Chapter 1244: Compensation

The scene took all the Martial Emperor’s disciples and followers of Lost Stone Forest who rushed here by surprise.

Many people even began to rub their eyes vigorously as though they wanted to make sure their eyes did not deceive them.

In just a blink of an eye, the three Martial Emperor’s direct disciples were killed by the harmless-looking white-clad little girl who did not look older than ten years old.

Soon after, colors drained from the faces of some onlookers. Some even cried out loud in surprise, “What?! They’re the Martial Emperor’s direct disciples?”

These people came here to participate in the Selection of the Martial Emperor’s disciples and followers that was going to be held by Lost Stone Forest. At first, they only wanted to join in the fun and see what the consequences were for trespassing into Lost Stone Forest.

Who knew they would witness this scene that would be forever etched in their minds?

The moment the little girl who did not look older than ten years old vanished from her spot, a bloody hole appeared on all the three huge young and middle-aged men’s throat before they died.

Such a scene was extremely shocking to them.

Although they were in shock, they did not feel that it was inconceivable.

After all, in their opinion, that little girl might be a powerful demon who had transformed into a human. Her real age might even rival their grandmothers’ age.

However, the moment they learned of the identities of the three men who were killed from the Martial Emperor’s disciples and followers, they were all horrified and dumbfounded.

The three men who were killed were the Martial Emperor’s direct disciples?

They were here to join the Selection of the Martial Emperor’s disciples and followers so they naturally had quite an understanding of the term ‘Martial Emperor’s direct disciples’.

A Martial Emperor’s direct disciple was usually a genius who had yet to flourish, someone overflowing with talent or someone at the peak of the Martial Monarch Stage and had strength that surpassed most people below the Martial Emperor Stage.

However, today, those three people had been killed by a little girl, whom they suspected was a demon who had transformed into a human, before they even realized what was happening.

“A Demon Emperor! She must be a Demon Emperor!”

“She killed three Martial Emperor’s direct disciples in just a blink of an eye! She must be an Emperor Stage powerhouse!”

“Oh, gosh! Why would a Demon Emperor trespass into our Lost Stone Forest and kill three of the Martial Emperor’s direct disciples?”

“From their exchange earlier, it seems like they’re here for Lord Martial Emperor.”

“Could it be they’re actually enemies of Lord Martial Emperor?”

Many Martial Emperor’s disciples and followers and those people who came to participate in the Selection of the Martial Emperor’s disciples and followers buried their heads together in discussion. It was extremely lively.

The eyes they used to look at the white-clad little girl in the distance had completely changed as well.

“Why isn’t Lord Martial Emperor here yet?” Some of the Martial Emperor’s disciples and followers were perplexed. They believed their Lost Stone Forest’s Lord Martial Emperor should have already learned about what happened here.

At this moment when some of the Martial Emperor’s disciples and followers’ minds were filled with thousands of questions, a voice that seemed to resonate from all directions entered everyone’s ear

“Who are you? Why did you trespass into my Lost Stone Forest and kill three of my direct disciples?” A figure appeared before the crowd along with the slightly glum voice.

Based on his words, it was clear who it was that had spoken.

Martial Emperor Shi Qi!

The moment this person appeared, Han Xue Nai and Little White shifted their attention to him immediately, raising their eyebrows. Han Xue Nai asked calmly, “Martial Emperor Shi Qi?”

“That’s right! I’m Martial Emperor Shi Qi.” Martial Emperor Shi Qi’s piercing eyes gleamed. He was completely consumed with flames of fury.

He only had five direct disciples.

One of them had deceived him and fled after stealing his thing. Currently, another three were dead. This meant he was only left with one direct disciple.

To be honest, he was not particularly concerned about the life-and-death of his direct disciples.

However, he cared a lot about his prestige and image.

If the other Martial Emperors and Demon Emperors knew that four out of five direct disciples under his, Martial Emperor Shi Qi, command were dead, they would definitely burst out laughing.

“Don’t you think the two of you owe me a compensation since you trespassed into my Lost Stone Forest and killed my direct disciples?” Martial Emperor Shi Qi asked in a deep voice.

Since the white-clad little girl was able to kill three of his direct disciples so quickly, it meant that she was an Emperor Stage powerhouse.

The other yellow-clad teenage girl who seemed like the leader of the duo was most likely stronger than the white-clad little girl.

Due to this reason, he felt that these two people must be Emperor Stage powerhouses!

Moreover, they had to be Demon Emperors too.

“Compensation?” Before Han Xue Nai opened her mouth, Little White snorted before she smirked. “Don’t you think you should compensate me for asking me to compensate you?”

Since Martial Emperor Shi Qi was quite certain the white-clad little girl was a Demon Emperor, he did not dare to underestimate her even though she looked young. He asked in a deep voice, “What do you mean?”

“What do we mean?” This time, it was Han Xue Nai who smirked instead. “You’re Martial Emperor Shi Qi right? Did I hear that more than six months ago, your direct disciple named Zhou Yi or something snatched away my Brother Ling Tian’s woman? And we haven’t heard from my Brother Ling Tian ever since he came to your Lost Stone Forest… Today, if you don’t give me an explanation, I’ll send you to the other world to accompany your three direct disciples!”

When Han Xue Nai reached the end of her sentence, a piercing light appeared in her bright eyes as though she was about to devour a certain somebody.

Zhou Yi?

Brother Ling Tian’s woman?

At this moment, Martial Emperor Shi Qi had an inkling about what was happening. He finally understood this yellow-clad teenage girl and white-clad little girl’s intention. It was all for the sake of that purple-clad young man who caused a ruckus in his Lost Stone Forest more than six months ago.

The moment he thought of that purple-clad young man, he was instantly consumed with irritation.

Until now, when he recalled the scene that took place more than six months ago, he was still consumed with a lingering fear.

That purple-clad young man who possessed a horrifying strength with the help of that mysterious stone tablet had almost killed him. That was the biggest crisis he had ever faced ever since he broke through to the Martial Emperor Stage.

If it was not for the purple-clad young man’s sudden departure, he would not be standing here.

“Zhou Yi again!” The moment Martial Emperor Shi Qi recalled this incident, he thought of Zhou Yi again. He gnashed his teeth in hatred.

In his opinion, this incident was caused by Zhou Yi. If Zhou Yi did not snatch the purple-clad young man’s woman away, there would not be so many incidents that happened one after another.

What was worst was the fact that Zhou Yi had deceived him and switched the mysterious stone tablet that the purple-clad young man left behind. This was no doubt the biggest provocation he had ever encountered.

Martial Emperor Shi Qi felt irritated again the second he thought about Zhou Yi who was now hidden somewhere, studying that stone tablet.

Although Martial Emperor Shi Qi knew what happened, he naturally would not obediently disclose everything to Han Xue Nai. He snorted before he snapped in irritation, “Hurmph! I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
