Chapter 183: She Came to Kill Me

Obviously, after Xiaohei used the upgrade card Lin Yang gave him.

His strength directly broke through to the Great Emperor Realm.

This heaven‑shaking phenomenon instantly attracted the attention of Zhou Tianming on Tian Dao Peak.

He had originally been immersed in his comprehension of the Chaos Mingyang Tyrant Body Dao.

Startled by this sudden commotion, he came to his senses.

He lifted his eyes to the surging tribulation clouds in the sky, the rampant energy, Zhou Tianming blinked slightly and blurted out.

"Emperor Realm? I never expected that in this world a Great Emperor would actually be born!"

In Zhou Tianming's understanding, a Great Emperor is an existence transcending mundane things, heavily restricted by the region's space, time, and laws.

In a world like the Xuanhuang Continent, the birth of a Great Emperor can be described as extremely difficult.

But now Xiaohei has broken through to the Great Emperor Realm, causing his heart to be overwhelmed with shock.

After all, Li Senior Sister and Ye Senior Sister once said that Xiaohei was merely his master's puppet.

Even a puppet can break through to the Great Emperor Realm.

Just how powerful must the master I have sworn to be?

Thinking of this,

Zhou Tianming felt a surge of complex emotions.

He marveled at his master's unfathomable power, yet felt a sense of reassurance from having such a master.

The matter of revenge now seemed not so far out of reach.

Thinking thus, he temporarily set aside his many worries and focused on the direction of Xiaohei's breakthrough.

At the same time.

Within the Qingyun Sect.

A cry of "Report—"

It broke the tranquility of the Elder Council's meeting hall.

Grand Elder Mao Ping waved his hand, his composure calm as he said, "You don't need to report; I already know about this."

"However, since it happened on Tian Dao Peak, we need not worry."

You know, whenever something happens on Tian Dao Peak, when has it not been a joyous occasion?

Li Yilan used ten‑thousand‑li spiritual power to establish her foundation.

Ye Xiaozhi paid respects as a disciple.

The Vermilion Bird Saintess underwent her tribulation.

And so on are all joyous occasions.

This time the heavenly phenomenon arose, naturally it will definitely be a joyous occasion as well.

The person making the report, after hearing,

He respectfully replied, "Grand Elder, I understand; I was just talking too much."

Grand Elder Mao Ping smiled slightly, then announced the meeting's adjournment.

This phenomenon on Tian Dao Peak was like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, stirring up countless waves.

It quickly drew the attention of countless sect forces in Qingzhou and even Zhongzhou.

In an instant, powerful experts shot up into the sky, their discussions full of shock and doubt: "Great Emperor Realm?"

"Has someone broken through to the Great Emperor Realm here?"

"Heavens, on the Xuanhuang Continent, someone actually broke through to the Great Emperor Realm!"

"Who exactly is it, and where does he come from?"

Countless mighty beings tried to exert their full divine powers to calculate just who the breaker was.

However.

When Xiaohei broke through, the immense power he released had already completely sealed off his own aura.

No matter how those mighty beings speculated, it was all in vain.

Even the patriarchs of the Five Great Sects of Zhongzhou, aside from Jiang Tamu, were utterly clueless, having no idea who the opponent was.

Not bad, in an inn a hundred li outside Tian Dao Peak,

an old man and a youth gazed intently at the location of Tian Dao Peak.

"Master, you just said someone in the Qingyun Sect broke through to the Great Emperor Realm?" the youth asked curiously.

"Exactly." The old man gave a slight nod.

Hearing this, the youth was also startled; he had originally thought his master was joking, after all, breaking through to the Great Emperor Realm is no easy feat.

And yet, the Qingyun Sect actually has someone who broke through to the Great Emperor Realm.

He continued, "Master, according to my investigation, that Qingyun Sect is merely a modest power outside Zhongzhou; why would someone there break through to the Great Emperor Realm?"

"Could there be some accident?"

