Chapter 2436 Threat, Arrogance

Hearing Mu Cangyan's confident words, the four emperors standing at the pinnacle of the Great Dao fell into deep thought, secretly plotting their schemes.

"I understand very well that you fellow Daoists are eager for opportunities. I have a deal to make, and I'd like to see if you are interested."

If these top figures were to join forces to attack, Mu Cangyan would have a way to deal with it, but it would still be a waste of energy and affect the overall situation.

"What deal?"

Only his voice is heard, but his person is not seen.

"If any of you make a move against Chen Qingyuan, each of you will receive a piece of Origin Dao Leaf."

Whether it succeeds or not, Mu Cangyan is determined to annoy Chen Qingyuan and make him suffer.

Upon hearing this, the emperors fell silent, seemingly analyzing the pros and cons.

Mu Cangyan said he would take action, not kill.

It's quite obvious that this is meant to create enemies for Chen Qingyuan. Whether or not they can be eliminated is secondary; the priority is to bring in a wave of enemies first.

There was nothing he could do; Chen Qingyuan had put so much psychological pressure on Mu Cangyan, making him uneasy, so he could only come up with various ways to stop him.

Furthermore, the Taiwei Emperor has been slow to emerge; we can't let him remain hidden in the shadows any longer. It's time for him to step forward and engage in strategic maneuvering.

The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. Mu Cangyan was truly afraid that all his painstaking efforts would ultimately benefit the Taiwei Emperor.

Therefore, making Emperor Taiwei reveal his true form is the most urgent matter at present.

Origin of the Dao Leaf!

How could anyone not be moved by Mu Cangyan's promise?

They didn't need to kill Chen Qingyuan; a single move would suffice.

This deal is a great deal no matter how you look at it.

But is Chen Qingyuan really that easy to deal with?

The four top emperors have been in China for a few days now and have a basic understanding of the situation.

They were deeply impressed by Chen Qingyuan's talent.

It took them several hours to accept this fact.

Just now, the emperors focused their attention on the strange black mist, only wanting to obtain immortality.

At this moment, with Mu Cangyan's words, all the deep, unfathomable gazes converged on Chen Qingyuan, scrutinizing and pondering him.

Although Chen Qingyuan could not see the several peak figures hidden in the shadows, he could sense that they were looking him up and down. His hair stood on end, and an indescribable sense of crisis washed over him.

This feeling is like an ordinary person falling into water, with a large amount of water entering their mouth and nose, making them feel suffocated and extremely uncomfortable.

Facing their deep gazes, Chen Qingyuan maintained his upright posture, his expression calm and unchanged.

Since you're going to watch it, then watch it properly!

There's nothing to be afraid of!

If you're so capable, then take action!

With powerful backers, Chen Qingyuan remained completely calm.

"That's not good!"

Gongsun Rong, standing to the side, felt a chill run down his spine when he was stared at by a powerful being, as if he had stepped into the abyss of death.

Gongsun Rong never expected that Chen Qingyuan would cause such big trouble. If he had known this would happen, he would never have dared to travel with Chen Qingyuan. Of course, he would have stayed as far away as possible.

Since things have come to this, we have no choice but to grit our teeth and bear it.

To speak up and distance oneself from Chen Qingyuan at this time is utterly brainless.

"Let's just go down this path to the bitter end!"

Gongsun Rong made up his mind, and even if he was implicated by Chen Qingyuan, he had nothing to regret.

A few breaths later, someone spoke up: "Chen Qingyuan is a genius unprecedented in all ages, with the potential of a quasi-emperor comparable to an unparalleled emperor."

Although he didn't know who was speaking, Chen Qingyuan heard it clearly. He remained calm and composed, saying, "Senior, you flatter me."

"What do you think I should choose?"

The person in the shadows posed this question to Chen Qingyuan, speaking coldly and without the slightest emotional fluctuation.

"do not know."

Chen Qingyuan said in a deep voice.

"What would you do if you were in that situation?"

The man asked again.

“Under normal circumstances, this deal would be very worthwhile. Senior only needs to do one thing to me to obtain the Origin Dao Leaf from the mythology, which will be of great benefit to my future cultivation.”

Since the other party really wanted to hear his opinion, Chen Qingyuan should answer seriously.

"What if it's not a normal situation?"

The man continued to ask.

"Forgive my bluntness, but I'm a vengeful person. If you seniors don't manage to kill me, then you'd better be careful in the future."

Chen Qingyuan's tone was calm, but carried a hint of threat.

Doom!

Gongsun Rong's heart skipped a beat. Although he had no heart, he did feel a real sense of dread.

What did I hear?

Brother Chen, are you threatening those at the pinnacle of the ultimate path?

Am I crazy, or is he crazy?

Gongsun Rong realized that he didn't know enough about Chen Qingyuan, and his whole body trembled slightly as he couldn't remain calm.

"Are you threatening us?"

A cold, eerie voice suddenly rang out.

"You seniors can think that way."

Chen Qingyuan readily admitted it.

"You're quite something, truly a once-in-a-lifetime genius. You have quite a temper, rather interesting."

Hearing Chen Qingyuan's threatening words, the four peak emperors did not show any contempt, but instead became extremely solemn.

Chen Qingyuan is qualified to say such things. Currently, he is only a Quasi-Emperor, yet he possesses terrifying strength no weaker than a half-step peak Great Emperor. Once he takes that step forward, his strength will be immeasurable.

"The choice is in the hands of you seniors."

Facing four peak-level beings, Chen Qingyuan showed no fear whatsoever.

The emperors remained silent, analyzing the advantages and disadvantages.

Normally, they would never want to provoke a prodigy like Chen Qingyuan. However, the allure of the Origin Dao Leaf was simply too great to ignore.

"If we are intimidated by you, wouldn't that damage the emperor's prestige?"

At that moment, a void shattered.

A middle-aged man dressed in dark robes appeared as if tearing through the void.

His face was covered in blue scales, and his vertical pupils exuded an extremely cold and eerie aura.

They've finally shown up!

Chen Qingyuan immediately shifted his gaze to meet his eyes, showing no fear: "Senior, you are welcome to make your move."

"You are arrogant."

The man with a face covered in blue scales is revered as the Blue Scale Saint King in his Great Thousand World. His true form is a blue snake born from nature, a creation of heaven and earth, born at the Golden Core stage.

Chen Qingyuan responded indifferently, "It's alright."

If it weren't for the extraordinary power emanating from the ancient bronze bell, the Azure Scale Saint King would most likely have already made his move. Based on his experience, this bronze bell was no ordinary instrument and should be treated with caution.

"If you weren't a little arrogant, you'd be wasting your extraordinary talent."

The Azure Scale Saint King's expression remained indifferent.

"I'll go all out against you, and no matter the outcome, I'll give you a little something as a gift. How about it?"

After much deliberation, the Azure Scale Saint Lord decided to discuss the matter with Chen Qingyuan. He desired the Origin Dao Leaf controlled by Mu Cangyan, but he was unwilling to become mortal enemies with Chen Qingyuan.
