Qingyun Immortal Nation.
Today, in the great hall where the Soul Lamps were kept, panicked voices rang out one after another.
An Immortal Monarch, nearly a hundred Celestial Monarchs, and countless Immortal Generals.
All their Soul Lamps had been extinguished.
The entire Immortal Nation was on edge, as if facing a formidable enemy!
It was terrifying!
“Who, who exactly is it!”
Atop the grand hall, Qingyan Celestial Lord was seething with anger.
“Even if there truly is some monstrous creature in the Northern Desolation, they couldn’t possibly have wiped out Qingming and the others. Surely, some of them should have escaped back here!”
“This must be a conspiracy, an ambush… It’s very likely that one of the other three great Immortal Nations is behind this!”In the elderly eyes of Qingyan Celestial Lord, a shadowy gloom prevailed.
Even if they had encountered a forbidden area, not a single one of them should have failed to return.
The more he thought about it, the more he sensed something was wrong.
That Ao Wushuang clearly could be a spy from another Immortal Nation!
“Celestial Lord, it has been confirmed that since Ao Wushuang was in Xuan Yin Immortal City, he has been nothing but a harbinger of doom!”
An Immortal Monarch stepped forward and said:
“Previously, he sent a message to Xuan Yin Immortal City claiming to have discovered news of the Celestial Monarch’s Formation-Breaking Tune, and then… Xuan Yin Immortal City was no more.”
“This time, he informed Qingxuan Immortal City that there was trouble in the Northern Desolation… Qingxuan Immortal Monarch is gone, and he alone returned alive, reporting to our Immortal Nation…”
As this Immortal Monarch spoke, he felt chills run down his spine: “Then, Qingming Celestial Lord and the other Celestial Monarchs who went there… all were lost…”
After hearing this, Qingyan Celestial Lord grew even more furious!
“What an elaborate trap this man has set up!”
“Firstly, he caused the deaths of Heavenly Lord Shengqin and Immortal Monarch Xuan Yin from Xuan Yin Immortal City, and now he has turned against our Immortal Nation!”
“This person is too strange!”
He spoke gravely, saying:
“The more this happens… the more cautious we need to be. It seems that we must prepare for war and closely monitor the news from other Immortal Nations!”
“I must immediately report this matter and seek the Immortal King’s judgement!”
He stood up and left.
The many Celestial Monarchs present exchanged glances and withdrew as well.
After everyone had gone.
The only son of Qingyan Celestial Lord entered a Secret Hall.
“The Immortal King has been in the Heavenly Fiend Abyss for almost a year now. Has there been no agreement reached with the Heavenly Fiend Abyss?”
He muttered to himself, reluctant to disturb the Immortal King unless necessary.
After all, the Heavenly Fiend Abyss was one of the three great forbidden lands of the Northern Border.
It was crucial for the Qingyun Immortal Nation to secure the support of the Heavenly Fiend Abyss, especially after the Saint Descent, for the fate of the Qingyun Immortal Nation!
He was the most senior Celestial Lord in the Qingyun Immortal Nation and was privy to many secrets.
After the Saint Descent, even immortals could be slaughtered like pigs and dogs.
Against those returning Ancient Clans, the Immortal King himself could only bow and submit as a vassal!
The Immortal Nation? It was on the brink of collapse!
But the events now transpiring were beyond his capacity to deal with.
They could possibly involve a war of Immortal Nations.
He had no choice but to send an urgent message immediately!
…
At this moment.
White Tiger Immortal Nation.
“What? A person from a minor branch ascending to the throne of the nation?!”
In the grand hall, many Celestial Lords and Immortal Monarchs were seething with anger!
“Shao Yang, this is a mockery! How could the Immortal King make such a decision?!”
An elderly Celestial Lord spoke out in anger.
“We will not acknowledge it! Even if the Immortal King has been in seclusion for ten thousand years, our clan should still select another mighty being to temporarily lead the Immortal Nation. How could we allow someone of lowly birth from a minor branch in the Lower World to rule?”
“That’s right! The despicable bloodline from the Lower World becoming our clan emperor, our nation’s ruler? The citizens of the White Tiger Immortal Nation will not accept it!”
“If this gets out, we, the White Tiger Immortal Nation, will have no standing left in the Northern Border!”
They all voiced their opinions, united in opposition.
However, Sun Junior True Monarch at the head of the table remained impassive.
“This is the Immortal King’s edict!”
He brandished the token!
“Whoever dares to disrespect it, roll out of the White Tiger Clan, expel from the White Tiger Immortal Nation!”
He directly rebuked!
Seeing this, everyone shuddered.
That was the personal token of the White Tiger Immortal King!
Moreover, they had all already experienced the command within it.
