Heavenly Emperor
A trap?
First Layer of the Sage Realm, Soul Emperor Territory
“Where is the Soul Emperor Resurrection Temple located ? Is it still far?” Nie Yuu who kept moving inside the forest which was quite strange by moving on the surface asked Liao Di who was leading the way.
“It won't be far away. That place was near the Soul Emperor Palace. But we take a detour. If we take the usual path, we will definitely arrive very quickly. But there are many souls around. Even if we go through this path, we might be found. At least, this path will be safer.” said Liao Di as he continued to move on land as well.
The forest they passed through was quite high, when viewed from the air, it would be extremely difficult to track down a person if one suppressed their strength to keep from leaking.
Nie Yuu simply nodded and continued to follow Liao Di along with Zi Ling.
During the trip, Nie Yuu also continued to pay attention to the surrounding area. The further he moved towards the center of the Soul Emperor Territory, the more spiritual energy he was in the air also grew denser.
In addition, Nie Yuu was also able to track down the many souls moving near the forest. They all fly in the air. And when a soul approaches their position, all three will remain silent first.
This led Nie Yuu to believe that what Liao Di had said earlier was true that the Soul Emperor seemed to be after him despite not knowing what the Soul Emperor's true purpose was to do.
“Nie Yuu, it seems that they are indeed looking for you. All the Souls that roam near here most of me know them as the most loyal subordinates of the Soul Emperor. This is not natural at all. Although he will try to chase after you, but this is not like the Soul Emperor sending out so many troops.” said Liao Di with a puzzled face as he gazed towards the sky and found some elites under the passing Soul Emperor.
Nie Yuu fell silent because she did not know what to reply. He thought back to when he provoked the Soul Emperor so many troops were sent to capture him.
“Is there any cooperation between the Soul Emperor and Nie En that most likely also came to the First Layer of the Sage Realm? Or Nie Lang?” Inner Nie Yuu with a frown on her face. He felt it was possible even though he did not know that there were other groups trying to hunt him.
“Come, they've gone.” Liao Di moved back towards the Resurrection Emperor Soul Tower. He was currently putting on a serious face as it seemed that something was amiss, and it was likely that the Soul Emperor Resurrection Tower would definitely be guarded by souls as well.
Nie Yuu and Zi Ling nodded then followed Liao Di.
It was not until half an hour later, before the forest they passed was over, that there was a large temple, with a tower high enough at its center.
Nie Yuu, Zi Ling and Liao Di stopped and tried to check all the places.
“Some souls also stand guard around this temple. It seems that the Soul Emperor also predicted that you have the possibility of coming here.” said Liao Di as he moved again out of the forest after checking that all the souls on guard were quite far from where they were.
As the three approached the gate, Nie Yuu who continued to follow Liao Di felt that something was wrong. If it was true that the Soul Emperor predicted himself to come, it was certain that they would not be able to enter the temple, where the Soul Emperor Resurrection Tower was located.
Soul Emperors must have placed great importance on the place, because that was where it had condensed bodies the fastest in the Soul Emperor Territory.
“What because I did have a whole body from the start so that the Soul Emperor did not pay too much attention to this place?” Inner Nie Yuu.
Even Zi Ling felt that something was amiss as she continued to follow Liao Di along with Nie Yuu.
However, not knowing what was wrong, the three continued to move towards the Soul Emperor Resurrection Tower.
When he was close to the Soul Emperor Resurrection Tower, Nie Yuu who used the law of maximum Fate and used the Power of Darkness Penetrating the Age secretly wore an ugly expression suddenly.
“Liao In! This is a trap! Stop!” Shouted Nie Yuu as he directly took out the Dark Demon Sword then swung it towards the right of the Soul Emperor Resurrection Tower.
The sraing!
“What?”
Before Liao Di could understand what Nie Yuu's words meant, the slash launched by Nie Yuu shot out into a blade of qi that instantly tore through space forcibly.
A huge explosion occurred when the qi blade launched by Nie Yuu crashed into something.
Liao Di and Zi Ling also took out their respective weapons to prepare if there were any enemies coming.
Dungs!
Suddenly, a transparent white dome appeared around the Soul Emperor Resurrection Tower. It seemed to slowly collapse into white-colored ash.
After which, the Soul Emperor Resurrection Tower they were heading to looked even further away. And at that very moment, there were many souls floating in the air.
“High level Spiritual Illusion Formation! Damn, I did not expect that the Soul Emperor would set up a formation around the Soul Emperor Resurrection Tower!” liao Di said with a grim face as he stared towards the air. His face sank even more when he saw two familiar figures.
“Liao In! I didn't expect that you would come along with the two intruders! You have been silent all this time because your soul power has drastically decreased due to your fight against the Soul Emperor!” said one soul who had a slightly transparent body, he was one of the subordinates of the Soul Emperor trust that had condensed his body 45% with the Tier God Exalt Late soul force.
“Huang Li!” Liao Di gnashed his teeth firmly as he looked towards the soul named Huang Li.
Huang Li simply stared towards Liao Di coldly. He looked towards Nie Yuu and Zi Ling and had to admit that he was also surprised that there was a whole human in the Soul Emperor Territory.
To Nie Yuu, he gazed towards the distance with his eyes narrowed slightly. The distance of the Soul Emperor Resurrection Tower was about 400 meters from its current location.
“Nie Yuu, what will we do?” Zi Ling asked as she closely heard Divine Sword Zi Que. He was certainly able to sense the extremely powerful spiritual power of Huang Li. Not only him, there were two more who possessed a spiritual power of the same level.
“We have no other choice. Before that, I want to ask you Liao Di. Are you sure you want to continue working with me? It seems that they will definitely let you go if they do not interfere in the affairs of the Soul Emperor.” Nie Yuu glanced at Liao Di.
Hearing what Nie Yuu was asking, Liao Di fell silent because he knew that he would definitely be released by the Souls for some reason.
This was what Nie Yuu thought upon hearing what Huang Li had said earlier that Liao Di had once looked at the therapeutic Soul Emperor he was released from. There must be something to do with Liao Di and the Soul Emperor.
“Yes, they will definitely let me go because of something. But if I interfere further, the Soul Emperor might personally hunt me down. However..”
Liao Di's countenance changed drastically as he stopped his words for a while and stared coldly at Huang Li.
“But I will keep working with you because I have other goals! Huang Li, tell Liao Fang that our relationship has ended at this time. Get out of this place before I destroy you!” liao Di said very coldly.
“Liao Fang?” Inner Nie Yuu and Zi Ling were shocked. The two of them instantly understood why Liao Di who had challenged the extremely ambitious Soul Emperor could escape Death. This is because both can be said to be family.
Huan Li who heard that also broke the jade in his hand which suddenly appeared.
Liao Di was well aware of what Huang Li had destroyed that made his face even more grim.
“Nie Yuu! Move quickly! Liao Fang will be coming to this place soon!” Shouted Liao Di as an extremely terrifying spiritual power emanated from his body. He was well aware that it would not take long for Liao Fang to arrive at the temple because the location of the Soul Emperor Palace was very close to the Soul Emperor Resurrection Tower.
The souls in the air put on a cold face as they stared at Liao Di exerting his immense spiritual power.
Even Nie Yuu who had originally seen that spiritual power clearly understood why in the past Liao Di was able to challenge the Soul Emperor.
“Semi-eternal Soul! He still has spiritual power! I can see at this moment that Liao Di's soul is seriously injured. If not for the Semi-eternal Soul, it would have been sure that his soul would have withered long ago!” Inner Nie Yuu while looking at the spiritual power that exploded all over the place.
