Chapter 1329: Emperor Sovereign War

Viper without a word directly beheaded that old man; with a muffled boom, the old man's corpse fiercely fell from the sky to the ground.

That muffled boom was like a heavy drumbeat, heavily striking everyone's hearts.

Looking at the Viper in the sky, everyone turned pale, eyes full of fear.

And at this moment, the Viper, looking down at the city full of people, also had a headache.

He didn't know Ye Zhangqing and the others' changed appearance and identity—what to do with so many people?

"Those who entered the city within the previous half Shíchén, step forward."

After thinking, the Viper said in a low voice.

But after his words fell, everyone in the city was scared stupid; actually no one spoke.

No one knew what the Viper wanted to do; facing the unknown situation, who would dare step forward voluntarily at this time?

That's basically seeking death—if one steps forward, the next second they'd be directly beheaded by the Viper—what to do?

Ye Zhangqing and the four also mixed in the crowd, feigning terror, motionless.

Seeing that, the Viper's brows furrowed tightly.

His hands were itchy, wanting to kill someone—how to handle it? He was already burning with anger, yet now not a single person in the city responded to his words, truly seeking death.

He wished he could smash with a palm and flatten the city below, but he cannot.

By then, killing Ye Zhangqing together—what to do?

But with so many people, checking identities one by one—who knows how long it will take.

For a moment, the Viper found himself in a dilemma—this is basically making things difficult for people.

His divine sense had already enveloped the entire city; originally he hoped to use divine sense to locate Ye Zhangqing and see through their disguise technique.

But after several scans, the Viper discovered that Ye Zhangqing and the others' disguise technique was of high grade; relying on divine sense could not detect it at all.

This made the Viper's mood ever worse.

Divine sense not working, then we can only search one by one—but this time...............

"No one stepping forward? Do you all want to die?"

The anger in his eyes grew more intense, his aura rose again.

But the more the Viper acted this way, the less the city's people dared to move—this clearly meant killing people; how could anyone voluntarily step forward now?

"Yourselves point out, who among your neighbors entered the city within the last half Shíchén; dare to conceal, death."

Seeing that, the Viper said again.

But the response remained boundless silence; everyone kept their heads lowered, faces showing fear, not daring to speak.

As for pointing out who, that's even more—let alone they themselves don't know; after all, so many people entered the city, nobody knows each other, how would I know who entered when?

Even if they knew, they wouldn't dare to speak nonsense now.

Seeing that, the Viper gritted his teeth in anger, yet he still couldn't act.

Watching the Viper furious yet not acting, many in the city also guessed something.

Everyone's not foolish; if an Emperor Sovereign Realm powerhouse truly wanted to act, they'd probably all be dead already.

Slaughtering a city's people, for an Emperor Sovereign Realm existence, there's basically no pressure, let alone the Viper being a Space Pirate—even less burden.

Not acting for a long time indicates the Viper has a reason he cannot act; combined with his earlier words, this is him looking for someone?

Thus he dares not act rashly, fearing to mistakenly kill the person he's seeking.

Upon realizing this, many people's hearts relaxed a little.

Having some restraint is fine; just fear the Viper goes mad, unrestrained, directly slaughtering the city—that would be an unjust disaster, wasting lives for nothing.

Thus both sides waited like that; at this moment, Lie Xue, who was a step behind the Viper, also arrived.

He didn't bother to use the secret technique, so his speed was a bit slower than the Viper's.

All the way chasing to Bai Song Gu, seeing the city's grand formation broken by the Viper, Lie Xue frowned and stepped forward to ask.

"How is it now?"

"That brat fled into the city; I cannot confirm his identity."

Upon hearing, the Viper spoke truthfully; Lie Xue also frowned, then what now?

Looking down at so many people, Lie Xue felt his scalp go numb.

What to do with so many people? The crucial point is, Bai Song Gu won't give them much time.

That woman is probably already on her way over by now.

After a moment of silence, Lie Xue spoke in a low voice.

"First, take them all back?"

"Good."

This is currently the best option; the Viper nodded without much thought.

Just saying that, Lie Xue actually had no confidence in his heart; he didn't know if there was still time.

"Everyone, return to the Blood King Palace territory; whoever dares to run will die."

The Viper said coldly.

Upon hearing, the spirit chef in the crowd fearfully sent a mental transmission to Ye Zhangqing.

"Ye Boss, what now? If we go back, we'll definitely be exposed."

That spirit chef was utterly terrified; Ye Zhangqing's heart also had no bottom at this moment.

Naturally knowing they cannot go back, but now they cannot run either.

Lie Xue's suggestion also had another motive: to use pressure to make Ye Zhangqing and them disorder their formation.

With so many people, it's truly hard to instantly locate Ye Zhangqing and the few; but if they now choose to flee regardless, then instantly we could confirm suspicion and capture them easily.

This is Lie Xue's plot; therefore he slightly frowned, Ye Zhangqing still decided not to run.

"Don't move recklessly, follow everyone."

They are determined to blend into the crowd, while others act as the situation demands.

Ye Zhangqing and the others held their breath, while Lie Xue's divine sense hovered over everyone in the city from above. Seeing that no one had fled, he sighed helplessly.

Still not taking the bait?

If Ye Zhangqing and the others panicked and chose to flee at random right now, that would play right into Lie Xue's hands.

But now it seems they haven't taken the bait, which is troublesome.

Viper urged everyone to leave the city and return to the Blood King Palace's territory, pressing for haste.

Though the city's residents walked outward, fearing Viper's might, they went unwillingly and slowly, dragging out every moment they could.

Seeing this, Viper gritted his teeth in anger and issued various threats, yet he never dared to actually kill anyone from start to finish.

With so many people, who knows who Ye Zhangqing is; if he accidentally draws attention, he'd have nowhere to hide.

Viper wants Ye Zhangqing alive, not dead.

After going back and forth, time ticked by second by second; fewer than one-tenth of the people had managed to leave the city.

Just then, a rift split open in space, and a woman in a white long dress stepped out, emanating the aura of the Emperor Sovereign Realm.

Her icy gaze fixed on Viper and Lie Xue, the white-clad woman spoke in a cold voice.

"Lie Xue, Viper, in this Heaven Martial Realm it's not yet your turn to act lawlessly and recklessly."

Seeing the white-clad woman appear, Lie Xue and Viper both darkened in expression, still unable to catch up.
