Chapter 1723: Internal Conflict?

Translator: Lordbluefire  Editor: Lordbluefire

Although the Darknorth Immortal Dynasty has relocated to Heaven Empyrean City, the imperial palace they built in the past still remained and the Darknorth Immortal Emperor had stationed one of his sons here.

Beiming Youhuang returned to the old imperial palace of the Darknorth Immortal Dynasty. When she saw all these familiar sights, she suddenly felt that it was a lifetime ago since she was here. Back then, she and Qin Wentian were sent to the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms by the crazy old freak. In the blink if an eye, several hundred years passed. To her, this period of time was too long and that, in addition to her experiences in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms, she felt a sensation of ‘blue seas transforming into mulberry fields.’

Turning their gazes forward, she could see Qin Wentian leading a group of people to receive them. Her father, the Darknorth Immortal Emperor was here together with her younger sister Beiming Nongyue. She naturally saw the smile in Qin Wentian’s eyes and also discovered a white-hair lady beside him. This white-hair lady was none other than the princess of the Evergreen Immortal Empire whose hair turned white in an instant due to Qin Wentian’s ‘death.’ Qin Wentian has also told Beiming Youhuang that he and Qing`er were now married. Beiming Youhuang sent her congratulations.

Qin Wentian similarly also saw that four world palace lords of the Lifelong Realm were together with Beiming Youhuang. Now, a total of five world palace lords were in Azure Mystic, over half of the Lifelong Realm’s forces were here. Other than this, the other four world overlords also brought large numbers of immortal emperors here as well. Clearly, the Lifelong Realmlord knew of the situation in the lower world and decided to send a sizable amount of people. At the very least, such a force could be considered very powerful in the Lifelong Realm. But in the perspective of the entire Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms, it was really nothing much.

The Lifelong Realmlord also wanted to obtain some good fortune but sadly, he himself didn’t dare to defy the restriction order. Most probably, many world overlords in the upper world were worried as well.

The four palace lords are: The Skyair Palace Lord, Xuanyuan Palace Lord, Dragonsaddle Palace Lord and Kanwater Palace Lord.

It’s very normal for the Skyair Palace Lord to come as he was the personal disciple of the Lifelong Realmlord, and it can be said that he can represent the Lifelong Realmlord to a certain degree and was here in the capacity of the leader to observe the situation here. But even so, if there truly was good fortune here, how could there be any trust worth speaking of? Let alone a subordinate, even a personal disciple might betray you for it. But even so, the Realmlord still had to send someone he trusted the most over here.

As for the strongest Desolate Heaven Palace Lord, he didn’t come here. Most probably, the Realmlord was worried that he would be too strong. His personal disciple the Skyair Palace Lord might not be able to control the other party.

And other than the Skyair Palace Lord, the Xuanyuan and Dragonsaddle Palace Lords were considered one of the more loyal subordinates to the Lifelong Realmlord. Back then, the two Palace Lords had fought together with the Lifelong Realmlord to establish his empire.

“Youhuang!” The Darknorth Immortal Emperor stepped forward, staring at his daughter.

“Father.” Beiming Youhuang called out.

“Mhm.” The Darknorth Immortal Emperor smiled and nodded. “Right now, your cultivation base is already the same as father’s. Hahaha.”

“This is what the phrase, ‘A tiger father wouldn’t have a dog daughter’ means.” Beiming Nongyue stepped up and laughed. “Elder sis, seems like you are doing very well for yourself in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms.

Beiming Youhuang merely smiled, she didn’t say too much. Was she really doing well in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms?

It was like right from the beginning to the end, the circumstances had forced them upon her, her actions were all not of her own volition. There were simply too many experts in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms. An immortal emperor was like a sand particle on the beach, they were simply too inconsequential. Things were especially difficult when they first arrived in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms. Just a small city lord almost caused them to end up on a path of eternal damnation. Luckily, Qin Wentian grew extremely fast and became an empyrean. Now, as a world palace lord in a realm, it can be considered that he could at the very least already stand on his feet in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms.

