Chapter 1068: The Evil Emperor’s Trap

“Fengling!”
“Hurry and inform the sect leader! The Qin Demon Fengling has appeared!!”
“Brothers, get ready to act!”
As soon as Fengling came into sight of the crowded streets filled with martial artists, it immediately caught the attention of the First-Class Sect. Amidst the roaring chaos, crowds surged, and teams arranged by Mengyun quickly took control of the streets and rooftops on both sides.
The First-Class Sect’s forces blocked Fengling’s group’s path with an army of thousands…
Whoosh! Whoosh whoosh!!
Strong bows bent into full moons, radiating intense killing intent. The safe area instantly turned into a deadly place, as if it were a dragon’s den or tiger’s lair, ready to attack the moment Fengling entered range.
Yet, even after Fengling and his group entered attack range, no one dared shoot easily—there was only one reason.
Kai Xin led four masters at the Mythical Realm level at the forefront. The five of them fought fiercely, inadvertently providing significant cover for Fengling’s group—crossing paths with these masters from the four enforcement agencies would be no small matter.
Offending them normally might be tolerable, but this was the capital, under the emperor’s rule. Anyone who obstructed or attacked law enforcers would face severe punishment!
Fighting these influential and renowned masters in public was tantamount to seeking death. Although Kai Xin’s side was important, if the battle dragged on, they might send someone else to deal with those who provoked them.
Protected by the four Mythical Realm masters and guarded by Yi Di and Wu Kuo, Fengling’s group made smooth progress toward the street entrance.
At that moment, Kai Xin, who had been silently fighting against the four Mythical Realm masters, spoke out loudly:
“Martial arts peers! Kai Xin needs to use this road. If you’re not from the First-Class Sect, please retreat to nearby restaurants or shops to avoid being caught in the crossfire… Those who stay in the street after three counts, be careful!”
Upon hearing this, the martial artists watching in the street immediately became agitated.
Many had realized earlier that Kai Xin might try to break through here and had already retreated to nearby rooftops. Now, the remaining people hurriedly fled to nearby shops and restaurants, with a few even using light skills to fly dozens of meters away to observe from afar.
The entire street was now filled only with the tense forces of the First-Class Sect, appearing much emptier!
“Go!”
After three counts, Kai Xin pushed aside the four Mythical Realm masters with a powerful move and dashed forward like lightning, charging straight at the First-Class Sect’s fierce defense line.
Without hesitation, he charged into battle!

“Don’t shoot arrows!”
Seeing Happy charging over with murderous intent, the leaders panicked immediately. Despite some raising their voices in warnings, others were overwhelmed by Happy’s palpable killing aura and, under its intense pressure, accidentally released their arrows!
Damn it!
Many made mistakes due to tension.
As a few people started shooting, those around them thought it was a signal and began firing as well!
Whoosh! Whoosh whoosh…
What started as a few arrows quickly turned into a torrential downpour of arrows.
Although the group’s target was Happy, Lingbo Weibu combined with his Dragon Form to easily evade the attacks. Most of the arrows flew toward the four Mythical Realm experts behind him!
“Dare you!!!”
A shrillfury shout echoed through the crowd.
The pale-faced eunuch was originally the second-in-command of the Eastern Depot, holding a high status and an arrogant attitude. Now, allied with three other experts yet unable to defeat this unknown scoundrel, he was already filled with anger and resentment. Seeing the arrows raining down from the crowd, he erupted like a volcano!
“You treacherous martial artists! What do you think the capital is? The emperor’s realm! How dare you gather to commit violence and attack imperial officials! Do you even respect the court or imperial authority?”
What met him was a second wave of arrows and the desperate words from the First-Class Hall disciples:
“Damn it!”
“Since we’ve already offended them, let’s just kill this dead eunuch too!”
Hearing the words “dead eunuch,” the pale-faced eunuch flew into a rage! He grabbed the air with both hands, unleashing a Sunflower Aura that deflected the arrows aside.
“A bunch of traitors!”
He immediately left Happy behind and turned his attention toward the First-Class Hall.
The other three Mythical Realm experts, though less aggressive, also made it clear through their actions that they were furious.
As they passed by several First-Class Hall disciples, streams of smoke ignited them instantly, causing them to scream in pain…
Zhuque pierced the throats of several First-Class Hall disciples in quick succession;
The only one who didn’t act was the expert from the Western Depot. Seeming to know that these people’s true target wasn’t him, he shattered part of the roof to dislodge the arrows flying at them, his eyes still fixed on Happy, who was speeding ahead, closely following.
Happy wouldn’t be gentle in his attacks.
After all, he had already killed thousands under the emperor’s rule—his crimes were grave. If captured, he would face a month in prison. So from the start, he charged straight into the densest area.

