Chapter 616: The Holy Emperor Does Not Uphold Martial Morality
On the battlefield, wind and thunder raged.
Xi Daoren and the others all retreated. As Lin Ying fled, she kept looking back at that domineering young figure, her heart beating faster and faster.
Only Chi Xiao didn't leave. Standing next to Chen Futu, he felt his hands and feet were ice-cold. This was indeed a spatial rule that could really kill a quasi-emperor. Fortunately, he was not within its range.
"Your Majesty, let's talk this out!" Tianyang was so frightened that he could barely speak, and he smiled obsequiously like a grandson.
Who would have thought that the Holy Emperor himself would be so ruthless, willing to kill them at the slightest disagreement? They were quasi-emperors, after all; they had no dignity!
"Yes, Your Majesty, we can sit down and talk slowly. You can make any requests you may have."
Blood Fang went numb.
Don't negotiations usually start with a war of words? This kid isn't giving us any way out; he just goes straight for the kill!
Seeing the two panicked quasi-emperors, the Saintly Path experts from various forces felt as if they had fallen into an ice cave. "Holy Emperor, spare our lives! We dare not do it again!"
"We beg Your Majesty to give us a chance! We are willing to serve you like cattle and horses!"
"Just ask, and we're willing to give you any resources!"
They wailed and begged for mercy, but before the attack could even land, some saints were reduced to ashes under the cover of the Emperor's Law.
The scene was so terrifying that the spectators felt their spines tingle, while the timid ones collapsed to the ground, their limbs powerless.
Chen Futu looked down at the powerful figures from various forces who were begging for mercy and said calmly, "I gave you a chance before, but you didn't cherish it. Now that you find that you can't beat them, you bow down and beg for mercy. There's no such thing as a free lunch in this world."
"No!"
"Holy Emperor, spare my life!"
……
"By the way, I have something else to tell you. Today's great battle was only to have you all contribute to overturning the mountains and finding the remnants of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion. Now that the work is done, you can set off."
"Chen Futu, you will die a horrible death!"
"I hate it—"
Many powerful figures cried out in grief, their eyes wide with rage.
It turns out that the Holy Emperor treated them as laborers digging mountains, and now that the work is done, he's discarding them like used grain.
"A calamity from the heavens."
Chen Futu waved his hand expressionlessly to suppress it.
Buzz!
The golden ring in the sky suddenly compressed, and the next second, the violent golden spatial power burst forth like an air cannon, instantly shattering everyone within the ring's range. The two quasi-emperors managed to hold on for a breath before reluctantly disappearing.
Thus, the two quasi-emperors were defeated and perished, and the heavens wept blood.
This is the power of the supreme imperial way.
When the dust settled, the world returned to its desolate state, with only the lingering echoes of the imperial way still resonating.
At this moment, everyone, including the powerful figures from Zilu Academy and the auction house, was filled with fear and awe towards Chen Futu.
The Holy Emperor's bloodthirstiness and ruthlessness challenged their worldview. Those were two quasi-emperors, whom he killed without hesitation, as easily as crushing two ants.
Having cultivated for so many years, it all vanished in an instant. The powerful figures present felt a sense of shared sorrow, like the death of a rabbit among rabbits.
Of course, the one who felt it the most was Chi Xiao. As a quasi-emperor, he watched helplessly as two powerful figures of similar strength turned into ashes. The visual impact affected his mental world, and the fear made him feel like he had thorns in his back, filled with anxiety.
"Your master is too ruthless."
Wang Fugui tugged at Qin Hao's clothes blankly. Qin Hao shook his head and said, "Master said that being merciful to the enemy is being cruel to oneself. Those people have attacked us time and time again. What do you think the consequences would be if we let two quasi-emperors go?"
"Ah this..."
Wang Fugui was speechless, and Xue Wu and Fang Yuan, who also heard these words, fell silent as well.
If the Quasi-Emperor were to seek revenge, the Purple Dew Academy would be wiped out in an instant. Just thinking about it sends chills down my spine. Therefore, the Holy Emperor did the right thing. Since he had taken action, he had to leave no hidden dangers behind.
