The Qi Cultivation Emperor Who Snatches Brides, do you think you're funny?

When Emperor Yun heard Li Xuan's question, his body stiffened abruptly, as if he had been struck by an electric current.

He slowly raised his head and looked at Li Xuan in horror, his eyes filled with fear, where was the slightest trace of the majesty and arrogance he usually possessed as a supreme being.

At this moment, he was like a lamb to the slaughter, filled with despair and fear when facing Li Xuan, this ferocious predator.

"Great Emperor Tai... Great Emperor Tai Xuan, I... I dare not run away. I know I can't escape from you at all." Emperor Yun's voice trembled, his lips quivered uncontrollably, and large beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, hitting the ground and kicking up a small patch of dust.

He struggled to stand up, but his legs were as weak as noodles, and he couldn't muster any strength. After several attempts, he could only lie on the ground in a sorry state, kowtowing repeatedly in the direction of Li Xuan. Each kowtow was extremely forceful, and his forehead quickly became red and swollen, with faint traces of blood seeping out.

"Great Emperor, please spare my life! I... I know I was wrong. I was truly blinded by greed and delusion, which is why I dared to oppose you. I... I've always been a cautious and careful person, but this time I was truly bewitched. I swear, I will behave myself from now on and never dare to have any thoughts of offending you again." Emperor Yun kowtowed and begged for mercy with tears streaming down his face. He looked utterly pathetic, completely lacking the supreme demeanor he once possessed in the Xuanming Forbidden Zone.

He knew in his heart that with the terrifying strength that Li Xuan had shown, catching up with him would be a piece of cake. His escape methods were probably just child's play in the eyes of the other party and would not work at all.

His only chance of survival now might be to beg for Li Xuan's forgiveness, so he could only plead desperately, hoping that Li Xuan would have mercy and spare his life.

Li Xuan stood there, quietly watching the Cloud Emperor's pathetic and pleading appearance, a hint of interest in his eyes. He slightly raised his hand and gently waved it, unleashing an invisible force that instantly enveloped the Cloud Emperor.

Emperor Yun felt as if he were being scanned from head to toe by an invisible gaze. Every detail of his past, his cautious way of doing things, and the thoughts hidden deep in his heart seemed to be seen clearly by Li Xuan. This feeling made him more and more terrified, but he dared not resist in the slightest and could only let Li Xuan do as he pleased.

"Hmph, he is a cautious person, but it's a pity that he made such a foolish mistake today." Li Xuan frowned slightly, as if he was thinking about something. After a moment, he waved his hand again, and mysterious runes flew out from his fingertips and floated towards Emperor Yun.

The runes shimmered with a faint light, carrying a mysterious aura, and quickly entered Emperor Yun's body. Emperor Yun had no time to dodge and felt an unfamiliar power flowing through his meridians, then gathering in his dantian to form a complex restriction.

Body, soul, even the Great Dao...

Gulu.

Emperor Yun swallowed hard, staring at Li Xuan in astonishment. Powerful, such powerful magic! No, this is not magic at all.

It was something even he couldn't see through.

Emperor Yun was extremely shocked. Just what level had the Great Emperor Tai Xuan reached?
"I will spare your life for now, but this restriction is already planted in your body. Your life is now in my hands. If you dare to do anything disobedient or disobey my orders, I only need to think of it, and this restriction can take your life instantly. Do you understand?" Li Xuan said calmly, but his calm words revealed an undeniable authority, making Emperor Yun feel as if he were being pricked by thorns, and cold sweat poured out of his body.

"I...I understand, Your Majesty. I will obey your orders without question and will never dare to disobey in the slightest. Thank you for sparing my life, Your Majesty! Thank you for sparing my life!" Emperor Yun hurriedly kowtowed to express his gratitude. His tearful expression made it seem as if Li Xuan had not placed a life-or-death restriction on him, but rather bestowed upon him an immense opportunity.

