Chapter 585: Why?
This strange woman was actually able to activate his "immortal seal." Now Yuan Chou knew that no matter how eloquent he was, he could only deceive himself.
“Cultivators from the Lesser Mystic Heaven Realm all possess a ‘Celestial Seal’ within their bodies.”
"Don't pretend in front of me."
Yunshang looked at Yuan Chou with a half-smile.
"..."
Yuan Chou didn't say anything; he just stood there, as if he had resigned himself to his fate.
The Little Mystic Realm eventually discovered these "traitors," but Yuan Chou had long known this day would come. When the Ancient Fallen Immortal Venerable declared his intention to enter the mortal world, Yuan Chou knew that the Desolate City could no longer remain hidden.
Because one of the things that Ancient Immortal Venerable would do after announcing his entry into the mortal world would definitely be to hunt down "traitors" and then wipe them all out!
And now, another powerful immortal cultivator from the Lesser Mystic Heaven Realm has arrived here.
What else could it be?
"Take me to meet the heads of the Yin and Si families. There are some things I need to discuss."
Yunshang smiled faintly.
"Don't worry, I'm not here to execute you on the spot. Gu Yun's actions back then were contrary to my opinion."
"...May I ask your honorable surname?" Yuan Chou asked in surprise.
“Yunshang,” Yunshang said bluntly.
Yuan Chou's brows furrowed in shock, and he immediately bowed, saying, "So it is Immortal Venerable Yunshang, my apologies!"
He wasn't lucky enough to witness the true face of Immortal Yunshang back then, as he was just a minor pseudo-immortal at the time. Now he was still a minor pseudo-immortal, but with Yunshang standing right in front of him, Yuan Chou still felt a deep sense of respect.
"Alright, enough with the formalities, lead the way."
Yuan Chou quickly led the way.
Before long, they arrived at the Yin family's mansion. Just then, the old master of the Si family, Si Chen, was drinking and having fun, chatting happily with Yin Rufeng.
"Master of Books, Master of Painting, Immortal Venerable Yunshang has arrived."
Yuan Chou respectfully reported this at the courtyard gate.
Upon hearing this, Yin Rufeng and Si Chen immediately stopped talking.
The two looked towards the courtyard gate, and when they saw Yunshang appear there, their expressions changed simultaneously! Si Chen's old face turned extremely ugly!
Yin Rufeng stood up abruptly, his eyes instantly filled with vigilance and wariness. However, there seemed to be no need for vigilance and wariness, so he only tensed up for a moment before relaxing.
He had heard of Yunshang and even had the opportunity to see her from afar once.
Although he had already broken through to the Immortal Lord level, in front of a half-step Immortal Venerable, an Immortal Lord was no match at all. Moreover, Yunshang did not directly attack and raze the entire desolate city to the ground, which meant that she at least did not come with hostility.
That being the case.
Let's hear what she has to say first.
"...I never expected that Immortal Venerable Yunshang would personally grace the territory of us 'sinners' with her presence. We are truly sorry for not welcoming her properly."
Yin Rufeng nodded slightly in acknowledgment, his tone calm and his attitude neither humble nor arrogant. He also waved his hand, signaling Yuan Chou to step back. Yuan Chou was probably already drenched in sweat; even just leading the way while standing next to Yunshang was incredibly stressful.
Yunshang smiled and said, "Patriarch Yin, there's no need to mock me. Back then, even though I wanted to stand up for you, you didn't inform me beforehand. By the time I found out, you had already brought your families to this Xuantian Realm. Gu Yun had already labeled you traitors and sent elite troops to hunt you down..."
"These things are not very wise to do."
Hear the words.
Yin Rufeng could only manage a wry smile: "Could it be that, as one of the Thirteen Immortal Venerables, Immortal Venerable Yunshang is willing to confront Immortal Venerable Guyun head-on for the sake of us?"
"Of course I dare."
Yunshang sneered.
Not to mention now, even back then, Yunshang was one of the thirteen immortals who openly dared to contradict Gu Yun.
Because she knew that Gu Yun would never dare to turn against her. If there were any discord among the Immortal Venerables, then the Little Xuantian Realm would never have a day of peace.
Gu Yun could not accept that his prestige would be damaged as a result. Even though he was the first to advance to the half-step Immortal Venerable realm, he had to maintain his prestige and ensure that his authority in the Little Xuantian Realm was not affected when facing those who came after him.
“I didn’t come here intentionally for you, but I didn’t expect you to be living in seclusion here and even using formations to prevent the detection of the ‘Immortal Seal’.”
Yunshang was truly surprised that the Yin and Si families were hiding here.
Originally, she came here just to see who the "backer" supporting Qin Yiyao was.
"But since we've run into each other, why don't you come with me and leave this place and go back?"
“Gu Yun’s prestige has plummeted. With my guarantee, you can return to the Little Mystic Heaven Realm with peace of mind,” Yunshang said calmly.
If the Yin and Si families could be brought back, it would undoubtedly be another severe blow to Gu Yun's prestige!
Back then, both families only wanted to live in the Xuan Tian Realm, but they were labeled "traitors" and hunted down. Yet now, the Little Xuan Tian Realm has entered the mortal world.
It was one thing to hunt them down before, but now that we're in the world of mortals, times have changed. If Gu Yun still doesn't intend to let them go, then things are getting a bit...
Is that too much?
Yunshang's idea was also very simple.
Humans help humans.
Gu Yun wasn't human; he was an old, ruthless dragon that made her grit her teeth. So from the very beginning, Yunshang didn't consider Gu Yun as "one of her own."
It was inevitable that someone would disagree. Upon hearing this...
Yin Rufeng's expression immediately became extremely complicated.
He remained silent for a long time before finally saying, "Immortal Venerable Yunshang, please forgive my rudeness, but please allow us to refuse this matter."
This time, it was Yunshang's turn to be taken aback.
Because she hadn't expected that Yin Rufeng would choose to refuse.
The environment in the Xuan Tian Realm is too poor; it can't compare to the Xiao Xuan Tian Realm. If people live here for a long time, it will be absolutely impossible for their descendants to ascend to immortality.
Even if not for yourself, at least think about future generations.
"You...you don't want to go back?"
She asked, frowning.
Yin Rufeng shook his head: "Our Yin family has never forgotten that we are from the Lesser Xuantian Realm. Of course we will return. However, our Yin family has a great opportunity here now, so it is better not to leave for the time being."
A great opportunity? What great opportunity?
Yunshang suddenly wondered if Gu Yun had deceived everyone. Why did the Xuan Tian Realm, which he described as having "severed the path to immortality and no future," suddenly have such a great opportunity that even immortal cultivators cared about?
"What kind of extraordinary opportunity would make you stay and take the risk?"
Yunshang couldn't help but ask, "The power of the Demon Realm is also very close, that's no exaggeration. If you stay in the Xuan Tian Realm, you will also be drawn in... Wait!"
Before she could finish speaking, her eyes widened.
Yunshang then realized that she had been overlooking something terrifying!
"You...you've actually broken through to the Immortal Lord level?!"
She stared at Yin Rufeng in utter horror.
Yin Rufeng remained silent, only sighing inwardly.
"Then how come there's no Heavenly Dao here..."
Yunshang looked up and saw that the sky was filled with drifting clouds and bright sunshine, with no possibility of any unusual phenomenon occurring!
Yin Rufeng broke through to the Immortal Lord level, yet he didn't incur the wrath of Heaven's will?!
How can he still sit here so calmly?!
Why--?!
