Chapter 86: The Emperor's Return, A Battle for Revenge, Kill! - W Chapter (Part 2)

"

"As for the Martial Soul..."

"Father, I have an idea."

"Oh? Speak your mind!" The Ice Emperor was curious.

So soon?

Even he didn't have a good plan yet.

"Father."

Tang Wu lowered his voice. "I once overheard an Outer sect elder mention that the Cloud Heaven Valley has a Clan Guardian Plant known as the Skybinding Immortal Vine!"

"This vine is extremely mysterious and is considered a major treasure of the Cloud Heaven Valley. It is said that if it grows to its peak, it can Bind Immortals and Gods!"

"However, its growth is extremely difficult, requiring a vast amount of time and treasures, making its cost-effectiveness extremely low. Top-tier sects and holy lands have better options and look down on it, but for the Cloud Heaven Valley, it is the perfect choice."

"However, the Cloud Heaven Valley lacks the necessary resources, effort, and time to cultivate it to its peak. Currently, it should be equivalent to a Sixth Stage cultivator, capable of binding multiple Sixth Stage cultivators."

"If I can slay it and refine its divine soul into a Martial Soul, making it my first Soul Orb..."

"Father, what do you think of this?"

The Ice Emperor: "..."

Good grief!

Even though the Ice Emperor was once a ruthless and cruel figure, he still felt a wave of discomfort after hearing Tang Wu’s words.

You are a disciple of the Cloud Heaven Valley!

Stealing a little here and there in the Outer Sect is one thing.

How long has it been? You’re already thinking about their Clan Guardian Plant!?

A Clan Guardian Plant!

It is almost the same as a Clan Guardian Beast.

Any existence that involves the words 'Clan Guardian' represents a part of a sect's foundation!

And you, with just a flick of your tongue, want to kill the Cloud Heaven Valley’s Clan Guardian Plant and refine it into your Martial Soul?

That's a bit too much!

The Ice Emperor hesitated.

However, Tang Wu was also clever and immediately realized he had been too direct. He quickly added, "Father, don’t overthink this. Although the Skybinding Immortal Vine is a Clan Guardian Plant, the Cloud Heaven Valley cannot cultivate it to its peak."

"Rather than wasting a large amount of resources and failing to reach its peak, it would be better if I refine it into a Martial Soul."

"This way, the Cloud Heaven Valley won't have to waste a large amount of resources, time, and effort on it."

"And I can gain a significant boost in strength!"

"Furthermore, I can better protect the sect in the future, isn't that right?"

"I firmly believe that my future self will be more powerful than a Skybinding Immortal Vine and more suitable as a part of the sect's foundation!"

"Father, what do you think?"

The Ice Emperor: "..."

What do I think?

What a thought.

But what you say does seem to make some sense.

If I refine it myself, with the support of the Soul Master system, on the Immortal Martial Continent, I may not necessarily become a saint or an ancestor, but at least I can become a formidable expert and.

possible to reach the Eighth Stage or even the the Ninth Stage and Ascend to Immortality.

With such strength, serving as the foundation of the Cloud Heaven Valley is more than enough.

To put it that way, the existence of theSkybinding Immortal Vine is indeed not a problem.

Although secretly killing the sect's Clan Guardian Plant is somewhat inappropriate and falls under the category of acting first and explaining later, as long as my adopted son can protect the Cloud Heaven Valley in the future, there won’t be any problem.

Thinking this over, the Ice Emperor finally agreed, "Well... it might work."

"Father's agreement is good!"

"But Father, although I have the idea, I lack the strength. After all, I am only at the Second Stage and without a Martial Soul, I can hardly display much combat power."

"Does Father have a method to help me kill theSkybinding Immortal Vine and quietly obtain its divine soul to refine into a Martial Soul?"

The Ice Emperor frowned.

"The strength gap is too large. Even with my current state, it would be extremely difficult to succeed with full effort!"

"Let me think about it."

After much deliberation, the Ice Emperor finally thought of two methods.

"There are two methods."

"The first, under my cover, we can proceed gradually. You find an opportunity to use a minor earth technique to dig a hole!"

"Dig a hole?"

