Eternal Life as False Emperor

The qualification of Huiyue Demon Venerable was originally average, but it was forcibly elevated to the Golden Core Realm.

This shows just how much the Azure Moon Flame Emperor values his son.

"Senior brother... what should we do now?"

The old Daoist’s eyes were bloodshot: "What’s so great about the Enlightenment Stage? When have we at Wenxian Temple ever been afraid?"

Zui Jiu was overjoyed upon hearing this, "I knew it, Sect Leader Senior Brother is not someone who is timid or afraid of trouble."

"Our Mountain Protection Array might not be unable to withstand an attack from the Enlightenment Stage. Moreover, I have so many Daoist friends here to help."

Zui Jiu raised the Wine Gourd, and all those Golden Core Cultivators who had just been absorbed into the gourd were released.

It’s just that...

The state of these people didn’t seem to be very good.

Everyone had an unusual flush on their faces and staggered as they walked.

Some of them, hit by the cold wind, even started vomiting on the spot.

The smell of vomit mixed with a strong alcohol stench quickly enveloped the entire Wenxian Temple.

Zui Jiu’s old face turned red as he slapped the back of his head, "Oh no, I forgot that I used the Ruyi Gourd to store liquor before."

The old Daoist’s previously pale face suddenly turned beet red.

He pointed at Zui Jiu, trembling, unable to utter a word for a long time.

"Sect Leader Senior Brother, don’t get excited. It was an emergency at the time, so I forgot temporarily. Rest assured, it won’t happen again next time."

Zheng Yi was speechless. The real reason the old Daoist was angry, wasn’t it because this guy used a Magical Treasure to store liquor?

Getting so many cultivators drunk was just one of the consequences of this behavior, right?

"You little beast...little beast... someone come, tie this little beast up and send him directly to the Azure Moon Flame Emperor to atone for his sins."

Zui Jiu was dumbfounded, "Sect Leader Senior Brother, how can you be so heartless..."

Just as these two shameless old men were bickering, with a loud explosion, a huge fireball slammed directly into the Mountain Protection Array of Wenxian Temple.

The entire Wenxian Temple shook violently, and even an old, dilapidated building collapsed directly.

"Old bastard, hand over the murderer who killed my son, and I might consider sparing you."

"Otherwise, I will raze this rundown temple of yours to the ground, leaving no living being!"

"Don’t think that hiding in this shabby array can stop me."

"I am giving you ten breaths to consider, after which don’t blame me for a bloody massacre."

Zheng Yi eyed the Azure Moon Flame Emperor in the sky.

If not for him saying so himself, he really wouldn’t believe that this guy was the father of the withered and emaciated Huiyue Demon Venerable.

The Azure Moon Flame Emperor looked no different from an ordinary human, and his face was even quite handsome, appearing to be at most in his early thirties.

Dressed in magnificent robes, he looked quite imposing.

Zui Jiu turned his head, secretly took another swig of wine, and then asked the old Daoist, "Senior Brother, since the enemy is at our door, what do we do now?"

The old Daoist snorted disdainfully, "What else can we do? Do we really tie you up, this little beast, to appease him?"

"What if he is in the Divinity Transformation? I refuse to believe that he can single-handedly break through our Wenxian Temple’s Mountain Protection Array."

"Though you’ve caused trouble, managing to kill his son does give our Wenxian Temple some face."

Zui Jiu looked sheepishly, "Senior Brother, I wasn’t the one who killed that guy. It was..."

His gaze instinctively fell on Zheng Yi.

Zheng Yi internally cursed, knowing that even with a Mountain Protection Array in between, the Azure Moon Flame Emperor’s cultivation would make it impossible for him to miss their little gestures.

Quickly defending himself, "Senior Zui Jiu, I don’t have the ability to kill a Golden Core Expert, you know."

He wasn’t really trying to pass the blame, but under these circumstances, it was best to distract the Azure Moon Flame Emperor.

Just as Zheng Yi predicted, Zui Jiu’s glance was immediately caught by the Azure Moon Flame Emperor.

The next moment, endless killing intent descended directly upon Zheng Yi.

