"This is like picking up sesame seeds but losing watermelons …"
The news that Di Liu had beaten the people of the four great clans out of the Turbulent Sea quickly shocked all the regions. However, the news that followed was even more unexpected … According to the rumors, Di Liu had not killed the four geniuses of Great Scarlet Sky, but had instead captured them. When the four great clans had come to him for an explanation, he had threatened them with their lives and forced the four great clans to pay with Dao Comprehension Elixirs. The four great clans had held back for fear of harming the innocent, which was why Di Liu had been able to control them all this time. Even when they were beaten out of the Turbulent Sea, they did not dare to retaliate and could only swallow their anger …
"Why is this Martial Emperor's Son so narrow-minded?"
Many people shook their heads and sighed after learning about these half-truths. "Doesn't he know that if he really did this, he would be able to gain some benefits temporarily, but he would forever offend the four great forces? Wouldn't he be able to get their support?"
"Now that the two Martial Emperors are fighting each other, how important is the support of the four great clans?"
"Even if you have obtained a lot of resources, you can't rely on these resources to cultivate a Grand Unity Supreme Immortal in a short period of time. However, if you offend the four great clans, you won't have a Grand Unity Supreme Immortal on your side. How foolish!"
However, Di Liu turned a deaf ear to these speculations. He stayed in the Turbulent Sea all day long and did not even show his head once!
He seemed to be certain that he was only waiting for the four great clans to deliver the Dao Comprehension Elixirs to him …
And the one who was returning to him was His Royal Highness Di Shi.
"He used Fairy Bing Yan and the others as hostages to extort the resources of the four great clans?"
When Emperor Shi heard this news, he was obviously stunned, as if he didn't expect this.
Fairy Qing Luo's expression was calm as she nodded and said, "This matter has been confirmed. I went to see Elder Meng of the Dark Shadow Sky. She is trying to find a way to get the Three Lifetime Tea from her clan, and … she is very angry with us now!"
"Haha, the Three Lifetime Tea is the lifeblood of the Meng Family. Moreover, the capture of Xiao Ying 'er of the Meng Family has something to do with me. It is not surprising that she would vent her anger on me. I believe the other clans are thinking the same thing at this time. My younger brother has really changed. I really did not expect that he would spare the lives of those people, and I did not expect that he would endure for more than a month and only throw those people out to reverse the situation after observing the movements of the other clans. It seems that a thousand years of suppression has taught him a lot!"
Di Shi's left hand was tugging at the corner of his robe, and his right hand was holding a brush. He was gently drawing on the jade table, and what he was drawing was a starry sky filled with Fiendgods and demons battling. It was extremely lifelike, and even before the painting was completed, one could already feel the murderous intent and tragic intent coming from it. As he spoke with Fairy Qingluo, he did not stop drawing. No matter what news he heard about the Emperor Path, the brush in his hand did not tremble in the slightest, as if his heart was as calm as an ancient well.
"He does not seem to have changed on the surface, but at every critical moment, he always handles things in a tricky and strange manner. It is hard to see through him, and he seems to be extremely absurd, but he is always unexpected. This time … I am still not at ease, should we …"
Fairy Qing Luo was not as calm as he was, and asked with a frown.
When Di Shi heard this, he gently shook his head and said, "No need!"
Fairy Qing Luo was slightly taken aback, and raised her head to look at him, her eyes filled with confusion.
Di Shi's brush danced like dragons and snakes, and soon he had already sketched out a man in black armor, with long hair that draped over his shoulders. He held a strange human-shaped broadsword in his hand, and his appearance was very fierce. At the same time, he did not raise his head and said, "No need to care about what he does, just do what we need to do. Those Marquises, after suffering such a great loss, are probably a little annoyed with me for not paying attention to them. We do not need to interfere in this matter, just send someone to deliver a bottle of Emperor Essence to each of them …"
"Emperor Essence?"
When Fairy Qing Luo heard this, she could not help but be shocked, and her body seemed to tremble with him.
She was born in Great Scarlet Sky, how could she not know how precious this thing was?
In Great Scarlet Sky, the various Marquises all controlled some precious resources, how could the Di family not?
The reason why the Di Family had always been able to firmly and ruthlessly suppress all the other Marquises, and even emerge victorious in the War of Immortal Kings, and become an Immortal Emperor, was because of a rare resource that had been firmly in their hands for the past hundred thousand years … Emperor Essence!
It was said that this item was the essence of the sun and moon, the remaining treasure of chaos, and could also be called the best cultivation resource in the world, apart from an Immortal Life. Since the Era of Ancient Heaven, the Di family had been above the Immortals because of this item, and all the Immortals in the world had risked their lives to obtain a drop of this treasure. Fairy Qing Luo's status was not low, but she had not seen it even once since she was young. She only knew that her father, Qing Xuanyue, had been bestowed a bottle by the Immortal Emperor, and that it was extremely precious, and he could not bear to waste a single drop on her …
Back then, why had Di Liu always suppressed Di Shi, and was publicly recognized as the son most doted on by the Immortal Emperor?