The old man shook his head and said, "There are always people beyond people, heavens beyond heavens; one cannot judge by appearances, and sects should not be underestimated."

"Some sects may seem insignificant, yet they hide immeasurably deep foundations."

The youth nodded, then slowly said, "Master, even if the Qingyun Sect has a Great Emperor expert, I still want to go see my sister."

The old man turned his head, looking at the youth with determined eyes.

"All right, since you want to go, I as your master will accompany you."

"Moreover, your sister has taken Lin Yang as her master, so we share a certain affinity; as long as we behave properly, they should not make things difficult for us."

The old man said leisurely.

"Yes, Master." The youth nodded firmly.

Hmm. The old man smiled: "Tomorrow morning we'll go to Qingyun Sect to find your younger sister, and also pay a visit to that Qingyun Sect."

As the master said. The youth replied.

At this moment, if Ye Xiaozhi were here, he would surely discover that the youth before him is none other than his brother, Ye Xiaoliu, right?

——————————

The scene returns to Heavenly Dao Peak; although Zhou Tianming has lived two lifetimes, in his previous life he was honored as a Great Emperor.

But when he witnessed the earth-shaking scene of Xiaohei's breakthrough, his heart could not help but stir with ripples.

However, this astonishment was merely fleeting.

After all, he had once stood at the pinnacle of cultivation, possessing extraordinary composure and insight into the world's many changes; he quickly regained his calm, gazing tranquilly at all of this.

And Xiaohei, after successfully breaking through to the Great Emperor realm, emanated a powerful aura that chilled the bones.

His eyes held only Lin Yang and the task Lin Yang had entrusted to him; he paid no heed to the tremendous commotion his breakthrough caused, nor to the outside world's exclamations and investigations.

He deeply understood that protecting Zhou Tianming's safety was the most important matter at hand; this responsibility he had always kept firmly in mind.

Xiaohei's gaze was like a torch; his sharp vision seemed to pierce through layers of space, landing directly on Meng Po's hiding place, and he coldly said: "Since you've come, how long do you intend to hide?"

This sudden call, like a thunderclap exploding beside Meng Po's ears.

Her heart jolted; she instantly realized she had been exposed.

Instinctively, she turned to flee this dangerous place.

But before she could take a step, a massive hand emanating tremendous power had already seized her neck, rendering her immobile.

"Oh no, not good!"

Meng Po silently cursed her misfortune; just as she was about to mobilize her spiritual power to retaliate, she discovered that her strength, before Xiaohei, was as insignificant as an ant, utterly useless.

In the blink of an eye.

When Meng Po's vision cleared again, she found herself brought by Xiaohei to Zhou Tianming's side.

Xiaohei scrutinized the unfamiliar woman before him and asked: "What are you sneaking around here for?"

Meng Po's heart tightened, but she quickly forced herself to calm, stammering: "I... I didn't do anything."

She knew full well that this person before her was a terrifying existence that had just broken through to the Great Emperor realm; even with ten times the courage, she would not dare to offend lightly.

"Is that so?" Xiaohei obviously doubted Meng Po's answer.

His thoughts were sharp; he quickly inferred that Meng Po's target was likely not himself.

In that case, it was highly probable that she was aiming for Zhou Tianming.

Thus, Xiaohei turned his head to look at Zhou Tianming and asked: "Zhou kid, do you know this person?"

From the moment Meng Po appeared, Zhou Tianming felt she was very familiar, and he had been staring intently at her.

However.

Meng Po kept her head lowered, making it difficult for him to see her face clearly.

Xiaohei, seeing this, exerted a slight force; an invisible power gently lifted Meng Po's head.

The instant Zhou Tianming saw Meng Po's face, he shouted sharply: "Uncle Xiaohei, she's come to kill me!"

Upon hearing that.

Xiaohei's surroundings instantly erupted with an aura of terrifying extremity, that of the Great Emperor's wrath.

Like a surging tsunami, like a erupting volcano.
