9 THRONES

CHAPTER 54: THE GOLDEN FIRE

"Why am I here?" said the Golden Fire Emperor with a mocking smile "Surely to clean up a traitor like you! I don't know if you're a shadow monster disguised as a human or if you're a monster-like human, but that's for sure! As an Emperor, it's my job to catch people like you!".

Seeing that his opponent was the Golden Flame Emperor, Zerten knew he was unlikely to win.

Therefore, Zerten turned around and tried to escape.

Actually he had the Qi Gathering disciples killed not because he was cooperating with monsters, but Zerten was just trying to get the original 5 Element Sword Technique.

Not to mention Zerten thought at most he would only be sentenced to lose a few months of salary due to his actions, after all he only deprived the lives of the weakest Qi Gathering people.

But Zerten never thought the alliance would send the Emperor figure directly to capture him, if he knew of the matter, Zerten would definitely not dare to try to send these disciples to the Soul Forest.

Seeing Zerten trying to escape, the mocking smile on the Golden Fire Emperor's face became increasingly powerful "Are you stupid? At any rate could a figure who was only at the Nascent Soul stage be able to escape from a Martial Emperor?".

In front of everyone's eyes, the Golden Flame Emperor's body actually turned into golden flames then flew towards Zerten.

When Zerten had just turned to flee, golden flames had already surrounded him.

Zerten tried to fight against the surrounding golden flames, but the golden flames again formed the Golden Flame Emperor who stood in front of Zerten "Look, you have no chance whatsoever to escape".

Without waiting for Zerten to prepare, the Golden Flame Emperor struck Zerten's stomach with a hand lined with golden flames.

"Shelf!".

Zerten vomited a mouthful of blood from the blow and landed hard on the ground, finally the figure of the wheel that had 5 elements stood in the air before disappearing again, more precisely back to Zerten's body.

The wheel was just a spirit belonging to Zerten, a 5 element wheel that can disappear and attack using 5 elements or help its owner.

Because it has a unique spirit like this, Zerten is very suitable as a user of the 5 Element Sword Technique where users must learn to control the 5 elements. With the help of his spirit, Zerten could control the 5 elements faster.

The Golden Flame Emperor brought Zerten who had fallen to the ground, he had not died but lost his consciousness.

After bringing Zerten along, he walked towards Hasel and the others "I will bring back your academy head towards the headquarters, no matter if he cooperates with the demons or not, no matter if he cooperates with the demons, all actions he took were punishable. So the new academy head might come from the alliance, you guys should wait until that time comes".

"I have to leave now, there are still many questions to ask this traitor, especially ascertaining whether he is a human or a shadow monster who is an expert in disguise".

"How's the monthly match? Does it have to stop?", asked Hasel.

"Why should it be stopped? let the match continue, but this time you are the one in the lead so that it will no longer fall another victim among the disciples" said the Golden Fire Emperor who patted Hasel on the shoulder.

Not waiting for Hasel and the others to answer, the Golden Flame Emperor walked away from the place while carrying Zerten in his hands.

To others, the battle moves between Zerten and the Golden Fire Emperor were great, yet they did not gain any benefits.

But Vann was different, from the fight just now he learned a lot of new understanding of the sword or unique power like the Golden Flame Emperor used.

Although with Vann's power now he is unable to use it, but at least Vann can develop some of his other powers.

Especially the 5 Elements Sword Technique, looking at the 5 Elements Sword Technique that Zerten had used just now, Vann felt that his technique had also merged even stronger due to studying the mistakes he had made earlier from Zerten's movements.

When the Golden Flame Emperor took Zerten away, everyone regained their senses.

Hasel stared at Githa as he said "Now you won't try to stop me again right?".

Githa certainly knew Hasel was angry with her for trying to stop her earlier when going to the Soul Forest, so Githa just shook her head no matter "Teacher Hasel, I have said before that you misunderstood. I stopped you because the job the academy chief gave me was more important than what you said, but now that the Golden Fire Emperor who had the position above the academy chief decided you were the leader of the academy and the monthly match until the new academy head was appointed by the alliance, he said, because of all that how could I still refuse the Emperor's decision?".

Hasel nodded, there was no point in fussing over the incident just now which made Hasel again observe the 30 surviving participants of the 1000 people "The match this time was over, after all, you are given a break of 2 days before the last fight is a 1 on 1 fight to determine the 10 strongest participants. All of you can return to the city, don't forget to come to the arena of the match at the Wood Sword Academy 2 days later".

"Katra, Lavein and Githa, you can't go back. We will go to the Soul Forest and bring back all the corpses of the disciples that can be brought, if the bodies have been destroyed then there is no need to carry them".

Katra, Lavein and Githa looked at each other before agreeing "Well, chief".

The figure of 4 people rushed towards the forest.

After the departure of the 4 organizers, some of the surviving participants decided to go back and report the events of today to the forces behind each of them.

After all the new Head of the Wood Sword Academy was captured by the Emperor, although they should not destroy the Wood Sword Academy under the supervision of the Human Protector Alliance, either, surely the Wood Sword Academy would be weakened from losing the academy's head or self-destructing.

Therefore, they came back and reported this incident so that the leader of their academy, sect or Yun family could prepare to take advantage of the weakening of the Wood Sword Academy.

Vann did not care at all for the person's thoughts, he simply observed the surviving participants to discover the existence of the Tude standing among the people.

The Tude was probably the weakest among the other Qi Gathering level 9s, but his luck was very good, he was actually able to return from the Soul Forest alive.

Tude seemed to also feel Vann's gaze, he turned towards Vann before his face became gloomy, why was this child so lucky that he came back alive while his 4 comrades died? Tude, furious at the loss of 4 of his comrades, decides to take down his anger by defeating Vann in the next match, much less he hates Vann because many people consider him a talented student of the Wood Sword Academy.

Stepping forward to Vann, Tude smiled mockingly at "Son, you seem to be lucky enough to have come back alive from the Deathly Forest, but soon luck will run out in the next game! I will defeat you to the point of not daring to cultivate again".

A cold smile also appeared on Vann's face "Aren't you overconfident? The winner has not been determined, 2 more days we will see who is stronger!".
