Imperial God Emperor Chapter 1029 Someone Who Shouldn’st Have Appeared at the Peak

Chapter 1029 – Someone Who Shouldn’t Have Appeared at the Peak

Mo Jin asked this question very subtly but Ye Qingyu immediately understood what he meant.

Who else could Little Loli from the White Deer Academy be but Song Xiaojun?

“Who asked you to ask this question?”

Ye Qingyu was so emotional that his voice became a little shaky.

Song Xiaojun was very precious to him.

Every man would have a woman who they never would be able to forget, and the woman that Ye Qingyu was unable to forget was Song Xiaojun. Unfortunately, whatever happened to Song Xiaojun had been far too extraordinary. She turned from the shy Little Loli into the mistress of the Unmoving City of Darkness, and the awakening of her blood had also caused her to lose her memories.

Despite the recent elevation of his status, Ye Qingyu had never given up his search for Song Xiaojun, but to his disappointment, he had not been able to make any progress.

The Unmoving City of Darkness was like a taboo name throughout the Vast Thousand Domains, and even though he was now the third deputy spokesperson of the Human Race, there were still limits to his authority that prevented him from finding out more.

“Oh, some woman named Wang Jianru asked me to pose this question to you.”

The round-faced Prince turned around and studied Ye Qingyu’s expression with interest. Then, he exclaimed regretfully, as though he had suddenly thought of something, “If I had known that I could have gotten such an intense reaction from you with this simple question, I would have abruptly brought it out when we were battling earlier. I might have even been able to land a hit to your face if you were distracted enough. That was a true misstep on my part.”

Ye Qingyu ignored the Prince.

Wang Jianru?

Was it her?

That was a name from his distant past.

The female sword immortal had left a deep impression on him.

She had been Wang Yan, the female instructor at White Deer Academy. Her looks were average and there was nothing particularly outstanding about her, so many students at the academy had secretly made fun of her. However, after the incident with Song Xiaojun, the average-looking Wang Yan suddenly transformed into a female sword immortal with matchless beauty and stunned Deer City with one sword.

Ye Qingyu realized that he was still overcome with astonishment when he thought back to that scene.

His martial way had yet to form back in those days, but now that he looked back at his memory of that scene, he was still amazed by her sword. The swordsmanship that Wang Jianru had displayed was comparable to the swordsmanship displayed by the three Great Saints at the fourth checkpoint. In fact, it had an added layer of charm and appeal compared to the three master swordsmen.

He had also tried to find out more about Wang Jianru.

Unfortunately, he had also come back empty-handed.

It was obvious from Mo Jin’s words that he knew Wang Jianru.

“Where is she?”

Ye Qingyu asked anxiously.

Mo Jin turned his hands up and shrugged his shoulders as he said with a wry smile, “The last time I saw her was a month ago. She was at the Unmoving City of Darkness then. I’m sure you’ve heard about the Unmoving City of Darkness, right? I’m not exactly sure where she is right now though.”

Ye Qingyu looked at him and saw that the round-faced Prince was telling the truth.

“Are you also connected to the Unmoving City of Darkness? Is that why you said you didn’t dare to attack me the previous time?” he asked as he started to put the pieces together.

Mo Jin shot him a sly smile and he looked very proud of himself, which was at odds with his cowardly appearance, “You should’ve figured that out earlier. The Demon Spider Race comes from darkness and was already part of the Dark Race a long time ago, since the Fiendgod Age. We’re obviously connected to the Unmoving City of Darkness.”

Realization dawned on him.

It all made sense now.

He had not considered it from that angle at all and did not connect the Demon Spider Race to the Unmoving City of Darkness, so his investigation naturally did not focus on this connection at all. Otherwise, he might have already obtained a lot more information.

Mo Jin’s tremendous surge in power must have been related to the Unmoving City of Darkness as well.

“The Unmoving City of Darkness… Where is it exactly?”

Ye Qingyu finally blurted out curiously.

This was something that he had been dying to find out.

“I can’t tell you that,” Mo Jin immediately answered.

Then, he jumped in fright when he noticed that Ye Qingyu looked as though he was about to attack, and hastily tacked on, “Relax, I know you’re looking for somebody. There’s no need to get so worked up about it because the Unmoving City of Darkness will soon reappear on the Road of Chaos. Naturally, you’ll be able to see her again… Also, she will personally answer all the questions that you’ve been wanting to ask, and she is the only person who’ll be able to answer your questions. If I dare to say anything else, I’ll die a tragic death.”

The chubby Mo Jin immediately ran out of the valley with a hop and a skip, looking terribly afraid.

Ye Qingyu knew that he would not be able to get any more information from Mo Jin, so he did not attack him.

Some of his uncertainty had been cleared up, but he still had many questions that remained unanswered.

Most importantly, Mo Jin mentioned that he was not part of the same gang as the Greater One Spiritual Master and Yang Wanqu, yet he was still assigned to be the guardian of the fifth checkpoint. This showed that he was part of the Four Stars Sect’s [Camp]. Did that also mean that the Unmoving City of Darkness had also formed an alliance with the Four Stars Sect? This was not something he wanted to see.