If not for the Pristine Human Emperor Body, Zheng Yi would suspect that he might be wiped out directly by the Azure Moon Flame Emperor’s killing intent.

Zui Jiu promptly positioned himself between Zheng Yi and the Azure Moon Flame Emperor.

Yet before Zui Jiu could react, the Azure Moon Flame Emperor sneered, "A mere Mid-stage Crystal cultivator was able to kill my useless son?"

"Even if you’re looking for someone to impersonate, you should find someone credible."

"Do you take me for a fool by pushing forward a Crystal stage?"

Zheng Yi spread his hands innocently, as if telling Zui Jiu and the old Daoist, "I really didn’t kill Huiyue Demon Venerable, and even saying so, the opponent wouldn’t believe it."

Zheng Yi spoke without any pressure; after all, he merely lured the Resentment Book Demon Monarch into the encirclement of human cultivators.

The actual killer of Huiyue Demon Venerable was someone else.

Not to mention the Azure Moon Flame Emperor, even the old Daoist didn’t really believe that Zheng Yi could kill Huiyue Demon Venerable.

A breath of time passed in the blink of an eye.

Seeing no response from Wenxian Temple, the Azure Moon Flame Emperor was furious.

"Fine, fine, fine! Since you lot are so determined to shield the murderer, don’t blame me for being ruthless."

Having said this, the Azure Moon Flame Emperor launched an all-out assault on the Sect Array of Wenxian Temple.

The disciples of Wenxian Temple felt as if they were inside an Alchemy Furnace, surrounded by flames from all directions.

Under the continuous assault of the Azure Moon Flame Emperor, the grand array, meant for defending against other sects, was on the verge of collapsing from his lone assault.

"Damn, worthy of the Enlightenment Stage, his power really isn’t all talk." Zui Jiu anxiously rushed over to replenish the Spiritual Qi for the Mountain Protection Array.

Every sect’s chosen location has been carefully selected and blessed with abundant Spiritual Qi for cultivation, and during array setup, formations are designed to draw Spiritual Qi from the Spirit Veins.

Thus, the Mountain Protection Array is undoubtedly the strongest defensive mechanism of any sect.

But now...

Just one person is already causing the array to totter dangerously.

If left unchecked, it’s only a matter of time before the Mountain Protection Array is breached.

Under normal circumstances, a breach isn’t catastrophic.

The arrays draw from the Spiritual Qi of the Spirit Veins, as long as the Veins aren’t destroyed, Spiritual Qi will replenish endlessly.

At most, the array needs minor repairs to quickly restart.

The current problem is that once the sect’s Guardian Array is breached, before it can be repaired, the Azure Moon Flame Emperor could slaughter them all.

"Two Elders, at this time of the sect’s survival, please lend us a hand."

The old Daoist, sharper than Zui Jiu, immediately called for reinforcements.

"You youngsters always expect us to clean up your mess when you cause trouble," an even older cultivator landed in Qingxin Hall, riding on the wind.

"Picked a fight with an Enlightenment Stage expert, are you hoping we die sooner?" another Daoist, with a hoarse voice and walking with a cane, quickly arrived.

Despite their harsh words, upon arriving at Qingxin Hall, they immediately began assisting Zui Jiu in maintaining the Mountain Protection Array.

With their help, the previously unstable array finally stabilized again.

Outside the array, the Azure Moon Flame Emperor gnashed his teeth, becoming more aggressive and ferocious: "Very well, let’s see how long you useless creatures can hold out."

Continuous explosions nearly merged into a single chain reaction.

Even with magical power protecting their ears, the noise remained piercingly loud.

Others fared slightly better, but the cultivators just released from Zui Jiu’s Wine Gourd weren’t so lucky.

Stimulated by the sounds, they began vomiting uncontrollably again.

In fact, upon discovering their intoxicated state, the old Daoist had instructed the Daoist Child to administer sobriety elixirs.

Yet, Zui Jiu had undoubtedly stored something potent in the gourd.

Despite several elixirs being consumed, the people grew even more inebriated rather than sober.

The previously pristine entrance to Qingxin Hall was now littered with vomit.

Disciples with lower cultivation were unable to function properly, thus no one was cleaning up, leaving a chaotic mess.