"Yes, dig a hole. Over time, when the hole is deep enough to connect with the earth’s veins, I will temporarily control your body, set up an array, and summon the earth’s fire to boil, causing lava to rage!"

"Although theSkybinding Immortal Vine is powerful, it is still a plant, and most plants fear fire. The earth’s fire is not ordinary fire, and with the support of a major array, it won’t be difficult to destroy theSkybinding Immortal Vine."

"How long will it take?" Hearing the gradual process, Tang Wu was not pleased.

"Given your current cultivation and the need to be cautious and avoid being discovered..."

"About a year should be enough."

"A year?!"

Tang Wu’s face turned dark.

That’s too long!

"What about the second method?"

"The second method..."

"The second method is against the will of heaven."

The Ice Emperor sighed lightly. "Our strength is insufficient, but we can borrow a knife to kill the vine. The Cloud Heaven Valley has enemies. If the enemies invade..."

He stopped speaking, not saying more.

He only hinted at it.

Mainly because such a method is too extreme.

Not only to kill the sect's Clan Guardian Plant, but even to collude with external enemies to invade.

If a fight were to break out, how many would die?

Talking about protecting the sect...

But you can't just dig your own grave and bury your own people, right?

That's not how things are done!

But Tang Wu's mind was quick to catch on: "Foster father, I think the second method is not bad!"

Ice Emperor: "???"

"Cough, Foster Father, listen to my cunning... I mean, listen to my analysis."

"..."

The mega-transmission array had an extremely long transmission distance, and the amount of Primordial Stones required to activate it was a staggering number.

Due to the significance of the mega-transmission array, only true 'Metropolises' had the qualifications to construct it.

Even the Xuanwu Immortal City didn't have one.

In the entire Southwest Region, there were no more than five Immortal Cities qualified to build a mega-transmission array.

One of them was the Southwest Imperial Capital, also known as the strongest Immortal City in the Southwest Region, without a doubt, referred to as the 'Imperial Capital'.

After a journey of several days, Xiao Ling'er and her group finally arrived at the Imperial Capital. Throughout the journey, they kept a low profile and focused on traveling, so they didn't encounter any unexpected incidents.

Upon reaching the Imperial Capital...

Everyone in the group felt their 'weakness'.

The area near the Moonseizing Sect was considered a 'barren' region.

In the language of the Imperial Capital, they were 'country bumpkins'.

In that place, a Fourth Stage cultivator was already considered a powerful expert, and a Fifth Stage cultivator? They were at the level of Sect Patriarchs!

Moreover, many sects didn't even have cultivators of such advanced stages.

However, in the Imperial Capital, it was a common sight.

Fifth Stage cultivators were everywhere, and Fourth Stage cultivators were as common as dogs! Sixth Stage cultivators were also ordinary, not hard to find.

Even within just half an hour of walking around, they encountered several Seventh Stage and one Eighth Stage powerful cultivators! This made them all feel the pressure.

Yet, the prosperity and liveliness of the Imperial Capital also made them reluctant to leave.

"The mega-transmission array to the North Region will only open again tomorrow, so we need to wait for a night. Why don't we spend this night exploring the Imperial Capital?"

Wu Xingyun suggested.

"Of course, that's a great idea."

Xiao Ling'er and the other three all nodded in agreement.

Then, Xiao Ling'er whispered, "About a year and a half ago, I came to the Imperial Capital once, but at that time, I was just a First Stage junior cultivator. I couldn't sense the cultivation and realms of those powerful cultivators, nor could I understand their strength."

"At that time, I only felt the prosperity of the Imperial Capital."

"Now I realize that the Imperial Capital has not only prosperity but also strength!"

"Indeed." Wu Xingyun sighed.

"All the prosperity is built upon strength."

"Even though the Imperial Capital is far more prosperous than Xuanwu Immortal City, more than ten times over, if there weren't enough powerful cultivators guarding it, it might not even last a day before changing hands or turning into ruins."

Li Changshou, rarely speaking up, said, "The world of Immortal Cultivators is this cruel."

"Everything is based on strength, and weakness is a sin."

"But no matter the talent, those who survive are the ones qualified to become powerful."

