Chapter 378 - 378 377 Standoff in Front of South Heavenly Gate

378: Chapter 377: Standoff in Front of South Heavenly Gate 378: Chapter 377: Standoff in Front of South Heavenly Gate He even tried to squeeze Ye Xuan like a soft persimmon, hoping to preserve his own face to some extent.

But Emperor Zhenwu had not expected that Emperor Ziwei would react so strongly, really wanting to fight him.

This shocked Emperor Zhenwu heart deeply, as he didn’t know the relationship between Ye Xuan and Emperor Ziwei.

It wasn’t just Emperor Zhenwu who thought this way.

The rest of the immortals had similar thoughts, with everyone’s gaze fixed on Ye Xuan, their eyes showing curiosity and wonder about who he was that Emperor Ziwei valued him so greatly.

South Sea Guanyin, with eyes slightly narrowed, a streak of golden light flashed across her eyes as she tried to perceive Ye Xuan’s true form.

However, an extremely eerie fluctuation burst around Ye Xuan, preventing South Sea Guanyin from glimpsing his true form.

What was she joking?

Ye Xuan, who had enclosed himself for three hundred years, didn’t increase his cultivation, but he had, through the Reverse Immortal Array, fully understood the Primordial Spirit Void Secret Technique.

Even if South Sea Guanyin was a Daluo Golden Immortal, how could she see through his true form?

Ye Xuan naturally felt South Sea Guanyin’s prying eyes and turned to look back at South Sea Guanyin.

When their gazes met, a muffled sound came from the void, causing South Sea Guanyin’s expression to change slightly as she quickly withdrew her gaze, though a hint of confusion crossed her eyes.

“Hmph, a mere Golden Immortal knows no hierarchy.

If it weren’t for Ziwei here today, I’d have taught you a lesson.”

Emperor Zhenwu wasn’t foolish enough to start a war with Emperor Ziwei.

He feigned authority and rebuked Ye Xuan, then strode towards the South Heavenly Gate, heading for the Thirty-Three Layered Heaven.

But before he could take a few steps, the calm voice of Ye Xuan sounded, causing Emperor Zhenwu to falter, his face turning extremely ashen, and the atmosphere in this piece of heaven and earth turning weirdly silent.

“You should be thankful to escape with your life today.

If not for Brother Ziwei here, I would have made you understand what ‘a fate worse than death’ means.”

The group of immortals stood in stunned silence.

Emperor Zhenwu clenched his fists, and even South Sea Guanyin and Marshal Tian Peng, the Barefoot Immortal, wore extremely strange expressions, looking at Ye Xuan with astonishment.

Has this person gone mad?

He’s just a Luotian Golden Immortal, how dare he spout such madness to Emperor Zhenwu?

Or is it because Emperor Ziwei is backing him, allowing him to insult Emperor Zhenwu so blatantly?

Various thoughts arose in the minds of the immortals, each one staring at Ye Xuan with a mix of shock and confusion.

“This man has got some nerve; relying on Emperor Ziwei being by his side, he dares to insult Emperor Zhenwu so boldly.

I fear Emperor Zhenwu won’t let this go easily.”

“Indeed, now that Emperor Ziwei protects him, but how can Emperor Ziwei always be by his side?

This man’s end will probably be extremely miserable.”

“Hmph, it’s baffling how this person cultivated to become a Luotian Golden Immortal.

Doesn’t he know that in the eyes of a Daluo Golden Immortal, even a Luotian Golden Immortal is just an ant, easy to crush?”

“Indeed, does he think he’s Emperor Dongji?

Can a mere Luotian Golden Immortal stand against a Daluo Golden Immortal?

He’s simply courting death!”

The group of immortals erupted in murmurs.

Although their voices were soft, they reached Ye Xuan’s ears clearly.

However, Ye Xuan remained indifferent, his mind unswayed.

Originally, Ye Xuan didn’t want to bother with Emperor Zhenwu at all, but since the latter targeted him as if he were a pushover, how could Ye Xuan remain silent?

Ye Xuan was never one to suffer in silence when tread upon, not even in the face of Emperor Dongji.

Anyone who wished to trample over him would have to pay a grievous price.

Had it not been for his concealed identity and coming to the Heavenly Court with Emperor Ziwei today, had they met alone elsewhere, Ye Xuan would surely have activated the Reverse Immortal Array.

Whether or not he could kill Emperor Dongji, he would certainly make him experience Ye Xuan’s fearsome powers.

“Do you know what you’re saying?”

Emperor Dongji’s face darkened like still water as he slowly turned to look at Ye Xuan, murder radiating from his eyes as if looking at a dead man.

“Do you dare to say that again?” Emperor Dongji demanded coldly.

Facing Emperor Dongji’s fury, Ye Xuan laughed, truly laughed, but his smile gave one chills, as if a great, indescribable terror lurked within it.

“Daluo Golden Immortal?”

Ye Xuan smirked and said, “In my eyes, your kind of Daluo Golden Immortal isn’t worth mentioning, just a waste.

If I were to reach the level of Daluo Golden Immortal, I could kill you with a flick of my fingers right here and now.”

The Heaven and Earth fell silent, the immortals speechless.

The atmosphere became oppressively quiet, all eyes turning to Ye Xuan as if looking at a madman.

He’s gone mad, truly mad.

Does he even realize what he’s saying?

Does he truly wish for death?

“Very well.”

The Heavenly Vault split, murder filling the skies, and Daluo Immortal Light rippled in all directions.

Emperor Dongji laughed furiously, deeply imprinting Ye Xuan’s image in his eyes, and said in a harsh and cruel voice, “Boy, you are the first to dare speak to this Emperor like this.

You better hope you keep staying by Ziwei’s side; otherwise, this Emperor will make you wish you could never reincarnate.”

Emperor Dongji flung his sleeves and strode towards the Thirty-Three Layered Heaven, but everyone looking at Ye Xuan saw only a dead man.

Because everyone knew, being remembered by Emperor Dongji like this, Ye Xuan had only one fate: death.

“Brother, you are too rash,”

Although Emperor Ziwei knew that Ye Xuan did not fear the Daluo Golden Immortals and even had the capacity to fight them, offending someone like Emperor Dongji was undoubtedly unwise.

“Brother, don’t worry.

If he keeps to his place, then so be it.

But if he dares to provoke me, I will let him know what it means to die with one’s eyes unshut.” Ye Xuan spoke calmly, his demeanor utterly placid as if he were discussing a trivial matter.

“Rest assured, brother.

If Dongji dares to act recklessly, I will be the first to not let him off,” declared Emperor Ziwei solemnly before he beckoned Ye Xuan to enter the Heavenly Court with him, disappearing from the sight of the immortals.

In truth, Ye Xuan was not arrogant nor did he disregard Emperor Dongji lightly.

Since he dared return to the Heavenly Court with means to fight against Daluo Golden Immortals, such restraint was not in Ye Xuan’s nature.

He had not revealed his true form yet simply to avoid complications; he would not be riled by someone like Emperor Dongji who was hardly worth his attention.

The ones truly worthy of his attention were the Ancient Twelve Golden Immortals and the unfathomably cultivated Jade Emperor—these were his greatest adversaries.

Little did Ye Xuan know, his actions, once spread by those with intent, completely exposed him to the Heavenly immortals, and even some great immortals arriving at the Heavenly Court were informed of the exceedingly arrogant Luo Tian Golden Immortal beside Emperor Ziwei.
