Chapter 208 - Emperor Ascension Array (2/2)

He turned and his eyes widened. “BIrd! Ah pui… Celestial Emperor Blackbird, why are you here too?”

“I don’t know!” He shook his head. “When I opened my eyes, I found myself here. I think there are others!”

Lonemoon scanned his surroundings. Indeed, there were a couple more figures in front of him now, not far away. Only after the white fog completely cleared did he recognise everybody.

Needless to say, Chen Ge was there. There were four others and they were all the Celestial Emperors of various continents: Lan Yu, Ying Zhi, Ji Zhe, and even Chu Xuan. Six out of ten of the Celestial Emperors were here. They were just like him – there was an array underneath each of them. All of them were trapped at different spots, and they formed a circle. The arrays connected with one another to form a huge array that he never saw before.

“Brother Lonemoon, you’re here too!” Chu Xuan’s eyes brightened when he spotted Lonemoon. He looked around and asked, “Where’s the Exalted Goddess? Is that Exalted Goddess here as well?” Ji Zhe, Blackbird and Tao Shu began to look around the place as well.

“She’s not!” Lonemoon shook his head. “I got transported here all of a sudden as well. She could not stop me in time and she doesn’t even know where I am.” He tried to get up to scan the surroundings.

“This is the Emperor Ascension Stage,” Chen Ge suddenly said. There was panic in his eyes.

The few of them paused and looked at him. One by one, they studied their surroundings.

“It really is the Emperor Ascension Stage!” Ji Zhe exclaimed. “Who would set up an array here?”

“Celestial Emperor Chu Xuan, you’re the most experienced in arrays. Can you tell what array this is?” Chen Ge asked.

“I’m not sure either,” Chu Xuan shook his head. “I have never seen an array like that in my life. What’s more… this array doesn’t look like it’s just meant to trap us. The person who trapped us here is likely only at stage one of his plan. I don’t know what he’s up to!”

“Who cares what he’s up to!” Blackbird exploded. “This array has trapped me here for a couple of days now. Do any of you know how to break out of this array?”

They all fell silent.

“None of you have a plan?!” Blackbird’s expression darkened. “What kind of array is this? Why is it so freaking powerful?”

“This is not an array!” A voice announced coolly from on top of them.

At the next moment, a few figures landed in the middle of the Emperor Ascension Stage. There were two men and one woman. Right in front of the group was an immortal with a long white beard. The immortal Qi in his body was much richer than that of all of them combined. He looked extremely benevolent and righteous. He looked just like those high and mighty divine beings that Lonemoon always saw on the television

“Celestial Emperor Zi Chen!” Everyone exclaimed.

“Who?” Lonemoon paused.

“He is the Celestial Emperor of the Bo Sea, Celestial Emperor Zi Chen,” Tao Shu explained in a low voice.

Lonemoon suddenly understood. So it was him. He looked closely at the people behind Zi Chen. It was no wonder that he informed Chen Ge there was no phenomenon spotted at the Bo Sea when the few of them wanted to go there. They were in cahoots! The two people behind him were Xin Han and Hui Ling.

“Master!” Hui Ling shouted.

“Little Ling?” Chen Ge was obviously shocked as well. “What are you doing here?”

Hui Ling walked toward Chen Ge, but Xin Han pulled her back. “Little Xuan, you forgot what I said to you earlier.”

“But… But…” Hui Ling looked at Chen Ge, clearly tortured. Alas, she had no other choice.
