Chapter 453
Chapter 453 – Old Emperor
Amidst the winds of change, a tremendous storm was brewing in the Eastern Continent. When the Imperial Emperor had passed down the Imperial Decree forcing everyone to wear mourning close, it immediately gave birth to a lot of discontent feeling amongst many great warriors, especially those at the Combat Soul realm. As Combat Soul warriors, they had their own pride and dignity, and they couldn’t accept the fact that they were forced to wear mourning clothes for no reason. If it was under normal circumstances, they would have no way to resist this order, since they were too weak in comparison to the Martial Saint Dynasty. But now, things had changed! There was another power who was strong enough to stand against it, so they were now presented with a choice.
Because of that, many Combat Soul warriors were now heading towards the Black Sect with the intentions of joining them in their fight against the Martial Saint Dynasty.
It could be said that the Imperial Emperor had unintentionally helped Jiang Chen. What he did, he did to show off the Martial Saint Dynasty’s authority. Ever since Jiang Chen had appeared, the dignity and authority of the Martial Saint Dynasty had suffered a huge challenge. Not only that, with the death of the emperors, the Martial Saint Dynasty’s face gone down the drain. What the Imperial Emperor wanted to do was bring back face and defend the authority of the Martial Saint Dynasty. He wanted to let everyone know that in the Eastern Continent, no one could challenge the Martial Saint Dynasty’s authority. Therefore, what he did was an act that showed the authority of the Martial Saint Dynasty, and that he was a man who no one could defy.
However, right at this very moment, Wu Jiu was breaking through to the Combat King realm, and Jiang Chen was spreading the news in order to attract more people to him. The difference between one Combat King warrior and two Combat King warriors was completely different. With two Combat King warriors, people would feel that Jiang Chen really did have the ability to fight against the Martial Saint Dynasty, and that was the reason why all those great warriors wanted to join him.
Outside of the Black Sect; Daoist Black, Guo Shan, Yu Zihan and a few others were walking back and forth. They were following Jiang Chen’s request; waiting there to welcome the heroes of the Eastern Continent.
“Will this really work? Why have we still not seen anyone?”
Yu Zihan said in a gloomy manner.
The Imperial Emperor coldly harrumphed. The Martial Saint Dynasty had lost all its face under his control, causing him to feel disgraced.
“Father, in order to prevent anything bad from happening, I suggest we invite the Old Emperor and the Old Great Emperor to help us.”
The Crown Prince suggested.
The Crown Prince’s words caused the Imperial Emperor to clench his fists tightly. The Old Emperor and Old Great Emperor had long ago entered secluded cultivation and stopped interfering in any matters related to the Martial Saint Dynasty. However, now, the Imperial Emperor was forced to alert them. This made him feel useless.
“We can’t alert the Old Great Emperor now, as we’re still far away from reaching a critical situation, so he won’t help us. I’ll go find the Old Emperor now.”
After saying that, the Imperial Emperor moved his body and disappeared.
Within an isolated secret underground chamber of the Martial Saint Dynasty. It was a secret chamber with a huge space, and it had been constructed with hard stone. Underneath it was an energy vein. The secret chamber only had simple decorations, and a big, golden hassock was placed in the center. An old man wearing a grey robe was sitting on top of it. He looked to be in his fifities, and his hair was half black half gray. He had a majestic looking face.
Right at this moment, the space within the secret chamber wobbled, and a figure was revealed in front of the old man. It was the Imperial Emperor.
“Greetings, Imperial Uncle.”
The Imperial Emperor bowed deeply toward the Old Emperor. This Old Emperor was the previous Imperial Emperor of the Martial Saint Dynasty, but he wasn’t the father of the current Imperial Emperor. The imperial throne wasn’t inherited from father to son, rather, it was inherited by the strongest prince of the younger generation.
“Imperial Emperor, why have you come here?”
The Old Emperor opened his eyes and asked. He had a pair of sharp eyes that shone brightly like the brightest stars. His aura was stronger than the Imperial Emperor’s aura, so it was obvious that he had already reached the peak of the First Grade Combat King realm, and was just a step away from the Second Grade.
“Imperial Uncle, the reason I came here today is to seek your help.”
The Imperial Emperor said.
