Chapter 48: The Tide Turns!

Ptooey!

Ao Wushuang spat out a mouthful of dragon saliva, spraying it directly onto the face of Great Emperor The Beginning, and said with disdain: "Despicable villain, I, Ao Wushuang, saw through you long ago. Whether you want to kill me or carve me up, do as you, Vast Expanse, and Heaven's Grudge please, you three dog-like things!"

Great Emperor The Beginning was caught off guard and sprayed in the face; after wiping away the saliva with an expressionless face, he growled grimly:

"Someone, drag him into the Warship Imperial Prison and extract his essence blood until it is completely drained!!!"

"Yes!"

Several Emperors of the Emperor Alliance stepped up, gripped the Binding Dragon Rope, and dragged Ao Wushuang away.

Ao Wushuang did not want to resist, so as to avoid physical suffering.

As for the pursuit of Ao Yin, he was not worried in the slightest; Ao Yin's escape skills were even better than his own!

Ao Yin possessed a treasure that could both facilitate escape and block divination, known as the Hidden Dragon Plate!

Watching Ao Wushuang being dragged away, Great Emperor The Beginning stood on the deck and began to calculate Ao Yin's location with his fingers...

"How is this possible? Even if Ao Yin runs as fast as he can, I shouldn't be unable to sense him at all!"

Great Emperor The Beginning's expression changed repeatedly, his face full of bewilderment!

Great Emperor Vast Expanse and Great Emperor Heaven's Grudge stepped forward and also performed calculations with their fingers, equally shocked!

Tianni pondered for a moment and muttered: "When we wiped out the Dragon-man Clan back then, it seems there was a Half-Immortal Artifact with extreme speed and the ability to block divination that Ao Yin carried with him, which we didn't manage to obtain."

Mangcang was stunned upon hearing this, thought for a moment, and suddenly said: "I remember that matter too!"

"It was that Hidden Dragon Plate!"

Great Emperor Taichu blurted it out, his eyes gleaming with cold light.

Then he paced with his hands behind his back, feeling helpless: "If it is that Hidden Dragon Plate, there is almost no way for us to find him, but..."

"But what?"

Mangcang and Tianni asked in unison; Taichu had stopped halfway through his sentence, and their hearts felt as if they were being clawed by cats!

Taichu shook his head and sneered: "Have you forgotten that we have someone behind us? Heh, that Lord did say we must capture these two little Dragon-men to refine the Dragon Pearl! Why don't we ask him to calculate it for us?"

Upon hearing this, Mangcang's brows furrowed into a knot, and he said with a conflicted expression: "But wouldn't that make it seem like we are incompetent? Do we have to bother his old self for such a small matter?"

Tianni nodded and said in a deep voice: "How about we first see if we can pry anything out of Ao Wushuang's mouth?"

Taichu pondered for a while and murmured: "That works too, so let's interrogate Ao Wushuang first! There is one more thing; I saw that when Ao Yin left, he took an entire family away, roots and all. What kind of family was that?"

Upon hearing this, Mangcang turned around, beckoned to Wang Wutian at the very back, and said in a stern voice: "You there, stop looking around, yes, you! Your name is Wang Wutian, right? Come here, we have something to ask you!"

Wang Wutian trembled. What could these lords standing at the pinnacle of the Emperor Alliance want with a mere newly promoted Emperor like him?

'Could it be that they discovered Lin Yi in my sleeve and want to seize his Supreme Bone and Double Pupil?'

'But if they really told me to hand Lin Yi over, I wouldn't even dare to let out a fart!'

Wang Wutian was filled with trepidation; he did not want to be a scapegoat for anyone!

"Hmm? Is your hearing bad because your cultivation is low? I told you to come here, didn't you hear me!"

Mangcang let out a sharp shout that nearly scared Wang Wutian's soul away!

With a stiff neck, Wang Wutian walked over nervously, bowed deeply with his hands cupped, and said respectfully: "Newly promoted Emperor Wang Wutian, greets the three leaders of the Emperor Alliance!"

In the entire Taixuan Realm, Wang Wutian could act with authority, but in the Emperor Alliance, in front of the three Great Emperors of Taichu, he didn't even count as a younger brother; at best, he was a nobody!

Taichu couldn't even be bothered to nod; he got straight to the point, pointed in the direction where the Lin Family Ancestral Land had disappeared, and asked: "You are from the Taixuan Realm; take a look, which family was this that was taken away, roots and all?"

Wang Wutian looked intently and knew immediately!

Not daring to hide anything, he cupped his hands and said: "Answering the Supreme Emperor Taichu, this place is the Lin Family Ancestral Land!"

The three Great Emperors of Taichu were the leaders of the Emperor Alliance, and within the alliance, they were even called Supreme Emperors, which was enough to show their prestige!

"The Lin Family?"

"The Lin Family??"

Mangcang and Tianni looked at each other, suddenly thinking of one person!

A person who, in their minds, had long since died!

Including Taichu, an inexplicable smile appeared on the faces of all three.

Looking at Wang Wutian, Mangcang asked with a playful tone: "Is it the Lin Family of Lin Potian?"

Not daring to be arrogant in the slightest, Wang Wutian hurriedly spoke: "Answering the Supreme Emperor Mangcang, it is indeed the Lin Family of the Strongest Great Emperor Lin Potian from one hundred thousand years ago!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the smiles of the three Emperors vanished instantly, and they became extremely gloomy!

