Are we all one family?
The words seed to carry a deeper aning, drawing the attention of many.
The Saint Emperor laughed heartily, "Haha, well said, 'Are we all one family?' I like to hear that, but before the Sealing Ceremony, our Holy Capital's Heaven-breaking Stele was taken by soone. This matter has been spreading in our Holy Capital, I'm sure all of you are aware!"
As the words fell, many turned their gaze towards Ye Qingcheng. Who wouldn't know about this? The peerless goddess ascended to the summit of the Heaven-breaking Ladder, controlling the powerful Heaven-breaking Stele, even Martial Venerable had to give way. In the Holy Capital, it was a true legend.
However, it was strange why the Saint Emperor brought this up during the Sealing Ceremony. They had heard very clearly that day; the Saint Emperor allowed Ye Qingcheng to take the Heaven-breaking Stele away. Could it be that he regretted it now?
Could such a Great Emperor really go back on his word?
Yet, it was understandable. The Heaven-breaking Stele originally belonged to the Holy Capital and was such a fearso divine weapon. How could the Saint Emperor hand it over to soone else?
Then, the Saint Emperor continued, "I know I said before that the Saintess of Haotian Sect could take it, and of course, as the emperor, my word is my bond. Naturally, I won't regret it, but I'm curious as to how Saintess Ye Qingcheng was able to control the Heaven-breaking Stele. How could such a colossal object be controlled by you, even though I don't have that ability?"
These words caused many to look oddly at the Saint Emperor. Did he just want to know how Ye Qingcheng controlled the Heaven-breaking Stele?
Even Zai Ling Yun couldn't help but show a aningful smile, considering that perhaps the Saint Emperor had other intentions.
At this mont, many shifted their gaze again to Ye Qingcheng, seemingly waiting to see what decision she would make. Would she really reveal the thod to control the Heaven-breaking Stele, and what would be the consequences if she did?
However, before Ye Qingcheng could speak, Jian Chen stepped forward and said indifferently, "Does the Saint Emperor only seek the code for the Heaven-breaking Stele?"
The code for the Heaven-breaking Stele?
Could it be that controlling the Heaven-breaking Stele only requires a set of codes? In that case, as long as Ye Qingcheng handed over the code, wouldn't anyone be able to control the Heaven-breaking Stele?
The Heaven-breaking Stele indeed has a code.
The Saint Emperor was also pleased in his heart. As expected, as long as he obtained the code for the Heaven-breaking Stele, who else in the Immortal Realm would be his opponent?
Of course, the aning behind Jian Chen's words naturally contained other implications, which the Saint Emperor could also hear.
He spoke, "What does the Sword Venerable an by this? Do you think I'm such a petty person, greedy for the Heaven-breaking Stele?"
"Aren't you?" Ye Qingcheng interjected, her voice cold. This made the Saint Emperor's brows furrow slightly, while Ye Qingcheng continued, "I can reveal the code, but..."
"But what?" the Saint Emperor asked.
"Let us leave safely!" Ye Qingcheng's voice remained indifferent. Many people looked at Ye Qingcheng with suspicion, while the Demon Emperor showed disdain, thinking she was naive to believe that revealing the code would grant them safety from the Saint Emperor.
Of course, this was just what the Demon Emperor thought, without voicing it.
The Saint Emperor laughed heartily, "The Saintess' words seem to see
in a different light. Would I, as the emperor, make things difficult for you over just a set of codes?"
"I hope you an what you say!" Ye Qingcheng's beautiful eyes flashed, and Saint Potian remarked with a smile, "My royal father is the ruler of a nation, known for keeping his word, and standing before all the major forces, he will naturally honor his words!"
"What if, after the Haotian Sect's Saintess reveals the code, the Saint Emperor kills to silence us? Who could stop him?" Xiao Jiu spoke with a sarcastic smile, making Saint Potian's expression turn cold, while Xiao Jiu continued, "Did I say sothing wrong?"
Crack~
Upon hearing this, the others present were suddenly filled with dread. They hadn't considered this possibility: would the Saint Emperor really kill to silence witnesses if Ye Qingcheng revealed the code?
After all, it was a serious matter, and the Saint Emperor might indeed do so.
"You're quite the joker!" The Saint Emperor exuded a smile, as if bathed in spring sunshine, continuing, "I, as the Great Emperor of the Holy Capital, could hardly be such a faithless person?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Jiu showed a disdainful smile.
The Saint Emperor looked at Ye Qingcheng, his expression rather gentle, and continued, "Could it be..."
"I trust you!" Ye Qingcheng bluntly interrupted the Saint Emperor.
Shhh~
With these words, many eyes fell on Ye Qingcheng, showing an unpleasant expression. If she spoke out, what would the consequences be? Would the Saint Emperor really dare to kill them all and risk offending the other four emperors?
If he silenced witnesses, the Saint Emperor would beco the enemy of the entire Immortal Realm.
But then again, if the Saint Emperor controlled the Heaven-breaking Stele, would he fear the other four emperors?
At this mont, the others from the other four capitals hoped Ye Qingcheng would not reveal the code for the Heaven-breaking Stele. If she didn't, their lives could be safeguarded until their Immortal Kingdom emperors arrived, which could change the situation.
"Saintess!" Di Tian expressed panic, "Do you really intend to reveal the code?"
"Indeed!" Ye Qingcheng's voice was cold as she looked toward the Saint Emperor.
The Saint Emperor said, "You can whisper the code to ."
"No need!" Ye Qingcheng's expression was as cold as ever. She continued, "If the Saint Emperor just wants the code and has no other intentions regarding the Heaven-breaking Stele, then even if I say it out loud, I trust the Saint Emperor wouldn't mind, right?"
"Huh?" Upon hearing this, a trace of coldness flickered in the Saint Emperor's eyes, but it quickly vanished. He didn't expect Ye Qingcheng to say it out loud; this ant everyone inside and outside the hall would know the code for the Heaven-breaking Stele.
Zai Ling Yun, the Demon Emperor, Mo Qingfeng, Luoyun Sect, and Jiuxian Immortal Sect mbers were all baffled. They didn't want to know any nonsense codes; their priority was survival. If Ye Qingcheng said the code out loud in front of everyone, what it would an didn't need to be explained.
Just then, Jiuxian He's voice erged, "Saintess Qingcheng, I think it more appropriate if you tell the Saint Emperor privately. We don't want to know, and after all, what great enmity do we have with you for you to do this to us?"
"Yeah, Saintess, we don't want to know any nonsense codes, so don't be so polite!" Jiuxian Chengfeng added with a laugh. If everyone knew the code for the Heaven-breaking Stele, would the Saint Emperor let them go?
At this mont, even Zai Ling Yun and the Demon Emperor didn't want to hear any nonsense code. While they desired to control the Heaven-breaking Stele, would the Saint Emperor give them that chance?
