Asura Mad Emperor

One by one, the people at the Sect's gate took their stance, and by now, everyone had made their choice.

The Burning Heaven Sect originally had several hundred thousand disciples, but as things stood, only about a thousand remained to defend the Sect's gates.

The disciples and elders were fully aware that neither the Golden Wheel Great Formation nor the ancestor's exit from seclusion could prevent the methods of two Quasi-Emperors; any resistance would be futile struggle.

At this moment, the crowd gathered together, encircling Chi Shan and the others with resolute and steadfast expressions, silently waiting for the two Quasi-Emperors to launch their final, fatal strike, ready to face death with magnanimity.

Indeed, the wind bleakly howled as the waters of Yi were coldly still, a valiant who departs might never return.

Chi Shan's eyes swept over each person, and even though he had lived for tens of thousands of years and his Dao Heart was incredibly firm, he was still deeply moved; with eyes turning red and a quivering voice, he said, "Fiery Sky Lineage, to have your support, is my, Chi Shan's, fortune!"

"The Burning Heaven Sect is indeed a Dao Sect of the Imperial Dao. I, Chi Shan, have painstakingly presided over it for tens of thousands of years. Although I did not let it fall into obscurity, I ultimately failed to restore our former glory and instead led such a catastrophe upon our Sect, which truly lets down our ancestors."

"You all had a slight chance at life, yet you still remained with the Sect, to advance or retreat together with the Sect, Chi Shan is beyond grateful."

No sooner had his words ended,

than the surrounding elders and disciples shouted in unison, "Swear to protect Burning Heaven to the death! Live and die with the Sect!"

"Swear to protect Burning Heaven to the death! Live and die with the Sect!"

For a moment, the calls echoed through the skies, moving heaven and earth, shaking the land, and even the elders of the Ten Great Clans and the people in the Golden Armor were touched.

At that moment, only the sound of three claps could be heard.

One saw a Quasi-Emperor of the Jiuxiang Ancient Country's Imperial Family stepping forward while clapping, a constant smile on his face as he said with a chuckle, "Good! Good! Good! Such true feelings indeed move one's heart! Such sincere and earnest emotions almost make me reluctant to kill you all!"

After finishing, his gaze turned towards Fusang Mountain above, and his tone shifted, "However, it's a pity, for I've made a promise before. Since I said I would annihilate all the living beings on Fusang Mountain, I have to keep my word. I will give you one last opportunity. Either submit to the Jiuxiang Ancient Country or die!"

The voice of the Great Emperor's Law, containing Supreme Imperial Might, resonated like thunder, striking directly at the eardrums of the remaining Burning Heaven Sect disciples.

The remaining few thousand members of the Burning Heaven Sect remained silent, having already made their decision to stay put, they had cast aside their concern for life and death and would not change their minds just because of the other's words.

Noticing the indifference of the crowd, the smile on the Quasi-Emperor's face faded a bit, and his tone carried a hint of grimness, "If that is so, then go to your death!"

Before the opponent could finish speaking, Qinchuan, who had not said a word until now, finally spoke again, using a languid voice, "If these people have entrusted themselves to my Burning Heaven Sect, then as an elder of the Burning Heaven Sect, it is my duty to ensure their safety. Who do you think you are to decree their death so lightly?"

"Today, I say they shall live, and even if the Ghost Emperor of Yama came here himself, he would not be able to take them away."

As Qinchuan spoke, the previously tense atmosphere suddenly dropped to freezing point.

Everyone gasped in shock.

"This young man, he dared to openly defy the Quasi-Emperor again and again!"

Upon hearing Qinchuan's interjection, the Burning Heaven Sect disciples and the other elders couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement, recalling how Qinchuan had always been able to stand up at critical moments during the grand competition, defying everyone's expectations.

"Could it be that Elder Qin really has a strategy to repel the enemy?"

But then, remembering the two Quasi-Emperors' arrival, they promptly shook their heads, the glimmer of hope they had kindled turning to ashes.

The disciples and elders heaved sighs, "Elder Qin may be powerful, but how could he possibly stand against two Quasi-Emperors?"

"Even if the ancestor were to come out of seclusion, he wouldn't be a match for the two Quasi-Emperors."

"Furthermore, our Fiery Sky Lineage's ancestor, he—"

Upon reaching this point in the conversation, the disciple said no more.

