The Emperor Reigns Them All

Chapter 442 The Conscience and the True Heart

There were many cultivators in the world. Some were arrogant, and some were unruly. There were countless hearts in the world as well. Some sought fame, and some sought wealth.

The world was colorful, bizarre, and fascinating. Some said that it was a vast world with mountains and rivers. Some said that it was a world with an immense number of books and poems. And some said that there were different kinds of happiness and misfortunes in the world.

Although the world was colorful, the scenery was different everywhere, and living creatures had different temperaments and stories, when they were faced with the danger of death, their instinctive reactions were not very different.

It was like this black-robed cultivator of the demon clan, who transformed into a human being, was in a panic of fear.

The sword light flashed in the alley under the moonlight, and a flash of bright light flitted through the red wall, like a wound. It was eye-catching in the dark.

The pupils of the cultivator of the demon clan shrank suddenly. He saw the purple lotus blooming in front of him and crystal drops of water falling from the leaves, too beautiful for words.

He couldn’t help feeling a chill on his back, and he almost screamed for an instant.

He had no time to scream because when the purple lotus withered as soon as it bloomed, he clearly felt the danger of death.

So he retreated quickly and thrust the long sword straight at the same time.

In front of the tip of the sword, the wave-like Spiritual Qi rippled in the air, like a stone falling into the sea.

A wisp of long hair fell like catkins in front of the tip of the sword.

“He’s here!” the cultivator of the demon clan almost cried out in surprise.

His sword contained all his cultivation and had the strength of touching the law of the Great Tao. At the moment between life and death, he started a fight decisively. Finally, he met Li Ye, who was attacking him!

However, before the cultivator of the demon clan could rejoice, he became disappointed, because his sword didn’t thrust into Li Ye’s body, and the Sword Qi just cut off some long hair.

His heart skipped a beat, and he felt a sense of foreboding that he had never felt before. He could not help but tremble.

Almost at the same time, Li Ye’s calm face appeared beside the long sword. He tilted his head and avoided the sword. He looked at the cultivator of the demon clan with indifferent eyes, as if he was looking at a stone.

The eyes of the cultivator of the demon clan only met Li Ye’s for an instant.

Then his vision spun uncontrollably.

The dark alley, the tall courtyard walls, the row upon row of roofs, the bustling streets in the distance, the bright Moon Restaurant, and the brilliant stars under the Milky Way flashed by one by one.

Finally, he saw his companions flying toward Li Ye like sparrows from both sides of the alley and the courtyard wall, and he also saw his headless body spraying blood and falling on the cold street.

When Li Ye killed the leading demon in black with his sword, the other five cultivators of the demon clan, who were in the Sky Immortal Realm, made a move together.

They were very fast. If for an ordinary cultivator in the Ground Immortal Realm, he couldn’t capture their movements and he would have been killed, just like the cultivator of the demon clan, who fell just now, facing Li Ye.

Even if an ordinary cultivator in the Ground Immortal Realm could see their movements, he couldn’t catch their attacks. The cultivators in the Sky Immortal Realm succeeded in comprehending the Tao and were only one step away from entering the Tao. There was a law of the Great Tao in their every movement. The cultivators in low realms couldn’t resist that power at all.

However, Li Ye was different. He had comprehended the Tao in the Yang Spiritual Master Realm for several hundred years in his last life, had the experience of two lives, and spent 40 years debating the Tao with Feihong Bodhisattva, so his comprehension of the Great Tao was far beyond that of the ordinary cultivators in the Sky Immortal Realm.

Moreover, he had his own Way of Emperor and already comprehended the second realm.

In terms of the power of the Great Tao in attacking, he wasn’t behind any cultivator in the Sky Immortal Realm. In fact, he surpassed them a long time ago.

He had the Dragon Qi to improve his cultivation and ordinary people’s Luck in his Immortal Area. As long as he didn’t encounter the Taiyi Real Immortals, he wouldn’t be defeated so easily, to say nothing of the cultivators in the Sky Immortal Realm.

