Chapter 169: Meeting Emperor Hong Again

After leaving Guixu, Qi Yu disappeared and swam over the East China Sea. As the current situation in the East China Sea was extremely complicated, he did not rush to the Dragon Palace or Penglai Island. Instead, after observing for a while, he went directly to the ancestral land of the human race on the coast of the East China Sea.

As a powerful force in the East China Sea, the human race’s ancestral land is already the force least affected by the confrontation between the two major camps in the East China Sea.

Although it is also located in the East China Sea, compared to the chaos above the East China Sea and the various races in the East China Sea who are on high alert and trembling with fear, the human race has been hardly affected. The majestic holy city is still as peaceful as before, and the mortals there live and work in peace and contentment, with almost no substantial impact.

I have to say, for the East China Sea today, this is simply a miracle!

The reason for this is that, apart from the fact that the location of the East China Sea is rather delicate, the most important thing is that the human race has two major backers behind it.

That is the Human Emperor Palace and the Taoist lineage of the Xuanmen Immortals.

In fact, in the eyes of the powerful people from all sides in the East China Sea, the human race has an extraordinary foundation and its backers are extremely powerful.

This clan, in particular, were relatives of the Human Emperor Jiu Tou in the ancient times. Although many years have passed, they have regained the protection of the Human Emperor Palace because of Emperor Hong. They are considered to be the lineage of the Human Emperor officially recognized by the Heavenly Court, and can even be related to the current Queen of Heaven.

Therefore, this is not an easy target to provoke. If you confront it, it will attract the attention of the Heavenly Court, which will be bad. After all, even if the influence of the Heavenly Court is declining, not everyone is qualified to challenge its authority!
In addition, a few years ago, the famous Emperor Xishen of Xuanmen joined the human race. This emperor not only defeated Zhurong in one battle, showing his amazing strength, but also performed an extremely terrifying record in the battle of the Five Directions Taoist Palace not long after, killing several quasi-saints head-on, and shocking the world.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, no one would be willing to mess with the ancestral land of the human race for no reason, because they don’t want to confront the Xuanmen and Emperor Xichen, who are at their peak.

Even though there is chaos both inside and outside the East China Sea today, the situation remains the same.

This allows the human race to take full advantage in the current situation.

As for why Qi Yu wanted to go to the ancestral land of the human race at this moment, there are probably two reasons.

One aspect, of course, is closely related to the unification of the Human Emperor Law, which is precisely for the purpose of establishing a new immortal heaven and using the Three Emperors’ positions to support the Heavenly Emperor’s position.

In Qi Yu’s opinion, since he wanted to establish the immortal heaven and needed the throne of the emperor, he should always inform Emperor Hong no matter what. Such a matter naturally should not be conveyed by others, and Qi Yu had to make this trip in person.

By the way, Qi Yu was also going to formally grant the Di Hong family the status of the ancestor of the immortal lineage in exchange for entering the immortal path through the status of human emperor, and to lay the foundation for the subsequent establishment of the human immortal lineage.

Such a matter undoubtedly requires Qi Yu to go there in person, otherwise it will be difficult to proceed smoothly.

As for the other hand, Qi Yu wants to use the location of the human race’s ancestral land as a fulcrum to observe the current situation in the East China Sea.

You know, the East China Sea is really too chaotic nowadays. The Dragon Clan, the Xuanmen, the Demon Clan, the Monster Clan, etc. are really taking turns to appear on the stage. There are even the figures of the Witch Clan and some other hidden lineages of the gods hidden in it, making the situation very complicated.

Under such circumstances, even Qi Yu felt a headache. In addition, the contradiction between Qi Yu and Dong Wanggong had long been irreconcilable. It was not convenient for Qi Yu to go to Penglai Island at such a time. Therefore, staying out of the situation and waiting to see what happened was undoubtedly the wisest approach at the moment.

Moreover, Qi Yu’s plan actually goes beyond this. In fact, he also has some thoughts of “the mantis stalks the cicada, while the oriole waits behind”. He will take the opportunity to consume the last strength in the hands of Duke Dong, and brazenly intervene when the Chunyang lineage and Zulongting are about to decide the outcome, in order to reap the fruits of the victory.

Anyway, it is the King of the East who is in charge of Penglai personally, and his subordinates are all loyal descendants of the Chunyang lineage, with no one from other immortal lineages involved. Therefore, under such circumstances, Qi Yu does not even have to worry about unnecessary consumption by Xuanmen.

Anyway, the direct descendants of Dong Wanggong stationed in Penglai Island are already the opposition within Xuanmen, and the most stubborn one among them. It is generally recognized that they will be liquidated sooner or later.

Under such circumstances, there is absolutely no need for Qi Yu to stop. The more intense the fighting in the East China Sea, the more benefits his side can get. If they can beat Dong Wanggong directly to death, then they will not need to plot against Dong Wanggong in the future, and can directly make this Dongji Tiandi “abdicate”!

Of course, this is just a beautiful idea. Qi Yu really doesn’t think that the Demon Sect’s support for Zulongting’s little fight can directly drag a strong man of Dong Wanggong’s level to death in the East China Sea.

But, think about it, it’s nothing, what if the dream comes true?

If a person has no dreams, what is the difference between him and the Ancestral Dragon trapped in Guixu? !

