Free Web NovelChapter 1641: Chapter 1624: Qing Wu Breaks Off
No one could have anticipated that after Emperor Xiao quelled the Dark Turmoil, such an enormous crisis would still be lurking within True Spirit Continent.
The battle between Emperor Xiao and the Heavenly Emperor, regardless of its outcome, might just be another beginning of a crisis even more terrifying than the Dark Turmoil.
The invincible might of the Cang Clan Patriarch appearing in the world was almost like a Great Emperor personally descending, directly enveloping the entire True Spirit Continent, so powerful that it brought despair and forced even the greatest heroes and Heavenly Prides to give way.
It could be said that if the Cang Clan Patriarch so wished, he could easily rule the whole True Spirit Continent, unmatched in this world, and invincible under heaven!
Martial Artists who overheard the Cang Clan Patriarch speaking with the Four Emperors all knew that he was a terrifying powerhouse in the Martial Arts Realm, comparable to a Great Emperor. Although he hadn’t completely claimed the title of emperor, he was close, certainly to be remembered in history, as none except a Great Emperor could challenge him.
And the Four Emperors of the Human Race, whose fame ran through ten thousand years of martial arts history on True Spirit Continent, not only had they not fallen, but they appeared together, silently guarding the human Martial Artists of True Spirit Continent, just like in the Ancient Era!
The concurrent appearance of the Human Race Four Emperors drew the Cang Clan Patriarch and the Heavenly Emperor into a battlefield of unfathomable depth, and though they could not witness the battle, the result was self-evident: surely everything could be pacified.
The outcome was exhilarating!
"It’s over, everything is over, the turbulent period of blood and tears is finally completely over."
"No matter what kind of turmoil lies ahead, with the Human Race Four Emperors watching over, our True Spirit Continent will never be harmed again."
"Thank Heaven; after the catastrophe, we are still alive."
"Thank the Four Emperors for protecting us; your contributions to True Spirit Continent we will remember for generations!"
...
Cheers resounded from all corners of True Spirit Continent, each one excited to the extreme; surviving truly wasn’t easy.
All the Martial Artists, having lived through the disaster, were breathing heavily, completely venting their suppressed emotions, shouting with all their might, and appreciating the preciousness of life.
During the years cloaked by the Dark Turmoil, they had lost too much and learned to cherish.
If another more terrible turmoil erupted, how many among them could survive? No one would want to face such a situation.
This feeling of survival after calamity is not something others can truly understand.
They had many questions they wished to ask the Four Emperors upon meeting them, but unfortunately, the Human Race Four Emperors came quickly and left even quicker, leaving no opportunity for them to have an audience.
As the cheering and excitement faded, people gradually calmed down and directed complex looks towards the Wuji Sect.
Especially those Martial Artists who had once opposed Xiao Ye, their hearts trembled, and cold sweat dripped from their backs.
All has been revealed; Xiao Ye... turned out to be the shared disciple of the Human Race Four Emperors!
Even the Absolute Emperor’s Son, the Invincible Emperor’s Son, Dongfang Huoqing, and others who had competed with Xiao Ye in the same era were shockingly awe-struck, mixing admiration and reverence in their attitude towards Xiao Ye.
How could the background and supporters of figures like the Four Great Emperor’s Sons, Ultimate Palace Young Palace Master, compare to Xiao Ye?
Before the Human Race Four Emperors, all is clouds!
If Xiao Ye had revealed such a background at that time, who in the True Spirit Continent would have dared to touch him?
Nonetheless, Xiao Ye did not do so but instead relied on his own strength to sweep away all great enemies, ultimately reaching this era’s Peak Level, respected by the world!
How could this not earn admiration?
In the minds of the Martial Artists on True Spirit Continent, the status of the Wuji Sect soared to an unprecedented height.
Because supporting Wuji Sect are the Human Race Four Emperors!
If Xiao Ye claims the title of emperor in this era, it would be a sect having Five Emperors, unprecedented indeed.
While all regions of True Spirit Continent were still reeling with shock, the atmosphere in Wuji City was considerably warm.
Because Wuji Sect received a distinguished guest, returning with the crowd, and Xiao Ye personally appeared to welcome the guest into the main hall, waiting for the Emperor to reappear.
Within the city of Wuji Sect, mischievous looks were cast towards the direction of the main hall.
"Hehe, that girl just now was really beautiful, almost comparable to the Sect Leader’s wife, and I felt her gazing at the Sect Leader with a very peculiar look."
"Don’t talk nonsense; be careful if the Sect Leader’s wife hears you, she’ll suppress you!"
"What’s the big deal? Our Sect Leader is the future Great Emperor; what woman on earth wouldn’t admire him?"
"I think that girl is pretty good; I suggest the Sect Leader marry her, hahaha!"
...
"Qing Wu, I never imagined I would see you again."
In the main hall of Wuji Mansion, Xiao Ye’s long hair draped down as he quietly gazed at a graceful woman in a green dress before him, his face full of emotion.
This woman, with cascading hair and flawless, exquisite features, was incredibly beautiful, her skin like snow. It was Qing Wu, the captain of the Dragon Hunting Team he met upon first arriving at True Spirit Continent in the Genius Camp of Xingyun Kingdom.
She was also the younger sister of Nangong Xingyu, possessing good aptitude and had once aided him considerably.
Since the Dynasty Battle, he hadn’t seen her again, nor had Nangong Xingyu mentioned her further. Only heard that she too had come to Central State.
Unexpectedly, after years apart, he could see Qing Wu once more.
Yet now, the mischievous sparkle in Qing Wu’s eyes was gone, replaced by much more stability. The once playful and charming girl seemed to have grown, though Xiao Ye was unsure what she had experienced, leaving him a bit nostalgic.
Time passes; old friends change.
"Xiao Ye."
"Back then, my brother and I left Iron Blood Emperor Domain, wandering the world, living by each other’s side, yet I never felt lonely; instead, it was very warm."
"With my brother, I could be reckless and capricious, as he would ultimately clean up my mess."
"Now, I have no brother anymore..."
At this moment, her face was sorrowful, her beautiful eyes red, deeply grieved while reminiscing.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ye felt silent, momentarily unsure of how to console her.
Nangong Xingyu’s physical body had been controlled by the Heavenly Emperor, and later was drawn into the immense battlefield by the Human Race Four Emperors, ultimately bound to fall.
This was an unchangeable fact.
The blame could only be placed on Nangong Xingyu for choosing the wrong path.
"Xiao Ye, I originally hoped my brother would have his peak battle with you, to fulfill his wish, hence did not intervene. I never imagined you would draw the Human Race Four Emperors."
"My brother walked this path, though he was not wronged by you, asking me not to blame you is something I cannot do because he was my brother."
Qing Wu suddenly stopped crying, and her tears evaporated. She looked at Xiao Ye, the gentle glint in her eyes shattered, replaced by coldness.
"I came to see you today to tell you that when we meet again along the road, we will be strangers."
Finished speaking, Qing Wu rose, turned, and left the main hall, vanishing into the vast sky horizon.
Xiao Ye watched Qing Wu’s disappearing figure, helplessly sighing.
"When we meet again along the road... what does this mean?"
