69: Chapter 69 The Zhao Family's Grand Formation Locks Them Down, Little Doom is Imminent

Thirty miles outside the city, in a valley.

Patriarch Zhao Wuji stood at the center of the array eye, with a dense crowd behind him!

Three Quasi-Emperors, twelve Eternal Realm experts, thirty-six Saint Kings, and over a hundred Saints!

This was the entire force the Zhao Family could mobilize.

To kill a single junior in the Sovereign Realm, he had brought out the entire foundation of the Zhao Family!

"Patriarch, everyone has arrived!" Zhao Kun stepped forward and knelt on one knee!

Patriarch Zhao Wuji opened his eyes. "Where is that brat?"

"He just left Zuixian Restaurant and is heading out of the city!"

"Keep a close watch on him!"

"Yes."

Zhao Kun withdrew.

Patriarch Zhao Wuji looked up at the distant horizon; he had been waiting for several days!

Ever since the moment Zhao Ritian's life tablet shattered, he had fallen into madness!

Patriarch Zhao Wuji muttered, "Ritian! Father will avenge you today!"

Behind him, two white-haired Elders remained silent, closing their eyes to rest.

Twelve Eternal Realm experts stood on both sides, their auras incredibly powerful!

Over a hundred Saints were lined up in formation, their spiritual power surging!

This was the entire combat power the Zhao Family had accumulated over so many years!

In the Central Plains, it was enough to crush any force below the Emperor Clans!

Even if an Emperor Clan wanted to go head-to-head, they would likely have to weigh the consequences!

Now, it was all being used to deal with a young man at the first level of the Sovereign Realm!

It could be said that he was giving him plenty of Face!

"Even if that brat has three heads and six arms, he has to die here today!" a Eternal Realm expert whispered.

The person beside him nodded. "Three Quasi-Emperors, twelve Eternal Realm experts—with this lineup, even a fifth-level Quasi-Emperor would have to think twice!"

"A junior in the Sovereign Realm, what can he use to resist? His life? His life is not worth as much as the Young Lord's!"

"I heard he has a guardian by his side who killed Uncle Zhao? This person probably isn't simple!"

"Uncle Zhao? He was only at the Peak of the Eternal Realm; how can he compare to a Quasi-Emperor?"

The man shut his mouth.

That was true. The Peak of the Eternal Realm and a Quasi-Emperor were separated by a major Realm; they were simply not on the same level!

Uncle Zhao being killed only meant that the brat's guardian was a Quasi-Emperor!

But could one Quasi-Emperor withstand three?

Not to mention there were also twelve Eternal Realm experts and over a hundred Saints!

The space-locking array had already been activated; not even a fly could escape within a hundred miles!

There was no way out!

"Report!"

Zhao Kun returned, his expression grave. "Patriarch, that brat has left the city!"

Patriarch Zhao Wuji stood up, cold light flashing in his eyes!

"Everyone, listen to my orders!"

"Here!"

"The moment that brat appears, attack with full force. Leave no survivors!"

"Yes!"

The voices were uniform, causing the valley to echo.

Patriarch Zhao Wuji walked out of the valley. From high above, he looked toward the direction of Tianque City.

In the distance, four black dots were slowly approaching.

Patriarch Zhao Wuji's pupils slightly contracted.

That was the person who killed his son.

First level of the Sovereign Realm, in his early twenties, carrying a rusty sword on his back!

That is?!

Patriarch Zhao Wuji's pupils suddenly contracted!

That was no ordinary sword!

On the body of the sword, a faint, ethereal halo flowed. Ordinary people couldn't see it, but with his vision as a third-level Quasi-Emperor, he saw through it at a glance!

It was an ultimate emperor weapon!

And it was a natal High Grade one, of extremely high quality, far surpassing ordinary emperor weapons!

Patriarch Zhao Wuji's breathing became rapid!

He had lived for over ten thousand years and had seen many emperor weapons, but this was the first time he had seen an ultimate emperor weapon with his own eyes!

