Imperial Martial Immortal Continent, Heaven’s Secrets Pavilion.
In the grand hall of Heaven’s Secrets Pavilion, all the elders and disciples had been dismissed.
Nangong Jing stood respectfully before three figures, bowing deeply.
“Nangong greets Immortal Emperor Ling Tian, Immortal Emperor Feng Jiu, and Immortal Emperor Wu Shi.”
The three figures nodded slightly.
Immortal Emperor Ling Tian, dressed in a deep blue robe, appeared youthful with ordinary features. If not for his imperial aura, he would be easily lost in a crowd.
Immortal Emperor Feng Jiu, in a long golden dress that trailed on the ground, looked to be in her early twenties. Her skin was fair, and while her appearance might not be stunning at first glance, her eyes were like icy springs, captivating anyone who looked into them.
Immortal Emperor Wu Shi wore a simple black robe, holding a string of beads. He was bald, chubby, and somewhat greasy, with no other distinguishing features.
“Nangong Jing, six hundred years ago, based on your words, we rushed back without delay…”
Shi Wu Shi rubbed his shiny head and spoke gravely.
Chu Ling Tian and Feng Jiu also nodded solemnly.
If what Nangong Jing had said before was true, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Even though they knew Nangong Jing, as the Pavilion Master of Heaven’s Secrets Pavilion, wouldn’t joke about such matters, the gravity of the situation required their personal visit.
Nangong Jing understood the implications of Shi Wu Shi’s words and smiled bitterly, cupping his hands respectfully. “Immortal Emperors, my lifespan is nearly exhausted because of this. I wouldn’t make baseless claims. Once Immortal Emperor Yin Yang arrives, I will take you to see the Heaven’s Secrets Mirror.”
Shi Wu Shi frowned and urged, “Don’t wait for that guy Gu Yinyang. Just take us there directly!”
Chu Ling Tian and Feng Jiu remained silent, clearly not fond of talking.
Hearing this, Nangong Jing hesitated for a moment before saying, “Then please follow me, Immortal Emperors…”
He wondered what the reactions of the Immortal Emperors would be when they saw the returning Immortal Emperor of Longevity…
Just as the four were about to head to the rear courtyard, a figure suddenly appeared, blocking their path!
Gu Yinyang stared at Nangong Jing and urgently asked,
“Where is the Immortal Emperor of Longevity?!!!”
What? Immortal Emperor of Longevity?!
Chu Ling Tian and Feng Jiu were stunned, and Shi Wu Shi was also dumbfounded!
The three of them followed Gu Yinyang’s lead, all looking at Nangong Jing!
Being stared at by four Immortal Emperors made even Nangong Jing, the Pavilion Master, feel a chill down his spine…
He wasn’t surprised by Immortal Emperor Yin Yang’s question, as six hundred years ago, they had explained everything clearly to Li Hua and the others.
Li Hua and his group might be fools, but Immortal Emperor Yin Yang was definitely not.
“Ahem, Immortal Emperors, six hundred years ago, the Immortal Emperor of Longevity returned and has been residing in the courtyard ever since.”
Nangong Jing, under immense pressure, replied solemnly.
“What?! The Immortal Emperor of Longevity has really returned?!!”
The four Immortal Emperors looked at each other in amazement. Even Chu Ling Tian and Feng Jiu, who usually kept their emotions in check, were visibly excited!
In the next moment, the four Immortal Emperors left Nangong Jing behind and took a step towards the rear courtyard.
They couldn’t wait any longer.
…
“Ahem, Immortal Emperors, please let Nangong explain. The Immortal Emperor of Longevity has indeed been residing in the Heaven’s Secrets Pavilion for the past six hundred years…”
Nangong Jing felt a bit embarrassed.
He had visited Ambrose Lu not long ago, but who would have thought that the four Immortal Emperors would come today, and now the person was missing…
There was nothing he could do about it…
The four Immortal Emperors didn’t blame Nangong Jing, as it was indeed an unavoidable situation.
“Perhaps the Immortal Emperor of Longevity has something urgent to attend to… haha.”
