Chapter 137 - 136: Exchange Conference

Chapter 137: Chapter 136: Exchange Conference"Forget Thunder Cloud Mountain, even if Thunder Cloud Upper Country intervenes, I will obtain the Great Emperor Immortal Skill and assume the position of the Crown Prince of Ancient Yun Shang Country!" Liu Tianhao’s expression was icy cold. Just like that statement Ye Xuan made at the Lie Tian Arena. Nie Shan, Liu Tianhao, Zhang Dahai, Xu Meng. All of them had come from Ancient Yun Shang Country. Nie Shan was once a Tributor of Ancient Yun Shang Country, Xu Meng and Zhang Dahai were both his disciples. But Liu Tianhao’s real identity was not Nie Shan’s disciple but the son of the Emperor of Ancient Yun Shang Country. To vie for the position of the Crown Prince, Liu Tianhao and people like Nie Shan chose to participate in Ancient Yun Shang Country’s plan, willingly infiltrating the internal ranks of the Emperor Immortal Sect. If the plan succeeded, he would then gain tremendous merit, which would greatly increase his chances of becoming the Crown Prince. The plan was originally very meticulous: by obtaining the position of chief disciple and winning Zhou Youwei’s favor, he would have a great chance of accessing the Great Emperor Immortal Skill. Unexpectedly. Ye Xuan actually counterattacked at the last moment, shocking everyone. They too were caught completely off guard. "Now, only by showing enough potential can one come in contact with the Great Emperor Immortal Skill," Liu Tianhao evaluated with slightly narrowed eyes. At present, Ye Xuan was the center of attention; trying to cause him trouble would only make one uncomfortable. Moreover, it likely wouldn’t be possible to proceed through Zhou Youwei either. "It’s all this Ye Xuan’s fault; once I get the Great Emperor Immortal Skill, he’ll be the first I slaughter!" Liu Tianhao grew increasingly angry the more he thought about it. Nie Shan whispered, "A silver lining is that Wei Yungang and Yang Jinchun are dead. Otherwise, allowing them to live would make it difficult for both us and Yu Wenlei to succeed." "That’s true," Liu Tianhao pressed down the anger in his heart and nodded. This he could still recognize. In fact, even if Ye Xuan hadn’t stepped forward, overcoming Yang Jinchun would still be a necessary challenge to claim the position of chief disciple. Luckily, that fellow and his master were too arrogant, becoming prominent targets and were killed instantaneously by a spear from Mu Baicheng. "What’s the status with Yu Wenlei? Any follow-up actions?" Liu Tianhao asked. Nie Shan shook his head, "Wen Lin hasn’t sent any messages yet." "Let’s not rush, just wait for now," said Liu Tianhao. Meanwhile. In Yu Wenlei’s cave dwelling. The clouds were vast, and spiritual energy spread everywhere. It truly was a blessed land of immortals. However, inside the cave dwelling. Yu Wenlei’s expression was extremely gloomy; he threw a tantrum the moment he returned to the cave dwelling, with Huang Nian and Wen Lin standing by, not daring to speak. "What background does this Ye Xuan really have?!" Yu Wenlei’s gaze was dark, "Wasn’t it said that this guy was just a pitiful son-in-law? Damn it!" Even Yu Wenlei couldn’t help but curse. The plan was completely disrupted. "Master, that guy is even stronger than Yang Jinchun, and what’s most crucial is the attitude of the high-level members of the Emperor Immortal Sect towards him... it’s nothing like what we imagined," Huang Nian also looked extremely troubled. "He indeed was a pitiful son-in-law, at least until about two months ago," Wen Lin said calmly. "Junior Brother Wen, do you still believe that those pieces of information are true?" Huang Nian furrowed his brows, his expression grim, and said, "From what I see, that was just a rumor spread deliberately by the Emperor Immortal Sect to cover the actual prowess of Ye Xuan." Wen Lin shook his head, "I have investigated his background; he comes from a branch of the Ye Family. As a child, he was indeed exceptionally bright, but he turned idiotic at the age of eleven and was taken back to the Emperor Immortal Sect by Zhou Youwei when he was fifteen." "According to reliable information, Zhou Youwei came to find Ye Xuan because they had a marriage arrangement, and also because Zhou Youwei wanted to avoid an arranged marriage with Zhao Yulong, the Saint Heir of Luotian Sacred Land, so she married Ye Xuan." "During the year of their marriage, despite Zhou Youwei’s protection, Ye Xuan was still subjected to ridicule within the Emperor Immortal Sect; even Outer Sect disciples could bully him..." "Enough, your ’reliable information’ now seems totally unreliable," Huang Nian interrupted Wen Lin’s narration impatiently. Wen Lin opened his mouth but ultimately did not speak further. Yu Wenlei pondered for a moment before sighing, "We have no other options now. We’ll keep our troops still for now, see if Nie Shan has any moves. You two must also participate in the