Talisman Emperor

The expressions of Li Lufeng and the others was extremely gloomy.

Even though they were clearly aware that it was bound to be extremely difficult to deal with figures like Chen Xi and Kong Youran, they’d never imagined that such a turn would actually occur in the situation of the battle.

If they knew this would happen, they would definitely not choose to fight Chen Xi and Kong Youran.

But now that it had already occurred, it was too late for regret.

“Everyone, all the cultivators in the outside world are watching us. Even if we fight until we’re completely wiped out, we must kill the two of them!” Li Lufeng spoke in a low voice, and his voice seemed as if it was squeezed out from the cracks between his teeth and carried boundless hatred.

Their Dao Institute had always pursued a strategy of neutrality in the past. However, because of this battle, Li Lufeng was completely filled with hatred towards Kong Youran and Chen Xi.

When she heard this, Kong Youran started smiling, and she said indifferently, “Your ambition deserves compliment.”

She seemed to be very happy to see such reactions from Li Lufeng, and this clearly showed that the fight for that Ancient Dao Engraved Cauldron earlier had caused her to be truly infuriated.

At this moment, Chen Xi frowned instead, and he seemed to have noticed something. He sent a voice transmission to Kong Youran and said, “It’s time to leave.”

Kong Youran was stunned, and then a wisp of bright light suddenly flashed within her clear eyes. She glanced at Li Lufeng and the others before she said, “I’ll let all of you off lightly this time.”

Swoosh! Swoosh!

Under the astounded gazes of everyone, her voice hadn’t finished resounding in the air when Kong Youran and Chen Xi actually vanished successively on the spot, and they flew towards the distance.

Their speed was so swift that Li Lufeng and the others weren’t in time to stop them at all.

“Bastard! You actually want to flee!?” A disciple of the Dao Institute roared furiously and intended to pursue them.

“Are you going to seek death?” Li Lufeng’s expression was livid as he roared furiously and stopped that disciple.

In an instant, the expressions of all those disciples changed without end, and their hearts were filled with anger, resentment, and dejection.

“If Senior Brothers Yea Chen and Yu Jiuhui were here this time, then how could they have been able to flee!?” One of them spoke hatefully.

These words resonated with many other disciples of the Dao Institute.

As far as they were concerned, Kong Youran and Chen Xi were really formidable beyond imagination. However, they firmly believed that if Yea Chen and Yu Jiuhui were here, then such a tragedy would have definitely not occurred.

Only Li Lufeng couldn’t help but arouse a wisp of jealousy and indescribable rage when he heard these words. He couldn’t restrain himself from laughing coldly as he said, “Why don’t all of you say that it’s precisely because they left the group arbitrarily that we suffered such heavy losses?”

Everyone was stunned, and then they fell silent.

“So, in this way, Senior Brother Li thinks that all of this is the fault of I, Yea Chen, and Junior Brother Yu?” Right at this moment, a low and composed voice sounded out from afar.

“Looks like Senior Brother Li is very displeased with us.” At practically the exact same moment, a voice that was solid like metal resounded.

The hearts of everyone shook as they looked over in unison, and they saw Yea Chen who wore black clothes and had a dignified bearing had suddenly arrived swiftly.

A tall man with ink black slanted brows and a cold expression was by Yea Chen’s side, and it was exactly Yu Jiuhui.

When he saw both of them arrive simultaneously, Li Lufeng’s face sank once more, and he said, “Junior Brothers, could it be that I said something wrong? If both of you didn’t leave arbitrarily, then would our companions have been eliminated so easily?”

His words were confrontational and completely blunt. Obviously, Li Lufeng didn’t intend to conceal his rage any longer.

The other disciples went silent like cicadas in the winter when facing such a scene.

Amongst all of these disciples of the Dao Institute, Yea Chen, Yu Jiuhui, and Li Lufeng were the most prestigious.

Now that they’d actually started arguing, how could the others dare to interfere.

“Senior Brother Li is wrong. If we didn’t come over in time, then do you think Kong Youran and Chen Xi would have left so easily?” Yea Chen smiled indifferently. “Don’t say that they were afraid. Such a reason is too lame.”

All the others came to a sudden understanding. They realized that Kong Youran and Chen Xi had suddenly left just now because they’d actually noticed that Yea Chen and Yu Jiuhui were about to arrive.

Li Lufeng grunted coldly, and he was just about to say something when he was interrupted by Yu Jiuhui who spoke before him. “Alright, Senior Brother Li, we didn’t come to argue. If this continues, then it’ll only cause the outside world to laugh at our Dao Institute.”

Li Lufeng remained silent for a moment before he said, “Fine, we won’t speak about this matter. But we must hold Oracle Mountain and Nuwa’s Dao Palace responsible for this!”

Yea Chen seemed to have thought of something, and he suddenly said casually, “Senior Brother Li, there’s something that I don’t know if I should say.”

Li Lufeng frowned and said, “Go on.”

Yea Chen’s gaze suddenly turned cold while it swept Li Lufeng and the others like a cold bolt of lightning. “This is a Dao Discussion, and it’s a competition of one’s strength and not plots! The reason our Dao Institute was able to hold this grand event was none other than because of the words, fairness and impartiality. Ask yourselves, have all of you... accomplished that?”

His spoke word by word in a powerful voice, and it caused the atmosphere in the surroundings to instantly become deathly silent.

Li Lufeng’s expression changed slightly, and then he spoke with displeasure. “Junior Brother Yea Chen, if we’ve broken the rules, then we would have been punished a long time ago. How could we have persisted and continued participating in the Dao Discussion within the Dao Cauldron World?”

