Chapter 82

"Indeed, the Human Emperor is terrifying—" At the sight of the 'Pardon' character, even the cultivators watching from afar were moved, muttering, "The Human Emperor is truly unfathomable."

Just with a 'Pardon' character, he could intimidate the nobles, which shows how terrifying the Human Emperor of the Treasure Holy Upper Country must be! As for the others from the Ancient Xiyan Sect, they all drew a sharp breath.

Just with this 'Pardon' character, one can see how terrifying the Human Emperor of the Treasure Holy Upper Country is!

"Gu Tieshou, the Emperor's decree is here, why don't you release the people!" Hou Zishan said in a deep voice, holding the imperial edict, his presence intimidating, making it hard for others to breathe.

Gu Tieshou looked at the 'Pardon' character, shook his head, and said, "Dong Shenglong and Lord Liexian are involved in the plot to destroy our Ancient Xiyan Sect. Even the Emperor's decree cannot change this! Execute!"

Gu Tieshou's words made Hou Zishan's face change drastically, and he shouted, "Gu Tieshou, do not make a mistake. If you defy the imperial edict, it will bring disaster to the Ancient Xiyan Sect!"

"Execute!" Gu Tieshou ignored him and shouted.

"Wait—" Seeing Gu Tieshou's stubbornness, Hou Zishan's face changed drastically, and he shouted. At this moment, he had to make a concession. If he couldn't take Dong Shenglong and Lord Liexian back, not only would he fail his mission, but the dignity of the Human Emperor would also be challenged.

"Gu Tieshou, I will take Dong Shenglong and Lord Liexian with me. On the day the Devil's Back Ridge opens, your Ancient Xiyan Sect will have a share." At this moment, Hou Zishan made a concession and said in a deep voice.

Hearing Hou Zishan's words, Gu Tieshou paused. The Devil's Back Ridge was too important for the Ancient Xiyan Sect.

He couldn't help but look at Li Qiyi. Li Qiyi smiled and said, "The Devil's Back Ridge is originally the territory of our Ancient Xiyan Sect. Why do we need the Treasure Holy Upper Country to grant it! Execute!"

Li Qiyi's words made Hou Zishan tremble with anger. He held the imperial edict and shouted, "Young man, do you know the gravity of the situation? If you defy the imperial edict, you will be attacked by all the sects of the Treasure Holy Upper Country!"

"A piece of broken paper, also showing off in front of me!" Li Qiyi narrowed his eyes, and as he spoke, he plucked the ancient zither in his arms.

The zither sound "Ding—" instantly a sword beam rose within the Ancient Xiyan Sect. When the sword beam fell, the imperial edict was shattered, and the 'Pardon' character was cut in half.

For a moment, everyone held their breath. Cutting the Human Emperor's imperial edict was a challenge to the Human Emperor.

At this moment, the 'Pardon' character, which had been cut in half, suddenly made a "Dang" sound, as if it were divine metal, and merged together. The 'Pardon' character instantly emitted a terrifying light. In this instant, a majestic figure appeared in the light. As soon as this figure appeared, the imperial authority surged like a huge wave, like a flood, roaring and surging, the terrifying imperial authority impacted the vast land.

Under such imperial authority, even Gu Tieshou couldn't help but retreat several steps.

"The will of the Human Emperor—" Seeing the majestic figure in the light, the cultivators watching from afar couldn't help but exclaim.

As soon as the majestic figure appeared, it suddenly opened its eyes. It seemed that these eyes were substantial, swallowing the sun and moon, floating the stars and rivers, making people tremble and bow.

"Challenging the imperial authority, execute!" As soon as the figure spoke, thunder rumbled. Before he finished speaking, he slashed down with a powerful hand, aiming to destroy Li Qiyi. The power of this slash was immense, capable of cutting down the moon in the sky and crushing all the nobles.

At this moment, Gu Tieshou was terrified, and even Li Shuangyan couldn't save Li Qiyi.

"Scram—" Li Qiyi's eyes focused, but he only shouted coldly without any action.

In this split second, with a loud "Boom," at this moment, some disciples of the Ancient Xiyan Sect couldn't bear to watch, thinking Li Qiyi would surely die a tragic death.

However, just as the slash was about to kill Li Qiyi, a giant hand came from the sky. With a loud noise, this giant hand shattered the figure. The will of the Human Emperor screamed, and a thread of law tried to escape from the giant hand, but the giant hand crushed it, and the figure of the Human Emperor instantly turned to ashes.

All this happened too quickly, and no one saw where the giant hand came from.

When this happened, on the square of the Nine Holy Demon Sect, a stone statue suddenly extended a stone hand, which spanned the heavens and reached the sky, its destination unknown!

A stone hand, spanning the heavens from the Nine Holy Demon Sect, easily crushed the will of the Human Emperor. Even the will of the Human Emperor, which could suppress the nobles, was as insignificant as ants under this giant hand.

Seeing the fleeting stone hand, Li Shuangyan, who was beside Li Qiyi, was shocked. Others didn't know what this suddenly appearing and disappearing giant hand was, but she did!

