Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor

Chapter 2509: Chapter 2510: Auspicious Connections

”Lin Jian?”

Mu Yi squinted: ”Isn’t that the Young Master Wuhen, one of the Top Ten Young Masters, Lin Jian?”

”Yes...” Cold sweat dripped from the Illusion Clear Ancestor Emperor’s forehead.

”So, you are one of the Twelve Ancestral Emperors of the Qing Emperor Sect, the Illusion Clear Ancestor Emperor?” Mu Yi continued.

”Reporting to the Great Emperor, it is indeed this junior.” The Illusion Clear Ancestor Emperor hurriedly replied.

At the same time, a sense of sadness rose in his heart.

Among the Twelve Ancestral Emperors, the highly ranked Illusion Clear Ancestor Emperor, a Heavenly Emperor Realm expert, appeared to be completely unknown in the eyes of someone like the Qingyue Emperor.

”No wonder your Qing Emperor Sect has fallen to such a state, turns out it’s all because of such a group of juniors!”

For the first time, Mu Yi put aside his amiable demeanor and snorted coldly: ”As far as I know, you seem to have two sons, don’t you?”

The Illusion Clear Ancestor Emperor was stunned, not expecting Mu Yi to ask this, and immediately nodded: ”Yes.”

”Not nurturing those who should be nurtured, foolishly nurturing those who shouldn’t!”

After uttering this exceedingly casual remark, Mu Yi’s gaze turned to the Dark Sorcerer Supreme.

”Have you considered it?”

”No, absolutely not!”

Without waiting for the Dark Sorcerer Supreme to speak, Lin Jian shouted again.

”Boom!!!”

A frightening aura suddenly emanated from Mu Yi, transforming into a formidable hand, sweeping away the surrounding tables and chairs, directly reaching for Lin Jian.

”Spare me, Great Emperor!!!”

The Illusion Clear Ancestor Emperor’s expression changed drastically, hurriedly rushing out to shield Lin Jian.

”Bang!”

The illusory hand arrived, directly slapping onto the Illusion Clear Ancestor Emperor, causing his chest to explode, and tossing him aside.

The hand grasped Lin Jian’s neck, forcibly lifting him in front of Mu Yi.

”Do you know who I am?” Mu Yi stared at him, uttering word by word.

”Pre, Senior is... is the Qingyue Emperor!” Lin Jian stuttered.

He hadn’t anticipated that the seemingly amiable Qingyue Emperor would act so decisively, like thunder.

Regret at this moment, yet it was already too late.

”And what else?” Mu Yi asked again.

”And... and... You’re the highest leader stationed in the Lower-Class Star Region by the Starry Alliance!” Under such a gaze, Lin Jian felt a tingling sensation on his scalp.

”Then who are you?” Mu Yi proceeded to ask.

”Junior, junior disciple of the Qing Emperor Sect, Lin Jian.”

”Since you know your identity, do you think you have the right to interrupt repeatedly before me?”

Mu Yi’s tone turned icy, and as those words fell, the illusory hand had already contracted, causing Lin Jian’s face to turn completely red, with blue veins exposed on his forehead, seemingly on the verge of exploding from blood.

”Spare him, Great Emperor!!!” The Illusion Clear Ancestor Emperor shouted from a distance.

The Dark Sorcerer Supreme added, ”Great Emperor, the junior is ignorant, speaking nonsense here, please do not stoop to his level!”

”Then, have you decided?” Mu Yi looked at the Dark Sorcerer Supreme.

The latter froze, revealing a strong reluctance in his gaze.

He could accept the annual tribute of Spirit Crystals, as well as the kneeling ceremony.

However, as for the Immortal Artifact formed by the fragment, he truly did not want to part with it!

If he were to take out this Immortal Artifact again, it would undoubtedly further weaken the Qing Emperor Sect’s combat power, and if the Phoenix Sect reneged and attacked the Qing Emperor Sect again, their resistance would be even weaker!

But if he didn’t agree...

