387: How come everyone is missing now and there are a few more emperors?
“You reminded me; indeed, it can’t be like this…”
After a moment of stunned silence, Xiao Chen's lips curled into an arc as he looked down at the city below.
He then softly instructed Sky Evil.
“Since the friends from the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce feel that this This Young Master’s actions are unfair, let’s treat everyone the same.”
“Have the people below also hand over a portion of resources; consider it their reward.”
“Of course, for ordinary cultivators, just a little bit is fine.”
“But for those cultivators above the Saint Realm, hmm… just leave them their underwear.”
Hearing Xiao Chen’s words, Liu Ying and the others were stunned.
They hadn't expected Xiao Chen to be so straightforward.
After Liu Yan protested, he actually wanted to extort everyone?!
If those people found out that they were all exploited because of this guy Liu Yan's loose tongue.
They would probably want to swallow Liu Yan alive.
“This old servant understands!”
After hearing Xiao Chen's words, Sky Evil also showed a look of excitement on his face.
The next moment, he turned and looked down at Huanxin City below, his Emperor Lord might sweeping out like a storm.
“Hehehe, everyone in Huanxin City listen up!”
“Just now, a demon wanted to perform a blood sacrifice on the city, but our Demon Lord was merciful and ordered us few to save you.”
“Now that the calamity is over, you have survived.”
“Those who are sensible, honestly hand over a portion of resources as payment for your survival this time.”
“Those who are not sensible, this Lord doesn’t mind sending you to reunite with that demon!”
Whoosh!!
Almost immediately after these words fell, Huanxin City completely exploded.
Many cultivators raised their heads with incredulous looks.
They clearly hadn't expected this.
They had just escaped the tiger’s den, only to fall into the wolf’s lair immediately after.
Extorting them, the weak, without any bottom line like this, these few Emperor Realm Experts must have gone mad with poverty, right?!
“Demon, how dare you?!!”
And just as Sky Evil's demonic might enveloped the entire Huanxin City, the vast void suddenly changed, and an ancient voice exploded like thunder.
A figure carrying monstrous malevolence instantly descended into this void.
This caused many cultivators in Huanxin City to look startled.
Could it be that an Emperor Realm Expert couldn't stand this behavior and planned to step in to help them escape the threat?!
“Great-Ancestor Grandpa, stop, they are not enemies!!”
Just as that figure, carrying terrifying pressure, suppressed towards Xiao Chen and his group.
Liu Yanfei also recognized the newcomer and immediately shouted loudly at this moment.
This person.
Was precisely the Liu Family's Ancestor, Liu Qingtian.
A terrifying existence whose cultivation had reached the Emperor Lord, and also the highest authority of the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce.
He was a well-known expert within the Xuantian Realm.
“Not enemies?”
Hearing Liu Yanfei’s words, Liu Qingtian appeared in the void, looking at Xiao Chen and Liu Yanfei’s group with surprise.
He remembered…
Didn’t the Blood Jade Demon Lord want to annihilate everyone in Huanxin City just now?
Why are the people gone now, and a few more Emperor Lords have appeared?!
“The situation just now was extremely critical. Fortunately, this Gongzi and his friends helped us, allowing us to survive under the Blood-Faced Demon Lord.”
Seeing Liu Qingtian's face filled with uncertainty, Liu Yanfei quickly opened her mouth to explain.
This made Liu Qingtian's face change in surprise.
He had thought that this time, he wouldn't make it in time for support and could only collect the bodies of Liu Yanfei and the others and seek revenge.
He hadn't expected that after his projection was shattered, Liu Yanfei and the others would actually be saved by others.
This was a great fortune within misfortune.
“Then where is the Blood-Faced Demon Lord?”
Feeling somewhat surprised internally, Liu Qingtian quickly asked another question.
This demon.
Was an expert in the top ten of the Heavenly Sin List.
Now he actually wanted to destroy a branch of the Liu Family; he couldn't let the other party leave easily.
Otherwise.
The Wanbao Chamber of Commerce would never have peace!
“The Blood-Faced Demon Lord has already been killed by Gongzi and his group…”
Hearing this, Liu Yanfei answered truthfully.
