Chapter 933: Di Qi Has Gone Mad

Inside Fire Cloud Cave.

Upon learning of the matter, the Three Sovereigns were startled and hurriedly contacted Yin Qi.

Human Emperor Group.

Fuxi: Di Qi, why did you issue this announcement so abruptly? The Great Shang Celestial Dynasty is expanding wantonly, and the various parties have not moved against us only because they are wary of one another. But if you dare to intervene in the struggle for orthodoxy among All Sects, I fear you will immediately face a backlash.

Shennong: Indeed, what exactly are you thinking?

Yellow Emperor: Although I also trust you, I still hope to know the reason.

Before Di Qi, they could not put on the airs of 'seniors'; after all, apart from cultivation, they could not compare to Yin Qi in other aspects, so naturally, they had nothing to be proud of.

Moreover, they were trapped here, so even if they had the heart, they lacked the power to influence Yin Qi.

Yin Qi: Many thanks for the concern of the three Saint Emperors; issuing this announcement was a last resort. The various sects attack one another, completely disregarding the life and death of ordinary people, and turning a deaf ear to the warnings of the Imperial Court. If I do not impose restrictions now, even if I unify the Honghuang Human Race in the future, the people will still be as humble as ants.

Fuxi: It is said that beneath the Sages, all are ants; beneath the Immortals, are mortals not also ants? You must consider this carefully; if you truly intend to intervene by force, I fear you will invite a backlash from all sides.

Yin Qi: I am already prepared. Within the borders of the Great Shang Celestial Dynasty, I alone am supreme. If the orthodoxies of the various sects abide by the laws of the Imperial Court, I do not mind them preaching freely. But if they are stubborn against the laws of the Imperial Court, no matter who they are, I will break their mountain gates without exception.

According to his original plan, Yin Qi had wanted to keep a low profile for a while longer.

After all, he was still a 'mortal' with a limited lifespan, and the various forces had a high degree of tolerance for the Great Shang.

Even as the Great Shang Celestial Dynasty expanded rapidly, they did not move to intercept.

But things had reached this point, and he could no longer continue to keep a low profile.

Inside Fire Cloud Cave.

Looking at Yin Qi's murderous message, the Three Sovereigns were all shocked.

Does Di Qi already have the confidence to make the whole world his enemy?

But how is this possible?

Chen Nan is very powerful, but his combat strength is at most equivalent to a Quasi-Saint Mid-Stage.

Not to mention the Good Corpse of the Sages, even if a top-tier great supernatural being like Minghe Laozu were to strike, Chen Nan would surely die; so where does Di Qi's confidence come from?

Even if, as rumors say, Laozi stands behind the Great Shang, Laozi could not possibly fight all the Sages alone for the sake of the Great Shang.

The three of them exchanged glances and communicated quickly:

"Second Brother, Third Brother, has this Di Qi gone mad? How dare he be so arrogant?"

"Indeed, it is too arrogant. I am now starting to doubt whether the one chatting with us is truly Di Qi."

"It is very arrogant, but is Di Qi truly such an arrogant and ignorant person? Perhaps we have all underestimated Di Qi; he has always been mysterious, and it is possible he truly has some trump cards."

"Could it be that the Five Emperors have appeared?"

"That is unlikely. The Five Emperors went missing; although we do not know the specific situation, it is related to the Sages."

"Indeed, perhaps Di Qi truly has some trump cards!"

Rationally, they really could not believe Yin Qi; this was simply too insane.

But intuitively, they felt that Yin Qi would not lie.

Fuxi: Di Qi, we suspect that you may truly have a trump card to face the Sages. It is just a pity that we cannot help you, and we also hope you will think thrice before you act; you are not alone.

Yin Qi: Rest assured, three Saint Emperors, I never fight a battle I am not certain of. As for what I am relying on, perhaps you will know soon enough.

Fuxi: Good, we shall wait and see.

Shennong: We shall wait and see +1

Yellow Emperor: We shall wait and see +2

………

Just after finishing the chat with the Three Sovereigns, Nuwa sent a message over.

Nuwa: Chen Lang, what is going on? How could the Imperial Court suddenly issue such an announcement? Even if you are a Quasi-Saint, or even able to rival a Quasi-Saint Initial Stage, to forcibly intervene in the struggle for orthodoxy among All Sects like this—this is to make the whole world your enemy.

