Chapter 64 The Emperor's Eldest Son (21)
The competition continued.
However, everyone present felt that the food was tasteless and unappetizing.
No one can interfere in other people's family affairs, but that doesn't mean they can't talk about them. It's impossible to keep quiet about such a lively event. In fact, the competition hasn't even ended yet, and everyone already knows what's going on here.
But Changqing didn't have time to worry about any of that.
He began his escape again.
This time, the pursuing team wasn't Su Bai, but rather a mix of various Emperor-level powerhouses, including not only Yue Cangwu's people, but also several other newly promoted Great Emperors.
"There are no permanent friends, only permanent interests."
After breaking through once again, Changqing couldn't help but sigh.
He used the Azure Lotus Manual as a bargaining chip, one of the conditions being that the beneficiaries would help him once. However, they wouldn't hide anything from him. During the negotiations with them, Yue Cangwu learned about the Azure Lotus Manual. He used the complete Azure Lotus Manual and his own cultivation experience as bargaining chips to get them to help him capture Changqing.
"However, I doubt they would know that I have a system as a cheat code."
Changqing chuckled and his figure disappeared into the darkness.
He's a professional at running away.
Yue Cangwu never expected that even after sending out a late-stage Emperor-level expert, he still couldn't capture that unfilial son.
Not only did they fail to capture the person, but they also watched as that unfilial son's cultivation level improved steadily. At first, he only tried to run away, but later, he even turned back and killed people occasionally, causing great losses.
A few years later, the others withdrew their people back.
"Brother Yue, we have done our best. That kid's cultivation has already reached the late stage of the Emperor level. Sending more people won't help."
Yue Cangwu's face was extremely ugly.
"I still have a lot of insights into cultivating the Azure Lotus Technique. Don't you want them?"
Gan Zheng shook his head with a smile.
"I can also provide other resources, such as the Firestone Forest three hundred miles to the far west..."
Yue Cangwu quickly replied.
The owner of Wan Jin Lou interrupted coldly.
"Brother Yue, there's no need for further words. No matter how good the cultivation technique or how many resources you have, can they be more important than life?"
Zhuo Feifan, the Supreme Elder of the Sword Sect, also nodded in agreement.
They were genuinely frightened.
That kid is too eccentric. His cultivation level rises as fast as drinking water, and his combat power is especially astonishing. He's at the late stage of the Emperor level, and it's difficult for anyone of the same level to fight against him. You have to know that the late stage of the Emperor level is top-tier combat power in all major forces, and they can't afford to lose him.
As for taking action personally?
That's even more impossible.
Please, taking action personally would mean a complete breakdown in relations, leaving no room for maneuver. Everyone can see the current trend; that kid is definitely going to become an emperor, and with exceptionally high combat power. Why risk offending someone for a few cultivation techniques and resources?
"Goodbye."
Seeing that Yue Cangwu seemed to want to say something, the three of them bowed and left.
They neither give you a chance nor give you face.
Yue Cangwu's expression turned even uglier.
"Brother Cangwu".
Su Rongrong came out from the back room with a worried look on her face. Beside her, Su Bai had grown quite a bit taller and looked about five or six parts like Yue Cangwu.
"Father, he... he is still your son, so why—"
Su Bai spoke, revealing that he had accepted this father figure. Over the past few years, he had lived in the palace and received his guidance, resulting in rapid progress in his cultivation, which had already broken through to the King Realm.
Wang Jing, who was not yet twenty years old, was already an extraordinary genius.
However, it becomes increasingly difficult as one progresses. After reaching this level, his cultivation progress has slowed down. According to Yue Cangwu's prediction, he might be able to break through to the Emperor Realm around the age of fifty.
This speed is similar to that of Yue Cangwu himself, except—
Compared to that one, he's not quite up to par.
Over the years, Su Bai had also been paying attention to that person's affairs. He was not yet forty years old, but he was already at the late stage of the Emperor level, and his combat power was astonishing. This shocked him and made him feel somewhat frustrated.
After all, he had always regarded that person as his rival. Now, that person's rival was the strongest person in the world, while he himself had only just broken through to the King Realm.
Yue Cangwu looked at the mother and son and forced a smile.
He knew what the departure of Wan Qianjin and the others meant: it meant they no longer believed in him, or at least did not think he could win decisively. In fact, over the past few years, he himself had gradually become somewhat powerless.
Two of his four royal-level experts have already been lost, which has greatly damaged his power. It's not that he hasn't personally taken action, but every time he does, that kid disappears without a trace, as if he can predict the future.
Evil!
It's really creepy!
He felt a little uneasy.
But what can we do?
Those people were able to withdraw because they had never openly opposed Yue Changqing, while he and that bastard were already locked in a life-or-death struggle.
He didn't believe that the unfilial son would care about any father-son relationship.
"You don't need to worry. I have weathered countless storms. That unruly son is lawless and I will not let him off easily!"
