The Holy Maiden Uncovers My Coffin When I Just Become An Emperor's Corpse-Chapter 177: With Husband Away, I’ll Protect You!

Enemies!

Leng Bi Yue and Xue Ni Chang exchanged a glance, both feeling uneasy in their hearts.

For Ming Yue to sense that they were strong cultivators, each emitting a determined killing aura, was truly extraordinary.

"Since they’re enemies, we should leave here quickly," said Li Wan Hua, who possessed an Immortal Physique, without hesitation.

"Okay, I’ll steer the ship’s shadow!" Ling Hu Chongtian agreed.

Ming Yue shook his head.

"It’s too late, they’re already here."

As soon as the words fell, boom!

The entire black ship’s shadow suddenly shook, and everyone hurried to steady themselves.

"Go, outside.

Staying inside will only make us die faster!" Leng Bi Yue shouted.

Bam!

With a loud noise, before they could act, the massive black ship’s shadow exploded.

Leng Bi Yue, Xue Ni Chang, Chu Mei’er, Tang Zhenyuan, Tang Qingqing, Li Wan Hua, Ling Hu Chongtian, and the others were all affected, spitting out a mouthful of reverse blood.

With the ship’s shadow gone, they fell from the sky. During their fall, they rapidly circulated their Profound Skills to stabilize the turbulent energy within.

Profound Qi surged out, steadying themselves.

Ao Tian was the first to stabilize, erupting with hundreds of strands of Sword Qi from his body.

"Hold onto the Sword Qi!" he shouted.

At his feet appeared a sword, allowing him to hover in the air without falling to the ground.

Hearing this, everyone grabbed onto the flying Sword Qi, then steadied themselves.

Taking advantage of the situation, they calmed the fluctuations caused by the previous impact.

"My child, we meet again!" a cold voice echoed, entering everyone’s ears.

Tang Zhenyuan, with blood at the corner of his mouth, looked toward the direction of the voice.

There stood a figure wearing a Purple Gold Crown and royal robes.

It was the Primordial Emperor!

His birth father!

"Greetings, Father!" he said, his expression unchanged.

The Primordial Emperor raised his hand,

"Star Shifting."

In the blink of an eye, Tang Zhenyuan’s body disappeared.

When he reappeared, he was already under the grip of the Primordial Emperor’s hand.

With one hand, the Primordial Emperor clutched Tang Zhenyuan’s neck,

slowly tightening his grip, making it difficult for Tang Zhenyuan to breathe.

"My good child, your father is not well!

I appointed you to manage and guard the treasury,

but you looted my treasury clean.

You even scraped the gold from the walls, leaving nothing behind.

Such attention to detail!" the Primordial Emperor said harshly.

Tang Zhenyuan’s lips curled.

"Thank you for the compliment, Father, I learned it from you!"

"Learned from me? Such disloyal, unfilial, unkind, and unrighteous actions!

When did I teach you that, and where did you learn it?" the Primordial Emperor retorted angrily.

"Father, that is not quite right in your words.

You’ve done all these things!

"I have done none of it!"

"Father, you really want me to say it, then let me speak.

I have the support of an entire Dynasty, yet you refuse to let me become a Crown Prince Candidate, isn’t that unkind as a father?

The previous Emperors all abdicated early to pursue Emperor Cultivation in the Nine Heavens.

There was even a testament that they couldn’t rule for more than half a century!

And you?

You’ve occupied the throne for almost sixty years without stepping down, violating the testament of the ancestors!

Isn’t that unfilial?

As for being unkind and unrighteous, haven’t you killed loyal generals, Royal Uncles, and numerous royal children and grandchildren?

They rendered great service for you, yet you still killed them.

Isn’t that unkind and unrighteous?"

"The positions I establish—who I give them to is my prerogative, and whom I don’t wish to give them to is also within my rights.

If I don’t give it to you, you have no right to demand it!

As for my position, of all the princes, which of you has shown promise?

I’m just waiting, waiting for the very best prince.

As for the loyal generals, princes, and royal grandchildren you’re talking about,

they’re merely conspirators trying to overthrow me," the Primordial Emperor replied.

"Father, no need to explain, we are six of one and half a dozen of the other; let’s not be bound by loyalty and filial piety.

Be straightforward, if there’s something you want to do, just do it!" Tang Zhenyuan said indifferently.