“Bai Shaoyang, although you have always served by the Immortal King’s side, we cannot let you decide this matter—we demand an audience with the Immortal King!”
An elder Celestial Monarch stood up, firmly resisting!
“Right! We want to see the Immortal King!”
“Unless the Immortal King himself comes!”
The crowd clamored!
Yet, Bai Shaoyang’s eyes darkened, and he directly dropped a droplet of his essence blood.
The essence blood fell on the token.
In an instant.
A terrifying silhouette suddenly appeared from the token!
That was… the White Tiger Immortal King!
In a flash, everyone was shocked.
“We pay our respects to the Immortal King!”
“We pay our respects to the Immortal King!”
They all knelt in unison!
The White Tiger Immortal King, standing with his hands behind his back, his hair white as frost, bore a majestic and heroic presence!
“Those who do not respect the command, die!”
The White Tiger Immortal King shouted sternly!
“Bang bang bang bang!”
In a moment, several Immortal Generals cried out in agony!
They exploded directly, turning into a mist of blood!
The White Tiger Immortal King, slaughtering his own people, was utterly ruthless, showing no mercy even to these seedling-stage Immortal Generals!
“No!”
The four elder Celestial Monarchs, seeing this, were horrified and hastily stepped forward, saying:
“Immortal King, please stay your hand!”
One thought from the Immortal King, and could he wipe out the entire White Tiger Immortal Nation? They were terrified.
The White Tiger Immortal King glanced at the four indifferently.
“Do you think that by refusing Bai Xiaofeng, you are doing what is best for the Immortal Nation?!”
“You are harming the Immortal Nation!”
The words of the White Tiger Immortal King were so severe, he said:
“Myopic, you are simply unworthy to be Celestial Monarchs of our clan!”
He raised his hand, about to make his move!
“Immortal King, spare our lives, we are willing to acknowledge Bai Xiaofeng as our lord!”
“We will follow your command!”
The four great Celestial Monarchs, hastily spoke out!
They were all trembling, stricken with fear!
Though they were Celestial Monarchs, they were but ants before the Immortal King.
Now they finally understood that no matter how much they resisted, they had no choice but to follow the edict of the Immortal King.
Otherwise, death was the only path!
“I hope you all mean what you say, because if not, I decree that you shall not enter samsara for all eternity!”
The White Tiger Immortal King spoke coldly, turned, and walked away.
His figure disappeared instantly.
Inside the great hall, the terrifying presence of the Immortal King slowly dissipated!
The four great Celestial Monarchs and many other Immortal Generals still knelt on the ground, trembling violently!
“Elders, please rise.”
Sun Junior True Monarch put away the token and spoke indifferently!
Only then did the four Celestial Monarchs stand up.
“Shao Yang… we concede, go and call Bai Xiaofeng over!”
An elder Celestial Monarch spoke up, his name was Bai Tianjing.
“The Immortal King’s edict, we… shall certainly comply.”
Another named Bai Tianshi, also a Celestial Monarch, heaved a sigh!
Only then did Sun Junior True Monarch speak indifferently,
“Good!”
“Please immediately prepare for the coronation ceremony, there’s no better day than today, let’s do it tomorrow!”
“I will now go to invite the new sovereign—Bai Xiaofeng!”
…
The news spread fast!
In a flash, the Northern Border trembled mightily!
“What? Your White Tiger Immortal Nation is changing sovereigns?”
An elder Celestial Monarch of Beichen Immortal Country faced the Immortal General from White Tiger Immortal Nation who came to deliver the invitation, his face showing deep suspicion, and said,
“Bai Xiaofeng? Who is this person?”
But the Immortal General from White Tiger Immortal Nation who brought the message only performed a ritual bow and said,
“The Celestial Monarch will know in time, I beg your pardon as I must take my leave now.”
He left at once.
The elder Celestial Monarch from Beichen Immortal Country, however, was filled with doubts and said,
“White Tiger Immortal Nation is suddenly changing its sovereign; could it be that the White Tiger Immortal King is no longer capable?!”
“Is this Bai Xiaofeng perhaps a formidable expert the White Tiger Immortal Nation kept hidden?”
“Summon my attendants, prepare, I will personally attend the White Tiger Immortal Nation’s coronation ceremony!”
…
Xueming Celestial Nation.
“Hehe, quite interesting, is it possible that the old tiger is no longer up to snuff?”
Xuanguang Celestial Lord and Xuanan Celestial Lord were both sneering.
Ever since the last time, the Xueming Immortal King returned, having absorbed an immense amount of Immortal Spiritual Qi from countless cultivators of the nation, they had to practice hard for quite some time to stabilize their condition before they came back.
“Quite interesting,”
Xuanguang Celestial Lord cracked a smile and said, “I think it’s time to see this new sovereign, Bai Xiaofeng!”
