Imperial God Emperor

As the host, as well as Clear River Domain’s most influential martial arts authority, the Greater One Sect’s spiritual master’s importance was not light at all.

His appearance had brought the crowd in Enlightened Tea Garden to a peak of excitement.

Unfortunately, Ye Qingyu and the other people did not join in. They instead were waiting for flowers to bloom under an ancient Great Dao tree, and by the time they wandered over to the main area and found about this matter, the Greater One Sect’s spiritual master had already left in a hurry. 

After all, this tea party had mainly just invited the younger generation of major sects and forces. For the Greater One Sect’s spiritual master to appear already showed that he cared a lot about this tea party. It was impossible for him to stay for too long.

Then the following entire afternoon belonged to the young people in the tea garden. 

According to Greater One Sect’s previous words, each extraordinary talented youngster that was invited and attended the tea garden can receive a [Great Dao Sentient Flower].

At midday, Ye Qingyu and the other four people also received their own [Great Dao Sentient Flower].

But not one of the five people was satisfied. 

“Damn, isn’t this just like getting rid of beggars?” Hu Bugui fumed.

Because the divine flower that was given to him had only two petals. The stamen was missing and the Dao essence was damaged. It was obviously just a withered flower with no value at all.

And the [Great Dao Sentient Flower] that Ye Qingyu, Liu Shaji and Old Fish received was also similar, a defective product among defective products.

Only Nan Tieyi, the successor of the Immortal God Emperor Sect, because of his title of young emperor, barely received a complete divine flower. But it was incredibly small, and the Dao essence was also equally damaged. 

This was clearly not a coincidence. 

Someone was trying to embarrass them. 

“Woof, are you still not satisfied? I didn’t even get a piece of petal, okay?” Silly dog Little Nine was furious. After the enlargement of his body, his previous silly cuteness was gone and instead gained a fierce appearance. He said gritting his teeth, “I, Woof, is going to make Greater One Sect realize their mistakes. I’m going to steal all their things and dig up their ancestral graves.” 

Old Fish staggered, grumbling, “I call myself I, the king, you little guy call yourself I, woof, what do you mean by that?”

The angry silly dog Little Nine looked up at Old Fish, “What?”

Old Fish was about to say something, until he saw the two sets of teeth marks on the heel of Hu Bugui. He suddenly swallowed his saliva and his facial expression changed, saying with a smile, “Alright, alright, I think it’s fine. A similar name can show our deep friendship.” 

Ye Qingyu simply could not help admiring Old Fish’s integrity. 

On the other side, Hu Bugui’s eyes were twinkling, “Little Nine, what you just said is a very good idea. Why don't we make this big? Let’s find a chance and empty out Greater One Sect's armoury, hahaha.”

These days, Hu Bugui had experienced some of Little Nine’s ability, just like he had met someone that understood him. If it was not for the fact that Ye Qingyu was his friend, he would have kidnapped the dog already.

If he had a dog like him, he would have turned the entire Clear River Domain inside out. 

When two young experts passed by and overheard this dialogue, they looked at them like they were monster idiots. They wanted to steal from Greater One Sect, these guys are that poor? Or were they really not afraid to die?  

So everyone avoided these guys like the plague.

As they were walking, they could hear the noise and clamour of crowds of people gathered ahead.

It looked very lively. 

“What’s going on?” Ye Qingyu and the others approached curiously.

A large number of people were surrounding the ancient tree platform that Greater One Sect’s spiritual master appeared before, where a large golden announcement was posted.

Before even coming close to the notice, from the dialogues between the young talents, they had already found out about the content on the notice——

“Greater One sect is going to put Heaven Wasteland Domain’s demon girl on trial.”

“Demon Girl?” 

“Yes, the companion of the perverted Demon Ye Qingyu. It is said that this demon girl and the perverted demon both came to Clear River Domain from a lower domain. In the beginning these two did not expose their evil nature. Greater One Sect pitied them and saw that the demon girl had good aptitude so they accepted her into Clear Lotus Peak. While the perverted demon had poor aptitude, but Greater One sect still allowed him to stay in the odd job worker disciple area at the foothills. Unexpectedly, these two lower domain demons were not only ungrateful to Greater One Sect and did not change their evil nature, they brought disaster to Greater One Sect. They really deserve to die.”

“Is there really such a thing?” 

“You don’t know? This Greater One divine announcement had written clearly, sigh, these two roots of the trouble are both from Heaven Wasteland Domain. They show no humanity to others. Could it be that in this lower domain of Heaven Wasteland Domain, there are only such evil demons?” 

“Is there a need to ask, it must be so. I heard that the reason Greater One Sect discovered Heaven Wasteland Domain was because there were disciples that accidentally strayed into it during the training in Heavenly Gate. And in the end they suffered disastrous losses, harmed by the demons of the lower domain, and only a few managed to escape. Unfortunately, they did not note down the space-time coordinates of Heaven Wasteland Domain. The reason that Greater One Sect is hosting the Sword Storm meeting must be to elect a leader to lead the major sects of our Clear River Domain to invade Heaven Wasteland Domain and eliminate those lower domain troubles.”

