The Wine Shop of Eternity
Chapter 218 –Dad Emperor
Xue Yangkai ordered his corpse puppet to destroy the emperor's subordinates through their spiritual connection.
After obtaining his orders, the corpse puppets immediately went into action and started attacking the imperial guards and subordinates of the emperor. It was like a ferocious wolf being thrown into a meadow filled with a flock of sheep. Even the mightiest emperor's subordinates could barely sustain his ferocious attacks. It would not take much time before their side was destroyed by this monstrous creature!
Emperor Elyk was furious at the grievous death of his subjects, but then, he saw a man carrying a young girl slowly walking towards the corpse doll. And just as the emperor was about to sigh in relief, he suddenly discovered that Jiu Shen had stopped in his tracks.
Emperor Elyk was confused by his actions. ‘Why did Wine Master Jiu stop? This continues..’.
Bang out!!
An old man suddenly appeared in front of the corpse doll. The old man's eyes shone with an intelligent light as if he was a learned individual. His gray beard and sparse white hair looked so long that it almost reached his waist.
The old man looked extremely weak with a thin body and sunken cheeks, but his expression was calm as he stared at the evil monster in front of him. There was no expression of fear or horror in his eyes!
Seeing this man, Emperor Elyk smiled in relief as he muttered softly. “Dad.”
Xue Yangkai also discovered the sudden appearance of the man and he was surprised by his speed. He could not even sense his arrival and if not for the sudden cessation of his corpse puppet, he would not have noticed the old man's presence. ‘Is he the hidden expert Elder Ming is wary of? He looks weak, but in order for him to remain calm in the presence of my corpse doll, he should be a little stronger than me. Who is this old man?’ He muttered in his heart as he looked at the frail-looking old man below.
Jiu Shen calmly looked at the old man as he studied it in great detail with his spiritual perception. “He failed in his lightning tribulation that left serious injuries on his physical body, but somehow he managed to heal himself. However, it would be difficult to break through to the Nascent God Realm in its current state. His dantian might explode if he were to forcefully attempt a breakthrough and this would turn him into a normal person without cultivating. So that's why he sealed himself inside the crystal coffin.” Jiu Shen said inwardly.
“Meow! The old man might be able to defeat that ugly creature if he went all out. The only problem was that there was still one corpse puppet that strong. Smelly humans, do you want me to help them?” Ice said as she placed the milk bottle in her hand. He then looked at Jiu Shen's face with his pair of big, adorable eyes.
Jiu Shen rubbed his head gently and replied calmly. “Not at this time. I could feel a much stronger presence slowly walking in this direction. If I'm not mistaken, that person should be Elder Ming.”
Ice became ‘oh’ after hearing her words and she looked left and right in an attempt to sense the strong presence Jiu Shen spoke of, but after seeing it a few times, she looked back, he still could not sense Elder Ming's presence, so he turned his gaze back to Jiu Shen and pouted. “Scented man, why can't I feel the presence you're talking about? Are you probably lying to me? Meow!”
Jiu Shen tapped her head lightly, making her ‘ow’ several times.
“That's because you don't know how to use your spiritual senses. You have strong spiritual power, but you don't even know how to use it properly. If you remain obedient, I will teach you a thing or two about it. ” Jiu Shen said as she pinched her swollen cheeks.
Hmph!
Ice snorted and crossed his arms, but he remained silent after that. He wanted to learn how to properly utilize his spiritual power, so he could only resist his urge to scratch Jiu Shen's face.
Facing the corpse doll, Elyk Silveria II suddenly stomped her feet to the ground, creating a deep hole in the process.
[Dad Emperor Elyk Silveria III \= Elyk Silveria II]
The sudden action of this old man made the corpse puppet lose its balance, making it almost fall to the ground.
Seeing this rare opportunity, the old man's wise eyes emitted an intense chill as he unleashed a palm strike aimed at the corpse puppet's head, but before he could hit the corpse doll head, he suddenly felt a cold sensation behind him, so he quickly retreated.
Bang out!
A deep crater formed where he had just stood and the ground also turned black as it slowly corroded.
It was another corpse doll with long, thin twisted arms that looked very strange. There was black pus on the arms of this corpse doll. The creature was only half the size of Xue Yangkai's corpse puppet, but this creature looked even more deadly with its corrosive black pus.
Clap it! Clap it! Clap it!
“I didn't think the former emperor of the Silver Wing Empire was alive. What a surprise! Others might not be able to recognize you, but how could I, your good friend Xue Yangkun, fail to recognize you? Hahaha!” A light burst of laughter resounded throughout the place.
Everyone glanced to the side and saw an old man holding a cane. He looked older than the old man, but his gloomy eyes contained a strong sense of oppression that made everyone on the scene feel fear in their hearts.
“The old man... He is the highest elder of the Xue Family!”.
“Xue Yangkun!”
“What did he say?! This old man is a former emperor. That means he..”.
Everyone slowly turned their gaze to the old man wearing a plain white robe. His clear and intelligent eyes scanned the crowd. The old man's gaze took a little longer on Jiu Shen before he turned his gaze away from her. He then glanced at Xue Yangkun who was grinning with a calm look.
“I never thought that someone of my generation was alive to this day. How are you, Xue Yangkun?” The old man asked in a gentle tone. It was as if the two were good friends, but everyone could feel a strange atmosphere as the two old men spoke.
“Hahaha! I feel great! I thought you would die under the surprise attack of my corpse puppet, but who knew that your strength did not even diminish after so many years?” Xue Yangkun sounded a little jealous when he said that.
The old man remained silent after hearing his words.
Xue Yangkun's eyes twitched due to the old man's silence. He then glared at Xue Yangkai who was hovering in the sky and shouted at him. “You useless fool! Get down here! You cannot even kill a weak 8th rank God realm dog!”
Xue Yangkai felt angry and humiliated after hearing that, but he still lowered his head with a dark expression. “I've created an opportunity for you, but you can't even kill that old man!” He shouted back in response.
Hearing this, Xue Yangkun swallowed the curse he was about to unleash. He glared at Xue Yangkai and snorted. “Hmph! Let's get this over with! Elder Ming ordered us to kill this emperor and old man, so we must do it.”
At the mention of that, Xue Yangkai held back his anger. He knew that failing to carry out this mission meant a terrible punishment for them, so he could only cooperate with Xue Yangkun to kill the emperor and the old man.
After reaching a tacit agreement, the two immediately summoned their corpse puppets.
As they were discussing, Emperor Elyk came down and greeted his father. “Greetings, dad.”
The old man nodded his head calmly. “You have done well in defending against Xue Yangkai even with the difference between your cultivation levels. Let's save the conversation later. We still have to kill that evil creature.” He said while pointing to the two corpse puppets.
“Kill them!” Xue Yangkun and Xue Yangkai shouted as they pointed at the emperor and the old man.
The two corpse puppets quickly darted out after receiving his master's orders.
The corpse puppet Xue Yangkai raised all four of his buff arms in preparation for a hard punch, while the puppet Xue Yangkun swung his pair of long thin arms while spitting out a corrosive black pus.
Facing the attacks of these two powerful corpse puppets, Emperor Elyk and his father did not dare to face them head-on.
