Chapter 382 - 382 381 The Grand Event Begins 4th Update

382: Chapter 381 The Grand Event Begins (4th Update) 382: Chapter 381 The Grand Event Begins (4th Update) Ye Xuan’s eyes narrowed slightly.

As he beckoned with his hand, the Reverse Immortal Array Map quietly appeared in his grasp, his gaze towards King Chu Jiang showing a hint of sinister intent.

Ye Xuan was someone who detested trouble, yet when he encountered trouble, he wouldn’t avoid it but would rather resolve it.

Since he had killed someone from the Underworld, King Chu Jiang would certainly not let things slide, so a confrontation was inevitable.

“Do you intend to strike at me?” King Chu Jiang asked.

King Chu Jiang could fully feel that Ye Xuan held no fear towards him.

When he saw the Reverse Immortal Array Map appear in Ye Xuan’s hands, his eyes slightly condensed, and a describable sense of fear rose in his heart.

No, there’s something wrong with this person!

King Chu Jiang’s expression shifted subtly.

He scrutinized Ye Xuan carefully but could not see through Ye Xuan’s true form.

However, King Chu Jiang always trusted his instincts and his judgment.

Hadn’t it been said that one shouldn’t undertake tasks that they’re not prepared for?

It was clear that since the opposition dared to confront him, a Daluo Golden Immortal, without fear, there must be extremely terrifying means at his disposal.

“Daoist, you’ve killed someone from my Underworld; shouldn’t you provide some explanation?” King Chu Jiang’s aura receded.

He didn’t want to start a fight with Ye Xuan—not because he was afraid of Ye Xuan, but because they were in the Heavenly Court, and he didn’t know who Ye Xuan was.

Starting a fight without cause would surely stir up trouble.

The death of a minor Ghost King wasn’t significant in King Chu Jiang’s eyes.

However, letting Ye Xuan leave just like that would impact the reputation of the Underworld, which was why King Chu Jiang had appeared here.

Seeing that King Chu Jiang had no intention to attack, Ye Xuan naturally didn’t want to start a fight either.

He also knew he was at fault for killing someone from the Underworld.

Moreover, since King Chu Jiang, the Underworld Yama and a Daluo Golden Immortal was giving him a way out, he felt compelled to respect that.

“The minor Ghost King disturbed my cultivation; his death was warranted.

Here’s a Nine Revolutions Mystic Immortal Pill as compensation to the Underworld.”

As he spoke, Ye Xuan threw a bottle of elixir, which King Chu Jiang casually caught.

After giving Ye Xuan a deep look, King Chu Jiang tossed the elixir to the Yin Yang Judge and said, “All of you, withdraw.

Remember, do not stir up trouble in the Heavenly Court next time.

After all, this is not our native Underworld.”

“We shall heed Yama’s teachings,” said the Yin Yang Judge and the others as they bowed and retired to the Yama Arena.

However, confusion lingered in the eyes of the Underworld beings.

They didn’t understand why the usually cold and ruthless King Chu Jiang hadn’t attacked such a minor immortal.

In fact, what the Yin Yang Judge and the others didn’t realize was that the Heavenly Court’s grand assembly was teeming with hidden dragons and crouching tigers.

Countless Daluo Golden Immortals and powers from all sides were gathered, and as one of the Ten Palaces Yamas, King Chu Jiang naturally didn’t want to start a fight over the death of a Ghost King.

Western Lingshan, Chan Sect, Heavenly Court Group of Immortals, Underworld forces—the Heavenly Court was far too complex.

As the saying goes, “Touching one part affects the whole,” and that was King Chu Jiang’s concern.

As the Yin Yang Judge and others withdrew, King Chu Jiang sized up Ye Xuan, his voice cold, “Luotian Golden Immortal, not an unknown figure in this Heavenly Court, may I know your esteemed name?”

Unfortunately, Ye Xuan didn’t respond to King Chu Jiang’s inquiry.

With a step, he vanished into thin air, further darkening King Chu Jiang’s expression.

