Chapter 358 - 353 Ruthless Slaughter

Chapter 358: Chapter 353 Ruthless Slaughter

After hearing Yan Rufeng’s voice, the crowd’s anxious emotions subsided, yet everyone’s hearts were filled with doubt, and they softly repeated three words under their breath.

"Azure Dragon Star??"

Soon after, the crowd erupted in chatter, creating a noisy scene.

Someone said, "Wasn’t the King supposed to take us to ascend to the Immortal World? What are we doing here at Azure Dragon Star?"

"Heh heh!"

Someone else laughed and said, "Daoist, you don’t know, do you? In my opinion, it must be because we can open the Gate to the Immortal Realm here on Azure Dragon Star. Otherwise, the King wouldn’t have brought us here!"

"Haha!"

Another person laughed loudly and said, "Daoist, you reminded me! Let me try sensing if I can open the Gate to the Immortal Realm..."

That person closed his eyes, muttering under his breath. After a long time, his brows furrowed, and he sighed, "Strange, why can’t I sense the Gate to the Immortal Realm? Can any of you sense it?"

"Sigh!"

Someone shook his head and sighed, "Daoist, I can’t sense the Gate to the Immortal Realm either..."

"Damn!"

A burly man roared, "What’s the situation? Could it be that the King has deceived us?"

"The King couldn’t possibly deceive us," someone yelled.

Another person retorted, "You say the King didn’t deceive us, then explain what’s going on right now?"

"Sigh!"

Someone spread his hands and said helplessly, "Stop arguing. If we want to know the truth, we can only ask the King and Qingyun..."

...

The scene was noisy, with complaints rising everywhere. Someone angrily rushed in front of Qingyun and shouted sternly, "Brother Qingyun, didn’t you say the King was going to lead us to the Immortal World? How do you explain this now?"

Without letting Qingyun speak, another person angrily said, "Old Man Qingyun, you tricked us into this dark place, Azure Dragon Star. What’s your real purpose? If you don’t give us a reasonable explanation today, this Azure Dragon Star will be your grave."​

In the crowd, another person shouted.

"Old Man Qingyun, give us a perfect explanation quickly, or I’ll make you suffer, even if it costs my life..."

Facing the crowd’s accusations, Qingyun, who was already puzzled, didn’t know how to explain. He cupped his hands toward where Yan Rufeng’s voice came from and said, "King, as you are about to ascend to the Immortal World, why did you bring us to this Azure Dragon Star?"

Although everyone had doubts, Yan Rufeng’s Immortal Venerable Divine Soul did not appear. She only smiled faintly and said slowly, "Qingyun, since I brought you here, it’s equivalent to bringing you to the Immortal World. You only need to rest and recuperate here. In due time, you will understand. Do not worry too much..."

After Yan Rufeng’s reassurance, the crowd fell silent. She then instructed the crowd to build palaces and temporarily cultivate on Azure Dragon Star.

...

Outside Canglong Star Domain, Xiao Fei and Ye Lingtian and others followed closely.

Xiao Fei looked serious and cupped his hands, "Brother Yan, the Kings of various allied nations are about to lead all the Mahayana Realm cultivators from their countries here. How should they be arranged?"

Yan Rufeng smiled faintly, "Brother Xiao, do not worry. I have my arrangements."

Ye Lingtian, looking slightly sad, bowed deeply, "Master, I’ve just arrived at Canglong, and you are already ascending to the Immortal World. I can’t bear to see you go so soon."

Yan Rufeng turned her gaze to Ye Lingtian and smiled, "Lingtian, if you have something you want, just say it."

Ye Lingtian secretly rejoiced but pretended to be composed, "Master, I don’t want anything. I just hope you can stay in the Mortal Domain a bit longer to ease the longing I’ve felt for years."

"Pfft!"

Xiao Fei, unable to hold back, burst out laughing.