Yipintang’s defense line was instantly torn apart by Kai Xin… Wherever he passed, people fell to the ground! With their formation shattered, Yi Di, Wu Kuo, and the others protected Feng Ling, easily blocking the arrow showers coming from both sides. Although Feng Ling was under heavy protection, her hands were also busy. Holding the zither in one hand, she swiftly plucked strings to create streams of sound blades, shoving aside most of the arrows in the air. The group quickly broke through and moved over a hundred meters away from the street. Suddenly! Kai Xin, who was leading the way, stopped. Now, only three people remained behind him. The hot-tempered second-in-command of the Eastern Depot, the “Pale Eunuch,” took the initiative to chase after those Yipintang disciples who dared to challenge his authority. With one less expert at the late Mythical Realm level, the pressure decreased significantly. But that wasn’t why Kai Xin turned around. “Come out!” Yi Di led his group to stop ten meters away from Kai Xin and shouted loudly, “Evil Emperor!” As soon as those words were spoken, an overwhelming pressure descended from the sky! Wu Kuo and the others were shocked as the pressure surged!! Turning their gaze, they saw a man with silver hair silently appearing on the roof to the left, looking down at them with a disdainful expression. “I knew you couldn’t hide from my spies.” The Evil Emperor crossed his arms and looked at Yi Di as if seeing an old friend. “Your strength seems to have improved since last time.” Then his gaze shifted to Kai Xin, who was struggling to fend off the attacks of three Mythical Realm experts. With the appearance of the Evil Emperor, a hint of tension appeared on Yi Di’s face. His voice deepened as he said, “Choose a place. Let’s fight.” “I want to kill you anytime, anywhere. But this time, my target isn’t you. If you’re sensible, hand over that girl behind you.” “Delusion!” Under the mental pressure of the Evil Emperor’s “Sowing Demons in the Heart,” Wu Kuo and the others could only surround Feng Ling with their bodies. Wu Kuo gritted his teeth and retorted. At the same time, Feng Ling’s zither music stopped abruptly. Under the pressure of the Evil Emperor, she couldn’t remain calm and anxiously stared at the enemy on the roof. “Heh…” The Evil Emperor smiled. Then his smile faded. “You can’t even protect yourself. Do you think you can save that girl’s life in front of me?” “If I don’t try, how will I know?” Yi Di’s expression became solemn as he slowly drew out his long black sword from its sheath. A faint sword chant, initially barely audible beneath the Evil Emperor’s mental pressure, grew louder and louder…

Yi Di seemed to grow taller as well, and with his increasingly sharp gaze, a fierce sword intent rose like a peak, countering the Evil Emperor’s mental pressure.
“Not bad.”
The Evil Emperor was momentarily stunned before sneering and saying, “I didn’t expect your will to be even stronger than last time—already able to withstand my pressure…”
He paused for a moment before adding, “But to block my attack, you’ll have to use those subsequent sword techniques… I’m curious how long you can protect her.”
From his elevated position, that tangible pressure suddenly intensified greatly! As soon as he finished speaking, the Evil Emperor clenched his hand in mid-air, and a mental storm swept toward Wind Bell and her group with incredible speed.
“Hmph!”
Yi Di’s speed was already among the fastest in the martial world. Sensing the Evil Emperor’s attack, he didn’t move at all—instead, a sword energy tinged with purple and black created a streak of fractured light in the air.
The mental storm seemed to be split apart by a heavy sword; most of its attack was neutralized mid-air, with the remaining force passing by Yi Di and his group like a gust of wind, no longer posing any threat.
“Very good! Take another strike.”
Unfazed, the Evil Emperor laughed heartily as he clenched his hands in mid-air, conjuring two swirling mental storms.
With a flash of darkness, Happy darted out from between the three top experts, swinging a black iron sword downward at the Evil Emperor…
Boom!!
The roof of the entire shop collapsed instantly.
The Evil Emperor recoiled several meters, his expression grim, as he stared at Happy warily. “Don’t you think you’ve caused enough trouble?” If not for Happy’s abnormally thick life energy field and the fact that Wind Bell was the target this time, he would have sent Happy straight to the capital’s prison right away.
But he clearly didn’t know that Happy had been waiting in the shadows for this moment. As long as the Evil Emperor attacked someone in the safe zone, in the eyes of the four Mythical Realm experts, he would no longer be an ordinary citizen but an enemy who dared to provoke the court and imperial authority.
“Just you alone, thinking you can kill someone in front of me and Yi Di? That’s way too naive…” Happy mercilessly shot back the Evil Emperor’s mockery at Yi Di.
The Evil Emperor was about to reply when he suddenly realized that Happy’s movement had brought him close to the experts of the Six Gates Sect and Zhu Que—two powerful gusts of wind attacked him suddenly!
Although Yan Lao and Zhu Que had come for Happy, seeing a foreign warrior committing violence in the capital right in front of them, they promptly shifted their targets.

By the time the Evil Emperor realized he had fallen into Happy’s clever scheme, he was already trapped between two masters of the mythical realm. His brows furrowed, his face turning pale and blue in turn, forcing him to take action to defend himself. Helplessly, he watched as Happy casually landed on a nearby roof, losing the chance to attack Wind Chime. Meanwhile, the group arranged by Meng Yun, seeing the Evil Emperor trapped and Happy and the Emperor gathered together, wisely chose to watch as they flew away…
