I made the entire cultivation world cry

Chapter 666 The Nine Emperors Gather
Emperor Kun, who had been sitting upright in the main seat, saw Xiao Tianyin and personally stood up to greet her, a genuine smile appearing on his face.

"Tianyin, you've arrived."

Emperor Qin Xiao Tianyin nodded slightly, and the aloofness emanating from him lessened considerably when facing Fang Yi.

Shen Puning, Mo Ling, Hua Luosha, Bai Shengjie, Shang Shixu, Zhao Cangyun, and Yan Kongqing following behind Emperor Fu, all focused their attention on Jiang Yi behind Emperor Qin.

Seeing her appear unharmed, Shen Puning and the others relaxed their tense nerves, their eyes revealing barely suppressed excitement and relief.

Shen Puning quickly gave Jiang Yi a wink, then glanced at Yan Kongqing behind Emperor Fu, whose expression was calm and almost indifferent.

Jiang Yi caught Shen Puning's hint, her gaze quickly sweeping over Yan Kongqing before she gave Shen Puning a barely perceptible nod, indicating that she already knew.

Fang Yi led the Qin Emperor to the seat reserved for her, which was next to her and not far from the Qing Emperor.

As the Qin Emperor passed by the Qing Emperor, he paused slightly, cupped his hands in greeting to the Qing Emperor, who was sitting upright in his chair, and said, "Brother Qing."

Upon hearing this, the Azure Emperor gave a faint "hmm," as if he were a kind older brother addressing his younger sister, without glancing at Jiang Yi, who was following behind the Qin Emperor, even once.

This left Jiang Yi puzzled. Could the relationship between the Azure Emperor and the Qin Emperor be so...harmonious?
The Emperor Qin sat down next to Fang Yi, his demeanor aloof and cold, completely out of place with those around him.

At this moment, Emperor Fu stroked his long beard and laughed, “It’s been hundreds of years since we old folks have gathered together. These little ones standing here are just getting in the way of our conversation. Why don’t we let the younger generation play by themselves, so we can talk about some serious matters?”

The other emperors had no objection to this.

Emperor Kun turned to Shen Puning, who was standing to the side, and said, "Take them to the side hall next door to rest."

“Yes, Master,” Shen Puning replied respectfully.

The younger generation inside the hall bowed to the Ninth Emperor to take their leave, preparing to follow Shen Puning away.

Just as Jiang Yi turned to leave, the Azure Emperor, who had been silently drinking tea, suddenly spoke.

"Wait a minute."

Jiang Yi paused in her steps.

The Azure Emperor didn't even lift his eyelids. With a casual flick of his wide azure sleeves, the tiny Crimson Fire Fox landed with a thud on the stone floor in the center of the hall.

Hongli was thrown around so hard she was dizzy and disoriented. Her fiery red fur stood on end, paws in the air, looking utterly pathetic. Her eyes were filled with bewilderment and anger, and she let out a whimper of grievance and rage.

Jiang Yi forced herself to stand still, not daring to make any rash moves.

The Azure Emperor said coldly, "You wicked beast, you have wreaked havoc in my territory for over three hundred years. You are wild and untamed. If you cannot discipline her, I will not hesitate to refine her into a batch of calming and spirit-clearing pills."

Hearing this, Jiang Yi felt a slight sense of relief and quickly scooped up the still dazed Hong Li from the ground and pulled her into his arms.

Jiang Yi was relieved to find that Hong Li was only slightly dizzy from the fall and not injured. He bowed slightly in the direction of the Azure Emperor.

"Thank you for your mercy, Your Majesty. I will keep a close eye on her and make sure she doesn't annoy you again."

The Azure Emperor remained silent, as if everything that had just happened was merely a speck of dust being brushed away.

Jiang Yi, holding Hong Li who was still whimpering in her arms, quickly followed Shen Puning and the others who were already heading towards the entrance of the side hall.

Her figure disappeared behind the side hall door, and the heavy, ancient stone door of the main hall slowly closed.

Inside the side hall was a relatively simply furnished stone chamber. As soon as the door closed, Shang Shixu and Hua Luosha retreated to the doorway, trying to eavesdrop on the conversation between the nine emperors inside the main hall.

Shen Puning, Mo Ling, Bai Shengjie, and Zhao Cangyun formed an encirclement almost instantly, surrounding Yan Kongqing, who had followed Fu Di in!

