Chapter 899: So What If There Are Three Immortal Emperors?
“Wait? Wait for what?” Ni Xian’er asked doubtfully.
“Confidential!”
Qi Huang kept her in suspense.
“What exactly are you waiting for?” Cheng Hong Ling transmitted impatiently.
Qi Huang no longer dared to play coy. So she revealed to Cheng Hong Ling that the Extreme Violet Immortal Emperor was planning to thoroughly clear the spoils of war on the city walls five days later, and then explained the reason: “At that time, all the evil spirits from all directions will definitely rush over. This will have three benefits for us. First, we might find clues to the remaining six heart fragments among them. Second, we might find more assimilation power among them. Third, even if these people have nothing, once they fall into Extreme Violet Immortal Emperor’s hands, I can act as the savior again. At that time, the number of evil spirits willing to make a deal with your husband will increase significantly.”
“Makes sense.”
Cheng Hong Ling agreed, but then changed the subject: “So? What does this have to do with you dragging your feet and arriving at the East Gate? Isn’t it the same if we wait there?”
“Of course it’s different. The East Gate has the bodies of the two kings and three queens, so the guards there are extremely strong. Look at those three filial daughters.”
Qi Huang gestured to the three ghost tribe princesses, two large and one small, standing beside them, and continued: “They haven’t seen their Empress for almost ten years. As soon as they see those three headless corpses, do you think they can control their emotions? Once the guards notice something amiss, I’ll have to act early. Rather than being so reckless, it’s better to slow down. I’ll take some footage with the Recording Mirror for them to see first, and by the way, I can also understand the specific situation of Extreme Violet City.”
“You’ve really thought it through.”
Cheng Hong Ling said with a bit of surprise.
“There’s no other way. If we want to go further, we have to be careful and cautious every step of the way. We absolutely cannot repeat Lu Yao’s mistake.”
Qi Huang said with deep feeling.
Next, Qi Huang led a few women to continue moving forward. Not long after, they saw the guards of Extreme Violet City posting notices everywhere, announcing that the Extreme Violet Immortal Emperor would deal with all the evil spirits on the city walls in five days.
As soon as this news was released, it caused a strong shock. The streets and alleys were full of discussion.
Why would the Extreme Violet Immortal Emperor clear away all those spoils of war for no reason?
Nonsense! There’s no empty space left on the city walls. If they don’t clear them, where will the evil spirits who deliver themselves in the future be hung?
After ten years of Extreme Violet Immortal Emperor luring the snakes out of their holes, how many evil spirits are left?
You’ll know soon enough. This time, his old man is going to clear all the spoils of war, including the two kings and three queens at the East Gate. Their bodies contain a massive amount of Yin Energy, which is what all evil spirits dream of. Moreover, the three queens also have the Demon Ancestor’s heart fragments and assimilation power within them, so the attraction will increase exponentially. Therefore, I’m sure that most of the powerful evil spirits in the Immortal Realm will come.
Makes sense. So what should we do when the fighting starts?
Of course, we should leave Extreme Violet City as soon as possible. Do you think you can survive in a battle of that magnitude?
What are you afraid of? Our Extreme Violet Immortal Emperor is mighty and majestic. Can he really harm his own people by dealing with a few evil spirits?
The citizens gathered around the notice, expressing their opinions. Most of them had absolute trust in the Extreme Violet Immortal Emperor.
Qi Huang led the group into an inn and settled the women.
Qi Huang then took out the Recording Mirror and took some footage of the East Gate, and when she had time in the evening, she handed it over to the three ghost tribe princesses.
“Mother, sob sob sob!”
The three girls broke down when they saw their mother’s headless body, crying uncontrollably. Especially Qianqian, the little girl, who couldn’t be consoled and even attracted the attention of the inn’s waiter, who suspected child trafficking.
“See, I told you. If we don’t give them some time to adapt, and we just rush over, we’re in a difficult situation now.”
Qi Huang said helplessly.
Cheng Hong Ling had nothing to say. Although her husband, or rather wife, was sometimes a bit flippant, she never slacked off when it came to serious matters.
The three girls cried all night under their covers. By dawn, their emotions had stabilized somewhat, and they were already impatiently eager to set off. Their posture suggested they weren’t going to visit their mother, but rather to seek revenge.
Qi Huang naturally disagreed and forcibly ordered them to compose themselves before leaving.
Thus, two full days were delayed. Qi Huang took the girls and continued on their way, stopping for various reasons along the way. During this period, she noticed two powerful beings concealing their aura with Heaven-Concealing Water descending into the Imperial Palace of Extreme Violet City. They were likely two external Immortal Emperors.
Qi Huang did not share this information with those around her, nor did she show any hesitation. Instead, she continued to lead them forward.
Meanwhile, inside the Immortal Palace in the center of Extreme Violet City, the Extreme Violet Immortal Emperor was entertaining two Immortal Emperors who had traveled from afar in his spacious study. They were Emperor Wan He, who was at the third level of the Heavenly Immortal Realm, and Emperor Qiu Fa, who was at the second level of the Heavenly Immortal Realm.
“Your Excellencies, for the sake of secrecy, I can only entertain you in this small space. Please forgive me!”
The Extreme Violet Immortal Emperor raised his wine cup and apologized.
