Imperial God Emperor (Web Novel)
chapter-790

Feng Silong was the person who most understood Her Highness of the Phoenix Race. To be able to see a glimmer of gentleness in her eyes and have that kind of ambiguous dialogue with a man was simply more unbelievable than seeing the ancestors of the Phoenix Race that existed thousands of years ago being resurrected.

Could it be that Her Highness has fallen for him?

In shock, Feng Silong thought of another possibility, and all of a sudden an even more astonished expression came onto his face. He once again carefully studied Ye Qingyu, repeatedly and attentively looking at him. Then a storm and raging waves were set off in his heart.

He actually felt a glimmer of the aura of Phoenix from the young man.

How could this be?

What had happened between Her Highness and the young man called Ye Qingyu in the 18th district?

Has a relationship already... already... already started?

Heavens!

This was a huge thing.

If this were true, the whole Phoenix Race would go crazy.

Feng Silong’s eyes wandered back and forth between the two, forcibly suppressing his puzzlement and the question in his throat because this matter absolutely could not be revealed. He had no choice but to ask Her Highness clearly later. With this worry in mind, he finally soared into air with the Celestial Phoenix Maiden and instantly disappeared in the distant Void.

On Fierce Beast Peak, there were only three people left.

“Big brother Ye Qingyu, will we see each other again?” On the other side, Fatty Sheng Yan lowered his voice to a gentle and sweet tone.

Ye Qingyu threw a very disdainful narrowed-eyed glance at him, “What, without me protecting you in the future, do you think you will survive?”

Fatty Sheng Yan immediately put his hands on his hips, like an oval teapot, as he looked up and let out a full belly laugh, “Hahaha... I, Sheng Yan, am also someone who had successfully come out of the Door of Darkness. I am blessed with the luck of Heaven and earth. Would I need others to protect me? Besides, the ancestor of my Li clan has returned to the top. Haha, this sky and land will be named Li soon. My ancestor has returned, who would dare to challenge him? In the future, if there's anything you need then just tell me, and this little brother of yours will cover you.”

The fatty's attitude could be described as extremely arrogant.

Ye Qingyu did not know whether to cry or laugh.

But on second thought, what fatty had said was indeed right. Four thousands years ago, [Quasi-emperor Xiaofei] was already an invincible existence in the world. Four thousands years had past, and now that he had emerged from the mountain again, his first battle had already showed off his true powers, and it was clear that there were most likely only a few who could contend against Li Xiaofei.

This fatty who had the protection of a Quasi-emperor indeed could act domineering and tyrannical.

“Big brother, don't worry, although I have now found my ancestor, and my status has soared, hahaha, but you are still my big brother. I, Sheng Yan, will not forget your great kindness and how many times you had saved me...” Sheng Yan said firmly and in a very serious attitude, but after the first half of the sentence, he changed the topic and revealed a vulgar smile, “When I have great achievements in the future, I will certainly bring you success, a dog and chicken can also rise to heaven!”

This...

You are the chicken and dog rising to the heavens.

Ye Qingyu did not know whether to laugh or cry.

This Sheng Yan was still so not serious. He though that he wanted to say goodbye to him, but instead, in the end, he revealed an unseemly expression. Ye Qingyu knew that, although this brother of his seemed disrespectful and frivolous, he was definitely a kind-hearted and loyal man, which was clear from the way he would rather die than to leave his ancestor in the grey bronze temple. To be able to have a brother like him, Ye Qingyu was also very happy.

“Well, then I'll wait for you to take me to the heavens.” Ye Qingyu patted the fatty on the shoulder.

The fatty grinned.

His smile was filled with gratitude towards Ye Qingyu.

Because he was very clear that, if it were not for Ye Qingyu, let alone saving his ancestor, he would be buried in the 18th district. If this really were the case, then the Li clan would have lost all of its descendants and would completely disappear as a result. Moreover, the choice that Ye Qingyu made at that time was also a great risk and he was almost also killed in the killing intent.

This really was tantamount to a life of friendship.

On the other side, [Quasi-emperor Xiaofei] was still looking at the two indifferently.

And his gaze was lingering more on Ye Qingyu. In the depths of his eyes there was a glimmer of a smiling expression, as well as a hint of curiosity. But this expression would never be seen by others.

“Elder, take care.” Ye Qingyu bowed respectfully to [Quasi-emperor Xiaofei].

Li Xiaofei nodded, approval in his eyes as he said, “Little guy, you saved me once. I owe you a favour. If there is something you need help with in the future, you can come find me directly with this item, I will sort out everything for you.” As he was speaking, he handed a green robe to Ye Qingyu.

It was the tattered robe that he was wearing as he was escaping before.

"”Thank you elder.” Ye Qingyu's eyes lit up.

“In the future the wanted list of the Domain Alliance will no longer be able to recognize you.” Li Xiaofei seemed to know what Ye Qingyu was worried about.

With this promise from [Quasi-emperor Xiaofei], Ye Qingyu let out a long sigh of relief.

That's good, there will be a lot less trouble during the next operation.

In the end, [Quasi-emperor Xiaofei] and the bald fatty also left.

When everyone was gone, Ye Qingyu finally could not help a hint of anxiety coming to his eye. The Black Demon Abyss assessment really was too torturous. He had to go through so many twists and turns just to get his hands on a few Black Demon Herbs, and did not expect to have wasted so much time in the Black Demon Abyss. Moreover, he did not know what the situation was with the rest of the Heaven Wasteland diplomatic corps. He had to quickly catch up with them.