The men's gazes were sharp as knives, fixed intently on Yan Kongqing.

"Yan Kongqing!" Zhao Cangyun, who had the most fiery temper, grabbed Yan Kongqing's collar and sniffed him hard. It was still Yan Kongqing's original scent, without the stench of the demon race.

Shen Puning asked directly, "Yan Kongqing, didn't you leave? What happened to the soul imprint in your sea of ​​consciousness?"

Mo Ling placed her hand on the mechanical armor box at her waist, her eyes wary.

Bai Shengjie's expression was grave. "Yan Kongqing, we need an explanation!"

Jiang Yi stood a little further back, holding Hong Li. He didn't bother to ask what had happened between Hong Li and the Azure Emperor. His gaze fell on Yan Kongqing.

Hongli seemed to sense the tense atmosphere as well. She stopped sobbing, perked up her ears warily, and stared wide-eyed at this person and then at that person.

In Jiang Yi's eyes, Yan Kongqing was perfectly normal, with no demonic seed in his body, unlike the Sword Lord Bu Liu and the others she had met before.

Surrounded by the crowd, Yan Kongqing's eyes were filled with complex and indescribable emotions.

"It was the Talisman Emperor. He captured me and took me back. He also erased the mark in my sea of ​​consciousness."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Cangyun released him in an annoyed manner, and the others also took two steps back, still looking at him as if he were a deserter who had betrayed his friends.

Shang Shixu and Hua Luosha used some methods but still couldn't hear the conversation inside the main hall. They shook their heads at everyone.

At this moment, Yan Kongqing spoke up again, "Don't bother, none of us can escape, just accept our fate."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Cangyun was about to rush up and hit him, but Bai Shengjie stopped him.

"It's not worth getting angry at such a coward."

Shen Puning was also filled with disappointment and decided to ignore Yan Kongqing. She ran up to Jiang Yi and asked, "Ayi, how have you been all these years?"

Over the years, Xin Wushuang and Luo Qingsi have been traveling around. Everyone else has a general understanding of each other's situation and circumstances, but Jiang Yi has been out of contact, so everyone is very worried about her.

Jiang Yi smiled and said, "It's alright, probably about the same as yours."

Jiang Yi could tell that they had all been "forced to grow too fast." Looking at the nine emperors gathered outside, Jiang Yi felt that the nine emperors had set the time for the harvest from the very beginning when they used that causal connection to lure them to the Nine Provinces.

Shen Puning wanted to say something more, but Jiang Yi shook his head, and Shen Puning swallowed the words that were about to come out.

"The Nine Emperors are right next door. Even if we try to communicate telepathically, they will hear us clearly. Besides, there's nothing more to say. Let's just pray for the best."

Jiang Yi's coldness and aloofness made the atmosphere in the room gloomy, but everyone understood that Jiang Yi was not doing this on purpose. When they decided to continue, they had already said what needed to be said, and there was no point in saying more now.

Even Zhao Cangyun calmed down. Instead of approaching Jiang Yi, he irritably tugged at the iron ring around his neck, which he couldn't break, and sat down to the side to sulk.

The Demon Emperor was originally a human, but he loved everything about the demon race. Therefore, the Demon Emperor's cultivation method was to plunder the powerful aspects of various demon races and incorporate them into his own.

The Demon Emperor underwent a blood transfusion, skin regeneration, and bone transformation, rendering himself neither human nor demon. However, this also granted him a physique and power far surpassing that of the demon race. With a mere presence, the oppressive aura emanating from the bloodlines of various ancient divine beasts emanating from his body could subdue all beasts, preventing them from daring to resist.

The Demon Emperor was very pleased with Zhao Cangyun, who came to him for help, but he never treated Zhao Cangyun as a disciple.

Zhao Cangyun has had a frustrating time these past few years, and so have the others.

Everyone found a place to sit down, and the room fell silent.

Outdoors, after exchanging a few words, the nine emperors turned the topic to breaking through boundaries and ascending to immortality. Everyone else was ready, except for the Azure Emperor and the Qin Emperor, who were missing a physical body.

Emperor Dan, always eager for a good show, brought it up himself, asking Emperor Qing and Emperor Qin how they planned to divide the spoils.

The Qin Emperor was tense, fearing that the Qing Emperor would turn against her and try to take it away, but little did she know that the Qing Emperor already had a plan.
