Chapter 3600: Inviting the Ye Family
The Wayless Immortal Exalt opened his eyes slowly and looked at the elder calmly.
The Immortal Monarch elder immediately shuddered inside. Under the Wayless Immortal Exalt’s gaze, he felt like countless blades were approaching him, which immediately made all of his hairs stand on end. A chill rose up from the bottom of his heart as if all of his blood was frozen.
Immediately, the Immortal Monarch elder lowered his head even further. He was extremely familiar with what such a response meant. The Wayless Immortal Exalt had been angered.
“Did the independent cultivator really say that?” the Wayless Immortal Exalt said slowly. There was no clear expression on his face and his voice was calm, so it was impossible to tell what emotion he felt.
However, the elder from the Immortal Feather sect was aware that this was just the appearance from the surface.
“Absolutely. I would never utter a false word before the ancestor!” the elder from the Immortal Ascendence sect said in a trembling manner.
The Wayless Immortal Exalt smiled in response to that. It was a smile filled with disdain and endless coldness. A vicious light even flashed through his eyes. “He’ll make Xia Mingtian pay a heavy price during the next round? He’s just a mere Sixth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor, yet he’s actually bold enough to recklessly threaten a Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor great elder of our Immortal Feather sect?”
“It looks like it really has been some time since I’ve ventured out. The culture of the outside world has changed so much that even I find it to be unfamiliar.”
“Ancestor, he’s just an insignificant figure of no importance whatsoever. Why even bother with him?” Xia Mingtian said calmly.
“Xia Mingtian, how much confidence do you have?” The Wayless Immortal Exalt looked towards Xia Tianming, and his gaze immediately softened.
“A hundred percent confidence!” Xia Migntian responded indifferently before adding, “That’s given that he really only has around a dozen healing pills left. If he has even more of those pills, I probably won’t be able to defeat him in a short amount of time. After all, I might be stronger than Zhou Dan, but the difference in our strength is still limited.”
The Wayless Immortal Exalt nodded and said, “The next round will be a battle royale between the three of you. If you expend a tremendous amount of strength on Chang Yang, perhaps you won’t be able to beat Ye Qingyun from the Ye family.”
“Ye Qingyun from the Ye family? I don’t know much about him, but the Ye family doesn’t seem to have much heritage.” Xia Mingtian’s eyes shone.
The Wayless Immortal Exalt squinted his eyes, which shone with pressing cold light. He said slowly, “Ye Qingyun from the Ye family cannot be underestimated. Compared to our Immortal Feather sect, the Ye family is indeed nothing, but Ye Qingyun is nowhere near as simple as he seems on the surface. According to my observations during the previous two battles, Ye Qingyun seemed to have used all of his strength during each battle. Each battle seemed like a close call, but in reality, he’s always been hiding something. He must still have some trump card that he hasn’t used.”
“And, his cultivation method is extremely impressive. It doesn’t belong to the Ye family. Coupled with some of the extremely rare ancient secret techniques he uses, I can conclude that Ye Qingyun received the legacy of some major figure.”
Xia Mingtian smiled confidently and said, “Please don’t worry, ancestor. Ye Qingyun still has cards up his sleeve, but that doesn’t mean I don’t have cards up my sleeve either. How can Ye Qingyun come close to rivalling the ancient legacies of our Immortal Feather sect? However, unless the need arises, these methods normally aren’t used.”
“Yeah. I don’t have to worry given how confident you are.” The Wayless Immortal Exalt looked towards the elder from the Immortal Feather sect and said, “Pay a visit to the commander’s estate and invite the ancestor of the Ye family, Ye Beifeng, over. Tell him that I want to meet with him and make him bring Ye Qingyun with him.”
“Yes, ancestor!”
……
…
Ye Beifeng sat in the air in one of the five commander’s estates in the Observance Heaven City, personally watching over Ye Qingyun.
His face was slightly pale, and his life force was slightly dim. Clearly, he had lost quite a lot of vitality.
