Chapter 1258: Deal

Proofreader: Papatonks

The Demonic Emperor defeated the Wraith Emperor and even killed the Falcon Emperor by himself?

The Enchanting Empress cried out in shock at the report inside the jade slip. Thats not possible! I had a hard fight with the Falcon Emperor so how could he die so easily? And on two against one? Even the Wraith Emperor could hold his own against the Sword Emperor for a while.

Mei Sangu was just as confused, Senior sister, the reality is that the Falcon Emperor died and the Wraith Emperor fled. The Demonic Emperor had taken over their lands. This proves he is the most powerful of the Eight Emperors with his biggest domain.

Was it one of Zhuo Fans ploys that led to the Falcon Emperors death? The Enchanting Empress was grave.

Mei Sangu shook her head, Senior sister, I dont think so. The three fought in the open, before an entire army. Theres no room for deceit on the battlefield. Schemes arent enough to make up for the Eight Emperors strength either. The kid can set all the traps he wants, but itll still be impossible for him to force the two Emperors into a corner with no escape.

This only makes the even more suspicious. Did the Demonic Emperor take some powerful tonic to grow so incredibly strong? The Enchanting Empress remained skeptical.

She then waved impatiently, Never mind, we still dont have any clues on young lord or who took Qingcheng. I dont have the time to deal with Eight Emperors grudges.

Senior sister is right! Mei Sangu bowed.

A disciple walked in and bowed, Master, another jade slip arrived with a strong aura. We couldnt inspect it. It must be meant for masters eyes.

Wraith seal?

The Enchanting Empress jerked, Its from the Wraith Emperor.

The Enchanting Empress frowned and read it. She shouted in shock, the Wraith Emperor is calling all Eight Emperors to Wraith Bamboo Forest for an important matter.

It must have something to do with the war. Mei Sangu added.

The Enchanting Empress nodded and walked out, Sangu, follow me. Since theres no lead on the young lord and Qingchengs situations, well see whats going on with the Demonic Emperor.

The Enchanting Empress took off and Mei Sangu followed her.

A month later, the two arrived before a dark and eerie bamboo forest, packed tight with guards. There were countless tombstones as well.Visit no(v)eLb(i)n.com for the best novel reading experience

The Enchanting Empress reached a pavilion where people were already seated, with the Wraith Emperor acting as host.

Enchanting Empress, youre here. The Wraith Emperor stood and cupped his hands, gesturing, Have a seat.

The Enchanting Empress took the seat and asked, Did you invite us because the Demonic Emperor killed the Falcon Emperor?

Everyone else focused on the Wraith Emperors conflicted face with hard stares.

The news was just too suspicious and worried them greatly.

Indeed, thats why I called you all here. The Wraith Emperor lamented, The Falcon Emperor had a gruesome fate, not leaving behind even a body to bury.

You arent asking our help to seek revenge, are you? The Sword Emperor asked.

The Wraith Emperor stressed every word, I found out that he is using people to cultivate. After our battle, he admitted it himself. He only started the war to get more ingredients. The Falcon Emperor turned to ashes because of this.

[What?!]

Everyone gaped, Using people to cultivate is forbidden in the Sacred Domain. It will incur the worlds wrath, struck down swiftly. Isnt he afraid that the Sacred Mountains will hunt him down?

I told you he doesnt care about them. He also mentioned that he will become a Sovereign soon, that the Sacred Mountains would be nothing by then.

Sovereign?

They all shouted.

There had been no new Sovereign since ancient times.

[What gave him the gall to say he will become one? None in the Sacred Mountains could claim that either.]

Before becoming one, even a peak Saint would end up killed once surrounded. How could he commit such cruel acts?

The Sword Emperor muttered, There are only two ways to become Sovereign, through enlightenment, though there has never been any record of anyone achieving it since ancient times, and

A Sovereigns inheritance!

Everyone exclaimed, He found one?

The Wraith Emperor nodded, Its very possible. What kind of art could double his strength in such a short time? This proves his arrogance. By getting a Sovereigns inheritance, becoming one is only a matter of time. Of course he would hate the Sacred Mountains.

This piece

The Enchanting Empress noticed something in the dust, taking out a piece of clothing.

Wraith Emperor explained, I collected this from the remains of people he used for cultivation. It seems his art turns not only soul and body to dust, but clothes as well.

[Its similar to the ones I found on young lord. Maybe]

The Enchanting Empress nodded.

[So you did this, Demonic Emperor!]

[Youre finished. Once the Mountain Lord knows, you]

Everyone!

The Sword Emperors grave voice echoed, We will have to join forces once more, just like when we faced Zhuo Yifan, and deal with Zhao Chen. Do you still remember the past? Because of the arrival of a Saint, Zhuo Yifan destroyed the records and detonated. This time, we must keep this a secret if we want to get our hands on the Sovereigns inheritance. Why bother doing someone elses job?

Everyone nodded and turned to the Enchanting Empress in unison.

Her face twitched and she finally nodded under peer pressure