…
“White Tiger Immortal Nation is changing its sovereign at this time?”
The Qingyan Heavenly Monarch of Qingyun Immortal Nation, upon receiving the news, was even more puzzled.
Were there not too many major events occurring recently?!
“I shall attend this matter personally!”
In the absence of the Immortal King, he had no choice but to take action himself!
…
“Uncle, have you decided?”
At this moment, Sun Junior True Monarch had already returned to the Desolate Heaven Mountain Range.
Arriving at the territory of the White Tiger Lineage in Xuan Tianzhou.
“It’s possible!”
Bai Xiaofeng finally spoke!
He had been vacillating back and forth these past few days.
In the end, he could only grit his teeth and accept.
He didn’t want to be the sovereign, but… if his refusal caused a catastrophe for the entire White Tiger Clan, then he would be the sinner of the ages.
“That’s wonderful!”
Sun Junior True Monarch was overjoyed and said:
“Uncle, please come with me.”
But Bai Xiaofeng said:
“Wait a moment, I need to go to… this matter, it has to be made known to the Lord of the Desolate Heavens!”
Upon hearing this, Sun Junior True Monarch was even more elated!
This was the best outcome!
Before long, Bai Xiaofeng had already appeared outside a small mountain village.
…
In the small courtyard.
“Meow meow~~~”
In Li Fan’s arms, Xiao Bai the cat suddenly cried out a few times, and in its cat eyes, there seemed to be a touch of hesitation!
After she returned, she remained anxious.
What if the master didn’t allow it…
“Hmm? What’s wrong?”
Li Fan noticed Xiao Bai’s unusual behavior.
“Da De, Xiao Bai ran outside a few days ago. What happened?”
He asked Wu Dade.
Wu Dade was taken aback by the question and then, with a stiffened scalp, said:
“Master, there’s an old cat outside that might be related to Xiao Bai…”
He had intended to say there was an old tiger.
But the master treated Bai Xiaoqing like a cat, so in front of him, a White Tiger was a cat!
Moreover, he dared not conceal the fact and told of the relationship between that tiger outside and Bai Xiaoqing.
Upon hearing this, Li Fan laughed, so that’s how it was!
He guessed it was just a stray cat!
After all, in his small courtyard, there were only chickens, dogs, spiders, and the like.
Xiao Bai had too few playmates, so that’s why she wanted to go outside!
“Go play, just remember to come back early,” he said.
Li Fan fondly stroked Bai Xiaoqing’s head and then added, “Da De, take the dog with you and keep an eye on Xiao Bai.”
He paused and then said, “Right, fetch some food for that cat outside from the kitchen.”
Li Fan always felt sympathy for stray cats.
Upon hearing this, Wu Dade was momentarily stunned, but he quickly realized.
The master was trying to help Bai Xiaofeng ascend to power smoothly!
And he was about to bestow a great blessing!
After all, the food in the kitchen… it was all Holy Medicine!
Indeed, it was right to persuade Bai Xiaofeng to become the ruler just a few days ago; it was exactly what the master wished!
“Yes, Master!” he said.
He immediately went to fetch the food from the kitchen.
Meanwhile, Bai Xiaoqing was rolling around in Li Fan’s arms!
“Meow meow~~ The master is simply too good!”
She couldn’t help but excitedly lick Li Fan’s palm with her pink, tender tongue.
Li Fan smiled, cuddled her, then set her down on the ground, saying:
“Go on, have fun!”
Immediately, Bai Xiaoqing headed for the door.
Wu Dade promptly took the dog and followed.
Before long, they appeared outside the village.
“Qing’er, someone from the Immortal Kingdom has come,” Bai Xiaofeng said, still looking worried.
Bai Xiaoqing responded:
“Don’t worry, Father, the master… he already knows about this!”
Hearing this, a bright light appeared in Bai Xiaofeng’s eyes as he said:
“He agreed?”
Wu Dade stepped forward and said with a smile:
“Not only did he agree, but the master also had me bring you some things!”
He immediately took out a pile of food.
A boiled ear of corn, a potato.
And a rice ball, one boiled egg.
Upon seeing this, Bai Xiaofeng was completely shocked.
Heavens… What grade of Spiritual Medicine are these?! I’ve never seen them before!
That corn, clearly each kernel was like forged gold, containing the essence of the Great Dao!
That potato was clearly emitting a terrifying mystical aura, like a treasure of heaven and earth.
That rice ball, each grain was like white jade, sniff it once and feel revitalized and alert!
That boiled egg… it contained a terrifying concentration of Great Dao principles!
Is this a gift from the Lord of the Desolate Heavens?
He trembled, truly trembled at this moment!
