Chapter 1781

Little Jianmu.

A strong enemy has appeared.

"It's the Undefeated Yao Emperor!"

Fei Lian immediately recognized the newcomer's identity.

Within the Myriad Phenomena Forest there are three Yao Emperors; aside from Xuan Die, the other two are the Undefeated Yao Emperor, who comes from the Xuan Wu bloodline, and the Zi Yi Yao Emperor, who comes from the Nine-Headed Snake.

Both of them are stronger than Xuan Die, but not as terrifying as the Holy Ape Yao Emperor.

Sensing this aura, Xiao Feng immediately rose and left the hall.

Outside the hall, in the high air at the height of Little Jianmu's treetop, a middle-aged man in black robes stood in the air, riding the wind.

Beside him were six attendants, each possessing the strength of a Yao Saint at the Ancestral God Realm, both male and female, forming an extraordinary formation.

Cai Yi, Fei Lian, Chan Xia, and Qiao Yue, four Yao Saints who followed Xuan Die, also came outside together with Xiao Feng.

The God King‑level female yao fell back, not daring to get too close.

"Undefeated Yao Emperor, you came really fast—do you think that now that Her Majesty the Empress is gone, we're easy to bully?" Cai Yi said coldly, with a hint of anger.

While Xuan Die was still around, the Undefeated Yao Emperor and the Zi Yi Yao Emperor were always polite; although they were slightly stronger, they kept ingratiating themselves with Xuan Die because of the Holy Ape Yao Emperor, addressing each other as brothers and sisters.

But now, before Xuan Die's corpse has even grown cold, he has come to seize people and take over territory.

In the face of profit, any friendship is worthless!

The Undefeated Yao Emperor smiled faintly and said, "Cai Yi, you shouldn't speak like that. I have come here to provide you with shelter. Xuan Die is gone, the Holy Ape Yao Emperor ignores worldly affairs, and without the protection of a Venerable, how can you stand firm in the Myriad Heavens Battlefield? Follow me, and the venerables of all clans will still give you some face; wherever you go you'll be safe, and no one will dare to attack you."

Those words sound nice, but they are actually a pure threat.

If you refuse to submit, he will likely be the first to strike!

When they kill fellow clansmen, they don't drop a lot of loot like players do, but at least some of their personal treasures and the Ancestral God Heart will surely drop, which is also a great gain!

"What if we refuse?" Fei Lian said with a cold snort.

This Yao Saint, who excels at alchemy, is not someone to provoke; even among Ancestral God Realm beings she is extremely strong, possessing a myriad of strange elixirs that can greatly boost her combat power, making opponents of the same rank hard to deal with.

But in the face of the Undefeated Yao Emperor, she is still not enough.

A close aide of the Undefeated Yao Emperor on his left, the Yao Saint named Po Yuan, smiled and said, "Fei Lian sister, when speaking to the Yao Emperor you should keep your tone gentle; we are all yao, and we don't want to make an ugly scene. His Majesty Xuan Die has fallen, and you cannot guard all these treasures; submit to our Majesty, and he will redistribute some of what originally belonged to you. Otherwise, if the Zi Yi Yao Emperor or another powerful figure arrives, they may not be so easy to talk to."

Even bandits have to justify their robbery with noble‑sounding words.

Fei Lian and the others were quite angry.

At that moment, a voice suddenly rang out.

"I heard from afar that someone was speaking ill of me, Undefeated Brother—is this how you discipline your subordinates?"

That voice was alluring and seductive, making hearts sway.

Looking closely, I saw a woman wearing five‑colored Cai Yi robes flying in from the southwest, accompanied by five Yao Saints, her aura also impressive.

Xiao Feng glanced over and saw that the Undefeated Yao Emperor was level 2530 and the Zi Yi Yao Emperor level 2490; indeed, both were considerably stronger than Xuan Die.

When the Zi Yi Yao Emperor arrived, the Undefeated Yao Emperor smiled and replied, "It's not really bad news; little sister, you are indeed quite fierce toward your enemies."

The two great Yao Emperors exchanged a glance, shared a look, and experienced no friction—only peace.

Obviously, they intend to share the benefits of Little Jianmu and do not wish to fight each other.

The Zi Yi Yao Emperor giggled and said, "That's true, but that applies to enemies. If Cai Yi and Chan Xia are willing to submit to me, we'll all be on the same side—there's no need to put on a fierce face and fight."

She directly named Cai Yi and Chan Xia as her targets; the others could follow as they wished—those who obey would be taken along, while those who refuse must either submit to the Undefeated Yao Emperor or die.

Chan Xia gave a bitter smile and said, "No wonder the yao clan is the weakest of the eight great peoples; even as Venerables you still fight among yourselves, so the yao may never have a chance to rise."

The Undefeated Yao Emperor and the Zi Yi Yao Emperor were laughing, completely unbothered by those remarks.

In fact, the yao are not actually a single clan but a cultivation system.

They can also be Wild Beast Clan or Ghost Fish Clan; it doesn't matter as long as they are strong.

Po Yuan the Yao Saint urged, "Enough of this useless talk—make a decision quickly; we don't want to create more killing karma."

The yao cultivators at the Butterfly Emperor Palace had solemn expressions.

"Xiao Feng..."

Cai Yi glanced at the sole human male present.

At this point, the only one who could help them was Xiao Feng.

Before the two great Yao Emperors, those few of them had no ability to resist.

Xiao Feng stepped forward a few paces, positioning himself between the forces of the two great Yao Emperors.

He was in a bad mood and spoke less politely than usual: "I'll give you the same words—I also don't want to create more killing karma."

"Huh?"

"This kid..."

The two Yao Emperors and the eleven Ancestral Gods stared at him with unfriendly eyes.

Especially those Ancestral Gods, who didn't know Xiao Feng's depth, had only heard he was strong but not how strong; on the spot they wanted to give him a taste of their power.

Po Yuan let out a cold snort: "Insolent!" and slapped him with a palm from afar.

"Po Yuan, no!"

The Undefeated Yao Emperor tried to stop him, but was a step too late.

A faint illusion of a small tree appeared over Xiao Feng's body, enveloping him.

Po Yuan's casual Ancestral God‑level strike hit it, but produced no noticeable destructive effect.

Against a top‑tier Venerable, this defense of Xiao Feng's is of little use; yet for a mere Ancestral God to think he could wound him is rather fanciful.

A -80,000,000 damage appeared above his head, but it instantly recovered.

Xiao Feng said nothing, clenched his hand in the void, and a Dao Mark Scar condensed and shot toward Po Yuan.

Get out of the way!

The Undefeated Yao Emperor frowned deeply, instantly pushing back all his subordinates as layers of defensive supreme treasure and defensive secret art appeared on his body.

The damage from a single Dao Mark Scar is nowhere near as exaggerated as that of the Heart Sword; when encountering experts of the level of the Tian Kong Lord or the Lord of Life, its effect is quite limited.

But the Undefeated Yao Emperor is only over level 2500, so it's not something he can easily withstand.

Boom—

A huge sound, a terrifying storm swept the surroundings.

The Dao Mark Scar couldn't shatter the void, but the terrifying shockwave instantly blasted the Six Yao Saints flying, each one vomiting blood profusely.

Bearing the brunt, the Undefeated Yao Emperor saw his layers of body-protecting secret art and defensive supreme treasure shattered and repelled, vanished; his true form suffered a violent impact, sustaining serious injury.

Fortunately, he possesses a Black Tortoise bloodline, his true form being a giant Black Tortoise with extraordinarily strong defenses, which prevented him from being seriously injured.