“Extreme Violet Immortal Emperor, you jest. This study of yours is magnificent and opulent, far more spacious than the conference hall in my own immortal palace. How can it be considered small?”
Emperor Wan He, dressed in a light golden brocade robe, immediately raised his wine cup and flattered him. He had a full head of white hair, his face was crisscrossed with wrinkles, and he looked kind and benevolent.
“Brother Wan He is absolutely right. I find myself with no place to stand when I enter this study, which is truly humbling,”
Emperor Qiu Fa, dressed in a white brocade robe, also chimed in. He looked like he was in his fifties, with a slender build, sword-like eyebrows, and his gaze was like a sheathed treasure sword. He appeared amiable, but killing intent lurked beneath the surface.
“Please don’t tease me, Your Excellencies! Let’s discuss business,”
The Extreme Violet Immortal Emperor waved his hand and then said sternly, “Are you sure that no one knows about your arrival in Extreme Violet City?”
“Naturally. We didn’t tell anyone before we left, and we also sprinkled Heaven-Concealing Water on ourselves, so no one can track us,”
Emperor Qiu Fa confirmed.
“Very good! The reason I called you two here this time has already been clearly stated in the Universal Sound Transmission Device. I lied and said that I would deal with the spoils of war on the city walls in five days because some of the evil spirits have the Demon Ancestor’s heart fragments and assimilation power within them. I expect all the evil spirits in the Immortal Realm to come and seize them, which is precisely the opportunity for us to round them all up.”
The Extreme Violet Immortal Emperor said with glowing eyes.
“Little Brother Extreme Violet is truly wise and brave! This way, our progress in eliminating evil spirits in the Immortal Realm will be greatly accelerated, and we can complete the mission before the deadline given by those Heavenly beings.”
Emperor Wan He did not hold back his compliments.
“Brother Extreme Violet, if you need our help in any way, please don’t hesitate to ask. I will not let a single evil spirit who comes to Extreme Violet City this time escape.”
The killing intent in Emperor Qiu Fa’s eyes was undisguised.
“When you see the evil spirits, just crush them casually. With the three of us Immortal Emperors presiding, do we still need to devise any tactics? Haha…”
The Extreme Violet Immortal Emperor raised his wine cup and laughed proudly.
It wasn’t until the evening of the fourth day that Qi Huang arrived at an inn near the East Gate with the women.
“Tomorrow morning, the Extreme Violet Immortal Emperor will deal with the ghost tribes on the city walls. At that time, masters from both the Immortal and Demonic paths will surely come out in full force. We need to wait and see. We’ll make our move after they’ve significantly weakened each other. So, when you see your mother, you must control your emotions and don’t let anything slip, understand?”
Qi Huang reiterated the instructions to the three ghost tribe princesses.
“We understand.”
The three girls nodded subconsciously. After four days, they had basically calmed down.
“Fairy Chen, the three of us have discussed it. If you cannot save our mother, then don’t force it. We just need to see them once.”
Ni Xian’er suddenly said solemnly.
“Yes, what you’ve done for us originally is already more than enough. We are not people who push our luck,”
Tao Chun also agreed.
“Sister, Mother is already gone. I don’t want anything to happen to you,”
Qianqian also grabbed Qi Huang’s hand very sensibly.
Qi Huang smiled with gratification and said: “You insisted on coming along this time, it’s because you don’t believe I can save your mother, right?”
The three girls remained silent, clearly embarrassed because their hidden thoughts had been exposed.
“It’s not that we don’t believe you, it’s just that we don’t want you to risk yourself. Fairy Chen, I won’t hide it from you anymore. Our goal from beginning to end has only been to see Mother, which is why we insisted on coming. If we were asking you to save people, what would be the point of us coming along?”
Tao Chun grit her teeth and finally spoke the truth.
“Yes, Mother is indeed very important to us, but after all, they are already dead. We cannot implicate you as well.”
Ni Xian’er also confessed.
“Mhmm… Sister is as important to Qianqian as Mother is,”
Qianqian also nodded her head rapidly.
Hearing this, Qi Huang felt a warmth in her heart. She sighed and said: “Since that’s the case, I’ll tell you the truth as well. Yesterday and the night before, two powerful auras entered Extreme Violet City separately. They should be the reinforcements called by the Extreme Violet Immortal Emperor.”
“What?”
The expressions of the three girls changed drastically.
“Are you telling the truth? Why didn’t you tell me?”
Cheng Hong Ling was also startled.
“There’s no need. They are just two Immortal Emperors at the early stage of the Heavenly Immortal Realm. Without the blessing of the local Imperial Weapons, they pose basically no threat to me,”
Qi Huang explained, not wanting her wife to worry.
Cheng Hong Ling bit her teeth, wanting to speak but holding back. In the end, she remained silent. She understood that her lover never fought a battle she wasn’t sure of winning.
“Fairy Chen, let’s forget it. That’s three Immortal Emperors!”
Ni Xian’er almost burst into tears.
“We are already satisfied to see Mother once. We absolutely cannot implicate you,”
Tao Chun anxiously persuaded.
“Hehe, so what if there are three Immortal Emperors? With just these few, they can’t threaten this Immortal Elder. I promised you I would do it,”
Qi Huang declared with determined eyes.