Xiao Ling'er nodded heavily.

She naturally understood that the elders were educating her, and she listened attentively.

To survive...!

She must survive.

Otherwise, how could she fulfill that three-year promise, how could she make those who wronged her pay, and how could she repay her teacher, master, and sect?

That night...

While strolling around, Xiao Ling'er discovered another bronze fragment, which belonged to the same object as the one she had obtained for free in Xuanwu Immortal City.

But this time, she had to pay a price to acquire it.

The seller was knowledgeable and was certain that it was a key fragment to some ancient ruins, although it was severely damaged.

Unfortunately, even with the two bronze fragments combined, they only made up about 'half' of the whole.

To assemble the complete key, they would need some luck.

The next day, at dawn...

The giant transmission array was densely packed with people, with over a thousand layers.

Those who couldn't fly were at the bottom, and those who could fly found their own spots to wait.

After all, they were all Immortal Cultivators, and even Second Stage cultivators could manage short-distance flight for a while.

First Stage cultivators couldn't fly, but how many First Stage cultivators dared to travel across regions alone?

After Xiao Ling'er's group paid the fee, they entered the transmission array.

Boom!!!

The silver light unique to the transmission array soared into the sky, and in an instant, over a million cultivators disappeared from the Southwest Imperial Capital...

...

To the North Region, the Qianyuan Immortal Dynasty's capital.

Boom!!!

The massive silver-white divine light descended from the sky.

Soon, the silver light dissipated, and countless cultivators emerged.

"We've arrived!"

"Why are you still standing there?"

"Hurry up and get out!"

"Remember to abide by the laws of our dynasty, or you'll be killed without question, even if you're the son of the Heavenly Emperor!"

A person in charge of the transmission array shouted loudly, his voice echoing in all directions.

Xiao Ling'er and her group followed the crowd and began to explore the Qianyuan Immortal Dynasty's capital.

"We've never been to the North Region before."

Wu Xingyun whispered, "Ling'er, you should know something about it, right?"

The Immortal Martial Continent was too vast.

Even though they had lived for many years, they hadn't traveled far.

They couldn't even explore the Southwest Region thoroughly, let alone reach the North Region.

"Actually, I don't know much either."

Xiao Ling'er sighed lightly, "When I was young, I was always within the clan. After I left, I was always on the run, so I didn't have much time to learn."

"But I do know the general situation."

"I think the biggest difference is in the power structure."

"The Southwest Region is mainly composed of sects, with some Immortal Ancient Clans standing tall, and then there are the various Immortal Cultivator families."

"In the North Region, the number of sects is far fewer than in the Southwest Region, but the average strength is higher."

"The sects in the North Region are all very powerful, almost all of them are second-rate or above."

"The mainstream powers in the North Region are Immortal Cultivator families and Immortal Dynasties!"

"At the same time, most Immortal Cultivator families are affiliated with the Immortal Dynasties."

"Thus, in the Northern Domain, the strongest are actually the Immortal Dynasties."

"Like the Qianyuan Immortal Dynasty, it is the strongest Immortal Dynasty in the Northern Domain, and it is also the pinnacle among first-rate forces!"

"The place we are in now is the capital of the Qianyuan Immortal Dynasty, though it is just the outer region."

At this point, Xiao Ling'er turned around and looked at the incredibly dazzling and sacred buildings enveloped in Immortal Radiance, and said, "There, that is within the Immortal Dynasty."

"Oh?"

"Does it exist in the form of an Empire?"

"This is indeed very different from our Southwest Domain."

"Sects... It seems they are quite suppressed in the Northern Domain."

The elders all felt somewhat surprised.

It wasn't that they lacked knowledge, but the Immortal Martial Continent was truly vast. They were already busy managing their own territories, who would have the time to care about such distant lands? They wouldn't even bother to read history books!

"What about your Xiao Family?"

Duan Qingyao asked.

Xiao Ling'er fell silent for a moment before saying, "The Xiao Family is one of the families in the Qianyuan Immortal Dynasty, and the old ancestor holds an official position in the court, though not a high one. However, relying on this great tree, the Xiao Family has developed rapidly over these thousands of years."

