The Return of the Blue Emperor

Looking at Fire Feather's firm, unyielding expression and the sincere gazes of everyone present.

Ye Chen knew that if he continued to decline, it would seem hypocritical, so he nodded and said, "Alright then, I won't stand on ceremony."

"No need to be polite. You are the Alliance Leader, you are the boss, so naturally, all resources should be prioritized for you."

"Exactly. You are the one who will lead us to the Peak. If your Rank is low and your strength is weak, we will be looked down upon and bullied by others, won't we?"

Everyone laughed and joked.

Ye Chen was a bit conflicted now; these two hundred thousand plus experience points were enough to raise Alchemist and Dark Ji to Level 15.

It would be a qualitative leap, and his own bonuses would also increase significantly, but it was also enough to bring Blood Asura to Level 19.

For a moment, Ye Chen fell into deep thought.

If he used them on Dark Ji and Alchemist, but didn't utilize both of them, there wasn't much point in leveling them up.

If he did utilize both of them, it would expose the fact that he possessed three pets.

This was his trump card; if exposed too early, it would do him no good and would certainly cause a sensation.

He would also face a lot of unnecessary trouble.

After thinking it over, Ye Chen decided to use it on Blood Asura first; it was better to level up Alchemist and Dark Ji slowly.

First, he used 55,000 experience points on Blood Asura.

【 Blood Asura 】 Rank: LV18 Stage: Growth Phase Skill: Critical Strike Attribute: Dark Grade: Saint Grade (Tier 7) Talent: Bloodthirst (Awakening complete) Divine Artifact: None Skill: Shadow Assault (Attack bonus 10/100) Advanced Skill: Ten Shadow Slash (The pet splits into ten afterimages, identical to the main body, existing for 60s. During this time, they can be controlled by the pet and the Pet Master, gaining equipment identical to the main body, but only dealing 40% of the main body's attack damage) Combat Power: 17500 HP: 220000 Experience: 3500 / 60000

A red light burst from Blood Asura's body, and its Rank reached LV18.

This upgrade required 60,000 experience points, so Ye Chen used another 60,000 experience points.

Another red light flashed across Blood Asura's body.

【 Blood Asura 】 Rank: LV19 Stage: Growth Phase Skill: Critical Strike Attribute: Dark Grade: Saint Grade (Tier 7) Talent: Bloodthirst (Awakening complete) Divine Artifact: None Skill: Shadow Assault (Attack bonus 10/100) Advanced Skill: Ten Shadow Slash (The pet splits into ten afterimages, identical to the main body, existing for 60s. During this time, they can be controlled by the pet and the Pet Master, gaining equipment identical to the main body, but only dealing 40% of the main body's attack damage) Combat Power: 20000 HP: 245000 Experience: 3500 / 75000

Blood Asura reached LV19.

Having already used 115,000 experience points, Ye Chen still had 55,000 experience points in hand.

It seemed it wasn't enough to raise Blood Asura to LV20, but the experience points gained after killing the Azure Emperor would be enough for Blood Asura to reach LV20.

Fire Feather and the others looked at Blood Asura, which was about to reach LV20, and their faces immediately lit up with joy. They said, "Haha, that Azure Emperor is only LV18, and Brother Ye Chen is already LV19. Dealing with that Azure Emperor will be no pressure at all."

Fire Feather suddenly spoke up, "We had better be careful. The Azure Emperor has been in Qing County for so long, he must know quite a few people. I don't know who he went out to pick up this time, but I have a feeling it's not that simple."

Hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement and stopped joking around. After all, it was a battle of life and death; one moment of carelessness could lead to total destruction.

Everyone sat in the courtyard, waiting for the Azure Emperor's arrival.

Time slipped away bit by bit, and the sun slowly descended from the east to the west.

There was a touch of the setting sun in the west; the November sun dyed the dense clouds in the west red.

It looked like cotton candy set on fire.

The sky gradually darkened.

In the courtyard, the bonfire was lit, and all the surrounding lights were turned on.

Everyone understood that as time passed, the Azure Emperor was getting closer and closer to them.

At six o'clock in the evening, the sky was gradually covered by a layer of black veil.

It was going to be an overcast and rainy night later, and tonight's night sky didn't show a single star.

The full moon of the fifteenth was also shrouded by a layer of dark clouds, and the whole earth was plunged into darkness.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! The sound of the wind gradually rose, and the bonfire swayed in the wind.

Creak! The gate suddenly opened with a creak, and footsteps gradually sounded.

Ye Chen stuck his Thunderclap Blade into the ground and said in a deep voice, "They're here!"

Everyone held their breath and nodded, their pupils involuntarily contracting slightly, their eyes filled with a sharp light.

Da da, da da, da da! The footsteps grew closer and closer, and Ye Chen's gaze was fixed on the road beside the welcome wall.

First, a few shadows appeared by the bonfire, and then a few more figures emerged.

The person walking in the very front was wearing a cyan robe and glasses, looking to be about thirty-six years old.

The Azure Emperor's appearance was somewhat different from what Ye Chen had imagined.

He had expected the Azure Emperor to look fierce and vicious, but unexpectedly, he looked refined and cultured.

The Azure Emperor's features were somewhat sinister; his face was gaunt, his build was thin, and the corners of his mouth were always curled into a mocking sneer.

Beside the Azure Emperor stood a burly man, with a dozen people following behind him.

Ye Chen looked at the man beside the Azure Emperor and felt he was somewhat familiar. The man wore a cold sneer, looking at Ye Chen.

In his eyes, there was an strange glint.

The Azure Emperor wore a ring on every finger, pushed up his glasses, and smiled at Fire Feather, "Not bad, Fire Feather. I went out for a trip, and you stole my home. I always thought you were a loyal person, but it turns out you're a traitor. I'm really curious, what benefits did that person give you to make you betray the Azure Alliance?"

Fire Feather took a step forward, his heart undisturbed by the Azure Emperor's mocking words, and said righteously, "Azure Emperor, what you have done deserves to be punished by everyone. What the Azure Alliance has done is abhorred by all, and its destruction is only a matter of time. I am merely speeding up the process."

"Oh, haha, well said, 'abhorred by all'. Fire Feather, you really are righteous. Since when did you become so upright? How come I never noticed before? It's not like you were taking bribes and doing evil deeds." The Azure Emperor sneered with a cold, mirthless smile.

Fire Feather snorted coldly and said, "I had no choice before. Now, I just want to be a good person."

Clap, clap, clap! The Azure Emperor and the man beside him applauded together.

"Well said. Fire Feather, you are noble, you are amazing, you are righteous, you are a good person. We are all villains, we all deserve to die. Those people who called you Elder Fire Feather every day and swore you were their own brother, they all deserve to die too, right! You killed them with your own hands; can your conscience live with that!"
