The Prodigies War

The sky was dark.

The atmosphere was oppressive and tense in the area thousands of miles around Mount of Clouds.

Mi Wuya, Ling Hongzhuang and the other experts who came back have now stepped into the Supreme Quasi-Emperor Stage, but at this time they also felt an indelible oppression.

They all knew what those old monsters in the Emperor Stage were waiting for.

"It's that monk!"

When Ling Kezi walked out of the void tunnel, he was immediately spotted. "He was the one who helped Lin Xun count the spoils, so he can be called an accomplice!"

This accusation made many Emperors look unfriendly.

"Little monk, hand over the things!" Ultimate Seal Battle Emperor shouted, his voice like thunder.

Ling Kezi was gentle and honest, and very timid. He trembled fearfully and said, "I gave those things...to Lin Xun. If you don't believe me, you can search me."

"So, you really are Lin Xun's accomplice?" Emperor Fire Spirit’s eyes were like lightning as they flashed with a cold light.

"Accomplice?" Ling Kezi looked at a loss, "I have no relationship with him, so why did I become an accomplice?"

"Little monk, don't pretend to be confused in front of us!" Emperor Fire Spirit scolded, "If you are not an accomplice, then why did you help that evil creature to collect the spoils?"

Ling Kezi looked aggrieved, "I was forced..."

The Emperors fell speechless for a moment. This little monk was too timid.

"Whether you were forced or not, stay here for me first. I will settle accounts with you after catching that evil creature!" Emperor Fire Spirit looked impatient.

Ling Kezi shook his head and responded, "No, I have to go soon."

In the void tunnel behind him, the figures of Jintian Xuanyue, Xie Yuhua and Leng Xiujia walked out one after another.

Someone whispered, "These three people are also the accomplices of Lin Xun, just like the little monk."

Emperor Fire Spirit said coldly, "Then capture them first!"

She stretched out her right hand and grabbed in the air.

Boom!

A huge hand of fire that covered the sky and the sun gathered and enveloped Ling Kezi, Jintian Xuanyue, and the others.

The terrifying power of the Emperor Stage made the world wail.

Ling Kezi was so scared that his face turned green, and he shouted, "I'm going to die, Master, Master! Come quickly..."

Jintian Xuanyue and the others also had pinched expressions.

Even though they had stepped into the Supreme Quasi-Emperor Stage, they still felt great fear in their hearts when facing this palm. It felt like they had been imprisoned by the terrifying pressure.

This was the true power of the Emperor Stage, which could allow one to look down upon the stars and intimidate the heavens!

Seeing that Ling Kezi and the others were about to suffer, a helpless voice suddenly sounded. "I told you not to cause trouble, but you refused to listen. Why bother?"

Following that, the huge hand of fire that covered the sky and the sun suddenly stopped in mid-air, as if it was blocked by an invisible force.

Then, a monk who was dressed in tattered clothes and had a round belly and was holding a broken palm leaf fan appeared out of thin air.

He had a fat head and big ears, and his face was shiny as if it was covered with a layer of oil. If it weren't for the string of black prayer beads around his neck, then people would suspect that he was a butcher.[1]

When this sloppy, fat monk appeared, the gigantic hand of fire that had been paused exploded and turned into a rain of light all over the sky.

Every Emperor present felt their eyes narrow involuntarily.

"Senior Chan Tu!?"

Taishu Hong was surprised and recognized the other party.

Chan Tu!

This was a terrifying figure who could be on par with Emperor Ancestor Qingye from Mythical Huang Dao Court. In fact, he had already achieved his dao as an Emperor in the primeval times. In the ancient times, he was revered by the world as Emperor Ancestor Chan Tu!

For a moment, the eyes of all the Emperors in the area flickered, and they obviously figured out that this fat monk who looked dirty and sloppy was actually an extremely terrifying existence.

"This dao friend wants to get involved?" Emperor Fire Spirit asked coldly.

"Whoever gets involved in this kind of thing will be unlucky. I, a mere monk, have come here to take away my stupid disciple. How about you all give me some face?" said the greasy and fat monk with a smile. The fat on his face rolled like waves.

The eyes of the Emperors present gazed around surreptitiously.