But a one-on-one fight was fundamentally different from a one-to-many fight. It was still a challenge that Li Ye had never faced before that five cultivators in the Sky Immortal Realm besieged him at the same time in a small place.

If he fought one-on-one, the other side couldn’t catch his strike of full strength. But now, five cultivators were attacking him at the same time. If he attacked one of them with all his strength, he could kill him directly and neatly, but he couldn’t deal with the other people’s attacks.

Li Ye didn’t fear at all.

The five cultivators of the demon clan fought at the same time, and Li Ye was about to launch the sword method of Step-by-step Lotus. At this time, behind them came a loud explosion, like thunder. At the same time, the entire alley, the courtyard walls, and the houses on both sides shook violently.

When Li Ye started to fight, Wu You’s look became cold and serious.

At this moment, she sank her waist and made a horse stance. As she moved, the bluestone under her embroidered shoes cracked immediately and flew in all directions because it couldn’t withstand the huge pressure. When her petite and delicate body shot out like a cannonball, dust rose from the street and a big hole appeared.

She was running toward the two cultivators of the demon clan on the side of the street behind her, who were flying in the air.

They were so fast that they seemed to be invisible, leaving only two shadows in situ.

They were fast, but Wu You was faster than them.

The direction she was running toward was empty, but she didn’t care. She kept her fist on her waist with a firm look, and then, she punched out straight in a flash.

Since the Monkey King recreated her body, her attack became very simple. She just punched out. When she fought the demon fox, the demon fox couldn’t resist at all. She broke her arm with just two punches.

Her body contained mighty strength. She could defeat the enemy with her strength without using any technique.

Her small fist broke through the air drag, and a circle of air rippled in front of her fist. Suddenly, a black shadow flashed in the empty air.

“Bang.” Her fist hit the black shadow’s lower abdomen, turning his body into the shape of a shrimp.

The features of the cultivator of the demon clan were distorted because of pain. His eyes bulged out, and his eyeballs seemed to fall out. There was still horror and puzzlement in his eyes. His body flew high into the night sky and disappeared.

He flew to somewhere.

Looking confused, the cultivator of the demon clan beside him was still rushing forward according to the planned attack route. Before he could figure out what was going on, the companion next to him was punched into the sky so that his body was still rushing forward because of inertia.

In his eyes, this petite girl was harmless.

“How could she predict the attack trajectory of the cultivator in the Sky Immortal Realm and intercept him exactly halfway?”

But the sound of his companion’s broken bones was so clear that he had to accept what was happening. He was frightened, and he couldn’t stop in time, but he could fully control his body because he was in the Sky Immortal Realm. He immediately twisted his waist, turned around, and wielded his knife. He attacked Wu You’s waist from her back!

The timing of this attack was perfect. When Wu You spared no effort to fight, and her strength couldn’t maintain her strike, there would be no room for her to react. Even if Wu You had the strength of the Great Completion in the Sky Immortal Realm, she couldn’t avoid his knife. She would be either dead or injured.

But he hit nothing.

When he turned back, he saw a shadow flashing in front of him.

Beyond his expectation, after Wu You fought all out, she didn’t pause in the air.

Like a shadow, Wu You chased after the cultivator of the demon clan, who was hit away in the air!

The cultivator of the demon clan was stunned. “How could this be?”

And as Wu You moved, she avoided his blade.

No, it should be said that the attack of the cultivator of the demon clan failed to catch up with her movements.

While Wu You was rushing forward, she looked back and saw the cultivator of the demon clan standing stunned. She sneered. “You may not accept it, but I really didn’t mean to do that.”

Actually, when the cultivator of the demon clan saw Wu You’s movement technique, he realized that she didn’t want to chase his companion, but she couldn’t stop because of using too much strength and the inertia of her body!

It was like when a javelin thrower threw the javelin, he would also go forward.

The cultivator of the demon clan was stunned. “There’s such a way of fighting?”

