Young Master in Flower City

Chapter 1037 - 1038: Gathering of the Five Emperors

Aside from the Celestial Emperor, could there possibly be another Emperor standing behind the mysteriously beautiful woman? Based on what the Celestial Emperor said, it seems like it's a very powerful Emperor, right? This shouldn't be possible.

At that moment, the others in the hall were also shocked by the words of the Celestial Emperor. It would not be fitting for the dignified Celestial Emperor to speak lightly; if he claimed there was someone behind Ye Qingcheng, then could there really be someone?

"Could it be him?"

At this moment, a powerful figure from the Great Ming Immortal Sect suddenly thought of someone. The Luoyun Sect then asked, "Who is it?"

"Has the Sect Leader forgotten the events that happened not too long ago in the Cangye Kingdom!"

"Are you referring to those mysterious people?" Luoyun Sect furrowed his brow, and the powerful figure nodded, "If the Celestial Emperor is to be believed, aside from those people, I can't think of anyone else who could intimidate everyone and be unafraid of an Emperor!"

The events in the Cangye Kingdom were shocking to the Five Immortal Capitals. A mysterious youth spoke a single word to dispel the projection of the Great Ming Immortal Emperor; what unparalleled elegance! Surely that youth is the most mysterious Emperor of the Five Immortal Capitals, yet to this day, no one has been able to uncover the truth of the matter.

Of course, what they were referring to was Gu Fengliu, the general manager of Tianyu International.

As to whether it's him standing behind Ye Qingcheng, no one knows for certain—they were merely speculating. Perhaps the Celestial Emperor was just making things up.

However, recalling the Cangye Kingdom incident, Luoyun Sect thought Ye Qingcheng seemed to also be there, and now Ye Qingcheng is here as well—could this all be just a coincidence?

**[Sound of sword unsheathing]**

Soon after, the gaze of the Luoyun Sect fell upon the Saint Emperor, watching for what decision he would make. After all, Ye Qingcheng was still in his hands, and whether to kill Ye Qingcheng or not might merely be a thought away.

Then, the Saint Emperor boldly declared, "Celestial Emperor, are you trying to scare me? Even if there is another Emperor behind Ye Qingcheng, at most it's just that mysterious young Emperor, but as a fellow Emperor, and with my years immersed in the Martial Emperor Realm, what do I have to fear?"

The Saint Emperor continued, "Moreover, that mysterious youth in the Cangye Kingdom merely spoke to dispel the projection of the Ming Emperor, not the true body. Regardless of whether what you say is true or false, I, the Saint Emperor, have no reason to fear him!"

Though he spoke such words, the Saint Emperor still felt uncertain inside.

Then the Celestial Emperor said, "Are you really unafraid? If so, you might as well kill Ye Qingcheng and see if the Holy Capital fulfills that prophecy!"

The rumor, naturally being, if the Celestial Stele is in the Holy Capital, then the Holy Capital remains; if not, the Holy Capital will perish.

"Kill?" The Saint Emperor sneered, "How utterly ridiculous! Now, who doesn't know that Ye Qingcheng has control of the Heaven-breaking Stele? Before obtaining the 'Celestial Stele Technique,' why would I kill her?"

After speaking, the Saint Emperor looked coldly at Ye Qingcheng in his hand, saying, "Tell me the true 'Celestial Stele Technique!'"

"In your dreams!" Ye Qingcheng's voice was icy, her beautiful eyes revealing stubbornness, "If you have the guts, then kill me!"

"You think I don't dare?" The Saint Emperor snorted, tightening his grip slightly, and immediately you could hear the cracking of Ye Qingcheng's bones all over, with traces of fresh, crimson blood seeping from the corner of her mouth, making one feel heartache.

Yet Ye Qingcheng coldly said, "I am the only person in the world who knows the 'Celestial Stele Technique.' If I die, you'd better consider whether you can withstand the wrath of the other four Emperors!"

