The Jialan Monarch finally arrived, arriving in the airspace above the lake. When he saw the corpses in the lake, his expression was as ugly as it could be to behold.
How long has it been? He already used his fastest speed to rush here but he was still too late. Could an immortal king really be so powerful to this extent?
"Who can tell me what happened earlier?" The Jialan Monarch turned his gaze to the crowd on the dragon boat as he calmly asked.
"Reporting to the Monarch, he has already broken through. He was carving in the lake when astral light descended from the sky. He has broken through to the immortal emperor realm." Someone spoke to the Jialan Monarch. The Jialan Monarch's eyes flashed with sharpness. How can this be possible?
The Jialan Monarch was one of the nine monarchs of the Lifire Palace and was able to sit in this position at the mid-stage of the immortal king realm. There was no need to doubt his talent and strength. Other than this, he, the Jialan Monarch, came from a supremely powerful power. In the Lifire Palace, even the Lifire Empyrean might not be able to suppress him.
Hence, one could say that the Jialan Monarch's knowledge was extremely vast and he had seen many geniuses. However, Qin Wentian simply toppled everything he knew. When he first met Qin Wentian, he was only an immortal-foundation cultivator. After that, he heard the news that Qin Wentian was a bandit and that Qin Wentian was a peak-stage immortal king. At that time, he still doubted the authenticity of the news.
Right now, Qin Wentian broke through to the immortal emperor realm?
Was this a joke?
Clearly, no one was joking. No matter how audacious the people here were, they wouldn't dare to joke with a monarch at this moment. The gazes of everyone in the surroundings also proved everything. Qin Wentian had indeed broken through to the immortal emperor realm.
In a short period of over twenty years, he broke through to the immortal emperor realm from immortal-foundation. Was this possible?
Originally, it should be impossible but it actually happened. In that case, there was only one possibility. In truth, back then, Qin Wentian wasn't at the immortal-foundation realm but was an immortal king, a peak-stage immortal king. However, his concealment abilities were extremely strong. Even the Jialan Monarch had no way to see through Qin Wentian's true cultivation base. If this was the case, it could explain the relationship between Qin Wentian and Princess Kitamura.
An immortal emperor and a peak-stage immortal king.
"Issue an arrest warrant. Return to the Imperial Palace." The Jialan Monarch waved his hand. After that, he returned to his emperor palace. He still had an extremely important matter to do, he had to mobilize troops from the Lifire Palace.
He already knew the identity of the bandits. They were very powerful, and now, this Imperial City couldn't be left unguarded. The Evil Emperor and Qin Wentian were still outside. He definitely couldn't leave.
…
Qin Wentian has always been in the Emperor City. He was quietly waiting for news, waiting for Ye Qianyu's news. Several days later, more and more news began to circulate through the Emperor City.
During that battle, Ye Qianyu was injured and was surrounded by several immortal emperors. In the end, she managed to break out of the encirclement but she still couldn't escape. Her pursuers found her and captured her. Her identity was also exposed after that. The Palace Mistress of Heavenly City's Thousand Feathers Palace, the number one beauty of Heavenly City.
Given the power of the Jialan Monarch, it was naturally impossible for him to not find out. Hence, the Jialan Monarch mobilized experts from the Lifire Palace and headed to Heavenly City, preparing to uproot the Thousand Feathers Palace.
Ye Qianyu was captured and it was unknown where she was imprisoned. Most probably, these people wanted to play the same scheme again, using Ye Qianyu to lure the bandits out.
However, this time around, the Jialan Monarch didn't dare to be too intense. There was only one reason. The Evil Emperor captured several of his descendants and left the Emperor City, choosing not to clash head-on with him.
The tyrannical Lion King and Evil Emperor actually prepared a path of retreat. This caused the Jialan Monarch's heart to burn with anxiety.
The Jialan Monarch even requested for the Lifire Empyrean to use Ye Qianyu as a hostage. After that, he would find an opportunity to capture all the bandits in one fell swoop. However, the Lifire Empyrean angrily reprimanded him for not doing his job well. Within the emperor city of the Jialan Monarch, a group of bandits actually dared to run amok, simply throwing the face of the Lifire Palace. There were even several experts who were killed. If it wasn't for him sending the Crow Emperor to heavily injure Ye Qianyu and capture her, the Jialan Monarch might have fallen for their trap.
With regards to the Jialan Monarch's request, the Lifire Empyrean mercilessly rebuked him. As a monarch, it was one thing for him to not do his job well, but he actually dared to request to exchange the bandits for his loved ones. After all, these bandits weren't captured by him, the Jialan Monarch.
In any case, although you captured the leader of the bandits, you didn't have anything to do with the Jialan Monarch. Not only so, the Jialan Monarch even suffered heavy losses. The immortal emperors who died were all his subordinates and those who were captured were his loved ones.
The Jialan Monarch was naturally incomparably angry in his heart but he was helpless. He understood that he had to maintain his composure. He knew that the Lifire Empyrean had always wanted to take him down and was waiting for him to make a mistake. Although he was one of the nine monarchs under the Lifire Empyrean, only he himself understood how he obtained his position. It wasn't as simple as his strength.
