The Holy Emperor walked Li Nianfan to the entrance of the Fallen Town.
Li Nianfan said, “Holy Emperor, you’re a cultivator yourself, too. If possible, please help me take care of Nanan.”
“No problem, Mr. Li. I will for sure.” The Holy Emperor instantly nodded.
“Thank you! See you soon.”
After making sure that Li Nianfan could no longer see him, the Holy Emperor raised his hand and started slapping himself.
One on the left cheek, another on the right cheek, then another one on the left…
Slap! Slap! Slap!
Three slaps rang in the air—clear and crisp!
“Idiot! I’m an idiot!” The Holy Emperor cried out through his gritted teeth. He wanted to cry!
He knew about Nanan, and he also knew how much the expert liked her. How could he let such a big opportunity slip past him!
What a miss! What a huge loss!
That was his autograph! And it was about his identity which contained the truth about longevity! That was a priceless treasure! A shockingly huge opportunity!
Besides that, though Nanan only had Inferior Spiritual Root, she had the expert on her back!
She would clearly become a bigshot one day!
‘How could I miss out on such an opportunity? My brain is so useless! Do I even need my brain!?’
Luo Shiyu tried to comfort him. “Dad, let it go. The expert must have his reasons. Now that we know, it’s not too late to assist him.”
The Holy Emperor sighed. “Well, that’s all we can do for now.”
Suddenly, his face changed colours. The momentum in his body soared as he transformed into light and flew to the northeast side of the town.
“Who are you! How dare you invade my Ganlong Immortal Dynasty!?” the Holy Emperor growled as he chased after them. He was extremely furious. He travelled as fast as he had ever travelled before. He was anxious since he had just promised Li Nianfan to take good care of Nanan. Yet, at that moment, Nanan was about to be captured by this man! He might as well take his life!
No way! He could not afford to let Nanan get hurt!
He told himself that no matter what it took, he had to save Nanan! Even if he had to use up all of his Spiritual Qi!
The black shadow travelled very fast, too. He turned into a black mist with Nanan and vanished into the darkness.
“Holy Emperor, you’re not even related to this girl. Why chase after her?” the black shadow flashed a cold smile as his evil voice rang in the air.
“Demon Man!” the Holy Emperor called out his name through his gritted teeth. “Let go of Nanan now and I’ll let you go! If not, I’ll chase after you and kill you!”
He was furious! This Demon Man was such an idiot! He had no idea how foolish he was being! Although this girl was not related to him, she was a very important person to him!
“Haha! You’re chasing after me because of the expert, eh?” the Demon Man scoffed. “You want to use this to impress the expert?”
“You know nothing! You have no idea who you’ve offended!” the Holy Emperor jeered. “It’s not too late now to stop this! You might still stand a chance to live! You can’t imagine what kind of existence the expert lives in!”
“Haha! So scary!” The Demon Man could not help laughing out loud. “Of course, I know he’s not an ordinary man judging by the words he wrote. But an existence beyond imagination? Haha! I can certainly imagine him being an old Mahayala realm monster who had a successful Cross Tribulation. He managed to transform into a human but is still unable to become an Immortal.”
“What a toad in the well! A toad in the well!” The Holy Emperor’s face flushed red. Being ignorant was so scary! It could cost someone one’s life!
Ignorant idiot!
A Mahayala realm cultivator’s words were not comparable to even a strand of the expert’s hair!
The both of them were Out of Aperture cultivators. The speed they travelled at was like a meteor flashing through the sky.
Soon, they went into a forest.
The Demon Man slowed his pace as he landed on a huge stone. He tossed Nanan to a tree by the side and turned around. He looked at the Holy Emperor and said, amused, “You don’t give up easily, do you? So annoying like a fly!”
The Holy Emperor frowned as an ominous premonition rose in his heart. Either way, he said, “Demon Man! This girl isn’t someone you can touch! I’ll be frank, this expert is way beyond an Immortal. It’s highly likely that he’s already gained Wisdom!”
“Gained Wisdom? Hmm… Hahaha!”
The Demon Man could not help laughing breathlessly. It was as if he had just heard the best joke in the world. He shook his head. “Holy Emperor, do you know what you’re talking about? At least make up a better lie than this. Already gained Wisdom? How so? Do his thoughts come true and is his word the law? Even the Immortals can’t do that! Why would an existence like this even come to our realm?”
“You’re helpless. Helpless!” The Holy Emperor shook his head. He reached out with his hands as a red flame lit up the night sky like a long chain of fire that was about to engulf the Demon Man.
The Demon Man merely scoffed. He reached out his right hand and a black flag appeared. This flag seemed broken and it had some holes on it. Once it was fully unrolled, a disgusting smell was unleashed along with the howling sounds of monsters.
The stench radiated from the flag in waves, forming a protective barrier around the Demon Man.
