Eternal God Emperor: Only I Am Emperor One

Chapter 193 Who Dares to Harm My Young Master
After the initial surprise, Wan Canglan calmed down and shook his head, saying, "The Undying Blood Clan poisoned us with the Underworld King's Blood Poison. We can't use our martial arts cultivation or spiritual power right now. If you take us with you, you'll definitely be discovered."

"Pluto's Blood Poison? That's a bit troublesome. I'll trouble you all to enter my Azure Dragon Bracelet and I'll take you away from here."

Emperor Yi activated the Azure Dragon Bracelet, and a spatial gate immediately appeared inside the tent.

Wan Canglan was amazed. He remembered that Di Yi still had an ancient spatial artifact in his possession, and he felt as if he had been given a chance to escape from a desperate situation.

She called to the three female saints behind her, all of whom were close attendants of Empress Chi Yao in the Ziwei Palace, and walked towards the spatial gate.

"Thank you."

After putting the four people into the Azure Dragon Bracelet, Di Yi turned around and walked out of the tent. Wan Canglan and the others were freed, and the Undying Blood Clan in the camp would find out soon, so they had to hurry up and leave as soon as possible.

At dawn, thick clouds lingered, and the sky was dark. Only a faint ray of light pierced through the clouds in the distance, barely illuminating the ancient, snow-capped mountains that had never melted.

Emperor Yi fled three thousand miles to an ice cave, erased the traces and aura he left behind, and then released Wan Canglan from the Azure Dragon Bracelet.

The Hades Blood Poison is extremely difficult to deal with. Even after escaping, Wan Canglan cannot remove the poison on his own. He must wait until he returns to the Central Imperial City and asks the Great Sage of the Imperial Court to take action to completely eradicate it.

"It's safe here now, Martial Saint Canglan. Do you know where Danqing went?" Di Yi asked.

A strange light flashed in Wan Canglan's eyes as he exclaimed in surprise, "You came here specifically for Sister Danqing. The friendship between you two is truly rare."

Seeing that the emperor remained expressionless, Wan Canglan stopped talking and said, "That day, the King of Zhongying under the Azure Sky Blood Emperor led dozens of saints to ambush us in the Ancient Snow Mountain. The Golden Armor Heavenly King and the Military Heavenly King died on the spot, and the Cloud Sea Heavenly King was also killed by the Famous Sword Saint during the retreat."

"After I was captured, I didn't know where Sister Danqing had escaped to. However, the Nine Heavens Mystic Maidens have a secret method that allows them to sense each other's location. Her approximate location is in the northwest, about 20,000 li away."

"After Zhongying King seized the Burning Heaven Sword, he took it to see Qingtian Blood Emperor. Qingyang King just arrived recently and should not have found her yet."

Emperor Yi looked toward the northwest, his gaze deep and thoughtful.

King Qingyang was the Undying Blood Clan Saint King who withstood a sword strike from the Taiyi Ancestor in the Fallen God Tomb Forest. His cultivation had reached the high-level Saint King level, and his strength was ten or even a hundred times greater than Ruan Feilong's.

Even if Nangong Shi's Holy Symbol is used, Di Yi is probably no match for it.

"You will come with me and guide me. We must find her before the Undying Blood Clan," Emperor Yi said.

“Okay.” Wan Canglan was also very worried about the situation of the Holy Book Talent. The Undying Blood Clan believed that the Holy Book Talent was the source of the Blood Mirror and was willing to do anything to capture her in order to find out the source of the Blood Mirror from her so that they could completely erase this thing that was aimed at the Undying Blood Clan from the world.

Di Yi embraced Wan Canglan with one hand and used the Flowing Light Flying Rainbow Escape Technique, his speed approaching that of an ordinary True Saint.

The snow-capped mountains on both sides kept receding, and the wind and clouds surged in the sky. Following Wan Canglan's guidance, they continued to rush towards the location of the Holy Book Talented Woman.

When they were about a thousand miles away, signs of battle appeared all around.

The emperor's expression immediately changed.

"Oh no, she's been discovered by the undead vampires."

