Chapter 1145 - 228: Ning Zheng’s Anger and the Immortal Venerates’ Contempt

Chapter 1145: Chapter 228: Ning Zheng’s Anger and the Immortal Venerates’ Contempt

Check on Xi Rong?

As soon as the words fell, everyone showed a bit of interest.

The interest mainly came from the Immortal Venerates of the Netherworld, as killing the Bottle-Storage Immortal Venerate was a slap in their face.

If they couldn’t catch him before, that’s one thing, but why not seize the chance now?

Taking advantage of the banquet, the Immortal Realm and the Netherworld teamed up to calculate, catching a little mouse on the side, just an impromptu performance.

But their improvised act could be a heavy burden, a matter of life and death, for a certain small faction.

The Chaotic Yellow Immortal Venerable suddenly laughed: "What’s there to check? The Embers of Xirong Manor are surely another masterpiece of Xian, isn’t it just the work of that artist’s hand? All come from Embers, Xirong and the artist must have a close tie."

The Ten Thousand Beasts Immortal Venerate of the Immortal Realm also suddenly said in a cold voice:

"Indeed, what’s there to divine? Divining about Xi Rong, the results will most likely point to Xian... Besides, the divination might also be false. Some in the Netherworld have already defected to the artist, greeting the return of their master... These Immortal Venerates will inevitably upset the final results of divination, even divert the outcome to unrelated cultivators, making us laughable."

The Immortal Venerates of the Netherworld were instantly enraged: "Ten Thousand Beasts Immortal Venerate! What do you mean? How could anyone in the Netherworld defect to that artist? That person is of Xian’s lineage."

"I believe it’s your Immortal Realm’s Immortal Venerates who are clandestinely placing bets on Xian and betraying the faction of the Three Immortal Venerates."

"It’s your Netherworld who has betrayal!"

"Your Immortal Realm is just sanctimonious!"

Certain cultivators from the Immortal and Netherworld Realms began mocking each other.

The joint divination attempt by the Netherworld and Immortal Realm was just a joke.

"What a farce." The Heart Water Immortal Venerate and other ancient existences showed dark expressions, for how could they not know that some Immortal Venerates had already defected to Xian’s faction?

To oppose these ancient Immortal Venerates?

And these future Immortal Venerates were inherently rebellious, unwilling to submit.

But they had no evidence, couldn’t do anything to them, and even had to invite them to attend the banquet.

In reality, after severing the River of Time back then.

Xian.

The Three Immortal Venerates.

Both factions wanted to lay plans for the [future].

After the fall of the Three Immortal Venerates in the future, they left the Ancient Tombs of their bodies, and their successors rose to become Immortal Venerates there.

And after Xian fell in the future, similarly, in every world, there is an Ancient Tomb of Xian’s body, hoping Xian can rise in that era as an Immortal Venerate.

Unfortunately...

The residual tombs of both sides went to war, resulting in a one-sided outcome.

Numerous Xians emerging from the tombs were quickly besieged by backhands from those emerging from the Three Immortal Venerates’ tombs, like Jiumu Qing and the Holy Spirit Immortal Venerate.

Xian’s tombs were disastrously defeated, those emerging from the tombs of the Three Immortal Venerates became the dominators of the era.

However, there are still many remnants of Xian.

This small portion of Xian continues to secretly plot, seeking to overturn the regime.

And to this day, some Immortal Venerates from the Netherworld and Immortal Realm are secretly betraying the faction of the Three Immortal Venerates, preparing to defect to Xian’s faction.

That’s why the artist’s distinguished origin accounts for why the Immortal Venerates would listen to his arrangements!

The artist, although not Xian himself, is the transformation of Xian after his death and the decay of his body in future generations, making him Xian’s true successor.

Much like Pangu fell and transformed into the Three Pristine Ones, Ancestral Witches, as true descendants of Pangu.

"Enough, now Xian, is trying to stage a comeback in the [future], to vie with us for the territory on the other side, and even brought out the Embers Pseudo-human twin calamities. What do you all think?"

