Peerless, the Emperor’s Appearance

"Guilty for possessing a treasure?"

Su Lang frowned slightly. "How is that possible? Weren't you born into an Immortal Clan?"

"So what if I'm from an Immortal Clan?"

Chu Xiaobei shook her head and said, "Although I was born into an Immortal Clan, do you know how vast Immortal Clans are? And how many factions there are within them?"

She paused, and without waiting for Su Lang to speak, Chu Xiaobei continued:

"The lineage I was born into is the weakest within the Immortal Clan, and my ancestors committed a grave error that is almost irreparable."

"Our lineage has the fewest members, the lowest status, and is looked down upon by the entire Xuan Yu Immortal Clan."

"My birth filled our lineage with hope, and all the elders dedicated their Cultivation resources to me."

"Additionally, the elders were afraid I would die prematurely, so they helped me conceal the truth of my peerless Aptitude and forbade me from leaving safe places."

Su Lang sighed, "If you needed to be that cautious, it truly seems like you were guilty for possessing a treasure."

In this world, the human heart is the most terrifying.

Chu Xiaobei spread her hands helplessly, "Only then could I Cultivate to the Great Saint level and possess the Profound Ice Illusionary Heavenly Silk."

"But my Cultivation speed was still too fast; the resources of our lineage simply weren't enough to support such rapid Cultivation."

"So, my Aptitude was speculated upon and then confirmed."

"And then what?!" Su Lang asked.

"At first, I was quite happy."

Chu Xiaobei said, "I thought I would be valued by the clan and given more resources, but I never expected that what awaited me was a huge trap."

"The one who set the trap was Clan Leader Xuan Yu of the Xuan Yu Immortal Clan, Xuan Yue Martial Immortal!"

"But I knew he wasn't the mastermind; the true power behind wanting to seize my Aptitude was an even stronger force."

"If my guess is correct, it must be an Imperial Clan, and specifically the Luo You Imperial Clan, to whom our Xuan Yu Immortal Clan is subordinate!"

"Luo You Imperial Clan!?"

"An Imperial Clan is actually targeting you!"

Su Lang took a breath, "Hiss, I'm really curious how you escaped!"

"The reason I knew Xuan Yue Martial Immortal wasn't the mastermind is because he let me go, allowing me to escape."

"Xuan Yue Martial Immortal was coerced, and the other Martial Immortals in the clan were warned not to interfere in this matter."

"And the only ones capable of coercing an Immortal Clan are likely Imperial Clans."

Chu Xiaobei said, "Moreover, probably only Imperial Clans possess Heaven-Defying methods to seize and transfer Cultivation Aptitude."

"So that's how it is."

Su Lang smiled slightly, "It seems your Clan Chief Xuan Yu still has some conscience."

"On one hand, there's the Bloodline bond."

"And on the other hand, it's probably because peerless Aptitude has another name: the Demeanor of Becoming an Emperor!"

"It's almost impossible for an Immortal Clan to become an Imperial Clan, and I am the Xuan Yu Immortal Clan's only hope of becoming one."

Chu Xiaobei said, "Xuan Yue Martial Immortal couldn't bear to see me, the Xuan Yu Immortal Clan's only Demeanor of Becoming an Emperor in tens of millions of years, be exploited by others, so he chose to let me go."

"Xuan Yue Martial Immortal let you go."

Su Lang said, "Then he, and the entire Xuan Yu Immortal Clan, will probably have to bear pressure from the Imperial Clan."

"There's certainly pressure."

"But the Luo You Imperial Clan won't act directly."

"Seizing Aptitude is inherently an Evil Path, and this matter cannot be made public."

"And our Xuan Yu Immortal Clan is nominally a subordinate force of the Luo You Imperial Clan anyway."

"Therefore, the Luo You Imperial Clan won't act directly; the mastermind will use other means to coerce our Xuan Yu Immortal Clan into submission."

"This is also why Xuan Yue Martial Immortal dared to take a gamble—the Xuan Yu Immortal Clan won't face immediate annihilation."

"As long as they weather this storm and protect me, with my existence as one with the Demeanor of Becoming an Emperor, the Imperial Clan wouldn't dare go too far."

"Because no one knows if I can truly become an Emperor in the future, and if I do, it would be a disaster for their Luo You Imperial Clan."

Chu Xiaobei took a deep breath and said, "However, the prerequisite is that they can't catch me. Currently, my existence is known to Lutian Tower.

I don't know if Lutian Tower has any connection with the Luo You Imperial Clan, or if they will inform the Luo You Imperial Clan of my whereabouts.

To be honest, I'm very worried, very scared, Su Lang…"
