However, their changing expressions did not escape Yanxu's gaze. She immediately sensed that these people were hiding something from her!
She immediately came before Wang Teng and placed a foot on his head.
"Where is the Human Emperor Cauldron?"
Feeling such humiliation, Wang Teng felt a surge of rage about to erupt.
He was already an extremely proud person, and having his head stepped on, his heart was filled with extreme indignation.
But the gap in strength was too obvious. He had no way to fight back, and most likely, even if he did, he wouldn't be able to inflict any damage.
However, he could still mock her: "Heh... this is really... ridiculous. You are the Human Emperor... and you're asking me?"
After Yanxu discovered that the Human Emperor Cauldron was not on Chu Yang, she assumed it had been returned to Blue Star to suppress its destiny.
As it turned out, after returning, she was too busy showing off and forgot about the Human Emperor Cauldron.
This item was very important to her, extremely important.
No wonder she always felt that after becoming the Human Emperor, she wasn't much stronger than she had imagined. The Human Emperor Cauldron was missing.
When Chu Yang fought Valieva, his combat power with and without the Human Emperor Cauldron was vastly different. This item was too crucial, as all of humanity's destiny was concentrated there.
The Human Emperor Cauldron was humanity's destiny itself; the Human Emperor was merely its user.
But the two should have been interconnected. The Human Emperor and the Human Emperor Cauldron had a connection. Chu Yang had previously been able to summon it back into his hands from the distant third Immortal Cultivation World.
Yet, Yanxu had never sensed the presence of the Human Emperor Cauldron. So, where did the problem lie?
Her possession of Chu Yang was not just a physical one; she had assimilated Chu Yang's soul as well.
The only possibility was that before Yanxu arrived in front of Chu Yang, Chu Yang had already separated the Human Emperor Cauldron from himself.
Although Yanxu was always called an idiot by Shitian, she still possessed some ability to think.
"He absolutely doesn't want me to be recognized as the Human Emperor, but whether I am or not, the result is the same. This universe has no human who can contend with me..."
Yanxu's expression changed slightly as she recalled her last conversation with Chu Yang.
Humans had a special, unconditional trust for the Human Emperor.
But this sentiment had not transferred to her after her possession was successful. Otherwise, these humans would not have shown such expressions when facing her.
"To deal with me, he had to create a new Creator. The Human Emperor Cauldron... The Human Emperor Cauldron has taken my authority. He wants to use the Human Emperor Cauldron to create a god! That's why he stalled for time!"
Yanxu abruptly stood up and looked at everyone pinned to the ground by her.
"Where is Li Qingyun?"
No one answered her. The only response she received was a series of faces filled with mockery.
Even if they knew, they wouldn't tell her.
Earlier, in her anger, she had killed tens of thousands of cultivators from Blue Star, all below the Mahayana stage.
Even so, after the killings, she felt a sense of rejection from the Human Emperor's power within her.
It was then that she understood that the Human Emperor's path was actually a restraint to her.
It prevented her from acting freely against humans. But if she didn't act, her plans couldn't be implemented. She didn't want to slowly cultivate like Chu Yang, boiling the frog in warm water.
"So powerful, Chu Yang. To leave me such a big problem even after death!"
Yanxu's tone grew colder: "You think I won't know if you don't tell me? The Book of Plane Anchors is in Li Qingyun's hands, isn't it? Heh, that was something I created. Where does he think he can hide?"
Her gaze pierced through layers of barriers, transcending space and dimensions, tracing back to the fourteenth Immortal Cultivation World.
It was a desolate world, a place where Wang Teng and Xiao Long had gone for trials, and also Zhuang Hongxia's homeland.
And Li Qingyun was there.
Yanxu sneered, "I'll deal with you all after I obtain the complete Human Emperor Dao!"
"Whoosh—"
With a flash of red light, Yanxu's figure vanished.
Even if the others wanted to stop her, they couldn't, as they were all immobilized.
Wang Teng suffered the worst, his entire head bloody and mangled.
But as they looked at each other, they all started to laugh.
"Haha! This bastard can't kill us!"
"She didn't kill me even after I insulted her like this. Big Brother Xian is truly amazing!"
"Is Big Brother Xian really dead?"
"Shut up! Big Brother Xian kept everything from us. How could he die without saying a word?"
Luo Xiaowei said with difficulty, "Then where did Brother Qingyun go?"
Shen Yingxue thought for a moment and said, "Didn't you notice something off about Qingyun's strength when we were fighting together?"
"What was off?" Everyone's gaze shifted to Shen Yingxue.
"Since he became an Immortal Emperor, he seemed to have been holding back his strength. Moreover, I noticed that his 'Creation Power' actually resembled Big Brother Xian's power a bit..."
"Resemble?"
Everyone looked at each other, not having that impression.
Shen Yingxue said seriously, "Yes, and I even noticed that they were secretly communicating. I knew then that they were hiding something from us!"
"Then why didn't you say something earlier?"
"I think... Big Brother Xian might have done it to protect us. Only now, he might be reluctant to kill us due to his weakened strength."
"If that's the case, then Brother Qingyun should be the backup plan left by Big Brother Xian, right? I feel so useless..."
They tried to break free, but unfortunately, they couldn't.
The red spears embedded in them had locked down all their movements.
After understanding some things, they felt less despair.
As for whether Chu Yang was truly dead, they were hesitant to think about it.
However, their trust in Chu Yang remained unwavering. They believed that since Chu Yang had a backup plan, the outsider who called herself the Human Emperor would definitely not be able to defeat him!
The cultivators of Blue Star had not yet recovered from their fear. After Yanxu left, many began to weep.
Nearly sixty thousand people, who had opposed her, were killed by Yanxu's own hand.
"I hate that person..."
"She's not human at all. How can someone like this be the Human Emperor?"
"If Big Brother Xian were here, he would never let us end up like this..."
"Shush, stop talking. Be careful she hears and comes back!"
"......"
Although Yanxu had temporarily left, the shadow she cast still loomed over everyone...
