His explanation was within Yue Qianchou's expectations, but he had misunderstood Yue Qianchou's meaning. Yue Qianchou asked himself, why not the 14 Immortal Monarchs? Since the silver ball given to Immortal Monarch Crocodile was already in the Immortal World, then Immortal Monarch Crocodile must have also returned to the Immortal World …
"I heard that Immortal Monarch Crocodile came back with Immortal Monarch Wu Ji? Did I hear wrongly? "Yue Qianchou slowly asked without batting an eyelid.
Huo Yunlong and Du Feng looked at each other in surprise. They did not expect an itinerant cultivator to know such a secret. Tao Zhong's eyes flickered. He was even more certain that Yue Qianchou was a rich second generation. Otherwise, how could an ordinary person hear such high-level news?
Du Feng sighed. "Immortal Monarch Crocodile was one of the top figures in the Immortal World back then. Who knew that after he came back with Immortal Monarch Wu Ji, his cultivation level had fallen to the Exalted Immortal late-stage by the Myriad Swords Demon Lord. With his current cultivation level, he is no longer qualified to be an Immortal Monarch. If not for Immortal Monarch Wu Ji's protection, he would have lost his life this time. "
"Oh!" Yue Qianchou's eyes flashed, and his heart surged. However, he still wore a doubtful expression and asked, "No matter what, he was one of the 12 great Immortal Monarchs back then. Could it be that someone wants to kill him?"
Du Feng looked at Huo Yunlong. The latter paused, then said slowly, "The Immortal Monarch that the Immortal Emperor promoted was his old enemy. Not only did this enemy occupy Immortal Monarch Crocodile's Immortal Crocodile Palace, but he also slaughtered Immortal Monarch Crocodile's trusted aides. I heard that because of this, Immortal Monarch Crocodile could not hold back his anger and spoke rudely in the palace. He talked back to the Immortal Emperor on the spot and was seriously injured. If not for Immortal Monarch Wu Ji's protection, I'm afraid Immortal Monarch Crocodile would have lost his life. "
"I see!" Yue Qianchou nodded slowly, his expression slightly solemn. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Old monster, you yourself once said that there's no place for you in the Immortal World. Why are you asking for trouble …?
However, he could understand Immortal Lord Crocodile's feelings. Immortal Lord Crocodile had spent so much effort to return to the Celestial World because he was confident. Perhaps he wanted to find his trusted subordinates and make a comeback. Who knew that when he returned, he would find that everything had changed. Not only had his trusted subordinates been killed by his enemies, but even his territory had been occupied by them. The most unbearable thing was that all of this was tacitly allowed by the Immortal Emperor that he was loyal to all those years ago. This was tantamount to breaking his last trace of hope, so how could he swallow this? It was understandable that he was impulsive.
The level of the conversation between the three was too high, so Mu Tianjiao and the others had no right to interrupt. They could only listen quietly from the side. Besides, this kind of high-level grudge was not something they could usually hear.
"In that case, Immortal Lord Crocodile, who was severely injured by the Immortal Emperor, has been taken away by Immortal Lord Wu Ji?" Yue Qianchou asked again.
"It should be." Huo Yunlong nodded. Du Feng's eyebrows twitched slightly. He found that Yue Qianchou seemed to be very concerned about Immortal Lord Crocodile. He could not help but ask, "Brother Yue, do you know Immortal Lord Crocodile?"
Yue Qianchou was startled. He said in surprise, "How could I know him? I'm just a little impressed. It's the first time I've heard of someone daring to talk back to an Immortal Emperor. If there's a chance, I'd like to meet this audacious Immortal Lord Crocodile. By the way, where is Immortal Lord Wu Ji who took away Immortal Lord Crocodile? "
Du Feng smiled. "Actually, Immortal Lord Wu Ji's original Immortal Palace has also been occupied by another Immortal Lord. Logically speaking, there has never been a thirteenth Immortal Lord in the Celestial World since ancient times. Even if Immortal Lord Wu Ji returns from the human world, it is unlikely that he will become an Immortal Lord again. But Immortal Lord Wu Ji is a little special … "
At this point, he stopped, but the smile on his face was somewhat ambiguous. Yue Qianchou asked suspiciously, "Immortal Lord Wu Ji is a little special? What's so special about her? "
Du Feng shook his head with a smile and said nothing more. Huo Yunlong, on the other hand, snorted. "What can't be said? It's something that everyone knows. The Celestial World is divided into thirteen Celestial Prefectures. Other than the one that the Immortal Emperor presides over, the other twelve Celestial Prefectures are ruled by twelve Immortal Lords. Hmph! Now there's a thirteenth Immortal Lord. Where are we going to divide the territory for Ji Wu? Everyone knows that the Immortal Emperor once pursued Ji Wu and wanted to make Ji Wu the Immortal Empress, but Ji Wu refused. If it weren't for this relationship, the Immortal Emperor wouldn't have shown mercy and let Ji Wu save Immortal Lord Crocodile. "
Damn! What big gossip! Yue Qianchou's eyes lit up. "The Immortal Emperor likes Ji Wu?" When he remembered that he had touched the Immortal Emperor's woman, this feeling …
Du Feng smiled bitterly and looked at Huo Yunlong, as if he was blaming him for speaking out of turn. Mu Tianjiao and the others were dumbfounded.