Tianni lowered his voice and growled:

"Just because of him, he deserves to be the Strongest Great Emperor? Wang Wutian, if you have no discernment, then shut your dog mouth!"

Wang Wutian was stunned, cold sweat pouring down his body. He hadn't said anything wrong; Lin Potian was recognized as the Strongest Great Emperor, and his fame had not been surpassed for a full one hundred thousand years. Among all the cultivators in the entire Zhutian Wanjie with any significant cultivation, who didn't know Lin Potian?

'They are clearly three jealous people; they aren't as famous as him, so why take it out on me?!'

Wang Wutian felt extremely stifled in his heart, but on the surface, he dared not show it at all. He hurriedly knelt on one knee and kowtowed: "This subordinate has boosted others' morale and destroyed my own prestige; this subordinate deserves to die, this subordinate knows his mistake!"

"An ant dares to judge who is the strongest? Get lost!"

Taichu shouted sharply, blasting Wang Wutian away, and he fell heavily onto the deck!

Wang Wutian's face turned vicious for an instant, then he immediately hid it.

The other Emperors looked at their noses and their hearts, not even glancing at the disheveled Wang Wutian, and no one helped him up. Wang Wutian slunk into the warship.

Great Emperor Taichu looked gloomy and asked the other two Emperors, "Heh, we seem to have said we wouldn't personally take action against the Lin Family, right?"

"There is such a matter, but I didn't take a Heavenly Dao Oath. Did you?" Mangcang said with a ferocious grin.

"I didn't either!" Tianni shook his head decisively.

Great Emperor Taichu smiled and waved his hand: "What a coincidence, me neither! What is a Heavenly Dao Oath? Who among decent people would take that kind of thing?!"

"Hahaha, then what should we do about the Lin Family?"

Mangcang and Tianni wore playful expressions and smiled mockingly.

The Great Emperor Taichu heard this, his expression blank, his gaze growing increasingly icy, as he spat out word by word:

"Report directly to the Lord, find Ao Yin in the shortest time possible, seize the Hidden Dragon Disk, and then, regarding the Lin Family..."

"Exterminate the clan!!!"

"Even the ants must be crushed; leave not a single one alive!"

This time, there were no dissenting voices among the Mangcang Heaven rebels, and they agreed immediately!

Boom, boom, boom!

The three Great Emperors stood at the prow of the ship, forming seals with one hand, and with a movement of their divine sense, the warship turned and flew instantly toward the Highest Heaven of the Zhutian Wanjie!

The reason was none other than this: the Highest Heaven... had an Immortal!

At the same time, Ao Yin stopped fleeing, and after confirming that Taichu and the others had not caught up, he descended upon a desolate, ruined planet and set the Lin Family down, roots and soil intact.

"It has been a long time since I returned; I never expected home to have become like this..."

Upon arriving here, Ao Yin's mood immediately sank.

He did not know where to flee, and in his aimless flight, he had arrived at the Dragonman Ancestral Land, Dragonman Star.

This entire planet had originally contained only one race: the Dragon-man Clan!

But now, everything was gone...

"Senior, what is wrong?"

Lin Bufan gathered his courage to ask Ao Yin, who had turned his back to the Lin Family members and was trembling incessantly.

Ao Yin sighed heavily, "Young one, my name is Ao Yin. This is the ancestral land of my Dragon-man Clan. Now that it has become like this, only my father and I remain alive in this world."

Hearing this, and connecting it to the group of Great Emperors who had descended upon the Taixuan Realm earlier, Lin Bufan understood immediately, his expression turning somber.

'Senior's Dragon-man Clan must have been exterminated by that group of people. Alas! Senior has shown such great kindness to our Lin Family, yet we are unable to help with anything!'

Lin Bufan felt a thousand emotions in his heart, his fists clenched tight, feeling deeply powerless!

Their Lin Family had faced the same fate; if not for this Dragon-man Senior taking action today, the Lin Family would surely have been unable to escape destruction!

However, Ao Yin had a forthright personality; after being sad for a while, he stopped thinking about it, paced anxiously with his hands behind his back, and pondered a way to save Ao Wushuang...

A sudden inspiration struck!

"Which of you can still contact your Potian Ancestor? Contact him directly and say that Ao Yin has something to discuss!"

The expressions of the Lin Family members turned strange instantly, and a faint voice came from somewhere: "Ancestor, isn't he dead?"

"Bullshit, how could he possibly be dead!"

Ao Yin's entire body shook violently, and he stumbled back three steps, refusing to believe it at all, his eyes vacant: "Could it be that my foster father died in that God Tomb? This is impossible. If my father and I could survive being so weak, how could my foster father possibly be dead?"

The speaker had no such intention, but the listener took it to heart; Ao Yin's mention of "foster father" stirred up a massive storm!

Lin Bufan looked at Ao Yin in shock; he was actually the foster son of their own ancestor, and he had just saved the Lin Family!

"The entire Lin Family pays respects to Senior Ao Yin!"

The hundreds of thousands of Lin Family members bowed deeply to Ao Yin in unison!

Ao Yin was still in a daze, unable to say a word, standing there blankly.

Just then, Lin Yanran walked over and stopped ten paces away from Ao Yin.

Even though Ao Yin had restrained his Emperor's might to the extreme, Lin Yanran found it difficult to breathe just by walking here!

She lowered her voice and said: "Senior, let us speak aside; my family's ancestor might truly not be dead!"

Ao Yin's eyes lit up instantly, and he looked over!
