"No, Grandpa Butcher and Mei Niang are both injured. Godmother must be safe!" Guan Changyun shouted.
He and Zhang Mengfei had already taken Bian Jiaorou as their godmother. It would be strange if they weren't worried when their godmother was in trouble.
"Don't act rashly. Otherwise, everyone in the city will die. Take a good look at who he is!" Zhuge Tianji stopped Guan Changyun again.
Guan Changyun, Zhang Mengfei, Han Shang, and Lin Mengqi took a closer look at the beggar and were shocked. "It's … it's him!"
They already knew who the other party was, and their bodies were drenched in a cold sweat!
"Who is he?" Bu Er asked Zhuge Tianji.
"The Masked Emperor!" Zhuge Tianji replied with reverence.
"The … the Masked Emperor!" Bu Er shuddered, and panic flashed through his eyes.
The Masked Emperor had become the representative of the God of Slaughter, and Lonely Fiend City had become a forbidden area. No one dared to go there unless they were at least a Great Emperor.
However, the fact that he was carrying a coffin and appearing here was simply inconceivable!
"I don't care who he is. He can't hurt godmother!" Zhang Mengfei said with determination.
He saw the Masked Emperor walking toward his godmother.
"Don't worry. The Masked Emperor might not hurt her," Zhuge Tianji guessed.
"Sir, you're just saying 'might'.
The Masked Great Emperor is someone who kills without batting an eyelid! "Guan Zhangyun said from the side and rushed down.
Zhang Mengfei and the others also rushed over.
However, before they could get close, a terrifying force blocked them, preventing them from getting any closer.
This was the aura of an emperor. It was different from the aura of a king or emperor. It could cover a certain area, and those with limited strength could not even get close to it.
Guan Changyun and Zhang Mengfei were worried. Fortunately, they saw that the Masked Emperor didn't hurt Bian Jiaorou, so they were relieved.
The Masked Great Emperor fixed his gaze on Bian Jiaorou. His eyes were filled with infinite tenderness. If it weren't for his sloppy appearance and the coffin, under such circumstances, he would indeed appear to be a prodigal son with deep affection.
Bian Jiaorou didn't know why, but when she looked into the eyes of the Masked Great Emperor, she felt touched. It was as if they had known each other for many years, and there was a faint resonance between them!
"Ji!"
The masked Great Emperor still had an incomparably gentle tone as he softly called out to Bian Jiaorou. There wasn't even the slightest bit of murderous aura in his voice!
"If you want to call me that, then go ahead," Bian Jiaorou said softly. She paused for a moment before continuing, "Your body is so dirty. Why don't you come back with me? I'll get someone to clean you up and bury the person in the coffin."
Bian Jiaorou was a very kind person. Otherwise, she wouldn't have picked up Yao Yue and bitterly raised him into an adult.
Just as Bian Jiaorou was about to bring the Masked Great Emperor back to the city lord's mansion, a figure silently appeared on the city walls.
It was an old man. His hair and eyebrows were white, but his face was ruddy without any wrinkles. He wore a green robe that gave him an extremely elegant and otherworldly feeling.
The phrase "white hair, youthful face, and sage-like bones" seemed to describe this old man.
As soon as the old man appeared, the Masked Great Emperor immediately reacted.
The two of them seemed to have sensed the same thing, and their gazes met from afar.
"Such a person actually exists!" The old man's eyes flickered with a scorching light as he thought to himself.
"Who are you? Hurry up and leave!" The guard on the city walls chased the old man away.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, his body was torn into a puddle of blood like a piece of paper!
"There's … an enemy …" The other guards shouted nervously.
Before he could finish his words, he followed in the footsteps of the previous guard.
"They have killed so many elders of my Cangxuan Hall. Your little Yuefengge will have to accompany them in death," the old man said nonchalantly.
As his voice fell, a powerful aura appeared, and the dozens of guards on the city walls were all shaken into pools of blood!
Zhuge Tianji, Bu Er, and the others immediately sensed the commotion and exclaimed, "Another Great Emperor has appeared. It must be a Cangxuan Hall Great Emperor!"
"No matter who he is, he can forget about destroying our Yuefengge!"
Guan Changyun clenched his fists and shouted. Then, he looked down at Bian Jiaorou and shouted, "Godmother, hurry up and return to the pavilion. An enemy is coming!"
"That's right. Godmother, hurry up and return to the pavilion!" Zhang Mengfei shouted from the side.
"Chang Yun, Mengfei, be careful!
Godmother will return and wait for your return! "Bian Jiaorou warned.
She knew that she would only be a burden if she stayed, so she did not force herself to stay.
Just as Guan Changyun and Zhang Mengfei were about to lead the Emperors to attack, Zhuge Tianji shouted, "Hurry up and return to the pavilion. A Great Emperor is not someone we can deal with!"