Wu You rushed up a distance, but not too far. Then she fell as she used up all her strength. Seizing the opportunity, the cultivator of the demon clan clenched his long knife and shouted in a low voice. He was about to jump up from the courtyard wall and cut Wu You, who was falling, with his knife.

Unfortunately, he had no chance.

Before the cultivator of the demon clan could move, he suddenly felt cold on his neck and then spun around. As expected, he saw the blood gushing out from his neck and the bodies of his companions falling. Next to him, Li Ye was retrieving his Luke Sword.

“Very fast...” After the last thought crossed his mind, the cultivator of the demon clan saw nothing but darkness.

Strictly speaking, before he could really fight Wu You, his three companions were killed by Li Ye’s sword, fast beyond his expectation.

When Wu You started to fight, Li Ye launched the sword method of Step-by-step Lotus and killed the three cultivators of the demon clan beside him. Now that the cultivation methods from Purple Clouds from the East mixed with ordinary people’s Luck, it was much powerful than before. It was not a big deal to kill three cultivators in the Sky Immortal Realm by one stroke.

When Wu You landed heavily on the street, Li Ye was about to help her up, but he suddenly felt something and immediately looked back at the mansion behind the courtyard wall.

There were several luxuriant locust trees there, and a sparrow was flying away from the branches.

Li Ye narrowed his eyes slightly. When Wu You landed safely, he felt relieved and immediately chased the sparrow.

It looked like an ordinary sparrow without any Demon Qi and it didn’t fly fast, but after Li Ye tentatively chased it, it suddenly increased its speed sharply, as fast as lightning in an instant.

That was definitely not the speed of an ordinary sparrow!

Li Ye sneered and sped up.

They encountered an assassination in the Yanliu Lane, so it was normal for the other side to send a cultivator to spy on them. Of course, Li Ye couldn’t let him go back. If the other side received the news in time that the assassination had failed, he didn’t know what kind of trouble they would make.

But to Li Ye’s surprise, after the sparrow sped up, he couldn’t draw the distance close even though he tried his best. Li Ye immediately understood that it was sent to spy because it was good at speed.

According to this trend, it was inevitable for it to escape.

Just when Li Ye felt it tricky, the sparrow, which had not yet flown too far, suddenly froze and couldn’t move forward any more in the air. Even though it struggled to flutter its wings, it was useless, as if it was entangled by an invisible net.

On the roof of a tall building, a demon wolf was howling under the moon.

The sparrow looked at the demon wolf in confusion and resentment.

Before Li Ye could approach, a graceful and curvaceous cultivator in the human figure flew up to the air and slapped the sparrow down from the sky!

Li Ye was a little stunned. He recognized that the cultivator who made a fight was the innkeeper of the inn in the Lingyun Canyon.

When Li Ye approached, the demon wolf immediately stopped howling on the roof, jumped down, and ran to the demon fox quickly.

The demon fox caught the sparrow and flew to Li Ye with a smile.

“I guess you want this sparrow.” The innkeeper landed on the roof where Li Ye stood and raised the struggling sparrow in her hand.

“Let me go, you demon fox! Do you know who I am? How dare you attack me! Be careful that I will rip off your skin!” the sparrow shouted as it struggled.

“Shut up! You’re already at death’s door!” After the innkeeper slapped the sparrow’s head, it immediately fell silent and hung its head. It seemed that it was badly beaten.

Li Ye smiled. “Maybe you’re stung by conscience and willing to give me this sparrow.”

After they left the inn and Wu You beat them away in the next morning, Li Ye didn’t expect that the innkeeper would appear in the Panfeng City again. He didn’t know what was in her mind. Of course, he didn’t let down his guard, but he didn’t fear her.

“I don’t know what conscience is, and I probably don’t have it either.” The innkeeper looked at Li Ye and smiled, covering her mouth. Her clear eyes were full of seduction. “But as long as you want it, I will give it to you, because I have a true heart for you.”