"No one knows whether he likes Ji Wu or not, but there's definitely something going on." Huo Yunlong chuckled. "This time, there's a thirteenth Immortal Lord. Some people have already guessed that the Immortal Emperor wants to rule the same Celestial Prefecture as Ji Wu. I believe that it won't be long before the matter of the Immortal Empress is brought up again … In fact, Immortal Lord Ji Wu herself is well aware of this and has already rejected the appointment of another Immortal Lord. But the Immortal Emperor insists, and Immortal Lord Ji Wu doesn't dare to offend the Immortal Emperor too much. Otherwise, no matter how big the Celestial World is, there's no place for her to stand.
Du Feng couldn't bear it anymore. He stopped him in a low voice. "Huo Yunlong, these are all your guesses. Which eye of yours saw it? Be careful."
Huo Yunlong said disdainfully, "All the major sects and noble families have people in the Celestial Palace. Many people have seen this, and I'm not the only one talking about it. Besides, no one has any disrespect for the Immortal Emperor. They're just exclaiming about Immortal Lord Ji Wu's charm. "
"Brother Yue, don't listen to his nonsense." Du Feng changed the topic and smiled. "I advise Brother Yue to give up on the idea of meeting Immortal Lord Crocodile. Although he's down and out now, he has Immortal Lord Ji Wu's protection. He's not someone people like us can meet."
Yue Qianchou also knew that if he continued to talk about Immortal Lord Crocodile, it would really arouse suspicion. He changed the topic and asked, "The two of you must have an extraordinary status in the Mythical Fire Palace and the Spirit Cultivation Sect, right?"
As he spoke, there was a slight smile on his face as he glanced at the two groups of people standing on the hillside in an orderly manner. These people were completely different from the groups of people from the other sects. These two groups of people seemed to be the subordinates of Du Feng and Huo Yunlong. Without receiving orders, they did not dare to move. Clearly, they did not have the kind of relationship that disciples from the same sect would have. Without a doubt, these two people had extraordinary statuses.
Du Feng shook his head and smiled bitterly. "Our status is a little bit different. Both of us are blood relatives of our respective sect leaders. The sect leader is our ancestor. But you also know that there are countless blood relatives like us in the various sects, so there's really nothing strange about it. "
Yue Qianchou softly said, "Oh." He could understand this. The Immortal World was different from the human world. If there were no accidents, the old guys in the Immortal World would be old men who wouldn't die. After countless years, they would probably have countless children and grandchildren. However, he couldn't help but look at the two teams of people on the hillside. He had a feeling that things weren't as simple as Du Feng said.
Du Feng clearly saw through his doubts, so he waved his hand and said, "Brother Yue, please don't misunderstand. Our fathers just happened to hold some positions in their respective sects, and these people are all disciples under our fathers. Brother Yue will naturally understand the reason when you have the chance in the future."
Yue Qianchou looked at the two of them and said with a smile, "It can't be that the two of you are looking for me just to chat about family matters, right?"
Du Feng looked at Huo Yunlong and said with a hearty smile, "The disciples of all the major sects in the Ruins of God have gathered here. It has already become a place of trouble. Brother Yunlong and I were afraid that it wouldn't be safe, so we joined forces. I believe that there are many sects that are doing the same thing as us." As he said that, he swept his gaze across the people from the Four Links Chamber of Commerce. He stared at Yue Qianchou and asked, "I wonder if the Four Links Chamber of Commerce is interested in joining forces with us to search for treasures? The treasures obtained will be divided equally among the three sects. What does Brother Yue think? "
"I'm only being hired by the Four Links Chamber of Commerce. I can't make the decision on this matter. I'm afraid …" Yue Qianchou stared at Mu Tianjiao. Before he could finish speaking, Mu Tianjiao took a step forward and bowed to him, saying, "Mister Yue, please make the decision. Mu Tianjiao will listen to Mister's instructions."
She could be considered a smart person. She naturally knew that the reason why large sects like the Mythical Flame Palace and the Spirit Cultivation Sect were willing to take the initiative to cooperate was definitely not because of her Four Links Chamber of Commerce. A small chamber of commerce like the Four Links Chamber of Commerce would probably not even be willing to look them in the eye. Furthermore, they wanted to give a huge benefit to the Four Links Chamber of Commerce. It was nothing more than giving face to Yue Qianchou. She naturally had to tactfully take the initiative to give up her authority. As long as she could tie down Yue Qianchou, many problems would no longer be a problem …
Du Feng and Huo Yunlong glanced at Mu Tianjiao and smiled at each other. They discovered that this woman was really a smart person. Yue Qianchou stared at Mu Tianjiao and fell into a short silence. To be honest, he rather admired this woman and did not wish for anything to happen to her in this dangerous place. Besides, he also wanted to make friends with two large sects. After all, he was too unfamiliar with the Immortal World and needed a starting point. He paused and said, "Since that's the case, I'll make the decision on behalf of the Four Links Chamber of Commerce. I hope that the Mythical Flame Palace and the Spirit Cultivation Sect will take good care of the Four Links Chamber of Commerce."
"Haha! Brother Yue is indeed a straightforward person. "Huo Yunlong laughed. Du Feng also laughed and said, "Since it's a cooperation, everyone naturally has to take care of each other." Yue Qianchou also followed the two of them and politely said. He understood in his heart that these two fellows would definitely not stick to him for no reason. They definitely had a purpose, but he did not point it out. He wanted to see what exactly these two fellows were plotting.
After the three parties exchanged pleasantries, under Yue Qianchou's decision, the three teams of people continued to head deeper into the Divine Ruin Realm. Mu Tianjiao, who had increased her confidence, happily led her people to take the lead. Tao Zhong and the others who were hired also heaved a sigh of relief. Now that they had joined forces with the people from the two great sects, the risk of danger for everyone would be greatly reduced. Furthermore, there was an expert like Yue Qianchou holding the line …