The Primordial Emperor pointed at Tang Zhenyuan, his rage overcoming him.

"Very well, you pillaged the treasury and your supporters have even killed four princes.

Despicable!

Now hand over everything from the treasury, and then come with me. Because you are my child, I will spare your life."

He extended his hand, placing it before Tang Zhenyuan!

One hand clutching Tang Zhenyuan, the other hand waiting for Tang Zhenyuan to hand over the items.

If Tang Zhenyuan didn’t have a use, the Primordial Emperor would have been eager to immediately kill this rebellious son in front of him.

"Father, I have nothing to hand over but my life.

And the reason you’re not killing me, I suspect, is not because I am your son.

After all, you’ve killed so many princes, killing one more like me is inconsequential.

The reason you won’t kill me is likely because you want to use me to threaten the Emperor!" Tang Zhenyuan said silently.

The Primordial Emperor’s eyes widened.

"Did I guess it right? Is it because the Emperor is in the Emperor’s Tomb and you can’t capture him?

What a pity!

My life belongs to the Emperor!

Even if it costs my life, I will never allow you to use me to threaten the Emperor," Tang Zhenyuan continued.

As he finished speaking, he was about to reverse his Profound Qi within to end his life.

The ancestor, transformed into a corpse demon, appeared behind Tang Zhenyuan and struck him on the head.

Before Tang Zhenyuan could react, he had fainted.

"It seems these people are all devotedly loyal to that kid. Knock them out and take them back directly," the Primordial Emperor said, lowering his head.

"Yes, ancestor."

The ancestor, transformed into a corpse demon, looked towards Leng Bi Yue and the others.

Seeing them stepping back, indicating their intent to escape.

"Don’t think about running away. With us old ones here,

no matter what skills you deploy, escaping is impossible."

Leng Bi Yue, Xue Ni Chang, Li Wan Hua, and the others halted.

Scanning the surroundings, they saw silhouettes approaching from all directions.

These people exuded terrifying auras.

Each one of their powers could easily annihilate all of them.

"And the surroundings’ void has already been sealed by us, making it impossible to escape using an Array Map,"

the tall Emperor, noticing Leng Bi Yue revealing part of an Array Map, remarked.

Leng Bi Yue’s expression changed slightly as she collected the Moving Array Map.

"Just come along quietly and don’t force us to be rough.

Otherwise, even if there’s a chance of survival in the future, you’ll be left with indelible injuries."

At some point, a short Emperor appeared before Leng Bi Yue and the others.

"They’re too strong!" Kong Xuan said with a firm voice.

Ao Tian nodded.

"I can’t even buy you some time to escape if I wanted to."

He was aware of his own strength!

And also knew how powerful the cultivators before him were!

Even if he used two hundred percent of his Profound Qi, it was impossible to defeat so many strong opponents.

Just as their thoughts turned fleetingly, the silhouettes surrounding them moved up close.

Only one step away.

Facing these strong opponents, even committing suicide would be difficult for them.

"Is there any way?" Li Wan Hua asked through Secret Transmission.

"None!"

"I don’t have one either!"

"It seems there’s only one method!

"Since they want to use us to threaten the master, we’ll let them have their wish.

When we see the master, I’ll secretly inform the master to kill us.

The master controls our souls, a mere thought is enough.

Once we’re dead, the master won’t be threatened because of us," Li Wan Hua conveyed.

"I don’t bear the master’s mark, I can’t die.

Besides, the master, although seemingly treating us as servants, would never kill us over their threats," said Tang Qingqing through Secret Transmission.

"Well, I was merely suggesting a feasible plan, I also want to continue side by side with the master," Li Wan Hua sighed.

"So do I!"

"So do I."

Nobody wanted to die!

But now the only choice was death!

"It’s just that we lack the strength, which is why we’re being threatened," Ling Hu Chongtian said through gritted teeth.

"If you gave me ten more years to cultivate, one sword strike would be all it takes to kill them.

All these people would become souls under my sword!"

He was unwilling!

"Capture them and hurry back, lest that boy escapes," the ancestor, transformed into a corpse demon, urged.

"Alright."

Surrounding Leng Bi Yue, Xue Ni Chang, Ling Hu Chongtian, Li Wan Hua, and others, the strong cultivators were about to strike.

"Since my husband isn’t here, let me protect you!" a clear female voice came from the middle of the crowd.
