Chapter 2184 - 2180: The Arrogant Emperor Jun

The appearance of Emperor Jun did not earn him any trust or obedience from the present ancient cultivators.

Especially after Emperor Jun said he wanted to consolidate the resources of the ancient cultivators, the others regarded him even more disdainfully.

Among the people present, each considered themselves capable of dominating the universe, and none were willing to follow a cultivator like Emperor Jun, who could not compare to Ye Fan or Pan Gu.

"What we need to do now is to find Ye Fan; I don’t want to discuss anything else with you," said Shun, who also held a high position among the ancient cultivators. His words left others with no reason to refuse, and they knew he would not accept Emperor Jun’s conditions. "Even if we need to search, we’re not going to listen to anyone in particular; we each have our own tasks. Emperor Jun, we can part ways now, farewell!"

After speaking, Shun left with Nu Ying first, but the ancient cultivators who came with the two of them didn’t all leave immediately, as each had some thoughts of their own.

Emperor Jun looked at Xuan Nu and said, "Xuan Nu, are you really deciding not to cooperate with me?"

"Who do you think you are? Dare you say that your current cultivation can surely defeat me? Don’t think too highly of yourself, and don’t forget what status and position we currently hold. Ye Fan’s cultivation has reached a level where he can dominate everything; why should we cooperate with someone as ungrateful as you?" Xuan Nu spoke harshly, which deeply angered Emperor Jun.

Emperor Jun said, "Xuan Nu, you’d better watch your words. What right do you have to shout in front of me?"

"You don’t understand?" said a person who came with Emperor Jun, an ancient cultivator named Huang Wu, "She has now become Ye Fan’s concubine and even feels she is superior to others; naturally, she won’t take us seriously. But that’s fine, this ungrateful woman, we’ll let her know our power later!"

Xuan Nu looked Huang Wu up and down and said, "Have the guts to say that again, and see if I won’t take your dog’s life!"

Even if Huang Wu had the courage, he knew what should and shouldn’t be said, and he knew offending Xuan Nu wouldn’t do him any good, so he simply stayed silent.

"Go!" Emperor Jun finally called out, "None of the people here have a sense of mission. I don’t want to talk to you, and you shouldn’t come looking for me. Since the ancient cultivators are already falling apart, I won’t offer any help, no matter what happens to you in the future!"

Even after saying this, no one paid him any mind, and ultimately he left in defeat, taking his people with him.

After everyone left, Xuan Nu stayed behind alone, feeling extremely resentful: "Is everything I do now branded with Ye Fan’s mark? Would others look down on me if it weren’t for Ye Fan?"

She felt frustrated, and just as she was contemplating her next move, Xi He suddenly appeared in front of her.

"Why are you back? Do you know Ye Fan’s whereabouts?" Xuan Nu asked.

"No, no one knows the master’s current location, but for now, it seems that the heavenly tribulation hasn’t occurred, which is something to be thankful for. Xuan Nu, from the way you look, it seems like you’re suffering a setback. Did those ancient cultivators come by earlier?" Xi He asked.

Xuan Nu gritted her teeth and said, "Knowing they came, what else do you have to say? You should know their way of thinking; those people are arrogant, much like you."

"Don’t take it out on me; it won’t do you any good," Xi He said. "Right now, I want to know the master’s situation, but since I can’t find his whereabouts, I’ll have to talk to the mistress about this. Will you come with me?"

"Are you talking about that human girl named Li Zhaojun? Do you think I would go looking for this woman and invite trouble for myself?" Xuan Nu shook her head and said, "Without Ye Fan, going to that little girl is useless. What does that girl know? Her cultivation barely surpassed the ascension level, far inferior to yours. Yet you go to her and have to speak humbly. Do you think there’s glory in that?"

Xi He shook his head, saying, "What is face worth? I don’t know such things. I only know that what we’re doing now is to find the master and use his power to help us do some things. Since we can’t find the master, only the mistress can help us..."

"You say you have no ulterior motive? Hmph, actually, Ye Fan, too, is arrogant like you. But the biggest difference between you and Ye Fan is that you don’t have the qualification to challenge Pan Gu and Fu Xi. If you did gain such qualification, I believe Pan Gu and Fu Xi wouldn’t fare well either. You’re truly someone who cares about every little gain!"

Even though Xuan Nu had disdain for Xi He, she still chose to go with him back to Earth to meet Li Zhaojun. She wanted to find out what hidden power Li Zhaojun held.

...

...

Meanwhile, inside Pan Gu’s secret realm, Sang Yuan was still continuing to advance Zhao Tianya’s cultivation.

Zhao Tianya’s cultivation had already reached a certain realm, a realm that even Sang Yuan found peculiar.

"This woman is strange, too. Her power didn’t follow the path of human cultivation. After she reached the ascension level, she didn’t undergo ascension at all. What exactly did her cultivation go through to undergo such changes?" Sang Yuan felt puzzled but couldn’t figure out what it was.

At this moment, Zhao Tianya suddenly opened her eyes and, looking in the direction of Sang Yuan, asked, "My cultivation seems to have reached your stated requirements, can you let me out?"

"Such things aren’t so easily done," Sang Yuan sneered and said, "The value of what you carry is far more than that, and you have no clear understanding of your cultivation. You might think you’ve reached a certain realm, but, in reality, you haven’t truly cultivated any power—it’s just a fleeting illusion!"

"What do you mean? Are you going to go back on your word?" Zhao Tianya frowned.

"You better be wise," Sang Yuan said, "This isn’t a cooperation; now you’re under my coercion—not only your life but also the lives of your loved ones. You can’t just say a few words, expecting me to let you go back!"

Zhao Tianya gritted her teeth and said vehemently, "Then what do I have to do for you to let me go? Even if you don’t let me go, you can’t threaten my daughter in any way."

"It depends on your performance," Sang Yuan said fiercely, "I already told you, as long as you obey me, I won’t act against you and your loved ones. But if you pretend to comply while you undermine me, trying to use my trust to do something... You’ll see the consequences of such actions. You better start cultivating right away. When it’s over, I’ll let you know—you don’t get to end it on your own!"
