The Hero of a Cool Novel? I, the Villain, Will Kill You!

18: Things change over timeOutside the Jade Pool Great Hall.

Wang Qing roamed the Yaochi Heavenly Mountain for a while, and after finding nothing new, he transformed into a black mist, tore through the Void Realm, and returned to Penglai Immortal Island.

As for Lin Fan’s childhood sweetheart, he could completely leave her to Mu Bingxuan to handle herself.

He only needed to send people to protect Mu Bingxuan; if anyone dared to offend the Jade Pool Immortal Palace, they would have to be prepared to face the wrath of the Primordial Heavenly Court... Penglai Immortal Sea.

On a gilded Tower Ship, banners fluttered, swaying precariously with the sea.

Ye Langtian stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at Penglai Immortal Island in the center of the sea, and saw the Grand Prime Xuan Bell above the Supreme Beginning Imperial Palace’s sky.

His heart was filled with envy; the Grandmist Dao Artifact, the only one in the Immortal Realm, was also the Primordial Heavenly Court’s trump card for suppressing all realms.

It was rumored that the Grand Prime Xuan Bell had slain several Immortal Emperors. Such a tremendously ominous artifact naturally instilled fear in some Immortal Emperors, while others coveted it.

Ye Langtian was one of them.

He even fantasized that if the Northern Cold Immortal Court, which he managed, had the protection of the Grand Prime Xuan Bell.

Then the Northern Cold Immortal Court would surely be able to unify the Immortal Realm and replace the Primordial Heavenly Court as the official power of the Immortal Realm.

”Oh, Northern Cold Immortal Lord, how do you find the time to grace the Primordial Beginning Immortal Domain?”

Suddenly, a boat inlaid with glazed jade stones appeared on the sea not far from the gilded Tower Ship.

Wang Qing stood at the bow, his sleeves fluttering, as the Crossing the Shenzhou approached the gilded Tower Ship, he smiled and teased Ye Langtian.

”Imperial Son Wang, This Emperor naturally came to redeem those two good-for-nothing beasts!”

Ye Langtian suppressed the anger in his heart and forced a smile.

Wang Qing had detained Ye Changsheng and Ye Chen, and even declared that if the Northern Cold Immortal Lord didn’t come to redeem them, he would tear up the ticket.

This was a blatant slap to the face of the Northern Cold Immortal Court, even turning the Northern Cold Immortal Region into a laughingstock in the eyes of other Immortal Domains.

But as the Imperial Father of the two hostages, Ye Langtian had no choice but to come personally to redeem them, otherwise outsiders would see the Northern Cold Immortal Lord as a cold-blooded animal.

”Haha, so that’s how it is!”

”Since you’re here to redeem them, everything is easy to discuss. As long as the ransom is in place, This Emperor will naturally release Ye Changsheng and Ye Chen.”

Wang Qing chuckled triumphantly, waving the Crossing the Shenzhou, stirring up towering waves, and in a blink of an eye, returned to the edge of Penglai Immortal Island.

Ye Langtian suppressed the anger in his heart, driving the gilded Tower Ship to follow behind and arrive.

”Imperial Son Wang, here are five High Grade Ninth-Rank Immortal Artifacts and two hundred million High Grade Immortal Crystals, please take a look!”

Ye Langtian stood at the bow of the Tower Ship, flicking his sleeve, and a spatial ring flew towards the Crossing the Shenzhou.

Wang Qing casually took it, his Divine Thought probing into the spatial ring to scan it, confirming the ransom was in order.

”Clap, clap, clap!”

He clapped his hands, and several Immortal Guards led the unconscious and tortured Ye Changsheng and Ye Chen off the Crossing the Shenzhou.

Soon, those Immortal Guards delivered the two Imperial Sons of the Northern Cold Immortal Court to the gilded Tower Ship and left without looking back.

Ye Langtian saw his two rebellious sons with torn robes, bleeding from their rear, and two dead large wolfdogs.

His eyes blurred, and he almost fainted, ”Beasts, beasts! This Emperor sent you to redeem them, but you privately swallowed your sixth brother’s ransom.”

”Now you’ve been violated by dogs, the Northern Cold Immortal Court’s face has been completely lost by you, you beast.”

Ye Langtian raged uncontrollably, kicking Ye Changsheng in the rear.

”Ah!”

Ye Changsheng’s rear had been severely tortured by the large wolfdogs two days ago, and now he was kicked again by Ye Langtian.

Immediately, he awoke from his coma, screaming incessantly.

”Father... Imperial Father, quickly kill Wang Qing and avenge me and my sixth brother!”

Ye Changsheng’s expression was twisted, his eyes bloodshot, wishing he could kill Wang Qing right now.