Yin Qi: Nanhu Park, let us meet and talk.

Nuwa: Good.

Nuwa put away her Mobile Phone and frowned secretly. She had stayed in Zhaoge for over ten years and had been dealing with Di Qi for over twenty years; she knew the other party was not an arrogant and ignorant person. Since he dared to issue such a tough announcement, it meant he was prepared to face the Sages.

But what was his confidence?

It could never be Chen Lang, after all, Chen Lang is only at the Quasi-Saint Initial Stage.

She recalled what he had once said: 'Feng Xi, the Human Emperor is not as simple as you imagine. No matter how much you overestimate him, in the end, you will only underestimate him.'

Perhaps, Di Qi really does have other trump cards!

It was just that she racked her brains and could not figure out what trump card Di Qi could possibly have to dare to make enemies of the Sages.

Also, why did Chen Lang invite her to meet this time?

If it were only about the announcement, could it not be fully explained on WeChat?

Although puzzled, she still hurriedly went out.

………

Shushan Sword Sect.

Within the borders of the Great Shang Celestial Dynasty, the number one sect of the Ren Sect system.

The Sect Master Yin Xi is a Registered Disciple of Laozi, with the cultivation of Golden Immortal Peak; in addition, there are four elders of Golden Immortal level, and over a hundred Sword Immortals of the Mysterious Immortal Realm, with a million disciples, possessing formidable strength.

Taiqing Hall.

Please... you... add to your collection 6... 9... book... please...!

In the main hall of the Shushan Sword Sect, Yin Xi was convening the various elders to discuss matters.

As a sect within the borders of the Great Shang Celestial Dynasty, the Imperial Court's announcement was sent directly to the Shushan Sword Sect, so Yin Xi hurriedly convened an emergency meeting to discuss how to respond.

Regarding the Imperial Court's announcement, most of the elders were both furious and disdainful.

"Arrogant! A mere Human Immortal Dynasty dares to point fingers at our Ren Sect? Has this Di Qi gone against the Heavens? That our Ren Sect has not taught him how to behave is already giving him face."

"Indeed. The Sect Master is the leader of the Human Race, and even Great Shang must submit to our Ren Sect. He dares to humiliate us like this; does he truly think my Flying Sword is not sharp?"

"Heh heh, I would like to see, if we accidentally harm some mortals, what he can possibly do to us?"

The elders were furious, feeling they had suffered a great insult.

But there were also a few elders who remained clear-headed:

"Although this announcement from Great Shang is arrogant, it must be said that they truly possess the strength. If we do not comply and the Yin Shang Imperial Court actually takes action, what then? Even if the Sect Master eventually avenges us, we would already be dead and our souls extinguished."

"Indeed, in my view, we should exercise restraint for now and see how other factions respond; let us not be the first to stick our necks out. This move by Great Shang is no different from courting their own destruction; why should we be buried along with them?"

"Exactly, exactly. We must apply the Sect Master's philosophy of 'non-action' flexibly. Non-action, yet there is nothing that cannot be done."

Sitting high on the main seat, Yin Xi frowned.

As a Registered Disciple of Laozi, he was undoubtedly arrogant and did not hold the Great Shang Heavenly Dynasty in any regard at all, let alone the announcement issued by the Yin Shang Imperial Court.

But no matter how much he looked down on the Great Shang Heavenly Dynasty, he had to admit that he was far from being a match for the Imperial Court.

Unless he sought help from the Sect Master.

This was precisely where his dilemma lay.

To seek help would make him appear incompetent.

To not seek help, if the Yin Shang Imperial Court were playing for real, then he and the Shushan Sword Sect would be in danger.

Even if Di Qi were eventually killed and Great Shang destroyed, he would already be dead and his soul extinguished, so what meaning would that have?

Just at this moment.

Yin Xi suddenly looked up and saw a Talisman Edict emerge from the void before him, emitting a hazy Immortal Light.

This Talisman Edict looked just like a Taiji symbol.

Almost simultaneously.

The great hall fell silent in an instant, and the gazes of all the elders turned toward the Talismans in the void. (End of chapter)