At this moment, he felt extremely bitter. After all, as a supreme being, to have his life and death controlled by someone else was an immense humiliation. But what could he do? In the face of absolute power, dignity and pride became worthless. As long as he could save his life, nothing else mattered.

Seeing the Cloud Emperor's terrified yet tearful expression, Li Xuan simply shook his head slightly and said nothing more. Then, his expression hardened, and a vast and mysterious aura suddenly erupted from his body. That aura was like an invisible wave, sweeping out in all directions, instantly enveloping the entire Xuanming Forbidden Zone, and even continuing to spread further and further away.

Just then, those supreme beings who had just used various means to desperately escape suddenly felt the surrounding space distort, as if an invisible force was pulling them, making it impossible for them to resist.

Immediately afterwards, the scene before their eyes began to blur. The images that had been far from the Xuanming Forbidden Zone disappeared rapidly as if wiped away by an invisible hand, and were replaced by a series of rapidly rewinding images, as if the river of time was flowing backward at this moment, and everything they had experienced was playing in reverse.

The supreme being who had used his escape technique to vanish into the void, turning into countless points of light and disappearing without a trace, was anxiously traversing the void, constantly on guard to see if he had shaken off Li Xuan's pursuit. But suddenly, the power of the void around him surged wildly and uncontrollably, and the points of light that had merged into the void began to converge in reverse. With flashes of light, his figure gradually appeared, and then he was uncontrollably sent flying backward toward the Xuanming Forbidden Zone.

His eyes widened in horror and disbelief. He tried to struggle, but found that his spiritual power was as if it were imprisoned, and he could not exert any strength at all. He could only watch helplessly as he got closer and closer to the Xuanming Forbidden Zone. His despair was like falling into an endless abyss.

The supreme being who was speeding through the void on a spirit boat also encountered the same situation.

He stood on the spirit boat, constantly looking back, cold sweat pouring from his forehead. But in the next moment, the space around the spirit boat seemed to be gripped by a giant hand, rapidly contracting. The light emanating from the spirit boat instantly dimmed, its speed decreased drastically, and then it began to travel in reverse, quickly returning the way it had come.

The Supreme Being's face was ashen. He desperately poured spiritual energy into the spirit boat, trying to change this strange situation, but all his efforts were in vain. The spirit boat was as if it were being pulled by an invisible rope, flying straight towards the Xuanming Forbidden Zone. His body also shook violently as the spirit boat moved backward, and the fear in his heart had reached its peak.

And the Supreme Being who used the Blood Escape Technique to transform into a blood-red lightning bolt and flee, the blood mist surrounding him no longer surged forward, but slowly receded, the blood mist became thinner and thinner, and his figure gradually became clearer.

He could clearly feel the vital energy he had just depleted rapidly recovering, but instead of feeling relieved, he became even more terrified. He knew that he was being forcibly pulled back to the Xuanming Forbidden Zone by an unimaginable force, and what awaited him was likely an ending even more terrible than death.

The supreme being who rushed into the spatial rift and used the spatial turbulence to escape was now in dire straits.

The turbulent spatial currents were already extremely dangerous. He had barely managed to make his way through them for a short distance when suddenly the surrounding spatial currents seemed to change direction, surging wildly in the opposite direction and pulling him outwards.

His spiritual energy shield teetered on the brink of collapse under the impact of this powerful force, and he kept spitting out blood. However, he could only be forcibly pulled out of the spatial rift by this reverse current and fly backward toward the Xuanming Forbidden Zone. Along the way, his eyes were filled with despair and helplessness. He simply could not imagine what kind of power could do something so contrary to common sense.

In the blink of an eye, these Supreme Beings who had just scattered and tried to escape Li Xuan's control were transported back to the Xuanming Forbidden Zone as if time had been reversed.

They were all in a sorry state, some had fallen to the ground, and some were still in the posture of casting spells, but they all looked at Li Xuan with fear in their eyes, as if the fear was real.

Li Xuan smiled slightly at them, "Why aren't you running anymore?"
