The Emperors of the Sacred Palace all looked at the War God Chariot in shock. Even the War God Guards were disturbed by the battle on Path Mountain, but why didn't they move with the Sky Shaker Army?
If this War God Guard had attacked just now, the result might have been different.
Elder Taihua secretly observed the Ancestral Lord. Li Chuji had exposed his identity to protect the Taoist Gate. If the War God Guards also wanted to capture him, how would the Ancestral Lord deal with it?
A thousand years ago, Bo Changzhi was a top cultivator of an era. He wouldn't easily hand someone over.
The Sunset War God's reputation was no less than Bo Changzhi's. He was even more famous. The Emperors of the Five Realms were intimidated. Since the War God Guards were here, the master of the Sunset Peak would come at any time.
Would the two top cultivators fight because of Li Chuji?
Elder Taihua's heart trembled. This battle was very likely.
However, the Ancestral Lord was famous before and had passed his peak. The East Continent no longer belonged to his era, and the Sunset War God was in his prime. Once they fought, the Ancestral Lord might not be his match.
In fact, Elder Taihua's worry hit Bo Changzhi's weak spot. He looked at the person on the War God Chariot with a solemn expression. This person's aura was far stronger than Yuan Shitao's. He had surpassed the Emperors and stepped into the True Self Realm. He was not much weaker than the owner of the giant face who blocked the Yin Yang Light.
If Bo Changzhi was still at his peak, he wouldn't take a mere War God Guard seriously. Unfortunately, he wasn't a real Ancestral Lord now. He was at most a half-dead man. Even if he still had the strength to suppress the True Self Emperor, he had lost a lot of energy after defeating his opponent.
At this moment, everyone was tense. Even Bo Changzhi didn't dare to underestimate his opponent.
On the other hand, Qin Hao gradually calmed down. He took the initiative to disperse the power of the dragon and let down his guard. He returned to normal.
If there was a ripple in his heart, it was only when he saw the War God Guards for the first time. He felt nostalgic.
"I am."
Qin Hao clasped his hands behind his back and stepped forward, looking at the dazzling war chariot. "You're right," Qin Hao said.
"Come here." An order came from the thick golden armor.
Qin Hao was about to step forward when Bo Changzhi's figure flashed and blocked his way. He faced the exit of the carriage and said, "If you have something to say, say it here."
Naturally, he was afraid that if someone went over, it would be disadvantageous to Qin Hao.
On the war chariot, the War God Guard felt displeased. A cold voice came from under the heavy war helmet. "Who dares to obstruct the War God Hall's actions?"
"I have no intention of fighting against you all, but I'm not afraid of fighting against you either. If there's something you want to say, say it here. Not only you, even if your master is here, he'll do the same." Bo Changzhi's attitude was extremely unyielding.
"Daofather Qilin lives up to his reputation."
Qian Ning looked on in shock. Even the Sunset Battle God had to stand there and speak. This was the domineering aura of a Dao Ancestor.
"Hmm?"
On the golden helmets of the War God Guards, two dazzling golden lights were emitted. It was as if the light from their eyes could pierce through the armor, containing a tyrannical and peerless might.
Was the Sunset Battle God the same?
The Dao Ancestor had probably lived for too long, so he couldn't see reality clearly.
The golden battle sword under his palms was wreaking havoc. On the body of the War God Guard, terrifying True Self Emperor Light bloomed. It was extremely dazzling. He was about to attack.
"Stop."
Qin Hao shouted. Then, he walked to the Dao Ancestor's side and cupped his hands. "Senior, I'll be back soon. This person has no ill intentions."
If he wanted to capture him, he would have attacked together with Yuan Shitao and Cang Yao. The reason why he waited until the people of the Sky Shaker Clan left meant that he didn't want to capture anyone.
Moreover, Qin Hao felt that the War God Guard's aura was familiar. He might know him.
Bo Changzhi looked at the War God Guard and didn't feel any murderous intent. He nodded and said, "Go. I'll watch from here."
Qin Hao smiled. Why did it feel like he was facing his senior brother when they met for the first time? Nodding gently, Qin Hao stepped into the sky. His figure streaked across the sky and landed directly on the War God Chariot. At this moment, the chariot burst into a dazzling light that condensed into a True Self Boundary. The nine Golden Crows screeched and flapped their flaming feathers. They surrounded the boundary and released nine powerful Beast Emperor auras to prevent others from spying on them.
The overwhelming Will of the Way of Flames pressed down. Elder Taihua's mouth twitched slightly. The peak of the Eighth Tier of the Way Proving Realm. These nine Golden Crows had almost cultivated into nine Imperial Lords. However, the Sunset Peak had more than one War God Guard. It was terrifying.
At this moment, Qin Hao stood still on the chariot. This chariot was huge and made of extraordinary materials. It was an extremely strong defensive Imperial Armament. Standing on the chariot gave people a sense of security. In front of him, the War God Guard in pure gold armor didn't move. He pressed on the Imperial Sword in his hand. Under the helmet, his eyes carefully sized up Qin Hao as if he had seen through something.
"Is it Xiao Lou?"
After a long time, Qin Hao said a name. When the War God Guard heard this nickname that had not been mentioned for a long time, his body under the armor trembled slightly. He quickly took off the helmet on his head, revealing a handsome and delicate face. He knelt down heavily in front of Qin Hao. A choked and trembling voice came from his throat, "Xiao Lou greets the Emperor."
"It's really you. Get up quickly." Qin Hao's heart was in turmoil. His eyes seemed to be misty. With trembling hands, he helped the kneeling War God Guard up.
Six hundred years ago, he, Zhan Wu, and Han Lingxuan established the Daqin Empire. They were determined to create a prosperous era and expand their territory. Naturally, there were many subordinates who followed them. Each of them had their own subordinates. For example, Qin Hao's Four Divine Generals.
Xiao Lou was the same as Wu Lilie, who died in the Xiliang Catacombs. They were both Zhan Wu's most trusted subordinates. Among the War God Guards, he was the youngest. He often followed behind Qin Hao and had the closest relationship.
In order to kill Wei Wei, Wu Lilie was severely injured and exhausted. He was sealed in the Catacombs. For six hundred years, his cultivation did not improve at all.
However, after six hundred years, Xiao Lou actually entered the Realm of True Self. This gave Qin Hao a big surprise.
"Emperor, you're still alive." Xiao Lou said with tears in his eyes.
"I'm alive. Are you all well?"
Qin Hao wiped away Xiao Lou's tears. However, his own tears fell. In the past, the Xiao Lou in front of him was just a child.
Xiao Lou was silent. He did not know how to answer Qin Hao's "you all".
If today, he was still the Xiao Lou of the past, he would be willing to talk to Qin Hao all night and talk about the joys and sorrows of the past six hundred years.
However, the "you all" reminded him that his identity was not just Xiao Lou. He was also a War God Guard of the Sunset War God.
"I'm fine."
Xiao Lou restrained his emotions. His voice became slightly colder. He also left Qin Hao's position and retreated a distance.
Qin Hao could naturally feel the change in him. He could not help but smile bitterly. "You've really grown up. In the past, you only knew how to chase after me and ask for candy …"
"Emperor."
Xiao Lou suddenly shouted, interrupting Qin Hao. At this moment, the atmosphere became particularly oppressive. The long-awaited feeling of reunion was getting weaker and weaker. The sense of unfamiliarity between the two of them was getting stronger and stronger.
Taking a deep breath, Xiao Lou said, "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have interrupted you. You must be feeling terrible."
"It's okay."
Qin Hao forced a smile. Yes, this was the first time the great Dendi was being scolded by someone he knew.
