Chapter 2605: Unwilling to Accept
"Who...who exactly are you?"
After hearing the words "one of the thirty-six great war generals" and "revenge" from the mouth of Wushuang Immortal Emperor, Tianshu Immortal Emperor was shocked, staring at Wushuang Immortal Emperor with fierce eyes. A staggering aura suddenly erupted from him, enveloping Wushuang Immortal Emperor.
Liu Qingqing, Yan Muyu, and Qingyan Immortal King looked at Tianshu Immortal Emperor in astonishment, not understanding why he would react so intensely.
Moreover, from the aura released by Tianshu Immortal Emperor, they felt a pressure stronger than ever before.
It was as if, suddenly, Tianshu Immortal Emperor’s strength had multiplied several times.
"Calm down! I am a friend, not an enemy..."
Facing the astonishing Qi Shield enveloping him, Wushuang Immortal Emperor seemed unaffected, saying calmly, "Tell me, where do you live now? Are there other disciples around you?"
At this moment, the pressure exerted by Tianshu Immortal Emperor was that of a peak Immortal Emperor Realm expert. Seeing Fang Bai able to withstand it, he couldn’t help but gasp.
His true cultivation level was the peak of the Immortal Emperor Realm, while in front of him Wushuang Immortal Emperor was only in the mid-level Immortal Emperor Realm. The difference was two minor realms, yet the opponent could withstand his pressure, which puzzled him greatly.
Tianshu Immortal Emperor was certain that Wushuang Immortal Emperor already knew his identity, hence the question.
His identity must not be leaked under any circumstances, otherwise not only he would face a great calamity, but also some disciples from Junior Immortal Town would be implicated.
His pupils contracted, fixing his gaze tightly on Wushuang Immortal Emperor, and his fists clenched even tighter.
If not for Wushuang Immortal Emperor’s words "a friend, not an enemy," he would have already taken action to kill him to prevent his identity from being exposed.
Yan Muyu’s large, lively eyes kept appraising Wushuang Immortal Emperor, her brows slightly furrowed, appearing pensive.
When Wushuang Immortal Emperor released his aura to confront the enveloping pressure of Tianshu Immortal Emperor, from him she faintly sensed an aura that was familiar and comforting.
Her heart stirred, and upon confirming that the aura indeed came from Wushuang Immortal Emperor, her brows lifted, and a smile appeared on her lips.
In the next moment, she opened her arms, her figure transformed into a stream of light, rushing towards Wushuang Immortal Emperor.
"Mu Yu, don’t!"
Liu Qingqing, thinking Yan Muyu was actively attacking Wushuang Immortal Emperor, couldn’t help but call out.
All of Tianshu Immortal Emperor’s attention was on Wushuang Immortal Emperor. By the time he reacted and tried to stop Yan Muyu, it was already too late.
Qingyan Immortal King saw Yan Muyu about to collide with Wushuang Immortal Emperor and thought to himself, how could she, a fourth-grade Immortal King, survive an encounter with a mid-level Immortal Emperor Realm expert? He covered his face with his hands, not daring to watch.
"This girl... my concealment technique is so powerful that even the current Immortal Emperor can’t see through it, yet she can?"
Seeing Yan Muyu rush toward him with open arms, not in attack but in a "seeking a hug" posture, Wushuang Immortal Emperor knew she must have discerned his identity.
Wushuang Immortal Emperor was, naturally, Fang Bai.
Previously in Lihuo Immortal City, Fang Bai had sensed the aura of the Emperor’s Palace Immortal Technique from Qingyan Immortal King, knowing that this immortal had deep ties to the Emperor’s Palace. Thus he followed them all the way, wanting to see where they would settle and if there were traces of other Emperor’s Palace disciples around.
Later, when Tianshu Immortal Emperor appeared, Fang Bai was overjoyed and also learned that Tianshu Immortal Emperor and Qingyan Immortal King were father and son.
As one of the thirty-six great war generals of the Emperor’s Palace, Tianshu Immortal Emperor’s cultivation had reached the pinnacle a thousand years ago. Though his aptitude meant he’d never advance to the Immortal Emperor Realm, his strength had nevertheless improved somewhat over the millennium.
When Tianshu Immortal Emperor’s pressure enveloped Fang Bai just now, though Fang Bai appeared at ease, he was actually exerting all his might to resist. Otherwise, it would have been truly difficult to sustain.
Fang Bai marveled at how Yan Muyu could see through his identity, and seeing her rush toward him with open arms, he no longer concealed himself, smiling openly as he likewise spread his arms wide.
Under the watchful eyes of Tianshu Immortal Emperor, Qingyan Immortal King, and Liu Qingqing, they embraced each other tightly.
"This immortal... is a friend of the Peach Blossom Fairy?"
Seeing this scenario, Tianshu Immortal Emperor understood that Yan Muyu and Fang Bai’s relationship was extraordinary, and the killing intent dissipated from his chest.
At that moment, Liu Qingqing’s eyes brightened and she was overjoyed, activating the auspicious clouds beneath her feet, and also rushed towards Fang Bai.
Fang Bai freed an arm to embrace both women together.
"Friends... do they embrace like this?"
Qingyan Immortal King watched the two women he was infatuated with embrace "Wushuang Immortal Emperor" so intimately, while they had never shown him any attention. His eyes widened with resentment, his heart bitter.
Tianshu Immortal Emperor glanced at his son’s hurt expression and sighed, patting his shoulder, "If not friends, then they are immortal partners. My son, from now on, you should accept this."
Qingyan Immortal King said blankly, "Before, both of them said they had immortal partners, and I always thought they were lying to me... didn’t expect it to be true... But father, I’m unreconciled!"
Tianshu Immortal Emperor replied, "What good is being unreconciled? That immortal is younger and much stronger than you in every aspect; you can’t compare to him at all! Indeed, Mu Yu and Qingqing have good taste... But who is he really?"
After Fang Bai and Liu Qingqing, Yan Muyu shared their longing for each other, he took one of their hands with a smile and stepped onto auspicious clouds, coming before Tianshu Immortal Emperor.
Qingyan Immortal King, seeing Liu Qingqing and Yan Muyu hand-in-hand and cheerful beside Fang Bai, realized how stubborn and ridiculous his previous infatuation was.
As his father, Tianshu Immortal Emperor, said, this "Wushuang Immortal Emperor" had overwhelming advantages over him in every way, with no way to compete. Yan Muyu and Liu Qingqing being immortal partners with him was undeniably the right choice.
Though Qingyan Immortal King felt languid and dejected, a sense of relief seemed to settle within his heart.
"Uncle Tianshu, let me introduce... this is my and Mu Yu’s immortal partner, titled Wushuang Immortal Emperor..."
Liu Qingqing, unaware of Tianshu Immortal Emperor’s true identity, thought he was meeting Fang Bai for the first time and opened her mouth to introduce.
Tianshu Immortal Emperor was about to speak but Fang Bai interrupted.
"Tianshu Immortal Emperor, how about taking me to visit the Junior Immortal Town where you’re staying?"
Fang Bai asked with a smile.
Just now he heard Yan Muyu say that many immortals in the Junior Immortal Town obeyed Tianshu Immortal Emperor, prompting thoughts of whether there might be some Emperor’s Palace disciples there.
If so, that would be wonderful.
"Well..."
Tianshu Immortal Emperor hesitated.
As Fang Bai thought, there were indeed some Emperor’s Palace disciples in the Junior Immortal Town. Tianshu Immortal Emperor worried that bringing Fang Bai there might expose the Emperor’s Palace disciples, resulting in unimaginable consequences.
