Dethroned from the Imperial Throne, Why Are You So Anxious When I Don't Want It Anymore? - Chapter 169
Chapter 169: Stop Hiding
Crimson Sword Light tore through the Domain. Four Transformation God Mid Stage Attendants, like birds with broken wings, crashed to the ground, kicking up dust.
With four slain, Ye Yu turned to the other three trapped Attendants. Just as he was about to move, a sudden chill rose in his heart.
That feeling of being watched assaulted him again.
Ye Yu’s vision went black. He felt as if a pair of enormous eyes above him in the sky were slowly opening.
Fortunately, at a critical moment, the Cauldron Spirit appeared on Ye Yu’s shoulder with a grave expression. A green light surged forth, enveloping Ye Yu.
The feeling of being watched finally dissipated.
Ye Yu’s world returned to normal.
Yet, in that single moment, Ye Yu was drenched in cold sweat, gasping for breath.
“What was that just now! ” Ye Yu said.
The Cauldron Spirit offered no explanation. After glancing at Ye Yu, it disappeared into his brow.
Ye Yu felt, perhaps it was an illusion, that the Cauldron Spirit’s body had shrunk considerably.
“I’ll kill you all! ” Wan Bosong roared, his spiritual energy erupting, temporarily forcing Liu Qi back.
The loss of six Transformation God Stage Experts drove the Wan Dynasty Sovereign nearly mad. He immediately knelt before the Imperial Palace.
“Your unworthy descendant, Wan Bosong, humbly requests the Ancestor to leave seclusion. The Empire faces its final hour! ”
As his words fell, a Spiritual Light shot up from deep within the Imperial Palace. An Elder in white robes appeared before everyone.
It was Wan Guiyi, the ancestor of the Wan Dynasty Imperial Family.
Void Refinement!
The instant Wan Guiyi appeared, Liu Qi and Ye Yu felt the immense Pressure emanating from the Elder’s body.
However, the Wan Guiyi before them had a relatively chaotic aura compared to the Void Refinement Experts they had encountered before, far less profound than those like Ji Wuming.
He clearly appeared to be nearing the end of his life.
No wonder he hadn’t made a move earlier. It seemed every action took a toll.
Looking at Wan Bosong kneeling before him, Wan Guiyi sighed, “This is my last intervention. From now on, it’s up to you. ”
Wan Bosong trembled at these words. Lifting his head, his face was filled with bitterness. He knew the Ancestor’s lifespan was ending, but he hadn’t expected this to be his last intervention.
“Wan Bosong, farewell, Ancestor. ”
Wan Guiyi nodded, then looked at Ye Yu. “I haven’t seen a young person with such talent in a long time. To think my last intervention would be to eliminate a genius. Heaven has been kind to me! ”
Seeing Wan Guiyi appear, Wei Qionghua was so excited she almost cried out. Ye Yu’s abilities far exceeded her expectations. She had thought this was hopeless, but Wan Guiyi had emerged.
Against a Void Refinement Expert, even if Ye Yu was stronger, he would never survive.
Liu Qi looked grim, while Ye Yu gradually released his Primordial Invincible Scripture state. The longer this state lasted, the greater the damage to his body, and the longer the weakness would persist. The green light around him disappeared.
There was still much to do, so Ye Yu couldn’t allow himself to remain weak for too long.
“Giving up? Wise. ” Wan Guiyi chuckled lightly, then pointed. Space collapsed. A terrifying Spiritual Light nearly enveloped the entire Imperial City.
Seeing this, Ye Yu turned towards the mid-air and said, “Don’t hide. That’s their strongest person. ”
The instant his words fell, a colossal beast claw appeared out of nowhere, instantly crushing the Spiritual Light Wan Guiyi had condensed.
Immediately afterward, an Ice Crystal Dragon Scale Beast, several zhang tall, appeared beside Ye Yu. Chuckling dryly, it said, “Hiding? What hiding? I just arrived. Good timing, right? ”
Ye Yu gave the Ice Crystal Dragon Scale Beast a speechless look. If Wan Guiyi had been a bit stronger, or if there had been another Void Refinement Stage Expert, this creature definitely wouldn’t have shown itself.
“What kind of look is that? You don’t believe me, do you? I’m your Zi Xiao Sword Sect’s Guardian Spirit Beast now! Don’t you believe me? ” Feeling Ye Yu’s gaze, the Ice Crystal Dragon Scale Beast became furious.
Ye Yu scoffed. The Ice Crystal Dragon Scale Beast didn’t know that it had merged with the Xuantian Cauldron Fragment a long time ago, so Ye Yu could sense its presence at any time using the cauldron’s power.
When Ye Yu first arrived in the Wan Dynasty Capital, he had sensed the Ice Crystal Dragon Scale Beast’s presence, but it had been hiding.
“I don’t have the energy to deal with you. Should we just kill them all? ” The Ice Crystal Dragon Scale Beast glanced around viciously.
Ye Yu pondered for a moment, looked at the wary Wan Guiyi, and asked, “Can you kill that person before he self-destructs? ”
“Not necessarily. In his current state, even if he self-destructs, it won’t hurt me. You guys might not be so lucky, though. ” The Ice Crystal Dragon Scale Beast chuckled.
Ye Yu was speechless. He glanced at Wan Bosong and said, “You set a trap to lure me here. Don’t blame me. ”
With that, Ye Yu instantly appeared before Wan Bosong, striking his shoulder with a palm. A surge of Soul Power secretly entered his body.
With the Ice Crystal Dragon Scale Beast watching, Wan Bosong dared not resist.
Ye Yu then turned to look at Wan Guiyi and said to the Ice Crystal Dragon Scale Beast, “Let’s go. ”
As soon as he spoke, the two and the beast left. Wan Guiyi did not dare to stop them. He could only sigh. He knew he was no match for the Ice Crystal Dragon Scale Beast. Things hadn’t reached that point yet, and he didn’t dare to self-destruct in a desperate gamble.
This was the Wan Dynasty. Below, in the Imperial Palace, were his descendants, his bloodline.
In the end, he only sighed and slowly closed his eyes. He cast a lingering glance at the half-destroyed Imperial Palace below. His breathing became rapid, then finally ceased.
The two and the beast swaggered out of the Wan Dynasty Capital, without anyone daring to stop them.
“That person’s aura has disappeared. Should we make a counterattack? ” The Ice Crystal Dragon Scale Beast suddenly said.
Ye Yu shook his head. According to his past life’s memories, after the Bl00d Demon Clan invaded Qingzhou, the Bl00d Demon Clan soon appeared in Yunzhou. The location of that outbreak was the Wan Dynasty.
The Demon Race invasion of Qingzhou was because of Ye Xuan, but Ye Yu didn’t know about Yunzhou.
When he had injected Soul Power into Wan Bosong, he hadn’t detected any trace of Bl00d Seed or Demonic Qi in him, indicating the problem wasn’t with him.
Now that the Bl00d Demon Clan in Qingzhou was about to make a move, killing Wan Bosong was less beneficial than leaving them to disperse the Bl00d Demon Clan’s forces.
Meanwhile, inside the Wan Dynasty Imperial Palace, Wan Bosong sat on the Imperial Throne with an ashen face. Looking at the three remaining Transformation God Attendants below, he said coldly, “Ye Yu said a trap. How come I don’t know what trap we set?! What’s going on! Can anyone tell me! ”
The three Attendants’ expressions changed slightly, and they all looked towards Wei Qionghua.
Noticing their actions, Wan Bosong turned to Wei Qionghua and asked coldly, “Consort Qiong, do you know? “
