Chapter 771: Chapter 224: Creating History Single-Handedly, the Immortal Realm Dares Not Cross Eastward

For him, these materials that would melt upon encountering Withered Fire were utterly useless, and forging them for others might invite disaster, so he simply discarded them.

Now, it’s not over yet.

When he acts, he either does nothing or sees it through to the end.

At this moment, his expression was mysterious, seated in the shadows, exuding a terrifying and inscrutable aura.

...

...

In the distance.

On a white sandbank in a body of water, a man wrapped in a black cloak looked in shock at the sudden burst of golden light in the distance, swallowing nervously.

Beside the water, there were also many ships loading and unloading cargo.

Elder Liu of the Mountain Hall was in charge of the water transport here. During the day, he had already learned of the news from Rongmu Square and at the same time lost contact with the Hall Master. He had a vague premonition... the Hall Master was caught up in this incident.

Feeling that something was increasingly amiss, he slowly walked to the white sandbank, came beside the Immortal Realm disciple, and whispered, "Upper Envoy..."

Before he could finish, he was interrupted.

"Elder Liu, do not call me Upper Envoy."

Elder Liu was taken aback into silence, then pondered.

The Immortal Realm disciple looked at the water surface and said, "Arrange a ship. I must leave Jade Capital, right now."

Elder Liu: ...

As he hesitated, a scream suddenly came from afar.

He turned abruptly, just in time to see a disciple guarding the door suddenly vanish, and that scream was his last response...

After the scream, more and more screams followed.

The Immortal Realm disciple began to pant heavily, looking around and suddenly jumped into the Celestial Dragon River beside him. The turbulent yellow water swiftly engulfed him.

This disciple did not dare to fly or walk on the ground; he leaped into the water, hoping to swim out of Jade Capital.

He already knew his senior brother who had gone to explore Rongmu Square was dead, and now... that monster had come.

The Divine Spirit of the Western Pole.

An ancient monster.

Betrayal.

These pieces of information interwove, clashing back and forth in his mind.

Cultivation is not easy; he did not want to die here.

Elder Liu listened to the screams behind him and saw the frightened Immortal Realm disciple jump into the water. He had weathered many storms, but his heart raced wildly at this moment too.

Like some monster was nearing in the darkness.

Suddenly, he saw a ghastly white ghost hand, pulling a disciple standing close to a window into the interior, causing that disciple to disappear without a trace.

Elder Liu was so terrified his soul almost left his body. He no longer hesitated and also jumped into the rushing river water. Though he didn’t know why he should jump, following the Upper Envoy’s example could not be wrong.

Elder Liu and the Immortal Realm disciple drifted downstream, quickly exiting Jade Capital City, but not far after that, they saw downstream, near a forest, a touch of golden light flickering.

The transport ships quietly passed through the golden light.

But the two of them stopped immediately in fear, then cautiously turned back.

This Immortal Realm disciple was also someone remarkable. After returning to Jade Capital, he immediately stripped off the Yellow Armor, stored some items in a hidden place, and then altered his hairstyle, disguised himself, shrank his bones, discarding everything that could verify his identity as an Immortal Envoy.

Then, as before, the disciple quietly boarded a water transport ship, planning to drift downstream and then retreat.

However... as he just entered the gates of that transport ship, he found himself in a strange wilderness.

He looked up and revealed a fearful, bitter smile.

What awaited him... was undoubtedly a blinding Withered Fire of destruction.

This disciple felt a mix of fear and curiosity in his heart.

He had gone to such lengths, had disguised himself to the point that he didn’t even recognize himself, yet why... why did it still end this way?

Li Yuan casually killed the disciple, finally letting out a sigh of relief.

Appearances might deceive, but the data at his side would not.

No matter how this Immortal Realm disciple changed his appearance, his data never changed.

And with this Immortal Realm disciple’s death, the influence of the East Sea in Jade Capital City was finally eradicated.

...

...

Whoosh.

When Li Yuan returned to the An Divine Hall, it was already afternoon.

Even with his capabilities, these past few days had been extremely exhausting.

Upon seeing Xie Wei, he stated, "It’s all resolved, now you may take action against the other eight Commanders. But as for diminishing fiefs, I will not participate for now."

Xie Wei suddenly bowed gracefully.

Li Yuan helped her up, asking, "What is it?"

Xie Wei softly replied, "Many thanks, Senior, for avenging my Xie Family’s blood feud. Others may not know, but I understand fully in my heart. Henceforth, Xie Wei belongs neither to the Dragon Vein nor the Immortal Realm, but only to you, Senior."

After speaking, she suddenly called out, "Come!"

Two palace maids came from outside, and Xie Wei asked, "Is the Jade Heart Pool ready?"

One palace maid said, "Reporting to the Empress Dowager, it was just completed the day before yesterday."

Xie Wei commanded, "Prepare to head to the Jade Heart Pool."

With the carriage prepared, she waved and called out, "Chang Xin, get on the carriage, accompany the Empress Dowager to the Jade Heart Pool for a bath. You have made the Empress Dowager quite happy these days, and thus the Empress Dowager rewards you."

The Empress Dowager’s fondness for the eunuch was already widespread, and the two palace maids found it unsurprising.

Moreover, the Empress Dowager seemed to be radiant these days as if rejuvenated, yet... a eunuch could hardly bring such vitality to the Empress Dowager.

Unless, this was a fake eunuch.

Yet this news only circulated in people’s hearts, with no one daring to speak it aloud.

Li Yuan, feeling weary, heard that Xie Wei wanted to indulge a bit and boarded the carriage. Such an experience was rare.

The Jade Heart Pool was a natural hot spring reserved for the Royal Family, located north of the Imperial Palace. During the Lotus Sect’s turmoil, this hot spring was buried, and its restoration required considerable effort and time to allow the hot spring to become clear again and the surrounding environment to be elegant once more.
