The Emperor Reigns Them All

Chapter 312 Asking for Trouble

While Li Ye was meditating in the tent, the army attack on Qinzhou City was still continuing. Only that the cultivators above the Spiritual Master Realm from both sides had tacitly withdrew from the battle. So the battlefield returned to a state of physical combat between the two armies.

After returning to camp, the Son of God, You Daxiao were in a complicated mood and restless. The more he thought the more he couldn’t calm down. He paced back and forth in the tent, which made the nine-tail Demon Fox dizzy. He then lifted the curtain and went out of the tent to find Li Ye.

When he was approaching the camp gate, he saw Nangong Diyi coming from the opposite side. They stopped at the door tacitly and looked at each other. They were both silent at first. Then immediately, Nangong Diyi snorted, raised his chin and squinted at the Son of God, asking, “What are you doing here?”

The Son of God responded coldly, “What are you doing here?”

Nangong Diyi replied, “How is it your business what I’m doing here?”

The Son of God scowled and added, “Are you looking for trouble?”

Nangong Diyi was not afraid at all, holding the sword handle with his backhand and replied, “I’ve put up with you for a long time, and you’re due for a beating. Come on, choose a day and place, let’s battle...”

The Son of God had already punched Nangong Diyi’s face before he could finish his words. Nangong Diyi was knocked to the ground because he didn’t see it coming. The Son of God sneered and said, “I can beat you anytime!”

Nangong Diyi wiped the blood on the corner of his mouth. He was not angry but happy. He pulled out his sword and added, “I’m gonna cut a piece of your flesh to devour with my wine!”

The Son of God was disdainful, and was about to attack again and battle it out with Nangong Diyi. Then suddenly a low voice came, “This is the military camp, how can you fight in front of all the troops? Where do you place military order? You do not want to keep your heads?”

The voice was strong and deep, which shocked the Son of God and Nangong so much that their minds were out of it and they almost tripped themselves and fell on the ground. Those two calmed their minds and searched for the source of the sound. Sure enough, they saw the Holy Child King that acted as an elder approaching with his hands behind his back.

Seeing the Red Child scanning the surroundings, the Son of God was indifferent. He added, “I am the chief of the demon clan, and now you are under my jurisdiction—you dare to reproach to your superior, do you know military order at all?”

The red child glanced at the Son of God and did not conceal his disdain. He replied, “I lost a bet to Li Ye, not to you. I am as good as my word. So naturally I will listen to your orders, but you want me to respect you, that is simply wishful thinking. You are not worthy!”

The Son of God’s face was getting surly. “You’d better be...”

Nangong Diyi punched his cheek before he could finish his words. He suddenly fell down and Nangong Diyi looked down at him. He waved his fist and said, “Get it clear in your head that you only managed to get the better of me with a sneak attack. And you want to pretend as if nothing had happened. Impossible!”

The Son of God lost all pride, he stared angrily at Nangong Diyi and then looked angrily at the Holy Child. Dark smoke rose from his body suddenly and sharply, which had almost covered his body. He said, “I, You Daniao, the most talented son of the Heaven-meddling Sage, how dare you treat me this way! Do you really think that I only have the strength of a Yang Spiritual Master? Today, I will show you how powerful I am...”

“Stock that racket! If you want to yell, go elsewhere. Your Highness is still meditating in seclusion. This kind of behavior is intolerable!”

The Son of God’s words were ruthlessly interrupted again. A moment ago, his momentum had already reached the edge of the eruption, like a volcano about to erupt. But when he heard this sentence, his whole momentum plummeted. The dark smoke around him suddenly disappeared. He looked like a frost-beaten eggplant and weakly lowered his head, which was a little pitiful to behold.

The Holy Child was also domineering a moment ago. He looked down upon at everyone. At this moment however, he also condensed all the momentum and stood aside obediently with a kind smile on his face.

Even Nangong Diyi obediently put away his Awaken Sword, and extinguished the aggressive spirit that made him wanted to smack the Son of God. He stood with his arms crossed and barely maintained a cold and proud look.

The person who spoke was Su Emei, who was outside the big tent.

All this racket had made Su Emei angry. Although they were still a long way from the tent of the troops, she was quite unhappy. For a Great Cultivator, such a distance was nothing at all. Li Ye could feel the movement clearly. This was exactly what Su Emei was worried about. She didn’t want anyone to disturb him, especially when Li Ye was obviously in the critical period of elevation.

Seeing Su Emei approach with a casual step, the Son of God, Holy Child, and Nangong Diyi all stood by the gates and knew not to interrupt. Everyone was well aware of Su Emei’s position, they knew that sometimes Su Emei represented Li Ye. And she was not someone they wanted to mess with—of course there was another condition that no one messed with Li Ye.

The Holy Child asked Su Emei politely, “When will Li Ye come out?”

Su Emei replied lightly, “I don’t know.” After that reply, she turned away.

The Holy Child did not care, he just stood at the camp gate and did not intend to leave.

The Son of God glanced at the Holy Child and said, “Who knows the great Holy Child King should be obedient and even wait for a mortal in a place like the military camp?”

The Holy Child glanced at the Son of God, and he looked overbearing with his arms crossed. He said, “If you have the skill to instantly kill seven Ground Immortal Realm masters, I can also wait for you in a place like this.”

The Son of God retorted. “You are the son of the Pingtian Sage, a master of the Sky Immortal Realm. Your True-fire of Samadhi has made Monkey King helpless, but yet you can’t handle seven Ground Immortal Realm masters?”

The Holy Child looked indifferently. “Even seventeen cultivators in the Ground Immortal Realm are nothing to me, much less seven. But you, a Yang Spiritual Master, talk too much. Do you know that one Ground Immortal Realm master could kill you? Maybe you’ll die sometime soon!”

The Son of God laughed and said, “If I died so easily, I would not be known as You Daxiao.”

While they were waiting at the camp gate, Li Ye made no progress. How the Dragon Qi itself was formed Li Ye could not figure out. The Dragon Qi that had been awakened was unable to communicate with him. The Dragon Qi was now tired and sleeping. Li Ye thought that this was not something to be rushed, and it needed time to comprehend. The thing he could grasp accurately was that after the Dragon Qi turned purple, its strength had increased greatly, and it was no longer the same as before.

When Li Ye got the opportunity to transform the Dragon Qi into purple, some people were stirring up the situation in the hinterland of the Central Plains which had just calmed down. They were planning a storm that intended to overthrow the world.

The commissioner of Xuanwu, Zhu Wen, who had previously sent a messenger to express his support for the war that Li Ye crusaded against Hedong by offering military support. Because the Pinglu Army’s battle progressed too fast, now, the Xuanwu Army had just deployed troops on the bank of the Yellow River. They were preparing to ferry from the north of Yellow River into Zhaoyi territory, and merge with the Pinglu Army to crusade against Hedong.

At this moment, Zhu Wen met someone he could never have expected.
