A threat?
If it were anyone else, they'd definitely think they'd gone mad.
This was Heavenly God City, and Zhou Wu was the God Emperor of the entire God Race. Turning Heavenly God City into his graveyard? What a joke.
Yet, Su Qingyan was the one who'd said it. No one doubted her words.
She radiated killing intent, and her gaze was resolute.
This was no threat.
She had accumulated a grudge against God Emperor Zhou Wu for ten thousand years. During that time, she'd spent every day and night thinking about how to kill him.
But now ….
Although she'd come to find Ye Zichen, whenever she saw Zhou Wu, she couldn't suppress her hatred.
She might as well settle all her grudges right here and now.
Everyone who knew about Su Qingyan and Zhou Wu's enmity sighed inwardly. Back then, Zhou Wu had usurped the Five Elements Great Emperor's imperial fate, ascended to the throne, and was worshipped by all races. The one who truly should've been sitting on the throne was dying of depression.
Su Qingyan was his wife. How could she not be angry when she saw her husband's murderer?
No one spoke up to dissuade her. None of them could stand on the moral high ground and tell Su Qingyan to prioritize the greater good. Perhaps from the moment they'd entered the city, they'd already stood on opposite sides of Zhou Wu.
For the sake of the God Race's future, they might not fight as soon as they met.
But in the end, the rift between them was difficult to mend.
They'd be enemies in the future. If Zhou Wu was determined to stand in their way, they wouldn't mind bringing their battle forward.
"Qingyan, it's been ten thousand years. I never would've guessed you still hate me so much." Zhou Wu shook his head.
"Three!"
"Five Elements, he's not destined to become emperor. This is his fate. If he'd entered the Time Corridor before I did, the throne would've naturally been his. No wonder …. "
"Two!"
As Su Qingyan counted down, her aura grew stronger and stronger.
The entire city seemed to be enveloped in dark clouds. Countless Heavenly God City cultivators shuddered in fear.
"Hah ….."
When he saw that Su Qingyan didn't want to talk at all, Zhou Wu shook his head and laughed. His imperial robes rustled, and his gaze subtly shifted to the others.
At the same time, the Divine Arbiter whispered into Zhou Wu's ear.
Outsiders had no way of knowing what kind of conversation they had, but the smile in Zhou Wu's eyes grew brighter as he slowly took a step back to make way.
Su Qingyan, who was on the verge of exploding, forcibly suppressed her anger. She glanced at Zhou Wu, who had stepped aside, and brushed past him.
"Everyone, please wait."
After taking a few steps, God Emperor Zhou Wu called out to them again.
Su Qingyan's aura instantly erupted. She didn't turn around, but nine snow-white tails appeared behind her. A biting cold snowstorm suddenly appeared in Heavenly God City. In the blink of an eye, all the buildings in the city were covered in a thick layer of snow.
The instant the blizzard appeared, the Divine Arbiter took a step forward.
A strange fluctuation swept past her and Divine Emperor Zhou Wu's surroundings. The space they were in was completely cut apart. There was no snowstorm around them at all.
Xuan Ji, Xue Yang, the Zhao sisters, and Bi 'an all frowned at the same time.
"Don't be angry, I never thought of stopping you. I'm just worried about something, and I'd like to verify it with you. If you can dispel my doubts, I can share some useful information with you. "
Zhou Wu smiled amiably. No one said anything to him, so he just kept talking.
"Who exactly is that youth called Ye Zichen? Is he worth all of you …."
"What does that have to do with you?"
Su Qingyan turned around, her eyes shining like sapphires.
The blizzard continued to howl. Quite a few buildings had already been buried beneath it. The Profound Pavilion's cultivators took to the air, gathered in groups of two or three, and used their divine power to support a barrier to ensure their safety.
When the Profound Pavilion's cultivators released their divine power, they were like stars in the sky.
The light of the barrier illuminated Heavenly God City. Zhou Wu saw it all out of the corner of his eye. When he sensed Su Qingyan's killing intent, he smiled silently and gestured for them to leave.
His meaning was clear: he no longer wanted to verify his suspicions. He wanted them to leave.
"Let's go."
When Xuan Ji and the others heard this, they turned around. Su Qingyan, who had already sprouted her nine tails, stared at Zhou Wu. She gnashed her teeth, unwilling to move.
Zhao Qianhe and Zhao Qianling moved to her left and right respectively and tugged at her forcefully a few times.
The others were also communicating with their divine senses, telling him to leave.
"Wu Xing, I will avenge you in the future."
Gritting their teeth, they turned around and disappeared from the God Emperor's estate.
…
After leaving the God Emperor's estate, Xuan Ji and the others continued on their way to the Bai Family branch. God Emperor Zhou Wu's appearance was nothing more than a minor interlude. They hadn't wasted too much time.
"The Divine Arbiter by the God Emperor's side has most likely condensed a Dao Heart for the Great Dao of Space."
Along the way, Xue Yang thought back to the Divine Arbiter's step and transmitted to the others.
The others slightly nodded their heads. Their furrowed brows earlier had also sensed that she was extraordinary at that step. It was also possible to condense a Dao-heart.
"Condensing a Dao Heart is equivalent to an Imperial Lord. The Spatial Dao is a Great Dao among the 3,000 Dao Arts. It cannot be underestimated."
"Overlord" was the recognition of one's strength. It was a general term.
Emperors, Imperial Lords, and Imperial Lords. This was how emperors divided their strength.
Emperors were the highest, while imperial lords were the lowest.
Imperial lords were the god race's title. Most of them were high-level sovereigns, on the same level as Demon Gods and Yao Kings.
The next level was Imperial Lords. They had condensed a Dao-heart on top of the imperial lord's foundation.
Xuan Ji, Xue Yang, and Xiao Ting were all imperial lords. Although Bi 'an was astonishingly talented, powerful, and had a godhead by his side, he was still only an imperial lord. He was only infinitely close to becoming an emperor.
Imperial lords!
That was the highest rank a title could bestow. They had condensed more than one Dao-heart, and were infinitely close to the peak of the Ruler Realm. The God, Yao, and Demon Emperors were all at this level.
"A great enemy in the future," said Bi 'an.
Everyone acknowledged the Divine Arbiter's strength. However, as she led the way, Xuan Ji's gaze darkened.
She'd heard from her subordinates that Ye Zichen had mobilized an enormous force.
They weren't far from the Bai Family branch, but even now, she sensed no signs of battle. After encountering God Emperor Zhou Wu, she no longer worried about her divine sense being captured ….
Logically speaking, with so many people around, it should be easy to find them.
But she couldn't find them at all!
Her subordinates had been ordered not to approach the Bai Family's vicinity. Otherwise, she'd be able to get some information from them.
Although she had her misgivings, since she was already here, she might as well take a look around.
Until ….
"No!"
When Xuan Ji and the others arrived at the Bai Family branch, there was no sign of the vast army Hu Bazi had told them about. There was no one in sight.
