Chapter 274: The Gloomy Sheng Ye!

Air became quiet for a moment.

Sheng Ye's eyes twitched slightly as terrifying killing intent poured out and raged violently within the sedan.

"Does Sheng Zi Li know that if I want to kill you, I don't even need to move my finger?"

Li Ran's face was pale, but he remained calm and composed. "That's why I said that you don't dare, not that you can't."

"I don't dare?"

Sheng Ye sneered. "There's nothing in this world that I don't dare to do!"

Li Ran glanced at him. "If that's the case, then why does that crazy bitch still dare to act arrogantly in your palace?"

……

Corners of Sheng Ye's mouth twitched.

"What do you know? I only need her to live there."

Li Ran's expression was strange. "You can't beat her, right?"

"Shut up," he said. Sheng Ye expressionlessly said, "Don't open the topic for me."

Li Ran rubbed his chin as he pondered.

If even Sheng Ye was afraid of that woman, then her identity was really not ordinary.

"Could she be the head of a top sect?"

"However, of the eight great sects, other than my two masters, only the Myriad Sword Pavilion's sect master is female."

"Although martial cultivators are very similar, their looks do not match what Master described. They are clearly quite pretty."

Dong! Dong!

Sheng Ye knocked on the table. "I’m talking to you!"

Li Ran snapped back to his senses and scratched his head. "I'm sorry for being distracted. What were we talking about?"

Sheng Ye was speechless.

He could tell that this kid was not taking him seriously.

He was the ninth Emperor, and even Emperor-level experts needed to think about what they would say to him. Leng Wuyan, Yi Qinglan, and Chu Lingchuan were excluded. Who would dare to be distracted in front of him?

Sheng Ye frowned. "Where did you get your confidence? Are you so sure I won't touch you?"

Li Ran shook his head and said, "Because you can't bear to part with this country."

"Oh?" Sheng Ye asked curiously, "Why do you say that?"

Li Ran said indifferently, "After the beast tide, even though the Emperor gave me his honor and reward, my title was not ‘hero', but ‘heavenly devil’.

"Even if I become a human hero, you still have to brand me with the Devil Dao, because you don't want me to blur the boundaries of the Righteous and Devil.

"As long as the battle between the Righteous Path and Devil Dao doesn't stop, even if the world is filled with corpses and the people don't live well, the empire of the Sheng Clan will always be stable."

"On the contrary, if the Righteous Path and Devil Dao are no longer enemies, then the Imperial Clan will be the enemy of the sects under the heavens!"

A strange light flashed through Sheng Ye's eyes.

He hadn't expected that Li Ran would be able to guess exactly what he was thinking through this matter. He even said the essence of the matter.

He shook his head and said, "Then, according to your intentions, I should have killed you."

"You won't." Li Ran laughed. "If I am alive, I might be a threat in the future, but I might not be."

"But if you kill me, the Youluo Temple will kill you in the Central City within half an incense stick, and my master will put her sword around your neck."

"Even if you're lucky enough not to die, you'll still stand on the opposite side of the Devil Dao. Balance between the Righteous and Devil Dao will disappear, and the empire of the Imperial Clan will be in danger."

"Emperor Sheng is so scheming, so he naturally knows the pros and cons better than me."

"So no matter how unhappy you are, you will not kill me because you are unwilling to take that risk."

Li Ran was so thirsty that his mouth was dry. He made himself a cup of tea and slowly sipped it.

Sheng Ye was a standard Emperor, with only Imperial power and empire in his eyes.

Apart from that, everyone else was a tool. All actions were methods.

Sedan was silent for a moment.

Sheng Ye chuckled, "Sheng Zi Li is really smart."

Li Ran nodded. "I am indeed very smart."

Sheng Ye shot a glance at him. "But being smart is often mistaken."

"What do you mean?"

"Everything you said is just speculation."

"At this moment, your life is in our hands," said Sheng Ye calmly. "If I were to kill you, I would indeed be in trouble. However, it isn't as if I had no room for action at all. However, you have died and disappeared from this world forever."

"In comparison, you're the one who can't bear the risk, right?"

Cold killing intent surged within the sedan, and a boundless and terrifying pressure swept over. Air was almost on the verge of condensing.

Li Ran's body stiffened as if a mountain was pressing down on his shoulder. He couldn't even move a finger beside his eyes and mouth.

Sheng Clan had ruled the Central City for thousands of years, and the Emperor's glory had suppressed the world.

In terms of dignity and aura, no one in this world could outdo him.

How could the thoughts of an Emperor allow others to guess?

Sheng Ye said indifferently, "Does Sheng Zi Li think he's right?"

Not only was Li Ran not afraid, he even smiled brightly. "Emperor Sheng Ye said that I'm a smart person. Do you think a smart person would be able to board this dragon carriage without any defenses?"

Sheng Ye raised his brows. "What do you mean?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a cold voice sounded in the air.

"Emperor Sheng Ye is so majestic!"

Sheng Ye was stunned for a moment. Then he couldn't believe it. "Daoist Yi!"

This actually came from the Tianshu Institute's ten thousand Li sound transmission!

Yi Qinglan's voice was as cold as the cold wind. "Sheng Ye, Sheng Zi Li is an honored guest of White Cloud Peak. Don't tell me you wish for me to personally pay a visit?"

Sheng Ye was a little stunned.

Ever since Li Ran left his bedroom, he had been under his nose. When had he contacted Yi Qinglan?

Pressure dissipated, and Li Ran regained his freedom.

Actually, when he boarded the dragon carriage, he had already connected to the red line.

On the other hand, the long speech just now was not for the sake of showing off but to give Yi Qinglan the time to prepare.

He did not think that Sheng Ye would dare to kill him, but he would not put his life in someone else's hands.

Yi Qinglan said coldly, "Imperial power belongs to the Emperor, and sects belong to the sect! This lowly one will remind you one last time. It's best if you don't cross the border!"

After saying that, he did not say anything else.

Air returned to silence.

Sheng Ye's eyes flickered, and his expression changed indeterminately.

Yi Qinglan's attitude was so tough that she didn't give him any choice at all.

This meant that if he were to attack Li Ran, he would offend both the Righteous Path and Devil Dao at the same time and become an enemy of the world's sects!

"Why should both the Righteous Path and Devil Dao protect him?" Sheng Ye was puzzled after much thought.

At this time, Li Ran stood up. "If Emperor Sheng has nothing else to say, I'll leave first."

Sheng Ye was too lazy to bother with him.

He'd actually been eaten to death by this yellow haired kid, and he couldn't help but feel slightly depressed and frustrated in his heart.

Li Ran walked to the door, but he did not immediately go down.

After a moment of silence, he said, "Two princesses have pure thoughts. I will never hurt them with sincerity. You can rest assured."

Sheng Ye's throat moved, and he asked, "Why did you say that to me?"

This was not like Sheng Zi Li's style.

Li Ran said softly, "This is not for the Emperor, but my explanation and promise to a father."

After that, he got out of the sedan without looking back.

Sheng Ye was stunned.

He sat on the chair in a daze, not recovering for a long time.

After an unknown period, a glimmer flashed in his eyes, and a smile appeared on his face.

"This Sheng Zi Li is really an interesting person."

He finally understood why his daughter had fallen in love with this man.

Suddenly, Sheng Ye thought of something, and his face turned pale.

That's not right. What did he mean by ‘the two princesses'?

Zhixia isn't enough. Won't he even let Anyi go?

"He still wants to eat even though he's on a horse!"
