Chapter 4680: Four Great Emperors Feng Jiu stared blankly as the golden light disappeared into the sky, taking the three children with it. A deep sense of loss and sadness filled her heart. She stood quietly at the bow of the boat, watching until a long time had passed, before finally returning to the cabin. “I’m going to rest. Wake me when we arrive at Sky Mountain,” she said before falling silent within the cabin. Du Fan, Leng Hua, Leng Shuang, and the others watched, sighing in their hearts. They, too, were reluctant to let their three young masters leave, but they all understood that their departure was for the best. In the Upper Immortal Realm, within a grand palace, four powerful beings sat together, deep in discussion. “Didn’t you say you were sending Feng Jiu to the Demon Realm? How come I heard that the Demon King sent her back? What’s going on? Didn’t you dispatch anyone to investigate?” A man in black robes, possessing a thick waist and broad shoulders and appearing to be in his thirties, inquired calmly. The sharp gaze beneath his sword-like eyebrows was piercing, deterring direct eye contact. “Who knew that the Demon King was so cowardly? He didn’t even dare to avenge the Demon Queen’s death but instead sent Feng Jiu and her group away,” another man frowned, his dignified face revealing his displeasure. “What a waste of such a prime opportunity.” A middle-aged man then spoke, his tone resolute. “Feng Jiu is the Phoenix Star of Heaven’s Will. How could she perish so easily in the Demon Realm? In my opinion, Feng Jiu’s life must be taken by our own hands. We cannot rely on others.” As he spoke, he rose to his feet, placing his hands behind his back, and looked at the other three. “Just wait! There will always be a chance to end her life. Isn’t that Xuanyuan Mo Ze right within our grasp?” “Speaking of that Xuanyuan Mo Ze, it is said that the spirit consciousness of that world has not completely dissipated and is gradually solidifying and growing stronger. I’m afraid that Xuanyuan Mo Ze is not dead but is perhaps recovering from his injuries somewhere, biding his time for the opportune moment,” another man mused thoughtfully, his brow slightly furrowed. “If that’s the case, then we are indeed facing trouble.” Yet another person picked up a cup of spirit tea, took a deliberate sip, and said dismissively, “What trouble? If they wish to ascend to immortality, they must first endure ninety-nine lightning tribulations. Are we afraid that we won’t have a chance to interfere? No matter how formidable they become, how can they possibly surpass the four of us?” “That is true, but the rate of growth of these two has been astonishing. If we allow them to mature further, they will truly become the rulers of the world. At that juncture, what would become of the status of the Four Great Emperors?” “They are merely insignificant cultivators from the lower realm. Even if they gain dominion over a portion of the world, do they dare to compete with us? We will not tolerate their ambition!” The middle-aged man stated in a composed voice, snorted lightly, and continued, “If they aspire to ascend to immortality, we shall see if they possess the necessary qualifications!” The group exchanged knowing glances and smiled in unison. They lifted their cups of spirit tea and took a sip. One of them commented, “Indeed. We are powerful beings of heaven and earth, the esteemed Four Great Emperors. How challenging could it be to end the lives of those two? If we decree that they shall live, they cannot die. If we decree that they shall die, they cannot live!” 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢 “Hahahaha! Well said! Come, allow me to propose a toast with tea!” Another person laughed heartily and raised his spiritual tea towards them. “Please!” The other three reciprocated the gesture, then took a sip of their spiritual tea, exchanged glances, and smiled.
