Chapter 1773: The First Emperor of the Alien Spirit Clan

Chenyong Emperor, one of the three emperors of the Alien Spirit Clan, and the most powerful in authority, governing all clan affairs, could be called the foremost figure of the Alien Spirit Clan—how could he be this child attendant who had been following behind, always addressing him as 'Young Master'?

If it was him, then what identity would Luo Ruoxi, whom he called 'Miss,' have?

Chilled to the bone, Zhang Xuan dared not think further.

Earlier, he had heard that the strongest emperor of the Alien Spirit Clan had arrived in the Master Teacher Continent, but could not be found no matter what. He never dreamed that he was right beside him, disguised as a servant!

"Spirit Emperor..."

Though he already had the answer in his heart, upon actually hearing it, Chenyong Emperor Wuchen still looked grim, clenching his fists with anger.

The three emperors had coexisted for countless years. Internal strife was one thing, but colluding with outsiders to attack one's own kind was a betrayal of the race.

Thinking of this, he could no longer hold back and looked up at Yan Qing, the Ancient Sage not far away: "It seems the Hundred Schools of Thought have long been allied with them!"

"Promising Emperor Chenling not only eliminates the strongest emperor of the Alien Spirit lineage but also secures three hundred years of peace. Why not?" Yan Qing, the Ancient Sage, said calmly, his face devoid of any ripple.

"Three hundred years of peace?"

"Emperor Chenling has promised the Hundred Schools of Thought that as long as they cooperate to eliminate you, the Alien Spirit Clan will not launch any attacks for three hundred years!" Yan Qing, the Ancient Sage, said.

"So that's how it is..." Chenyong Emperor gritted his teeth.

No wonder the Hundred Schools of Thought and the Alien Spirit Clan, sworn enemies, could coexist peacefully and join forces against him—it turned out there was a conditional exchange.

He was the strongest emperor of the Spirit Clan. Once he died, the entire Spirit Clan would suffer a great loss of strength and could not recover for three hundred years. Promising not to attack was actually a form of self-protection.

But... not attacking others—could it guarantee that the Hundred Schools of Thought and the Master Teacher Hall would not take the opportunity to wipe out the Spirit Clan?

"That said, back at the Heavenly Secrets Hall in Fenggu City, you were already prepared to ambush me, weren't you?"

Chenyong Emperor spoke again.

"At that time, we used the Savage's sternum as bait to lure you out, then used the Heavenly Secrets Hall to obscure the heavens and conceal the auras of many Ancient Sages. We thought we could easily slay you, but unexpectedly, someone ruined it..."

Bu Yu snorted coldly, glancing at Zhang Xuan not far away.

Back then, several Ancient Sages were lying in ambush at the Heavenly Secrets Hall, waiting for this Chenyong Emperor to walk into the trap. But somehow, this fellow popped up, and most critically... he killed an Ancient Sage with a single strike, not even allowing him to escape, scaring everyone else into not daring to act.

"This..."

Hearing this, Zhang Xuan finally understood.

No wonder the people of the Hundred Schools of Thought openly snatched the Savage's sternum—it was all to lure Wuchen over!

He possessed the Savage's arm and would inevitably have a special reaction to the sternum. Using this as bait was indeed irresistible.

As for later, when the skeleton was devoured by his Book of Heavenly Dao, he didn't say much—that should have been related to Luo Ruoxi.

Otherwise, how could a dignified emperor address a nobody like him as 'Young Master'?

"That said, when you went to Baixi Mountain to seek the Ancestral Mother Talisman, you had already joined forces..." Chenyong Emperor continued.

At Baixi Mountain, among the three who followed Yan Xue, one was a member of the Alien Spirit Clan. At the time, he found it strange, so he took leave of Miss, returned to investigate, and ordered the troops attacking humanity to cease their assault.

But before he could find anything, he sensed the appearance of the Savage's skeleton and pursued it.

"Correct!"

Without denying it, Yan Qing, the Ancient Sage, nodded.

"Very well!" Having finished his inquiries, Chenyong Emperor closed his eyes, then suddenly opened them wide. A massive vortex spun from his pupils like an abyss: "It seems the Spirit Emperor has wanted me dead for a long time. But relying on you all... killing me won't be that easy!"

Boom!

As his voice ended, the child-like figure slowly grew taller, the aura of slaughter becoming denser. In a few breaths, he resumed the form of an Alien Spirit, wearing a crown and a golden dragon robe, every move exuding imperial dignity and authority.

"It really is Chenyong Emperor..."

The long sword at Zhang Hongtian's waist kept trembling, as if it would uncontrollably fly out at any moment.

Although he had never seen this strongest emperor of the Alien Spirit Clan, he had long heard rumors, and this matched exactly.

Not only was he shocked, but the other Ancient Sages also looked solemn and vigilant.

A man's reputation is like the shadow of a tree.

The deterrent power of the first emperor of the Alien Spirit Clan was too great. Even though their strength had reached the peak of the continent, they still understood that this man could not be dealt with merely by outnumbering him.

Witnessing Wuchen revert to his true form and become the Alien Spirit Emperor, Zhang Xuan was speechless.

Other Alien Spirit experts, with Ancient Sage-level strength, would be detected by the Master Teacher Hall if they disguised themselves as humans. But he had personally experienced the wonder of Luo Ruoxi's disguise talismans and knew their capabilities.

If this Chenyong Emperor were given one, even if he disguised himself as a child attendant or even as Master Yang, the Master Teacher Hall probably couldn't tell the difference between real and fake.

Such talismans were too terrifying. After disguise, even bloodline could not be detected, let alone anything else!

This explained why the strongest emperor of the Alien Spirit Clan, once in the human realm, could never be found!

As for how the humans and the Hundred Schools of Thought knew he had left the seal and set up traps—it was probably related to the Soul Witch.

Hearing all this, Zhang Xuan finally sorted out the whole matter.

It should be that the Soul Witch hidden in the Alien Spirit Clan, sensing Chenyong Emperor's departure, secretly sent a message to the Jiang family, who then passed it to the Hundred Schools of Thought, leading to the current setup.

The only thing he still couldn't figure out was Luo Ruoxi's identity and what role she played in all this.

"We know it won't be easy, but today, you can hardly escape..."

Seeing him revert to his true form, Yan Qing, the Ancient Sage, knew a great battle was imminent. He swallowed two pills to recover from the injuries he had sustained earlier, raised his halberd, and his eyes blazed with killing intent.

The Ancient Sages of the Hundred Schools of Thought and the Alien Spirit Clan also raised their weapons simultaneously.

They had planned for so long, all for this moment.

"My own people want me dead, and the Hundred Schools of Thought also want me dead... Hah!"

With a long roar, Chenyong Emperor turned to look at Zhang Hongtian and the Ancient Sages of the Master Teacher Hall: "And you?"

"Chenyong Emperor, my father and elder brother were both killed by the Alien Spirit Clan. I have long been irreconcilable with you. Since you are the strongest emperor, let's trade life for life!"

"Our relatives and friends also died at your hands. Heaven has eyes. Today, even if we fall here, we will kill you to comfort their spirits in heaven!"

"My Dao partner was annihilated by a single blade strike of yours. To personally take revenge today—death would be worth it!"

...

Several Ancient Sages of the Master Teacher Hall stepped forward simultaneously, their bodies radiating fierce killing intent.
