“It’s him…” Leng Jueshuang said in slight surprise.
Ever since last time, there had been no sign of the Eternal Night Immortal Emperor. Unexpectedly, he had come out on his own.
“The Eternal Night Immortal Emperor… It seems his appearance means he wants to settle some matters,” Xia Zhiyao guessed.
Leng Jueshuang said noncommittally, “No matter what, since he has taken the initiative to show up, then I, as the Palace Lord, should go and meet him!”
She was not going to back down. After all, theirs was not the only immortal sect.
“Zhiyao, will you come with me?”
Xia Zhiyao refused, “Palace Lord, I still have some matters to attend to, so I won’t go.”
“Very well.” Leng Jueshuang said no more, then disappeared from inside the hall.
Regarding the matter from before, as the Palace Lord of Supreme Emperor Palace, it was only right for her to step forward in person. It would not be appropriate for anyone else.
After Leng Jueshuang left, Su Qingxue asked in confusion, “Zhiyao, why aren’t you going? This is a great chance to join in the fun!”
“Not interested.” Xia Zhiyao finished speaking and was about to slip away.
She had to sort out the treasures she had collected, as well as the resources of Supreme Emperor Palace, and send them to her husband.
“Then what have you been doing these past few days?” Su Qingxue quickly caught up.
Xia Zhiyao glanced at her. “Of course, doing important things.”
“Besides, Qingxue, why don’t you go take a look at that Eternal Night Immortal Emperor?”
Important things? What important things were so suspicious that she was hiding them from her? Su Qingxue did not think much further. Blinking, she said, “If you’re not going, what would I go for?”
“Seeing him isn’t as important as you are.”
She had to keep an eye on Xia Zhiyao! There was definitely gossip!
Xia Zhiyao smiled. “Then come with me and help me take care of some things.”
“Take care of some things? What things? Zhiyao, you’re not thinking of leaving Supreme Emperor Palace, are you?! Don’t! Supreme Emperor Palace hasn’t reached that point yet. Barren Emperor Hall doesn’t have that kind of ability! I still want to hug your precious Yuan’er and Hao’er one day…”
“You’re overthinking it.”
…
Barren Heaven Immortal Domain.
Barren Emperor Hall.
Hall Master Emperor Jun was in a good mood. “With Futian Holy Land putting pressure on Supreme Emperor Palace, I don’t believe they can keep sitting idly by and ignore it!”
Futian Holy Land and Supreme Emperor Palace had once had conflicts. As the Hall Master of Barren Emperor Hall, he could mention it casually, and the Futian Holy Lord would still give him some face.
This was a mutually beneficial relationship, so reaching a consensus was easy.
Bai Yuan looked rather heated.
“If Futian Holy Land is willing to deal with Supreme Emperor Palace, then even if we, Barren Emperor Hall, actually make a move against Supreme Emperor Palace, Futian Holy Land will definitely help us!”
“Therefore, Supreme Emperor Palace will have to think twice. Given enough time, even if they don’t agree to the marriage alliance, they’ll have to agree!”
“Good.” Emperor Jun nodded. “How is your investigation going? Have you found any weakness in Xia Zhiyao?”
Bai Yuan felt unhappy when he thought about it.
“Hall Master, Xia Zhiyao has been well hidden by Supreme Emperor Palace. It is indeed difficult to make a move against her for now, and I haven’t found any weakness.”
“But since she is the owner of the Exquisite Immortal Physique and is peerlessly talented, I think we can start with the immortal races behind her!”
“Or we could find out how Supreme Emperor Palace brought Xia Zhiyao back and raised her… then we can follow the trail!”
“As long as there is even a hint of a clue, it can be exploited!”
As he said that, Bai Yuan’s expression became greedier.
“The immortal races behind her… that is indeed a good approach. Investigate this matter at all costs.” After speaking, Emperor Jun looked at Bai Yuan.
He reminded him, “Your state of mind is in turmoil. Remember, do not rush for quick results…”
Only then did Bai Yuan realize that his state of mind was written all over his face.
This matter was extremely important, so he could not help but be anxious. The fewer leads he had, the more uncomfortable he felt.