The pressure emanating from the depths of the sword blade made even his Quasi-Emperor body faintly tremble!

"An ultimate emperor weapon!" Patriarch Zhao Wuji muttered, the killing intent in his eyes replaced by greed!

His son was dead, and he felt heartache!

But his son's growth was too slow; it would take decades, centuries, or even millennia to become a Quasi-Emperor!

But an ultimate emperor weapon was different!

This thing could be used the moment it was obtained, and after deep Fusion, in the future, it could even go head-to-head with a Great Emperor!

If the Zhao Family possessed an ultimate emperor weapon, let alone the Central Plains, the entire continent would have to look to the Zhao Family's expression!

"Patriarch!"

A white-haired Elder behind him opened his eyes, his gaze also falling on that sword, his voice also trembling.

"Is that an ultimate emperor weapon?!"

"Yes!" Patriarch Zhao Wuji nodded.

The other Elder also opened his eyes, his eyes gleaming. "And the grade is not low; it's at least High Grade!"

The three of them looked at each other and laughed simultaneously!

"Congratulations, Patriarch, on obtaining an ultimate emperor weapon!" Both Elders bowed in unison.

"Congratulations, Patriarch!"

The Eternal Realm experts behind them also realized what was happening and offered their congratulations.

"Hahahaha!" Patriarch Zhao Wuji looked up and laughed, his laughter echoing in the valley!

A son died, but he gained an ultimate emperor weapon!

This deal was not a loss!

"Who is that brat? First level of the Sovereign Realm—is he even worthy of holding an ultimate emperor weapon?" Patriarch Zhao Wuji sneered.

"This thing should belong to my Zhao Family!"

"Patriarch is right!" the white-haired Elder agreed,

"That brat killed the Young Lord, so he deserves to die. The ultimate emperor weapon shall serve as compensation!"

"Compensation?" It's not enough! His life in exchange for my son's life, plus an ultimate emperor weapon—that's barely enough!" Patriarch Zhao Wuji shook his head.

His tone was casual, as if Gu Chen was already a dead man!

The Eternal Realm experts behind him laughed along!

"A junior in the Sovereign Realm, flaunting an ultimate emperor weapon in public—isn't that just asking for death?"

"Exactly. An innocent man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime—doesn't he understand this principle?"

"Maybe he's just a bumpkin from some small Family who doesn't even know what an ultimate emperor weapon is!"

"Whatever he is, after today, that sword will be the Patriarch's!"

Laughter rose and fell; no one thought Gu Chen could leave alive.

A first-level Sovereign Realm cultivator was no better than an ant in front of three Quasi-Emperors.

As for his guardian, so what if he killed Uncle Zhao?

Uncle Zhao was only at the Peak of the Eternal Realm, separated from a Quasi-Emperor by a major Realm.

Could one Quasi-Emperor beat three?

Not to mention there were twelve Eternal Realm experts and over a hundred Saints.

Patriarch Zhao Wuji restrained his smile, his voice cold. "After that brat appears, kill his people first, then take his sword."

"Yes!"

Patriarch Zhao Wuji added, "Don't damage the ultimate emperor weapon; it's my property."

"Yes!"

In the valley, killing intent filled the air!

Patriarch Zhao Wuji stood in the Void Realm, his eyes full of determination.

The ultimate emperor weapon, he was determined to have it!

That brat's life, he was determined to take it as well.

"Young Master Gu." Ru Shuang suddenly spoke on the road.

"What is it?"

"Are you really not afraid?"

Gu Chen turned his head to look at her and smiled.

"Not afraid."

"Why?"

Gu Chen turned his head, looking at the dense crowd ahead, his tone calm.

"Because the one who should be afraid is not me."

Ru Shuang was stunned for a moment.

She didn't understand what Gu Chen meant.

However, seeing Gu Chen's appearance, he didn't seem afraid at all. She didn't understand why Gu Chen was so confident.

Moreover, he didn't look nervous at all, and even seemed a bit excited?

Could this person really not be afraid?

Soon, the four of them walked to a distance of less than a hundred meters from the group!
