Supreme Alchemist-Chapter 1698 - 1688: Coming by Orders

"The strength of the Desolate Emperor is truly terrifying!"

The Evil Emperor, Mad Emperor, Nalan Feng, and others witnessed the Desolate Emperor’s mighty blow that repelled King Caesar and were incredibly shocked, while also feeling somewhat excited and exhilarated.

"Excellent!"

At this moment, inside the Ancient City of Taihuang, voices of approval also sounded, and as they watched the retreating figure of the Desolate Emperor, their gazes were filled with admiration.

The strength of the Desolate Emperor was so immense that he was the epitome of a Strong One.

"King Caesar, you are no match for This Seat. If This Seat were to pay some cost, and push the Tower of the Great Emperor to its limit, slaying you would not be difficult,"

the Desolate Emperor said calmly to King Caesar, evidently having no intention of making another move.

His true intent was merely to deter King Caesar, not to kill him; hence, one move was sufficient.

King Caesar’s gaze turned somber. He too had not expected the Desolate Emperor’s strength to be so formidable, slightly stronger than his own.

During the instant they had clashed just now, he could feel that the Desolate Emperor indeed had not used his full strength.

"This King will remember you. Even if you can repel This King, you cannot withstand the Demon Clan!"

King Caesar said coldly, while also retracting his demon halberd into his body.

Being repelled by the Desolate Emperor did not mean he could shake the Demon Clan.

Right away, King Caesar, together with the people of the Demon Clan, left the place.

A crisis was thus averted by the Desolate Emperor.

"Senior Desolate Emperor, on behalf of the entire Zhenyang Sect, I thank you!"

Long Yan stepped forward and bowed respectfully to the Desolate Emperor.

If it were not for the arrival of the Desolate Emperor, the Ancient City of Taihuang would have faced a crisis, and the strength of the Dragon God Ancient City would have been prematurely exposed.

The Desolate Emperor’s momentum receded as he turned around, his gaze landing on Long Yan, he nodded slightly and said, "Follow me, I have words for you."

After speaking, the Desolate Emperor flew toward the distance, with Long Yan following behind.

"Clean up the battlefield!"

After Long Yan left with the Desolate Emperor, the Evil Emperor, Mad Emperor, the Suofeng Ghost Emperor, and others began to instruct their people from the Zhenyang Sect to start cleaning up the battlefield, while creatures like the Ghost-faced Ferocious Dragon and other Dark Beasts entered the battlefield to begin devouring the corpses of the Demon Clan.

At this moment, everyone within the Ancient City of Taihuang finally breathed a sigh of relief. The crisis was resolved, feeling as if they had just walked through a ghost gate and survived.

"Uncle Yan, what is the background of this Desolate Emperor?"

Nalan Feng asked Yan Chixiao.

"I am not very sure myself, but this person is very powerful. I fear even our Sect Master would be at a disadvantage against him,"

Yan Chixiao shook his head slightly, indicating his lack of knowledge about the Desolate Emperor.

"Such a Strong One is surely in pursuit of the path to becoming a God. By reason, he should not easily interfere in affairs. He must have some unusual thoughts."

Nalan Feng remarked.

The Desolate Emperor was a Loose cultivator not affiliated with any forces, and with such a high level of Cultivation, what he truly cared about was completing the cultivation of a Divine position and stepping into a new realm.

Even if the Demon Clan swallowed the Southern Wasteland Continent, it would not threaten the Desolate Emperor, who had no need to take action.

However, the Desolate Emperor did take action, which must certainly be for some reason.

"No matter what reason the Desolate Emperor had for helping the Zhenyang Sect, he indeed helped Zhenyang Sect avert a crisis and is unlikely to have any malicious intent,"

Yan Chixiao said.

Perhaps the Desolate Emperor might have some requests, but they would not be malevolent towards the Zhenyang Sect, which was enough.

"Young Sect Master, this calamity is an excellent opportunity for your training. You must seize the time to cultivate and truly integrate and gain control over the Star Destiny Soul Lamp!"

Yan Chixiao advised Nalan Feng.

"I understand,"

Nalan Feng nodded.

.........

Not far from the Ancient City of Taihuang, atop a range of mountain peaks, two figures stood. It was Long Yan and the Desolate Emperor.

"Senior, what do you wish to tell me?"

Long Yan asked in a soft voice.

"Do you know why I’ve chosen to help you?"

The Desolate Emperor asked.

Long Yan shook his head; he truly did not know.

Logically speaking, even if the Demon Clan devoured the entire Southern Wasteland Continent, it still wouldn’t pose a threat to the Desolate Emperor, who could easily stay out of this calamity.

"To tell you the truth, I am here on a mission."

The Desolate Emperor slowly let out a sentence.

"On a mission?"

Upon hearing this, Long Yan’s brows furrowed, even more puzzled.

As far as he knew, the Desolate Emperor was a Loose Cultivator, not belonging to any forces. Whose command was he following?

Who was behind the Desolate Emperor? To command obedience from the Desolate Emperor, that person must be no ordinary individual!

Why would that person want to help the True Yang Sect?

Questions surfaced one after another in Long Yan’s mind.

"Indeed, I am here to assist you on orders. Why the Master wishes to help you, I am not clear on that either, but perhaps it’s because you are the Nine Suns Inheritor."

The Desolate Emperor said indifferently.

In fact, he only knew that the Nine Suns Inheritor was no ordinary person, but he did not know what it truly implied.

"Senior, if I may ask boldly, who is your Master?"

Long Yan asked quietly.

Curious about the one who could make the Desolate Emperor submit, not just follow, Long Yan became even more intrigued.

"I do not know where my Master comes from, but he has a Dragon-Tiger Supreme by his side, which you might have seen."

The Desolate Emperor spoke, his tone laden with respect.

"Dragon-Tiger Supreme!"

On hearing this, Long Yan’s mind was greatly shaken.

So it seemed, the Master of the Desolate Emperor was also the Master of the Dragon-Tiger Supreme.

Long Yan had indeed seen the Dragon-Tiger Supreme before; at that time, the Dragon-Tiger Supreme had taken some Life Essence Liquid from Long Yan and told him that his Master would offer Long Yan a helping hand in the future.

"Just what is that person’s background?"

Long Yan thought to himself secretly.

Being able to command allegiance from beings like the Dragon-Tiger Supreme and the Desolate Emperor, Long Yan could hardly imagine what kind of existence that must be.

"You need not speculate about the Master’s origins. Since the Master has decided to help you, he must have his reasons. I think you shall meet before long,"

The Desolate Emperor seemed to see what Long Yan was thinking and made a comment.

Long Yan nodded.

Indeed, he had no clue, but if that person had decided to help him, they would surely meet.

"The Master has instructed me to protect the True Yang Sect, but I must tell you that this does not mean I will exert myself on behalf of the Zhenyang Sect. You should understand what I mean."

The Desolate Emperor said.

He would simply do his best to keep the Zhenyang Sect safe; in other words, only if the Zhenyang Sect faced a crisis of life and death would he have a compelling reason to intervene. At other times, he could choose to help or to stay on the sidelines.

He was not under the control of the Zhenyang Sect.

"I understand."

Long Yan nodded, "Senior, for you to take action and resolve this crisis for me, I am already immensely grateful."

Long Yan naturally understood the Desolate Emperor’s implication: the Zhenyang Sect, not yet at the brink of life and death, could find the Desolate Emperor keeping his distance. Therefore, for the Zhenyang Sect to remain unshaken in this calamity, they must rely on their own strength.
