Was this really necessary?
The normally awe-inspiring great emperors were now flustered and exasperated.
When Ye Zichen saw the angry messages flooding the chat, he wondered if the great emperors had used some sort of divine ability to create three heads and six arms and flood the chat.
Their scrolling frequency was even greater than that of a hundred thousand trolls.
In truth, Ye Zichen had mentally prepared himself for Xuan-Yuan Xiang's earlier words. He'd thought at most two would be enough, but who would've guessed that only the Sea Emperor, who was busy with official business, and the Hermit Emperor, who'd long since retired from worldly affairs?
The others ….
She silently wiped away the cold sweat on her face, then craned her neck to look at the messages. She pursed her lips and arched her elegant brows.
The results were more or less the same as she'd expected. There were just too few people in the group.
If she brought a few more major powers in, the group might get even livelier.
This couldn't go on.
When he saw that the great emperors were on the verge of exploding, Ye Zichen hurriedly sent a message.
Only Idealism: Great Emperors, please calm down. (A line of cold sweat emojis)
Only Idealism: Don't get so angry just because you mention the Venerable of Numinous Treasure. Actually, the Venerable of Numinous Treasure and I ….
Ye Zichen didn't know how to explain, so he used ellipses. The Venerable of Numinous Treasure had been imprisoned by Xue Yang for ten thousand years. The other great emperors had no idea, so how could Ye Zichen possibly know?
A chance encounter?
Or perhaps a mere hearsay?
Judging by the great emperors' expressions, even the slightest movement from the Venerable of Numinous Treasure wouldn't escape their ears.
Furthermore ….
It'd been ten thousand years, yet the great emperors hadn't known the Venerable of Numinous Treasure was with the Ocean Emperor. He was definitely hiding it.
Perhaps he was worried that the great emperors would find out the Venerable of Numinous Treasure was with him.
They'd probably destroy the Xue Family's dungeons!
More importantly, he was worried that the Demon Emperor's identity would be exposed. The Ocean Emperor's clone had said that if others found out, the Xue Family might be labeled traitors.
The great emperors in the group were all smart. Ye Zichen's current cover was utterly useless against them. The instant he sent the message, he received over ninety-nine @ s, all of them questioning him about the Venerable of Numinous Treasure's whereabouts.
After a long period of fruitless questioning, the news of the Venerable Lingbao seemed to have become a huge trade fair.
Jade Lake Palace Master: Only Idealism, Alliance Leader Ye, tell me about the Venerable of Ling Bao. You can choose any divine-grade elixir!
Lord Seven: Two Heavenly Fortune Pills.
Third Elder: Four Divine Artifacts on the Divine Artifact Ranking!
Fox Empress: We, the Fox Clan, are willing to offer three Fox Senses.
Grandpa Seven: Empress of the Fox Clan, are you kidding me? You even dare to give out the Will of the Fox? Isn't that a sacred item left behind by your Fox Ancestor? Since you dare to act like this, don't force me to use my ultimate move!
Seventh Master: Only Idealism. Star Lord Ye, let's not beat around the bush. If you want to marry Little Seventeen, you have to go through me. Do you understand?
Jade Lake Palace Master: Star Lord Ye, what do you think of Mo 'er?
Fox Empress: Su Yan is a member of the Fox Clan!
Elder San: What's going on? You're trying to be a matchmaker, aren't you? Alright, since you guys are like this …
Third Elder: Only Idealism, this emperor has an adopted daughter …
？？？
Ye Zichen was completely confused!
Earlier, when he'd read about the treasures the great emperors were talking about, he'd been tempted.
Divine-grade pills, Heavenly Fortune Pills, divine artifacts on the Divine Artifact Rankings, and Great Emperor Bi 'an's Fox Senses, which he'd never heard of before.
He'd used these treasures in exchange for information he didn't know was real or fake.
But now ….
The trade fair had transformed into a marriage proposal meeting and a threat meeting. Great Emperor Chao Feng was the matchmaker! Coincidentally, these great emperors all had women who were very important to him.
Xue Mo and the others were brothers, but Su Yan and Liu Jing ….
"Wow, what's going on with these great emperors?" Pu Jingwan couldn't help but blink at the messages in the group. "What on earth did the Venerable of Numinous Treasure do to them for them to act like this?"
"Don't be fooled by that toad's current appearance. Ten thousand years ago …."
Xuan-Yuan Xiang laughed calmly, her eyes twinkling with amusement.
"He stole who knows how many great emperors' divine artifacts and swallowed them. Do you know why he's currently locked up in the Sea of Innocence's dungeons?"
"Why?" Pu Jingwan glared at her.
"The Ocean Emperor's divine artifacts are the Sea God Crown, Sea God Scepter, and Sea God Ring. Do you know why the Ocean Emperor no longer wears the Sea God Ring?"
"Could it be …." "He swallowed it?" Xuan-Yuan Xiang shrugged. "Back then, the Ocean Emperor chased that toad for over half a year, but the toad somehow obtained a defensive divine artifact. Even in the sea, the Ocean Emperor's scepter couldn't break through it in the slightest. The two of them confronted each other for a few hundred years.
I don't know, but I'm guessing he couldn't stand living like a turtle any longer, so he admitted defeat to the Ocean Emperor. "
"That …."
Even Ye Zichen was flabbergasted. This Venerable of Numinous Treasure was too ruthless! He'd even dared swallow a divine artifact! If he were the Ocean Emperor, he'd definitely fly into a rage!
He'd swallowed one of the three God-Sealing Treasures!
"I remember him trying to swallow the Yao-Sealing Pagoda, and the Five Elements Great Emperor beat him up countless times. But his memory just doesn't change. He followed the Five Elements Great Emperor for a few hundred years," said Xuan-Yuan Xiang.
"No wonder!"
Ye Zichen nodded. No wonder he knew so much about the Five Elements Great Emperor and Zhou Wu. No wonder he'd reacted that way when he saw the Yao-Sealing Pagoda.
Perhaps he'd swallowed it before, but hadn't digested it.
The group's @'s weren't done yet, but at that moment ….
Dingdong.
Ye Zichen's phone vibrated. He looked at it and saw several notifications.
After exiting the group, he saw that it was the Ocean Sovereign who had sent him the pinned message.
Ocean Emperor: Don't cause trouble!
Ocean Emperor: I'm telling you, don't cause trouble. You'd best explain everything to me!
Ocean Emperor: You know who's in the dungeons. If they find out and tear down my dungeons, the Xue Family won't let you off the hook.
Ocean Emperor: Don't forget, Honghong is my daughter!
Ocean Emperor: Don't cause trouble, alright?
Ye Zichen understood the Ocean Emperor's worries, and he naturally understood the current situation. He absolutely couldn't expose the Venerable of Numinous Treasure's position.
Even if he did, he couldn't reveal that the Venerable of Numinous Treasure was currently in the Xue Family dungeons.
He couldn't reveal the old Demon Emperor's existence just yet!
"Don't worry, I definitely won't let ….."
Ye Zichen hadn't even finished typing the message, when he saw the Ocean Emperor fly into a rage. "What the hell are you talking about?"
"Look at what you've done!"
At the same time, a frantic figure flashed through the sky.
When he looked up, he saw the Ocean Emperor's clone, who'd just gone to take care of business. The clone's brows were furrowed, and he looked at Ye Zichen angrily, but he couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.
