Immortal God of War-Chapter 968 - 923: Three Self-Sealed Pseudo Gods

"No!"

The current Empress hurriedly stepped between Qin Feiyang and Elder Qin, looking at Elder Qin and said, "Don’t act, he really will harm Tian Er."

"Rest assured, Your Majesty, he won’t dare to harm the young prince."

"Because if anything happens to the young prince, he loses his shield."

Elder Qin said.

Qin Feiyang grinned and said, "You’re quite clever, but did you forget something? I have a castle?"

The castle was his true shield.

Elder Qin raised an eyebrow, looked up at the Emperor, and bowed, "Your Majesty, how do you wish to handle this?"

The Emperor looked at Qin Feiyang, silent and speechless.

A moment later.

He then turned his gaze to the young prince.

It was only after a long, long while that he looked at Qin Feiyang and opened his mouth to say, "Although I like him a lot, it doesn’t mean you can use him to threaten me. A son can always be born again if lost."

Qin Feiyang’s gaze trembled.

How heartless it must be to say such a thing.

He didn’t dare question it.

Because he was the best example.

The Emperor could abandon him, and he could just as easily abandon this young prince.

The Emperor coldly said, "Speak, what do you want?"

Qin Feiyang took a deep breath and said, "I want you to promise never to harm my mother or anyone associated with me ever again."

Mother was unwilling to leave the Imperial Capital, so he had to make plans for her future.

As for those associated with him, there were many more.

Like Lo Qianxue, Yiyi, Princess Mermaid, Yan Nanshan, and so on.

The Emperor said in a deep voice, "You’re the first to dare to negotiate terms with me!"

"Should I not feel honored?"

Qin Feiyang sneered.

The Emperor’s eyes narrowed slightly, "You offend my majesty time and again, do you think I’d agree?"

"Ah..."

And just then.

A painful scream suddenly rang out from the peak of the clouds.

Everyone looked up.

They saw that the battlefield of the State Preceptor and Elder Yi had shifted to the high skies above the Imperial Palace.

Under the combined assault of Elder Yi and the others, the State Preceptor was clearly heavily injured and in a perilous condition.

The Emperor raised an eyebrow and commanded, "Elder Qin, quickly go and assist the State Preceptor!"

"Yes!"

Elder Qin bowed in response and soared into the skies.

"Hehe."

"It’s better for you to stay here."

But suddenly, a faint chuckle came from near the Bright Sky Palace.

Soon after.

A masked white-haired elder soared into the air, blocking Elder Qin’s path.

It was the same elder who had been with Ling Yu and the others not long ago.

"What?"

"Another Pseudo God!"

Seeing the masked elder, Elder Qin exclaimed in shock, his face full of disbelief.

Hearing Elder Qin’s exclamation, everyone present was equally astonished.

Including the Emperor and Qin Feiyang!

Qin Feiyang asked in surprise, "Mu Qing, is he one of ours?"

"No."

Mu Qing shook his head.

"Not?"

"Then who is he?"

Qin Feiyang scrutinized the masked elder.

Suddenly.

He noticed something familiar in the masked elder’s eyes, and his gaze slightly trembled.

The masked elder’s eyes gave him an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

Yet the masked elder’s demeanor felt very foreign.

What was going on?

Had he seen him somewhere before?

Qin Feiyang racked his brains thinking.

At the same time.

The Emperor looked at the masked elder and asked, "Who are you?"

"I am merely a busybody, there’s no need to be overly anxious."

The masked elder rasped a laugh.

The Emperor raised his eyebrows and said solemnly, "I’m afraid you can’t meddle in matters here!"

"That’s not necessarily true."

The masked elder chuckled and looked up at the State Preceptor and Elder Yi.

Qin Feiyang and the others looked up again.

Under the siege of Elder Yi and the others, the already heavily injured State Preceptor was now in utter chaos, extremely miserable!

The Emperor withdrew his gaze and looked at the masked elder, "Are you stalling for time?"

The masked elder smiled lightly, not denying it.

As long as Elder Qin was held back, Elder Yi and the middle-aged man taking down the State Preceptor was only a matter of time.

Elder Qin abruptly turned and bowed to the Emperor, "Your Majesty, please have them come out!"

"Them?"

Qin Feiyang and others were taken aback and immediately looked at the Emperor and Elder Qin with curiosity.

Who were they?

Could it be that there were indeed other Pseudo Gods hidden within the Imperial Palace?

Looking at the Emperor again.

Upon hearing Elder Qin’s words, his face fluctuated with uncertainty, as if hesitating.

"Tian Er, quickly take your people and leave the Imperial Capital!"

It was at this moment.

The woman in white transmitted a message to Qin Feiyang, her tone extremely anxious.

"Mother, what’s going on? Who are you so afraid of?"

Qin Feiyang wondered aloud.

"Stop asking, just leave!"

The woman in white urged.

"Actually, there is no need for you to worry."

The masked elder glanced at Qin Feiyang and his group, suddenly smiling.

"What do you mean?"

Qin Feiyang and the others looked at him again.

"Indeed, there are a few Pseudo Gods hidden within the Imperial Palace, but they won’t easily make a move."

"Because their time is nearing its end, and they have entered a state of self-sealing."

The masked elder said.

The Emperor looked at him in shock and anger, "How do you know so much? Who exactly are you?"

The masked elder laughed, "Didn’t I just say it? I am merely a busybody."