“The Hall Master’s guidance is correct.” He took a deep breath, and his expression returned to normal.
At that moment, Emperor Jun received a telepathic message.
His expression changed slightly. “He has appeared…”
“The Eternal Night Immortal Emperor!”
Just mentioning it annoyed him too.
Earlier, the Eternal Night Immortal Emperor had recklessly unleashed his perception, acting as if no one else existed!
“It’s him…” Bai Yuan clenched his fist.
“By showing up like this, he must be planning to deal with the major immortal sects!”
Back then, as a disciple of Barren Emperor Hall, he had not been a match for that Demon Emperor at all and had nearly been wiped out. Yet in the end, the Eternal Night Immortal Emperor was able to suppress that Demon Emperor… Thinking about it only made him more displeased.
“Regardless, since he has appeared like this, we should go and meet him!” Emperor Jun said, and then vanished from within the palace.
Bai Yuan gritted his teeth and followed.
He wanted to see what realm the Eternal Night Immortal Emperor was in now!
…Just wait. Once he takes Xia Zhiyao, he will definitely be no worse than the Eternal Night Immortal Emperor!
…
The boundless Immortal Realm.
Chen Junye stood high in the sky.
Taking advantage of his wife’s absence, he came out first to stir up some trouble.
He would deal with everything that needed to be dealt with.
At the very least, in the future he would not have to implicate his wife and Supreme Emperor Palace.
At this moment, he had already released his own aura, distinctly carrying the mark of Eternal Night.
If the major immortal sects were unhappy about what happened before, they would surely notice it and come to investigate.
…As for whether his wife would be happy to see him, and whether she would come… he did not know.
“They should be here soon…” Chen Junye said with a smile.
He did not care about any trouble. For him now, as long as he could find the children’s mother, that was enough.
And although the Immortal Realm was vast and boundless, that kind of distance was no big deal for the various Immortal Emperor powerhouses.
Besides, no matter how many Immortal Emperor powerhouses came, it was not very important to him.
After all, the thirty-three Immortal Domains were divided into levels. Only eight top-tier Immortal Domains had Immortal Emperor powerhouses stationed in them, representing the eight peak immortal sects. And the number of Immortal Emperor powerhouses did not exceed a few, with varying cultivation levels.
Let alone powerhouses of the Transcendent Immortal realm; there was not even a single peak Immortal Emperor… As for whether there were old antiques hidden away, that was unknown.
Before long.
Several terrifying auras arrived at incredible speed.
They were clearly the great Immortal Emperor powers; ordinary people were not qualified to come here.
“It really is you… Eternal Night Immortal Emperor!”
The many great powers looked at the man standing with his hands behind his back, and thought to themselves: We’ve finally surrounded the Eternal Night Immortal Emperor!
But they were also somewhat surprised inside. Only after seeing him in person could they confirm that it really was that man returning! But what exactly had happened to him!?
And why had he done what he did before?
At the same time, several more auras approached.
Emperor Jun and Leng Jueshuang were among them. However, they exchanged displeased glances and said no more, because they were not here to settle grievances between themselves. They were only here to demand an explanation and recover a bit of face!
And when Leng Jueshuang discovered that Bai Yuan was also there, she wished she could slash him apart! Everything started with him!
Bai Yuan seemed unconcerned about anything. Among the younger generation, those who could become an Immortal Emperor numbered no more than a handful, so he naturally had the right to be proud.
But not seeing Xia Zhiyao appear left him somewhat disappointed.
Chen Junye could sense that the sect master of Azure Mystery Dao Sect had not come… The Palace Lord of Supreme Emperor Palace had, though. His wife was not here either…
That made things easy.
“Eternal Night Immortal Emperor, regarding what happened before, are you going to give us an explanation?” Emperor Jun said unhappily.
“Was that done because you have no regard for us Immortal Emperors?!”
“No matter what your purpose is, offending our immortal sects is by no means wise!”
“Although you once rendered meritorious service by suppressing the Demon Emperor, that is not a reason to trample on us at will!”
The many Immortal Emperor powerhouses had all seen the world, and they immediately denounced him in displeasure.
But then they heard a single voice…
“Get lost!”