"That's right. Hurry up and leave, or we will all die!" Bu Er agreed.
"Third Brother, take godmother and leave first!" Guan Changyun said to Zhang Mengfei.
Zhang Mengfei wanted to dive down, but he could not get close to Bian Jiaorou. Helpless, he could only shout, "Godmother, hurry up and leave!"
Bian Jiaorou had already wanted to leave, but she realized that the masked Great Emperor had grabbed her hand and said, "Ji, no one can harm you!"
Bian Jiaorou could see the care and concern in his eyes, and her heart was in a mess.
In the past, she had lived a miserable life. It was only after Yao Yue's rise that she was able to live a peaceful and happy life. However, this unkempt man before her gave her a different feeling. It was as if she also yearned for his protection!
However, she was still rational enough to say, "You should come with me as well. The enemy must be very powerful. Otherwise, my two godsons would not be so nervous!"
"You are the Yuefengge's members, right?
None of you will be able to leave! "the old man said as he arrived before Zhuge Tianji and the others.
The aura he brought with him was not something ordinary people could withstand. Everyone felt as if a huge rock was pressing down on their hearts, making it impossible for them to even move.
Cold sweat dripped down their backs as they thought, We are dead for sure this time!
It was at this moment that a voice filled with killing intent shouted, "Scram!"
The voice seemed to have come from the depths of hell. It was cold and emotionless, and no one could resist it.
The target of the voice was none other than the old man hovering in midair.
Surging shockwaves and merciless killing intent forced the old man to retreat.
Zhuge Tianji and the others regained their freedom. Without any hesitation, they immediately distanced themselves from the old man.
After retreating a few steps, the old man's gaze landed on the masked Great Emperor. "Who are you? This Great Emperor does not kill nameless people!"
After saying that, a terrifying aura emanated from his body. The majesty of a Great Emperor caused the citizens below to feel an urge to kneel down and worship him.
The masked Great Emperor did not reply. He used his finger as a sword, and a finger filled with merciless killing intent soared into the sky and slashed furiously at the old man.
The sword energy soared into the sky, and its power was domineering.
When the old man felt the majestic power and killing intent, he immediately condensed a fist and punched towards the sword finger without thinking.
Rumble!
In an instant, a loud explosion rang out, causing the sky to tremble. The two forces were too terrifying.
The fluctuations caused Zhuge Tianji, Bu 'Er, and the others to feel a chill in their hearts, forcing them to retreat again and again.
With a single move, the old man was forced to retreat. His fist was even stained with blood.
It was obvious that the old man was the loser in the previous exchange.
"What a powerful killing intent. Are you Tang Zhan, the masked Great Emperor of Solitary Fiend City?" The old man showed some fear.
Kill!
The masked Great Emperor did not reply. He soared into the sky, used his finger as a sword, and slashed furiously at the old man.
The power of this finger sword was much more terrifying than the previous one. The killing intent was unstoppable.
"Good, good. This Great Emperor has just come out of seclusion, and I've already met an opponent like you. Show me how strong you are!"
The old man said confidently. A green sword appeared in his hand, and he channeled all his energy into it. Instantly, the green sword shone brightly.
The green sword was like a rainbow, overflowing with sword energy.
The moment the green sword slashed out, it was as if a withered tree had been reborn, bringing with it an exuberant vitality. It was as if the sword did not carry the danger of death. Instead, it gave off a feeling of hope and rebirth.
The killing intent of the finger sword collided with the green sword's vitality. A terrifying emperor-grade energy swept out in all directions like a storm.
Many of the buildings below collapsed in an instant, and many of the citizens were affected. They were either killed or injured!
Only the people near Bian Jiao Rou didn't suffer any injuries!
Pu!
A figure was sent flying while coughing up blood. A voice rang out, "As expected of the Merciless Dao of Killing. I hope you can protect Yuefengge and Yuefengcheng forever."
The green figure was like a wisp of smoke, disappearing into the air in the blink of an eye.
Needless to say, the old man had been defeated.
The masked Great Emperor had forced another Great Emperor to retreat with just two finger swords. His strength was unfathomable.
Zhuge Tianji looked at Bian Jiaorou from afar and sighed inwardly, "As expected, the vitality is on her.
From now on, Yuefengge will enter a period of rapid growth. "
The others were dumbfounded. They could not believe that the masked Great Emperor had taken action to defend them. It felt like a dream.
The masked Great Emperor carried the coffin and landed beside Bian Jiaorou again. All his killing intent vanished, and he said tenderly, "Ji, I won't let anyone harm you."
Bian Jiaorou looked at the masked Great Emperor gratefully and said, "Although I don't know who you are, I'm very grateful for your help."
Next, Bian Jiaorou invited the masked Great Emperor to the city lord's mansion.
She was a kind person, but she was no fool. She knew that the person before her could protect Yuefengge. Therefore, she felt that she should do something for her son.
