Chapter 2629: If I Say I’m the Emperor’s Palace Master, Would You Believe Me?
Fang Bai saw that the Tianzhi Immortal Emperor and Jin Zhong Immortal Emperor were locked in a deadlock, unable to determine a victor for the moment. Plus, surrounded by the Immortal Formation formed by hundreds of Emperor’s Palace disciples, his escape route was cut off, so he felt at ease.
He turned his head to glance at the Carefree Palace, then transformed into a stream of light and rushed there.
The Carefree Palace was the residence of the Carefree Immortal Emperor, protected by powerful formations personally set by the Carefree Immortal Emperor. Ordinary immortals approaching would be attacked by the formation, and they could hardly escape death.
But for someone like Fang Bai, who was unmatched in formations, even the most formidable Immortal Formation was essentially as good as nonexistent.
"What are you doing?"
Seeing Fang Bai’s virtual hand movements after which the Defense Qi Shield of the Carefree Palace collapsed without attack, Jin Zhong Immortal Emperor was shocked and terrified. He forced Tianzhi Immortal Emperor back with all his might and lunged towards Fang Bai with a roar.
The Carefree Palace was the Immortal Residence of the Carefree Immortal Emperor, and beneath it lay a gigantic treasury where the Carefree Immortal Emperor had amassed millions of years’ worth of cultivation resources. If stolen, Jin Zhong Immortal Emperor would be unforgivable.
"Heh, Jin Zhong old ghost, your opponent is me!"
Tianzhi Immortal Emperor let out a long howl and summoned an Immortal Artifact, forcing Jin Zhong Immortal Emperor to turn back and defend.
By this time, Fang Bai’s figure had already merged into the Carefree Palace.
"Bastard! Get out of my way! Tianzhi, I’ll smash you to death!"
Jin Zhong Immortal Emperor knew that if Fang Bai could break the protective formation set by the Carefree Immortal Emperor, he might also be able to break the seal on the treasury’s formation. If not stopped, the large amount of cultivation resources within the treasury would be in danger.
He was so anxious that he broke out in cold sweat, yelling and attacking Tianzhi Immortal Emperor frantically, occasionally enlargening the Jin Zhong Immortal Artifact a hundredfold to crush Tianzhi Immortal Emperor like a mountain.
In a battle between two evenly matched immortals, the more anxious you are, the more mistakes you make, unable to exert your full combat power.
Jin Zhong Immortal Emperor understood this principle as well, but at this moment, seeing the Palace Master’s accumulated cultivation resources about to be stolen, how could he remain calm?
Jin Zhong Immortal Emperor grew more anxious and impatient, continuously roaring. In contrast, Tianzhi Immortal Emperor dealt with his attacks calmly and occasionally mocked him to provoke his anger further.
Their purpose in entering Bluewater Immortal City was twofold: to destroy the Carefree Palace and to seize the cultivation resources of the Carefree Palace.
As for Jin Zhong Immortal Emperor, once the Palace Master obtained the cultivation resources, joining forces to strike him down was not too late.
The Carefree Immortal Emperor imprisoned Emperor’s Palace disciples, using various means to extort the Emperor’s Palace Immortal Technique Secrets, a deed heinous enough to warrant death. As an accomplice, Jin Zhong Immortal Emperor naturally wouldn’t be spared by Fang Bai.
Fang Bai aimed to show the Carefree Immortal Emperor that the Emperor’s Palace was not to be trifled with!
Even if, after this incident, the Emperor’s Palace gained another powerful enemy, Fang Bai was unafraid.
Fang Bai emerged from the Carefree Palace after only a few dozen breaths.
He smiled at the watching Tianzhi Immortal Emperor, indicating success, then flew into the air and clapped his hands.
One by one, hundred-meter-sized Immortal Qi Palms repeatedly slammed down on the Immortal Halls below.
With loud booms, the Carefree Palace, comprised of over a hundred Immortal Halls, successively collapsed into heaps of ruins.
"Ah... Ah..."
Witnessing this scene, Jin Zhong Immortal Emperor’s eyes turned crimson, growing more frenzied, his roars echoing like thunder across Bluewater Immortal City.
"Old fool, what are you screaming for? If you want to die, I’ll grant you that wish!"
After destroying the Carefree Palace, Fang Bai flew over, ready to join forces with Tianzhi Immortal Emperor to take down the already exposing-flaws Jin Zhong Immortal Emperor.