Clearly, the Qingyue Emperor sided with the Phoenix Sect.

Moreover, given the Phoenix Sect’s significant influence, and Su Han’s formidable combat power, would acquiring this Immortal Artifact truly ensure the survival of the Qing Emperor Sect?

”An Immortal Artifact, exchanged for the survival of my Qing Emperor Sect, is worth it!”

After gritting his teeth, the Dark Sorcerer Supreme nodded: ”I agree!”

”Hmph!”

Mu Yi snorted coldly, shaking off the hand that held Lin Jian.

With a bang, Lin Jian was thrown to the ground, shattering the tables and chairs scattered around, spewing fresh blood and turning pale.

”Manage your Qing Emperor Sect’s people, and teach them well how to correctly view their identities!”

”Yes...” The Dark Sorcerer Supreme responded weakly.

”Thank you, Great Emperor, for sparing him!”

The Illusion Clear Ancestor Emperor hurriedly rushed to Lin Jian’s side, seeing him unharmed finally allowed him to relax.

Following that, Mu Yi no longer bothered to exchange further words with them.

Once the Dark Sorcerer Supreme retrieved the armor formed by the fragment, Mu Yi and Emperor Mu Hua left.

As they exited Qing Emperor City, Emperor Mu Hua shook his head with a smile: ”On the body of this Dark Sorcerer Supreme, I’ve truly seen what shamelessness means.”

”He’s already been scared by the Phoenix Sect to this extent, yet he’s still audacious enough to assert that his combat power is on par with the Phoenix Sect? He’s truly not embarrassed at all!”

”And that Lin Jian, he’s indeed spoiled to an extreme degree, what a tragic sight!”

”Let’s go, visit the other sects.” Mu Yi said.

”Father, I can go to the other sects myself; given your status, there’s no need to keep showing up.” Emperor Mu Hua suggested.

”You don’t understand...”

Mu Yi shook his head: ”Su Han is a person who holds grudges dearly; with our forced intervention, his heart is sure to harbor resentment.”

”So what?”

Emperor Mu Hua furrowed his brow: ”Although I quite regard this guy, when has the Starry Alliance had to consider the feelings of others in their actions? If it weren’t for the face of the Divine Spirit, you probably wouldn’t have agreed to his three conditions.”

”Don’t assume that just because you’re backed by the Starry Alliance, you can dominate the world.”

Mu Yi’s brows furrowed slightly, his tone becoming much more serious, transmitting his voice: ”In the past, the God-Slaying Pavilion was the real leading force, but even with powers like Ancient Demon Dragon Emperor, don’t they still fall?”

”No one can clearly foresee how things will unfold in the future, but forming some good relationships is ultimately a good thing, understand?”

”Yes.”

Emperor Mu Hua nodded.

He truly didn’t have any other intention, just felt that, no matter how strong the Phoenix Sect was, it couldn’t surpass the Starry Alliance.

Clearly, Mu Yi’s foresight extended much further.

...

Three days later.

Among the Three Teachings, Nine Schools, and Seventy-Two Sects, Mu Yi visited all sects that had ever acted against the Phoenix Sect.

He personally informed the major sects of Su Han’s conditions.

Few disagreed.

Even those who did not agree, under Mu Yi’s pressure, had no choice but to consent.

Upon learning that Mu Yi had personally visited each sect, Su Han’s grievances indeed diminished significantly.

He understood that Mu Yi did not refrain from offending him out of fear but genuinely didn’t want to be his enemy.

When Mu Yi came again, Su Han’s attitude improved noticeably from before.

The Fragment of the Supreme Treasure Map from the Qing Emperor Sect finally landed in Su Han’s hands.

Added to the three previously obtained, and the two acquired from Guifeng Immortal Sovereign and the Sect of the Supreme Void’s Supreme Honor, he had gathered seven in total.

Only the last piece remained to fully complete it!

And this last piece was in the hands of the Yin-Yang Blade Saint, who had already fled to an unknown location!