"Not long ago, who was the one boasting shamelessly, saying that since Brother Yan was about to ascend, he wanted to take a big bite out of Brother Yan and get him to forge ten thousand sets of top-grade multi-attribute offensive and defensive spiritual artifacts? What’s this, Ye Lingtian? You’re quite the actor now!"

"Uh!"

Ye Lingtian stood there, pointing at Xiao Fei, stammering, "Xiao Fei, you... how can you betray a friend?"

Yan Rufeng shook her head helplessly, "Brother Xiao, was it you who encouraged Lingtian to say such things?"

"Uh."

Xiao Fei shrugged, "Brother Yan, you’re right. It was me who encouraged Ye Lingtian."

Yan Rufeng shook her head.

"Sigh, you’re too much!"

"Heh heh."

Xiao Fei smirked, "Brother Yan, isn’t Lingtian right? After you ascend to the Immortal World, what’s the use of keeping those spiritual artifacts?"

"Heh heh!"

Yan Rufeng smiled helplessly.

"Fine, since I’m about to ascend to the Immortal World, I have no use for these cultivation materials from the Mortal Domain. I will give them all to you."

"Yay!"

Ye Lingtian was excited to hear this, "Master, you’re the best! I almost love you to death."

A flash of light, and a storage ring appeared in Yan Rufeng’s hand.

Yan Rufeng placed the storage ring in Ye Lingtian’s hand and said sternly, "Lingtian, this storage ring contains nearly ten thousand sets of top-grade spiritual artifact sets, a million top-quality spirit grasses and spiritual medicines, and many rare cultivation items. They’re all yours now."

With trembling hands, Ye Lingtian accepted the storage ring, shouting, "Thank you, Master! Long live Master!"

Yan Rufeng suddenly became serious.

"Lingtian, when we return to Canglong Star later, I will officially announce that you will succeed as the second King of Hua Country on Canglong Star. What do you think?"

"You want me to be the King?"

Ye Lingtian pointed at himself and shook his head.

"Hah!"

Yan Rufeng smiled faintly.

"What, you don’t want to?"

Ye Lingtian saw Yan Rufeng’s smile was a bit forced. He knew that if he refused to become the King of Hua Country, Yan Rufeng would be displeased. Sighing in his heart, he thought, "Sigh, I finally arrived at this so-called cultivation paradise. Why can’t I focus on cultivation? Clearly, Master doesn’t understand me. I just want to defeat all my opponents and ascend to the Immortal World as soon as possible. I really don’t want to be a King or maintain order in the Mortal Domain..."

Seeing Ye Lingtian not responding for a while, Yan Rufeng put his hands behind his back and raised his voice, "Lingtian, you haven’t answered me yet!"

"Sigh!"

Ye Lingtian let out a long breath.

"I will follow Master’s orders!"

Yan Rufeng nodded in satisfaction, "Lingtian, there’s nothing more for you here. Go to the Hua Country Congress Building and wait for my message."

Ye Lingtian bowed and said, "I shall follow your orders!"

A rainbow light flashed, and Ye Lingtian disappeared in front of Yan Rufeng.

Xiao Fei, with a heavy expression, stepped forward through the void towards Yan Rufeng.

"Brother Yan, leading tens of billions of people to ascend to the Immortal World simultaneously, aren’t you afraid of causing panic in the entire Immortal Domain?"

Yan Rufeng turned her eyes towards Xiao Fei and smiled, "Brother Xiao, that’s their concern, not mine!"

"Uh!"

Xiao Fei was momentarily speechless, unable to rebut.

"Whoosh～"

An brilliant flash of light appeared, accompanied by the mechanical roar of a giant wormhole mother ship, hovering in front of Yan Rufeng and Xiao Fei.

The hatch opened, and an immortal-looking old man in azure robes respectfully approached Xiao Fei.

Seeing the azure-robed old man, Xiao Fei flew in front of him and greeted him, "Daoist Bai Qi from Cangmang Kingdom pays respects to the Alliance Leader."

Xiao Fei’s lips curled into a smile, "Country Master Bai Qi, no need for formalities."