He remained standing where he was and exerted his nameless breathing technique to steady his mental state. Soon afterward, he calmed down.

He would put everything aside for now because his top priority was to first scale to the top of Capital Sky Peak. If he could not change the outcome of this battle, everything else would be like a fanciful pipe dream.

He walked out of the valley.

There was a wide stone path ahead.

The terrifying Quasi-emperor pressure had suddenly disappeared.

Everything had reverted back to normal.

The strangest thing was that all the wind and snow had also disappeared, even at this high of an altitude. Instead, it was warm, and the stones on the mountain path were dry. Normally, the mountaintop would be the coldest part of the mountain and would be covered by snow all year round, yet it was the complete opposite here. There was not a trace of wind or snow, nor were there any flora or fauna. The only thing that he could see was the ochre rocks.

Did the Dao battle between Quasi-emperors cause the climate at the mountaintop to change?

He walked slowly but with determination as he continued to recalibrate his body.

He reached the end of the mountain path after an hour.

He had finally arrived at the peak.

The top of Capital Sky Peak was not very big and it took up an area of roughly 6 thousand square meters. Rocks and stones were scattered haphazardly all over the soil and it did not look like the majestic peak from his imagination. Rather, it looked more like a plot of land with unmarked graves that rarely welcomed any visitors.

All of this did not matter.

What mattered were the people at the peak.

He looked up and was left gaping in shock.

Contrary to his expectations, it was not only [Quasi-emperor Xiaofei], Quasi-emperor Mushan, and the Quasi-emperor of the Four Stars Sect who were at the peak, but there were also dozens of other spectators. He did not see the earth-shattering, Dao battle scene that he had been expecting either. Instead, there was not a single trace of energy that leaked out, nor was there any sign of wind.

These three Quasi-emperors stood in a triangle and they were extremely silent, their faces devoid of any expression.

These three figures each represented the pinnacle of power in this generation.

He was absolutely sure that if any one of these Quasi-emperors released a shred of energy, the majestic Capital Sky Peak would be completely destroyed.

However, there was no sign of energy waves emitting from the bodies of these three Dao emperors.

Their hair and their clothes did not move at all and everything was perfectly still. They could be mistaken for extremely realistic statues at first glance.

Everyone else stood around the outer fringes and kept a distance of about one hundred meters from the Quasi-emperors.

These people also remained absolutely still, as though they had been struck by some mysterious charm. They neither spoke nor breathed and they were like statues. It was as though they were frozen in time and everything had stopped at that particular moment.

The scene was incredibly odd.

Ye Qingyu was immediately on high-alert. What is going on?

What happened here?

His gaze moved away from the three Quasi-emperors and examined everyone at the peak. As expected, he saw Four Stars holy girl, and was slightly surprised to see the successor of the Sky Meteor Sect. Then, he saw a few unfamiliar faces, but he was certain that they held lofty positions. But then, he saw…

“Hmm? Isn’t that… the million-year-old soul?”

He spotted a familiar figure. It was the million-year-old soul who had merged with the Immortal Body.

He should’ve known that the million-year-old soul would be here.

That’s odd. His heart suddenly dropped when he realized that these people must have had to pass the five checkpoints to arrive at the peak as well. The guardians of the various checkpoints were still alive after these people had passed, but he had killed four experts from the Four Stars Sect on his way up… Did that mean that he was already consumed by such bloodthirst without realizing it?

I’ve sinned.

This thought flashed past his mind, then his attention returned to the million-year-old soul, who stood motionless just like everyone else, as though he had been fossilized.

He was about to approach the million-year-old soul secretly to greet him and use this opportunity to find out more when something caught his eye. Then, his mouth gaped open in disbelief and he was left completely dumbfounded.

He had spotted someone else.

Someone who should have definitely never been able to make it here.

Nan Tieyi.

Ye Qingyu was sure that the person standing next to a yellow rock was Nan Tieyi, the young lord of the Immortal God Emperor Sect who had mysteriously vanished at the [Seven Elements Relief Palace]. He would recognize his friend anywhere. Even if Nan Tieyi’s back was facing him, he would still be able to recognize him.

How… could this be?

What had happened to Nan Tieyi?

He could not believe that Nan Tieyi was here.

He could not believe his eyes.

Did he have some miraculous encounter?

Now that he was certain that Nan Tieyi was alive, Ye Qingyu was extremely excited. He forgot about everything else and strode up to Nan Tieyi, then raised his hand to gently pat his shoulder. He was just about to say something when a terrifying force exploded from Nan Tieyi’s shoulder which blew his arm into a bloody mist.

What a frightening force.

He was extremely shocked and immediately retreated at the speed of light. At the same time, his blood qi circulated and his shredded arm immediately grew back.

What just happened?

His physical cultivation was outrageously strong and he knew that he would rank amongst the top in that aspect. Legendary divine weapons would not be able to injure him even if they hacked at his arm, so he was surprised to find that the five-element force from Nan Tieyi’s body could have turned his arm into a bloody mist so easily. How could that possibly happen?

Something was wrong.

This force did not originate from Nan Tieyi.

Rather…

He was no fool and had already realized that something was wrong.
