Chapter 2242: The Unexpected Appearance of the Lingyao Empire Army
(4, 0);
It seems that his previous plan has been successful.
He quickly eliminated the phantom on the 127th floor, causing Liu Qingyan to mistakenly believe that he was still in that challenging space and had to stay there.
Although with the passage of time, Liu Qingyan might find that he had already passed that level of challenge, but he still had no idea where he really was.
In this way, Lin Yue would not be disturbed by that woman and could continue to complete the challenges in the imperial ranking without any worries.
At the same time, Liu Qingyan stayed on the stone platform on the 128th floor, looking at the calm challenge space in front of him and becoming more and more skeptical about life.
"Where on earth did that guy Lin Yue go? Why hasn't he completed the challenge of the previous level yet...?" Liu Qingyan couldn't help but mutter in a low voice.
Suddenly, she turned around and looked at the higher stone stairs behind her. "Could it be that he has already gone to the next level to challenge before me?"
But soon she shook her head and denied this idea. She had witnessed Lin Yue's strength more than once. Of course, he could not be compared with an ordinary quasi-emperor in the awakening period. But even for him, it would not be as easy as drinking water to deal with a quasi-emperor whose strength was already at the peak level of the awakening period.
It is impossible to pass this level of challenge before her in less than thirty breaths.
Thinking of this, Liu Qingyan couldn't help but analyze, "Could it be that he was afraid of meeting me again, so he pretended to be defeated in the challenge space in advance and left the imperial ranking?"
However, if this is really the case, Liu Qingyan has no intention of continuing to challenge higher levels. After all, her current strength is among the best among everyone, and no one has been found to have passed the challenge of the next level. So she is already the first, and there is no need to continue to challenge the next level.
If she continued to stay here, in case Lin Yue had not left the Emperor Rank, she might be able to catch him...
With this thought in mind, Liu Qingyan continued to stay where she was and reinforced the net she had laid out before, ensuring that she would catch Lin Yue the moment he appeared.
However, when this scene appeared in front of everyone at the foot of the mountain, it caused a speechless moment.
From what Liu Qingyan said before, everyone already knew Lin Yue’s true identity, and they also knew that as a person from Lingyao Empire, Liu Qingyan must have an irreconcilable relationship with Lin Yue.
But what they didn't expect was that a quasi-emperor in the Spirit Refining Stage from the Lingyao Empire was actually played around by Lin Yue...
Long before Liu Qingyan appeared, Lin Yue had already stepped into the next level of challenge space, without her noticing it at all. Therefore, all the subsequent arrangements made by Liu Qingyan were completely useless, and she herself was completely unaware of it.
"This... I have to say that the leader of the Ten Thousand Races Alliance is quite smart. He has fooled the Spirit Refining Stage Quasi-Emperor of Lingyao Empire."
"Hush! How dare you say something like that? Are you trying to kill yourself!?"
"But it's not all that woman's fault. If it were us, we would never have thought that a quasi-emperor in the awakening stage would pass that challenge so quickly...!"
Everyone was talking about it, but at this time a terrifying aura came from a distance.
"What's going on? What's going on over there...?"
There was a hint of doubt in everyone's expression, and they became nervous.
Because the aura that just appeared was clearly beyond the existence of a Quasi-Emperor in the Bone Tempering Stage, and it was not something that those people present who had not even reached the Quasi-Emperor stage could match.
Everyone stared at the direction where the breath came from, with anxiety flashing in their eyes.
Soon, a dark cloud appeared in everyone's sight.
Only when you look closely can you find that they are actually practitioners from the Lingyao Empire. They are all wearing black armor, and when gathered together they look like a black cloud.
“Oh no…! They are the army of Lingyao Empire. Why are they here?”
"I don't know. I haven't received any relevant information, but the appearance of people from Lingyao Empire will definitely not be good things!"
"I heard that while the Lingyao Empire was holding the blood sacrifice, it was also constantly recruiting the strongest people in the world of the living. This time, so many quasi-emperors gathered to participate in the imperial ranking. Are they trying to capture all the quasi-emperors present?"
"How is it possible!? There are at least thirty or forty quasi-emperors participating in the imperial ranking. Can the army of Lingyao Empire handle them all at once?"
"Not only that, there is an extremely terrifying aura in the army. Ninety percent of them are also Quasi-Emperors in the Spirit Refining Stage. Add to that the Quasi-Emperor in the Spirit Refining Stage who participated in the Emperor Rankings before. It seems that it is not a foolish dream to capture all the strong men present..."
After hearing someone analyze the current combat power of the Lingyao Empire, everyone began to feel uneasy.
After all, everyone knows how powerful the Quasi-Emperor in the Spirit Refining Stage is, and the Lingyao Empire has dispatched two powerful men of this level this time, and what they are planning must be something very important.
If we can catch the thirty or forty quasi-emperors participating in the emperor ranking and develop them into subordinates of Lingyao Empire, it will be a significant improvement for the entire Lingyao Empire.
A cultivator in the Ancient Immortal Realm asked tremblingly, "Then what should we do...?"
The Lingyao Empire needs high-level combat power, but that doesn't mean they will need just any miscellaneous guys. At least they will definitely not lack combat power at the level of ancient immortals.
It seems that the fate of those weak practitioners present is already determined. (5,0);
Suddenly, the faces of the practitioners watching turned pale. They also realized what would happen if they were caught by the people from Lingyao Empire. Even if they had not seen it with their own eyes, they had heard a lot of related news in recent times.
Of course, Lin Yue naturally didn’t know what was happening in the outside world. Not only that, even Liu Qingyan was completely unaware of it.
…
Ding!
The Emperor Sword flew out from Lin Yue's palm and fell on the ground beside him, and Lin Yue's arm was trembling slightly.
He looked at the strange movements of the woman in front of him, and a hint of fear appeared in his eyes.
Just now he appeared in the challenge space of this level. Before he could even see the opponent's appearance clearly, he felt a strong threatening aura coming from the front. He involuntarily raised the Emperor Sword in his hand to resist, but he didn't expect that the Emperor Sword was easily knocked away.
As expected of a Quasi-Emperor in the Spirit Refining Stage, even at the initial and weakest stage, he possessed strength that was difficult to achieve even with the full strength of a Quasi-Emperor in the Bone Tempering Stage.