“Wh- What?!”
“The Blood-Faced Demon Lord was killed?!”
Hearing Liu Yanfei’s words, Liu Qingtian’s face changed drastically.
He looked at Xiao Chen and the others with disbelief.
The Blood-Faced Demon Lord.
At his peak, he was an existence who had broken through to the Emperor Lord. Even if his cultivation had fallen after being severely injured by several Great Emperors later.
He still had the cultivation of the Emperor Lord (5th Level) now.
And from the incident occurring until his arrival, it hadn't even been thirty breaths.
This great demon, renowned throughout the Eastern Region, was actually killed by someone?!
Isn't that too absurd?!
As this thought fell, Liu Qingtian sized up Xiao Chen and his group, and then his pupils couldn't help but contract.
“You are… Tian Xingjian, the Sect Master of the Great Wilderness Sect from the Cangxuan Realm?!”
At first glance at Tian Xingjian, Liu Qingtian immediately recognized the other party.
If he remembered correctly.
Fifty-eight years ago, they had met once; he hadn't expected to meet again now.
“President Liu has a good memory.”
“I didn't expect that you would still remember my trip to the Xuantian Realm fifty-eight years ago.”
Hearing this, Tian Xingjian smiled faintly but didn't exchange too many pleasantries.
Hearing this, Liu Qingtian also looked at the others, but he didn't recognize Jiang Li or Sky Evil.
But after seeing Liu Ruoxian.
Liu Qingtian's pupils suddenly contracted, and a look of shock appeared on his face.
“It's… you?!”
More than four hundred years ago.
He entered the Hundred Beast Mountain Range, intending to capture a Herb and Wood Spirit to see if he could advance his cultivation further.
Unexpectedly, Liu Ruoxian detected him, and she charged out from the depths of the Hundred Beast Mountain Range.
In less than ten rounds, she injured him.
Forcing him to flee in embarrassment.
Fortunately, Liu Ruoxian didn't pursue him at the time, otherwise, even if he didn't die, he would have been severely injured.
And because of this matter.
For nearly a hundred years after that, he dared not step into the Hundred Beast Mountain Range to seek treasure, just fearing being severely beaten by Liu Ruoxian again.
But he hadn't expected…
More than three hundred years ago, a shocking battle occurred in the Hundred Beast Mountain Range, and God Willow was rumored to have fallen.
This made him feel a bit regretful.
After all, the other party was not only a peerless Empress but also a rare Ten Thousand Year Herb and Wood Spirit in the world.
But now.
He actually saw this existence again, and the other party was completely unharmed, showing no signs of weakness whatsoever.
“Great-Ancestor Grandpa, do you know Gongzi and his group?”
Seeing Liu Qingtian's face as if he had seen a ghost, Liu Yanfei asked somewhat curiously at this moment.
“We’ve met a few times…”
Hearing Liu Yanfei’s words.
And seeing Liu Ruoxian’s calm eyes, Liu Qingtian said with a complicated expression as he composed himself.
Although he didn't know.
Why Liu Ruoxian hadn't died, but seeing her appearance now, she no longer cared about the events of that year.
Coupled with the presence of several Great Emperor Realm Experts before him, he didn't dare to casually mention some things again, lest a conflict occur among the group.
“This old man, Liu Qingtian, thanks you few for your assistance.”
“If you don’t mind, come and sit at the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce later, and this old man will personally brew tea for you.”
As this thought fell, Liu Qingtian cupped his fists and said.
After speaking, Liu Qingtian seemed to remember something and said with some doubt at this moment.
“Since the Blood-Faced Demon Lord has already been killed by you few, why were you acting as if facing a formidable enemy just now?”
After his voice fell.
Liu Qingtian's expression became somewhat solemn.
Among these few people, there was one man and one woman, both with monstrous demonic energy, clearly experts of the demonic path.
Could it be that these people also intend to harm the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce?
“Ancestor, they not only extorted us, but also plan to extort everyone in Huanxin City.”
After Liu Qingtian's voice fell, Liu Yan behind him gritted his teeth and explained to the former via sound transmission.
This made Liu Qingtian's expression change involuntarily.
