"The Qin Emperor is joking. We are all of the human race, why make things difficult for each other?" The Holy Emperor smiled but his smile did not reach his eyes.
"Hehe!" The Qin Emperor let out a mocking laugh that was highly insulting in nature, as seen on the internet in the previous life.
The Holy Emperor didn't understand the meaning behind "hehe," but he could sense the mockery in the Qin Emperor's laughter.
The Ninth Spirit Yuan Saint sneered, "Daring not to send your true self, it seems that the Holy Emperor is just so!"
Upon hearing this, the Qin Emperor suddenly realized why this old man had such audacity. It turned out that the Holy Emperor in front of him was not his true self. How cunning.
"Even if I were the Holy Emperor, I would still need to be cautious, wouldn't I?" The Holy Emperor smiled, seemingly not getting angry.
Having been in power for thousands of years, the Holy Emperor had experienced all kinds of ups and downs.
Chang'e asked impatiently, "Speak, what's the matter!"
In the past, the Holy Emperor would have been moved by Chang'e's stunning beauty, but now he was filled with fear.
"I hope you release Prince Qin," the Holy Emperor said in a deep voice, feeling extremely helpless.
The world where the Holy Dynasty resided was called the Southern Domain Heavenly World, passed down since ancient times.
When Prince Qin was young, he occasionally obtained the inheritance of the Southern Domain Heavenly World, known as the Heavenly Magnetic Divine Ability.
In the Southern Domain Heavenly World, no one could kill him. He was equivalent to the heavenly way in the Southern Domain Heavenly World. If he were to fight within the Southern Domain Heavenly World, the entire Holy Dynasty, except for the Holy Emperor, would not be able to defeat him.
However, Prince Qin encountered the Ninth Spirit Yuan Saint, whose ability to devour the heavens and the earth was too strong, swallowing him before he could react.
In the end, it was their lack of understanding of the Ninth Spirit Yuan Saint's strength.
"Why?" the Qin Emperor asked with a sly smile, causing the Holy Emperor's heart to clench.
"I can tell you the method to elevate your kingdom to an empire!" the Holy Emperor said in a heavy tone, his face filled with pain.
The method to elevate to an empire!
The Qin Emperor felt a surge of joy. As Great Qin gradually grew stronger, he had also been trying to find a way to elevate it to an empire. He only knew that he needed the assistance of a divine beast of fortune, but he had no idea how to do it.
He had asked Ao Wu Jian of the Southern Zhuo Dynasty, but even Ao Wu Jian did not know. He even said that there were no relevant records in the national treasury of the Southern Zhuo Dynasty.
Seeing the Qin Emperor's silence, the Holy Emperor continued, "Throughout history, empires have been established with the help of the Holy Dynasty. No kingdom can elevate to an empire on its own. An empire is not just about territory and strength; fortune is extremely important."
Fortune!
The Qin Emperor felt a headache coming on. This word again.
No wonder Ao Wu Jian said there was no information on this. It turned out that the Holy Dynasty had sealed it off. It was truly a clever tactic!
"Tsk tsk, it turns out that the Southern Domain cultivators are getting weaker and weaker, all because of you," came the cold laughter of Elder Yi. The Holy Emperor subconsciously turned to look at Elder Yi, who had appeared behind him at some point, causing the Holy Emperor to step back in shock.
"Who are you?" the Holy Emperor asked through gritted teeth, his heart filled with waves of shock. He exclaimed frantically, "Impossible! Absolutely impossible! It can't be anyone..."
Elder Yi sneered, "Don't you recognize me?"
The Qin Emperor, Chang'e, and the Ninth Spirit Yuan Saint looked at each other. Did Elder Yi know the Holy Emperor?
"You... you are... a demon..." the Holy Emperor began to stutter.
Could it be that the Holy Emperor was born during the era of the Demon Emperor?
Looking at Elder Yi's mocking expression, the Qin Emperor suddenly felt a sense of gossip!
