47: Emperor

Wu Ning looked at him with cold eyes, and a wisp of Emperor's might pressed him until he couldn't straighten his back, falling to his knees beside Chu Shengkun with a thud.

“You, you…”

The bald old man's eyes widened in terror, almost popping out of their sockets.

This was Emperor's might!

He wasn't as ignorant as Chu Shengkun, who couldn't even recognize Emperor's might.

The bald old man was scared to the point of Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering, wishing he could swallow Chu Shengkun whole.

Damn it, it was fine to be arrogant on normal days, but you actually dared to provoke a Great Emperor!

Truly deserving of death!

At this moment, the scene was silent, everyone was dumbfounded.

A majestic Supreme!

Actually kneeling before someone like a dog!

This world was too crazy; they felt as if they were dreaming.

Song Yuanchen had his face smashed, and his Dao Protector was killed, igniting a raging fury in his heart, but seeing this scene, he didn't dare to utter a sound and quickly averted his gaze, fearing to attract Wu Ning's attention.

Of course, the most bewildered one was undoubtedly Chu Shengkun.

“Even Revered Master…”

“This… how is this possible?!”

“Impossible, I don't believe it!”

“This must be an illusion, break for me!”

Wu Ning frowned slightly, “Is this guy scared silly?”

Shaking his head, he slapped him, preparing to end him.

“Your Excellency, please show mercy!”

A domineering-looking Black-Robed Man appeared out of thin air.

Wu Ning's movements didn't stop, directly turning Chu Shengkun into a mist of blood, even his Soul was annihilated, dead beyond dead.

Only then did he raise his eyes to look at the appearing Black-Robed Man, merely a Peak Quasi-Emperor, not enough to bother with.

“What, you want to avenge him?”

“No.” The Black-Robed Man shook his head, then respectfully cupped his hands towards Wu Ning, “Your Excellency, Chu Shengkun deserved to die, but I hope you can spare Wanfeng Supreme's life?”

Bang!

However, as soon as his words fell, the bald old man was directly turned into a mist of blood.

“You!”

The Black-Robed Man was enraged.

Wu Ning looked at him indifferently and said, “Dare to attack this Young Master, there is only death!”

“If you want revenge, you can make your move now.”

“This humble one dares not!”

The Black-Robed Man quickly cupped his hands, his posture extremely low.

Although their Wuji Palace also had a Great Emperor in the world, that Great Emperor had already traveled through the starry sky thousands of years ago and had not returned since.

It was impossible for him to return in a short time, so at this moment, he dared not conflict with a Great Emperor.

“Your Excellency, now that Chu Shengkun and Wanfeng Supreme are dead, I hope this matter can end here and not involve innocent people.”

“Innocent?”

Wu Ning sneered, how could old monsters who had lived for countless years and killed countless people have the nerve to talk about innocence with him?

“Ending it here is impossible. Your Wuji Palace Disciple provoked this Young Master first. If it's settled so easily, where would this Young Master's dignity be?”

“If word gets out, wouldn't everyone think this Young Master is easy to bully?”

The Black-Robed Man quickly said, “Your Excellency is right, our Wuji Palace was indeed in the wrong first in this matter.”

“This humble one is willing to represent Wuji Palace and apologize to Your Excellency here. I hope Your Excellency can show leniency and not pursue this matter further.”

“You are quite sensible!”

Wu Ning's expression softened, “Forget it, this Young Master is not a bloodthirsty person and does not wish to add more slaughter. If you offer ten billion Spirit Crystals as compensation, this matter will be considered settled.”

“Ten billion Spirit Crystals?!”

The Black-Robed Man's face twitched. Where would he get so many Spirit Crystals?

Those weren't Spirit Stones, but Spirit Crystals!

A full ten billion, even if they emptied their Wuji Palace, they couldn't produce it.

“What, difficult?”

Wu Ning's tone turned slightly cold.

The Black-Robed Man gritted his teeth and said, “Your Excellency, we cannot produce ten billion Spirit Crystals, however, this humble one is willing to offer a Quasi-Emperor Weapon as compensation.”

“Its value is absolutely no less than ten billion Spirit Crystals. What do you think?”

“That works too.”

Wu Ning nodded indifferently, it seemed these Giant forces weren't that wealthy, not even having ten billion Spirit Crystals.

The Black-Robed Man took out a purple-gold bell and handed it to Wu Ning, feeling his heart bleeding.

As a Peak Quasi-Emperor, he only had two Quasi-Emperor Weapons, and now he had to give one away.

It was like digging out a piece of his heart!

Wu Ning took the bell and examined it. It was a Soul attack-type Quasi-Emperor Weapon, not bad, but useless to him.

“This Young Master will give you a chance. As long as you gather ten billion Spirit Crystals within a year, you can redeem this Quasi-Emperor Weapon.”

The Black-Robed Man's eyes lit up, “Thank you!”

Waving his hand, Wu Ning glanced at the few figures hidden in the air, then directly led Li Yuanbao and the others away.

The Black-Robed Man's expression darkened, and then he too disappeared.

Time was pressing; he still had to find a way to raise Spirit Crystals to redeem his Quasi-Emperor Weapon.

After they left, everyone at the scene let out a heavy sigh of relief.

They dared not speak much, nor dared to linger, fearing that Wuji Palace would silence them, and they all fled as if for their lives on their flying boats.

Many people still felt lingering fear.

What they saw and heard today was truly too thrilling!

It would be enough for them to brag for a hundred years when they returned.

“Your Highness…”

Behind Song Yuanchen, several young men and women looked at him cautiously.

“Go, let's leave here first.”

Song Yuanchen's face was grim, and a hint of killing intent flashed in his eyes as he looked at them.

These people had seen his most pathetic moment; they couldn't be kept alive!

Recalling the recent experience, boundless fury surged into his heart again, distorting his face, making his eyes venomous, and half his face a bloody mess, looking like a vengeful ghost.

The golden warship quickly disappeared into the sky.

Outside Wuji Palace, several figures revealed themselves.

They were all powerhouses from the Hundred Refinements Holy Land and the Red Dust Holy Sect, and at this moment, they were extremely silent.

“What should we do next?”

A white-bearded old man broke the silence.

“What else can we do? Even Wuji Palace has admitted defeat. Such an existence is not something we can provoke. Prepare to visit and apologize.”

“Sigh, that's all we can do.”

…

On the other side.

“Boss, you were so domineering just now!”

Li Yuanbao's face was full of excitement, his eyes filled with adoration and longing.

“If only I could be as domineering as you, Boss, someday.”

“No, even a ten-thousandth of your domineeringness, Boss, would satisfy me.”

Wu Ning smiled faintly, “That's not difficult. As long as you Cultivate your cultivation to the Great Emperor Realm, you can be like me just now.”

Li Yuanbao's face fell.

He had just Breakthrough to the Fa Xiang Realm. With his talent, reaching the Great Emperor Realm would probably take another lifetime, right?

Xu Ziqian couldn't help but sigh, “Brother Wu, you are still under twenty. You should be the youngest Great Emperor in ancient and modern times, right?”

“Perhaps.”

Wu Ning looked up at the sky and said leisurely, “But you must know, there are always people beyond people, and heavens beyond heavens. The Great Emperor is merely the Peak of the Mortal World Dao; above it, there is a vaster world…”
