Ye Kai held the Girl in his arms and spun around twice, making her giggle uncontrollably. Then, he subtly exchanged a glance with Li Shimin.
These damned creatures had not given him a moment to deal with them, yet they had the audacity to come knocking on his door.
The Rhinoceros was indeed in trouble, but what was even more despicable was that there was an Egg inside her. He had encountered such things when he was confidently navigating the world.
Moreover, when the deity was present, he had specifically analyzed the concepts of 'Gu' and 'poison' for him.
Now, not only did the Rhinoceros have 'Gu' within her, but she was also poisoned. This was a three-year-old child; looking at the delicate little one who could barely speak clearly, how could they dare to resort to such vile means?!
Ye Kai's killing intent surged.
"Liulang, what's going on?" Li Shimin appeared to smile warmly as he watched the uncle and nephew playfully tussle, but secretly communicated through sound.
"Elder Brother, whatever I say next, do not be surprised! There are spies in the Wangfu..."
At this point, Ye Kai suddenly paused. He sensed a strange aura lurking in the shadows, so he cautiously transmitted his thoughts: "Elder Brother, someone has poisoned her. The Rhinoceros has Gu poison inside her; it has been there for at least three months. Also, someone is secretly watching in Plum Garden."
"Pfft!"
Bloodlight flickered in Li Shimin's eyes as his hands clenched tightly. If it weren't for Ye Kai's prior warning and precautions, he might have completely erupted by now.
The Rhinoceros was his most beloved daughter and the most cherished Princess Jinyang among the ministers; how could anyone dare to harm her and keep it from him?
This meant that there were hidden enemies even within the Taiyi Hospital?
Very well!
Taking advantage of the presence of two Grandmaster-level figures in the Hall of Offerings, these demons and monsters had all come out. Very well indeed!
“Elder Brother, don’t worry, Rhinoceros is here with me. It’s just a mere control spirit’s trick!”
The most important thing now was the person lurking in the shadows. This individual could hide so close without being detected by the two Nascent Soul Stage Buddhist Practitioners beside him, which likely meant that they possessed a treasure that concealed their aura.
Thus, Ye Kai exchanged a glance with Li Er and chuckled, “Elder Brother, what do you think of my Plum Garden? Oh, I forgot, this was originally arranged by Second Sister-in-law. I wonder if there are any interesting stories behind it?”
Li Shimin clasped his hands behind his back and slowly walked to the massive Plum Tree in the center. He reached out to stroke it a few times, as if reminiscing, and murmured, “This place was actually built by me and the Guanyin Stele together; it’s just that not many people know about it, heh heh…”
At this point, he shook his head and stopped speaking further.
Ye Kai felt as if he were looking into a clear mirror; at this moment, he almost couldn’t help but applaud Li Er’s acting skills. So he approached Rhinoceros with feigned curiosity and asked, “Did Elder Brother and Second Sister-in-law personally plant all these trees in such a large garden? I can’t believe that.”
Li Er’s palm resting on the tree trunk gradually took on a jade-like sheen, and a strange light flickered in his eyes. After tilting his head to sense something for a moment, he suddenly spoke up, “Everyone knows the power of the Peach Blossom Barrier; however… Ten Thousand Plum Formation, activate!!!”
“Boom!”
With Li Er’s thunderous shout, a circle of Light Screens surged up around the entire Plum Garden, completely isolating it from the outside world.
“Damn ants, I will make you pay for this!!!”
As this roar echoed through the air, the entire Plum Garden trembled violently.
“Chirp chirp chirp!”
Near one of the Plum Trees, branches began to shoot out like sharp swords, stabbing into the empty space around them. In an instant, a thick Blood Mist erupted.
Yet there was no sign of any living beings; moreover, that Blood Mist began to infect large patches of ground and several Plum Trees nearby until they withered away completely.
Suddenly, Ye Kai felt a twitch in his eyelids. He turned abruptly to find that the two Bald Giants beside him had clumsily fallen to the ground without knowing when they had been silently injured.
“Ehehe!”
“Brother Void Sea, Brother Empty Formalities, what’s wrong? Do you need me to lend you a hand?”
At that moment, Ye Kai heard a crisp and melodious gender-neutral voice. A few meters away, the trunk of a Plum Tree began to ripple like water, and in the blink of an eye, a figure clad in a bright red robe slowly emerged.
“Bold wretch! How dare you refine demonic powers using the relics of a high monk!” The monk from Void Sea, with bloodstains on his gray robe, looked furious, resembling an enraged deity.
“Bodhisattva, this person is a castaway from Buddhism. Somehow, he has obtained the relics of a high monk and turned to the Demonic Path. Now he embodies both Buddha and demon, with formidable powers that are difficult to defend against!” Empty Formalities struggled to rise, one hand clutching his chest while he stood protectively in front of Ye Kai.
“Bodhisattva?”
The figure in the red robe covered their cherry lips as if shy, their seductive eyes widening in surprise. “Oh my, so it turns out to be ‘Bodhisattva.’ Come here quickly; let me take good care of you.”
“Human or demon!”
Ye Kai felt a chill run down his spine as he slowly backed away while holding onto the Rhinoceros. He noticed that Li Er’s face had turned ashen, but the bloodlust in his eyes was gradually intensifying. Ye Kai understood that this was not just some demonic power; it was the murderous intent boiling within him.
