Peerless Dragon Sovereign

Chapter 670 670: Slaying Emperor Council

It has been five days since Chu Nan had Bai Youyou recognize him as master.

Nanmo, within Blood Evil City.

Blood Evil City is one of the key cities controlled by the Slaughter Emperor Sect, containing a population of over one million and tens of thousands of Martial Artists.

Among them, there are several hundred Cloud Sea Realm Martial Artists, occupying one of the best oases in Nanmo, second only to Desolate Ancient City in importance.

Today, for the residents and Martial Artists of Blood Evil City, it is an ordinary day.

Being killed and oppressed daily by the Martial Artists of the Slaughter Emperor Sect has long become commonplace, even becoming a habit.

All the Martial Artists in the city, from top to bottom, have long accepted the cruel rule of the Slaughter Emperor Sect as a matter of course, without a hint of rebellion in their hearts.

However, what no one knew was that today.

The few Slaying Emperors at the core of the Slaughter Emperor Sect would descend to discuss matters.

Aside from the twelve Slaying Emperors themselves, few outsiders knew about this.

The twelve Slaying Emperors concealed their identities, entering Blood Evil City as ordinary Martial Artists, like common merchants and laborers, and then, one by one, arrived at a decrepit inn.

As a killer organization, in essence, there is no real headquarters.

Or rather, wherever the twelve Slaying Emperors are, that is the headquarters of the Slaughter Emperor Sect.

This decrepit inn is one of the Slaughter Emperor Sect's strongholds in Blood Evil City, known by few. The Slaughter Emperor Sect had gathered here before, so they didn't think there would be anything unusual about it.

"This damned place again, I wonder what the old man is summoned for this time!" An old man in a blood robe stepped into the decrepit inn, couldn't help cursing under his breath.

This person was none other than Zhi Polang, the seventh Slaying Emperor of the Seventh Heavenly Realm, and the great ancestor of the Zhi Family.

Ever since the Zhi Family was attacked by the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall, the Zhi Family Secret Realm lay in ruins. He rid himself of the Demon Blood's drawbacks, and during this period, the Zhi Family thrived on the Demon Blood's power, showing signs of resurgence.

Zhi Polang was immensely pleased about this, immersing himself in the construction of the family daily, becoming impatient with the monthly Slaying Emperor gatherings of the Slaughter Emperor Sect.

Moreover, due to the Zhi Family's past as a strong race of the Qin Kingdom, Zhi Polang was quite excluded within the Slaughter Emperor Sect.

If not for the Zhi Family having killed too many Martial Artists with the royal family and strong races combined, reaching a life-and-death situation, no matter how strong he was, Zhi Polang could never have become a Slaying Emperor of the Slaughter Emperor Sect.

Although Zhi Polang was somewhat unwilling about this gathering, he still came. After all, the Slaughter Emperor Sect is no small force; in the future, they would still need to rely on them to counterattack the royal family and strong races.

After entering the inn, the inn's servant opened a concealed door for Zhi Polang.

Zhi Polang slowly descended the staircase leading underground through the door, passing through the darkness and arriving in a room with a dozen jade thrones standing upright.

These jade thrones were arranged in a circle, with beast patterns carved on their surfaces, also marked with numbers.

At this moment, many Slaying Emperors were already seated, and Zhi Polang found the jade throne marked with a seven and sat down, then slightly closed his eyes, waiting for the arrival of the other Slaying Emperors.

During the wait, Zhi Polang's mind was also in constant thought.

As a Secret Realm hidden in Nanmo Province, Zhi Polang was aware of many happenings in Nanmo and naturally knew that most of the nine Hall Masters of the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall had nearly perished.

Even the First Hall Master had died, and it was said that the position had been taken over by a Martial Artist named Chu Nan.

Zhi Polang found it so coincidental that people named Chu Nan were all so extraordinary as to take control of the ancient power of the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall?

Zhi Polang had a deep impression of Chu Nan, as he not only saved the Zhi Family Secret Realm at the time of crisis but also resolved the lingering Demon Blood peril of the Zhi Family.

Allowing the Zhi Family Martial Artists to retain the talents and combat power brought by the Demon Blood while no longer worrying about the influence of the maniacal consciousness.

Zhi Family Martial Artists, endowed with the Ancestral Bloodline, are destined to rise in the future. The biggest current issue is only time.

Therefore, the Zhi Family is not in a hurry. He believes that as long as they continue to wait, the day will come when the Zhi Family can take their revenge.

As for the connection between the Zhi Family, Chu Nan, and the current master of the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall, Zhi Polang never doubted that they are the same person.

After all, Zhi Polang was well aware of Chu Nan's demeanor and cultivation. When leaving the Zhi Family Secret Realm, he had just broken through to the Cloud Sea Realm, not yet reaching the fifth realm of the Cloud Sea Realm.

And it hadn't even been a year since Chu Nan left the Zhi Family Secret Realm, do you believe he could have taken over the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall? Who would believe that?

Even in his dreams, Zhi Polang wouldn't dare to dream so absurdly.

In Zhi Polang's view, Chu Nan must be searching for opportunities in some powerful Secret Realm under Zhi Tianping's protection, enhancing his strength.

There are too many people in the Celestial Crossing Realm; having the same name is quite normal.

While Zhi Polang was pondering, unknowingly, except for the position of the Sixth Slaying Emperor, the twelve jade thrones had all been filled.

The Sixth Slaying Emperor was previously slain by Chu Nan during an encirclement with Lan Zhanhan.

Since the time of the Sixth Slaying Emperor's death was too recent, the Slaughter Emperor Sect had not yet found a suitable Martial Artist to replace the Sixth Slaying Emperor.

Among the Martial Artists on these jade thrones, some exposed their faces like Zhi Polang, while others still concealed their identities, not daring to reveal themselves.

Especially the First Slaying Emperor seated at the foremost, not only wearing a huge black robe but also a dragon-patterned mask, slightly releasing the Ninth Heavenly cultivation, intimidating all the Martial Artists present.

"Now that everyone is here, let's officially begin this session of the Slaughter Emperor Council." The First Slaying Emperor said coldly, having been in a position of power for a long time, he already possessed the dignity of a strong authority figure.

"The theme of this council is how we should face the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall, which has changed masters."

"Should we crush the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall in one fell swoop, or slowly chip away, or stand as equals as before?"

The Desolate Ancient Holy Hall has always held a position above the Slaughter Emperor Sect, occupying more oases and cultivation resources in Nanmo than the Slaughter Emperor Sect.

Many Martial Artists of the Slaughter Emperor Sect have long been dissatisfied with this, so someone immediately echoed: "The First Hall Master of the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall is dead, reportedly, all of the former Ninth Heavenly Martial Artists except Jiang Meier have perished."

"Since that's the case, why should we fear them? We should know that the Slaughter Emperor Sect has more than a few Ninth Heavenly Cultivators like us."

"Even if each spat once, we could drown the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall!"

The Slaying Emperor speaking was obviously overly aggressive, filled with dissatisfaction towards the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall, and most were not surprised by this, but some still opposed: "I think chipping away is better; defeating the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall in a single blow is unlikely."

"Although most of the former Ninth Heavenly Martial Artists of the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall have died out, it's said that the new Hall Master of the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall is very special, not only having an Eighth Heavenly pinnacle Demon Beast under his hand but also refining a Heavenly-grade Spirit Martial Desolate Ancient Holy Hall."

"Our Slaughter Emperor Sect doesn't possess a Heavenly-grade Spirit Martial, who knows how powerful the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall, once refined, will be."
