Chapter 1224: The War Emperor Appeared

When the loud voice came down from the heavens, it was like the voice of God. It even caused the heavens and the earth to quake. The top powers broke out into a cold sweat, as if the destructive power would land on them at any time.

The golden figure stood in the sky with one hand behind his back, exuding the aura of the Dominator. Under such a great power and influence, the top powers fell down on their faces. Even the Earthly Sovereigns felt the oppression and dared not look at him.

No one had expected the War Emperor from the Western Kingdom War Temple to appear in this place! In the face of such a great power, Luo Li continued to lift up her head to look at the Shadowspirit. Although she trembled a bit under the oppression, she remained fearless.

She looked at the golden figure and said, “Thank you for your kindness, War Emperor. However, I do not want to be the Holy Maid. Please choose someone else.”

The top powers swallowed hard when they heard what Luo Li had said. They could not believe that she had so boldly rejected him.

On the other hand, Xue Lingzi was elated. He had expected the Luo God Clan to use this opportunity to make a comeback, but Luo Li was not interested in being recruited by the Western Kingdom War Temple. In fact, she was strongly against it.

As long as the War Emperor was enraged, the Luo God Clan could be exterminated!

“How dare you!” When Lin Dong Elder heard what Luo Li had said, he was furious.

He then asked sharply, “Luo Li, do you know the consequences of rejecting the Emperor? Do you know what will happen to your clan because of your willfulness?”

Luo Li stared hard at Lin Dong Elder and said, “At most, I will die. As for my clan, I believe that they would rather die than tarnish our ancestors’ reputations!”

Luo Li’s voice resounded in the area and stirred up the spirits of her fellow clansmen. Their ancestors used to be the masters in The Great Thousand World, and they were more powerful than the West Heaven War Emperor in terms of reputation and strength.

As such, they were prideful people, who loved Luo Li and held her in high esteem. She was like a god to them, so if Luo Li had to sacrifice herself in order for them to survive, they would rather die!

Many people of the Luo God Clan lifted their heads, no longer looking fearful. Instead, they stared angrily at Lin Dong Elder.

Many top powers looked at Luo Li in amazement. Although she was a female, her courage and spirit had won their respect.

Lin Dong Elder turned pale instantly. He had not expected that his threat would stir up the pride of the Luo God Clan. He had clearly underestimated Luo Li, as this girl possessed an extraordinary spirit and charm!

“Hohoho, no wonder Luo God selected you…” The golden figure in the sky clapped his hands. He was not enraged by what Luo Li had said. Instead, he was filled with admiration for her.

He turned to look at Lin Dong Elder and said, “In a relationship, both parties have to be willing. When have I ever forced such upon anyone?”

When Lin Dong Elder heard this, he quickly acknowledged his fault. The top powers secretly nodded their heads in admiration of the War Emperor’s magnanimity. As the Dominator of the Western Kingdom Continent, he had behaved in an appropriately dignified manner.

Mu Chen squinted his eyes when he saw this interchange. He did not believe that the War Emperor would let the matter rest so easily.

After the War Emperor had reprimanded Lin Don Elder, he looked at Luo Li and said, “Since you refuse to accept the offer, I will not force it upon you. However, I will keep the position open for you. If you change your mind, you can always come to me and we will revisit the issue.”

Luo Li calmly said, “I am afraid that I will keep disappointing you then.”

The War Emperor did not say a word, but just smiled at Luo Li. He then shifted his gaze to Mandela and said, “I will set the matter of the Holy Maid aside for now. However, this Ancient Mandala Flower keeps challenging my authority. She needs to be taught a lesson!”

Everyone was shocked when they heard his words. They looked at Mandela in amazement, as they had not expected her to be an Ancient Mandala Flower.

Mu Chen’s and Luo Li’s hearts sank instantly. Although the War Emperor had told Luo Li that he would leave the matter of the Holy Maid aside for now, he had instantly shifted his target to Mandela. Moreover, it was apparent that he was angry!

“War Emperor, won’t it reflect badly on you if you fuss over such things?” Luo Li asked.

The War Emperor smiled and said, “If I let her off, the others may think that they can trample over us as well. Don’t worry. I will bring these two people back to the Western Kingdom War Temple only for a period of time. After they have been disciplined, I will let them go. I will not kill them.”

Luo Li’s face turned cold instantly. The War Emperor not only wanted to bring Mandela with him, but he wanted to punish Mu Chen as well!