meeting after five days, try to win some glory for the Emperor Immortal Sect, so that they truly accept us." "After that, establish contact with Thunder Cloud Mountain again and see if they have any further arrangements." For now, that was the only plan. "Yes, Master!" Huang Nian and Wen Lin both respectfully said. ...... ...... What seemed like a peaceful Emperor Immortal Sect was in fact undercurrents surging. After the Emperor Immortal Sect gained a massive amount of cultivation resources through the Luotian Sacred Land, many surrounding sects and sacred lands harbored crooked thoughts towards them. Some coveted the cultivation resources of the Emperor Immortal Sect, and others coveted the Great Emperor Immortal Skill. These sect forces could not get any information from the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect. In their eyes, the Emperor Immortal Sect, in dealing with Luotian Sacred Land, had played all its trump cards, and Zhou Zihuang’s return seemingly proved that the Emperor Immortal Sect was externally strong but internally weak. As long as they pushed harder, they could take down the Emperor Immortal Sect. Now, to the surrounding forces, the Emperor Immortal Sect seemed like a fat sheep. Ancient Yun Shang Country, Thunder Cloud Mountain, Yungang Mountain, just to name a small portion... It was like the chess game Zhou Zihuang and Mu Baicheng were playing, a checkmate situation. The only way to turn the tables was to smash the chessboard and jump out. As for how to smash the chessboard and jump out, that was what the Emperor Immortal Sect needed to do. There were still five days until the convening of the exchange conference. Many disciples were immersed in cultivation, and in their spare time, they talked about Ye Xuan. Ye Xuan had truly become a topic of conversation for everyone. Especially those disciples who had personally seen Ye Xuan fight in the Lie Tian Arena were very vivid in their descriptions, causing many who hadn’t gone to cry with regret. "Ye Xuan’s strength absolutely qualifies him for the position of senior brother. In this exchange conference, he will definitely shock the people of Lie Tian Heavenly Country!" "Yes, Yang Jinchun is a top Sealing King, yet he was killed outright by Ye Xuan. Such strength, I’m afraid, could compete with the Sealing King Level!" "What on earth has Ye Xuan consumed? Why is he so exaggerated? Just over two months ago, he hadn’t even regained his consciousness!" a disciple exclaimed. "Who knows, maybe heaven couldn’t stand to see the Holy Daughter marry such a guy," another disciple said with a tang of acidity. Such words continuously spread throughout the nine main peaks. Everyone learned of Ye Xuan’s terrifying true strength, and his former infamy also vanished. Along with Ye Xuan’s strength, it filled many disciples with confidence for this exchange conference. In past years’ exchange conferences, the Emperor Immortal Sect had always been at a disadvantage, no matter the realm of the combat. They were always dominated by Lie Tian Academy, leading to the sect’s disciples having little confidence, many adopting an attitude of fighting just to fight. But this time, they were all filled with fighting spirit! In such an atmosphere, five days passed in a flash. This day was the date of the exchange conference between the Emperor Immortal Sect and Lie Tian Academy. Earlier on, the Emperor Immortal Sect and Lie Tian Academy had agreed to hold this exchange conference at the Wansheng Mountain Arena. The Wansheng Mountain Arena, located at the border between the Emperor Immortal Sect and Lie Tian Academy. This was also for the sake of fairness. Early in the morning, many disciples of the Emperor Immortal Sect gathered at the Lie Tian Arena, ready to set off. A total of over a hundred disciples participated in the exchange conference. Twenty from the Divine Gate Realm, fifty from the Daoist Platform Realm, and thirty from the Inscriptions Realm. The rest were of the Prince Level. Youwei Zhou, Ye Xuan, Huang Nian, Wen Lin, and Liu Tianhao were among those who appeared. As for Zhang Dahai and Xu Meng, they were laid up in bed. Although Ye Xuan was only of the Divine Gate Realm, as the chief disciple of the Emperor Immortal Sect, he had to represent the sect at the Prince Level. In this battle, many disciples of the Emperor Immortal Sect were visibly excited. The exchange conference, was it finally going to start? Ye Xuan and Youwei Zhou stood at the forefront of the group, quietly waiting. Boom——— The next moment, a figure suddenly appeared in the sky, a man in a green robe, standing proudly in the heavens, as dashing as an Immortal. The Sect Master of the Emperor Immortal Sect, Zhou Zihuang! "Depart." Searᴄh the Novёlƒire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. With a wave of Zhou Zihuang’s hand, all the participating disciples automatically soared into the sky, closely following behind Zhou Zihuang.
