Xiao Changting's state was such that he couldn't stop at all, yet several breaths had passed and the self-destruction hadn't occurred.

No matter how one looked at it, this was better news than a self-destruction.

What situation could be worse than Xiao Changting self-destructing?

Before Li Cheng could ponder further, a spatial ripple emerged nearby.

Li Cheng reached out his hand and pressed down, the Space Law suppressing toward that spot of spatial ripple, solidifying the area as if it were made of steel.

The next second, the spatial ripple quaked, and a Divine Emperor powerhouse who had just instantaneously moved there was torn to pieces, leaving nothing behind!

Yet at that moment, another Divine Emperor powerhouse arrived, appearing a hundred miles away.

He naturally saw the scene of his companion being shredded to bits, a look of disbelief spread across his face!

His companion was a mid-stage powerhouse in the Divine Emperor Realm, and he had been detected by Li Cheng the moment he teleported?

And what was that method used by Li Cheng? To seize the chance in the blink of an eye, to kill a teleporting person with spatial power, it was simply inconceivable!

Despite his shock, since he was also a mid-stage powerhouse in the Divine Emperor Realm, he immediately steadied his mind, took a step forward, and headed straight for Li Cheng and Kong Linfeng.

Li Cheng turned his head and glanced, then lifted his hand to unleash the Demon Suppressing Four Spirit Seal; before the Big Seal even arrived, the space in advance froze, causing the charging Divine Emperor to stumble.

In this brief pause, the Big Seal smashed into his chest, and a terrifying force erupted, blasting his body to pieces!

Without waiting for his Divine Child to escape, Li Cheng had already appeared in front of him, sealing the Divine Child.

"Since you are generals of the Xuankong Divine Dynasty and there's no Demonic Qi in you, it seems you have been bought by the Evil Demons!" Li Cheng said indifferently.

These two were sent by Emperor Xuankong, and Li Cheng had thought they were controlled by Evil Demon powerhouses on the way, but now it seemed that was not the case, that they were colluding with the Evil Demons.

There was no evidence, but evidence was not needed.

The Divine Child snorted coldly, "Kill or slash as you wish!"

Kong Linfeng frowned, "The generals of the Xuankong Divine Dynasty wield great power and have access to abundant resources. What kind of conditions did the Evil Demons offer to buy them? I think it's more likely they were threatened!"

Upon hearing this, a trace of helplessness flashed through the eyes of the Divine Child, but he still defiantly said, "No need to guess. Victors prosper, and the defeated perish; I accept my fate!"

Li Cheng turned to Kong Linfeng, "How about we ask Emperor Xuankong?"

Kong Linfeng nodded and took out the Message Jade Slip to send a message.

The color drained from the Divine Child's face as he urgently struggled, trying to trigger the power inside the Divine Child to self-destruct, but he couldn't break Li Cheng's seal at all.

Li Cheng glanced at him and shifted his gaze southward, "So that's how it is!"

In the distance, Dragon Emperor was racing toward them with Xiao Changting in tow; Xiao Changting was covered in blood, obviously his body had been forced open by many cracks due to the force of the failed self-destruction.

The reason why the self-destruction didn't succeed was, of course, because the Dragon Emperor had taken action!

Xiao Changting had the determination to self-destruct, without any intention or ability to stop, but the Dragon Emperor was a Divine Venerable powerhouse; with his intervention, he forcefully suppressed Xiao Changting's self-destructive state.

"Impressive! Entering the Divine King stage and being able to easily kill a mid-stage Divine Emperor, it's quite unbelievable!" Dragon Emperor arrived and remarked with a smile.

Kong Linfeng promptly took over Xiao Changting, examining his injuries, "How is he?"

Xiao Changting's divine body was nearly shattered, but the crisis had already been averted by the Dragon Emperor, and it wouldn't take long for him to recover.

"I won't die, and I have touched upon the opportunity of the Divine Emperor Realm; once my injuries recover, I'm sure to make a breakthrough," Xiao Changting paused before adding, "Linfeng, why don't you try it too?"

Kong Linfeng's mouth twitched; attempt self-destruction?

Only the insane would do such a thing!

"Thank you, Uncle Master Dragon Emperor, for your help!" Li Cheng bowed.

Dragon Emperor waved his hand dismissively, "It's nothing. He is a good man and worth befriending!"

Xiao Changting was a bit embarrassed but also flattered, for receiving the affirmation of such a Divine Venerable powerhouse was something many would envy.

Li Cheng pointed to the Divine Child in his hand and said with a smile, "Uncle Master's timing is perfect; this is a general from the Xuankong Divine Dynasty. May I ask Uncle Master to search his soul?"

Asking Emperor Xuankong to investigate would take time, whereas soul searching was faster.

However, Dragon Emperor shook his head, his gaze drifting to the distance, "I'm afraid there's no time for that, you all go first!"

From the sky in the distance, a rolling tide of deathly energy approached, accompanied by a tingling presence that spread within it. Despite being a hundred miles apart, a voice already reached them, "No one is leaving, Dragon Emperor. Your Dragon Clan has always remained neutral. If you retreat now, this old man will not pursue the matter!"

With a wave of the Dragon Emperor's hand, the scenery before Li Cheng and the others changed in an instant, and they found themselves in Savage City the next moment. Then, within Savage Ridge, a tremendously powerful fluctuation of battle burst forth.

"Was that senior a powerful member of Dragon Clan?" Xiao Changting asked in surprise.

Li Cheng nodded, "The Dragon Clan has always been neutral? If that's the case, then Uncle Master Dragon Emperor may incur unnecessary trouble for the Dragon Clan."

Kong Linfeng took over, "Indeed, the Dragon Clan has traditionally remained neutral, keeping out of the conflicts between the Human Tribe and the Demon Race. It's unclear what status that senior holds within the Dragon Clan."

If he held a high position within the Dragon Clan, then his actions against the Demon Race might very well represent the intent of the Dragon Clan.

If his status within the Dragon Clan was not high, such actions could potentially make him a criminal of the Dragon Clan.

Li Cheng was aware that although Dragon Emperor was a member of the Dragon Emperor Clan, he faced a lot of resistance on Dragon Island because he had ascended from the Lower World.

His aid to Blunt Empty Venerable must have already been noticed by Dragon Island, and when he returned, he was likely to face punishment from the Dragon Clan.

Even more so, the Dragon Clan might send people to him before he even returned.
