Chapter 43: This Guy... is Actually the Emperor?:
Although Ling Youyun was invincible and unmatched in the world, she had only one person she truly feared: the Emperor of the Great Imperial Empire, Ling Ye!
This was why she had not yet made a direct move against the Great Imperial Empire, knowing she currently lacked the power to do so.
But now, seeing Ling Ye here now, her expression naturally turned serious.
Ling Ye's intervention also made Ji Ziruo sigh with relief.
As long as His Majesty was here, nothing would go wrong. That damned sense of security...
Swish!
The next moment, Ling Youyun quickly retracted her hand and retreated to the front of the demon army. Her blood-red eyes stared intensely at Ling Ye.
She had come because she sensed her mount here and planned to deal with the Purple Moon Immortal Sect while she was at it.
After all, weakening the Great Imperial Empire's strength in advance would be beneficial for her future plans.
Although the demon army hadn't mobilized in full force, its top elites were present, intending to crush the Purple Moon Immortal Sect swiftly and thoroughly.
But Ling Ye's unexpected presence complicated matters.
"Roar!!!"
At that moment, the demon dragon, no longer restrained by Ji Ziruo, roared and broke free from Mu Zihua and the others' chains. It opened its massive mouth, ready to unleash its lightning and fire breath on Ling Ye.
Swish!
But in the next instant, Ling Ye appeared above its head.
Before it could react, his palm struck its head with a seemingly light touch but resulted in a resounding boom.
A shockwave rippled through the sky, and the massive dragon was sent crashing down to the ground, creating a huge hole and instantly losing consciousness.
The dragon, which the combined efforts of the Purple Moon Immortal Sect elders and the sect master could barely contain, was rendered unconscious with a single blow from Ling Ye.
This scene left everyone in the Purple Moon Immortal Sect dumbfounded.
The dragon that their sect master and elders struggled to handle seemed so weak before him.
What kind of power did this person, whose identity was still unknown, possess?
All the disciples and elders of the Purple Moon Immortal Sect found it hard to believe.
Who would have thought that Su Xinyue's handsome master could be so formidable?
Among the crowd, Gu Shengyan's face was filled with astonishment, which quickly turned into jealousy.
This powerful and handsome man should have been hers, but instead, he became Su Xinyue's.
How great would it have been if he were her master?
...
In the sky, Ling Youyun frowned deeply, her blood-red eyes fixed on the motionless dragon.
Even in dealing with a dog, one must respect its master, yet Ling Ye had knocked out her mount right in front of her, showing no regard for her at all!
"Ling Ye! I am merely here to retrieve my pet, yet you strike so ruthlessly! Is this how the Great Imperial Empire treats its guests?" Ling Youyun coldly addressed Ling Ye, her voice alluring yet inherently noble.
Her words caused the faces of all the disciples and elders of the Purple Moon Immortal Sect to change simultaneously.
"Ling... what is she saying?"
"That's the name of the Emperor!"
"Could it be...?"
"My God! Is he the Emperor? Is he really the Emperor?"
Everyone turned their gaze toward Ling Ye.
Was this his true identity?
While many had speculated, the truth was still hard to believe.
No wonder the sect master treated him with special respect, almost like a servant before him.
He turned out to have such an extraordinary identity!
"The Emperor?"
Among the many disciples of the Purple Moon Peak, Gu Shengyan stared intently at Ling Ye.
This was the Emperor of the entire Great Imperial Empire, a person above all others.
This guy... was the Emperor?
How could this be?
No wonder he rejected her that day, and the sect master sided with him.
She finally understood everything, her shock turning into regret and jealousy.
How unfair!
This man was not only handsome and powerful but also had the most unique identity.
And yet, he ended up with Su Xinyue?
Gu Shengyan felt unprecedentedly frustrated and envious.
Why did he choose Su Xinyue over her?
She believed he should have been her master.
Furious, she directed her jealous gaze toward Su Xinyue, blaming her for everything.
If not for her, Ling Ye might have been her master, might have been hers…
