Chapter 633 - Surrounded From All Sides
While all the commotion was happening, the only person who didn"t retreat to check out the explosions was Jason. To him, he felt getting to Grey and his friends was more important.
He opened the door, only to see Grey and his friends standing in the middle of an array that had already been lit up. His eyes bulged when he saw Grey"s perfect condition, and his heart sank.
He wanted to turn around, but an eerie voice resounded in his ears, "Since you"re already here, why don"t you come with us?"
Jason hastily closed the door, but his expression changed when his scenery changed, and he was held by Grey, and a small black cat could be seen, playing with what seemed to be the Emperor"s crown.
This was the same crown the Emperor was wearing, but now it was on Void"s hand.
"Don"t tell me this cat is the cause of all the problems?" Jason asked internally, stunned by the prospect.
Boom!
The roof of the room was destroyed, but by the time the twins appeared, Grey and his friends had teleported away from their grasp.
The Emperor and his entourage appeared there a few seconds late. On getting there, the first thing he noticed was the disappearance of Jason.
"Where"s Jason?" He turned to the Sage Plane experts by his head.
One of them wanted to reply, but on looking at the appearance of the Emperor, he was stunned beyond words.
"Robert, what"s the meaning of this?" Jason"s Grandfather asked coldly.
All three old men were present here, and the current Emperor was wearing a crown made from animal skin. How could he not get upset?
"What?" The Emperor asked, confused by his father"s sudden question.
An ice mirror appeared in front of him, and he was stunned, before taking the crown off his head.
"How… what?" He asked, flabbergasted.
If he were the only one who didn"t notice when his crown was changed, it would"ve been his own negligence, but now, even the Sage Plane experts with him didn"t know as well.
"Who did this?" He was infuriated.
"They"re already gone. Looks like this person took Jason as well," One of the twins said, he was the one who was originally an Emperor.
"Brother, what do we do now?" His twin brother asked.
"We can"t proceed with the execution any longer, and since… wait, do you sense that?" The old man who was in the middle of speaking froze before looking in the south.
His wrinkled face showed glee.
His twin brother nodded to his question.
"Looks like lady luck is on our side," He burst out laughing before taking flight.
"Robert, tell your subjects the location of the execution has been moved. Whoever wants to watch can come, but at their own risk," The Emperor"s father said.
The Emperor nodded his head before sending someone to the arena to announce the change of location.
….
Some kilometers away from the Qilin Empire"s Capital City.
A fissure appeared in the sky and Grey and his friends were forcefully thrown out.
"Void, what happened?" Grey asked hurriedly.
He had tried teleporting them to a separate location, but the spatial tunnel was destroyed mid-way, if not for Void"s quick reaction, they would"ve been caught in spatial turbulence.
This was Grey"s first time experiencing an interruption in teleportation, and it was very risky.
"We have company," Void"s reply was gloomy.
They turned around, only to see six figures in black cloaks.
"It"s them!" Klaus and Reynolds exclaimed simultaneously.
Grey hastily contacted the Princ.i.p.al, while cautiously staring at their opponents.
But before the six individuals could move forward. The twins" aura was felt approaching them in a domineering manner.
Not just that, but twelve more domineering auras could be felt coming from afar.
Jason looked at the people dressed in black cloaks, and a look of apprehension appeared on his face. The eerie feeling he was getting from them sent chills down his spine.
Grey quickly sealed Jason"s cultivation before exiting the Fusion State. Since he didn"t use it for long, he could use it again without causing significant damage to his body.
Since they have the Crown Prince of the Qilin Empire, they should at least be able to bargain with the Emperor to let them go for Jason"s safety.
The twins were the first to arrive, with the other Sage Plane Elementalists as well as the Emperor arriving a few seconds later.
They stood opposite the black cloaked group, with Grey and his friends in the middle. But no one said a word, the reason for this was that they could all sense powerful auras arriving from different angles.
Before long, the figures arrived, and it was none other than the Emperors of the other three empires, and their own Sage Plane Elementalists.
They all stood in four different positions, and Grey and his friends were in the middle of their encirclement.
Grey"s expression was bleak. This was not a good outcome for them. Although they wouldn"t be instantly executed like the group from the Qilin Empire originally wanted to do, their outcome didn"t look good either way.
"I never thought you two would still be alive?" An old man from the Azure Empire stepped forward and glanced at the twins from the Qilin Empire.
"Hehe, old Frost, if even you are still alive, why would we die?" The old man amongst the twins who was the Emperor said with a chuckle.
"It"s been a while, old friends," An old man stepped out from the side of the Stellar Empire.
He was dressed very modestly, with his hands clapped together. From one look, one would think he was a simple scholar, but everyone who knew him knows that he was a bloodthirsty demon.
"Since everyone is here, there is no use in delaying any further. There are four youths who are suspected of consuming the Great Earth Essence Liquid. Coincidentally, there are also four empires here. Why don"t each take an individual, and call it a day?" The Emperor of the Blue Wind Empire suggested.