The fire chain circled the black smoke like a python before increasing its speed and finally catching it.
Tzz…
The fire chain and the black smoke collided, eliciting a sharp sound. Both forces halted.
“Sacrifice Blood Flag!”
The Holy Emperor’s face darkened. “Demon Man! Why would you harm the innocent? How dare you use that move! Damn it!”
“Hehe! I heard that the Ganlong Immortal Dynasty’s Dragon Fire is the nemesis of all evil. It’s no big deal!” The Demon Man laughed as his black smoke filled the sky.
The black smoke twisted into a long and slender snake, swimming toward the Holy Emperor!
“Damn it!” the Holy Emperor growled as he raised his left hand. A flaming red bowl appeared in his palm.
The bowl rotated slowly, casting a bright ray of light on the black smoke. Instantly, the bright light shot out of the bowl and dispersed the smokey snake.
Burning flames started pouring out of the bowl, merging with the fire chain to form a gigantic flaming dragon!
The gigantic dragon was much bigger than the fire chain. It started surrounding the back smoke. The dragon’s head was high up in the sky. Looking down at the black smoke, it let out a gust of dragon fire!
Roar!
Burning red flames engulfed the black smoke as the ground around them turned into a sea of fire.
Tzzz!
The black smoke sizzled as it rolled in its darkness as if it was evaporating.
“Dad!”
Luo Shiyu and Zhongxiu finally made it. When they arrived at the scene, they let out a sigh in relief. It appeared that they were winning!
“Shiyu, go and save Nanan,” the Holy Emperor said.
Luo Shiyu nodded and went straight to Nanan.
However, just as her hand was about to touch Nanan, a string of black smoke penetrated through the flames. It turned into a black chain, capturing Luo Shiyu.
“Muahahaha!”
The Demon Man’s devilish laugh came from inside the flame, sounding as if he had successfully captured his prey.
The Holy Emperor jolted. He asked in disbelief, “How could this be?”
“Holy Emperor, did you really think I’d come unprepared?” the Demon Man jeered coldly, sending the Holy Emperor deeper into despair.
He looked around and realized that his surroundings were darker than usual. It was not the night sky—it was pure darkness!
He looked up and saw that even the moon was no longer visible!
“Formation?” the Holy Emperor cried out through his gritted teeth.
He did not know when it happened, but he found that they were engulfed in thick, black smoke. They were completely surrounded.
Click, click, click!
Footsteps were heard coming from within the forest. Three cultivators dressed in black robes then walked out. They looked at the Holy Emperor with ill-intent.
“Hahaha! Oh, Holy Emperor! How foolish of you to risk your life for a girl you don’t even know! How foolish!” the Demon Man laughed. “Now, not only have you been captured, even your wife and daughter have been captured by me!”
The Holy Emperor’s face sank. Without speaking, his hands moved rapidly to destroy the formation!
Humm!
The bowl in his hand vibrated vigorously, letting out a loud hum.
Vroom!
A gigantic flame exploded like a volcano, soaring into the sky before landing right in the black smoke.
Tzz…
The black smoke started to disperse. The flame was burning bright and hot, ready to crack open the surrounding darkness.
“Hmph!” the Demon Man scoffed. He swung the Sacrifice Blood Flag with his hand.
Instantly, the dispersing smoke started to condense, floating toward the Holy Emperor. Without a sound, the black smoke transformed into ten or so black chains, trapping the Holy Emperor and Zhong Xiu.
The Holy Emperor could not help asking, “Demon Man, do reconsider. Are you sure about becoming an enemy of the expert?”
“Hahaha! I already decided from the moment I attacked!” the Demon Man laughed. He jeered, “The Immortal Realm is so huge. I can go anywhere! Also, are you sure he’ll fight me because of you?”
The Holy Emperor shook his head and said coldly, “An ignorant person is always fearless! If the expert wants to kill you, he can easily kill you with just a thought!”
“What a joke! I’m standing right here. If he’s as powerful as you say he is, why hasn’t he come to save you?” the Demon Man said victoriously. He tightened his grip on the flag and swung it again.
Roar!
A loud roar erupted from within the black smoke as it rushed toward the Holy Emperor and Zhong Xiu.
Vroom!
Both of them were shocked by the black smoke, losing their ability to fight.
“Dad!” Luo Shiyu cried out with terror on her face. She was engulfed by the black smoke, too.
“Hahaha! Don’t be afraid, my beautiful girl. Let me take good care of you,” the Demon Man scoffed with an obscene look on his face as he looked at Luo Shiyu. “Holy Emperor, I’ve yet to thank you for travelling all the way here just to deliver your daughter and wife to me.”
He was growing impatient with such beauties in front of him, but he did not forget about the important matter at hand. He walked to Nanan…