“Yes, I also heard that the Greater One Sect had questioned that lower domain demon girl via torture. Unfortunately, this demon girl has been very tight-lipped. Adding to this, she has the imperial Qi on her body, so they could not search her spirit. The gathering of major sects and forces this time is to see if the major sects have any sacred weapons that could break the imperial qi on the demon girl and to search her spirit in order determine the space-time coordinates of the lower domain.”

The crowd broke into clamorous discussion. 

Ye Qingyu’s complexion began to change as he listened.

He instantly knew who the demon girl they was referring to was. 

He also understood why he could not find Yu Xiaoxing on Clear Lotus Peak. 

The words ‘question via torture’ made Ye Qingyu incredibly worried, upset, and furious. He almost, at the same time, exploded in wild rage, almost unable to control himself.

It never occurred to him that Greater One Sect would do such a thing.

It was clear that the commitment of taking her in as a disciple at the beginning was simply a trap.

The reason Greater One Sect accepted Yu Xiaoxing as a disciple was just to know more secrets about Heaven Wasteland Domain from her. The upper level of Greater One Sect must have gathered a lot of information from those Greater One Sect disciples that came with them, and through this information, they made a judgment. 

Did he harm Xiaoxing instead? 

This idea flashed across Ye Qingyu's mind.

But he immediately shook his head. 

Because from the fact that Greater One Sect had spent so much energy to hold the so-called Storm Sword meeting, inviting so many sects, Demon Race and other forces, it was obvious that it was not because of his escape, but from the beginning, they had made various plans.

If he had not been framed by Xiao Yunlong and fled, but temporarily stayed in the odd job worker disciple area, then he would have suffered the same fate as Yu Xiaoxing, arrested and questioned via torture, in order to gain more information about Heaven Wasteland Domain and to prepare for their invasion.

Xiao Yunlong, in order to target the treasured objects on him, had impatiently set up a botched trap, which forced him to flee from Greater One Sect. This had, to some extent, helped him instead. 

If both him and Xiaoxing were controlled at the same time, then most likely that both of them would be in life-threatening danger now.

It was precisely because of his sudden escape and disappearance that the only one who knew of the space-time coordinates and other secrets of Heaven Wasteland Domain was Xiaoxing only, so Greater One Sect would not kill her.

Is this the mercy of fate? 

Ye Qingyu in this moment figured out a lot of answers.

He trembled with rage.

Greater One Sect was also a Human Race sect and in this great wide world, the Human Race was already so weak. If the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors had not saved the Human Race several times before, it would have been wiped out long ago. But how could the Greater One Sect, who was also part of the Human Race, unite with Demon clans and other forces to invade a domain that was looked after by the Human Race? 

And to kill their own fellow citizen? 

Such a Human Race sect was simply rotten to the core.  

“I hope you people do not go too far, otherwise, one day, I must destroy Greater One Sect's line of inheritance.” Ye Qingyu vowed to himself, looking in the direction of the distant Great Hall of the Headmaster of Greater One Peak.

But this was not the time to be annoyed. 

The most important thing now was to first find where Yu Xiaoxing was imprisoned, and to save her.

Ye Qingyu forcibly suppressed his anger, carefully pondered for a while, squatted down, and softly said a few words in the ears of Little Nine.  

“Then another three bowls of god-level yuan liquid.” The silly dog very shamelessly bargained with him.  

Ye Qingyu stared at the good-for-nothing dog, gritting his teeth, “One bowl.”

“Deal.” Silly dog saw that his master was in a bad mood and that the matter was important, so he dared not be mischievous again. He nodded in reply and then turned to leave, vanishing in the distance after passing a huge enlightened tea tree. 

“Brother Tian Huang, what did you do with the dog?”  Hu Bugui asked.

“To find someone,” Ye Qingyu mumbled. “I have something to do, I will leave first.” 

Now, he had lost all interest in the Enlightened Tea Party, he just wanted to leave this tea garden and search the bottom of Greater One Sect to find Yu Xiaoxing.  

“What bullshit Enlightened Tea Party, it’s like a children’s game, I don't want to stay, leave, leave, we should all go.” Hu Bugui strolled around the entire garden, and still had a lack of interest and wanted to leave. 

The other three people agreed with him. 

The five people were ready to leave, when someone came directly over to stop them.  

“It is him...” More than 10 Greater One Sect disciples blocked their path, and among them, Xiao Yunlong pointed to Ye Qingyu, gnashing his teeth, “Shishu Liuyun, it is that little trash who said that most of our Greater One Sect disciples are rubbish.” 

“Oh?” A young man in red flame armour, with a thoughtful expression on his face, shook his head and said, “What's going on? Has our Greater One Sect been too kind these years, anyone dares point their fingers at our Greater One Sect? Elder Xie, really, towards such maniacs, how could he let him go unpunished?”

Ye Qingyu roughly also understood the other person’s identity and purpose of coming. His complexion darkened a little, as he said, “Get lost. I am now in a bad mood, if you don't want to die, don’t anger me.”
