A man sat cross-legged In the middle of the formation with his eyes closed. Blood was dripping continuously from a cut in his hand.

"Chen Ge!" Lonemoon exclaimed in surprise. Why was he here? And it was not his primordial spirit but his actual body sitting there.

"What's happening?" Lan Hua turned to look at Chu Xuan.

The expression in Chu Xuan's eyes as he looked at the man in the center of the array still bore a hint of resentment. In a grudging tone he explained, "This array was originally laid out using his blood as a catalyst. So his body is what maintains the eye of the formation." If everything went smoothly, the array would vanish once his body was drained of the last drop of blood and all his immortal qi dissipated completely. Besides, Chen Ge was the one in the array with the highest level of cultivation level, so naturally he was most suitable to be the eye of the array.

"He's now one with Zhu Xian, his body is controlled by the array and his primordial spirit is not in his body. The Heart Array Stone is under his feet. To destroy the array, we need to defeat him."

"I can't think of a way to make him leave the Heart Array Stone." He looked a little timidly at Shen Ying before continuing, "So... that's why I said it cannot be destroyed. If you want to destroy it, you have to fight him. One of you will be injured or even die. He's your Feng Cang Celestial Emperor, I'm sure you won't want to injure... Huh? Huh!"

Before he could complete his sentence, Yi Qing and Lonemoon had already rushed out with their swords. They showed no signs of hesitation as they swung their swords down on Chen Ge. At the same instant, the man inside the array, Chen Ge, opened his eyes. There was no focus in his gaze. His movements as he fought with them were as mechanical as a wooden puppet .

What luck! They had been waiting to beat this asshole for the longest time!

Chu Xuan: "..."

Was it an error of perception? Why did he have the feeling that these two sword immortals seemed overly eager to fight? Don't the citizens of Feng Cang continent look up to their emperor?

Chapter 182: A Vacancy For An Emperor

Shen Ying's group left Heavens beyond Heaven the second day after the destruction of the array. They handed Chu Xuan over to Chen Ge immediately once all the emperors had regained consciousness. After all, this matter concerned the two continents and the Invincible Sect was a part of Feng Cang continent. Chu Xuan had set up the Zhu Xian Array to incite discord within the continent. Hence this matter was best left to Chen Ge, who was an emperor as well, to handle.

Chu Xuan accepted the matter well and did not put up any resistance when Chen Ge sealed all the immortal qi in his body. Whether due to being intimidated by the presence of Shen Ying or because he was certain that Chen Ge dared not do anything to him, no one knew for sure. He was He Chuan' ruler after all; his death would trigger an all out war between the two continents.

Although they did not know how Chen Ge would handle the matter, they guessed that it would keep him busy for some time.

Unlike the other emperors who were still indignant over the matter, Lonemoon was uninterested in this type of political intrigue and left with his group of disciples. Their immortal boat and just reached the entrance of Heavens beyond Heaven when a ray of dusky light flashed across the entrance and they saw a figure come running towards them.

"Wait a moment!" It was Chen Ge. He flew over hurriedly and stopped in front of the boat. "Sect master Shen and Sect Elders. Why didn't you inform me that you were leaving. I could have sent you off."
