# Chapter 1613: Why Fear Battle
"Negotiate?" Ni Chen Martial Emperor stared at Shen Yu. Negotiation was merely going through the motions. In the world of martial arts, strength was the ultimate truth, and now, his side happened to be at a disadvantage. Whatever the other party wanted to do, they would do. They had already killed a disciple of his Azure Emperor Mountain. What could he do about it?
"Those who targeted my Demon Night Island disciples include Qi Tian Fortress, Medicine King Immortal Palace, and Great Zhou Immortal Palace. These three forces have long-standing, indescribable grudges with Lin Feng. Who is right and who is wrong cannot be said. Each will use their own methods to resolve the issue. However, whether my Demon Night Island seeks them out for retribution is my Demon Night Island's own affair."
Shen Yu Martial Emperor looked at Ni Chen and spoke slowly: "But the grudge between Lin Feng and the Nine Great Immortal Palaces and Heavenly Fortresses has nothing to do with your Azure Emperor Mountain. What status does your Azure Emperor Mountain hold? Yet you killed a Venerable Martial junior from my Demon Night Island, and afterwards had the Nine Great Immortal Palaces and Heavenly Fortresses seal the city to capture and hunt him down. Ni Chen, if you cannot explain this clearly today, then everyone from Azure Emperor Mountain who participated in this matter will not be leaving today."
The reason Shen Yu Martial Emperor spoke so clearly was not out of fear. Rather, this conflict might not only involve matters between him and Ni Chen, but could also affect the struggle between two Emperor-level forces—Azure Emperor Mountain and Demon Night Island. Therefore, it was better to be clear. Even if I kill you, I must have a justifiable reason: it was Azure Emperor Mountain that first hunted my Demon Night Island disciple.
The experts of Azure Emperor Mountain's expressions tightened. Everyone who participated in this matter would not leave today. Shen Yu truly intended to slaughter all of Azure Emperor Mountain's people who had come, telling everyone that his Demon Night Island was not something Azure Emperor Mountain could touch whenever they wished.
At this moment, Qi Yunlei slowly rose into the air, arriving beside Ni Chen Martial Emperor, and looked at Shen Yu: "Do you know who ordered the capture of Lin Feng?"
Shen Yu raised an eyebrow and asked coldly: "Is there another force involved?"
"I am from the Wuji Palace," Qi Yunlei said coldly.
"Wuji Palace?" A sharp gleam flashed in Lin Feng's eyes. Wuji Palace was involved in capturing him. He remembered that during the battle, the Eastern Emperor had intended to kill him, but Qi Yunlei had shouted loudly, forbidding anyone from killing Lin Feng. He hadn't expected that behind Azure Emperor Mountain, there was actually Wuji Palace.
"It's him, the Azure Robe Great Emperor." Lin Feng's eyes stiffened. Since Wuji Palace wanted to capture him, there was only one reason: the Azure Robe Great Emperor from before had realized that Wuji Heavenly Emperor might have passed on his inheritance to Lin Feng. Even if it was only a possibility, the Azure Robe Great Emperor would not let it go and ordered his capture. This was why Qi Yunlei had tried to take him alive.
"Shen Yu, do you know what you're doing?" Ni Chen said coldly.
"So you are from Wuji Palace." At this moment, Fox Moon slowly stepped forward, a charming smile on her beautiful face. She arrived before Qi Yunlei, and suddenly, her red robe fluttered. Faster than lightning, Qi Yunlei tried to dodge, but the red robe instantly wrapped around his body.
"Tear apart!" Qi Yunlei roared angrily, his Space Law power turning into sharp swords.
"Can you cut through it?" Fox Moon said with a charming laugh. Then Qi Yunlei felt the blood vessels in his body tremble. Blood directly seeped out from one of his arms. In just a moment, that arm was gone, leaving only continuously flowing blood. The blood throughout his entire body was also collapsing.
"No, what are you doing?" Qi Yunlei stared at Fox Moon in terror. Blood transformation—this was blood transformation power. She could instantly turn him into a pool of flesh and blood.
"I want your flesh and blood." The red robe trembled, extending three thousand zhang, and viciously slammed Qi Yunlei to the ground. Qi Yunlei dared not resist, as the blood transformation power still enveloped him.
"I am from Wuji Palace!" Qi Yunlei roared. But Fox Moon continued to smile charmingly, looking down at Qi Yunlei on the ground: "Wuji Palace has no use for cripples."
"What do you want to do?" Seeing Fox Moon's smile, Qi Yunlei's body trembled wildly. Then the red robe tightly wrapped around his body. His flesh and blood began to collapse, turning into withered blood. The meridians inside his body were shattering. Fox Moon was crippling him. Wuji Palace would not want a cripple.
"Senior, no..." Qi Yunlei finally trembled, realizing what was about to happen.
"Do I look that old? You should call me... Queen!" Fox Moon said seductively.
"Queen, spare me!" Qi Yunlei roared. If he was crippled, not to mention Wuji Palace, even Qi Tian Fortress would abandon him. From then on, he could only wait for death to descend. His life would have no more color.
"I told you, Wuji Palace wouldn't have such trash." Fox Moon's beautiful face filled the people of Azure Emperor Mountain and Qi Tian Fortress with fear. This enchantress was truly a terrifying enchantress.
When the red robe rolled away, Qi Yunlei's body lay in a pool of blood, curled up. He had been crippled.
Ni Chen hadn't expected the people of Demon Night Island to be so crazy. Even after Qi Yunlei had stated he was from Wuji Palace, Fox Moon had still ruthlessly crippled him.
