Chaos Heavenly Emperor Technique

Chapter 1792 - 1793: Emperor Xuan Seal! (2nd Update)

Just as Ling Feng was drumming up schemes in his mind, contemplating various countermeasures, a clear voice echoed in his ear.

"Little one, is it so inconvenient for you to meet me?"

The voice came slowly, seemingly gentle.

"I am honored by the Saint Emperor’s favor, caught off guard by your grace."

Ling Feng quickly bowed to the Eastern Splendor Saint Emperor before raising his head to take a look at him.

With one glance, Ling Feng couldn’t help but slightly twitch his eyelids. Vaguely, this high and mighty Saint Emperor felt rather familiar to him.

Especially those eyes!

For a moment, Ling Feng was stunned.

"Junior Brother Ling!"

Beside him, Yuee HuaQin quickly nudged Ling Feng, whispering, "Do not be rude!"

"Hehe..."

Only then did Ling Feng return to his senses, yet his intuition couldn’t be wrong.

"No harm."

The Eastern Splendor Saint Emperor smiled faintly, "Ling Feng, do you find my face somewhat familiar?"

"Uh..."

Ling Feng raised his hand to touch his nose, hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

"Hehe, it’s all thanks to me passing down to you the Sixth level Thunderfire Rule Inscription. How quickly you forget?" The Eastern Splendor Saint Emperor squinted slightly, smiling gently.

"You... you are..."

The Eastern Splendor Saint Emperor revealed this much, how could Ling Feng not realize? He hurriedly bowed again, "Thank you, Saint Emperor!"

No wonder the assessment of the 9th Floor of the Tower of Apocalypse seemed so peculiar; turns out it was the Eastern Splendor Saint Emperor himself who tested him.

Yet, Ling Feng couldn’t comprehend why someone of the Saint Emperor’s stature showed interest in testing a junior like him.

Even if he won first place in the Sunset Chosen One, in the eyes of such a powerful figure, it shouldn’t count for much, should it?

"This is your own skill, don’t thank me."

The Eastern Splendor Saint Emperor didn’t seem conceited, gestured for Ling Feng to rise, continuing, "Your talent is unparalleled; there’s not a single junior in Yunluo Sacred Land who compares."

"The Sacred Land flatters me."

Ling Feng coughed dryly; receiving praise from such a powerful figure made him feel slightly dizzy.

"However, even so, you deceived the disciple of mine and secretly hoarded the Yellow Emperor Seal, do you admit to this?"

Suddenly, the Eastern Splendor Saint Emperor changed the topic, pulling Ling Feng back down from his cloud of complacency.

Damn, so this was his true intention all along!

"Uh... this..."

Ling Feng immediately broke out in a cold sweat, glancing at the Eastern Splendor Saint Emperor, then at Yuee HuaQin beside him, unable to respond.

"Ling... Junior Brother Ling, you..."

Yuee HuaQin’s gaze held a mix of confusion and anger, staring at Ling Feng in disbelief, "Junior Brother Ling, is what Master said true? Have you been deceiving me this whole time?"

"I..."

Ling Feng felt overwhelmed; indeed, one reaps what one sows in due time!

"Senior Sister Yuee, I apologize, I lied to you..."

Ling Feng had nothing to say; no matter the purpose or reason, deceit was deceit.

Proposing to share part of the treasure hidden by the Five Emperor Seals afterwards held no meaning.

"Saint Emperor, this was indeed my wrongdoing, I, Ling Feng, admit it!"

Ling Feng took a deep breath and said slowly, "At the time, Senior Sister Yuee did say to only entrust the Five Emperor Seals to my care. I, motivated by selfish intent, deceived her. I am willing to take full responsibility for this!"

"Good, at least you dare to admit your actions!"

The Eastern Splendor Saint Emperor cast an icy glance, and for a moment, Ling Feng felt like he had fallen into an ice cellar, his physique seemingly unable to withstand even this perceived chill.

This is the gap of absolute power.

Even if he could contend with ordinary Mid-level Emperors now, standing in front of Half-Saint strong individuals was akin to a toddler taking his first steps.

"Did you come to Yunluo Sacred Land this time to steal another Five Emperor Seals?"

The Eastern Splendor Saint Emperor asked coldly.

"Saint Emperor, do you think I’m a fool?"

Ling Feng looked at the Eastern Splendor Saint Emperor, answering lightly.

"Oh? How so?" The Eastern Splendor Saint Emperor stared at Ling Feng and asked slowly.

Ling Feng chuckled bitterly, "Though I fancy myself somewhat capable, Yunluo Sacred Land is teeming with masters, and Half-Saint strong individuals reside within; I wouldn’t be stupid enough to march to my death, right?"

"Then why did you come here?"

"Someone told me if I came to Yunluo Sacred Land, I would obtain the Five Emperor Seals!" Ling Feng answered truthfully, "So, here I am."

"Hahaha!"

The Eastern Splendor Saint Emperor scrutinized Ling Feng for a moment, suddenly relaxed his imposing aura, and laughed heartily.

Ling Feng felt an overwhelming sense of ease wash over him, looking at the Eastern Splendor Saint Emperor with slight bewilderment.

This old man, what does he mean?

"Here is the Emperor Xuan Seal, Ling Feng, take it."

Whoosh!

The sound of windbreaking came. Ling Feng instinctively reached out his hand and caught the object thrown by the Eastern Splendor Saint Emperor, looking at it in front of him. Indeed, it was a jade seal, similar in size to other Five Emperor Seals, but in a different color and pattern.

On the base of the jade seal, a character "Xuan" was carved in an ancient script.

Indeed, it was the Emperor Xuan Seal among the Five Emperor Seals!

Thump thump!

Ling Feng’s heartbeat instantly accelerated several times over.

The highly contested Five Emperor Seals were just given to him like that?

Ling Feng even had the urge to pinch his thigh to verify if he was dreaming.

Given for free?

Ling Feng thought he dared not dream this bold.

"What? You look like you find it hard to believe?"

The Eastern Splendor Saint Emperor smiled, a gleam of humor flashing through his eyes as he looked at Ling Feng.

"Hmph, Junior Brother Ling, you tricked me once, I tricked you once, think we’re even now!"

Yuee HuaQin beside him, suddenly seemed to change completely, dropping her previous look of grief and indignation, instead appearing somewhat impish and quirky.

It turned out Yuee HuaQin had teamed up with the Eastern Splendor Saint Emperor to put on a show for him!

And he thought disaster was looming over him.

"What exactly... is going on?"

Ling Feng was completely baffled; he couldn’t believe such a treasure as the Emperor Xuan Seal was being given away like this by the Eastern Splendor Saint Emperor.

Surely there was more to this than met the eye.

"Thank Elder Turtle."

The Eastern Splendor Saint Emperor stood with hands behind his back and said lightly, "Elder Turtle and I made a wager, and since he won, the Emperor Xuan Seal is yours."

"This..."

Ling Feng paused for a moment, quickly catching on.

Even though the Eastern Splendor Saint Emperor spoke casually, Ling Feng knew that beneath the surface lay other reasons.

For an figure like the Eastern Splendor Saint Emperor, every decision he made was never as simple as it seemed.