In his left hand, a small cauldron appeared out of thin air, exuding an aura seemingly from ancient times. Observing immortals from afar in Bluewater Immortal City felt an unprecedented pressure from the small cauldron.
"Could this cauldron be another Emperor’s Instrument?"
Tianzhi Immortal Emperor, also seeing Fang Bai summon such a small cauldron for the first time, could tell with his keen eye that this small cauldron exceeded the Immortal Artifact category and should be an Emperor’s Instrument.
Tianzhi Immortal Emperor knew about Fang Bai previously inserting the Blood-Drinking Mad Blade into Red Dawn Peak to lure the Carefree Immortal Emperor away from Bluewater Immortal City.
But he always thought the Blood-Drinking Mad Blade was an Emperor’s Instrument.
For an ordinary Immortal Emperor, possessing one Emperor’s Instrument was rare, yet unexpectedly, the Palace Master had summoned another Emperor’s Cauldron at the turn of a hand, much to Tianzhi Immortal Emperor’s surprise and delight.
He knew Fang Bai had the ability to challenge beyond his level, and with this Emperor’s Instrument assisting, even without summoning those powerful Puppet Corpses, they could easily kill Jin Zhong Immortal Emperor together.
While Jin Zhong Immortal Emperor dealt with Tianzhi Immortal Emperor’s attacks, seeing Fang Bai carrying the small cauldron step by step through the void, cold sweat ran down his back, and he was seized by a sense of fear.
In his eyes, Fang Bai was originally just a mid-level Immortal Emperor Realm, hardly enough to be concerned. Yet at this moment, Fang Bai not only emanated a high-level Immortal Emperor Realm aura after holding the cauldron but his energy surged, now resembling a peak Immortal Emperor Realm powerhouse.
"Jin Zhong Immortal Emperor, do you want to live or to die?"
After Fang Bai approached Jin Zhong Immortal Emperor, he suddenly asked.
Jin Zhong Immortal Emperor hesitated, instinctively responding: "What do you mean?"
Fang Bai said: "If you want to live, submit to me and serve me from now on! If you want to die, I’ll join forces with Tianzhi Immortal Emperor to kill you!"
Jin Zhong Immortal Emperor furrowed his brows, then gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "Take my life? It’s not that easy!"
Fang Bai laughed: "Is that truly what you think?"
Jin Zhong Immortal Emperor said: "If you dare kill me, it means becoming an enemy of the Carefree Immortal Emperor..."
Before he could finish speaking, Fang Bai interrupted with a wave of his hand.
"Carefree Immortal Emperor?"
Fang Bai coldly laughed: "He imprisoned and harmed my Emperor’s Palace disciples, attempting to steal our Emperor’s Palace Immortal Technique Secrets. If anyone’s an enemy, it’s the Carefree Immortal Emperor who became an enemy of my Emperor’s Palace first!"
Jin Zhong Immortal Emperor’s eyes darted around, saying: "This might be a misunderstanding..."
Fang Bai chuckled, "You don’t need to stall for time; the Carefree Immortal Emperor is occupied by the ’Emperor’s Instrument’ and won’t return anytime soon. I have ample time to kill you! Now, you have ten breaths to consider. Your life or death depends on these ten breaths!"
As Fang Bai spoke, he gestured for Tianzhi Immortal Emperor to pause the attack, and together they blocked Jin Zhong Immortal Emperor’s escape routes from front and back.
"I’ve dealt with the Emperor’s Palace in the past, but I’ve never seen someone like you... Who exactly are you?"
Jin Zhong Immortal Emperor stared at Fang Bai’s face, asking.
He saw that even Tianzhi Immortal Emperor, one of the thirty-six great battle generals of the Emperor’s Palace, seemed to follow Fang Bai’s lead, yet he couldn’t recall who Fang Bai could be within the Emperor’s Palace, filling his heart with doubt.
Fang Bai said: "If I say I’m the Emperor’s Palace Master, do you believe me?"
"Emperor’s Palace Master?"
Jin Zhong Immortal Emperor was taken aback, instinctively thinking that the so-called "Emperor’s Palace Master" Fang Bai referred to might have been elected by these Emperor’s Palace disciples, unrelated to the brilliant War Emperor who founded the Emperor’s Palace a thousand years ago.
