Chapter 208: Come Over Here and Kowtow to Your Father!

"Boom!"

A mass of black mist instantly surged across the entire street, gradually taking on a human form, and headed straight for the clouds.

Before the crowd could even clearly see the appearance of the soul, they suddenly heard a "clank" of metal chains. The soul had only flown a few meters before being locked by a rust-covered iron chain, which yanked it to a dead stop.

"Roar!"

The soul threw its head back and let out a roar, its face ferocious.

But at this moment, everyone in the audience was dumbfounded, their eyes wide with disbelief!

"The Late Emperor, this... is this His Majesty the Late Emperor?"

"How is this possible?"

"My god, didn't the Late Emperor pass away in the Imperial Mausoleum?"

"No, this is a soul, the Late Emperor's soul!"

"Could it be that the Late Emperor didn't pass away, and his soul is still alive!"

All the Imperial Guards exclaimed, their faces full of horror. They had all seen portraits of past emperors in the palace and were very familiar with them. Now that they saw this, they were instantly stunned.

In this world, there was no such thing as ghosts; there were only souls and physical bodies.

For a cultivator, it didn't matter if the physical body died; as long as the soul remained, there was still a chance to possess another body and be reborn.

But everyone was puzzled. The Late Emperor had passed away only after his lifespan was exhausted. In such a situation, the soul and body coexist and perish together. Why would the Late Emperor appear?

The Fire Emperor was also dumbfounded, nearly kneeling on the spot to shout "Father Emperor!"

He saw it very clearly; this soul was definitely his father, the biological kind.

The Empress was also somewhat stunned, looking at the soul in disbelief. The legendary Late Emperor of the Fire Yuan Kingdom was a powerful and ruthless man!

"Clank!"

At this moment, the soul of the Fire Yuan Kingdom's Late Emperor rushed toward the clouds again, but it was still firmly locked by the rust-covered iron chain, unable to move forward even half an inch!

Only then did the crowd realize that this Late Emperor's soul had actually been tied up by someone!

The entire scene fell silent once again!

Everyone's gaze turned toward Xu Que.

That rust-covered iron chain was extending from the Soul-Locking Tower in Xu Que's hand.

The iron chain was extremely ancient, emitting an icy aura. When the crowd looked at it for a moment, they couldn't help but tremble, and their own souls felt a sense of fear!

"Presumptuous! You bold thief, how dare you be disrespectful to the Late Emperor! Pay with your life!"

The Fire Emperor was furious on the spot. Whether out of respect for his father or for the sake of his own face, he had to be angry and had to strike!

"Boom—"

A massive dragon flame exploded in the clouds, turning into a golden sea of fire that covered a large area of the sky and headed straight for Xu Que.

"Yo, you dog emperor, you've forgotten the pain once the wound has healed, haven't you?"

Xu Que sneered, clenched his hand into a fist, suddenly leaped into the air, rushed toward the golden sea of fire, and threw a punch!

At this moment, the entire void actually appeared to distort.

"Boom!"

Accompanied by a muffled sound, the vast golden sea of fire was instantly shattered, exploding into wisps of small flames that dissipated in the air.

Everyone in the audience instantly opened their mouths wide, terrified.

One punch... he shattered the Fire Emperor's dragon flame with one punch?

Heavens, who is this person? His physical body is actually this strong!

"Whoosh!"

Xu Que stepped lightly through the void and instantly arrived in front of the Fire Emperor. The Soul-Locking Tower in his hand was still holding the Late Emperor's soul, and he sneered repeatedly: "Dog emperor, I brought your father out to meet you, and not only are you not grateful, but you're attacking me? You really are heartless and ungrateful!"

"It's you?" The Fire Emperor suddenly realized something, his expression changed instantly, and he took a big step back.

He recognized Xu Que; this voice and aura finally brought him back to his senses.

Xu Que also took off the human skin mask on his face. There was really no need to disguise himself at a time like this because the opportunity to act cool had arrived!

"Swish!"

The mask was torn off, and his handsome, refined face finally appeared before everyone.

All the Imperial Guards were moved, filled with horror!

"The former Prince Consort, Xu Que!"

"My god, why is he here again?"

"Is he really going to fight the Fire Emperor to the death? And how did he sneak in among us?"

"Damn, there's a traitor among us, and no one noticed?"

"Quick, protect the Fire Emperor and save the Late Emperor's soul!"

These Imperial Guards were all the Fire Emperor's most loyal guards. In this difficult moment, they finally disregarded their own lives, leaped into the air one after another, and surrounded Xu Que.

The calm-as-water Empress was also stunned, completely dumbfounded.

No matter how she thought about it, she could never have imagined that Hua Wuque and Xu Que were actually the same person!

Oh my god!

"This... how is this boy so good at playing games? He even fooled me!"

The Empress was horrified, but she was even more shocked by Xu Que's strength, which was countless times stronger than when she last saw him in the Spirit Domain Tower!

And this kind of strength even made her feel wary!

"Dog emperor, why don't you hurry over and kowtow to your father?" Xu Que tugged at the iron chain on the Soul-Locking Tower, dragging the Late Emperor's soul.

The Fire Emperor had already retreated a thousand meters away, his gaze also suddenly looking at the Late Emperor's soul.

However, the Late Emperor's soul was like a mindless, wandering ghost, its face ferocious, constantly struggling, trying to escape the shackles of the iron chain.

Only then did the crowd notice something wrong. Why was the Late Emperor's soul so strange?

The Fire Emperor also frowned, his eyes full of suspicion.

He was certain that this was his father's soul, but this soul was too strange; it had completely lost its intelligence, possessing only the form, and was no longer the father emperor he revered.

Thinking of this, the Fire Emperor felt a sense of relief in his heart.

In fact, he didn't want his father to be truly alive. He had already grown accustomed to sitting on this throne, and he didn't want to become someone under one person but above ten thousand at a time like this.

"What a thief, how dare you forge the Late Emperor's soul and spread rumors here to confuse the public! I won't fall for your trick! I let you escape last time, but this time, you definitely won't escape!" With one sentence, the Fire Emperor directly labeled the Late Emperor's soul as fake.

Because only in this way could he safely strike hard, not be threatened by Xu Que, and the people of the world wouldn't accuse him of disregarding the safety of the Late Emperor's soul!

However, the Fire Emperor had miscalculated after all!

Xu Que seemed to have expected him to say this long ago. He gave a grin, pointed two fingers, and aimed at the Soul-Locking Tower in his hand.

"Whoosh!"

Accompanied by a wisp of light, another black soul darted out, but it was tightly locked by another iron chain, yet the terrifying pressure still permeated the entire scene.

Xu Que said indifferently: "You really are heartless and ungrateful, actually saying your father is fake. Fine, take another look. Your grandfather couldn't possibly be fake too, right?"

"Hiss."

Everyone in the audience instantly gasped, staring dumbfoundedly at the newly emerged soul, terrified once again.

The Fire Emperor's grandfather, that was the Fire Emperor from two generations ago!

How did he run out too?

The Fire Emperor was also instantly moved, in disbelief, his face full of horror.

The Empress also opened her small mouth slightly, very surprised.

At this moment, Xu Que swept his fingertips across the Soul-Locking Tower again.

"Whoosh!"

The third soul suddenly rushed out!

Xu Que was all smiles: "Dog emperor, look quickly, your great-grandfather is here too. Take a look and see if he's real or fake? Hurry up, your father, your grandfather, your great-grandfather... are all waiting for you to kowtow to them!" ===== CHAPTER 209 =====
