On an island in the New World. A building stood.
In the center of the room, a long rectangular table was placed. On both sides of the table sat two figures, each with different forms and builds.
"Emperor has released news. The Nine-Tailed Fox has been killed by them. The corpse has been thrown out." At this moment, a hoarse voice rang out.
"Killed the Nine-Tailed Fox. It seems this Emperor has refused our invitation."
"The Nine-Tailed Fox is dead. Our high-end combat power has decreased by one."
"We absolutely cannot let Emperor off so easily. We must show him."
"I agree. Emperor has been too unrestrained recently. He's just a newcomer."
Among the four, three of them echoed this sentiment. Their words were full of undisguised hatred and killing intent towards Emperor.
"To teach Emperor a lesson, I'm afraid we people are not enough. An force that can make Charlotte Linlin compromise. I don't think we can do anything to Emperor."
A voice full of mockery rang out.
"What do you mean? Are you afraid before you even start?"
"Giving up is not an option. It's just that Emperor, in his full power, is not someone we can deal with. Emperor is not like other forces.
Although his personnel are few, every single one of them is an elite. Every single one is not weaker than an Admiral. Can we people contend with them? Are we sending ourselves to death?"
The rest heard this. They all fell silent.
Although they were the Eight Kings of the Underworld, facing a power like Emperor, they were still not confident.
Although Emperor had few people, every single one of them was stronger than them. Every single one was a power not weaker than an Admiral. They even surpassed Admirals.
And most importantly, they were merely forced to unite.
Every single one of them harbored sinister intentions. They all had their own plans.
Their combat power was inferior. Their morale was also insufficient. How could they win?
"What you said is true. If it's Emperor in full force, we indeed cannot defeat him. But the current Emperor has already split up.
I received news that Esdeath and Hashirama Senju have both left the island. They have each gone to other places. And Ye Chen has also left."
"You mean..."
"That's right. We can deal with Emperor's members one by one. And Charlotte Linlin will definitely not willingly submit to Emperor."
A thin, tall figure's face showed a slight smile.
"—I have no objection to dealing with Emperor's members one by one, but I disagree with cooperating with Charlotte Linlin."
At this moment, a person stood up. He refuted the opinion.
He was the one who competed with Charlotte Linlin for the position of a Four Emperor back then.
Moreover, during the competition, Charlotte Linlin destroyed most of his companions. Even his own biological brother was among them.
It could be said that he deeply hated Charlotte Linlin.
How could he cooperate with an enemy? What kind of thing was this?
"...Sca, don't rush. Cooperating with Charlotte Linlin is just a temporary measure. Currently, our main enemy is Emperor. As for the other Four Emperors, we will temporarily set them aside."
The thin figure seemed to have long anticipated Sca's objection. He explained it systematically.
"I agree with this."
"Agreed. Currently, the enemy is Emperor. The Four Emperors will be temporarily set aside."
Sca and Charlotte Linlin had a grudge. This was no secret. They naturally knew it. They were now concerned about Emperor's survival.
(Of Zhao) As for whether Sca and Charlotte Linlin had a grudge, it didn't concern them.
At this moment, the thin figure saw that Sca had not changed his stance. He smiled and said: "If we can eliminate Emperor this time, then our next target will be Charlotte Linlin. What do you think?"
Sca heard this. His eyes flickered. He considered it for a long time. Finally, he spoke: "If that's the case, I agree."
"Since everyone agrees, we will contact Charlotte Linlin later. I think he will not refuse to eliminate Emperor."
"This time, our target is Emperor."
"Leader Ye Chen. The Sword Arts Tournament will begin soon after the incident. I don't think Ye Chen will miss this tournament. We can start with the tournament."
The thin figure said with a smile. His face was filled with smiles. It seemed he had already foreseen the scene where Ye Chen was killed by them.
But would things really be that easy?