Beside him, Ye Qingyun also sat in the air, swallowing pills to recover.
“Qingyun, exactly what kind of fortuitous encounter did you experience? You can actually defeat those supreme Immortal Emperors raised by peak organisations. Your strength has even left me deeply shocked.” Ye Beifeng stared at Ye Qingyun beside him with mixed feelings. The embers of hope were gradually ignited in the depths of his eyes as he looked at him curiously. “However, the stronger you become, the more relieved I feel. I hope that you can reach Immortal Exalt as you wish. The Ye family will all be up to you in the future.”
At this moment, a soldier of the Observance Heaven City jogged in and clasped his fist at Ye Beifeng. “Commander, an elder of the Immortal Feather sect wishes to meet with you!”
“What? An elder of the Immortal Feather sect?” Ye Beifeng was surprised. The senses of his soul immediately shot out, and he became stern. “Please come in!”
Very soon, the Immortal Monarch elder from the Immortal Feather sect arrived before Ye Beifeng.
“Senior Ye, I’ve come under orders to invite senior Ye to visit our courtyard of the Immortal Feather sect,” the Immortal Monarch elder of the Immortal Feather sect said directly.
“Under whose orders?” Ye Beifeng asked sternly.
“The Wayless Immortal Exalt’s orders! The ancestor has specially instructed me to let senior Ye bring the great elder of the Ye family with you,” the elder from the Immortal Ascension said extremely politely.
“Since the Wayless Immortal Exalt has invited me, how can I decline? I’ll be right there.” Ye Beifeng agreed to the request without hesitation.
The elder of the Immortal Feather sect backed out of the commander’s estate. After he had left, Ye Qingyun opened his eyes slowly as he healed. He became slightly worried as he said, “Great grandfather, don’t tell me the Immortal Feather sect wants to interfere with this competition and stop me from fighting with Xia Mingtian by inviting us over at a time like this?”
At that moment, Ye Qingyun had begun to truly worry. The Immortal Feather sect was far too powerful. They were one of the twelve courts of heaven of the Immortals’ World, well beyond anything that the Ye family could afford to provoke. If the Immortal Feather sect actually asked him to give up on the competition, how was he supposed to choose?
Ignoring them would be downright offending the Immortal Feather sect. Given the Immortal Feather sect’s strength, they could make the Ye family vanish from the Immortals’ World effortlessly.
But if he did give up on the competition, he would not be able to become a Thousand Immortal General this time. Several thousand years later, once the jade bottle shattered, his breakthrough to Immortal Exalt would be indefinitely delayed.
As a matter of fact, he might not be fated to reach Immortal Exalt for the rest of his life.
Breaking through to that realm was more about opportunities and fortune apart from just talent alone. Some opportunities would never return once lost.
Ye Beifeng was stern as well. After a moment of silence, he made a guess. “That shouldn’t be the case. The Immortal Feather sect is one of the twelve courts of heaven after all. Their great strength and ancient legacies throughout history have endowed every disciple of the Immortal Feather sect with a natural sense of superiority. They are all highly confident and proud of themselves. By then, if the Immortal Feather sect needs to use their background for you to back down for the sake of the Thousand Immortal General’s post, wouldn’t that indirectly suggest that the people of the Immortal Feather sect are beneath you?”
“Moreover, Xia Mingtian who you are facing in the next round is the strongest of the several dozen great elders of the Immortal Feather sect. As a result, the Immortal Feather sect would never do that.”
Ye Beifeng seemed to think things through. The overcast shadow above his heart immediately cleared up. He cheered up and said to Ye Qingyun, “We need to accept the ancestor of the Immortal Feather sect’s invitation. Qingyun, hold off with your healing for now. C’mon, let’s pay a visit to the Immortal Feather sect’s courtyard.”
Ye Beifeng immediately made his way towards where the Immortal Feather sect was based in the Observance Heaven City with Ye Qingyun.
