"Lin Feng, today is Qi Yan's wedding ceremony. There are tensions between us and Tiantai, and we initially intended to forget about those today, but in the end, you injured Bi Yao and humiliated Qi Yan. Since that's that case, we have to kill you." said Emperor Dong to Lin Feng.
"Emperor Dong!" said Emperor Yu suddenly standing up. He smiled indifferently and said, "Emperor Dong, the Qi Clan and Tiantai are enemies, indeed. You don't need any excuses to kill Lin Feng, I just hope that you will not forget the emperors' rules though. You're a senior cultivator so you cannot attack my disciples. Otherwise, I can guarantee that the Qi Empire and the Qi Clan will get destroyed."
"If I attacked him, he'd die in a second. I won't violate the rules however. No matter, I can tell you that Lin Feng won't leave the Qi Empire alive today. If you want to get involved, I won't refrain from joining as well." said Emperor Dong. The six soldiers then instantly released abstruse energies again.
At that moment, the crowd was wondering whether Emperor Dong had organized everything for Emperor Shi to show up in the Qi Empire.
"Alright." said Emperor Dong. He looked at Emperor Yu and the others then said, "Kill!"
"Boom!" Qi instantly dashed to the skies. The six soldiers' energies were terrifying together.
"Cough, cough…" at that moment, the earth soldier coughed after suddenly feeling weak.
"What's going on?" A cultivator of the ninth Zun Qi layer couldn't possibly get sick.
"The others' Qi is also weakening!" the crowd frowned.
"What's going on?" Emperor Dong frowned.
"Your Highness, maybe they've been poisoned!" replied someone.
Cultivators couldn't be affected by ordinary poison. Poisons which could affect those cultivators had to be extremely powerful. Poison cultivation was extremely rare, like the sorcerer's arts. Poisoners were even rarer than alchemists.
Lin Feng looked at the six soldiers and frowned. Suddenly, he also felt like he had no strength. It was as if he couldn't control his strength anymore.
"Oh no!" Lin Feng knew about medicinal pills, and he also knew that only some incredible beasts could poison enemies.
Maybe that it was poison, a terrifying one that even emperors hadn't even noticed.
"Emperor Dong!" Many people looked at the alcohol on the tables. The Emperors might have drunk the poison too!
"Everybody, I'm like you!" said Emperor Dong. He then looked at the crowd and said, "Someone made us drink a terrifying poison!"
Everybody was concerned, but they were skeptical though. Who would want to poison them? And that poison was extremely rare and dangerous, the emperors' reaction proved just how poisonous it was.
"Who did it!" yelled Emperor Dong while releasing terrifying energies.
The atmosphere became extremely calm. The crowd could even hear the wind blowing.
It was eerily calm.
"That poisoner must be stronger than me." said Emperor Dan. "But all the emperors have been poisoned too. On top of that, if he dared poison us, it means he's terrifyingly strong."
The emperors were being affected by that poison but could still release powerful energies. That poison wasn't lethal, it just restrained their strength a little.
Some time passed and nobody showed up. The atmosphere remained eerily silent.
"Emperor Dan, can't you concoct a pill to cure us?" asked Emperor Dong. Emperor Dan shook his head and said, "No, I can't and concocting pills needs time anyways."
Lin Feng and the others all fell down to the ground. Lin Feng tried to remain determined, but the situation was becoming dangerous.
"Someone is coming!" said someone as everyone's attention turned towards the distance. A group of people were climbing up the stairs. Their silhouettes flickered, and they were as fast as lightning. The guards didn't even stop them.
"Xiao Yan!" Emperor Yan looked surprised.
"Peng Ze!" another emperor recognized someone else.
"Chang Feng!"
Emperor Deva-Mara frowned and looked at that person in a strange way.
The crowd was getting nearer and nearer. Xiao Yan went to Emperor Yan. Chang Feng came to Emperor Deva-Mara.
"Slash!" those people knelt down before different emperors and shouted, "Teacher!"
"Chang Feng… you're back!" said Emperor Deva-Mara, allowing that young man to stand up. He smiled happily and said, "Great, you're at the top of the ninth Zun Qi layer, very top even, right?"
"Teacher, I'm about to break through to the Huang Qi layer." said that young man with sharp lights in his eyes.
"Alright, very good." said Emperor Deva-Mara smiling happily.
"Those geniuses were considered cultivation monsters a hundred years ago and now surprisingly, they're back. Besides, they are all about to break through to the Huang Qi layer." explained Emperor Yu to Lin Feng and the others. Lin Feng was amazed, a hundred years before? They had been to the Holy City and now they were finally back.
But Emperor Yu frowned as if he had been thinking about something.
"Teacher, can you help me break through to the Huang Qi layer?" asked Xiao Yan to Emperor Yan.
"How can I help you?" asked Emperor Yan smiling in a resplendent way. Emperor Yan would be happy if he could help.
"Teacher, look at my current strength." said Xiao Yan releasing fire energies. His flames contained black fissures inside them.
"Cosmic energies, you can already control cosmic energies!" Emperor Yan was incredulous. His disciple was at the very top of the Zun Qi layer and controlled cosmic energies. He was about to break through to the Huang Qi layer.
"You just need to control your force better." said Emperor Yan. He was trying to think of a solution to help his disciple.
"Teacher, look at my cosmic energy attacks." said Xiao Yan smiling. Emperor Yan nodded. Xiao Yan raised his hands and attacked Emperor Yan.
Emperor Yan was still smiling, he didn't realize what was going on. However, when the cosmic energy attack crashed onto Emperor Yan's body, he suddenly looked petrified. He suddenly realized something was amiss. What was his beloved disciple doing?