"Currently, the Xiao Family has nearly a million descendants. However, due to the large number of people and many factions, the family has long since split into branches."

"The Clan Headquarters is within the capital."

"Besides that, there are many branch families and offshoots scattered in various places."

"The Xiao Family I belong to is one of these offshoots."

"It is located in a small city called Black Water City in the northwest of the Qianyuan Immortal Dynasty."

"In Black Water City, the Xiao Family is also a prominent family. After migrating for a few hundred years, they have gradually established a foothold and lived comfortably."

"But every ten years, the Clan Headquarters sends people here..."

At this point, Xiao Ling'er's expression gradually became grim, and her breathing became rapid.

"When I was young, I didn't understand, thinking they were just here to collect resources. After all, the Clan Headquarters provides protection, so taking some resources isn't too much to ask."

"But a little over a year ago, the Clan Headquarters sent people again. This time, in addition to taking resources, they gathered all the young women in the family and then..."

"Selected people."

At this point, Xiao Ling'er took a deep breath, barely calming down, and continued, "I was chosen."

"At first, I was very happy."

"I thought I would be taken to the Clan Headquarters for cultivation and become a great cultivator!"

"But later, I learned by chance that they weren't there to cultivate people, but to... select people to be servants, to be..."

Xiao Ling'er gritted her teeth, making a crunching sound, "Household slaves, even household concubines!"

"If someone from the Clan Headquarters likes you, you become their concubine or servant."

"If no one likes you, you become a household concubine used to attract strong people or entertain them!"

"Even, you become a plaything they can toy with and exchange at will."

"And during this process, if you show the slightest disobedience or dissatisfaction, you might be beaten to the point of being covered in bruises, or worse, directly annihilated, vanishing into ashes."

"After all, they are all cultivators, and most have considerable cultivation."

"Without any status or humanity."

Upon hearing this, the four elders all changed their expressions.

"How can this be!"

"Such a family actually exists?!"

"The Clan Headquarters of the Xiao Family is truly hateful!"

Xiao Ling'er gave a bitter laugh.

"From heaven to hell."

"I thought being chosen meant I was going to heaven, but it turned out to be hell."

"So, I fled."

"But the cost was heavy."

"My father and mother died helping me escape."

"When I fled, I made a solemn vow: in three years, I would attack the Clan Headquarters, kill the Clan Headquarters' genius who had his eyes on me, to avenge my parents' blood!"

"This time, I came back..."

Xiao Ling'er lowered her head, "It's because my parents' anniversary is coming up. Although it's just a symbolic tomb, I still want to pay my respects."

"Last year, I couldn't, but this year, I want to come back."

"..."

Slap.

Wu Xingyun gently patted Xiao Ling'er's shoulder, interrupting her increasingly low spirits.

"You should come back."

"Don't worry too much."

"This blood revenge must be repaid with blood."

"As for the Xiao Family, it's better not to stay. From now on, the Moonseizing Sect will be your home!"

"Yes."

Xiao Ling'er murmured, "From now on, the Moonseizing Sect will be my home."

"But this time, I also want to collect some interest."

"But it will be very dangerous."

"Four Elders, perhaps you could..."

"No need to say more." Duan Qingyao waved her hand, "Our personally transmitted disciple has suffered such humiliation and bears such blood revenge. How can we, as elders, stand by and do nothing?!"

"Only through battle!"

"Although our strength isn't great, we have never been afraid."

"Let's go to Black Water City!"

Seeing their determined attitude, Xiao Ling'er couldn't say anything more and immediately led the way. After several days of travel, passing through nearly thirty transmission arrays, they finally arrived near Black Water City.

The elders couldn't help but sigh.

"Who knows how much hardship Xiao Ling'er endured when she came to the Moonseizing Sect alone?"

And all of this was due to the Xiao Family!

...

At the grave, Xiao Ling'er wept uncontrollably, tears streaming down her face.

"Ha ha ha!"

"Xiao Ling'er, it's really you?!"

At this moment, a group of people surrounded her, the leader's face beaming with excitement.

"I just wanted to try my luck, but I didn't expect you to really dare come back."

"What a great achievement!"

"My luck is really good!"
