Chapter 457: Chapter 349 Who do you think you are?_2
"Kill him now!" the Ninth Prince urged.
The Thirteen Elder nodded, gesturing towards the crowd, who understood and collectively activated the Formation!
The power of a Formation activated by over a hundred Divine Venerables was unimaginable. Wushuang's eyes revealed despair. Even if Li Cheng were stronger, he was only at the early stage of the Divine Venerable Realm. How could he resist a Divine Array activated by so many Divine Venerables?
But in the next second, Li Cheng suddenly appeared beside Wushuang, and right under the Thirteen Elder's eyes, he grabbed Wushuang and used Instantaneous Movement to escape.
At this moment, all the Dragon Clan members present were stunned, exchanging incredulous looks.
They couldn't understand how Li Cheng had broken free from the Formation's suppression. To Li Cheng, the six-level Divine Array seemed virtually nonexistent!
The Ninth Prince's eyes bulged, "You... what are you good for? Chase him now!"
The muscles on the Thirteen Elder's face twitched. Good grief, with the Divine Emperor himself present, to let a human at the beginning stage of the Divine Venerable Realm escape?
Where could he put his face?
Clenching his teeth, killing intent surfaced in the Thirteen Elder's eyes, and he bellowed, "Get back here!"
Amidst the roar, space twisted. Just having Instantaneous Moved a million miles away, Li Cheng felt the world spinning; his attempt to stabilize with the Space Law was futile.
After all, his opponent was a Divine Emperor. Trying to use spatial means to flee from a Divine Emperor's hands appeared to be somewhat lacking.
Resigned to his fate, Li Cheng enveloped himself in spatial power and allowed the Thirteen Elder to twist the space.
In the next moment, Li Cheng and Wushuang appeared in front of everyone.
The Thirteen Elder's face darkened, "Human, you think you can escape from noble me? Release Princess Wushuang!"
"Thirteen Elder, why bother with Wushuang? She might as well be in cahoots with these lowly humans. Perhaps it was Wushuang who instigated the killing of the Golden Dragon King. Kill them both!" the Ninth Prince shouted furiously.
The Thirteen Elder frowned. He dared not execute a princess.
"Everyone is listening. I'll take responsibility for everything. Kill them both now!" the Ninth Prince commanded again.
Li Cheng snorted, "In such a rush to kill and silence? Ninth Prince, you have a dark heart indeed!"
"Silencing by killing? Lowly human, don't spout nonsense. You killed my Golden Dragon King and broke into the Refining Dragon Prison. You are already condemned to death!" the Ninth Prince exclaimed.
"You keep calling us lowly and want to charge me with a crime? Who do you think you are?" Li Cheng's eyes narrowed slightly as he spoke calmly.
The Ninth Prince was about to retort when he suddenly realized that the surrounding environment had changed!
Li Cheng and Wushuang had vanished. Only the Thirteen Elder and the other Divine Venerables remained, and the world had turned pitch black. They couldn't see their own hands in front of them.
"What's going on?" someone shouted in surprise; had they suddenly gone blind?
"Everyone, stay calm, don't act rashly. We have fallen into that kid's Divine Array!" the voice of the Thirteen Elder rang out, tinged with exasperation.
How could he not be exasperated? Li Cheng was merely at the early stage of the Divine Venerable Realm. They had just recaptured him, and with the Thirteen Elder among them, no one had really taken Li Cheng seriously.
Even the Thirteen Elder hadn't noticed that Li Cheng had diverted everyone's attention with the argument with the Ninth Prince, allowing himself to activate the Divine Array!
"Thirteen Elder, break the Array quickly! With your strength, you can shatter this bastard's Divine Array with a single strike!" the Ninth Prince yelled.
The Thirteen Elder felt displeased but, constrained by the Prince's status, couldn't say much. He prepared to punch the sky to break the Formation as he remembered from before.
But then, a bizarre scene unfolded. Just as the Thirteen Elder was about to act, a vast force bore down, rendering the Thirteen Elder immobile!
This force, though targeting only the Thirteen Elder, caused the scalp of over a hundred Divine Venerables present to tingle from its residual aura!
"This is... the power of nine Divine Emperors? What kind of Array is this?" the Thirteen Elder's pupils sharply contracted!
"So what if you're a Divine Emperor? Are you not still being ordered around like a dog by the Ninth Prince?" Li Cheng's voice echoed throughout the Array.
The Thirteen Elder's face filled with shock, "Who on earth are you?"
A person of the early Divine Venerable Realm from the Human Tribe, suppressing a true Divine Emperor with an Array? How could that be possible?
Plus, with the ability to set up an Array using nine Divine Origins, the person must have an extraordinary background!
