CHAPTER 2556: CHAPTER 2556
Ruthless!
"Oh?"
The Emperor raised his eyebrows and asked in confusion, "Why are you bringing them away? Could they be related to the Holy Mountain? "
"Divine Wind Emperor."
The cultivator in black said seriously, "This concerns the internal affairs of the Holy Mountain. I hope the Emperor will not get involved."
"I was just asking casually," the Emperor said with a shrug.
"Oh, right. I will only give you four slots this time. Aside from His Highness the Crown Prince, I will also let him bring three followers. Let's make it these three peak Rank 5 quasi-Emperors."
The cultivator in black looked at the three peak Rank 5 quasi-Emperors opposite him and said indifferently.
However …
As soon as the cultivator in black finished speaking …
On the Holy Mountain's side, the last young cultivator in blue said, "There's no need. Let Ning Yue and the others go. The slots for the Holy Mountain Conference are limited. Even if they are followers, they cannot be brought casually."
Swish!
The Emperor's expression changed slightly when he heard the cultivator in blue's words.
He arranged for three peak Rank 5 quasi-Emperors to go with Yang Yuming. Not only could they keep an eye on Yang Yuming, but they could also help him gather information about the Holy Mountain.
However, the blue-clothed martialist's decision had disrupted his plans to a certain extent.
At this moment …
Four figures appeared in front of the Divine Wind Palace.
"Come in."
The Emperor's face lit up when he saw the four cultivators suddenly appear. Then, he said calmly, "These are the outstanding talents of the Holy Mountain. Go and greet them."
The cultivator in blue frowned slightly.
To be honest, the Emperor's behavior was somewhat abnormal.
There must be a reason for this abnormality.
If they did not give up more slots today, there would be some trouble.
These Holy Mountain envoys did indeed have many slots.
However, it was hard to appease everyone.
You want me to give up more slots, and he wants me to give up more slots. Even if there were many slots, they could not afford to go through so much trouble.
The cultivator in blue did not reveal anything on the surface even though he thought so.
"At most, one slot."
The cultivator in blue looked at the three peak Rank 5 quasi-Emperors opposite him and thought to himself.
Giving up one slot, together with Ning Yue and the other two, and Yang Yuming, that would be five slots.
Wasting five spots on a country like the Divine Wind Empire was indeed not worth it.
However, when the blue-clad cultivator thought about the additional rewards for bringing Ning Yue and the others back to the Holy Mountain, he felt relieved.
"Greetings, Envoy of the Sacred Mountain."
Yang Yuming said as if he was very familiar with her.
"You!"
The blue-clothed martial artist did not pay attention to Yang Yuming at first. After all, Yang Yuming was just a Crown Prince of the Divine Wind Empire.
However, for some reason …
He found something unusual about Yang Yuming.
Yang Yuming's temperament was very similar to a person, very similar!
Although that person was a woman, their temperament was not much different.
"How about this."
The Sovereign Emperor did not notice the change in the blue-clad cultivator's expression. After thinking for a while, he said, "The matter of the slots is very important. In my opinion, let Ning Yue and the others exchange pointers with these Rank 5 quasi-Emperors. Whoever wins will go to the Holy Mountain."
The Sovereign Emperor had deliberately concealed his peak Rank Five Quasi-emperor cultivation, only saying that he was a Rank Five Quasi-emperor.
Ever since Ning Yue and the others came out of closed-door seclusion, the Sovereign Emperor determined Ning Yue and the others' cultivation.
Peak Rank Three Quasi-emperor and Rank Four Quasi-emperor.
Ning Yue was a peak Rank Three Quasi-emperor. Ning Lu and Ao Xing were Rank Four Quasi-emperors.
With this cultivation, the chances of winning against a peak Rank Five Quasi-emperor were practically zero.
He said this in order to create a false impression for Ning Yue and prevent Ning Yue from being unwilling to exchange pointers.
"Sovereign Emperor, this is not too appropriate, right?"
The blue-clad cultivator's expression changed slightly.
The Sovereign Emperor was clearly giving him a difficult problem by doing this.
Exchange pointers?
What a joke!
Even if he believed in the Emperor's selection criteria, how could these Rank Three and Rank Four Quasi-emperors possibly win against a peak Rank Five Quasi-emperor?
"There's nothing inappropriate about it. Let's ask Ning Yue and the others for their opinion first."
The Sovereign Emperor smiled faintly and looked at Ning Yue, asking, "What do you think? The Holy Mountain slot is of great importance. Anyone who can go to the Holy Mountain will advance rapidly in cultivation. As long as you can defeat these Rank Five Quasi-emperors, you can go to the Holy Mountain. "
"Do you think I'm a fool?"
Ning Yue did not reply immediately. Instead, he inwardly slandered the Sovereign Emperor.
A peak Rank Five Quasi-emperor was extremely powerful.
Even if he advanced to peak Rank Three Quasi-emperor, his chances of winning against a peak Rank Five Quasi-emperor were not high.
Unless he could improve further and reach the half-step Rank Four Quasi-emperor realm!
Glancing at Ao Xing and Ning Lu, Ning Yue felt that they were about the same as him and should not be able to defeat a peak Rank Five Quasi-emperor.
At this thought …
Ning Yue said, "Sovereign Emperor, our strength is low. I'm only a peak Rank Three Quasi-emperor …"
"Here, this."
The Sovereign Emperor interrupted Ning Yue and casually tossed out three blood-red fruits.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Ning Yue, Ning Lu, and Ao Xing each caught a blood-red fruit.
A peak early-stage Emperor fruit!
Looking at the blood-red fruit in his hand, Ning Yue was finally moved.
In order to scheme against him, the Sovereign Emperor had gone to great lengths and even took out a peak early-stage Emperor fruit.
"You can refine this fruit here. It won't be too late to spar after you're done."
The Sovereign Emperor said.
"Then we won't refuse."
Ning Yue sat down cross-legged and tossed the fruit into his mouth.
Beside him, Ning Lu and Ao Xing did the same.
They tossed the fruit into their mouths and began to cultivate.
"Interesting."
The cultivator in blue looked at Ning Yue and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. He muttered, "The person that the Emperor values is indeed extraordinary. I wonder how strong he is."
Ao Xing was a True Dragon, and Ning Lu was a World Tree.
The cultivator in blue had heard this news from his elder brother.
As for Ning Yue, he was an ordinary person.
Ao Xing and Ning Lu had to be brought to the Holy Mountain because they were very important.
But Ning Yue, an ordinary person, was singled out by the Emperor. This was enough to show that Ning Yue was not ordinary.
Among the three cultivators.
The cultivator in white was called Xie Jia, the cultivator in black was called Xie Hu, and the cultivator in blue was called Zhou Jiahao.
All three of them were early-stage Rank 6 Quasi-emperors.
Zhou Jiahao's status was clearly much higher than Xie Jia and Xie Hu.
"Zhou Jiahao, the higher-ups said that we must bring Ning Yue and the others back to the Holy Mountain no matter what."
Xie Jia lowered his voice and said, "Ning Yue will definitely lose against those peak Rank 5 Quasi-emperors. The Divine Wind Emperor is determined to make us give three more spots. In my opinion, we should just bring Ning Yue and the others away."
"It's fine, it's just three spots. Moreover, I feel that Ning Yue is not simple."
Zhou Jiahao waved his hand.
"Not simple?"
Xie Jia and Xie Hu were slightly taken aback. Then, their gazes fell on Ning Yue.
Hiss!
With one look, the two of them sucked in a breath of cold air and their expressions turned grave!