Even Shen Yu's brow didn't furrow. He stared at Ni Chen and said: "How could Wuji Palace have such trash? He should be from Qi Tian Fortress. He was impersonating Wuji Palace. Besides, even if he were from Wuji Palace, Ni Chen, when did your Azure Emperor Mountain become a subordinate of Wuji Palace?"
"My Azure Emperor Mountain has never joined any other force," Ni Chen replied coldly.
"Since Azure Emperor Mountain is not a subordinate of Wuji Palace, what does Wuji Palace's desire to capture Lin Feng have to do with you, Ni Chen? You wanted to curry favor and used my Demon Night Island's disciple as a stepping stone?" Shen Yu said coldly: "That reason is not sufficient. Now, the people of Qi Tian Fortress, get lost. My Demon Night Island wants to deal with Azure Emperor Mountain's actions against my Demon Night Island disciple. Of course, if Qi Tian Fortress wants to advance and retreat together with Azure Emperor Mountain, I don't mind."
As Shen Yu's words fell, a gale swept through. Wind Demon had moved to another position, preparing to attack Azure Emperor Mountain.
"Have the Palace Lords and Fortress Lords of the Nine Great Immortal Palaces and Heavenly Fortresses all disappeared at a time like this?" Ni Chen's voice was extremely cold, causing the hearts of Qi Tian Fortress's people to tremble. They were deeply conflicted. If the Palace Lords and Fortress Lords of the Nine Great Immortal Palaces and Heavenly Fortresses all descended now to join forces against Demon Night Island, they could suppress them. But no one was willing to come and offend Demon Night Island. They couldn't afford it, especially the few forces that had no grudges with Demon Night Island. They had no reason to come.
But now, if they didn't come, it seemed they would offend Azure Emperor Mountain.
This situation was indeed embarrassing. The great powers of the Nine Great Immortal Palaces and Heavenly Fortresses were probably struggling too. But in the end, they chose not to come here. Offending Azure Emperor Mountain might bring some difficulties in the future, but since the Nine Great Immortal Palaces and Heavenly Fortresses had many interests entangled with Azure Emperor Mountain, Azure Emperor Mountain couldn't possibly uproot their foundations—at least not in the short term. But Demon Night Island was different. Helping Azure Emperor Mountain deal with Demon Night Island at this time would undoubtedly be challenging Demon Night Island's power. When the even larger horde of demons descended in the future, they wouldn't be able to bear it.
Better to offend Azure Emperor Mountain than to offend Demon Night Island.
Even the people of Qi Tian Fortress were already retreating. They dared not not retreat; not retreating meant death. What frustrated them most now was: how could Lin Feng have so many experts from Demon Night Island mobilized for him? If it were just Shen Yu Martial Emperor alone, he couldn't have caused much trouble. But the situation before them was a descent of numerous demons.
"Shen Yu, do you truly want Azure Emperor Mountain and Demon Night Island to go to war?" Ni Chen said coldly.
"Ni Chen, don't overestimate yourself. This matter might be your personal doing. Of course, even if it truly concerns Azure Emperor Mountain, you casually attacked my Demon Night Island disciple without fear of war. Why should my Demon Night Island fear? Now, those from Azure Emperor Mountain who attacked my Demon Night Island disciple—kill without mercy."
Shen Yu Martial Emperor spat out a cold voice.
"Roar..." The demon ape roared, heaven and earth splitting apart. A massive demonic palm struck forward, overturning mountains and seas, as if pushing entire mountain ranges forward, burying everything.
"Remember this!" Ni Chen's voice was icy. He took the person beside him and rose into the air, flickering through the void.
Wind Demon's body flashed wildly, wanting to pursue, but Shen Yu said: "Forget it. Ni Chen is skilled in Space Law and Metal Law—fast speed, strong attacks. Even if we catch up, we can't kill him. Let him go. Not a single person from Azure Emperor Mountain here will be left alive."
"Little brother Feng, let's go play too." Fox Moon wrapped Lin Feng beside her. Her form flickered, and in an instant, she appeared before a Martial Emperor from Azure Emperor Mountain. Her jade hand extended, pointing into the void. Instantly, that space turned into a space of blood. Blood transformation. That Martial Emperor expert felt his blood vessels no longer under his control, his expression drastically changing.
"Little brother Feng, you mustn't remember your big sister's violent side." Fox Moon said with a charming laugh. Then her hand suddenly clenched. Blood exploded. That person turned into a pile of flesh and blood. Dead.
"This is the gap in realm." Lin Feng watched the battle before him, his heart stirred. A higher major realm was like an insurmountable chasm. The difference in Law power was too great. Fox Moon could easily crush a Mid-rank Emperor to death.
Not to mention a higher realm. In truth, when Lin Feng stepped into the Martial Emperor realm, he would understand that even within the same major realm, the gap between different people could be insurmountable—just like how he could now easily crush those of the same level.
The people of Qi Tian Fortress watched this scene of slaughter in the void, their hearts tightening. These demonic beasts were utterly lawless. You, Azure Emperor Mountain, were not afraid of war. Why should my Demon Night Island fear? Kill if we must kill.
"Better to offend Azure Emperor Mountain than to offend Demon Night Island." The distant crowd was speechless. Azure Emperor Mountain represented supreme status in their region. Everyone was proud to become a martial cultivator of Azure Emperor Mountain. But now, Demon Night Island was slaughtering Azure Emperor Mountain's martial cultivators. Before absolute power, the lofty martial cultivators of Azure Emperor Mountain were just as fragile, unable to withstand a single blow!
