Chapter 168 Immortal Emperor Peak, Dragon Branch Grasper
```
Flying over the grasslands, leaping over the mountains, they grew ever closer to the time point when the Divine Shadow Legion had disappeared.
Everyone's nerves were taut, fearing that Nameless Imperial Ancestor would give chase.
Su Yie, through the divine shadows of Overlord Luo Fu and the Empress of the Great Zhou, had witnessed Nameless Imperial Ancestor. This wretch was indeed following behind them.
The moment he saw the two divine shadows, he vanished.
But soon, he reappeared. Clearly, he was wary of the Divine Shadow Legion, but if there were only two divine shadows, he was not afraid.
The great battle erupted swiftly.
Overlord Luo Fu, being one of the Five Emperors of the Demon Race and the Empress of the Great Zhou, being the sovereign of the Great Zhou Holy Dynasty, had initially suppressed Nameless Imperial Ancestor.
With Nameless Imperial Ancestor held back, the chances of Su Yie and the others escaping increased.
Under the lead of Li Huahun, they flew madly onward.
"Where exactly are we going?"
Fang Tian Divine Fist couldn't help but ask. Without a clear explanation from Li Huahun, he felt uncertain.
Apart from Su Yie and Ren Wokuang, the other three did not fully trust Li Huahun.
"Immortal Scorching Ridge."
Li Huahun, speaking sparingly, uttered a name that moved everyone.
Han Yuandao cried out in shock, "Isn't that one of the Eight Great Desolation of the Eastern Lands? Once you go in, you can never come back out!"@@@@
The expression on Fang Tian Divine Fist's face was also grim, as he said through clenched teeth, "We might as well go back and fight it out with Nameless Imperial Ancestor while the Divine Shadow Legion is still around!"
"No! Nameless Imperial Ancestor is too cunning; whenever the Divine Shadow Legion draws near, he will retreat."
Su Yie said gravely. It was his first encounter with such a cunning enemy.
Under normal circumstances, who would be so despicable at the level Nameless Imperial Ancestor had reached?
Thinking this, Su Yie mentally commanded the Heavenly Demon of the Great Dao to turn back and attack.
The Heavenly Demon of the Great Dao, having previously defeated Nameless Imperial Ancestor's doppelganger in seconds, was, in Su Yie's view, the strongest member within Emperor Su's Sect!
Therefore, he harbored a glimmer of hope.
The group continued to follow Li Huahun onward.
The Heavenly Demon of the Great Dao was incredibly fast, and soon reached the location of the Empress of the Great Zhou and Overlord Luo Fu. Nameless Imperial Ancestor remembered the Heavenly Demon of the Great Dao, and upon seeing it, immediately transformed into countless afterimages that fled in different directions at an astonishing speed.
The Heavenly Demon of the Great Dao was only a divine shadow, not a real person, and could not distinguish Nameless Imperial Ancestor's true body, so it had to give up.
The half-hour limit was rapidly approaching.
The sense of crisis among the group soared.
However, Nameless Imperial Ancestor definitely wouldn't dare to give chase in the short term; he could only follow from a distance.
His words made Su Yie even more interested in the Dragon Branch.
"There indeed is an Immortal Emperor Peak within the Immortal Scorching Ridge. I've been there before, but it's very dangerous. I advise you not to set your sights on the Immortal Emperor Peak."
Li Huahun snorted coldly; his warning couldn't suppress everyone's fantasies.
The Nameless Imperial Ancestor temporarily wouldn't be able to catch up; Su Yie planned to first hide in the Immortal Scorching Ridge for a month, then kill his way back.
Immediately, Su Yie turned his attention to the list of invitations in his mind.
Now, he realized he could switch between the chat page of the Emperor Su's Sect and the list of invites, no longer needing to choose the people before starting the chat like before.
However, that was of little use, he couldn't inquire about certain powerful beings within Emperor Su's Sect; that would be unbecoming of his identity as Emperor Su.
Please invite any two of the following creatures to join Emperor Su's Sect!
Lu Nitian!
Mo Jiuqing!
Mu Rong Invincible!
Tai Su Sword Lord!
Shi Cang!
Gui Chouxie!
...
A total of fifty names, many of which had appeared repeatedly; Su Yie fell into deep thought.
Let's not mention Lu Nitian.
Mu Rong Invincible, the head of the Great Zhou's prominent Mu Rong Family, commands tremendous respect in the cultivation world, possesses thousands of Immortal Laws, and is well known throughout the Eastern Lands.

It is said that Mu Rong Invincible has the qualifications to become an immortal; 5,000 years ago, he was the top Heavenly Pride of the Great Zhou and once dominated the Heavenly Ranking List.
Shi Cang, a Holy Monk from the Buddhism Sect, walks the world to enlighten sentient beings, highly revered, with high cultivation as well.
Gui Chouxie, a Ghost Spectral Cultivator who has only recently made it onto the Worldly Renowned Register, is said to be a reincarnation of a Divine Ghost, who, after three years of rebirth, can wash away his Karmic Force and become an immortal.
Beyond that, there were many others with far-reaching fame.
There were Demon Kings, Demon Cultivators, as well as powerful beings from the Human Clan.
Su Yie frowned; whom should he choose?
Just then, a powerful murderous aura suddenly came from behind, piercing towards everyone's backs like sharp needles.
"Escape? Who can save you this time?"
The cold, cruel laughter of the Nameless Imperial Ancestor came through, as if wanting to shred Su Yie and the others into pieces.
Everyone's faces changed drastically.
Li Huahun said sternly, "You go first! I'll stay to hold him off! Ren Wokuang, you must take Su Yie to the Immortal Scorching Ridge, or I will make sure you die!"