Everyone understood his meaning. At this juncture, with two Quasi-Emperors bearing down and no sign of the sect's ancestor emerging from seclusion, the likelihood was that even if the ancestor had not passed away, the odds were gravely unfavorable.

The Heavenly Sword Sect's elders and the disciples and protectors who had already allied with the Jiuxiang Ancient Kingdom were filled with righteous indignation.

"This kid, even now, still has the audacity to be so arrogant."

"A mere Meridian Opening Realm Cultivator, I don't know where he gets his courage from to dare face two Quasi-Emperors head-on!"

At that moment, Gong Hong could no longer hold back and leapt out, loudly scolding, "Qinchuan, you whelp, the Quasi-Emperors don't hold your offense against Imperial Might against you, yet not only do you fail to be grateful, but you also challenge their dignity time and again. Do you truly think owning a Divine Artifact makes you invincible in this world?" Explore more stories with My Virtual Library Empire

"Hmm?"

"Divine Artifact? What's going on?"

Not only did the Quasi-Emperors of the Jiuxiang Imperial Family show curiosity, but so did the Quasi-Emperor from Netherworld Hall, Zhong, who also looked over attentively, his gaze fixed on Gong Hong, a clear inquiry in his eyes.

The black-robed elder of the Heavenly Sword Sect had originally suspected Qinchuan was a member of the holy temple, but now he realized that Zhong apparently didn't recognize Qinchuan, and finally confirmed Qinchuan wasn't from the holy temple.

He immediately stepped forward and bowed.

He recounted in detail to the two Quasi-Emperors the events of Qinchuan's defeat of the three opponents in the Martial Arts arena.

Upon hearing this, both Quasi-Emperors' eyes emitted a burst of brilliance, their gazes fervently fixed on Qinchuan.

Whether it was instantly repairing a damaged soul or killing a Supreme Saint while in the Meridian Opening Realm, even they had never heard of such feats.

Especially Zhong, who looked burning with eagerness, as if he wanted to see right through Qinchuan.

He was indeed a member of the holy temple and had practiced the Hundred Refinements Divine Art. The Hundred Refinements Divine Art could repair souls, true, but it still required a certain time to nourish, fast would take three to five days, slow would take several months, to fully recover a damaged soul.

If what the black-robed elder had said was true, then Qinchuan's secret technique was necessarily superior to the Hundred Refinements Divine Art.

For a moment, his heart surged tumultuously, eager to know what secret technique Qinchuan had used.

"Zhong, this young man surely has many secrets; how about we capture him and then his body's treasures shall be mine, and his soul memories shall go to you, Zhong. What do you think?"

Zhong's face showed hesitation, although the Hundred Refinements Divine Art was valuable, Divine Artifacts were even rarer, and even as a Quasi-Emperor, he was quite greedy for them.

After pondering for a moment, he finally bit the bullet and nodded, saying, "Agreed!"

Although he was covetous of Divine Artifacts, the thought of Qinchuan, in addition to the Hundred Refinements Divine Art, having a Red Luan of Fusang at his side, he must have other secret techniques to subjugate Divine Beasts.

If he could use the Soul-Searching Technique on Qinchuan's soul later, he would surely obtain many secrets. With these thoughts, he found the arrangement acceptable.

Moreover, once the other party took the Divine Artifact, it would not be reasonable for them to fight with him over the Red Luan or any other treasures thereafter.

Seeing that the two parties were already planning to divide up the treasures he possessed, Qinchuan couldn't help but let out a cold laugh.

He glanced at the two Quasi-Emperors and said indifferently, "You have been lurking for forty-nine years, do you really think my Fiery Sky Lineage is oblivious?

Following that, a burst of brilliance exploded in his eyes, and his icy gaze swept over everyone present.

The Golden Armored Army Formation of a hundred saints, the elders of the Nine Great Clans, Netherworld Hall, Jiuxiang Ancient Kingdom, and the disciples of the Fiery Sky Lineage who had defected to the enemy.@@novelbin@@

Qinchuan stood with his spear held across, dominating the Eight Desolates, "Since you've all arrived, then it's time for you to set off together."

Having said that, a tangible murderous intent burst forth from him, a blood-colored might rolled in, instantly covering the entire sky, even overpowering the might of the two Quasi-Emperors.