"You...really don't plan to get involved?" Emperor Fire Spirit pondered.

This was an Emperor Ancestor. Even if the leader of Heaven and Earth Dao Court was present, he would have to give face to him.

In addition, Ling Kezi was just a so-called accomplice. At this moment, if they offended an Emperor Ancestor because of such an insignificant character, it would definitely do more harm than good.

"When have I ever said things falsely?" The fat monk stroked his round belly and smiled kindly.

Emperor Fire Spirit finally decided to stop blocking him.

The monk urged quickly, "Go, go, go, don't stay here any longer and harm other peoples’ eyes. The two of us...can't get involved in this game, so we can only leave now with our butts intact."

If one hadn’t seen him with their own eyes, it would be really hard to believe that this slick guy was a terrifying existence in the Emperor Ancestor Stage!

"Master, we need to take them with us." Ling Kezi pointed at Jintian Xuanyue, Xie Yuhua, and Leng Xiujia.

The big monk suddenly felt a headache looming as he stretched out his thick fingers and poked Ling Kezi's bald head. He cursed, "You only know how to cause trouble for your master!"

As he said that, he looked around, "Do you have any objections, Fellow Daoists?"

"Yes, these three are accomplices of the remnant from Fangchun Mountain, so they must stay!" interjected Ultimate Seal Battle Emperor from Primordial Dao Court without any hesitation. His tone of voice was murderous and resolute.

"Oh?" The big monk looked surprised as his face that was full of fat wiggled, as if he didn't hear clearly, "So...do you want to say that again?"

Taishu Hong, who was not far away, trembled inwardly. Things are not going well!

This big monk seemed kind and harmless at first impression, but it was obvious that when he got angry, the world would be overturned!

Chan Tu, the butcher of Zen[2]!

It was easy to tell from his Dharma name alone that this guy was out of the ordinary.

As he glanced at the seemingly astonished and unimpressive-looking monk, Ultimate Seal Battle Emperor felt a sense of tension and depression creeping into his heart.

How could he not have heard of Chan Tu before?

Despite that, since he dared to state his opinion, he had his own confidence in doing so.

However, just when Ultimate Seal Battle Emperor was about to say something, an old voice sounded in his head, "It is better to offend the King of Hell than Chan Tu. Ultimate Seal, you don't need to say anything more. Let Chan Tu and the others leave."

The voice was faint and mysterious, but it had a magical power that went straight to people's hearts.

Ultimate Seal Battle Emperor’s expression morphed indefinitely for a moment before he finally nodded and remained silent.

Chan Tu patted his round belly and said emotionally, "It seems that after today, it will be difficult to see some old bones again."

He flipped his sleeves and covered Ling Kezi, Jintian Xuanyue, and the others in an instant.

"Everyone, take care of yourselves. In the future... I, this humble monk, may suddenly feel like cleaning up your corpses and burning incense and paper to pay tribute to you."

Chan Tu then strode away with a smile.

However, everyone present frowned. Emperor Ancestor Chan Tu's tongue was so vicious. Was he cursing them?

"There seems to be another meaning behind what Emperor Ancestor Chan Tu said..." Only Taishu Hong pondered that remark as he had sensed a hint of something different.

No matter what, the departure of Emperor Ancestor Chan Tu still made many Emperors present secretly relieved.

Buzz!

At this moment, another figure flashed out of the empty tunnel.

He was dressed in hemp, looked sloppy, and exuded a lazy atmosphere. It was Xuan Jiuyin.

When he noticed that the auras of many Emperor-level masters covering this area, he couldn't help but sneer, "I, Xuan Jiuyin, am just a junior, how could I have the honor to have all the seniors come to greet me? I am really... flattered and overwhelmed!"

As he spoke, he clasped his fists and bowed to all directions, which looked very perfunctory.

The originally tense and solemn atmosphere in the field became strange at this moment.

This little guy surnamed Xuan...

He is a bit suicidal, isn't he?

1. Butchers were considered coarse and crude in ancient China, so it’s basically saying that this guy’s appearance and his actual status are at odds with each other. ☜

2. The name is 禅屠, where 禅 can be translated as ‘Zen,’ and 屠 is the word for slaughter ☜