He completely failed to notice his Imperial Father’s furious appearance, still only caring about being violated by dogs.

”Slap!” Ye Langtian slapped him, angrily scolding, ”You’re good for nothing but messing things up! How could This Emperor raise such a scoundrel!”

One slap wasn’t enough for Ye Langtian; he kicked Ye Changsheng in the rear again.

”Ah!” Ye Changsheng screamed repeatedly, falling unconscious once more.

Ye Langtian completely disregarded his life or death. He turned back and coldly glanced at Wang Qing, ”Imperial Son Wang, this matter is not over!”

With that, he flicked his sleeve, and the gilded Tower Ship tore through the Void Realm and departed, fearing to attract the ridicule of other Immortals on Penglai Immortal Island.

”Haha, this matter is not over?”

”You old dog, just wait for chaos to erupt in the Northern Cold Immortal Region!”

Wang Qing sneered continuously, stepped off the Crossing the Shenzhou, and headed towards the central area of Penglai Immortal Island.

Ye Langtian coming to redeem them was just a small interlude in his plan.

When the Gui Xu Demon Lord is released, by then the Northern Cold Immortal Region will be in great chaos, and that scene will likely be very spectacular... Eastern Cold Immortal Domain.

A winding mountain range stretching tens of thousands of miles, shaded by green trees, with various pavilions and palaces nestled within.

Inside a magnificent grand hall, a woman in a glazed ruqun sat on a high platform, gazing at a Jade Slip in her hand.

Her black hair cascaded over her shoulders, her face was like a painting, her chest proudly stood tall, a delicate waist cinched with soft glazed gauze, and as her skirt swayed, her fair calves were faintly visible.

”What a Jade Pool Empress, how dare she demand This Palace come to her door to redeem someone?” Empress Mingyue was furious, a dangerous glint flickering in her Phoenix eyes.

The Jade Slip in her hand recorded the events that transpired outside the Primordial Beginning Immortal Domain’s Yaochi Mountain Gate two days prior.

A few days ago, she was still mocking the Northern Cold Immortal Lord for being disgraced, having to personally go to the Primordial Heavenly Court to redeem someone.

Now it was her turn, for the sake of the Profound Maiden Palace’s successor, to make a trip to the Primordial Beginning Immortal Domain.

Truly, what goes around comes around, and today it was the Profound Maiden Palace’s turn.

”Sect Master, what should we do now?”

”The Jade Pool Empress is Imperial Son Wang’s Imperial Son Consort; if we go to redeem someone empty-handed, I’m afraid we’ll be humiliated, won’t we?”

An Elder asked tremblingly.

Empress Mingyue’s eyes grew colder, and she coldly rebuked:

”Hmph, This Palace will go to the Jade Pool Immortal Palace empty-handed. This Palace wants to see if Mu Bingxuan dares not to release her!”

As her words fell, she rose and transformed into starlight, disappearing from the grand hall.

The Elder in the center of the hall looked helpless and could only turn and walk out of the grand hall, intending to ask the Old Ancestor to accompany them to the Primordial Beginning Immortal Domain.

Although Empress Mingyue was a Quasi Immortal Emperor, this Elder was not at ease with the Sect Master going to the Jade Pool Immortal Palace alone.

Because the Tianyuan Secret Realm in the Eastern Cold Immortal Domain was about to open, and all major powers would go to compete for resources.

If anything happened to Empress Mingyue at this critical juncture, the resources allocated to the Profound Maiden Palace would be greatly reduced.

Profound Maiden Palace Ancestral Mausoleum.

In a pavilion, two Old Ji were playing chess, constantly conversing:

”Half a month ago, the Heavenly Emperor went deep into the Boundless Star Sea to investigate the Hongmeng Calamity, and I wonder if he has the ability to protect the Immortal Realm from being affected by the Calamity.”

Old Ji Xuanying spoke eloquently.

Another Old Woman Xuanhua, however, shook her head, saying uneasily, ”We can’t always rely on the Heavenly Emperor alone for everything; we should also do our part!”

”Otherwise, if the Calamity truly affects the Immortal Realm, none of us will be able to escape unscathed!”

Old Woman Xuanhua’s cloudy eyes swept in the direction of the Primordial Beginning Immortal Domain.

She seemed to be able to see the scene of Penglai Immortal Island, and even what the Heavenly Emperor was doing.

”Haha, that’s true. We can’t always rely on the Heavenly Emperor alone; we still need to make more preparations.”

Old Ji Xuanying smiled bitterly, put down the chess piece in her hand, and rose to look towards the Primordial Beginning Immortal Domain.
