Ningzhou, Tianlan Domain.

The secret of the Cangwu Mountain has caused a sensation in the entire cultivation world.

The once rapidly rising cultivation family that dominated Ningzhou for thousands of years, the An Family, has been completely destroyed.

Now, the people of the An Family are suffering merciless slaughter.

Many sects have blamed the deaths of their predecessors on the An Family and sent out their elites to hunt down and kill them.

Anyone above the age of twelve will be killed without mercy.

At this moment, a huge ship is sailing above the clouds.

"Ye Xi!"

"All of this was his plan. From beginning to end, his goal was to find out the mastermind behind the An Family!"

Jiang Youlong's face looked ugly as he spoke with a grim tone.

He recalled the whole incident. Ye Xi seemed to have never taken action, but in reality, he was manipulating everything.

Even the conflict between Ye Qingge and Yuan Ruoyu...

The moment Great Emperor Zitong appeared, the An Family had already fallen into his trap.

Because of Great Emperor's appearance, the An Family had to take the risk of refining the exotic species.

And then deliberately expose the transformed appearance of the three An Family ancestors to all cultivators.

"In this way..."

Jiang Youlong's breathing became rapid as he murmured, "The Heavenly Punishment Venerable appeared to avoid the exposure of the transformation and killed everyone!"

"But in doing so, he fell into Ye Xi's trap and was ultimately severely injured by him!"

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel deep fear for this Nicholas Great Emperor.

Both admiration and fear!

The ship fell into silence again.

Zuo Qingtian and Hua Hongyi were standing on opposite sides of the deck, their eyes empty, looking into the distance.

Jiang Youlong absentmindedly scratched his hair, feeling a sense of powerlessness rising in his heart.

He suddenly thought of something and was startled.

"No!"

"Ye Xi is formidable, but the most terrifying one is the Immortal Great Emperor!"

Jiang Youlong paced on the deck, quickly saying, "The Immortal Great Emperor has never shown himself, but everything is under his control!"

"Just with a diary!"

"He stirs up the world, manipulating the situation, making everything go according to his will!"

The deeper Jiang Youlong thought, the more he felt a chilling sensation.

He looked up at the sky.

"The Immortal Great Emperor even dragged the originally chess players into the game!"

Jiang Youlong swallowed his saliva and said with difficulty, "Now, who is the prey is still uncertain!"

"Everything indicates that the Immortal Great Emperor has started to fight back!"

After saying that, he let out a long sigh.

Thinking that the Immortal Court had sent them to track down the whereabouts of the Immortal Great Emperor, he wondered if they were already part of his plan.

However, at that moment...

Hua Hongyi on the other side suddenly went mad. She looked up at the sky and shouted hoarsely, "I ask the heavens and the earth, are immortals real?!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Jiang Youlong and Zuo Qingtian's faces became even more grim.

In the Cangwu Mountain, the skeletal remains of the once Ascended Great Emperor appeared.

This matter not only dealt a blow to other cultivators, but it was also deadly for them.

What were the three of them doing for the Immortal Court?

Wasn't it in the hope that one day, the Immortal Court would reward them for their hard work and allow them to ascend to the immortal realm?

But now, the truth of the Cangwu Mountain told them that Ascension might not necessarily lead to becoming an immortal.

It could also mean becoming a consumed skeleton.

"Poof!"

Hua Hongyi suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, looking like she had gone mad.

Her obsession with becoming an immortal was the deepest.

The revelation of the secret of the Cangwu Mountain was the biggest blow to her.

Jiang Youlong and Zuo Qingtian were greatly alarmed and were about to go over.

But they saw Hua Hongyi suddenly take out an object, a jet-black brush.

Hua Hongyi threw the brush at Jiang Youlong and said coldly, "If all these immortals are cannibals, then I don't want to be an immortal!"

Jiang Youlong was stunned for a moment, his face solemn. "Hua Hongyi, have you thought about the consequences?"

Left Qingtian also advised, "This is to bear the heavenly punishment!"

"Hehe--"

Hua Hongyi sneered, laughing somewhat madly. Waves surged in her chest, but her voice carried a resolute tone.

"Heavenly punishment? It's just a matter of devouring me completely."

Hua Hongyi looked at them mockingly and changed the subject, "Can you guarantee that this won't be your fate?"

Left Qingtian's face turned dark and terrifying.

Jiang Youlong opened his mouth wide, realizing that he himself had no confidence.

"Perhaps those Great Emperors made mistakes, which is why..."

But Hua Hongyi didn't want to listen anymore and coldly interrupted, "Enough! I have made up my mind. Let's go our separate ways from now on."

"Even if it's heavenly punishment, so what? I'll talk about it after a few carefree days."

However, at that moment...

The three of them simultaneously felt something and suddenly looked behind them.

Their faces all changed drastically.

They didn't know when, but there was an additional person on the ship.

A young man dressed in white, with a noble and elegant demeanor, smiled as he looked at them.

The person who arrived was none other than Nicholas, the Great Emperor Ye Xi!

Jiang Youlong's face changed dramatically, and he felt an unprecedented sense of crisis.

This was when he suddenly woke up.

Nicholas had calculated everything, so how could he not have calculated them?

It wasn't that the other party didn't know, but now they were finally closing the net!

Left Qingtian was also terrified.

On the other hand, Hua Hongyi, after the initial shock, smiled self-mockingly and didn't react much.

Jiang Youlong took a deep breath and clasped his hands, "I wonder if the Great Emperor has any instructions for personally coming here?"

He still held onto a glimmer of hope.

Take action?

There was no chance.

Nicholas's smile remained calm as he said, "I came here to exterminate you all."

"All the dogs of the abnormal kind must die, and you are just a bit earlier!"

Jiang Youlong and Left Qingtian's faces turned pale.

Death was approaching, and both of them trembled in their legs...

"Let's go!"

Jiang Youlong had only one thought in his mind: in front of the Great Emperor, no one dared to resist.

However, just as he and Left Qingtian were about to make a desperate move and use all their life-saving treasures to escape...

They realized that their bodies were no longer under their control.

Even their entire bodies' spiritual power was completely imprisoned, unable to move.

Nicholas had no interest in toying with them. He flicked his finger, and a ball of true fire flew out, enveloping the two of them.

"Ah--"

Immediately, there were screams of agony from the fire, but it only lasted for a moment before it stopped.

The two of them had turned to ashes.

Not even a trace of their primordial spirits remained.

Hua Hongyi didn't escape. She had closed her eyes and waited for death, but she didn't notice when Nicholas made his move.

She opened her eyes and saw him smiling at her.

Hua Hongyi asked in surprise, "You're not going to kill me?"

After a moment...

Nicholas shook his head with a smile and reached out his hand to her, "Rebel with me, and I will lead you to become an immortal!"

"A true carefree and eternal immortal!"

A glimmer of light flashed in Hua Hongyi's eyes, but quickly dimmed as she said,

"But I once..."

Nicholas interrupted again, "That's not your fault. The fault lies with this cannibalistic Immortal Court!"

"I have just started my career and need manpower. Let's overthrow them together!"

"What we need to do is to change the world!"

Hua Hongyi trembled for a moment, hesitated for a moment, then took a deep breath and bowed solemnly to Ye Xi.

"Hua Hongyi is willing to follow the Great Emperor for life!"

Ye Xi smiled and said, "Good, get up quickly. From now on, we are comrades-in-arms, fighting for our ideals and the light in our hearts together."

In his heart, he thought, as the master once said...

When the enemy is too powerful, we must not waste anyone who can be won over or any resources that can be utilized.

After that, Ye Xi left the ship, with Hua Hongyi following closely behind.
