Chapter 208: Imperial Decree Twenty-Four (Do not use special gifts +1)

Zhou Hanchan was severely injured by Nangong Yunshu's sword!
"Attack together! Kill the witch first, then settle things!"
Some people's gazes turned to Wang Yunfei.
Clearly, they didn't want him to continue causing trouble.
If the witch escaped, they would have no hope of becoming emperors... because the witch was only one step away from her final leap!
The group joined forces to attack Zhou Hanchan. Having been severely injured by Nangong Yunshu's sudden sword strike, and now surrounded by the others, she had no chance to recover.
This time, Su Chen didn't stand idly by. He joined the battle, unleashing his flying immortal power and divine abilities to seal off Zhou Hanchan's escape route.
Zhou Hanchan was severely injured; her demonic embryo shattered, and irreparable Dao wounds appeared on her body. Like a trapped beast, she ultimately couldn't take that final step. She couldn't possibly be a match for so many supreme experts. This battle was shocking, even more terrifying than some of the Dark Turmoil of the past!
Zhou Hanchan's eyes suddenly flashed, unleashing a terrifying aura. With all her might, she unleashed another killing move, forcing back the crowd, creating a gap, and fleeing towards the edge of the Ancient Emperor Realm. She vanished in a flash, already gone!
No one had any intention of giving chase.
Leaving the Ancient Emperor Realm meant giving up its opportunities...was that even possible?
"You deliberately let such a terrifying individual escape!"
Su Chen directly looked at the Qilin True Lord beside him and questioned him.
Everyone's gaze turned to the Qilin True Lord.
The Qilin True Lord's expression changed drastically. He knew that if he didn't give an explanation, he would be the next one to be surrounded and killed.
The Qilin True Lord roared, "Ye Chen, stop slandering me!"
"How could I let the witch escape?"
Su Chen coldly replied, "First of all, you're not human!"
"Secondly, the witch escaped from you. If you had chosen to withstand her killing move and stall for a moment, she wouldn't have been able to escape! But you chose to avoid the fight, giving the witch an opportunity!"
Upon hearing this, the Qilin True Lord couldn't refute the first statement, but the second made his face turn extremely ugly. If he had chosen to take that attack head-on, even if he didn't die, he would be seriously injured. Su Chen spoke so casually; if he had actually blocked that attack, even if he survived, he would be severely injured, and after dealing with the witch, he would likely be next!
Numerous beings surrounded the Qilin True Lord, blocking all his escape routes.
The Qilin True Lord realized that the Ye family brat was simply using this opportunity to retaliate against him!
"Qilin, you'd better give an explanation. You should know the consequences of letting the witch go."
"If you don't have a reasonable explanation today, you can stay here in the witch's place!"
A chilling aura locked onto the Qilin True Lord.
The Qilin True Lord said, "Don't threaten me. Even if you want to kill me, fight with all your might. Even if I can't kill one of you, I will severely injure one of you, severing your path!"
The Qilin True Lord's words were true.
His strength was inferior to the witch's, but he was not easy to subdue. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to escape safely from Nangong Yunshu.
A desperate battle, even if he couldn't take one away, he could severely injure one!
However, the many beings did not allow the Qilin True Lord to leave.
This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
To weaken the Qilin True Lord's strength.
Su Chen said, "Regardless, it was you who let the witch go!"
The Qilin True Lord's face was extremely ugly. He cursed Di Shitian inwardly for being a waste, failing to take the Ye family's imperial son with him even in his dying moments.
"What exactly do you want?"
The Qilin True Lord didn't want to push the crowd too far. Otherwise, if someone fearless led a charge against him, he might really die.
He didn't want to die.
Su Chen continued, "Hand over all your belongings. That'll be enough to give everyone an explanation!"
The Qilin True Lord's expression changed several times. Facing the numerous beings of the same level closing in, he knew he couldn't leave safely without paying a price. He immediately threw out a large pile of items, radiating an aura of immortality.
The numerous quasi-emperors surrounding the Qilin True Lord scrambled for the divine items, opening a passage. The Qilin True Lord didn't hesitate and left immediately.
No one chased after him.
After distributing the Qilin True Lord's opportunities and fortunes, the numerous quasi-emperors looked at Su Chen with strange eyes.
This guy really holds a grudge!
However, having benefited, they said nothing and departed to seek their own opportunities.
Su Chen looked in the direction Zhou Hanchan had left.
That's right... letting Zhou Hanchan leave wasn't the Qilin True Lord's idea, but Su Chen's doing. He secretly guided Zhou Hanchan, secretly cooperating with her to interfere with the Qilin True Lord, using the opportunity to escape. Although there was also an intention to retaliate against the Qilin True Lord, Su Chen wasn't such a petty person.
He needed someone to draw attention!
Zhou Hanchan had the highest cultivation level and was closest to the final step, making her the perfect choice.
However... Zhou Hanchan couldn't become an Emperor in a short time. Her injuries were too severe. Her ultimate demonic embryo was shattered, and her own Great Dao was torn to pieces by everyone. To recover, it would take at least thousands or even tens of thousands of years... There was also a possibility that her injuries would be too severe and she would die. But since no one had witnessed Zhou Hanchan's death, she wouldn't die!
After all, with the Demon Lord of Slaughter preceding him, if the Emperor of Ten Thousand Saints hadn't survived, the Demon Lord of Slaughter would have attained enlightenment, surpassing everyone else!
Su Chen continued searching for opportunities in the Ancient Emperor Realm... until a thousand years later, when the Ancient Emperor Realm closed, and all beings withdrew. They knew this was the limit for the current Great Emperor... that Great Emperor was dying... once that Great Emperor's Dao dissipated, new beings would be able to attain enlightenment!
As the Great Emperor's aura gradually dissipated, the Emperor's Path withered. Many beings could return to their respective forces from the Emperor's Path, while Su Chen left the Hall of Myriad Laws on the Emperor's Path. Even with the Emperor's Path withering, there were still countless opportunities, attracting countless martial artists!
The Hall of Myriad Laws was overseen by Ji Changkong.
Su Chen returned to the Ye family with the Holy Maiden of Yaochi, Ye Da, Ye San, and other followers. Thousands of years had passed, and the Ye family had changed drastically. Many familiar faces had become tombstones; things had changed beyond recognition. The Ye family members gazed at the supreme figure seated atop the black dragon's head, their faces filled with reverence. He was the legend of the Ye family, the Ye family's imperial son, the Ye family's myth. Countless Ye family members had grown up listening to the legendary experiences of the Ye family's imperial son on his path to becoming emperor. In some ways, Su Chen's prestige within the Ye family in this life even surpassed that of the Ye family's Great Emperor.
After all… Su Chen was alive!
Su Chen returned to the Ye family and saw Ye Liuli. Ye Liuli's face showed signs of age, but she hadn't changed much; she was still radiant and beautiful, standing atop the mountain in her green dress, looking at Su Chen.
"I never imagined that little one from back then would grow up so much in the blink of an eye."
Ye Liuli gestured with her hands, her smile radiant, dispelling the sadness of passing years.