**[Sound of heart skipping a beat]**

Upon hearing this, the Saint Emperor felt a jolt in his heart. He knew very well that, besides him, the other four Emperors all wanted to obtain the 'Celestial Stele Technique,' and Ye Qingcheng was the only one who knew it. If he were to kill Ye Qingcheng, would the other four Emperors let him, the Saint Emperor, off the hook?

After all, Ye Qingcheng isn't a fool. As long as she does not reveal the 'Celestial Stele Technique,' she dares to assert that the Saint Emperor won't dare to harm her unless he wants to fulfill that ancient prophecy.

However, now the Saint Emperor found himself in a dilemma. If he released Ye Qingcheng, he feared the Celestial Emperor obtaining the 'Celestial Stele Technique'; but if he didn't release her, he dare not kill Ye Qingcheng either. Regardless of whether what the Celestial Emperor said was true or not, he couldn't possibly endure the wrath of the other four Emperors. If he killed Ye Qingcheng, it might bring about catastrophe upon the entire Holy Capital.

"Saint Emperor, my good brother!" At that moment, a group of figures walked in from the entrance of the Imperial Palace. The middle-aged man at the forefront, with a stern yet commanding presence, had two elder followers with him.

Needless to say, these two elders were certainly powerful Martial Venerables.

"It's the Ming Emperor!"

"The Ming Emperor is here too!"

"Today's enthronement ceremony is becoming more and more lively, but how will the Saint Emperor resolve this?"

"..."

As soon as the three entered the Imperial Palace, many people began to panic. Now, with the arrival of the Ming Emperor, there were already three Great Emperors present. On usual days, seeing three Great Emperors at once is as difficult as climbing to the heavens.

"Father!" Zai Lingyun spoke, his heart filled with joy, and then he saluted the Ming Emperor, who, with a hint of affection, gestured for him to rise, "My son, stand up!"

As his voice fell, the Ming Emperor directed his gaze at the Saint Emperor and continued, "Saint Emperor, my good brother, surely the remarkable woman in your hands is the celestial beauty who controls the Heaven-breaking Stele?"

"What do you want?" The Saint Emperor's heart tightened. The current situation was already beyond his control. However, the Ming Emperor casually smiled, "It's said that this woman who controls the Heaven-breaking Stele can oppose Martial Venerables. What do you think I want?"

As his voice fell, the Ming Emperor exuded a trace of Imperial Might, enveloping the entire hall, while all the members of the Great Ming Immortal Sect stood behind him.

At this time, the Celestial Emperor spoke, "Everyone knows that this Ye Qingcheng is also the Saintess of our Celestial Capital's Haotian Sect. Do you all still want to…"

"Celestial Emperor, you are mistaken!" The Ming Emperor interrupted the Celestial Emperor, continuing, "Ye Qingcheng being the Saintess of your Haotian Sect is true, but that Celestial Stele is a treasure of the Holy Capital. Would you let Ye Qingcheng just take it away?"

"Now that Ye Qingcheng has acquired the Celestial Stele, it naturally belongs to her. Why should she not take it?" The Celestial Emperor's voice was imposing.

"Celestial Emperor!" At that moment, a voice came from outside the Imperial Palace. As everyone turned their gaze toward the outside of the palace, they saw Mo Yun ascending to the sky, with a group of black-clad figures approaching through the air, landing outside the Imperial Palace.

"It's my father!" The Demon Emperor's eyes gleamed with excitement.

Others felt a slight tremor in their hearts. Now, with the Demon Emperor's presence, there were already four Great Emperors here today. Could it be that today, at the Holy Capital's enthronement ceremony, the Great Emperors of the Five Capitals would gather? This would indeed be a monumental event not seen in a thousand years.

Sure enough, before long, the Jiuxian Emperor also led a group of people forward, entering the Holy Capital Imperial Palace, stirring considerable waves in everyone's hearts.

The gathering of the Five Emperors in the sacred palace, all for the sake of one insignificant Martial Immortal, Ye Qingcheng—what a truly astonishing event. As long as Ye Qingcheng does not die today, her legend is destined to begin here.
