"Don't worry, leave this to me," Zhou Hong patted Long Yu's shoulder.
Indeed, it was impossible for Long Yu to become an Immortal Emperor. No matter how high his talent was, how could he break through without approval?
In Zhou Hong's previous life, his grandfather also had very high talent. But what good was it? That's why Zhou Hong's grandfather came up with the Puppet Sword Formation. This formation allowed one to defeat an Immortal Emperor even when their strength was very weak, making it easy to obtain approval.
"Zhou Hong, you mean?" Long Yu looked at Zhou Hong with excitement in his eyes.
"That's right. You are currently in the Huohou Immortal Kingdom. To break through further, you need the approval of the Huohou Immortal Emperor. I'll beat up the Huohou Immortal Emperor directly and force him to approve it for you."
"Really?" Long Yu was thrilled.
"Of course, it's true. Let's go, let's continue drinking. If I'm not mistaken, soon the neighboring Dragon Yan Immortal Emperor and the Huohou Immortal Emperor will come looking for me."
"Okay, but I'm still a little worried. What if the two Immortal Emperors join forces…!"
"We'll deal with it when the time comes. If we can't win, we'll run."
Long Yu forced a bitter smile. However, Zhou Hong was indeed his benefactor. Long Yu truly couldn't find any way to break through the limitations of an Immortal Emperor. Now, Zhou Hong had brought him hope.
Several hours later, the panicked Queen Mother of Huohou, who had fled in haste, returned to the Immortal Court of the Huohou Immortal Kingdom.
"Hou Di, this is bad," the Queen Mother rushed in and shouted at a man inside. This man was the Huohou Immortal Emperor.
"What's so urgent? What kind of composure is this for a Queen Mother? I'm busy right now. My friend Long Yan just sent me a message, asking for help to find the murderer of his son. I was just about to issue a decree for all immortals to help search."
"No need to search," the Queen Mother of Huohou said.
"What do you mean 'no need to search'?"
"Because I already know who it is."
"Who is it?" The Huohou Immortal Emperor was shocked.
"It's someone named Zhou Hong. He's in Xuanyuan City right now."
"Is this true?"
"He admitted it himself. Also, I was almost killed by him just now, otherwise, why do you think I'm in such a disheveled state?"
"What?"
Without a word, the Huohou Immortal Emperor immediately notified his friend, the Dragon Yan Immortal Emperor.
Zhou Hong continued to feast with Long Yu at his home for another half a day. At this moment, a shout echoed from the sky outside: "Dog thief who killed my son, come out and die."
Zhou Hong chuckled.
"They've come so quickly. Let's go and meet them."
Zhou Hong once again soared into the sky. Standing in mid-air, he looked up to see tens of thousands of white clouds floating in the sky. On each cloud stood countless heavenly soldiers and generals. The four cardinal directions of Xuanyuan City were surrounded by dense armies of heavenly soldiers, encircling the city.
Seeing this grand formation, all the citizens of Xuanyuan City trembled in fear.
Zhou Hong did not let Long Yu stand beside him. After all, if a fight broke out, Zhou Hong wouldn't be able to protect him.
"Are you the murderer of my son?" A man rapidly descended from the sky. It was none other than the neighboring Dragon Yan Immortal Emperor.
From another direction, another Immortal Emperor descended. If Zhou Hong's guess was correct, this was the Huohou Immortal Emperor of this place.
"That's right. Your son Long Hua, and the Wuji Immortal Maiden, were all killed by me." Zhou Hong did not deny it and directly admitted it.
"You're seeking death."
"Heh heh, yes, let's see if you have the ability."
At this moment, the Huohou Immortal Emperor also descended and said angrily to Zhou Hong, "My Queen Mother, you were the one who made her so disheveled, wasn't you?" Soudan Novel Network
"Heh heh, you must be the Huohou Immortal Emperor, right? Half a day ago, your wife came to find me, but considering we had no mortal enmity, I let her go. What, you're not grateful to me now and want to join forces with him to deal with me?"
"Kid, what is your origin? Tell me honestly," the Huohou Immortal Emperor roared. Although he already knew that Zhou Hong possessed eight giant puppets, he knew nothing about Zhou Hong's background.
"I come from the Demonic Realm. Alright, enough nonsense. If you want to join forces, do it quickly. But don't blame me for saying this upfront." Zhou Hong looked at the Huohou Immortal Emperor with a warning in his eyes. "We have no deep hatred. If you really want to join forces against me, then don't blame me for being impolite."
Seeing Zhou Hong's confident demeanor, the Huohou Immortal Emperor felt a little hesitant. Although the Dragon Yan Immortal Emperor was his friend, if it was too dangerous, he would back out. His own life was more important. He had spent hundreds of millions of years to become an Immortal Emperor. It would be too unworthy to perish just like that.
"Brother Huohou, join me in destroying him," the Dragon Yan Immortal Emperor shouted at this moment.
"Alright, let's join forces to destroy him." The Huohou Immortal Emperor agreed verbally, but he did not rush to act in his heart. At least he wanted to see Zhou Hong's strength clearly.
Zhou Hong was too lazy to waste time and directly attacked the Dragon Yan Immortal Emperor.
"Boom!" The eight giant puppets unleashed incredible power, drawing eight colossal swords and slashing at the Dragon Yan Immortal Emperor simultaneously. The immense energy waves immediately blew away all the heavenly soldiers standing on the white clouds in the surrounding sky.
The Dragon Yan Immortal Emperor was also sent flying violently for five thousand meters. He spat out a mouthful of blood uncontrollably, similar to the Queen Mother of Huohou before. This was because the Queen Mother also possessed the strength of an Immortal Emperor.
"Ah?" The Dragon Yan Immortal Emperor's face changed. He never expected these eight puppets to be so powerful.
The Huohou Immortal Emperor standing in the distance also looked shocked. Although he had learned from his wife that Zhou Hong's puppets were powerful, his wife only possessed the strength of ten stars. The Dragon Yan Immortal Emperor, however, possessed twenty-two stars, and his strength was incomparably greater.
Yet, at this moment, he saw the Dragon Yan Immortal Emperor being sent flying with a single blow. He was completely outmatched.
"Let's retreat." Without another word, the Huohou Immortal Emperor grabbed his Queen Mother and instantly fled. Friends and brothers meant nothing at this moment.
The Dragon Yan Immortal Emperor, who was spitting blood, saw his good brother flee and snorted heavily. However, he could understand. After all, the Huohou Immortal Emperor's strength was slightly weaker than his, possessing only twenty-one stars. Even if the two of them joined forces, they probably wouldn't be a match. He immediately judged that Zhou Hong's puppets could at least contend with an Immortal Emperor of thirty stars.
The Dragon Yan Immortal Emperor was in despair, not knowing what to do. Of course, he no longer dared to think about revenge.
Zhou Hong's eight giant puppets immediately surrounded him again.
"Wait, wait, I yield, I yield," shouted the Dragon Yan Immortal Emperor, raising his hands.
