The Two-Faced Venerate Emperor

Chapter 1368 – Ridicule

Actually, the Sages were not at fault as well. Who would have expected an ambush to happen during a meeting at which all Sages were gathered?

In the entire continent, except for the demons, any single Sage is a supreme existence!

A soft reply came, “An old friend.”

Old friend?

As everyone was hesitating, a bundle of rainbow colours appeared from the sky above the Holy Court.

The rainbow light scattered and revealed a dazzling phoenix and Lion Emperor Bai Chen Feng.

An old friend indeed?

Everyone gathered at the Holy Court were elites of humanity and had mostly guessed what was happening. Commotion exploded as discussions started.

The Sages displayed complicated expressions filled with various flavours.

From the looks of it, the strange phenomenon of the Demon Lands some time ago was likely due to this phoenix.

“Is it Lady Bai Li?”

Despite all the clues leading towards that conclusion, Poison Sage still asked.

“Why? Can it be that Lord Poison Sage is feeling regretful after seeing this lady?”

Huan Qing Yan’s phoenix form was continuously emitting a noble and proud aura. The air surrounding her constantly twist, making it hard for one to see clearly.

The Sages felt awe-inspired when witnessing that.

The legendary phoenix indeed possesses a strength that makes people feel awed.

When Poison Sage heard the reply, he instantly felt awkward.

He has been feeling doubt ever since Bai Chen Feng brought the Demon God Command to exchange for Huan Qing Yan.

He has been suspecting that he might have misunderstood Huan Qing Yan.

From the series of events that followed until the point Shang Qiu Meng Qian’s message was received. The Poison Sage confirmed that there was a misunderstanding.

He will be lying if he says he was not feeling guilty. Yet, he did not believe he was wrong, people of not my race will definitely have differing hearts.

However, when he saw the power that she was currently emitting. Even a Half-Sage like himself felt humbled, the other party cannot be underestimated.

When he thought about the rumours regarding Shang Qiu Brat having revived in the Demon Lands...

Poison Sage could only put away his face and continue, “Cough! Cough! I heard my clan’s Meng Qian, that brat, is in the hands of Lady Bai Li?”

Huan Qing Yan looked at him coldly.

Lion Emperor Bai Chen Feng swept a powerful gaze through the entire area before chuckling, “Poison Sage, your information is pretty up-to-date. That’s right, Young Master Shang Qiu is indeed in our hands, the demons. However, we did not imitate Poison Sage’s vicious methods. We did not bind Shang Qiu Meng Qian up and let him be the target of my fellow demons’ frustrations so that we can win them over!”

Poison Sage’s old face blushed.

He was indeed having such thoughts at that time because humanity was facing a crisis. Capturing a Greater Demon to allow the people who lost their families to vent their sorrows and anger can calm the population and spur morale.

From humanity’s point of view, his method was not wrong at all.

However, from the point of demons, it was indeed a bit too vicious.

“Those are separate matters. Our Shang Qiu Meng Qian had died to save people and was friends with Phoenix Emperor. If Phoenix Emperor has dissatisfaction with this old man, you can take it on me. Do not shift the anger towards Meng Qian.”

The giant phoenix image released a dizzy rainbow light, it was so beautiful that it felt as though one’s soul would be hooked away.

“To think that you still remember Shang Qian Meng Qian and I are friends, such is the craftiness of humans! When it is to their advantage, they will bring up friendships. When it is not, they forgot about it and will then use vicious methods! Poison Sage, you have thoroughly inherited humanity’s shameless genes and brought it to play really well. This Phoenix Emperor has gain knowledge.”

Poison Sage choked to the point of his face changing.

The Phoenix Emperor and Lion Emperor were emitting intense pressure while being unfeeling and aggressive with their ridicules.

Holy City possessed a grand formation that disallowed demons’ approach.