Boom!

Before Luo Li could say a word, the War Emperor stretched forth his hand and a golden light swirled out. The light then turned into a large golden hand and moved towards Mandela and Mu Chen.

“No Complete Earthly Sovereign can mess around in my Western Kingdom Continent!” the War Emperor said loudly.

As the large golden hand came down, the space and the spiritual energy in the area became still. When the top powers saw that the War Emperor had struck, they sympathized with Mandela and Mu Chen. No matter what other means Mu Chen had, he would not be able to escape the Heavenly Sovereign.

“Brat, let’s see you try to escape!” Xue Lingzi’s eyes turned red and he gritted his teeth.

They had prepared many trump cards in order to deal with the Luo God Clan, but Mu Chen had destroyed every single one of them. Now that the War Emperor was around to deal with him, Mu Chen would be doomed!

“Elder, please leave quickly with Mu Chen!” Luo Li gritted her teeth and looked at Mandela.

After all, Mandela was the only one who could bring Mu Chen out of this place. However, Mandela just shook her head and looked at Mu Chen.

Luo Li then realized that Mu Chen had remained calm and was not dejected when the War Emperor had attacked them. When Mu Chen noticed Luo Li looking at him, he smiled at her, then flipped his palm over to reveal an ancient lamp.

Mu Chen stroked the ancient lamp in his hand and sighed. He then said, “I never expected to use this so soon…”

He then flicked his fingers, shooting spiritual energy out toward the lamp, causing it to immediately light up. The large golden hand had completely covered Mandela and Mu Chen up by that time, and the top powers shook their heads sympathetically.

At this moment, even Mandela could not escape…

The War Emperor looked indifferent. As long as he took Mandela and Mu Chen away with him, Luo Li would have to accept the position of the Holy Maid.

He and Luo Li would then have the opportunity to spend more time together. He believed that, over time, Luo Li would be attracted to him and would willingly submit herself to him. In this way, being with her would not go against his principles.

In fact, he was usually not very interested in beautiful women. However, Luo Li was different. This was because she had obtained the Luo God Celestial Body, and if he could cultivate the Emperor’s Inner Canon with her in the future, it would benefit him greatly.

He had thought that he could easily win Luo Li over with his elegant demeanor and charm, but Mu Chen had thwarted his plan. Luo Li loved Mu Chen so deeply, she had totally rejected his invitation to join the Western Kingdom War Temple! Thus, he had no choice but to resort to underhanded means.

Luo Li, you will know how outstanding I am in the future. I am the only one suitable for you. Mu Chen is only a passerby in your life, and he is not worthy of you…I am doing these things for your own good.

The War Emperor thought all of these things in his mind. He then looked at the large golden hand. The scene before him showed no signs of a struggle, so it seemed that Mandela had given up resisting.

“At least you know where you stand.” The War Emperor smiled and waved his sleeve. He wanted to take Mu Chen and Mandela along with him.

However, just as he was about to do so, smoke rose up from the large golden hand. A colorful flame then came out of the golden hand and burnt it up.

This took the War Emperor by surprise and caused his expression to change drastically. He shouted, “How is this possible?”

A Complete Earthly Sovereign would have to succumb to his means, but the golden hand had been burnt by the flame! The top powers were shocked by the scene as well.

When the beautiful flame rose up, the large golden hand dissolved within seconds. All of the top powers fixed their eyes upon it, jaws agape.

Meanwhile, Mu Chen and Mandela remained unscathed in the sky, but a man was standing in front of Mu Chen. No one knew when he had appeared, as they had not seen him earlier.

The man was tall, and he stood with one hand behind his back. He smiled in a casual manner and looked calm. Although he did not look oppressive, everyone sensed that the oppression from the War Emperor immediately dissipated as he stood in front of Mu Chen.

The top powers were shocked when they noticed this change. Everybody knew that only a Heavenly Sovereign could contend with another Heavenly Sovereign. Mu Chen had clearly invited a Heavenly Sovereign over!

The man lifted up his head, then smiled at the War Emperor and said, “As the War Emperor, you have lowered yourself to deal with this younger one. Are you not ashamed of yourself?”

When the War Emperor saw the man, he turned pale and shouted out in amazement, “Xiao Yan, the Flame Emperor!”

When the top powers heard what he said, they were dumbfounded. They never expected Mu Chen to summon a Heavenly Sovereign, much less the most well-known figure in The Great Thousand World, the Flame Emperor!