Shi Wu Shi rubbed his smooth head and laughed awkwardly, trying to lighten the mood.
Gu Yinyang glanced at Shi Wu Shi and said, “Among the five of us, the Immortal Emperor of Longevity is usually the most idle.”
In other words, Shi Wu Shi was just talking nonsense.
Chu Ling Tian and Feng Jiu remained silent, but it was clear they were somewhat disappointed.
Shi Wu Shi smiled and changed the topic, “I believe the Immortal Emperor of Longevity will return. Nangong, open the Heaven’s Secrets Mirror for us to see.”
“Yes.”
Nangong Jing, as he had done six hundred years ago, untied his black belt and performed a hand seal.
After the Heaven’s Secrets Mirror flashed with light,
the horrifying scene reappeared…
Moments later.
The four Immortal Emperors’ expressions turned grave!
Even the usually lively Shi Wu Shi fell silent.
“Those shadowy figures in the image, are they the Nether Demonic Clan you mentioned earlier?”
At this moment, Feng Jiu looked at Nangong Jing and asked, her voice clear and melodious but very cold.
Nangong Jing nodded and sighed, “Indeed, they are the Nether Demonic Clan…”
Chu Ling Tian frowned slightly and asked, “Nangong Jing, you previously said that the Nether Demonic Clan has at least ten beings comparable to Immortal Emperors. Is there any basis for this claim?”
Everyone else also looked at Nangong Jing intently. This was crucial for them!
If the Nether Demonic Clan had at least ten beings comparable to Immortal Emperors,
it would be a catastrophic blow to the Five Immortal Realms.
The four of them could each handle one. As for the currently missing Immortal Emperor of Longevity and Old Turtle…
Old Turtle might be able to barely hold off two.
The Immortal Emperor of Longevity… could probably handle two, maybe three at most!
They weren’t entirely sure of Ambrose Lu’s strength, but they knew he was definitely stronger than the four of them.
Otherwise, they wouldn’t have respected Ambrose Lu so much for nearly ten million years.
By this calculation, the Nether Demonic Clan’s extra beings comparable to Immortal Emperors would be unstoppable in the Five Immortal Realms!
In the face of Immortal Emperors, even Immortal Venerables and Immortal Kings were like clay chickens and pottery dogs!
Nangong Jing shook his head and sighed softly,
“Immortal Emperor Ling Tian, this isn’t something I deduced. The Nether Demonic Clan having at least ten beings comparable to Immortal Emperors was personally stated by the Immortal Emperor of Longevity six hundred years ago.”
Personally stated by the Immortal Emperor of Longevity?
They immediately believed it.
Ambrose Lu was known for his honesty and wouldn’t make baseless claims.
“Ah, what should we do now? Those bastards from the Ancestral Divine Realm! They’re pushing us to the brink! They’re leaving no room for us in the Five Immortal Realms…”
Shi Wu Shi’s beads spun rapidly in his hand as he couldn’t help but curse.
Gu Yinyang said indifferently, “You’re just good at talking. Do you have any solutions?”
“Hey~ Gu Yinyang, what have I ever done to you? Why are you always against me? I’m just speaking the truth, why are you being so sarcastic?”
Shi Wu Shi frowned, feeling a bit irritated.
“Enough, Immortal Emperor Wu Shi, Immortal Emperor Yin Yang, can’t you two be quiet for a moment?” Feng Jiu sighed with a frown.
“Hmph.” Gu Yinyang immediately fell silent.
“Tch.” Shi Wu Shi also didn’t bother to say more.
“Fortunately, the Immortal Emperor of Longevity has returned at this critical moment. Otherwise, we would have no chance of resisting…”
Chu Ling Tian said, rubbing his temples and sighing again,
“We should find the Immortal Emperor of Longevity first. With the Immortal Realm on the brink of chaos, I won’t feel at ease until I see him.”
Feng Jiu, Shi Wu Shi, Gu Yinyang, and even Nangong Jing all nodded in agreement.
Yes, they felt the same.