The reason was that when Di Liu was born, the sky shone brightly, and that year, even the collection of Emperor Essence was several times more than in previous years. Thus, the Scarlet Emperor was overjoyed, and simply named him "Di Liu", and thus established his position!
According to Fairy Qing Luo's knowledge, even this Di Shi had not come into contact with this treasure!
"Before Father sealed himself, he gave me ten bottles of this to help me cultivate and break through to the Perfected Golden Immortal realm!"
As if sensing the surprise in Fairy Qing Luo's heart, Di Shi explained softly as he continued painting.
"But you …"
Fairy Qing Luo wanted to say something, but stopped. Although this item was not hers, she could not help but feel pained.
"My cultivation has indeed reached a bottleneck, but I do not need so much Emperor Essence!"
Di Shi did not even raise his head as he softly explained, "So Father gave me Emperor Essence to help me cultivate. More likely, it is a method to win over the four marquises. You also know that right now, the power of the 33 Heavens is not stable. Although there is still the title of 'Emperor', it is not the same as before when it was ruled by the Ancient Heaven. On the surface, the four marquises are loyal to my father, but in reality, they all have their own thoughts. I'm afraid that what they want is to be an Immortal King, to rule over a part of the world, to become an Immortal King of the 33 Heavens …"
He did not seem to regard Fairy Qing Luo as an outsider at all, speaking without fear. "According to reason, Father should have gathered the power of the Immortal Kings and seized the Immortal medicines that the marquises hold, truly subduing them. But now that the world has changed, the situation is unstable, and Father has no time to deal with it. He also had to seal himself, so he had no choice but to leave this matter to me. With my abilities, even with the help of the three Immortal Sovereigns, I do not have enough power to subdue the marquises of the Great Scarlet Sky. Since I cannot subdue them, then I can only entice them. If my guess is correct, then the Emperor Essence that Father left behind should be used for this purpose …"
"Since it is so precious, then you …"
Fairy Qing Luo's eyes flashed, and she could not help but ask.
"Since it will be theirs sooner or later, there is no harm in giving it to them now …"
Di Shi continued to draw. Next to the black-armored ferocious devil, he drew a man in a red cloak. The two of them were facing each other with murderous intents. "They were forced to take out so many treasures. Isn't it a painful time for them to do so? They also resent me in their hearts, but this bottle of Emperor Essence should be enough to make up for their losses, right? Haha, we should not lose out either. Their resources are still in the hands of Third Brother. When I kill Third Brother, won't these things also be in my hands? "
"You … His Highness Di Liu …"
Fairy Qing Luo's heart thumped when she heard Di Shi say that he wanted to kill Di Liu so openly.
"I am not a person who likes to waste time on these kinds of battles, so I prefer to be more direct …"
Di Shi put down the last stroke, then straightened up and looked at the painting from another angle. At the same time, he said indifferently, "According to what I know, the Immortal Commander has already persuaded the Divine Master to set a time to attack the rebel cultivators of Tian Yuan and destroy them in one fell swoop. I have also arranged my own backup plan, which should be in the near future. When the Immortal World and Divine Race armies officially attack the rebel cultivators of Tian Yuan, that will also be the time when my third brother's nonsense ends …"
He looked at the painting on the jade table, added a few more details, then nodded in satisfaction.
Then he turned to look at Qing Luo, a faint smile on his face. "This time, I will personally act!"
Fairy Qing Luo's heart thumped when she heard this …
When she looked down at the painting, she was even more shocked. The black-armored man in the painting was none other than Di Liu.
That person had a ferocious expression, and it could be said that he was exactly the same as Di Liu. However, at this moment, he was surrounded by countless gods and devils. Those gods and devils also seemed to be engaged in a fierce battle to the death, but for some reason, their fierce battle seemed to have become shackles that firmly locked Di Liu in place. Facing Di Liu, the man in the blood-colored cloak held a sword in his hand, and his sword will whistled through the sky. Although he was in the center of the painting, he exuded an air of arrogance that suppressed everything!
"Those who can enter my painting are all Fiendgods who have died by my hands. I originally wanted to create a Hundred Demons Painting, but no matter how I counted, there are only ninety-nine of them. Now that I have added my brother who is known as a demon, there are exactly a hundred demons. What do you think?"
Di Shi smiled at Fairy Qing Luo as he admired his painting.
"Very … very good …"
Fairy Qing Luo seemed to have thought of something, her face turning pale.
