Emperor Shihen looked at Elder Yi with an unpleasant expression, feeling displeased that Elder Yi dared to disobey his orders.
It should be known that Elder Yi was a master sent by his father to protect him, and logically, he should completely follow his commands. However, Elder Yi’s actions now made Emperor Shihen's face quite grim.
“What do you mean, Elder Yi?” Emperor Shihen asked, his expression dark.
Sensing Emperor Shihen's displeasure, Elder Yi hurriedly bowed and explained, “Lord Emperor, it’s not that I don't stop him, but rather that I have learned some information regarding this person.”
“Oh?”
Emperor Shihen turned to look, clearly wanting to hear Elder Yi’s explanation. Elder Yi continued, “This person has a mysterious background; he is not from the Sikong Sacred Ground but recently met with Lady Sikong on Skyreach Peak. His actions are quite arrogant, but it is certain that he was initially not familiar with Lady Sikong. However, for some unknown reason, Lady Sikong treats him with great respect.”
“Lady Sikong is not familiar with him?” Emperor Shihen's face displayed confusion.
Could someone she does not know command such respect from Lady Sikong?
“Yes, that’s one thing. Furthermore, the Qilin Crown Prince angered this person on Skyreach Peak and was directly killed by him there,” Elder Yi continued.
Emperor Shihen's gaze sharpened.
This person actually killed the Qilin Crown Prince? What he said before wasn’t just boasting?
Emperor Shihen felt a bit shaken. Yet, what surprised him even more was Lady Sikong's actions. He frowned and asked Elder Yi, “As far as I know, the Qilin Divine Kingdom is a subordinate force of the Sikong Sacred Ground. The ancestor of the Qilin Divine Kingdom even intended to have the Qilin Crown Prince marry into the Sikong Sacred Ground. At that time, the ancestor of the Sikong Sacred Ground had some changes in response. Lady Sikong was present, did she just watch as the Qilin Crown Prince was killed?”
Elder Yi smiled bitterly, “The information I received confirms this; when this person killed the Qilin Crown Prince, Lady Sikong did not intervene.”
“Oh?” Emperor Shihen's gaze narrowed, and he coldly snorted, “Hmph, so what? Killing the Qilin Crown Prince allows him to be disrespectful to me?”
“Of course not. The reason I stopped you, Lord Emperor, is because of another reason.”
“What is it?”
“When this person killed the Qilin Crown Prince, the Qilin Divine Symbol on the Crown Prince was activated, and a thought projection of the Qilin Supreme descended upon Skyreach Peak.”
“A thought projection of the Qilin Supreme descended?”
Emperor Shihen's expression changed.
Although the Shihen Imperial Sect had no fear of the Qilin Divine Kingdom, and they had several supreme warriors, no matter what, the Qilin Supreme, who established a supreme divine kingdom, was indeed extremely terrifying.
“The thought projection of the Qilin Supreme couldn’t stop him from killing the Qilin Crown Prince? Does this person possess any treasures that can obstruct the thought projection of the Qilin Supreme?”
Emperor Shihen spoke in a deep voice.
“No.”
“Then what is it?”
“This person did not use any treasures and directly annihilated the thought projection of the Qilin Supreme.”
Emperor Shihen suddenly turned around, shocked, and gasped, “Are you serious?”
Though it was merely a thought projection of the Qilin Supreme, it was still a supreme warrior’s manifestation—definitely not to be underestimated.
“I have carefully investigated; it is not false,” Elder Yi spoke solemnly.
Emperor Shihen's expression changed repeatedly. Finally, he suddenly sneered. “He destroyed a thought projection of the Qilin Supreme? No wonder he has such audacity. But so what? This place is quite far from the Dark Continent and located within the universe. The power of the Qilin Supreme cannot reach here; a thought projection's power is at most half-step supreme level. Being destroyed is normal.”