“Human or demon? Hehehe…”
The figure in the red robe let out a series of bell-like laughs before their tone suddenly darkened and became rough like a broken gong. “Bodhisattva, pfft! You little brat are just ‘human or demon’ Hundred Monarchs. Be smart and hand over the girl, and also self-destruct your cultivation. Otherwise, I will slaughter everyone in your household without leaving a trace.”
Ye Kai felt powerless to retort; they really did have that nickname—there was no denying it!
“Just based on you!!!”
Li Er was nearly enraged to the point of explosion as he stepped forward. His right palm lifted upward, and then an imposing square seal appeared out of thin air, radiating boundless golden light. He shouted, “Ants, die!!!”
“Human Emperor Seal!”
"Is that really the Ancient Human Dao Supreme Treasure, the Human Emperor Seal? How could it possibly still exist?"
The moment he saw the treasure seal in Li Er's hand, the Hundred Monarchs seemed completely stimulated, shouting in a high-pitched voice.
The Human Emperor Seal?!
Ye Kai's body trembled. This is the Human Emperor Seal?
This should be the Imperial Seal from legends, so why has it become the Human Emperor Seal?
In the Great Tang, the Imperial Seal...
"He Shi Bi?!"
Wait a minute!
According to legend, during the Early Tang period, Emperor Taizong Li Shimin did not have a national seal, so he ordered the creation of the Heavenly Seal, known as the "Imperial Mandate," stating that those with virtue would prosper, along with various jade seals like 'Divine Treasure' and 'Mandate Treasure' for consolation.
It wasn't until the fourth year of Zhenguan, which corresponds to AD 630, that Li Jing led an army to attack the Turkic.
In March, he captured Khan Jieli and annihilated them.
That same year, Empress Xiao and Yang Zhengdao returned to the Central Plains, and the national seal was returned to Li Tang.
But now, it's only been a few months since the Xuanwu Gate Incident?
Wait a minute, Turkic?
Ye Kai couldn't help but laugh at himself; he had truly forgotten that this was another world—a realm filled with immortals and demons. Moreover, it seemed there was no such ethnicity as Turkic here; there was only a Turkic Kingdom, but it was merely a kingdom and did not dare to make any bold moves.
With Li Er's ruthlessness and methods, finding the Imperial Seal would not be a difficult task!
Both Void Sea and Empty Formalities were deeply shaken, but they soon breathed a sigh of relief. With the Human Emperor Seal in hand, even the overwhelming magic of the Hundred Monarchs would not pose a threat.
They were well aware of the power of the Human Emperor Seal, which had been passed down through generations among the older generation. Remembering the descriptions, they couldn't help but silently chant a Buddhist mantra. A mere Nascent Soul Stage Demon Cultivator was truly insufficient to withstand even a light imprint from it.
At this moment, only moments had passed since many powerful cultivators had left, yet they saw an immeasurable radiance illuminating the sky, accompanied by a grand presence descending upon them. The numerous experts couldn't help but be astonished once again.
This time, the Qin Wangfu had indeed stirred up a great commotion. Many sect leaders and masters recalled past events, their hearts stirred with excitement as they returned once more.
In the past, a terrifying divine war had occurred in the Nine Provinces, shaking the earth to its core. It was said that True Immortals were shattered into pieces by the Human Emperor Seal upon their descent. Later, an emperor who ruled over ninety realms gathered the fortune of humanity during the Human Slaughter Time, and the Representative of Humanity's Emperor lost the Human Emperor Seal in the final battle.
According to ancient legends, that final battle shook the very ground itself. Supreme masters contended in realms beyond, while countless disciples fought for their lives on earth. Demons and monsters flooded into the world; it was akin to a Hundred Clans War.
Any sect that still possessed Ancient Chronicles was horrified because that battle resulted in more than just one or two supreme treasures being lost or shattered.
Many unknown artifacts scattered far and wide until they were fortuitously discovered later, leading to the emergence of numerous sects.
Everyone believed that the Human Emperor Seal had been destroyed.
Little did they expect it to reappear today, and astonishingly at Tang Empire's Qin Wangfu!
Thinking of the two men still within the palace, everyone felt their hearts ignite with fervor, their eyes almost bursting with boundless flames.
As long as they received an edict from His Majesty of Tang Empire, their sect would take root and flourish in this vast nation spanning hundreds of thousands of miles, even unleashing infinite light and heat.
As long as either of those two men spoke up, it would be so.
They must compete!
In an instant, all nearby Sects, major forces, leaders, and mountain lords became vigilant, their bodies shimmering with various Treasures of Light, fearful of being ambushed at this critical moment, which would only benefit others.
Who wouldn't fight for such an opportunity?!
For the major Sect forces to develop, they inevitably relied on 'people', whether disciples or others; as long as one was not truly an immortal, one could not escape humanity and the mortal world.
…
“Roar!”
The Human Emperor Seal awakened, a beam of light shooting into the sky. As several miniature dragons roared around the great seal, the entire royal residence trembled. The golden radiance of humanity intertwined to reveal profound truths that spread across the ground!
With a tremendous crash, an illusory great seal descended. The legendary Human Emperor Seal finally unleashed its unparalleled power, dominating all things.
In that moment, except for the thirty-meter tall Plum Tree behind Ye Kai, the entire Plum Garden collapsed in an instant, leaving nothing behind.
The Demon Hundred Ministers let out a piercing scream; under this boundless might, their forms and spirits were obliterated, reduced to ashes by the Human Emperor Seal, leaving nothing in its wake.