The Life Immortal Venerate spoke, waving his hand for the Dancing Lady Su Yuniang’s troop to withdraw.

And the troop of Su Yuniang was given a few Immortal Treasures and Immortal Fruits, leaving just like that, with no one caring.

"The past has already solidified."

At this moment, the Space Immortal Venerate played with a dagger in his hand, sitting on the Space Throne, he said calmly: "Our decisive battle with Xian, no one can change it... but the future era is unknown."

The Time Immortal Venerate opened his mouth blandly: "Our factions on both sides have fallen, yet eternally exist in the past, now what we’re battling for is merely the era after our deaths, infinite possible [futures]."

Life Immortal Venerate smiled: "Future’s heaven and earth will undergo great change, the twilight of the gods, though weak, the laws of the era will be stable, unlike now, perhaps it can accommodate the birth of new Supreme Immortal Venerates."

The Three Immortal Venerates respectively expressed their ideas, highlighting the main theme, extending the topic.

And next, the Metal Immortal Venerate with the attribute of Five Elements and Jiumu Immortal Venerate also spoke:

"Three Emperors, my daughter Jiumu Qing, has transformed into the Nether Cauldron Immortal Venerate and Refining Cauldron Immortal Venerate in future generations, although with different factions, they absolutely will not submit to Xian."

"The Immortal Venerates of my Jiumu lineage, no matter what, they are the core forces of our Three Immortal Venerates in the [future], if further assistance could be given to my daughter’s Jiumu forces..."

Next, the Immortal Venerates continued discussing how to respond to this change in heaven and earth.

...

Three days later.

Dancing Lady Su Yuniang joyfully returned.

The dance, with the Immortal Venerate’s reward, was extremely satisfying.

The client was so straightforward, so bold.

Seeing the team of Su Yuniang walking out from the Time Ancient Tomb replica, Ning Zheng never imagined, they didn’t care about him at all.

His numerous backups, precautions, turned out to be a joke.

There were already moles within the Immortal Realm and Netherworld, they were not of one mind, the joint divination by both sides was a joke, it was not going to happen.

Ning Zheng indeed overestimated himself.

Just like a petty fugitive, always afraid a passing general would see him, living in terror, unable to eat or sleep peacefully...

In reality, this general couldn’t be bothered with such insignificant bandits.

"But I have no choice, as a grasshopper, I must be prepared."

He sighed,

"Perhaps it was just a whim for them to step forward, but if I don’t take emergency evasive action, find dozens of ways to hide, any careless step on me could be catastrophic!"

Ning Zheng’s face turned sullen, in a not-so-good mood.

If the other party really focused on him, made a move... got drawn to Xian’s side by him, blocked by his methods, that would be fine.

But now, the fact that they didn’t make a move instead made him inexplicably angry.

For the greatest disrespect... is to be ignored.

Shame gives rise to courage.

Ning Zheng’s eyes flickered, finally turning into a sigh, "I am still too weak."

His anger and irritation were not about the Immortal Venerates ignoring him, but more at his own weakness.

Hating his lack of risk resistance, having to be cautious about everything, summoning any dancer made him think they might have discovered him.

But they really just wanted a dancer, to mock the Netherworld Immortal Venerate... the Immortal Realm Immortal Venerate previously wouldn’t care about Xirong’s affairs, why would they at this banquet?

What they cared about was always enemies on a higher level.

...

On the other side.

Going to possess Xian’s Sun Moon Su Yuniang, Su Yuniang, Dao Yueniang, hurriedly changed into Pseudo-human Three Flowers, were now extremely angry.

"Just returned like that?"

"Our Miscellaneous Fish Lady Corps was really just invited to perform a dance? No deeper purpose?"

They were angry too, but not at the weakness of their Su Yuniang army, rather at the Immortal Venerates ignoring them! We’ve gone to great lengths, yet nothing happened?

"The Immortal Venerates dared to ignore our carefully layered defenses, didn’t divine us, didn’t attack our Xirong?"

Su Yuniang’s logic was very clear, issuing a rare little demon girl’s comment:

"They blatantly humiliated us at the banquet, not divining us, simply courting death!!"
