Chapter 57 - 56 Post-Event Negotiations

57: Chapter 56 Post-Event Negotiations 57 -56 Post-Event Negotiations All around the Emperor Immortal Sect, the powers of the Sect had witnessed a fine spectacle today. This spectacle had changed their attitude toward the Emperor Immortal Sect. But many harbored ill intentions. “Indeed, there exists the Great Emperor Immortal Skill within the Emperor Immortal Sect!” “Although we do not know what they relied on to defeat the expedition from Luotian Sacred Land, today is an indication – more Sects will attack the Emperor Immortal Sect in the future!” “Oh, the Great Emperor Immortal Skill, how alluring it is. If one could obtain it, how wonderful that would be.” “We should not even think about it. If the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect learns that the Emperor Immortal Sect possesses the Great Emperor Immortal Skill, they will surely send someone to take it. If we act first, we might be targeted, and by then, we wouldn’t even know how we died.” “All in all, the Emperor Immortal Sect is not to be trifled with for now. Let’s just focus on our own affairs…” Many forces discussed this in secret. Meanwhile, within the Lie Tian Heavenly Country, many high-ups felt some regret. “We shouldn’t have been hasty to separate from the Emperor Immortal Sect, they actually had the Great Emperor Immortal Skill and other secrets!” a senior Prince sighed endlessly. “Even so, the strength of the Emperor Immortal Sect couldn’t possibly surpass our Lie Tian Heavenly Country. Separation was a matter of time,” said a General firmly. “It’s a pity that we couldn’t obtain the Great Emperor Immortal Skill,” a high-ranking official from the Lie Tian Academy sighed. “If the Great Emperor Immortal Skill were placed within our Lie Tian Academy, how wonderful that would be.” “No wonder Zhou Youwei displayed such valor, turns out she had secretly cultivated the Great Emperor Immortal Skill.” “If our Lie Tian Academy had the Great Emperor Immortal Skill, we could definitely produce countless strong fighters!” Amid myriad discussions, the King of Lie Tian Heavenly Country slowly spoke out with a grand and authoritative voice that spread slowly, “Let us discuss this no further. From now on, our Lie Tian Heavenly Country will no longer have any dealings with the Emperor Immortal Sect.” With this statement, the discussions abruptly ceased. The King’s words were as good as a royal decree, and those who disobeyed would be committing a serious offense, punishable by death. Despite many feeling regret, the reality was before them, and no one could change it. It’s not like they could now shamelessly beg the Emperor Immortal Sect to take back control of the Lie Tian Heavenly Country and bestow the Great Emperor Immortal Skill, right? Not to mention whether it was feasible, the Emperor Immortal Sect would surely not agree. They were not fools. In the end, they could only think positively about it. “It’s a great thing that the Lie Tian Heavenly Country separated from the Emperor Immortal Sect. Now, the oppression from the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect against the Emperor Immortal Sect will not affect Lie Tian Heavenly Country.” “Speaking of the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect, the news of the Emperor Immortal Sect possessing the Great Emperor Immortal Skill will likely reach them soon, and by then, the Emperor Immortal Sect will probably have to hand it over willingly to save their own lives.” “Thinking this way, it does seem quite relieving.” … Meanwhile, Zhao Zichuan, alone, quietly left the Luotian Sacred Land and headed to the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect to meet Ning Zhengtian. When he saw Ning Zhengtian again, Zhao Zichuan was startled. Ning Zhengtian’s cultivation had suddenly fallen to the Prince Realm, even showing signs of slipping into the Inscriptions Realm. “Brother Ning, what happened?” Zhao Zichuan couldn’t help but ask. Ning Zhengtian’s face was pale, and he revealed a bitter smile, “Brother Zhao, do not laugh at me, but this is all because of a person from the Emperor Immortal Sect named Ye Xuan.” “What?!” Zhao Zichuan was immediately shocked. Ning Zhengtian bitterly smiled, “This person wields an extremely tricky power. Even I suffered a great loss against him, and there is a Sect decree that one must absolutely not provoke this person.” “I heard that there seemed to be some conflicts between Emperor Immortal Sect and your Luotian Sacred Land, brother. Let me warn you, do not provoke that man named Ye Xuan,” Ning Zhengtian solemnly advised Zhao Zichuan. Zhao Zichuan’s expression became complicated. Ning Zhengtian, seeing Zhao Zichuan’s expression, couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow and said, “Brother Zhao, could it be that you have already gotten yourself into trouble?” Zhao Zichuan nodded slightly, his face looking unpleasant as he said, “This man killed my son Zhao Yulong, and now he has captured my wife to blackmail Luotian Sacred Land!” Ning Zhengtian’s expression changed slightly, and he tentatively asked, “So, Brother Zhao, for this visit…” Sёarch* The Nôvel(F)ire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Zhao