With a thought, he activated the power of chaotic lightning and thunder, grew a pair of purple lightning wings on his back and soared skywards.

It was safe around the area of Fierce Beast Peak.

After an hour, Ye Qingyu descended onto the Taowu Mountain Range.

The Taowu Mountain Range, where danger lurked on every side, was now completely silent, without the slightest shadow or movement. Ye Qingyu was a bit surprised at the beginning, but later on after another thought he knew that it must have been because the power that [Quasi-emperor Xiaofei] had shown in that battle was too terrifying and had frightened everybody out of their wits. They were no longer lingering around and had retreated far away.

Half a day later.

Ye Qingyu had very smoothly left Black Demon Abyss.

He did not encounter any further obstacles along the way.

Moreover, even if he had passed through some bustling places, no one had noticed his true identity. It seemed that, as Li Xiaofei had said, the wanted list was no longer able to detect Ye Qingyu's presence. It was most likely because the Quasi-emperor had used some sort of technique to obstruct the detection of the Domain Alliance's wanted list.

On the way, he had asked a number of experts from other cities and learned about the situation of the Heaven Wasteland diplomatic corps. What made him feel slightly reassured was that everything seemed to be going well, and the Heaven Wasteland diplomatic corps had already passed the checkpoints of the seven great cities and was moving towards the tenth city of chaos.

As a little unknown domain, Heaven Wasteland Domain was able to pass through seven cities in one breath in half a month, showing unexpected strength and potential. This news also caused quite a stir.

Hearing this information, Ye Qingyu felt that his heart was bursting with joy.

He activated his yuan qi and frantically moved forward.

And just as he was constantly traveling through a number of giant cities, everything that happened on Fierce Beast Peak quickly spread like wildfire among the nineteen cities of chaos, and began to sweep through the whole world like a storm.

In particular, the death of [Iron Heart Blood Saint] Yang Tianwu and the appearance of the peerless experts could be said to be center of the storm.

There were all kinds of rumours.

It was said that an unknown skinny old man, who was like a dying flickering candle in the wind, had instantly killed the Saint expert Yang Tainwu, a top expert of one of the greatest forces, the Jade Pearl Sect, of an upper domain despite not exuding the slightest ripple of strength. It was as easy as though he was slaughtering a chicken.

As the news emerged, it shook the world.

Throughout the road of chaos, the people of the great cities, including the experts of the Chaotic Sky City and Domain Alliance, were all speculating on the identity of the old man who possessed strength that defy the natural order.

It could be said that the various suspicions and legends regarding the identity of the old man had long completely suppressed the news that the heaven's pridelings of the major forces had successfully came out from the 18th district.

Many well-informed super forces had vaguely guessed the identity of the peerless expert, and were all simply shocked by the speculation. They had begun to quietly lay out their plan, aware that a huge change was about to come. In particular, the forces that had once made things difficult for the descendants of Quasi-emperor Li were in a panic like stray dogs.

A storm, under the seemingly calm situation, was silent brewing.

Time flew by.

In the blink of an eye three days had past.

Ye Qingyu quickened his pace to catch up and came to the eighth city of chaos——Ancient Banyan City.

Ancient Banyan City, although said to be a city, was in fact a city built in the hole and among the branches of a giant ancient banyan tree. The branch grew roots and the roots sprouted branches and leaves. It was as if it had been standing since the beginning when Heaven and earth was created, constantly growing branches and leaves, which then turned into roots. After millions of years, it had formed a tremendous tree city that covered a distance of hundreds of thousands of kilometers.

Walking in the city, Ye Qingyu could not help but marvel at the power of nature in the world of chaos.

The treetops were as huge as umbrellas and the dense leaves and branches blocked the rays of light. On both sides of the winding road, the aerial roots that connected Heaven and earth was more than thousands of meters high, and the thinnest branches and leaves also required at least two or three people to fully encircle it.

In addition to the Ancient Banyan Race and various spiritual beasts and creatures that had been living and multiplying in the city, there were also other races here for trade.

The Ancient Banyan City that was surrounded by greenery was like a green sea compared to the dark and vast Black Demon Abyss.

Originally, Ye Qingyu only intended to take a break in Ancient Banyan City before he continued ahead in order to meet up with the Heaven Wasteland diplomatic corps as early as possible. However, just as he was passing a market where buildings and stalls were also built from branches, he overheard some of the dialogues between the passersby. He learned that there will be a large-scale auction event in the city soon and at that time there would not only be countless rare pills and medicines, but also divine weapons and treasures.

“If I wasn't in a hurry, I'd really like to go to the auction and get some good treasures... such a grand event must be rare. Perhaps there would be some rare treasures there.”

Ye Qingyu was very curious about the event.

Ever since he had seen the treasures sold in the [REfine Armour] store in Sunrise City, he had gained a great deal of interest in the items in the cities of chaos.

Suddenly, among the crowd there were two experts whose figures were almost transformed into a humanoid shape but still retained some of the spirit and characteristics unique to the Spiritual Bird Race, brushed past Ye Qingyu.

It was normal to be jostled in a crowded market, but what caught Ye Qingyu’s attention was what they were whispering to each other.

“Why didn't you go to Secluded Mountain Manor today and instead came for a stroll in this little market?”

“What? I didn't hear there was a good business these two days.”

“Haha, it seems that you receive news much slower than I do.”

“Don't beat around the bush, hurry up and say it.”

“Some days ago, a little lowly domain, I think it was called something Wasteland...Yes, Heaven Wasteland Domain. They come to us to participate in the domain rating. I heard that something unexpected had happened and they were completely defeated...”
