Chapter 363: Half-Emperor Senior People
People around were all bewildered.
Not only the Saints from the Fang and Ye Families were stunned.
Even the Saints from Xu Leng's family were shocked.
How had Xu Nian become entangled with the Demon Clan?
And how could he make three Demon Saints kneel before him?
Xu Nian himself was also a bit dazed at this moment.
He too was surprised by the arrival of these three Demon Saints.
Even more unexpectedly, these three Demon Saints actually called him "Lord" and knelt before him.
However, he still guessed something.
Indeed, the leader among the three Demon Saints, a man named Red Bright, spoke, "Lord, you might not know this, but it was General Hei who sent us."
With these words, Xu Nian understood immediately.
The "General Hei" they spoke of was naturally the Black Hou that Xu Nian had subjugated.
He just did not expect that this Black Hou also had a title like a general.
"Rise," Xu Nian said.
"Yes," the three Demon Saints responded immediately.
People around, seeing this, became even more astonished.
The three holy figures of the Demon Clan were so respectful towards Xu Nian.
Upon seeing this, Situ Yu's expression grew even more solemn.
He had never imagined Xu Nian would have ties with the Demon Clan.
With this, his plan to kill Xu Nian had become not so easy.
"Red Bright Fire Fox, he is a major criminal of our Imperial Family. Do you really want to be enemies with our Imperial Family for his sake?" a middle-aged man in brocade clothes angrily said.
"Haha, enemies with your Imperial Family? I'm afraid your Imperial Family has never thought of letting us go. Let me tell you the truth, we have decided to protect Lord Xu Nian. If you really want to make a move, the Demon Beast Forest is willing to fight to the end," Red Bright Fire Fox laughed.
Upon hearing this, Situ Yu's eyes became extremely fierce.
Whether for the dragon vein, or for the Seventh Prince and Ninth Prince, Xu Nian had to die.
But now, he faced obstruction from the Demon Clan's saints.
This made it very difficult for him.
"No, Xu Nian must die!" Situ Yu thought fiercely to himself.
Then, a ruthless look flashed in his eyes.
He waved his sleeve next.
A giant then appeared behind him.
This giant was entirely red, standing at a height of about five meters.
Its skin seemed as if burned red like charcoal, yet it exuded an invincible sense of hardness.
And the aura it emitted was particularly terrifying.
"Is that a Stam Giant?"
People around, seeing the giant appear, expressed their surprise.
The Stam Giant was a special kind of people in Beimo County.
These people were naturally strong, and didn't even need cultivation.
They were born with the strength of the Body Sect level.
Upon reaching adulthood, they were comparable to a Body General, and some even to the Body King Realm.
And if a Stam Giant practiced the Body Refining Technique, they could easily reach the Peak of Body Saint.
Naturally, they also had one drawback: their race was rare.
They were slow thinkers, and even if they reached the Peak of Body Saint, they could easily be enslaved by the Imperial Family.
And the Stam Giant before them had obviously reached the Peak of Body Saint.
That meant, this time the Imperial Family had deployed two Peak Powerhouses.
Xu Nian and others, seeing this scene, were all taken aback.
The Imperial Family was indeed formidable, to still have this up their sleeve.
It seemed meant as a precaution against unexpected events.
With this, Xu Nian's side had only one Nine-star Demon Saint.
They couldn't possibly stop the Imperial Family's advance!
In a moment, everyone began to feel deeply moved.
They originally thought that Xu Nian's situation would take a turn for the better.
But they did not expect that the Imperial Family would still be one step ahead.
In the end, Xu Nian could not escape his fate.
"Stam, take action!"
Situ Yu no longer hesitated, directly issuing the command.
He feared that if too much time passed, something unexpected might occur.
"Roar!"
Upon hearing the command, the Stam Giant immediately let out a thunderous roar.
Then, its massive body leapt up, fiercely stamping towards Xu Nian and the others.
The giant body almost obscured the sun, and the aura it emitted made everyone around shiver with fear.
However, when the Red Bright Fire Fox witnessed this scene, it simply smiled slightly.
It exchanged a glance with Xu Nian.
The latter's face remained utterly impassive.
On the other side, Situ Yu also began to muster his power, preparing to take advantage of the Stam Giant's attack. As soon as the giant attacked, he would make his move to kill Xu Nian once and for all.
But just when everyone thought Xu Nian and the others would be crushed by the Stam Giant's attack,
A majestic force that no one expected crashed down from the sky.
Then, everyone saw the leaping Stam Giant crashing to the ground like a meteor.
"Boom!"
An earth-shattering noise.
The ground formed a massive crater.
"What?"
Situ Yu, who was ready to act, was suddenly stunned.
"Half... Half-Emperor's might?"
Everyone felt this terrifying pressure and looked up at the sky.
They saw a middle-aged man with black hair and wearing a black robe standing in the air.
It was this black-haired middle-aged man who had punched the Stam Giant down.
"Half-Emperor Senior People!"
Everyone's Saints were stunned.
A Half-Emperor Senior Person had unexpectedly appeared.
Including Situ Yu, who also furrowed his brows.
Half-Emperor Senior People, although only 'half-Emperor,'
But anyone associated with the word 'Emperor' was beyond the league of Saints.
Thus, Situ Yu dared not act rashly.
If the other party wanted to kill him, he could certainly do it in an instant.
"Senior, as a Half-Emperor, you must surely be aware of the 'Emperor Pact'. Your coming here, I'm afraid, is quite inappropriate?" Situ Yu struggled momentarily but still addressed the black-haired man in the sky.
Anyone associated with the word 'Emperor' must adhere to the 'Emperor Pact' and cannot act at will.
Otherwise, they would face collective opposition.
Obviously, the appearance of this Half-Emperor Senior Person already violated the 'Emperor Pact'.
"Hmph, 'Emperor Pact'? That thing doesn't work on me," the black-haired man said, his voice as authoritative as a resounding bell.
"It doesn't work? As an Emperor-level strong man, you must be restricted. Are you intending to breach that?" Situ Yu's eyes were sharp as he loudly retorted.
"Hmph, little boy, are you seeking death by speaking to me in that tone? Let me tell you the truth, I am not bound by the 'Emperor Pact,' so even if I kill you, there would be no constraints on me from the 'Emperor Pact,'" Black Hou said coldly, his tone filled with dissatisfaction.
"That's impossible. Every Emperor-level strong man would be bound by the 'Emperor Pact' the moment they step into the Half-Emperor stage. It would automatically appear in your mind. You cannot possibly be outside of its constraints, unless..." Situ Yu hurriedly countered.
But he paused midway through his sentence, suddenly struck by a realization.
"Ha ha, little boy, you guessed right," Black Hou laughed heartily.
Upon hearing this, Situ Yu's face drastically changed, and he murmured, "Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
The surrounding Saints also realized something, their expressions drastically changing. Experience more content on My Virtual Library Empire
However, the black-haired elder simply sneered and turned his head toward Xu Nian.
He knelt midair and loudly said, "Subordinate Black Hou pays respects to the master!"
"Boom!"
A clap of thunder exploded in everyone's minds on a clear day!
