Emperors did not know that Fairy Haoyue's soul was still alive. The short old man sneered, "Fairy Haoyue has already been dead for several tens of thousands of years, yet you want us to borrow the divine hall from the dead Fairy Haoyue? That's the greatest joke in the world. Everyone, the matter of suppressing the seal is very urgent. We can't delay any longer. Let's take the divine hall and leave. "
As soon as the old man's voice fell, the Bright Moon Divine Hall floating above You Yue's head suddenly emitted an intense silver-white moonlight. The divine hall's volume rapidly increased, and in an instant, it became an incomparably huge and magnificent divine hall. It was like a dark cloud covering the top of her head.
"Hmph, who said this fairy was already dead?" A cold voice mightily came from the Bright Moon Divine Hall. Immediately, an incomparably tall illusory figure appeared above the divine hall. Her robe fluttered in the wind, and her temperament was otherworldly. She was Fairy Haoyue, but her face was blurry and could not be seen clearly.
The expression of the short old man who had previously said that Fairy Haoyue was already dead changed greatly. He could clearly feel the incomparably powerful soul power coming from Fairy Haoyue's body. It was actually suppressing his soul to the point that it was difficult to move.
"You … you … don't tell me you're Fairy Haoyue …" The short old man was horrified, and his face was filled with disbelief.
"This Fairy Haoyue's soul is so powerful. No wonder she can live until now and her soul is still intact." Yangji Zong and the Holy Emperor of the Yiyuan sect were secretly surprised as well, but they were not afraid. Fairy Haoyue posed no threat to them with just her powerful soul. They also guessed that Fairy Haoyue's soul was unable to leave the Bright Moon Divine Hall.
Fairy Haoyue coldly stared at the nine Holy Emperor experts and sternly said, "I've already sensed the changes in Mercenary City. The earth spirit guarding the city has already reached Returnance. If even she can't stop them, you won't be able to change anything even if you take my Bright Moon Divine Hall."