The Luotian Golden Light shimmered slightly, but ultimately, he couldn’t stop Ye Xuan.

“Audacious beyond measure, utterly unbridled, even in the face of a Daluo Golden Immortal like me, showing no fear—never have I heard of such a figure in all Three Realms.

Who exactly is this person?” King Chu Jiang’s eyes filled with doubt, his voice somewhat low.

…

Weiyang Palace!

Ye Xuan’s former Daoist arena, now chilly and deserted, its broken palace gates unrepaired—a stark testament to how Ye Xuan, once the Emperor Dongji, had indeed become a relic of the past.

Standing before Weiyang Palace, Ye Xuan’s expression was serene, unsurprised by the desolation of Weiyang Palace, and along the way, he had also discovered something.

All the Demon Kings who had once followed him had been stripped of their positions by the Jade Emperor.

If not for the fact that the likes of the Heavenly Peng King were not to be trifled with, the Jade Emperor might have even struck at them, seeking to eradicate those loyal to Ye Xuan.

Three hundred years ago, following his battle with Yu Ding, numerous Demon Kings descended to Huaguo Mountain once again, and the whereabouts of the Heavenly Peng King became unknown.

Aside from individuals such as Zhao Gongming, Ye Xuan no longer recognized anyone in the Heavenly Court.

Suddenly turning around, Ye Xuan drifted away.

He did not care about so-called renown; what had been lost must be retrieved by his own hands, and this would not take long.

…

Time flowed swiftly, like an arrow.

In the eyes of an Immortal, three years was but a momentary flick.

During these three years, countless Immortals had visited Ziwei Palace to meet Emperor Ziwei, who received them at the door.

However, Ye Xuan never appeared, clearly having no desire to interact with these visitors.

Throughout these years, Ye Xuan secluded himself in the Star Palace.

Even Emperor Ziwei rarely saw him and did not know what his esteemed younger brother was up to.

Yet as three years passed, the grand assembly of the Heavenly Court was finally set to begin.

Emperor Ziwei proceeded to the Star Palace, calling Ye Xuan out from his isolation to join him at Lingxiao Palace for the event.

Thunderous rumbles!

The doors of the Star Palace opened, and Ye Xuan walked out leisurely.

Yet when Emperor Ziwei saw Ye Xuan, his expression subtly changed, showing a look of resignation.

Ye Xuan, clad in black, sheltered by Luotian Golden Light, held the Reverse Immortal Array Map in his hands, gently smiling at Emperor Ziwei.

“This time at the Heavenly Court’s grand assembly, I ask you, my brother, to clearly define our boundaries,” Ye Xuan stated calmly.

“My wise brother, you…”

Looking at the Reverse Immortal Array Map in Ye Xuan’s hands, Emperor Ziwei could tell what he was planning but was utterly confused about who in the Heavenly Court could be Ye Xuan’s enemy, needing such drastic measures?

“Dear brother, heed my advice.

Even if your enemy at the Heavenly Court’s grand assembly is a Daluo Golden Immortal, you should still exercise restraint for now.

Wait until the assembly is over; I will definitely support you,” Emperor Ziwei earnestly said.

Ye Xuan simply smiled faintly, neither agreeing nor objecting, which made Emperor Ziwei mistakenly believe that Ye Xuan had accepted his advice, thus easing his worries.

Both of them ascended on golden clouds, heading straight for Lingxiao Palace.

Meanwhile, various forces also made their way there, bustling the Heavenly Court.

…

Dou Niu Palace, Lingxiao Palace.

The place was festively decorated, clouded with Immortal Clouds.

Rows of white jade tables filled the hall, laden with Jade Liquid, Spirit Fruit, and immortal peaches, with numerous Immortals already seated.

Gold Star Taibai wandered through Lingxiao Palace with a smile on his face, though a hint of concern lingered in his eyes as he seemed uneasy about the Jade Emperor’s upcoming marriage to Guanghan Fairy.

“South Sea Guanyin Bodhisattva has arrived.”

“Emperor Zhenwu has arrived.”

“Guangcheng Real Person has arrived.”