A stone hand, spanning the heavens from the Nine Holy Demon Sect, easily crushed the will of the Human Emperor. How terrifying was this!

Li Shuangyan had also heard her master, Lunri Demon Emperor, say that the four stone statues were the guardians of the Nine Holy Demon Sect, but she never knew how powerful these guardians were.

Today, Li Shuangyan finally understood how terrifying the four stone statues were. At this moment, she also understood why her master had to make a concession to Li Qiyi. What were Demon Emperors and Human Emperors compared to the four guardians, who could easily crush them!

At this moment, not only the cultivators watching from afar, but even the entire Ancient Xiyan Sect was stunned, and Hou Zishan was shocked speechless!

The will of the Human Emperor, how terrifying and astonishing, yet it was easily crushed. Who was this person!

"The Human Emperor is just that, even the Human Emperor is not worth mentioning." Li Qiyi didn't take this seriously and said with the utmost calm.

"Execute—" Li Qiyi ordered.

"No—" Dong Shenglong and Lord Liexian shouted in their dying moments. They never thought that even the Human Emperor couldn't save them today!

The disciples of the Ancient Xiyan Sect regained their senses, and with a swift stroke, they beheaded Dong Shenglong and Lord Liexian, their heads rolling far away.

In the end, the heads of Dong Shenglong and Lord Liexian were placed in wooden boxes by the disciples of the Ancient Xiyan Sect and delivered to Hou Zishan at Li Qiyi's command.

"Send a message to the Holy Sky Sect, those who obstruct my path will be killed without mercy!" Li Qiyi glanced at Hou Zishan calmly and said. After speaking, he turned and walked away slowly.

Hou Zishan's face was extremely ugly, but at this moment, he didn't dare to act rashly and hurriedly left with the heads of Dong Shenglong and Lord Liexian!

When the giant hand crushed the will of the Human Emperor of the Treasure Holy Upper Country, in the imperial city of the Treasure Holy Upper Country, a majestic and domineering man suddenly trembled, shouted in alarm, and his eyes, which were spitting divine flames, opened wide. He immediately stood up.

The man's face changed drastically, standing on the viewing platform, looking far into the horizon, as if directly seeing the location of the Ancient Xiyan Sect. For a moment, the man's expression was extremely solemn. He was the Human Emperor, once a conqueror and suppressor of all the nobles, but today, he was shaken to his core, his Dao heart fluctuating.

The man stood there, his face ugly, and remained silent for a long time. For a man of great talent and vision, who once swept through the Treasure Holy territory, today, he was easily crushed without any resistance. This was not only a great humiliation but also a grave matter for him!

"Please the Ancestor—" Finally, the man said in a deep voice, sending envoys to the Holy Sky Sect's ancestral land to seek instructions from their ancestor! This was too shocking for him.

When the stone hand of the Nine Holy Demon Sect spanned the heavens and crushed the will of the Human Emperor, the disciples of the Nine Holy Demon Sect quickly reported to Lunri Demon Emperor. When Lunri Demon Emperor received the report, he was also shocked.

In the Nine Holy Demon Sect, Lunri Demon Emperor summoned the elders, and the atmosphere in the secret room became solemn.

"The news is confirmed, our sect's stone statue spanned the heavens and crushed the will of the Human Emperor of the Treasure Holy Upper Country!" Although Lunri Demon Emperor did not show his face, his voice echoed in the secret room.

The news spread quickly in the Nine Holy Demon Sect. Such an event was known in the shortest time possible.

Such an event made the elders present look at each other, not only because it happened too suddenly but also because it was beyond their control.

"It must be Li Qiyi who invoked the guardians." An elder said in a deep voice. This was no longer a question, the answer was clear.

Not only they, but the entire Nine Holy Demon Sect, no one could invoke the four guardians except Li Qiyi. Who else could it be?

After a long silence, an elder spoke, "Our Nine Holy Demon Sect is millions of miles away from the Ancient Xiyan Sect, in different territories. A hand of the guardian can span the heavens and easily crush the will of the Human Emperor!"

The elder paused and said, "How powerful is this?"

This question made the elders present tremble, and they looked at each other. This was indeed a challenge for them. Throughout history, the Nine Holy Demon Sect had never heard of the guardians taking action. In fact, before Li Qiyi came, the elders of the Nine Holy Demon Sect did not even know they had guardians.

Spanning the heavens and crushing the will of the Human Emperor with one hand, this was a significant event.

"It's time for us to take action." When the elders were silent, Lunri Demon Emperor's voice echoed, "The conflict between the Holy Sky Sect and the Ancient Xiyan Sect should be mediated."

Hearing Lunri Demon Emperor's words, the elders present were shocked. An elder said, "Your Majesty, the Holy Sky Sect and the Ancient Xiyan Sect are mortal enemies. The Holy Sky Sect's desire to destroy the Ancient Xiyan Sect has never ceased. If our Nine Holy Demon Sect intervenes, we will be at odds with the Holy Sky Sect."