“Congratulations, junior brother.” Beiming Youhuang smiled and called out. She didn’t refer to Qin Wentian by name and called him ‘junior brother’ instead because there were four other palace lords behind her. In the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms, everyone believed that their relationship was one of apprentice siblings, even the Lifelong Realmlord believed it was so. If the Lifelong Realmlord discovered that they weren’t apprentice siblings, what would he think?

Qin Wentian had already reminded everyone on his side about this. He also didn’t want the Lifelong Realmlord to find out. However, his considerations were different from Beiming Youhuang. Right now, the Lifelong Realmlord felt that they were the disciples of World Overlord Yi. Such an identity had advantages as well as disadvantages to it. But if their words were found false now, things would be extremely troublesome.

“It’s truly regretful that you didn’t come back earlier.” Qin Wentian was naturally referring to his wedding.

“Haha, indeed. Youhuang, the grand wedding of the Heaven Empyrean was truly an extremely magnificent scene. Everyone in Azure Mystic came by to attend it.” The Darknorth Immortal Emperor laughed. Beiming Youhuang’s eyes flashed, she glanced at Qin Wentian and asked in a low voice, “Heaven Empyrean?”

“Elder sis, don’t you know. Right now, this fellow is already the overlord of Azure Mystic and his title is the Heaven Empyrean. Everyone in our world worships him.” Beiming Nongyue laughed as she spoke. Qin Wentian bitterly smiled. The title ‘Heaven Empyrean’ sounded tyrannical but this title was nothing much at all in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms. Only the Imperishable Heaven Lord had a title awe-inspiring enough to be a deterrence to the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms.

Only absolute strength was everything.

“Alright. Lifire Palace Lord, tell us about the situation in there.” At this moment, the Skyair Empyrean stepped forward. They came here because of the world-ending battle and not to hear the conversation of these people in the Azure Mystic Immortal Realms. Since he directly referred to Qin Wentian as the Lifire Palace Lord, it was clear that he purposely didn’t want to be too close to Qin Wentian.

In the past, they once saw Qin Wentian’s performance at the Lifelong Banquet when he was an immortal emperor. At that time, he represented the Lifire Palace and defeated experts of the other world palaces but now, he was already on the same level as them. It was only natural that prideful beings like them would feel a little uncomfortable.

“There isn’t much info. I only know that the entrance to the ancient battlefield is now opened but I completely have no idea about the situation inside. Awhile later, I will be leading my subordinates in to enter.” Qin Wentian spoke.

“Let’s go then.” The Skyair Palace Lord spoke.

Qin Wentian glanced at him. He naturally could sense the arrogance from this personal disciple of the Lifelong Realmlord. He simply smiled and nodded, “Sure, let’s move out then.”

“Let’s go.” He glanced at Beiming Youhuang as she nodded at him. After that, the group of them moved together, rushing into the forbidden ground.

After some time, they arrived at the entrance gate leading to the ancient battlefield. There were still many experts from the other parts of the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms that continued to enter. Qin Wentian and his subordinates didn’t hesitate and entered it. They then arrived in the ancient battlefield with the black sun and gloomy atmosphere.

The eyes of the other four palace lords gleamed sharply when they saw the black sun and nine gigantic black spheres revolving around it. They were speechless for a long time before they sent the news back to the Lifelong Realmlord. Now, their hearts were filled with a sense of strong wariness.

They have finally arrived at the ancient battlefield where the world-ending battle was fought.

“You really know nothing about the situation in here?” The Skyair Palace Lord turned to Qin Wentian, his eyes gleaming with sharpness as though he wanted to see through Qin Wentian’s words, whether he was lying to them or not.

“I only know that there are already many experts who entered here, including several people from the Heavenly Deity Race.” Qin Wentian replied. He coldly laughed in his heart, this Skyair Palace Lord…he had no idea what was in store for him and how dangerous things are here. Leaving aside the danger, it was already tremendously difficult to find the exit. He only managed to exit because the strand of will from the heavenly deity who borrowed his body inscribed a formation that led him out. No one who came here from the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms knew how to do that. Unless they found another exit, they would be stuck in here.

Even the experts from the Heavenly Deity Race had to go all out in here just to survive. There was no need to mention about these four world palace lords. Although he didn’t take joy in their calamity, he wouldn’t sympathize with them. These people came here out of their own choices. Back then when he first entered this ancient battlefield, he also knew nothing about here. And for the battle between the two heavenly deities, if the one who won was Yu Feifan instead, he would already have become a dead man.

