Chapter 367 Strangulation (1/2)
Reading Settings
Ye Ling's return made the Celestial Emperor in the Celestial Realm somewhat uneasy.
His right eyelid has been twitching for the past two days, even when he tries to control it with his magical powers.
This is a bad omen. He will not be able to eat or sleep in peace until Hongling, this hidden danger, is eliminated.
"Your Majesty, the Supreme Lord Laozi requests an audience."
"Let him in."
"Your Majesty, please help Laozi! Tens of thousands of his immortal pills have vanished without a trace, along with thousands of Divine Repelling Pills, 1,500 Nine-Turn Divine Pills, and hundreds of ancient spiritual pills—all gone!"
"What?"
The Celestial Emperor was furious.
"Report—"
"Your Majesty, the Phoenix Clan and the Dragon Clan have started fighting. They have now reached the Void Abyss. The Qilin Clan and the Spirit Realm Emperor went to break up the fight, but they also ended up fighting."
"What? They went to the Void Abyss? Why were they fighting? Why didn't I notice?"
"I went to the Void Abyss about an incense stick's time ago. As for why the fight broke out, I don't know."
The Celestial Emperor was furious: "To start fighting amongst themselves at this crucial moment is utterly outrageous! And they even went to the Void Abyss—don't they value their lives?"
"Report, Your Majesty, there are unusual developments in the Demon Realm and the Underworld, and our spies in the Celestial Realm have suddenly lost contact."
"Report! Your Majesty, the spirit realm's barrier has suddenly been reinforced. No one outside the spirit realm is allowed to enter. Our spies were all killed within the last incense stick's time."
The Immortal Emperor narrowed his eyes slightly. With so many things happening at the same time, if this wasn't premeditated, he should relinquish his position as Immortal Emperor.
After weighing the pros and cons in his mind, he decided to contact his allies in the divine realm to come down and help, while he went to the Void Abyss.
The Dragon Clan and Phoenix Clan are the main forces in the Immortal Realm, not to mention the Qilin Clan and the Spirit Emperor. These are not only the main forces, but also his allies.
They might have some minor disagreements normally, but not now; they must unite at this time.
With Hongling's return, he felt a strong sense of unease, as he felt that the Venerable Hongde might intervene.
Moreover, he only learned that Hongling's master was the fearsome Hongde Venerable God, who was known throughout the Six Realms, after Hongling was framed by them!
If he had known about this sooner, he wouldn't have made this fatal mistake.
Even if you gave him a hundred lives, he wouldn't dare to lay a hand on the disciple of the Venerable Hongde. So what if he's a prince from the Immortal Realm? He can afford to pay him the price.
But now it's all too late. He went too far and left no room for reconciliation.
Thinking of this, the Immortal Emperor's hatred for the Empress intensified; even though she was dead, he still hated her.
Why didn't you tell him something so important? Why lie to him, saying that Venerable Hongde was just an old gentleman from the divine realm whom she once knew, and that she invited him to be Hongling's master because of his extensive knowledge?
The Immortal Emperor thought that he had allies in the God Realm, so he asked them if they knew Elder Hongde. However, they shook their heads and said they did not know him.
If this old man were a big shot, his allies would surely recognize him, and that's why he didn't take the Venerable Hongde seriously.
The Immortal Emperor arrived at the outer edge of the Void Abyss. Looking at the pitch-black void inside, even an Immortal Emperor felt a little apprehensive.
Many powerful beings have fallen in the void, making it a forbidden area of the immortal realm and a place that all immortals fear most.
There was no one here at the moment. The Celestial Emperor gestured to the Heavenly General beside him: "Go in and take a look. If you find that they are still fighting, then inform me."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
