After dealing with the two Dao Lords, Pingyuan and Pingshan, Ju Hua prepared to leave.
Before departing, however, Ju Hua turned his gaze toward the ornate palace near the Universe Passage not far away. Inside, a richly dressed Eternal Emperor was watching everything unfold.
When the Eternal Emperor saw Ju Hua looking his way, his heart gave a sudden jolt. The Dao God Hall protected weak Eternal Emperors like him and forbade powerful Dao Lords from hunting them, but Ju Hua's terrifying display of strength had still left him trembling inside.
Judging by the strength Ju Hua had shown, if he really wanted to kill him, one move would probably be enough.
Just as the Eternal Emperor was growing tense, Ju Hua suddenly spoke.
"Your Majesty, could you keep what just happened a secret for half a month?" Ju Hua asked calmly.
"This matter..." The Eternal Emperor let out a huge sigh of relief. Without hesitation, he nodded. "Rest assured, fellow Daoist. No word will leave my lips for half a month!"
"Thank you!"
Ju Hua cupped his hands, then turned into a streak of light and swiftly flew away.
Only after Ju Hua had gone far away did the Eternal Emperor let out a heavy sigh of relief. He might be an Eternal Emperor, but in front of an incredible Dao Lord like Ju Hua, he couldn't hold his head up at all.
"Zhuanshui Juhua actually broke through to become a Fourth Step Dao Lord, and the moment he did, his strength became terrifying. Academy Master Mingyu had an undying body, and he was still almost beaten to death..." The Eternal Emperor shook his head. Then, a thought suddenly struck him.
"Right, the news that Zhuanshui Juhua had Star Gold Sand on him was leaked by Star Lord Chenxin!"
