Young Master in Flower City

Chapter 1040 1041: Master?

So, he snorted coldly: "Defeat me first, then speak!"

"Still want to resist?" Gu Fengliu's voice was domineering. The next second, he stomped his foot, and an endless power poured into the battle spear. The Saint Emperor was scared to the core, as if the power contained within the spear was unbeatable.

Thud~

A soft sound emerged, and blood flowed ceaselessly from the Saint Emperor's hand, as the battle spear moved an inch closer to his forehead, now only three inches away, causing the Saint Emperor extreme terror.

Thud~

Yet, in the next second, the spear moved another inch, and blood gushed from the Saint Emperor's palm, making his complexion even paler and uglier. The sight made others' hearts pound with immense dread.

Just two more inches, and the spear would pierce the Saint Emperor's forehead, leading many to wonder whether the Saint Emperor would compromise, letting Ye Qingcheng go?

Meanwhile, the other four Emperors were equally stunned, realizing that this young Emperor would be a gigantic obstacle in their rule over the Immortal Realm. If he didn't die, he would certainly be the toughest opponent in their path to dominance.

Then, the Saint Emperor suddenly spoke: "If you act rashly again, I'll kill this woman right now!"

With that said, the Saint Emperor raised Ye Qingcheng's delicate body into the air. A simple squeeze of his fingers would mean her immediate demise.

"Let her go!" Gu Fengliu snorted coldly, but the Saint Emperor responded: "Seems she's quite important to you!"

"What do you want?" Gu Fengliu's voice was cold, and upon hearing it, the Saint Emperor's heart delighted: "Simple, cripple your arm that holds the spear, and I'll let her go!"

"Do you know the consequences of your demand?" Abruptly, Gu Fengliu's demeanor turned graver: "Even if I cripple an arm, there's no chance for you to leave here alive. Do you know who's supporting her?"

"Who?" The Saint Emperor frowned. Could this young Emperor really not be the one behind Ye Qingcheng? Then who's behind him? How credible are his words?

Gu Fengliu spoke coldly: "My master!"

My master?

The statement shocked the crowd below. If this mysterious youth was already so formidable, how even more terrifying would his master be? Could it be that he was here to rescue Ye Qingcheng on his master's orders?

If true, Ye Qingcheng's background would indeed be terrifying!

Recall, in Cangye Kingdom, this person had seemingly claimed he was defending the royal power on his master's command, and now it's brought up again. Could he genuinely have an enigmatic master behind him?

"Your words are laughable!" The Saint Emperor snorted coldly. Would he believe Gu Fengliu's words? To him, it seemed just a concocted figure by Gu Fengliu to save Ye Qingcheng.

How could there be a master behind an Emperor?

In his view, an Emperor within the Immortal Realm was already at the peak of existence. Why would such a figure heed orders at will?

Thus, the Saint Emperor sneered: "If you don't disable your arm, then you can prepare her corpse for burial!"

With that, his grip on Ye Qingcheng's body tightened further, causing her to suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood. Yet her beautiful eyes still revealed stubbornness.

She coldly said: "Kill him!"

Ye Qingcheng wasn't afraid of death. Even if she didn't understand why this youth was risking everything to save her, she wouldn't want to implicate him due to herself.

"Shut your mouth!" The Saint Emperor shouted at Ye Qingcheng: "Speak again, and this will be your burial ground!"

Following this, the Saint Emperor glanced at Demon Emperor, Bright Emperor, and Jiuxian Great Emperor, continuing, "I suppose your thoughts align with mine; if this person doesn't die, he'll undoubtedly be a formidable hindrance in the future. Why not join forces and eliminate him together?"

Upon hearing this, the three Great Emperors exchanged glances, plainly contemplating. Actually, they wished to kill this youth too, but had reservations. After all, they hadn't figured out who or if his master existed yet. Should they kill the youth and his claim prove true, what would the repercussions be?

Not to mention Ye Qingcheng too.

The youth previously claimed he was commanded by his master to protect Ye Qingcheng. Whether this master existed was uncertain. Would they dare to take risks?

At this moment, the Celestial Emperor's imperial aura spread, eyes grave, staring intently at the Saint Emperor, exuding a faint sense of aggression. This Saint Emperor was the mastermind behind other three Emperors' plot against Celestial Emperor. If given a chance to kill him, the Celestial Emperor certainly wouldn't hesitate.

"Saint Emperor!" Just then, the Celestial Emperor spoke abruptly: "A mighty Great Emperor resorting to using a weak woman as a shield, truly a mark of prestige!"

The Celestial Emperor's voice was filled with limitless sarcasm, making the Saint Emperor uncomfortable. As the Celestial Emperor pointed out, a mighty Great Emperor using a weak woman as a shield was truly disgraceful.

Nonetheless, what of it? He knew that once he let Ye Qingcheng go, he, the Saint Emperor, would undoubtedly perish here. He had no choice.

Thus, the Saint Emperor said: "So what if it's true, if you faced such a situation, wouldn't you be even more despicable?"

"Don't forget, you have descendants too!" The Celestial Emperor's voice was icy, as his gaze briefly fell on Saint Potian. Instantly, Saint Potian's complexion turned pale, and suddenly, the Celestial Emperor reached toward Saint Potian.

"What are you doing?"

Bewildered.

The Saint Emperor was dumbfounded. He hadn't expected the Celestial Emperor to turn the tables on him.

"Insolence!" Right then, an Immortal Venerable from the Holy Capital shouted: "A mighty Celestial Emperor only resorting to such base means?"

With that, the Venerable stepped out, blocking in front of Saint Potian. The Celestial Emperor snorted coldly: "Get lost!"

Bang~

Upon that yell, the Immortal Venerable's body was directly killed by the Celestial Emperor's palm, rendering Saint Potian with a look of despair. How could he resist against a Great Emperor's attack?

"Celestial Emperor, isn't your action too despicable?" The Demon Emperor snorted coldly, his figure flashing beside Saint Potian, continuing: "You have sons too, aren't you afraid?"

Upon hearing, the Celestial Emperor withdrew his hand, his gaze indifferent toward the Demon Emperor: "Do you want to involve yourself?"

"My Demon Capital has signed a pact with the Holy Capital, I certainly won't watch this happen, and it seems today even you, Celestial Emperor, may not escape death!" The Demon Emperor spoke vigorously, demonic power permeating.

At the same time, Bright Emperor, Jiuxian Great Emperor all unleashed their imperial power from three directions, surrounding the Celestial Emperor, making his expression dreadful.

On the other side.

The Saint Emperor saw the other three Great Emperors hesitating, unwilling to join forces against the young Emperor, leaving his heart cold.

He had to stick to his resolve, coldly commanding Gu Fengliu: "Cripple your arm that holds the spear, and I'll let go of this woman!"

"I said, even if I cripple an arm, you have no chance of surviving!" Gu Fengliu pressed forward relentlessly, to which the Saint Emperor snorted: "Three seconds!"

"I'll give you three seconds!" Just then, a voice rang from the endless void.

Whoosh~

All eyes turned, only to see a masked figure stepping through space, with lightning spread wherever he went.

"Master!" Suddenly, Gu Fengliu saluted the masked figure.

Master?

Was this masked figure the master he spoke of?

How strong was his master, perhaps another Emperor level existence?