Zichuan gave a bitter smile, clasped his hands and said, “Not to hide from you, Junior Brother, I have come this time to actually request a few junior brothers to accompany me to the Emperor Immortal Sect…” “Brother Zhao, please go back. I cannot offer any help in this matter.” Before Zhao Zichuan could finish speaking, Ning Zhengtian had already decisively cut him off. Zhao Zichuan’s face turned slightly pale, but he persisted, saying, “Junior Brother Ning, how did I treat you back in the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect?” “Brother treated me as his own brother, and I have always kept this in my heart,” Ning Zhengtian stated solemnly, but then immediately shifted his tone, “But because of this, I kindly advise you, Brother, that you must not provoke this person.” “Why exactly? Can Brother give me a definite answer?” Zhao Zichuan’s face turned a shade paler. Ning Zhengtian looked around and then signaled Zhao Zichuan to come closer, before whispering into his ear, “The Supreme Sect Leader has personally ordered…” These few words struck Zhao Zichuan like a bolt from the blue, turning his face extremely pale, and he unconsciously stepped back a few steps. Seeing Zhao Zichuan’s demeanor, Ning Zhengtian felt compassion and sighed, “Brother Zhao, heed my advice. Ye Xuan is exceedingly eerie. If you don’t wish death upon yourself, it’s better not to provoke him.” “As for your nephew Zhao Yulong’s death, it’s irreversible.” “Instead of grieving, Brother Zhao, it might be wiser to have another child with your wife; though it is hard to hear, this too is a genuinely wise decision…” Ning Zhengtian patted Zhao Zichuan’s shoulder, sighing as he spoke. Zhao Zichuan’s face looked ashen, his eyes devoid of spirit, as though his soul had left him. The phrase ‘The Supreme Sect Leader has personally ordered’ still echoed in his heart. Who exactly was Ye Xuan, and why had he reached such a stature that even the Supreme Sect Leader had to issue a personal order? After a long while, Zhao Zichuan finally came back to his senses. He looked at Ning Zhengtian, slightly clasping his hands as he said, “Thank you for letting me know, Junior Brother Ning.” Seeing Zhao Zichuan recovering, Ning Zhengtian softly said, “Brother, perhaps you should stay here for a few days. Although my place isn’t as vast or affluent as Luotian Sacred Land, it’s nevertheless a good place for nurturing your spirit.” Zhao Zichuan shook his head and replied, “No thank you, I must return to Luotian Sacred Land as soon as possible.” Seeing this, Ning Zhengtian did not insist further, clasping his hands and said, “Brother, take care. We’ll meet again another day.” Zhao Zichuan hastily left Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect. From Ning Zhengtian, he had learned an extremely crucial piece of information: absolutely not to provoke Ye Xuan, which effectively meant not to provoke the Emperor Immortal Sect. The Second Elder’s plan could no longer be implemented. Although Ye Xuan was the murderer of his son, his background had proven to be beyond Zhao Zichuan’s imagination. Continuing to provoke the Emperor Immortal Sect would be tantamount to courting death. Zhao Zichuan, having emerged from Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect, understood very well what should be done and what should not. However, at that very moment, the Second Elder of Luotian Sacred Land had already arrived at the Emperor Immortal Sect, and was currently in the Emperor Great Hall. “Elder Jiang, ten Spirit Stone Mines and five Medicine Fields, absolutely no deception,” the Second Elder said slowly, looking at Jiang Jing. Jiang Jing put down the deeds in his hands, still feeling somewhat incredulous. As Ye Xuan had said, the Second Elder of Luotian Sacred Land dared to come the very next day, bringing the deeds for ten Spirit Stone Mines and five Medicine Fields. This was indeed a tremendous surprise for the Emperor Immortal Sect! For a moment, Jiang Jing became overly excited, forgetting what he was supposed to say. “Where exactly are the ten Spirit Stone Mines and five Medicine Fields located?” Ye Xuan looked up at the Second Elder and asked slowly. Upon hearing this, Jiang Jing quickly regained his composure and handed the deeds to Ye Xuan. After taking a brief glance, Ye Xuan carelessly set them aside, looked at the Second Elder indifferently, and said evenly, “Are you looking forward to seeing Chai Runting and others beheaded tomorrow?” The Second Elder narrowed his eyes slightly, speaking in a heavy tone, “Young friend, what do you mean by this? We, Luotian Sacred Land, have given what you wanted, the ten Spirit Stone Mines and five Medicine Fields. Is the Emperor Immortal Sect planning to go back on its word?” Inside the hall, Qiu Wenhan, Wu Jingshan, Lu Chengde, and Zhou Youwei all looked at Ye Xuan, puzzled. Looking at Jiang Jing’s expression, it seemed there shouldn’t be any issues with the ten Spirit Stone Mines and the five Medicine Fields, so why did Ye Xuan say such a thing? Ye Xuan narrowed his eyes, “All ten Spirit Stone Mines and five Medicine Fields are within your Luotian Sacred Land’s territory. I fear that when our Sect members go to mine them, none will return.”
