Chapter 49 - 48 Visitors from Lie Tian Heavenly Country

49: Chapter 48: Visitors from Lie Tian Heavenly Country 49 -48: Visitors from Lie Tian Heavenly Country “At the third watch after noon today, you dare to execute a disciple of the Luotian Sacred Land Elder?!” This news, once announced, directly shocked the forces around the Emperor Immortal Sect. The Lie Tian Heavenly Country was greatly shaken as well. In an instant, the high-ranking officials from the Lie Tian Academy came together, requesting the Lie Tian Heavenly Country’s monarch to intervene and pressure the Emperor Immortal Sect. They were very aware that once the Emperor Immortal Sect executed someone from the Luotian Sacred Land, the Lie Tian Heavenly Country would also suffer, and the Lie Tian Academy could not remain uninvolved. However, they didn’t want to be entangled with the Luotian Sacred Land for no reason, so they wanted the Lie Tian Heavenly Country to step in and intervene in the Emperor Immortal Sect’s decision! The Lie Tian Heavenly Country was also acutely aware of this, and without any hesitation, as soon as Ye Xuan’s order was issued, they sent representatives to the Emperor Immortal Sect to meet with Sect Master Jiang Jing. “Elder Jiang, if your sect executes someone from the Luotian Sacred Land, then my Lie Tian Heavenly Country will have to go to war with them, which is something neither side wishes to see,” “On behalf of His Majesty and the entire Lie Tian Heavenly Country, I earnestly request Elder Jiang to retract the execution order.” The messenger spoke thus to Jiang Jing. Jiang Jing felt somewhat uncomfortable upon hearing this. When the Luotian Sacred Land and the Emperor Immortal Sect were at war, she saw no one from the Lie Tian Heavenly Country coming to help. Now that the Emperor Immortal Sect had won and wanted some spoils of war, the Luotian Sacred Land’s side was being evasive. The Emperor Immortal Sect’s response was now being obstructed by the Lie Tian Heavenly Country, which would be uncomfortable for anyone. Jiang Jing calmly said, “General Wang, this matter was the result of a collective decision by my entire Emperor Immortal Sect; I am afraid I cannot retract the execution order.” “Elder Jiang, you are putting the Lie Tian Heavenly Country on the fire here.” General Wang’s face slightly darkened. “Hey hey hey————” Just then, a voice came from outside the hall. Ye Xuan and Zhou Youwei entered the hall together. Ye Xuan glanced at General Wang and said indifferently, “Seems like you are mistaken about something.” “Is it my Emperor Immortal Sect that controls your Lie Tian Heavenly Country, or is it your Lie Tian Heavenly Country that controls my Emperor Immortal Sect?” “When the Luotian Sacred Land attacked us, I saw no troops from you coming to help. Now that the Luotian Sacred Land has been defeated by our sect, you come to us asking not to kill the enemy; isn’t that a bit too selfish?” “Who is this?” General Wang glanced at Ye Xuan and then turned to Jiang Jing, frowning. Jiang Jing smiled slightly and said, “He is my Emperor Immortal Sect’s son-in-law, Ye Xuan.” Jiang Jing absolutely agreed with what Ye Xuan had just said. After all, the Lie Tian Heavenly Country was just being selfish, afraid that they would bear the consequences, which is why they had come to trouble them. “The Emperor Immortal Sect’s son-in-law…” General Wang hesitated for a moment, then his frown deepened and, putting down his teacup, he said indifferently, “Since when has even a fool been allowed to interfere?” Jiang Jing snorted coldly, saying, “Sorry, Ye Xuan is now the new Chief Disciple of the Emperor Immortal Sect. He has the right to be involved in this matter.” Since witnessing various impressive acts by Ye Xuan, Jiang Jing had started to protect him. Especially in the presence of outsiders, Jiang Jing was even more protective. “Hm?” When General Wang heard this, he suddenly paused, then looking towards Ye Xuan, he laughed: “Then, it seems I was at fault. I didn’t realize this fool had become the Chief Disciple of the Emperor Immortal Sect.” “Cut the nonsense. Asking my sect to retract the execution order is out of the question,” Ye Xuan said unhurriedly. General Wang’s eyes showed a trace of murderous intent as he forcefully said, “If the Emperor Immortal Sect insists on doing this, then I, representing the Lie Tian Heavenly Country, declare that the Lie Tian Heavenly Country will no longer be controlled by the Emperor Immortal Sect!” This statement immediately turned Jiang Jing’s face ashen. The Lie Tian Heavenly Country had always been controlled by the Emperor Immortal Sect. Now, General Wang was actually suggesting that the Lie Tian Heavenly Country should sever ties with the Emperor Immortal Sect?! This was an absolute insult to the Emperor Immortal Sect! “Oh?” Ye Xuan replied with a calm smile, “So that’s the real purpose of your Lie Tian Heavenly Country, isn’t it?” General Wang snorted coldly, “If the Emperor Immortal Sect retracts the execution order and apologizes to the Luotian Sacred Land, then the Lie Tian Heavenly Country will still be under the control of the Emperor Immortal Sect. Otherwise, with your sect’s status, thinking to control the Lie Tian Heavenly Country is probably not enough!” At that moment, General Wang seemed to have figured it all out, laying his true intentions bare. Bang! Jiang Jing smashed the table next to her, her face iron blue with a hint of murderous intent. General Wang glanced at Jiang Jing, speaking indifferently, “So, is Elder Jiang thinking of making a move?” Boom! The next moment, a murderous aura surged from General Wang’s body. The iron-blooded aura rose to the skies, and he actually suppressed Jiang Jing’s imposing pressure with firmness! This General Wang’s strength, it seemed, was above that of Jiang Jing! “One of the four great generals of the Lie Tian Heavenly Country, indeed well-deserved.” Jiang Jing’s face turned sour, as he squeezed out a trace of a smile.