"Self-sealing!"

Qin Feiyang’s eyes flickered.

He of course knew about self-sealing.

At the time when he and Lu Xingchen entered the great canyon below the ruins to search for Ren Duxing, the Sacred Monkey they encountered was in a state of self-sealing.

There are only two possibilities for self-sealing.

The first is being seriously injured, on the brink of peril, and evading the pursuit of a powerful enemy.

Entering a state of self-sealing, one’s aura completely disappears, even if separated by a sheet of paper, it cannot be detected.

It is a very effective means of escape.

Of course.

This is also a double-edged sword.

If discovered, the only fate is death, because after self-sealing, there is no combat ability.

The second possibility is being close to the end.

Some ancient beings close to the end choose self-sealing as they do not want to die.

This way, the vitality within their bodies ceases to drain away.

In other words.

They remain in the state before sealing, waiting for descendants to find a way to extend their lives.

However.

One mustn’t be careless because of this.

Because these self-sealing beings are not actually at the end.

Rather, they are near the end!

Though there are only two characters’ difference between ’at the end’ and ’near the end’, the significance is vastly different.

’At the end’ means immediate death.

While ’near the end’ means close to death, but still have some time to live.

As long as those near the end haven’t been sealed too long, once the seal is released, they can still exert peak combat power.

The reason is that if self-sealing lasts too long, their cultivation gradually diminishes with time.

...

"Your Majesty, this matter involves the destiny and safety of our Great Qin Empire, further hesitation is not an option!"

Elder Qin spoke again.

"No!"

The emperor resolutely waved his hand, looking at Qin Feiyang and shouted: "Take your people and leave quickly!"

"I won’t leave unless my conditions are met!"

Qin Feiyang shook his head.

The safety of his mother is above all.

"You are indeed stubborn!"

"Though I don’t wish to disturb them, if it comes to that, I would unhesitatingly ask them to come out."

The emperor’s gaze turned cold, and a golden flash shimmered before him as a large golden bell appeared.

"Now, as long as I strike this golden bell, someone will immediately use blood to break their seal."

"By then, you will have nowhere to go!"

The emperor said in a deep voice.

Qin Feiyang’s pupils contracted.

It’s easy to infer from the emperor’s tone that those self-sealing Pseudo Gods haven’t been sealed for long.

This means that they can exert their peak power.

If the seal is indeed broken, along with the State Preceptor and Elder Qin, both Pseudo Gods, he and Mu Qing among others are in grave danger today.

"Hurry up!"

Qin Feiyang looked up at Elder Yi and the middle-aged man.

Only relying on these two now.

As long as the State Preceptor can be taken down before the emperor strikes the bell, even if those self-sealing ancient beings are released, they wouldn’t dare act against him.

The battle in the sky grew increasingly fierce!

The State Preceptor’s situation became more precarious.

Below.

Elder Qin was extremely anxious!

"Why must it come to this?"

The emperor looked at Qin Feiyang, shook his head, sighed, then raised his arm, and fiercely struck the golden bell.

"Clang!"

The bell trembled violently in mid-air, sending a thunderous echo that reverberated across the entire Imperial Palace.

Mu Qing’s face changed abruptly, angrily saying: "Qin Feiyang, if we don’t leave now, we’ll all die here!"

The mysterious lady, the First Patriarch Mu, and the second patriarch all looked anxious.

Qin Feiyang’s expression was also dark like water, yet he did not speak; internally he was screaming madly.

Quickly, quickly!

The State Preceptor is at a dead end; as long as Elder Yi and the middle-aged man push a bit harder, they can take him down!

"Damn it!"

Seeing this.

Mu Qing couldn’t help but curse, then looked up at Elder Yi and shouted: "Ancestor, quickly open the time-space gate!"

"It’s too late to leave now!"

Elder Qin sneered, divine might surged, sealing the area.

As time ticked away.

About ten breaths passed.

Boom!!!

The rear hill of the Imperial Palace suddenly surged with terrifying momentum!

All divine power!

Undoubtedly.

The seal on those self-sealing Pseudo Gods had been broken!

"One, two, three!"

Simultaneously.

The mysterious lady closed her eyes, carefully sensing those divine powers.

Suddenly.

She opened her eyes, exclaimed: "There are three divine powers!"

Mu Qing, the First Patriarch Mu, and the second patriarch, their faces turned pale instantly.

Three divine powers, equals three Pseudo Gods!

How to fight against this?

Qin Feiyang’s heart also sank to rock bottom.

"Alas!"

"Seems the old me must act after all!"

At this moment.

Accompanied by a helpless sigh, the masked elder vanished into thin air.

In the next moment.

He suddenly appeared behind the emperor!

However.

He did not use any weapon to hold the emperor, merely stood behind him.

But even so, it was enough to cause anyone to turn pale.

Because the emperor’s cultivation was not yet at the level of Pseudo God!

The masked elder could easily kill him now.

"How dare you!"

Elder Qin roared in anger, his eyes flashing with shocking murderous intent.

A group of Black Iron Army and Kylin Army coldly glared at the masked elder.

"What?"

Qin Feiyang and others were astonishingly shaken.

How bold is this masked elder?

Seizing the emperor is akin to opposing the entire Great Qin Empire!

Yet for them, it was a turning point.

With the emperor controlled by the masked elder, certainly, they wouldn’t dare act recklessly.

However, they couldn’t understand why the masked elder was helping them?