"Hehe, it's been thousands of years. I wonder where the Holy Dynasty emerged from. It turns out it's from your Xia family," Elder Yi continued to smile, but his smile sent chills down people's spines.
The Holy Emperor broke out in a cold sweat, swallowing hard as he said, "Impossible! Weren't you already killed by the Temple?"
The Temple?
Everyone furrowed their brows. Even Elder Yi's eyes shot out a cold light, illuminating the dim room. He suppressed the urge to explode and angrily asked, "The force that suppressed me back then was called the Temple?"
The Qin Emperor also clenched his fists. According to the Southern Abyss Gate's Nan Gong Lie Tian, Little Candle Dragon was also taken away by the Temple. He couldn't believe that there were two Temples targeting the Southern Domain. It was obvious that the force that took Little Candle Dragon and the force that suppressed Elder Yi were the same!
"Yes!" the Holy Emperor gritted his teeth in response. The situation had exceeded his imagination. Before coming here, he never thought that the Demon Emperor, who had died thousands of years ago, would reappear in the world and follow the Qin Emperor.
Could it be that the reason the Qin Emperor rose so quickly was because of Elder Yi?
As this thought arose, the Holy Emperor felt that the possibility was even greater.
He had witnessed the battle posture of the Demon Emperor. Even now, recalling it made him shiver all over.
After the Demon Emperor, many heroes emerged, but no one could reach that height again, including the Demon Lord. In the quiet of the night, the Holy Emperor would also reminisce about that era.
"How is Xiuer? What happened to her?" Elder Yi asked in a low voice, giving the Qin Emperor a bad feeling.
Damn!
Could it be that Elder Yi and the Holy Emperor were on the same side?
The Ninth Spirit Yuan Saint and Chang'e also became vigilant. Elder Yi had always been elusive, and even the Ninth Spirit Yuan Saint couldn't do anything to him. Such an enemy was absolutely terrifying.
"Your mother is now the current Empress," the Holy Emperor replied, his eyes filled with pleasant surprise.
He didn't expect Elder Yi to still remember the Empress!
In that case, couldn't they use the Empress to turn Elder Yi against the Holy Emperor?
The Qin Emperor couldn't help but feel the urge to facepalm. Damn, why did this kind of melodramatic situation have to happen around him?
"Hmph! You mother and son truly have great ambitions!" Elder Yi said coldly. "Quickly reveal the method to elevate your kingdom to an empire, or I will attack the Holy Emperor Peak tonight!"
The Holy Emperor's face instantly turned ugly. He hadn't expected Elder Yi to turn hostile so quickly.
Qin Jun could understand their conversation. It was obvious that the Holy Emperor was not the son of Yi Lao, his former lover and the son of his lover had taken over his kingdom. How could he possibly be in a good mood?
If it were Qin Jun, he would definitely turn the Holy Dynasty upside down!
"Hand over the Prince Qin first!" the Holy Emperor gritted his teeth. The Prince Qin was his most beloved, as his mother was the woman he loved most in his life, even though she had passed away.
Qin Jun did not respond, just gazed at him quietly, making him feel uneasy.
The atmosphere became heavy.
The cold sweat on the Holy Emperor's forehead increased, and he gritted his teeth, "Emperor Qin, you should consider the power of the Divine Hall. An existence like the Heavenly Demon Lord, the Divine Hall can crush with just one finger. Before your wings are fully developed, don't act recklessly!"
He spoke with a tone of earnest advice, but in fact, he was reminding Qin to show respect because the Divine Hall stood behind him.
Qin Jun's voice turned cold, "Are you forcing me to destroy the Holy City now?"
One sentence filled the air with tension.
At this moment, Yi Lao transmitted a message to Qin Jun, "Qin, spare him this time. The Divine Hall is really powerful!"
Yi Lao knew how strong Qin Jun's current power was. As a Nine Spiritual Element Saint, he was at the ninth level of the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm, very strong, but not enough in front of the Divine Hall.
Upon hearing this, Qin Jun's heart sank to the bottom of the valley. [End of this chapter]
