Chapter 1577: Encountering the Human Emperor Palace

Looking at that table full of plates as if licked by dogs, this Great Emperor assassin cried.

What about the promised victory feast? Damn, I didn't even get a bite.

Only then did he realize he was being used as a pawn by the old ancestor.

He walked out of the room listlessly, his face full of despair, but after just a few steps, the other Yongye assassins, seeing this, each came over to ask.

"How was it, did you enjoy that meal?"

"How could it not be enjoyable? Ye Zhangqing's cooking skills are beyond doubt, or rather, it's a great honor to eat together with the old ancestor."

"If I could also eat such a victory feast, I'd be content."

Everyone wore envious expressions; hearing this, the Great Emperor assassin's mouth kept twitching.

"Damn victory feast, it's fake, all of it is fake."

However, facing the hopeful companions around him, the Great Emperor assassin didn't spell it out, instead he cracked a smile, revealing an extremely unnatural grin.

"Hehe, it's quite good; keep working hard, and you'll all get to eat this victory feast someday."

"I can't be the only one suffering; you all go eat, go give it a try."

"Go experience firsthand our old ancestor's shamelessness."

Upon hearing this, several of the surrounding assassins wore looks of longing; "Ah, the victory feast—if only we could eat it."

And the Eternal Night Old Ancestor showed no restraint, each day using the pretext of celebration to have Ye Zhangqing prepare such a table for him.

As the number of victims grew, the Eternal Night Old Ancestor's actions could no longer be hidden.

"This is no victory feast; this is outright torture, damn it."

"Able to watch but not eat, suppressed by the old ancestor, unable to speak, forced to watch him eat on the side—who could endure that?"

So, after just a few days, nobody dared to attend the Eternal Night Old Ancestor's victory feast anymore.

"You did well on this mission; tonight I'll set up a feast to celebrate your success."

"Thanks, old ancestor, but no thanks—I'm not feeling hungry today."

"You don't want to eat Ye Zhangqing's food?"

"No, old ancestor, I don't want it at all."

"You completed this mission cleanly and neatly; tonight I'll hold a celebration feast for you."

"No thanks, old ancestor; I'm going into seclusion shortly."

Faced with the Eternal Night Old Ancestor's invitation, the Yongye assassins all shook their heads without hesitation to refuse.

"What victory feast? You can only look, not eat—I'd rather not see it at all."

Nobody's falling for it anymore, and as time passed, the Star Battleship drew ever closer to Haotu Shijie.

However, just as they were about to reach Haotu Shijie, that day, the Eternal Night Old Ancestor, who had been casually chatting with Ye Zhangqing,

mainly because the Eternal Night Old Ancestor still wanted to eat a meal, Ye Zhangqing said, speechless.

"Old ancestor, this is already the fifth meal today."

The Eternal Night Old Ancestor is addicted to eating, capable of putting away seven or eight meals a day, and Ye Zhangqing naturally isn't willing.

We had agreed on three meals a day, but now I just stay in the kitchen all day with nothing else to do.

Perhaps realizing he'd gone too far, the Yongye Elder gave an embarrassed laugh.

Just as he was about to say something, the next second he suddenly flashed a weird smile and said.

"Ye Zhangqing, our luck seems pretty good."

"Huh???"

Not understanding what the Eternal Night Old Ancestor meant by that, Ye Zhangqing asked dubiously.

"What do you mean, old ancestor?"

"We've encountered guests."

"Guests?"

Ye Zhangqing extended his divine sense, but found nothing; all around was the boundless Wújìn Xīnghǎi, with no other presence.

Ye Zhangqing's divine sense definitely cannot compare to that of the Eternal Night Old Ancestor at the ancestor level.

Under the Eternal Night Old Ancestor's divine sense enveloping them, not far from their Star Battleship, three Star Battleships of the Human Emperor Palace were sailing through the Wújìn Xīnghǎi.

Judging by their direction, they were likely also headed for Haotu Shijie.

Encountering them here is why the Eternal Night Old Ancestor said their luck was not bad.

If they were a bit later, letting the Human Emperor Palace's people reach Haotu Shijie first, the outcome would be hard to predict.

After all, those folks from the Human Emperor Palace show no mercy in their attacks, especially toward other Human Race factions.

Perhaps by the time they arrive, Haotu Shijie will already have been destroyed.

After telling Ye Zhangqing about the Human Emperor Palace's situation, he didn't doubt it, and the Eternal Night Old Ancestor certainly wouldn't use this to mess with him.

Indeed, their luck was not bad; they just happened to run into each other.

However, this group from the Human Emperor Palace is headed for Haotu Shijie, under the Eternal Night Old Ancestor's divine sense.

The experts the Human Emperor Palace sent this time are naturally nowhere to hide.

The Emperor Sovereign experts number exactly twelve, and beneath them there are many Great Emperor and Great Saint experts.

It seems the Human Emperor Palace is indeed up to no good.

"How about it, Ye Zhangqing, want me to step in?"

Smiling, he looked at Ye Zhangqing and said; hearing this, Ye Zhangqing knew this old thing was surely plotting something nasty.

As expected, the next second the Eternal Night Old Ancestor laid out his condition.

"I'm just a bit hungry right now."

"Old ancestor, at most five meals a day, otherwise I really can't keep up—besides the three meals, add an afternoon tea and a night snack, how about that?"

Ye Zhangqing said helplessly; hearing that, the Eternal Night Old Ancestor grinned and said.

"Deal."

Since we happened to meet by chance, we naturally cannot let those people from the Huánggōng successfully reach the Haotu Shijie.

Soon, under the Eternal Night Old Ancestor's order, the Star Battleship turned its course and headed straight for the three Star Battleships of the Huánggōng.

As the distance between them closed, the Huánggōng's Emperor Sovereign powerhouses also sensed the presence of the Yongye party.

At that moment, inside those three Huánggōng Star Battleships, the Huánggōng Emperor Sovereign powerhouses gathered together.

"A Star Battleship is approaching."

"Who is it?"

"Can't tell, and divine sense is useless."

With the Eternal Night Old Ancestor overseeing, the Huánggōng Emperor Sovereign powerhouses' divine sense naturally could not penetrate Yongye's Star Battleship.

Moreover, Yongye's Star Battleship was quite ordinary, bearing no markings of Yongye.

That's normal; a group of assassins naturally needs to keep a low profile.

Feeling something odd, the Huánggōng Emperor Sovereign powerhouses for a moment couldn't gauge their depth.

Judging by this Star Battleship's intent, it seems to have come specifically for them.

But who would be so bold as to dare oppose the Huánggōng?

Across the Zhu Tian Wan Jie, only a handful of forces can rival the Huánggōng; any other ordinary force that comes is just seeking death.

Under the speculation of the Huánggōng Emperor Sovereign powerhouses, Yongye's Star Battleship had already approached theirs and directly blocked their path.

Seeing this, the Huánggōng Emperor Sovereign powerhouses finally confirmed that this group came with ill intent.

The leading Emperor Sovereign powerhouse who had reached perfection let out a cold snort and said.

"Hmph, I'd like to see who dares to be so bold."