Yea Chen said indifferently, “Senior Brother Li, don’t take others to be blind bats. Since the Dao Discussion began, the disciples of our Dao Institute, the Divine Institute, and the Sovereign Sect were able to converge with each other at the first possible moment, yet only the disciples of Oracle Mountain and Nuwa’s Dao Palace were unable to accomplish this. Do you think this is normal?”

Before Li Lufeng could reply, Yea Chen spoke forcefully. “This is unusual! You ought to be clearly aware that by relying on the advantage of numbers, our Dao Institute has gained a huge advantage since the Dao Discussion began over a month ago!”

Li Lufeng’s expression turned completely gloomy, and he said, “These are the arrangements of the seniors from our sect. Could it be that there’s something wrong with that?”

“Could it be that the seniors of the sect wouldn’t make mistakes?” Yea Chen chuckled and said, “Senior Brother Li, if you think I’m wrong, then you can feel free to continue. But I, Yea Chen, will not accompany you!”

As soon as he finished speaking, he flicked his sleeve and left in an extremely resolute manner.

This scene caused many disciples of the Dao Institute to be anxious and doubtful.

Just as Yea Chen had said, they’d converged together during this period of over a month of time, and they’d relied on their advantage in numbers to become the biggest winner instead.

However, they’d always overlooked a single thing. Was doing this really fair and impartial?

If the disciples of Oracle Mountain and Nuwa’s Dao Palace were able to converge together, then would they be able to attain their current accomplishments?

“Fellow brothers, good luck.” Yu Jiuhui who’d been silent until now suddenly spoke coldly, and then turned and left just like Yea Chen had.

This caused Li Lufeng’s expression to grow even more unsightly. Never had he imagined that not only had Yea Chen and Yu Jiuhui not come to help, they’d come to lecture all of them instead.

How absurd!“Don’t worry everyone, if we broke the rules of the Dao Discussion, then we would probably been punished a long time ago and eliminated.” After a short while, Li Lufeng took a deep breath and consoled the others. “Not to mention that all of this was arranged by the seniors of our sect, sot here would definitely not be any mistakes.”

“Then... what should we do now?” One of them couldn’t help but ask this question in a low voice.

“Continue on our course of action!” Li Lufeng spoke without the slightest hesitation. He couldn’t be bothered to pay attention to what Yea Chen and Yu Jiuhui had said, and it was even to the extent that he felt they were too stubborn and pedantic.

...

This conversation came to an end just like that. All the cultivators in the outside world were unable to hear the content of this conversation, and they were utterly not concerned about it as well.

At this moment, all the cultivators in the outside world were excitedly discussing this unprecedented battle that had stopped abruptly.

Because it was the most intense battle since the Dao Discussion had begun, and it could be said to be world shocking.

Even if Chen Xi and Kong Youran had suddenly left in the middle of the battle, it didn’t affect the shocked caused by the battle at all.

Who would have imagined that in a battle where the gap in numbers was so extremely large, it would actually end with Chen Xi and Kong Youran leaving safely?

Who would have imagined that Chen Xi and Kong Youran’s combat strengths were actually so heaven defying and they were still able to eliminate seven opponents while facing the joint attacks of 26 disciples from the Dao Institute?

It was unimaginable!

So, that was the reason why all the cultivators in the outside world were so shocked.

On the other hand, Chen Xi and Kong Youran had instantly become the figures that were the hottest topic of conversation between these cultivators in the outside world.

Moreover, all these cultivators even discussed animatedly about exactly who amongst the two of them possessed a combat strength that was more formidable than the other.

However, no one was able to come to a clear conclusion.

Because the combat strengths both of them revealed was so shocking and formidable, so unless they fought each other, otherwise, it would be utterly impossible to determine this.

In Convergence Hall.

Yu Zhen heaved a long sigh of relief in her heart while a wisp of relief filled the space between Wen Ting’s brows.

Chi Song’zi and Lei Fu were stunned, and their expressions were slightly blank. A situation where they would be able to rely on the Dao Institute to eliminate an important disciple of Nuwa’s Dao Disciple had come to such an end, and it caused them to be unable to help but feel completely speechless.

They were shocked by the combat strengths revealed by Chen Xi and Kong Youran as well, and they ceaselessly criticized the display of those disciples from the Dao Institute as well.

In short, both of them were slightly disgruntled, yet they were unable to say anything. After all, this battle wasn’t related to their Sovereign Sect and Divine Institute.

However, the elimination of seven disciples of the Dao Institute caused them to take pleasure in the Dao Institute’s misfortune.

Within the hall, only Huai Kong’zi and the other Instructing Elders of the Dao Institute had rather gloomy expressions.

According to Huai Kong’zi opinion, those disciples of their Dao Institute should have chosen to leave as soon as Chen Xi arrived at the battlefield because that was the wisest choice.

However, it just so happened that the situation developed to such an extent. Not only had they lost seven disciples, they’d utterly offended Oracle Mountain and Nuwa’s Dao Palace. So, the situation couldn’t be any worse.

“Junior Brother Ying Qin, come with me!” Suddenly, Huai Kong’zi stood up, and then he glanced at Ying Qin before he walked towards the depths of the hall.

Imperial Monarch Ying Qing was slightly stunned, and his eyes flickered endlessly. However, he stood up and followed Huai Kong’zi in the end.

When they saw this scene, most of the people within the hall didn’t think much of it. They just thought that Huai Kong’zi was unable to accept the huge defeat experienced by the Dao Institute’s disciples, so for the sake of preventing himself from losing his composure in public, he’d chosen to leave temporarily.

Only some Instructing Elders of the Dao Institute had realized something, and all of them frowned while they let out long sighs in their hearts.
