“Someone must have beaten us to it.
If this Emperor finds out who it was, they will not be spared.”
The expressions of Suofeng Ghost Emperor and Black Gold Ancestor darkened.
They had practically scoured the entire planet and found only this place.
Upon their descent underground, they discovered the corpses of King Sky Net, Wu Xie, and others, along with the traces of the Moon Demon Essence Spirit.
Undoubtedly, the treasure was down there.
However, they were too late.
The treasure had already been taken.
Black Gold Ancestor’s expression was also grim, even slightly sombre.
To seek this treasure, he had spent three hundred purple crystals to assemble skilled explorers.
Yet, not only had he failed to acquire the treasure, his Liuyun Feisuo had also been stolen.
It was all seemingly for naught.
“Judging from the injuries on Wu Xie and the others, the perpetrator isn’t particularly powerful – probably an Undying Emperor Realm at most.
Given that they could erase the soul imprints you and I left on the Liuyun Feisuo and the Godlink Chain, they must be somewhat crafty.
Black Gold Old Ghost, it seems we may have to join forces to take our revenge.”
Suofeng Ghost Emperor spoke to Black Gold Ancestor.
Although the underground palace had collapsed, considering the injuries on King Sky Net, Wu Xie, etc., whoever did it was not very strong – likely a cultivator in the Undying Emperor Realm.
The late Emperor Realm also has three levels: the Undying Emperor Realm, the Immortal Emperor Realm, and the Eternal Emperor Realm.
Both Black Gold Ancestor and Suofeng Ghost Emperor are at the Undying Emperor Realm.
“Very well, The Ancestor will set aside our grudges for now.”
Black Gold Ancestor agreed with Suofeng Ghost Emperor that the opponent was likely an Undying Emperor Realm practitioner with considerable cunning.
If they joined forces, their chances of success would significantly increase.
“Now, finding our enemy is the top priority.”
With no clues left behind, locating the thief who stole the treasure wouldn’t be easy.
“Hm?”
At that moment, Black Gold Ancestor sensed something and instantly darted off in a particular direction.
Immediately after, Suofeng Ghost Emperor followed.
From a distance, Long Yan emerged from a concealed underground area.
After a deep breath of fresh air, he prepared to leave.
Although the journey was fraught with danger, it wasn’t without its rewards.
The biggest gain was obviously his ascension to the Other Shore Emperor Realm.
With his strength increased, navigating the Sealed Gods Ancient Road would be easier.
Swoosh swoosh.
However, just as Long Yan was preparing to leave, two soft sounds of wind breaking echoed through the air.
In an instant, Black Gold Ancestor and Suofeng Ghost Emperor appeared before him.
“Two late-stage Emperors!”
Long Yan was immediately on guard.
His gaze landed on Black Gold Ancestor and Suofeng Ghost Emperor, quickly ascertaining their late-stage Emperor Realm cultivation.
Alarm rose in his eyes.
“How could an Other Shore Emperor Realm be here?”
Black Gold Ancestor and Suofeng Ghost Emperor locked their sights onto Long Yan.
His aura revealed him to be merely of Other Shore Emperor Realm.
They had both exerted some effort to reach this place.
How could Long Yan, a mere cultivator of the Other Shore Emperor Realm, be here?
“Kid, how did you end up here?”
Suofeng Ghost Emperor questioned.
“Just as well.
They haven’t recognized me.”
At these words, Long Yan inwardly heaved a sigh of relief.
At the moment, he was in his own appearance.
It seemed Suofeng Ghost Emperor and Black Gold Ancestor didn’t know he was Long Yan, which was a load off his mind.
“Seniors, I made a misstep during my training and unintentionally ended up in a planar storm, thus winding up here to recover from the injuries I sustained.”
Long Yan answered respectfully, lying without batting an eyelid.
“Nonsense.
If a mere Other Shore Emperor Realm like you were to be engulfed in a planar storm, how could you possibly survive?”
The Black Gold Ancestor immediately reprimanded aloud.
It goes without saying how terrifying a Planar Storm is.
Even for him, being swallowed by a Planar Storm would be a brush with death.
Long Yan, who is only at the Other Shore Emperor Realm, has absolutely no chance of survival.
“Perhaps, I was just lucky.”
Long Yan responded softly.
“No matter how you ended up here, as Emperor, I must ask you, do you know what has happened here?”
Suofeng Ghost Emperor did not care how Long Yan ended up here.
Since Long Yan was here, he must know something.
“I have been healing my injuries all along, and I don’t know anything else.”
Long Yan feigned confusion and asked, “Senior, was there some kind of incident here?
Or, perhaps has some treasure emerged?”
He played dumb very convincingly.
“Ghost Emperor, you’re becoming more muddled.
Why bother talking to him?
Just extract his memories, and you’ll find out everything.”
The Black Gold Ancestor did not have the patience to chitchat with Long Yan.
Extracting Long Yan’s memories was the most direct and effective method.
Upon hearing this, Long Yan’s demeanor became serious again.
He’d hoped to avoid a disaster, but it seems it would not be that easy.
“Honourable seniors, you are both extraordinary beings.
Why do you need to press me, a junior?
I genuinely know nothing.
If I did, I would tell you without any hesitation.”
Long Yan was trying to make one final plea, all while mentally preparing himself for what was to come.
“Kid, this is out of your control.
You can only blame your bad luck!”
Suofeng Ghost Emperor barked, and stepped forward.
His Emperor Realm Late Stage momentum aimed at Long Yan was crushing.
He decided to use the method proposed by the Black Gold Ancestor, to extract Long Yan’s memories.
“Kid, if you don’t resist, perhaps you have a chance to survive.”
Having said that, Suofeng Ghost Emperor’s claw reached for Long Yan’s head.
His force manifested into claw marks that appeared to press down upon the surrounding space itself, causing it to tremble.
“You want to read my memories?
No chance!”
Long Yan’s countenance became suddenly cold.
“Nine Heavens Thunder Seal!”
In a split second, Long Yan formed a Nine Heavens Thunder Seal in his hand, and immediately charged at Suofeng Ghost Emperor.
The power of the Thunderbolt raged, spreading a fierce and savage aura.
The power under the seal distorted space, displaying a strength far beyond that of the Other Shore Emperor Realm.
“Bam!”
In an instant, the Nine Heavens Thunder Seal collided with Suofeng Ghost Emperor’s claw mark.
With a bang, a strong shockwave spread out, shaking even the space around them, causing small spatial rifts to flicker in and out of existence.
After one blow, Long Yan retreated three steps, while Suofeng Ghost Emperor also stepped back once.
“What formidable strength!”
Suofeng Ghost Emperor’s expression trembled, he was quite surprised.
Although he did not use his full strength, this act of his indeed held the power of the Silent and Annihilating Emperor stage, even more actually.
However, it was resisted by Long Yan.
Long Yan actually possesses the strength of the Silence Destroying Emperor Stage, despite his cultivation base unquestionably being that of the Other Shore Emperor Realm.
“Honourable seniors, I truly do not know what has transpired.
Please stop harassing me.”
Long Yan spoke, his tone no longer as weak as before.
“Kid, this Emperor had underestimated you.”
The Suofeng Ghost Emperor’s eyes shot out a cold, vicious light.
