Urban Undying Lord
Chapter 321 - 321 320 The Mysterious Person Behind the Scenes

321: Chapter 320: The Mysterious Person Behind the Scenes 321: Chapter 320: The Mysterious Person Behind the Scenes As Huang the Rotund slowly narrated, Ye Xuan listened quietly, his face showing no sign of anger.

Only the tapping of his fingers on the table, producing a continuous tapping sound, clearly proved that his heart was not as calm as it appeared on the surface.

“Alright, I understand,” Ye Xuan said calmly.

As Huang the Rotund looked at Ye Xuan’s undisturbed demeanor, he clenched his fists and reluctantly spoke, “Sir, now that you have returned, with your ability to move Heaven and Earth, you will surely be able to reconstruct the Netherworld and annihilate the entire Cultivation Alliance and those traitors.”

“Ha!”

Suddenly, Ye Xuan gave a faint smile.

With his hands clasped behind his back, he gazed into the Heavenly Vault and said, “There is no eternal dynasty in the world, nor is there an invincible power.

Since the Netherworld is no more, there’s no need for it to appear again.”

At this point, Ye Xuan’s voice paused, and the smile on his face disappeared; his voice turned somber as he spoke, “However, I would really like to know who gave the likes of Immortal Extinguishing and others the audacity to betray the Netherworld?”

Ye Xuan knew Immortal Extinguishing very well; he was a martial fanatic, not one to crave power excessively.

For him to betray the Netherworld, there was undoubtedly someone fomenting trouble behind the scenes.

And without having to think about it, Ye Xuan already knew that it must be the one controlling the Cultivation Alliance.

Moreover, Ye Xuan had a vague premonition that not only Immortal Extinguishing, but also Yuanxu Monk and the three group leaders knew about his ascension to the Immortal Realm.

Even if they were unwilling to submit to Huang the Rotund, they would certainly not go after him, because these people needed to leave themselves a way out.

Evidently, if these people dared to betray him, the mastermind could only be the one controlling the Cultivation Alliance.

And the one controlling the Cultivation Alliance must know him and be aware of his terror; otherwise, they would not have exterminated the Ye Family, let alone erase his history.

Yet, despite deep contemplation, Ye Xuan was unable to determine who this person was.

Before he had left the Human World, all of his enemies had been thoroughly exterminated by him—who could this person be?

As for the Ye Family in the Capital City, Ye Xuan felt no attachment whatsoever.

In this world, perhaps the only ones he was concerned about were his mother and Ye Ling’er.

As for the lives and deaths of other members of the Ye Family, they naturally would not cause a ripple in his emotion.

“Do you know who the leader of the Cultivation Alliance is?” Ye Xuan asked calmly.

“I do not!”

Huang the Rotund spoke with slight shame, “I have tried to investigate from many sources, but the one controlling the Cultivation Alliance is extremely mysterious.

He wears a golden mask every day, and no one knows his true identity.”

Huang the Rotund said this with a frown, “Moreover, this person was the first Cultivator to reach the Transcendance Tribulation Stage three hundred years ago, far surpassing Immortal Extinguishing.”

“Hmm.”

Receiving Huang the Rotund’s response, Ye Xuan nodded.

This made him even more curious about this person, but there was still no disturbance in Ye Xuan’s mind.

No matter who the opponent was, in Ye Xuan’s eyes, they were no more than ants, and their ultimate fate would be to die without a place to be buried.

In Ye Xuan’s original intent, his return to the Human World was solely due to the explosion of the Bloodthirsty Demon Sword.

He wanted to see for himself what had happened and also intended to take Huang the Rotund back to the Earth Immortal Realm for proper training.

But now, Ye Xuan had changed his mind, and a faint smile emerged at the corner of his mouth.

Yet, when his smile fell into Huang the Rotund’s eyes, it made him catch his breath.

But a look of wild delight flashed across his eyes because he knew that although Ye Xuan appeared calm, he was already enraged.

In Huang the Rotund’s understanding, if Ye Xuan became angry, it would naturally result in a Blood Sea Corpse Mountain; there had never been any exception to this.

“Huang the Rotund.”

“I am here!”

“Take my token and send a message to the world, tell them that I have returned.

I am very curious to see, after five hundred years have passed, how many members of the Netherworld still remain loyal to me.”

Ye Xuan casually threw a token to the corpulent man in yellow, who caught it excitedly, bowed deeply in gratitude, and swiftly made his way out of the realm.

The Netherworld Lord’s Order!

In this world, there was only one such token, and it was the exclusive symbol of Ye Xuan as the Netherworld Lord.

When he departed the Human World, he naturally carried this token with him.

All members of the Netherworld knew that to see the token was to see Ye Xuan himself, but after five hundred years, it was uncertain whether the Netherworld Lord’s Order still commanded the respect and authority it once had.

…

Cangmang Mountain!

Mountains stretched endlessly, with steep and imposing peaks piercing the Heavenly Vault.

Countless cultivators crossed through the void, while the pervasive spiritual energy wafted through the mountains.

This was the headquarters of the Cultivation Alliance, housing the strongest cultivators from the Human World and considered a sacred land for humanity.

Star Palace.

Wu Jue Xian sat in the prime seat, engrossed in an ancient tome, surrounded by a gently swirling aura of spiritual energy that inspired awe at a mere glance.

Over five hundred years, Wu Jue Xian had reached the Transcendence Tribulation Stage, becoming one of the most powerful cultivators among humans, revered and esteemed as a supreme being.

Eight principal disciples, sixteen generals, and thirty-two great vajras all stood below, each engrossed in researching their cultivation techniques.

Two exceptionally beautiful maidservants danced elegantly in the palace, with the music of an ancient zither playing, as if immersing everyone in an enchanted realm amid the rich spiritual energy.

“Master!”

Suddenly,

A jarring voice echoed from outside the palace.

Luo Feng burst into the Star Palace, prompting the two dancers to quickly retreat and piquing the curiosity of the onlookers.

It was known that Luo Feng was a man of strict decorum, a favored disciple of Wu Jue Xian.

Now, rushing into the Star Palace unannounced, it was clear he must have encountered some urgent matter.

Wu Jue Xian’s brow furrowed, but he did not voice any reproach.

“Feng’er, what has happened that you’re in such a panic?” Wu Jue Xian asked calmly.

Evidently, as a cultivator at the Transcendence Tribulation Stage, there was little in this world that could disturb him.

No matter the gravity of the situation, to him it was hardly worth mentioning.

“Master, I have found the…the corpulent yellow apprentice, but…” Luo Feng hesitated, struggling with how to explain what had happened to him.

“Hmm?”

At the mention of the corpulent yellow apprentice, Wu Jue Xian’s eyes narrowed slightly and he said, “Is he alive or dead?

Have you obtained the Heavenly Demon Great Method and the Bloodthirsty Demon Sword?”

“Master, the corpulent apprentice was rescued by someone.

He personally destroyed the Bloodthirsty Demon Sword, but the Heavenly Demon Great Method…I have acquired it.”

As Luo Feng spoke, he presented the Heavenly Demon Great Method, causing Wu Jue Xian’s expression to brighten.

He took it and began to turn the pages eagerly.

After many moments had passed, Wu Jue Xian carefully stored the Heavenly Demon Great Method and murmured to himself, “Indeed, this is the Heavenly Demon Great Method; the path of its cultivation is exceedingly mystical.

If the corpulent apprentice had possessed enough talent, this method alone would have enabled him to reach the Transcendence Tribulation Stage.”