"Old Dragon, now you think to ask me? Unfortunately, I don't feel like telling you. Just stay quietly within the Formation!" Li Cheng said.
"First Elder, you are a Divine Emperor. Don't tell me, noble son, that even you can't break the Formation?" Panic crept into the Ninth Prince's voice.
The First Elder glared fiercely in the direction of the Ninth Prince. Since no one could see one another, he glared intensely for a moment before saying, "I can't break it, I've been suppressed, and I'm unable to use my strength."
Upon hearing this, the Ninth Prince's pupils constricted sharply. "Li Cheng, if you know what's good for you, release us immediately. Don't think you can suppress the First Elder and leave Dragon Island unscathed! Let me tell you, there are countless strong individuals among the Dragon Clan…"
Li Cheng cut off the Ninth Prince's words, and spoke indifferently, "You talk too much. I think, it would be better if you didn't have a physical body."
With a flick of his wrist, he activated the Formation, and immediately the Ninth Prince's screams echoed!
Li Cheng had already destroyed nearly half of the Ninth Prince's body before, but he had recovered. Now, completely obliterating his body, recovery would not be so easy.
The Ninth Prince's screams caused all the Divine Venerables and the First Elder to feel chills up their spines. The First Elder hastily said, "Li Cheng, let's talk this out, please don't destroy the Ninth Prince's body!"
"Too late, I've already done it!" Li Cheng said indifferently.
The First Elder was at a loss for words and after a moment he asked, "Who exactly are you? What is your business with our Dragon Clan?"
Li Cheng ignored him and collected the Extinguishing Divine Array and them into the Divine World, then turned to Wushuan, "Are you alright?"
Wushuan looked somewhat dispirited, shook his head, "Let's go, I will leave the Dragon Clan with you."
Li Cheng looked at Wushuan, "Do you think I've stirred up too much trouble, and it's safer by my side?"
Wushuan shook her head, "What protection could I offer you when you can suppress even Divine Emperors? I just think there's no need to stay with the Dragon Clan any longer."
"Does this count as betraying the Dragon Clan?" Li Cheng teased.
"What if it is betrayal? This disappointing place is not worth staying at!" Wushuan took a deep breath and said.
As a princess of the Dragon Clan, her life was indeed not an easy one.
Li Cheng shook his head, "But I don't intend to leave Dragon Island!"
Wushuan was stunned, and looked at Li Cheng, "Your Divine Array has already suppressed one Divine Emperor and over a hundred Divine Venerables, how many more Divine Emperors can you suppress?"
In her eyes, having suppressed so many strong individuals of the Dragon Clan, Li Cheng would surely be looking to leave Dragon Island quickly. She never imagined Li Cheng had no intention to leave!
"I don't have the ability to continue suppressing Divine Emperors. My not planning to leave is because I want to meet the Clan Leader of the Dragon Clan," Li Cheng said.
Wushuan's eyes were full of astonishment. Meet her own father?
After calming herself down, Wushuan curiously asked, "What exactly are you trying to do? My father has been in seclusion for hundreds of thousands of years, and the First Elder manages all major and minor affairs now."
"Oh?" Li Cheng pondered, then smiled, "Then let's meet the First Elder."
"The First Elder is at the peak of the Divine Emperor's Realm, second only to my father in strength. If you meet him… He dislikes humans the most, and he might just kill you on the spot!" Wushuan said.
Li Cheng remained calm, smiling, "He wouldn't dare!"
Wushuan didn't understand where Li Cheng's confidence stemmed from. "You still haven't told me what you're planning to do," she said.
After a moment's thought and without any concealment, Li Cheng said, "Previously, the God Race attacked the Outer Great Wall, and except for the Monster Race, all of Divine Realm went to resist. Did you know about this?"
Wushuan shook her head, her eyes filled with surprise; she clearly had no idea.
But she wasn't foolish and immediately grasped Li Cheng's intent, suspiciously asking, "So, you're representing the Human Tribe to seek out my father? Or the First Elder?"
"But you also said you can't continue suppressing Divine Emperors. Without sufficient strength, how can you negotiate with him?"
Li Cheng had naturally thought about this problem. According to his father's intention, the arrival of the son of Confucius Ancestor was already a great sign of respect for the Dragon Clan. As for what to do next, it was up to him to handle it.
That was why Li Cheng had only destroyed the bodies of the Golden Dragon King and the Ninth Prince, without annihilating them completely, not taking things to the extreme.
"We'll see when I meet him. With these members of the Dragon Clan in the Formation, I believe he'll be willing to talk!" Li Cheng said.
But Wushuan shook her head, "You're overestimating the First Elder's compassion. These members of the Dragon Clan aren't enough to threaten him!"
"Haha, Wushuan girl, you truly understand me well!" Just then, a wild and arrogant laugh rang out.