Wan Canglan looked tense and turned to Di Yi, saying, "Qingyang King is an old Saint King who has lived for over a thousand years. Only the Upper Heavenly King in the court can rival him. With your strength, going there now is just courting death. Although Danqing didn't tell me explicitly, I know that the source of the Blood Mirror is not her, but you. As long as you are alive, the Blood Mirror will not disappear, and the Undying Blood Clan's conspiracy will not succeed."

The Emperor looked at her and said coldly, "Are you advising me to stand by and watch someone die? Or are you afraid of dying yourself, worried about dying at the hands of the undead vampires?"

“You…” Wan Canglan’s phoenix eyes narrowed coldly as she resolutely said, “You are a heretic. This is a matter for the court and has nothing to do with you. Leave me here and leave quickly. With your talent, you may be able to catch up with the Empress in the future. Don’t die here in vain.”

"Advising me to leave, yet going to my death yourself—is this the pedantry of the court? It's not time to die yet; the battle marks around us are still fresh. It's at the Saint Realm level. It's not that the Qingyang King found her, but merely a Saint of the Undying Blood Clan."

Di Yi opened the Azure Dragon Bracelet, ignoring Wan Canglan's resistance, and stuffed it into the bracelet. Then he summoned the Heaven-Sealing Sword and chased after the traces of the battle at full speed.

Several days have passed since the attack outside the Ancient Snow Mountain. The court officials who were with the Holy Book Talented Woman have either died in battle or scattered, and now she is all alone.

Behind them, swords flashed and shadows danced, and more than one immortal vampire saint was in pursuit.

The talented woman with the sacred book was pale, with the Confucian ancestor's sacred book floating above her head. Her spiritual energy was exhausted, and she could not hold on for much longer.

But the number of pursuers behind them was increasing, and they couldn't shake them off at all.

“Our clan’s saints are coming from all sides. You can’t escape. A dignified scholar and talented woman of the imperial court, you’re like a stray dog. If I were you, I would stay and fight a fierce battle.”

Among the pursuing Undying Blood Clan Saints, the strongest was a burly man with four eyes named Heavenly Eye King, whose cultivation had reached the Heavenly Realm.

Even at her peak, the Holy Book Talented Woman might not have been his match, let alone now that she is injured and her mental energy is excessively depleted.

The Holy Book Talent slowed down again, closing the distance between herself and her pursuers. She was at her limit, nearing her limit.

This time, we've truly reached a dead end.

Seeing this, the undead vampire pursuers behind them intensified their chase.

King Tianmu was the first to close the distance between himself and the Holy Book Talented Woman to within five hundred feet. He opened all four of his eyes and shot out a beam of holy light, which went straight for the Holy Book Talented Woman's back.

Sensing the danger behind her, the talented woman of the sacred book turned around abruptly, channeled her last bit of mental energy, and used the sacred book of the Confucian ancestor to unleash the ancient character 'shield'.

The ancient text was struck by the holy light and shattered after only a moment. The talented woman of the Holy Book suffered a backlash, and her already weakened body could no longer hold on. Her vision went black, and she fell toward the ground.

With her frail physical body as a spiritual cultivator, landing at such a height would undoubtedly mean certain death.

"Is everything...over?"

The vision of the talented woman blurred, and she felt herself falling continuously. The wind was whistling in her ears, like a mournful dirge.

The howling wind made her curl up into a ball, wanting to hold onto some warmth before she died. This action seemed to work; her body was no longer so cold, as if she had fallen into a hot spring, her whole body enveloped in warmth.

She struggled to open her eyes, a smile appearing on her face, and murmured, "Is this the world after death? It doesn't seem so scary. Di Yi... what are you doing here? Did you come to see me off?"

The talented woman looked at the hazy yet familiar face before her and smiled happily.

With one hand holding the Heaven-Sealing Sword and the other holding the talented woman of the Sacred Book in his arms, Di Yi felt a surge of killing intent as he looked at the woman curled up in his arms.

There are already six Undying Blood Clan Saints who have come in pursuit, with varying levels of cultivation.

"Dragon fights in the wild!"

He activated the Sacred Symbol in his palm, pushing the Heaven-Sealing Sword to its limit, and unleashed a strike from the White Emperor's Heavenly Pivot Sword Technique.