……

In short, with this idea in mind, Qi Yu quickly crossed the entire East China Sea and came to the ancestral land of the human race on the coast of the East China Sea.

Now that he is the Saint Master of the Human Race, he is as respected as the Saint Emperor Di Hongshi. Therefore, the human dragon energy above the Holy City of the Human Race will naturally no longer stop Qi Yu. Soon, he came to the Palace of the Human Emperor and met with Di Hongshi not long after. Upon hearing that Saint Master Qi Yu was coming, Di Hongshi put down many of his affairs and came to the Palace of the Human Emperor to meet him.

You know, Qi Yu’s deeds of suppressing the Three Lords and then slashing the Styx not long ago were so astonishing that they spread throughout the prehistoric world almost immediately. Therefore, Emperor Hong and the human race also heard about it.

After hearing about the Saint Master’s achievements, the entire race was filled with jubilation!
For a time, Qi Yu’s reputation among the human race was extremely high. Even though he had only appeared among the human race a few times after taking over the position of Saint Master, he is still regarded as an idol by the younger generation of the human race.

The respect for Saint Master Qi Yu was even higher than that for the reigning Saint Emperor Di Hong at one point. This was totally unreasonable!

Of course, this is not the key reason why Emperor Hong is so eager to meet. The reason why he is so anxious is actually for the unification of the Human Emperor Law. Since the day when the reply letter came from Xuanmen, Emperor Hong has actually been waiting for Qi Yu to come again.

Qi Yu has just arrived, which is much later than what Emperor Hong originally expected!
Soon, Emperor Hong, who had hurried over, greeted Qi Yu. The two sat opposite each other in the Human Emperor Palace. After sending away the attendants, they lifted the ban in the palace and began to talk about business.

“Saint Master, you have made me wait for so long.”

“I originally thought that after the Saint Master had discussed and reached an agreement with the three Kunlun Heavenly Lords, he would return to the ancestral land to meet with me. However, I did not want to hear any more news about the Saint Master. The Saint Master had already seized a Taoist palace and was promoted to a Divine Lord.”

Hearing Di Hong calling him “Holy Master” all the time and being complained by him, Qi Yu was stunned at first, and then he couldn’t help feeling a little embarrassed.

Because what Emperor Hong said was actually correct. At the beginning, he should have made a special trip back to the ancestral land of the human race. After all, the Three Emperors’ lineage was of great importance, and the Human Emperor’s lineage entering the Xuanmen was like directly digging up the foundation of the Gods. It was not reasonable for him to leave such matters to his confidants.

The reason for this was that Qi Yu had discussed Taoism with the Three Pure Ones at the time and gained a lot, so much so that he forgot himself for a moment, which somewhat delayed his business.

In this regard, Qi Yu could only smile bitterly and then said.

“Fellow Daoist, I was negligent in this matter and made you wait for so long. I really deserve to be punished.”

“How about this, I will use tea instead of wine to offer you a cup first, as an apology. I hope you will not blame me anymore.”

As he spoke, Qi Yu raised the cup of spiritual tea in front of him and drank it all in one gulp.

As for why Qi Yu was so polite at this moment, on the one hand, he was indeed feeling a little embarrassed and ashamed, and on the other hand, he also hoped that things would go more smoothly when talking about business later.

Seeing this, Di Hong was naturally pleased. Of course, he did not dare to ask Qi Yu to toast and apologize. After all, the gap between the two sides was not small. He immediately raised his glass and drank with Qi Yu, which also brought this matter to an end.

After a cup of spiritual tea, the atmosphere between the two became obviously more harmonious. Qi Yu immediately took the lead in mentioning the main business of the time.

“Fellow Daoist Di Hong, I came here for two reasons: first, to understand the current situation in the East China Sea, and second, to discuss something with you.”

“And this one, fellow Daoist, should also be clear, is related to the current confrontation in the East China Sea.”

“I think fellow Daoist has also heard that the Dragon Clan has recently declared war on my Xuan Sect. As a result, both sides are now mobilizing their troops above the East China Sea. In my Dongji Ancestral Temple, the Emperor Chunyang has personally led a large army here to confront the Dragon Clan in Penglai.”

“This matter was decided by the Chunyang Emperor. It should have been decided long ago, so I don’t have to go through all this trouble.”

“However, this emperor has always been a little unstable. He has always been domineering and self-willed. Therefore, I have to keep an eye on him in person to prevent any mistakes.”

Having said this, Qi Yu paused for a moment before continuing.

“If it were common sense, I should have gone to Penglai Island for this matter and stayed in the Nine Heavens True King Palace with Emperor Chunyang.”

“It’s a pity that this emperor and I have always had some misunderstandings, and we can’t really say we are friendly with each other. Therefore, during this period of time, I have to stay in the ancestral land temporarily to observe how the situation changes. I may disturb you during this period, so I hope you won’t mind.”

At this point, Qi Yu smiled apologetically at Di Hong, as if he really felt that he had disturbed Di Hong this time. His acting was all skill, without any emotion at all, which made the Human Saint Emperor feel speechless for a moment.

There will be another chapter later. I have been a little busy during the past two days, so the update may be a little late. If it is not enough, I will stay up late to finish it. Please forgive me.
