Chapter 2076: High Heaven Palace (2/2)

The prince snorted and didn’t bother responding. He had indeed experienced this logic many times throughout the course of his life.

“We only want the High Heaven Palace, hand it over and we’ll leave right away.” Freesky’s group was fixated on this artifact.

A Grand Emperor heard this and stared at the ancient palace: “That’s the legendary High Heaven Scroll, rumored to be the best?”

Of course, no one knew whether this claim was true or not. However, after seeing its power earlier, they found it to be quite reasonable.

“You must be dreaming.” Li Qiye chuckled and gestured at the palace, causing it to shrink down to the size of a fist while floating around him.

It didn’t take long before people forgot about the rest of the academy. All eyes were on this ultimate artifact. After all, what could be more precious in comparison?

It was best to seize this item first before doing anything else!

“Dao Brother, I don’t know who you are but it doesn’t matter how strong you are, the situation is already settled. You won't be able to protect the academy or keep that artifact. Hand it over, we’ll protect it for the sake of the hundred races.” Freesky stepped forward and led his group of thirteen emperors. The only thing in their eyes right now was the palace.

“How shameless.” A sneer answered him with the appearance of a blue expanse. A person was riding a bull over. He seemed free and relaxed, capable of shouldering the world and acting as its shepherd: “Freesky, a wretch like you being able to become a monarch is indeed a miracle of the ages.”

“Immortal Emperor Mu Tian!” Someone recognized this bull rider.

“Another emperor from the nine worlds.” One person became excited.

This was an emperor from Heavenguard and had access to some amazing techniques.

Freesky remained calm despite the shameful position he found himself in: “This is just the nature of life, Fellow Daoist Mu Tian, can you honestly say you have never taken something from others?”

Mu Tian smiled in response: “I have bullied and killed numerous who were weaker than myself. However, I was never an ungrateful traitor! Someone like that does not deserve to be an Immortal Monarch. Thus, I shall slay you today to rid the academy of its vermin!”

“Mu Tian, you think I am afraid of you? We’ll see who will be the one falling.” Freesky shouted after hearing the harsh comment.

“Come, we’ll have our battle.” Mu Tian waved and challenged.

“I shall also rid the academy and the hundred races of these wretches!” Soaring Immortal Prince was also itching to kill. His bloodthirst engulfed the other thirteen monarchs behind Freesky.

“Haha, count the two of us in, Imperial Prince.” The Tyrant Tiger laughed and said.

“I also look down on traitor the most!” Lifepeach was ready to take down these monarchs with the prince.

Meanwhile, the Grand Emperors from the three races had a sneer on their face because this was an embarra.s.sing moment for the hundred races. Of course they would be willing to see the monarchs kill each other while they wait for a better opportunity.

“Protect the academy first.” The ancestors of the academy were eager as well but Li Qiye told them with a smile.

The ancestors finally realized this was the time. They once again took over the platform. It lit up and the academy was stabilized with its defensive barriers strengthened.

“Mu Tian, no need to rush to kill these fools. Many people are still watching.” Li Qiye told the emperor.

“You are right, Teacher.” The emperor bowed towards Li Qiye. He then turned towards Freesky and said: “My eyes are on you.”

Freesky snorted and wasn’t in a hurry to attack either. He knew that the Grand Emperors were waiting to take advantage of the situation so he remained focus on his goal - the High Heaven Palace.

The Grand Emperors glanced at each other after seeing that these monarchs weren’t going to fight among themselves.