Today, the Evil Emperor finally appeared. He sent a message to the Jialan Monarch's emperor palace, telling him to bring Ye Qianyu to the appointed location for the exchange or he would have to bear the consequences. The Jialan Monarch immediately made arrangements but at this moment, the Lifire Empyrean directly interfered, sending experts over. At the same time, they did a series of actions that made the Jialan Monarch unhappy. However, he had no way to refute them. On the appointed day, he led many experts to the appointed location but he didn't bring Ye Qianyu along.
Ye Qianyu was no longer under the control of the Jialan Monarch.
When the Jialan Monarch left, Princess Kitamura and many experts from the Lifire Palace came to the Jialan Monarch's emperor palace. The aura radiating from Princess Kitamura was extremely cold, her entire face seemed to be covered in a layer of frost. Compared to the past, her demeanor seemed to have changed, becoming even colder and more beautiful. Her cultivation also grew stronger, she has already entered the mid-stage of the immortal emperor realm.
However, there was no joy on Princess Kitamura's face. Ever since she came out of seclusion and learned of everything that happened, she felt a chill in her heart. The Lifire Empyrean made perfect use of her once and still treated her very well, not forcing her to do anything. In fact, he didn't even mention that the person he wanted to kill was her, Princess Kitamura. But as long as one wasn't a fool, they would know that the person he wanted to kill was her. Qin Wentian knew this, hence, Qin Wentian came here.
She went to meet with the Lifire Empyrean but the Lifire Empyrean didn't mention anything about this matter. He only smiled and showed concern for her cultivation. What else could she say? What could she do?
As the Lifire Empyrean of the Hokage Sengoku Kingdom, the number one genius in the Hokage Sengoku Kingdom, she had never been used like this before. She also deeply understood what sort of world the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms was. There were many powerful powers that could control everything, but inside, there were many scheming and scheming.
"Beiming." In the Jialan Monarch's emperor palace, the Crow Emperor glanced at Princess Kitamura and smiled, "Congratulations on your cultivation base breaking through to the next level."
"Just a mid-stage immortal emperor." Princess Kitamura's expression was cold, she didn't really care about the Crow Emperor.
Crow was still smiling as he stared at Princess Kitamura. Although as a peak-stage immortal emperor of the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms, Crow had seen countless beauties before, he couldn't help but to say that it was extremely rare to see a peak-grade beauty like Princess Kitamura. Anyone who saw such a beauty would feel a sense of joy in their hearts. No wonder Jialan wanted to swallow her up for himself back then, treating her as his personal property, wanting to bring her into the harem of the Jialan Monarch Palace.
Regardless of her beautiful countenance or her perfect figure, all of them were enough to cause people to drool.
"Beiming, you have obtained the Lifire Empyrean's favor. Your future would surely be boundless." A faint smile appeared on Crow's face, as though there was a deeper meaning in his words.
"I will naturally remember the Lifire Empyrean's kindness." Princess Kitamura coldly spoke. Crow laughed before he continued in a low voice, "You should know that the Lifire Empyrean has always been extremely unhappy with Jialan. Maybe in the future, you will have a chance to replace him and become one of the nine monarchs, ruling over a region."
Although the Crow Emperor was a peak-stage immortal emperor, he didn't feel that he was inferior to the Jialan Monarch. However, there were only nine positions among the nine monarchs and each of them had their own reasons. Although the status of working under the Lifire Empyrean was extraordinary, how could it be compared to the monarchs who ruled over a region?
The nine monarchs ruled over a vast region. Everything here was decided by the monarchs. This was definitely an extremely lucrative job.
"Do as the Lifire Empyrean says." Princess Kitamura calmly replied. After that, she walked away. The Crow Emperor stared at her beautiful back view as a faint smile appeared in his eyes. This woman and the one who was captured, were two completely different kinds of beauties. Sadly, it wasn't easy to obtain her.
"Mhm?" At this moment, a cold light flashed in Crow's eyes. He turned his gaze towards the boundary of the emperor palace as a deep smile appeared on his face. His silhouette flashed, but not only did he not head there, he headed in the opposite direction instead.
Outside the emperor palace, Qin Wentian's figure floated down. He didn't disguise himself and appeared with his original appearance. The instant he stepped into the emperor palace, several figures blocked his path, all of them staring at Qin Wentian nervously.
Qin Wentian acted as though he didn't see them. He directly stepped out, his immortal sense enveloped the entire area, engulfing the emperor palace. Emperor light radiated from him, resplendent to the extreme. Everywhere he passed by, screams of misery could be heard as those guards were directly killed.
This light was too resplendent, causing the emperor palace to tremble. Numerous experts soared through the air and someone spoke, "Enemy attack, activate the grand formation of the emperor palace."
Waves of dazzling light radiated outwards as boundless light cascaded downwards. The emperor palace of the Jialan Monarch naturally had a protective formation. However, when the formation was activated, it wasn't as powerful as before. Before this, when the Evil Emperor descended, he had already controlled many experts and directly destroyed many of the formations from the inside.
In a certain location in the emperor palace, a beautiful middle-aged woman stared at the light. After that, she sent her immortal sense into her messaging crystal, informing the Jialan Monarch. Beside her, there was another woman. This woman was none other than Jialan Mingyue.
Jialan Mingyue also stared at the direction of the light. Was he here?
Was he really that fellow who broke through to the immortal-foundation realm back then?
In another direction, Princess Kitamura inclined her head and stared at the direction of the light as she sighed in her heart. Did he still come after all?