The sword energy swept across thirty miles, enveloping the six saints who were pursuing them.

After the sword light passed, only six clouds of blood mist exploded in the sky.

With a casual gesture, Di Yi retrieved the Holy Source and Holy Artifacts of the Six Saints, and ceased using the Holy Symbol.

He then continued to infuse the holy energy into the body of the talented woman.

Snowflakes drifted down from the thick clouds. While Di Yi was fleeing rapidly towards the edge of the Ancient Snow Mountain, he was also healing the Holy Book Talent. Her injuries were severe; her Holy Heart and Holy Soul had suffered near-fatal blows. If she did not receive timely treatment, she was in danger of perishing.

A quarter of an hour later, the talented woman of the Holy Book regained consciousness and found herself not dead, but in Di Yi's arms. She was too weak to react.

"Why are you here?"

"Of course I came to save you. You were being hunted by the Undying Blood Clan because of the Blood Mirror. If I stood by and did nothing, wouldn't that be too disloyal to my friends?" Emperor Yi breathed a sigh of relief when he saw her awaken. He took out a Withered Wood Pill, dissolved its medicinal power, and injected it into her body.

The injuries to her Sacred Heart and Sacred Soul were difficult to heal, but the Withered Wood Pill could temporarily restore the injuries to her physical body.

"Is it just because of loyalty to friends?" the Holy Book Scholar asked in a barely audible voice.

Di Yi naturally heard her words, and his heart paused slightly. Before he could think further, he sensed a familiar yet terrifying aura above the clouds.

"That old guy, he still caught up."

Emperor Yi hugged the talented woman of the Holy Book even tighter, protecting her with his holy energy, and activated the True Word Divine Script to enhance his escape technique, increasing his speed even further.

"You think you can escape from me, junior? You're delusional."

Emerging from the thick clouds was an immortal blood clan saintly figure, thousands of feet tall, whose blood aura soared into the sky, causing Di Yi to tremble even from a great distance.

The Holy Minister raised his hand and struck forward, his palm print as large as a mountain, aiming to crush the two ants.

Knowing he couldn't dodge the attack, Di Yi landed on the ground, put down the talented woman from the Holy Book, turned around and activated the Holy Symbol, unleashing the power of the Holy King to meet the attack head-on.

There's no way to escape; the only way to survive is to defeat them.

The King of Qingyang, his face gaunt, stood atop the Holy Minister's head, looking at the tiny figure that was advancing instead of retreating, and felt a slight sense of surprise.

"Is it a divine mandate? It's still nothing but an ant."

The Sacred Symbol burned, transforming into immense power that empowered Emperor Yi, cleaving apart the palm print that was pressing down upon him.

Emperor Yi was completely enveloped in the Divine Flame of Annihilation, transforming into a fiery meteor as he charged toward King Qingyang.

King Qingyang frowned slightly and sneered, "Even a death throes like the Holy Symbol cannot change the outcome."

He casually unleashed another attack, this time with real force, several times more powerful than before.

As the talented woman gazed at the soaring figure disappearing into the sky, two lines of tears involuntarily streamed down her face.

It was all because of her that Di Yi was harmed.

"If there is an afterlife, I hope that our relationship will have a different outcome."

With blood trickling from the corner of his mouth and appearing frantic, Emperor Yi continued to approach King Qingyang.

He gripped the Heaven-Sealing Sword tightly in his right hand, while his left hand held the life-saving item that the Empress had left him before she left.

He had studied this life-saving item for a long time but couldn't figure out what it was or how to use it. Right now, he could only do his best to get close to the Qingyang King and then activate it.

If it is an attack talisman, it can only exert its greatest value when it is close enough.

"It's now."

He suddenly stopped, standing proudly in the void with his sword in hand, facing Qingyang King's attack head-on, and threw the object in his hand.

In an instant, the sky and earth changed color, and a chilling wind blew.

The life-saving item surged with boundless ghostly energy, and in the blink of an eye, a ghost king a hundred feet tall appeared in the void, holding a white bone holy tower, blocking Di Yi's way.

"With Yuan Tu here, who dares to harm my young master?"
