Misty rain obscured the skies.
The rain seemed a bit heavier than before. As raindrops splashed against the ground, a white mist rose into the air.
âYour Excellency, how about I go teach them a lesson?â asked one of the Demon Sovereigns. Those Yao Emperors were truly ungrateful. Black Dragon had given them so much face, yet they still wanted to stand against him?
People like that needed to be taught a lesson. Otherwise, theyâd become unruly.
âYour subordinate requests permission to battle.â
âYour subordinate requests permission to battle.â
One after the other, the Demon Sovereigns stepped forth. The way they saw it, the Three Yao Emperors had no real skill at all. If they were really all that strong, the half beastmen would never have turtled up on Mount Biluo for such a long time.
This was also an excellent chance to show off in front of Black Dragon. No one wanted to let this sort of opportunity slip through their fingers.
Black Dragon simply waved them away and took a step forward. âAll of you, stay where you are. Without my command, none of you are permitted to attack.â
The Demon Sovereigns stepped back. They didnât have the guts to disobey Black Dragonâs orders. At the same time, they saw Black Dragon purse his lips and look at the Three Yao Emperors in the sky.
âIâm rather curious to see whether or not your fusion technique is truly as mighty as rumors say. Come on, then!â
With a wave of his right hand, his spiritual pressure exploded outward.
When the Three Emperors in the sky sensed his spiritual pressure, they couldnât help but frown. From the moment theyâd first arrived, theyâd sensed a mighty spiritual pressure permeating the Beast Region, but they never would have guessed it belonged to Black Dragon himself.
âIt seems we canât hide it any longer.â
The elegantly handsome Deer Emperor laughed, a fierce look in his eyes. Judging from the spiritual pressure emanating off Black Dragon, without using their fusion technique, they werenât even qualified to fight him.
The Art of Fusion.
This was a spiritual technique that the Three Yao Emperors researched and developed themselves. It demanded an extremely high level of coordination between its casters.
From the rate of their breathing to the undulations of their spiritual energy, everything absolutely had to be exactly the same.
The Three Yao Emperors had grown up together. Theyâd cooperated for over ten thousand years, and their hearts had long since become one. Only people like that could truly use this technique.
âYou still want to hide it at a time like this? Youâre the only one whoâd even consider such a thing,â teased another Yao Emperor. He was a tall and stalwart man, fully two meters tall and clad in beast skins. He was the trioâs Bear Emperor.
âBut itâs been such a long time since we last used this technique. Youâd better not mess up.â
âBrother Xiong, youâd be better off telling yourself that,â said the only woman in the trio. âIf we really do run into issues, itâll definitely be because of you.â
She pressed her lips into a smile. She had always been petite, but in front of the Bear Emperor, she looked downright tiny and adorable.
She seemed like she wouldn't hurt a fly, yet she possessed unparalleled speed.
The Sparrow Emperor.
That was her title.
As she spoke, the Bear Emperor scratched his head in embarrassment and laughed honestly.
At that moment, though, the Deer Emperor interrupted their conversation. âQuit it, weâll be in trouble if we make our honored guest wait too long. That said, Brother Xiong, youâd better control yourself. If our fusion technique collapses partway through, weâll all die here.â
When he heard this, the Bear Emperorâs expression sunk. In his heart, he understood: this was different from when they tested the technique back home.There, they could fail.
If they failed now, though, they were doomed.
âF*ck, repaying that Ye kidâs favor is awfully troublesome,â the Bear Emperor
The tall and muscular Bear Emperor couldnât help but swear. At that moment, though, his gaze sharped as his soul emerged from his body.
It wasnât just him: the Deer and Sparrow Emperorsâ souls both cast off their mortal forms as well.
âSo thatâs how it works.â
As he watched their souls exit their shells, Black Dragon smiled at the novelty of it all.
âThen what will they do with their bodies?â As he pondered, the Three Emperors answered his question for him.
The three bodiless souls floated in the air and pointed at their bodies, which landed in front of Li Jiayi. At the same time, she received a transmission from the Deer Emperor.
âWeâll leave our bodies to your care, miss.â
The sudden transmission startled her. She looked over at the Deer Emperorâs soul and discovered he was looking right back at her and nodding.
She nodded slightly, then moved the Three Emperorâs bodies to a comparatively safe location.
The instant the bodies landed, she could sense the Beast Region looking at them strangely.
âWe have to take proper care of the Three Emperorâs bodies. In particular, we have to keep a close eye on people of the Beast Region.â
The human experts all nodded and reached out with their auras. The people of the Beast Region found themselves completely sealed off.
The feeling of being kept under surveillance was decidedly unpleasant. When they felt the humansâ lock onto them, some of the beast clansmen shouted furiously, âwhat do you mean by this?â
âNothing can happen to the Three Emperorsâ bodies. I know your relationship with the three of them is someone delicate. To avoid unnecessary trouble, Iâd like to ask for your understanding.â
âYouâŠâŠâ
Some of them frowned, but since sheâd already said all that, Li Jiayi didnât hide her intentions any longer. She simply announced, âIf anyone is foolish enough to attempt to harm the Three Emperorsâ bodies, kill them!â
âDonât take this too far!â someone shouted, but the instant he opened his mouth, he felt an ice-cold dagger pressed to his throat.
Several other presences locked onto him, relentlessly bearing down on him.
âEveryone, listen to that girl.â The dragon Xia Dong chose that moment to try and soothe the crowd, âour grudge with the half beastmen should have ended a long time ago. Besides, theyâre here to save us now. Please, give me face and calm your fury.â
âHmph. Since youâre a senior of the dragon race, Iâll let it slide.â
The Beast Region experts took this opportunity to back down. When he saw this, Xia Dong smiled, but just as he was about to go to Li Jiayiâs side, he felt a flexible sword at his throat.
âSenior, thank you for speaking up on our behalf, but youâre still someone from the Beast Region. Iâd still like to request that you maintain an appropriate distance from the Three Emperorsâ bodies as well. That will be good for everyone.â
Her beautiful face was completely solemn. Since the Three Emperors trusted their bodies to her care, she absolutely couldn't let any accidents occur.
When the other beast clansmen saw this, they frowned. If not for Xia Dongâs words just now, they would have already attacked the humans out of fury, yet now this girl dared threaten him with her sword?
âYouâŠ..â
âAll of you, back down,â Xia Dong knit his brows and shouted at them, then took a few steps back.
Li Jiayi retracted her blade and, despite the glares from the Beast Region, said evenly, âthank you for your understanding, Senior.â
With that, she returned her sword to her waist and said no more.
