Nine Realms Sword Emperor-Chapter 887 - 888: Mysterious Emperor

"The Young Master has returned."

Old Yun saw Chu Fengmian and spoke slowly.

In Old Yun’s voice, Chu Fengmian could hear a certain weakness.

"Old Yun, what happened?"

Chu Fengmian asked decisively.

The last time he saw Old Yun, the Spiritual Power in Old Yun was still highly abundant, but this time, Chu Fengmian could sense that the Spiritual Power in Old Yun was incredibly weak.

Old Yun was not a Martial Artist, but an Artifact Spirit, the Artifact Spirit of the Yunyu Heavenly Palace.

The body of the Yunyu Heavenly Palace is within the Gui Xu Heaven, so there should be no danger. But for Old Yun to be so weak now is clearly unusual.

"Young Master, we’ve encountered some trouble."

Old Yun heard Chu Fengmian’s words and did not want to conceal anything, speaking directly.

"A group of Martial Artists have suddenly discovered our Yunyu Heavenly Palace’s location and want to seize it."

"Although they cannot break in immediately, I have no way to restore my power, leading to my strength becoming weaker and weaker."

"I was just about to call for the Young Master to return, but unexpectedly, the Young Master has come back on his own."

"A group of Martial Artists is attacking the Yunyu Heavenly Palace?"

After listening to Old Yun, a hint of surprise flashed in Chu Fengmian’s eyes.

The Gui Xu Heaven, where the Yunyu Heavenly Palace is located, only opens once every three years.

The last opening was only a few months ago, so it is impossible for it to have opened again this time.

So, where did these Martial Artists come from?

Although Chu Fengmian was not sure whether there were hidden Martial Artists within the Gui Xu Heaven,

attempting to attack the Yunyu Heavenly Palace with hidden Martial Artists seemed impossible.

Old Yun’s power, which Chu Fengmian could now sense after his breakthrough, was that of an Emperor’s strength.

Old Yun’s own power was not inferior to that of an Emperor.

In the Gui Xu Heaven, there should be no Martial Artist capable of threatening Old Yun.

But now, Old Yun was so weak, clearly suggesting that the Martial Artists attacking the Yunyu Heavenly Palace were no weaklings.

It might even be possible that an Emperor was involved, making Old Yun’s power so weakened.

The Yunyu Heavenly Palace relied solely on Old Yun for protection; it was imperative now to restore Old Yun’s strength.

With a wave of his hand, Chu Fengmian used Divine Veins to devour Spiritual Power and suddenly condensed countless Emperor-grade Spirit Stones before him, piling them into a mountain.

"These Spirit Stones, Old Yun, you first devour and refine them to restore your strength while I go and see who these bold enough to target the Yunyu Heavenly Palace are!"

A cold glint flashed in Chu Fengmian’s eyes.

This Yunyu Heavenly Palace was Chu Fengmian’s stronghold and retreat.

Because the Yunyu Heavenly Palace was within the Gui Xu Heaven, Chu Fengmian had always felt it was perfectly safe.

For someone to attack the Yunyu Heavenly Palace this time was completely beyond Chu Fengmian’s expectations.

Chu Fengmian had to investigate who dared to attack the Yunyu Heavenly Palace, or else it would remain a potential threat.

"Young Master, these..."

Looking at the mountain-like pile of Emperor-grade Spirit Stones, Old Yun was somewhat taken aback.

With his experience, he knew just how immense this wealth was, not expecting Chu Fengmian to produce such an enormous fortune with a flick of his wrist.

"It doesn’t matter. Old Yun, you can devour them all; you must restore your strength to protect the Yunyu Heavenly Palace."

Chu Fengmian said with a smile.

This mountain of Spirit Stones was easily conjured by Chu Fengmian.

Now, with Chu Fengmian’s enhanced strength, the speed at which his Divine Veins devoured Spiritual Power had increased dozens of times.

Spirit Stones had become meaningless to Chu Fengmian.

"Alright."

Stunned by Chu Fengmian’s generosity, Old Yun nodded after hearing his words.

He had always been using his power to fend off the attacks from outside.

If his Spiritual Power was depleted and the Martial Artists broke in, that would be the greatest loss.

Old Yun began devouring Spirit Stones, gradually recovering his strength.

Meanwhile, Chu Fengmian’s body leaped, transforming into a Tunneling Light, flying towards the entrance of the Yunyu Heavenly Palace.

As he approached the entrance, Chu Fengmian’s form immediately concealed itself.

As the master of the Yunyu Heavenly Palace, Chu Fengmian could naturally suppress his aura within its confines.

Stealthfully, Chu Fengmian approached.

Outside the entrance of the Yunyu Heavenly Palace stood about hundreds of Martial Artists.

Most of these Martial Artists were around the Life and Death Realm, with dozens of transcendental elders.

The most powerful among them were two Emperors at the Seventh Level of the Life and Death Platform, in the Destiny Realm.

These two Emperors were the leaders of this group of Martial Artists.

"In the Gui Xu Heaven, it’s impossible for there to be so many hidden strong practitioners!"

Seeing these people, Chu Fengmian felt they couldn’t be Martial Artists left in the Gui Xu Heaven.

Chu Fengmian indeed knew some Martial Artists had remained in the Gui Xu Heaven.

But these individuals were mostly isolated, and even if they had backing, it was usually no more than dozens at most.

It was impossible for hundreds of Martial Artists to appear together like this.

These Martial Artists were evidently from the same force, hierarchically organized, all led by these two Emperors.

Currently, under the command of several elders, the elders and Life and Death Realm Martial Artists were continuously bombarding the Yunyu Heavenly Palace.

"War Demon, this Yunyu Heavenly Palace is like a tortoise shell; we’ve been bombarding it for a month, and still haven’t broken through. Should we continue to waste time here?"

One of the Emperors spoke impatiently, watching the surrounding Martial Artists repeatedly bombard the Yunyu Heavenly Palace.

"In the Gui Xu Heaven, treasures abound everywhere. We shouldn’t waste our time on this tortoise shell. We sneaked into the Gui Xu Heaven this time, unknown to the Seven Great Sects, so we should be gathering other treasures here."

This Emperor appeared extraordinarily young; from Chu Fengmian’s perspective, his age seemed not even a hundred years.

An Emperor under a hundred years old? What kind of concept was this?

He likely was a genius nurtured by the Seven Great Sects from a young age to reach this level.

In the entire Nine Domains, such talent could be described as monstrous.

And the Emperor beside him appeared similarly young, also under a hundred years old, yet had reached the Emperor rank.

Such individuals, appearing within the Nine Domains, would certainly cause a stir.

Why would such figures suddenly appear in the Gui Xu Heaven?
