Chapter 440: Chapter 434 Immortal Palace

On the Azure Dragon Star, the place where Li Mo preached was known to everyone as the ’Ascension Platform.’

Behind the Ascension Platform, there was a palace complex spanning over a hundred miles, elegantly named the ’Immortal Palace.’

Thus, Li Mo naturally became the Master of the Immortal Palace.

Yan Rufeng, holding the unconscious Jiayao, descended from the clouds and walked slowly towards the Immortal Palace.

When Yan Rufeng reached a gate tower, he looked up and saw three gilded characters emblazoned on it: ’South Heavenly Gate.’

"South Heavenly Gate?"

Yan Rufeng was suddenly stunned and murmured, "Is this merely a coincidence?"

Just as Yan Rufeng was puzzled, four imposing men jumped out, and the leader, a burly man with curly beard, shouted.

"Who goes there? State your name quickly."

"Ha!"

Seeing who they were, Yan Rufeng couldn’t help but laugh and thought, "These four must be the Four Heavenly Kings..."

"Kid, this is a crucial place of the Immortal Palace. Trespassing the South Heavenly Gate results in death!"

"You’d better leave quickly, or we won’t be polite."

Yan Rufeng straightened his chest and said calmly, "I am here to discuss important matters with your Immortal Emperor. Please inform him."

In fact, Yan Rufeng had no need to do this.

However, since this world already had its own climate, there must be an existing order of the Heavenly Dao.

Even though Yan Rufeng was the god of this world, he still had to abide by its rules.

Otherwise, if someone broke the order of heaven and earth, this world would have no reason to exist.

Yan Rufeng deeply understood this, so he did not go directly to find Li Mo, instead choosing this method to see him.

The burly man with the curly beard disdained and said, "If you are here to discuss matters with the Heavenly Emperor, then wait here for a moment."

One of the four men guarding the South Heavenly Gate flew off on a cloud.

When Li Mo heard that Yan Rufeng was stopped outside the South Heavenly Gate, he felt extremely flustered, fearing that the gatekeepers might speak disrespectfully to Yan Rufeng. Without any delay, he hurriedly led the Immortals to the South Heavenly Gate to welcome Yan Rufeng.

When Yan Rufeng saw Li Mo, whose face was as pale as paper, the corners of his mouth lifted slightly, and he smiled faintly.

"Patriarch Li, it’s been a long time. How have you been?"

Li Mo quickly knelt down and bowed, "I did not know of Emperor Yan’s arrival and failed to welcome you from afar. Please forgive me!"

Seeing this, a hushed murmur arose from the crowd.

"Boss, do you know who Emperor Yan is?"

"Boss, why would the Heavenly Emperor kneel to him?"

"Boss, we were not friendly earlier. What if he gets angry..."

Sigh.

"Brothers, don’t ask anymore. Earlier, the four of us stopped him at the gate. Now that even the Immortal Emperor is kneeling to him, we should just hope for the best..."

The four burly men who had stopped Yan Rufeng collapsed to the ground, their bodies going limp.

To avoid putting pressure on them, Yan Rufeng turned a blind eye and a deaf ear to this.

To Li Mo, Yan Rufeng said indifferently, "Patriarch Li, you need not blame yourself. Just get up and talk."

Just as Li Mo stood up, a silvery voice rang out.

"Young Master Yan, long time no see. Why have you just now come to see us?"

Yan Rufeng looked over and saw Li Xihan, smiling and running toward him with excitement.

"Miss Xihan, it’s been over a year since we last met, and your cultivation has improved!"

"Hmph!"

Li Xihan glanced at Jiayao in Yan Rufeng’s arms and pouted, "Young Master Yan, you truly forget past friends. You haven’t visited us in more than ten years!"

"What? More than ten years?"

"How is that possible? Only over a year has passed in the outside world."

To clear the doubt in his heart, Yan Rufeng looked towards Li Mo.

"Patriarch Li, is what Xihan says true?"

Li Mo bowed and said, "Emperor Yan, indeed more than ten years have passed here."

Yan Rufeng furrowed his brows and questioned himself, "Strange, the time discrepancy between this world and the outside world is tenfold. This is terrifying, but how did I not notice before?"

After a moment of thought, Yan Rufeng accepted it.

"Perhaps it’s because I’ve been in seclusion all along."

"Ah!"

From afar, a graceful woman in white clothes exclaimed, "Isn’t that Brother Rufeng?"

Following the voice, Yan Rufeng saw that the speaker was Xu Jiaojiao and was taken aback.

"Sister Jiaojiao?"

"Hehe!"

Xu Jiaojiao glanced at Jiayao in Yan Rufeng’s arms and laughed charmingly, "I was wondering where you’ve been all these years. So that’s the reason."

Xu Jiaojiao’s voice was as enchanting as ever.

With Xu Jiaojiao’s reminder.

"Swish swish-"

In an instant, thousands of eyes turned towards Jiayao in Yan Rufeng’s arms.

Who is she?

Everyone, including Li Mo, was left wondering.

The South Heavenly Gate was abuzz with discussions, bustling with noise.

"Why is Emperor Yan holding her?"

"Who is she to Emperor Yan?"

"Heh."

"It doesn’t matter who she is. Being held by Emperor Yan must be very fortunate, right?"

"Oooh~"

A graceful woman exclaimed, "I also want Emperor Yan to hold me."

In the crowd, a handsome man looked at her and whispered, "Junior Sister, with your looks, dreaming of being held like that by Emperor Yan is fantasy. How about Senior Brother just holds you instead?"

"Bah, Senior Brother, what do you mean by my looks? Where do I not compare to the girl in Emperor Yan’s arms?"

The woman spitefully rolled her eyes at her Senior Brother.

"You talk big but can’t back it up. Scram..."

...The discussions continued unabated...

"Ahem!"

Li Mo coughed lightly to signal an end to the chatter.

Only then did Yan Rufeng realize that all eyes were on Jiayao in his arms, and his head suddenly ached.

"Sister Jiaojiao, this is my disciple Jiayao. She has been severely injured and lost her cultivation."

"So, she is your disciple." Li Xihan was the first to relax and smile.

"Hehe!"

Xu Jiaojiao covered her face and laughed, "Brother Rufeng, I didn’t say anything. Why are you so tense?"

Ha!

Yan Rufeng smiled, "I’m here to trouble you with a task, Sister Jiaojiao."

Xu Jiaojiao glanced at Jiayao and sighed.

"Brother Rufeng, when you ask me to do something, there’s no need to be so formal. Just leave your disciple Jiayao to me. In a year, I’ll return to you a lively and cheerful disciple."

Xu Jiaojiao swiftly stepped towards Yan Rufeng and took Jiayao into her arms.

Before Yan Rufeng could react, Xu Jiaojiao, holding Jiayao, said coldly, "Brother Rufeng, ever since you brought us to this Azure Dragon Star, everyone has been waiting to ascend to the Immortal World. You disappeared for over ten years. If not for our stern master’s suppression, they would have torn this Azure Dragon Star apart long ago."

Hearing this, Li Mo said sternly, "Jiaojiao, don’t speak recklessly in front of Emperor Yan. It’s not as severe as you say."
