Chapter 172: Divine Emperor
"Uh, Master. I wouldn’t dare carry Sister Li Meng’er. If she woke up and found herself being held by a man, I think she’d eat me alive. So, Master, you should do it. She wouldn’t dare lay a hand on you," Li Qiye said.
Wang Yufan heard Li Qiye’s words, looked him up and down, and then said,
"Are you that afraid of Li Meng’er, but not afraid of me?"
"Master, what are you saying? Of course, I’m afraid of you too. It’s just that when I was in Li Shui Sect, the masters all told me that when a powerful woman loses her temper, ten men are no match for her.
So I think Sister Li Meng’er is like that. Although I’ve spent quite some time with her, I’ve managed to figure out a bit of her temper."
Hearing Li Qiye speak so earnestly, Wang Yufan said,
"Alright, then you can step aside." After speaking, Wang Yufan looked at Little Black.
Little Black felt the hairs on his body stand on end. He immediately communicated telepathically:
"Master, why are you looking at me? My small body can’t carry her."
"Oh? Is that so? Come on. Although your small body can’t carry her, I think if you made your body a little bigger, you should be able to, right? You’re a Tribulation Transcending Great Demon after all. I don’t believe you lack that much strength.
If you recognize me as your Master, then you carry her."
Little Black heard Wang Yufan’s words, looking a bit dejected, his two eyes drooping.
Li Qiye, standing nearby, felt a bit conflicted. Just as he was pondering, Little Black directly sent a telepathic message to Li Qiye.
"Little Li, can’t you carry Li Meng’er? You’ve really put Dog Brother in a tough spot this time. Dog Brother remembers this, and I’ll repay you well next time."
Hearing the threat in Little Black’s words, Li Qiye’s heart tightened. He knew Little Black was Master’s pet and wouldn’t harm him, but Li Qiye believed he could be pranked a few times. However, he then thought about Li Meng’er waking up and finding out he was the one who carried her back. Li Qiye still preferred the former option.
"Hehe, Dog Brother, I’ve put you in a difficult position this time. Next time, I, Li Qiye, will definitely offer you something delicious, how about that?"
Little Black heard Li Qiye’s words and was clearly moved. It wasn’t because of Li Meng’er, but because he had a phobia of human females touching his fur.
Finally, with Li Qiye’s help, a huge blanket was spread on Little Black’s back, and Little Black’s body also grew to about three or four meters tall. Then, Li Meng’er was placed on Little Black’s back.
Just as Wang Yufan was about to leave, Grand Uncle Changtian pointed at the two gigantic demonic apes still frozen in the sky and said,
"How should these two be dealt with? Should we just leave them? Will they come out? These are at the Divine King level."
Liu Wuxie chuckled and said,
"You don’t need to worry. These demonic apes are spontaneously generated by this small world. They will automatically disappear after we leave."
"Oh, is that so? Thank you, Ancest... Master, for clearing my doubts." Changtian clearly paused when he said "Ancestor." He still couldn’t quite believe that the person in front of him was the Ancestor of their Jidao Imperial Court. He would have to confirm it once they returned.
Liu Wuxie didn’t mind Changtian’s actions.
The next afternoon.
Wang Yufan and the others had already returned to the Jidao Imperial Court. Changtian arranged lodging for Wang Yufan and the others, and then also called Long Yan to release all the people at the stone steps outside the Jidao Imperial Court, lifting the ban.
This further confirmed to Long Yan that Wang Yufan and the others were undoubtedly among the top few on that stone tablet.
And the news of Wang Yufan and the others instantly spread throughout the Dao Realm in a very short time.
In Tiandao Imperial Court.
A Yellow-robed Middle-aged Man in brocade robes was currently writing with a brush on a white piece of paper.
Just then, hurried footsteps "da da da" were heard, finally stopping outside the door.
The Yellow-robed Middle-aged Man finished writing and said,
"Come in."
"Yes, Your Majesty, Emperor Ye, according to the latest information collected by our Tiandao Imperial Court. It seems there are extraordinary youths in the Jidao Imperial Court, and several of them at once. Do we need to pay special attention?"
Hearing what the person said, the Middle-aged Man laughed heartily:
"Wang Jun, I thought you should have a very good state of mind, so why are you so flustered by such a small matter?"
The Middle-aged Man spoke while writing.
However, hearing the words of the Yellow-robed Middle-aged Man, the person named Wang Jun said,
"Reporting to His Majesty, Emperor Ye, among those youths, one of them is shown to possess Emperor level talent on the test ladder stone tablet in the Jidao Imperial Court."
Hearing Wang Jun’s words, the Middle-aged Man, who was originally immersed in practicing calligraphy, felt his heart suddenly pound.
Perhaps others didn’t know what a Great Emperor meant, but how could he not know?
Immediately, he turned around and said to the person below: "Wang Jun, is what you said true?"
"His Majesty, Emperor Ye, this news has already spread throughout the Dao Realm. I estimate that the other Imperial Courts already know by now."
The Yellow-robed Middle-aged Man took a deep breath and said,
"I understand. You may go down first. Report any other news as soon as possible."
After hearing this, Wang Jun left the Emperor’s Hall. As he came out, he kept breathing heavily. It was simply because the oppressive feeling from that person just now was too strong, making him, who possessed Heaven Immortal strength, gasp for breath. When he mentioned Emperor level talent, he felt as if the entire space had solidified.
And that person just now was none other than the current strongest expert in the Dao Realm, Divine Emperor Ye Lingtian. Wang Jun wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. He didn’t know what measures His Majesty, Emperor Ye, would take upon hearing such news.
At this moment, in the Emperor’s Hall, Ye Lingtian’s eyes shot out brilliant light, and he murmured,
"Emperor level talent, Emperor level talent. My Dao Realm hasn’t even had a Divine Venerable for ten thousand years, and now there’s a youth with Emperor level talent appearing. Then I must seize this opportunity. If I can transfer his talent to myself, wouldn’t that Emperor level talent be mine?
No matter who you are, a genius only counts if they grow up. Those who don’t grow up will always be forgotten in the long river of history."
As Ye Lingtian spoke, he suddenly remembered that in another month, there would be the Youth Grand Competition of their Five Great Imperial Courts. Since the youth with Emperor level talent had arrived at the Jidao Imperial Court, Ye Lingtian felt that with Changtian’s personality, he would absolutely not give up such a good opportunity to win first place.
Then he could create a small problem at that time, making the youth with Emperor level talent accidentally kill a disciple of his Tiandao Imperial Court. That would be easy to handle. However, ordinary Tiandao Imperial Court disciples wouldn’t be important enough. If someone were to die, they must be of a certain important status. As Ye Lingtian thought, a roster appeared in his right hand.
His gaze finally rested on the first two names, and a cunning scheme began to form in Ye Lingtian’s mind.