In the end, it was still up to Ye Xuan to decide. Seeing this, Wang Shiqi felt a trace of surprise in his heart. This Ye Xuan was notoriously foolish, so why did he seem completely different from what he had imagined today? Moreover, it was rumored that the wife of the Sect Master of the Emperor Immortal Sect didn’t like Ye Xuan at all, and wanted to put him to death so that her own daughter, Zhou Youwei, could find a more suitable lover. Meeting him today did not match the rumors at all. This fool was not only not foolish but was also the chief disciple of the Emperor Immortal Sect and was clearly favored by Jiang Jing. Ye Xuan lifted his eyelids, looked at Wang Shiqi, and calmly said, “Did you just say that the Emperor Immortal Sect is not qualified to control the Lie Tian Heavenly Country?” Wang Shiqi raised his eyebrows slightly, puzzled but still said, “This is common knowledge to the world. Today’s Emperor Immortal Sect barely counts as a third-rate force, so how can it control our Lie Tian Heavenly Country?” “If Wang Yanglong were still alive, he would’ve cleaved you with a sword,” Ye Xuan said with a smirk, his eyes cold. Boom! As Ye Xuan’s words fell, the imposing pressure burst forth from Wang Shiqi! Wang Shiqi stared intently at Ye Xuan, enunciating each word, “Wang Yanglong is my Wang Family’s ancestor, and you, a worthless man, have the audacity to directly call him by his name?” Jiang Jing’s face also changed slightly, not expecting Ye Xuan to say these words. Wang Yanglong, that name was indeed known across all heavens. This man, in his day, was one of the top ten Emperor Generals under the command of Lie Tian Great Emperor, and his name shook all the heavens. And the Wang Family where Wang Shiqi belonged was precisely left by Wang Yanglong. Directly calling Wang Yanglong by his name was indeed a great disrespect. However, Ye Xuan spoke calmly but firmly, “Back in the day, the Lie Tian Heavenly Country was just a small country. Later, when Lie Tian Great Emperor emerged, leading his ten Emperor Generals, he crafted the Emperor Immortal Sect, battled across all heavens, and ultimately created a legacy that lasted for ages. They once said that the Emperor Immortal Sect would always control the Lie Tian Heavenly Country, which allowed the Lie Tian Heavenly Country to rise.” “Now just because of the Luotian Sacred Land, you are frightened and want the Lie Tian Heavenly Country to break away from the Emperor Immortal Sect. That’s really impressive!” The thing Ye Xuan despised most was this kind of ingratitude. If it weren’t for the Emperor Immortal Sect back then, where would the Lie Tian Heavenly Country be? It might have been crushed by others long ago. Now, even though the Lie Tian Heavenly Country is stronger than the Emperor Immortal Sect, they have survived up to this day thanks to the Emperor Immortal Sect. These words also made Jiang Jing and Zhou Youwei in the room have complex expressions. This matter had not been brought up for a very long time. Upon hearing this, Wang Shiqi just sneered coldly, “That’s ancient history. Bringing it up now is pointless. People should look forward, and the current strength of your Emperor Immortal Sect is far inferior to our Lie Tian Heavenly Country, yet you still proclaim publicly that the Emperor Immortal Sect controls our Lie Tian Heavenly Country. This is simply the Lie Tian Heavenly Country showing consideration for past relations.” “It has been exactly 90,000 years, your Emperor Immortal Sect is no longer the Emperor Immortal Sect of the past, and the bond between Lie Tian Heavenly Country and the Emperor Immortal Sect has long been dissolved.” “With that said, I don’t care to discuss this any further.” “If your sect does not withdraw the order, our Lie Tian Heavenly Country will separate from your sect, that’s all there is to it.” Upon finishing, Wang Shiqi stood up, staring intently at Ye Xuan, and indifferently said, “Also, about you directly calling my ancestor by his name earlier, this matter is not over yet.” “Kneel down before me!” Wang Shiqi reached out his large hand, intending to pull Ye Xuan over and force him down to the ground.
