Chapter 243: The Emperor’s Promise and Li Tu’s Shock
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
As soon as they reached the city gate, they saw a city wall that was a thousand feet tall. On top of it was a black plaque — Northern Imperial City.
The three large words exuded a mysterious ancient charm. This was definitely the work of the Emperor.
In other words, in the history of the Northern Imperial City, there had once been an Emperor.
Entering the city gate, the streets were crowded with people and merchants. There were martial artists, alchemists, and swordsmen, and they were all busy.
The pace of this world was very fast. If one wanted to gain a foothold in this world where the strong ruled, one had to constantly work hard to increase one’s strength.
Only in this way could one follow this era and not be left behind.
“Senior Ye, we’re going to the Wang family. I wonder what your plans are, senior.” Seeing that they were about to part, Li Tu was a little reluctant.
The mission they had accepted this time was to deliver something to the Wang family. As for what this thing was, they did not know.
“I might stay here for a day and then go back,” Ye Changge said indifferently.
Ning Manman had yet to be found, so he chose to search the northern capital. After all, the location of the spatial tunnel was not fixed.
There were no fixed coordinates, but since he was in this area, she could not be too far away.
It should not take long for her to discover his whereabouts.
“Senior Ye, we don’t know when we will meet again today.”
Hearing ye Changge’s words, Li Tu’s eyes were filled with desolation, but he quickly understood.
A talented person like senior definitely had to do something big.
How could he stay in this small place forever? Moreover, all good things had to come to an end.
He comforted himself silently. When the others saw that they were about to part, they also seemed a little reluctant.
During this period of time, Ye Changge’s personality and charm had deeply moved them. As an Emperor, he did not act high and mighty. Not only was he handsome, but his personality was also forthright.
He was completely different from those high and mighty Emperors.
However, they were very clear that Ye Changge’s strength was too strong. What he had done was also beyond their imagination. It was impossible for them to stay together forever.
Seeing this, Ye Changge took out a piece of jade from his body and handed it to Li Tu. He said, “This piece of jade has my voice transmission mark on it. I can receive it even if it is hundreds of millions of miles away.
“If there is anything that can not be resolved in the future, feel free to send me a voice transmission.”
Li Tu stretched out his hand to receive this piece of jade. He felt as if it weighed a thousand kilograms, and his mood became turbulent. This was not an ordinary jade.
There was a voice transmission array inside, which was used to send messages. It had the owner’s spiritual imprint. He had many such jade stones in his hands.
However, even all the jade stones in the Li family combined were not as precious as this one. Its value was immeasurable.
This represented the Emperor’s promise.
When the others saw the sparkling voice transmission stone in Li Tu’s hands, their eyes burned with passion. However, no one felt jealous or resentful. They were all happy for Li Tu.
It was a great fortune to be able to obtain the promise of an Emperor.
Even a quasi-emperor would not be able to do so, not to mention that Li Tu was only a Tribulation Transcendent Realm martial artist. He was still thousands of miles away from becoming an Emperor.
If this stone was put in the auction hall, it would probably be sold for a sky-high price.
Of course, the real value was not this jade stone, but the spirit imprint of an Emperor within it.
With this, there was no doubt that he had a new life. Walking the world with an Emperor backing him up, how insufferably arrogant was that!
Li Tu also knew the value of this piece of jade. He was so excited that his entire body trembled, and he hurriedly wanted to return the jade to Ye Changge.
This was too valuable.
What did he do to deserve such an important promise?
“Senior Ye, I can’t accept your kind intentions. I know you’re doing it because I saved you. I did it on the spur of the moment. Moreover, you helped me break through to the Tribulation Transcendent Realm. How could I have the gall to accept your things?” Li Tu said and was about to refuse.
When the others saw this, they were all anxious.
This was a protective talisman. If anything happened in the future, they could ask Senior Ye for help.
Moreover, with this jade stone, they might be able to meet senior one day. If not, who knew when they would be able to meet again?
There was no time for cultivation. Perhaps this separation would be a farewell.
One had to know that the higher the realm of a martial artist, the longer their lifespan. The lifespan of an Emperor was truly indestructible. If one was indestructible, even if the world was destroyed, one would still be alive.
However, they were different. They only had a short lifespan of a few thousand years. Compared to an Emperor, they were too insignificant.
They might not be able to see each other for the rest of their lives.
Of course, Li Tu knew this, but after thinking about it, he still felt that the things in his hands were too valuable. If he had done something to really help Ye Changge, he would definitely accept the promise of an Emperor.
But he did not do anything at all. On the contrary, Ye Changge helped him reach his goal of cultivation and helped him break the shackles that bound him for many years.
This favor was already something he could not repay. If he accepted this jade stone again, he would not be able to calm down.
Obviously, he was thinking too much.
Ye Changge did not take it. Instead, he patted his shoulder. “The thing I gave you has never been given back. If you don’t want it, just throw it away!”
Li Tu had saved him in the northern desert. Although he did not think he had done anything, he had just come out of the spatial tunnel at that time, so his body was weak.
If a random demonic beast came, it would not pose a threat to him, but if Ye Changge wanted to kill it, he could only use the origin in his body. There was no other way.
As everyone knew, the origin in a warrior’s body was very important. It was the foundation of the power source. It was not worth it to destroy one’s foundation for a mere demonic beast.
Although one could slowly recover in the later stages, but it would take too long. Just this cost alone was not acceptable.
At this moment.
The others looked at Li Tu and roared internally, “What is there to hesitate about? Quickly accept it!”
The current scene had become like this. Ye Changge looked at Li Tu’s decision. The others’ faces were all red. They wished they could rush over and help him.
The people on the street all looked at them strangely, not knowing what they were doing.
“Thank you, Senior Ye.” Li Tu did not insist and put the voice transmission jade back into his storage space.
Since things had already come to this, if he still hesitated, he would be very cowardly.
Li Tu said goodbye to Ye Changge and walked in the direction of the Wang family. Ye Changge could stay in the Northern Imperial City for another day. If they were faster, they might even be able to have a few drinks together.
To be able to drink together with the Emperor, this was something that many people were envious of.