“Palace Lord Qin, since none of us know anything, why don’t we join forces to explore this place?” The Xuanyuan Palace Lord bluntly spoke, he didn’t really mind forming a close relationship to Qin Wentian. Some of the juniors of his clan had very good relations with the vice palace lord of the Lifire Palace, Di Tian. Be it Qin Wentian or Di Tian, both were people with very high potentials. He naturally didn’t feel it was a problem forming a closer relationship with them.

“It’s fine. I wish to explore this ancient battlefield alone. You guys can go on ahead.” Qin Wentian spoke. If he agreed to travel with these people, it would be extremely inconvenient for his plans.

The Xuanyuan Palace Lord’s eyes flashed. But he soon smiled and nodded, “Sure.”

“Since the Lifire Palace Lord wishes to explore this place alone, let him do so then. The rest of us will stick together.” The Skyair Palace Lord spoke, he had received orders from his master and his attitude towards Qin Wentian was considered extremely indulgent, allowing Qin Wentian to do what he wanted. After all, his master the Lifelong Realmlord, had told him that Qin Wentian was World Overlord Yi’s disciple.

“Youhuang, let’s go.” The Skyair Palace Lord turned to Beiming Youhuang but she didn’t move after he spoke.

Beiming Youhuang’s beautiful eyes flashed as she softly said, “I will follow my father.”

She naturally wouldn’t say that she would follow Qin Wentian. There was nothing they could refute in her sentence as it was only natural that she would follow her father.

“This is simple, tell your father to travel with us.” The Skyair Palace Lord spoke.

This caused Qin Wentian to frown. Why did he feel that this Skyair Palace Lord seemed to want to ensure that Beiming Youhuang remained by his side.

“The Darknorth Immortal Emperor is someone from my Azure Mystic Immortal Realms, he will naturally follow me. Since my senior apprentice sister wishes to follow her father, it’s the same thing if she follows me as well.” Qin Wentian spoke. There were no problems with his words because he didn’t know what Beiming Youhuang promised the Lifelong Realmlord. However, the Skyair Palace Lord already knew about the matter between Beiming Youhuang and his master. Also, before they were sent to the lower world, the Lifelong Realmlord and specially spoken to the Skyair Palace Lord about it.

As a woman of his master, her status would soon be announced at the Lifelong Banquet. How can she stick so closely with Qin Wentian? Even if they were apprentice siblings, they should understand this and avoid interacting too closely.

“No.” The Skyair Palace Lord decisively rejected. “This is my master’s will. I will protect Beiming Youhuang, my heart won’t be at ease if she follows you.”

Qin Wentian’s frown deepened. He stared at the Skyair Palace Lord, “What’s the problem with my senior apprentice sister following her father and me? What do you mean when you say that your heart won’t be at ease?”

“You wish to disobey orders?” The Skyair Palace Lord couldn’t continue to waste words when he saw Qin Wentian rebutting him multiple times. A sharpness gleamed in his eyes as his aura radiated forth, enveloping Qin Wentian. Qin Wentian was merely someone who killed the previous Lifire Palace Lord and he had done so only with the help of Di Tian. How dare he speak to him like this. Seems like the battle with the Lifire Empyrean had caused Qin Wentian to be blindly confident about himself.

Seeing that the Skyair Empyrean said that this is the Lifelong Realmlord’s will and how he unleashed his aura, Qin Wentian’s expression also turned cold. He calmly spoke, “Why would the Realmlord feel uneasy about me? I will consult him myself.”

These were clearly fighting words. Although it can’t be said that he was defying orders, he also didn’t compromise and do things according to the Skyair Palace Lord’s plan. At this moment, the atmosphere became incredibly tense.

The Xuanyuan Palace Lord and the two other empyreans were all stunned when they saw this. They had just entered the ancient battlefield and there already was internal conflict?

They didn’t really understand the situation. Why are the attitudes of both the Skyair Palace Lord and this new Lifire Palace Lord so firm and resolute like there’s no leeway for negotiation at all.
