Chapter 1395: Chapter 0792 Can You Move Me? Chapter 1395: Chapter 0792 Can You Move Me? Chapter 0792: Can You Move Me?

Just now, before the gates of the Grand Ancestor Temple, the ground was drenched in blood from the massacre by Ghost Face No.1 and the glinting sand, within a short span of time, three to four hundred Gold Core cultivators had been slain by them. Had Emperor Liuyong and the three Princes not realized that things had taken an extremely unfavorable turn for them and promptly knelt before Qi Tian to beg for mercy, perhaps all the Gold Core cultivators summoned by Emperor Liuyong and his party would have perished there and then.

In the whole process, the ten Ghost Faces were the absolute main force. They carried out Qi Tian’s orders thoroughly, with no one daring to shirk their duties for fear of displeasing Qi Tian. They worried that any negligence would result in them being hacked to pieces without anything good coming out of it.

Now that Qi Tian had issued another clear instruction, Ghost Face No.1, who hadn’t yet had his fill of killing, instantly transformed into a whirlwind and pounced towards Emperor Zhi Wu.

Emperor Zhi Wu nearly let out a string of curses. He had not agreed to spar with Ghost Face No.1. Didn’t Qi Tian know to at least respect the opinion of the person involved? When he had been the one urging Qi Tian to spar earlier, he had asked for Qi Tian’s consent over and over again. Now when it was his turn, why was he being strong-armed into it?

Emperor Zhi Wu was very unwilling to engage in this sparring match, not having prepared for it, but things had progressed to a point out of his control. The power to decide lay in Qi Tian’s hands. Whatever Qi Tian said, he had to comply with, without any room for negotiation.

Ghost Face No.1 was incredibly fast. In the blink of an eye, he had closed in on Emperor Zhi Wu and launched a direct and ferocious attack on Emperor Jianwu, starting off with a deadly move and not holding back in the slightest.

Emperor Zhi Wu was still very confident in himself. He was well aware that the series of actions he took was tantamount to rebellion. He dared to rebel because he had the strength to back it up. This confidence stemmed not only from the several Nascent Soul Stage magic weapons he possessed but also from his own prowess. Although it was a forced hand, Emperor Zhi Wu swiftly counterattacked and quickly became entangled in a fight with Ghost Face No.1.

Emperor Zhi Wu did not hold anything back, bringing all of his skills into play. He and Ghost Face No.1 were evenly matched, with neither able to secure a definitive victory for a time, their skills appeared to be about the same.

Seeing this outcome, Qi Tian couldn’t help but regard Emperor Zhi Wu more highly. Emperor Zhi Wu’s current combat strength was extremely formidable; even stronger than when he had struck with his sword at Qi Tian earlier. If Emperor Zhi Wu had unleashed such a powerful combat strength earlier, Qi Tian might not have been able to withstand it.

Qi Tian became quite curious about Emperor Zhi Wu and wanted to see what secrets were hidden within him. Why could someone of the Gold Core Stage 4th Level hold his own in a fight against a Nascent Soul Stage Ghost Face No.1? This was extremely abnormal.

Qi Tian immediately used the exploration function of the Heavenly Dao Engine to lock onto Emperor Zhi Wu’s spirit Qi. He conducted a detailed and thorough search of Emperor Zhi Wu, inside and out, hoping to unearth his secrets.

Upon investigation, he actually discovered quite a bit. In the three-dimensional holographic image relayed by the Heavenly Dao Engine, Emperor Zhi Wu was resplendent, shining brilliantly and dazzlingly, more formidable than any Nascent Soul entity Qi Tian had ever encountered.

Carefully examining the holographic image of Emperor Zhi Wu, Qi Tian scrutinized meticulously and finally concluded that Emperor Zhi Wu had concealed his cultivation level. He was actually not at the Gold Core Stage 4th Level, but much higher, having reached the peak of the Gold Core Realm. However, this was not the main reason Emperor Zhi Wu could unleash combat power comparable to the Nascent Soul Stage. In fact, there were two main reasons; the first was that Emperor Zhi Wu wore as many as five Nascent Soul Stage magic weapons, rather than the mere two he had shown to others. These weapons had a cumulative effect, enhancing both offensive and defensive powers, significantly increasing Emperor Zhi Wu’s combat and defensive abilities.

The second reason was a jade pendant worn by Emperor Zhi Wu, an extraordinary item. Qi Tian sensed the presence of a Nascent Soul entity within this pendant, meaning it likely harbored a living Nascent Soul entity, which was very powerful but probably lacked combat power. This entity, lurking within the pendant, was engaged in a discreet endeavor, the nature of which Qi Tian wasn’t quite sure. The only certainty for Qi Tian was that Emperor Zhi Wu’s impressive abilities were inextricably linked to this pendant.

Qi Tian was inwardly astounded, unable to fathom why Emperor Zhi Wu possessed so many treasures. Could it be that Emperor Zhi Wu plundered a Saint’s Tomb within the Imperial Family Secret Territory? But that didn’t seem right.

The Nascent Soul Stage magic weapons and the jade pendant worn by Emperor Zhi Wu differed markedly from the treasures Qi Tian had excavated from a Saint’s Tomb. The latter, due to being buried underground for a long time and found within a tomb, inevitably contained a hint of Yin energy. However, the items on Emperor Zhi Wu carried no such aura.

Could it be that Emperor Zhi Wu had acquired all these treasures before entering the Imperial Family Secret Territory? But that seemed unlikely too. If Emperor Zhi Wu carried that many treasures, having been in the Secret Territory for so many years, especially when he had just entered and hadn’t assumed the title of Prince, preferring to take refuge under Emperor Liuyong’s wing, Emperor Liuyong, despite considering Emperor Zhi Wu his blood relation, would not have completely trusted him. Surely there must have been investigations and possibly prolonged covert surveillance of Emperor Zhi Wu. If there were so many treasures on him, it was implausible that none would have been revealed at that time.