"That's right, how can we be so hesitant when doing things? You're all just being too soft-hearted."
Hua Hua suddenly appeared out of nowhere, holding a chicken leg in her hand. "If the Holy Emperor doesn't kill them today, these forces will surely retaliate after we leave. You are too inexperienced and too kind-hearted, which will eventually harm you."
"Alright, since we've already killed them, let's just end it all."
Wang Fugui stopped thinking about it and the group excitedly went to Chen Futu's side.
Xi Daoren, Wang Qianshan, and others also gathered around.
The last time the Holy Emperor left in a hurry, they didn't even have time to say a few words.
Seeing everyone's excited expressions, Chen Futu smiled and said, "I plan to stay in the Northern Region for two days."
"Hehe, we'd love to welcome you."
Wang Qianshan was somewhat intimidated by the Holy Emperor's true form and dared not call him a "little brat" anymore.
Next, Chen Futu gave Chi Xiao an order: "You take your men and go to the Northwest in person to disband their sects and plunder all their resources to hand over to the Bright Moon Auction House."
"Me?" Chi Xiao subconsciously shook his head and said, "I said beforehand that I wouldn't take the initiative to attack, I would only protect you, and..."
"Hmm?" Chen Futu narrowed his eyes, his voice heavy with nasal tone, leaving no room for doubt.
Chi Xiao shuddered and said sullenly, "Well, actually going out for a walk isn't a big deal. I'm just tired of staying here anyway."
He chickened out, not wanting to take the Emperor's attack contained within a purple card.
Seeing his aggrieved look, everyone wanted to laugh but dared not.
"Miss Lin, please send someone to follow up and take inventory of the assets of those forces. If there is anything I can use, send it to me."
Chen Futu spoke up, and Lin Ying immediately agreed, dispatching the Great Sage and several Holy Kings to accompany Chi Xiao on their journey.
Left with no other choice, Chi Xiao had to set off immediately.
Who could imagine that a quasi-emperor would act like a doormat in front of the Holy Emperor?
It's estimated that only Chen Futu and powerful emperors would dare to order a quasi-emperor to do things like this.
Soon the group landed in the extremely dilapidated Feixia Mountain.
Now, apart from them, no one else dares to approach Feixia Mountain, for fear of provoking the Holy Emperor and dying without even knowing how. Moreover, it won't be long before the news of the two quasi-emperors' deaths spreads.
In just one year since the Holy Emperor arrived in the Northern Region, he has already killed four Quasi-Emperors. It is estimated that no Quasi-Emperor will dare to provoke the Holy Emperor again.
"Let's search around; the hidden traces of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion will probably appear."
Chen Futu gave the order, and Xi Daoren immediately arranged for people to search.
Qin Hao and Wang Fugui also went to look for him, leaving only Lin Ying and Hua Hua who had come up to him with Chen Futu.
Hua Hua wasn't as flustered as Lin Ying. She circled around Chen Futu, her big eyes and ears blinking, "Hey, where's Xiao Bai?"
Chen Futu asked, "You really like that girl?"
"Yes, the buns in her little pot are so delicious, I haven't had enough yet." Hua Hua likes to make friends. Xiao Bai is about the same age as her and they have similar interests. She would be so happy if Xiao Bai came to the Northern Region.
Chen Futu thought for a moment and said, "When Xiaobai comes to the Northern Region in the future, and you cause trouble, if you can find any traces left by the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, I can have Xiaobai set off from Lizhou immediately."
"You said it yourself, so you can't go back on your word!"
"My word is as good as gold."
"You wait!"
After Hua Hua finished speaking, she ran off to investigate elsewhere. As a descendant of the Celestial Clan, she seemed to possess special abilities.
Lin Ying asked in a low voice, "Why is Your Majesty so insistent on searching for the remnants of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion?"
"I have a karmic connection with the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion, and this is a good opportunity to settle it."
Two days passed in a flash, and there was still no progress at Zilu Academy. Chen Futu even took out the Heavenly Secrets Disc, but it was useless. Just when all the searching was fruitless, Hua Hua suddenly called out, "Found it!"
