The King of Urban Mercenaries

Chapter 1651 - 1656: Confucian Emperor!

"In that case, we have nothing more to discuss. I shall return to Qianhuang Peak and inform everyone there about this matter!" Dugu Aotian finished speaking, said no more, and turned to fly toward the distance.

But just then, the great hall suddenly lit up with golden light. Dugu Aotian felt as if the sky was collapsing, and not only that, but the Divine Desolate Hall above really began to change. Beams of golden light shot up from the ground, trapping Dugu Aotian within a column of light.

Finally, all the golden light transformed into a golden cage, imprisoning Dugu Aotian inside.

Dugu Aotian snorted coldly, reached behind him, and suddenly spun his long sword. A Sword Qi, thin as a cicada’s wing, flashed, and in the blink of an eye, a gap appeared in the cage. However, to Dugu Aotian’s annoyance, the gap soon closed back up, and it was once again a complete cage.

"Boom!"

Following that, Dugu Aotian struck with his palm. The strike was incredibly powerful, blasting a large hole in the golden cage. But just as Dugu Aotian was about to escape, the cage reappeared, and he crashed into it, finally stopping with a loud "clang."

"Hahaha, my nephew, stop wasting your effort. You cannot escape my restraints." Huang Xiaotian, sitting on the platform, said with a laugh.

Dugu Aotian looked up at Huang Xiaotian. "Do you know the consequence of offending me, elder?"

Huang Xiaotian laughed heartily, "Offend you? I’ve even offended your father, not to mention you. What can you do to me?" Huang Xiaotian seemed utterly unafraid of Dugu Aotian, even speaking of Aotian’s father.

"In that case, don’t blame me for using this thing."

Saying so, Dugu Aotian shook a golden stone in his hand. It was crystal clear, like gold and jade, dazzlingly bright. However, such a beautiful stone made Huang Xiaotian’s heart race when he saw it, and he immediately said, "Nephew, wait!"

"What is it, elder? What do you want? You’d better not act rashly, or else I will crush this Divine Stone." Dugu Aotian threatened.

But faced with Dugu Aotian’s threat, Huang Xiaotian was helpless and directly withdrew all the cages, ensuring Dugu Aotian’s safety.

Dugu Aotian looked at Huang Xiaotian above. "Elder, what is your decision?"

Huang Xiaotian snorted, "If it weren’t for your Divine Stone, I would have killed you already!"

"True, but you haven’t killed me, and you can’t do anything to me either, right?"

Hearing Dugu Aotian’s words, Huang Xiaotian fell silent. He had to admit that Dugu Aotian was right; he indeed did not dare to kill Dugu Aotian, but he could still act against him. At this moment, Huang Xiaotian lightly hooked his finger, and suddenly, Dugu Aotian noticed the Divine Stone in his hand was gone.

"Not bad, truly splendid. The Divine Stone lives up to its name, but now it seems you’ve lost the thing that can threaten me." Huang Xiaotian spoke.

Dugu Aotian nodded, "Not bad, not bad, elder’s speed is indeed impressive, but how about this one?" Dugu Aotian extended his hand, and there was another Divine Stone in it.

But just as Huang Xiaotian was about to snatch it, Dugu Aotian crushed the Divine Stone without hesitation, and instantly the entire world fell silent.

Boom!

Heaven and earth seemed to be struck by a gigantic hand, the clouds in the sky exploded, leaving traces of explosions that filled the sky.

At the same time, an overwhelmingly powerful pressure forced everyone to their knees, trembling, unable to lift their heads, lowering their noble heads to the ground.

And at this moment, Huang Xiaotian hurriedly stood up and bowed his head, seemingly waiting to greet an existence.

However, the powerful aura did not appear, but a booming voice rang in everyone’s ears.

"Xiaotian, what’s the matter? Why have you called me?"

Hearing these words, Huang Xiaotian looked at Dugu Aotian, hoping he wouldn’t speak out, but Dugu Aotian, unfazed, directly said, "Confucian Emperor, this manager of the Wildlands, Huang Xiaotian, has privately opened the regional formation and let people from the Upper Realm go to the Lower Realm. What do you think should be done about this?"

Upon hearing Dugu Aotian’s words, the powerful presence replied, "According to the rules of Qianhuang Peak, naturally, such a person should be executed without mercy."

When this voice fell, Huang Xiaotian trembled all over, sweat covering his face. He did not expect this junior Dugu Aotian to have a Divine Stone, and not just one—it truly made him envious.

But just then, the pressure on Huang Xiaotian disappeared, and a powerful aura seemed to appear behind him, clashing against the aura in the sky.

"The old Wild Master is here too, how lively! Hahaha." The Confucian Emperor in the sky laughed.

"Confucian Emperor, it’s been a long time. I wonder if you could grant me some face and spare my descendant this once?"

"But he has violated the rules, so what should be done?"

After the Confucian Emperor spoke, another voice fell silent for a long time, but no one dared to urge him to speak. At this moment, Dugu Aotian and everyone else were waiting for that voice to speak.

Huang Xiaotian did not expect the old Wild Master to come out; after all, that was his elder. He never imagined such intervention to save him.

Originally, he had only heard there was a Divine Artifact and, therefore, had mobilized everyone. But now it seems his decision was indeed a mistake, even bringing the Imperial Capital here!

"This item is what you’ve always wanted. Take it." Finally, the silent voice spoke, and a white light appeared in mid-air, merging into the sky and disappearing.

"Hahahahaha, actually, this matter is nothing much. Just don’t ignore the rules of Qianhuang Peak in the future." The Confucian Emperor finally relented, acknowledging how favors and alliances tend to apply everywhere.

"Of course, we understand. Please take your leave, Confucian Emperor, and convey our regards to the seniors at Qianhuang Peak."

"Certainly, certainly."

The pressure suddenly disappeared, and then the powerful force from the Divine Desolate Hall also vanished. Finally, everyone seemed to be released, breathing a sigh of relief. But soon after, Dugu Aotian spoke again.

"I wonder, what is your decision this time, elder?" Dugu Aotian’s face was full of proud expression, evidently making Huang Xiaotian feel the Qianhuang Peak’s power was undeniably dignified and inviolable, giving him the right to be proud now.

Qianhuang Peak, indeed formidable!

Huang Xiaotian said coldly, "Since the ancestor has already decided, of course this matter is my error."
