The White Emperor has broken through to the peak-stage of the immortal emperor realm, no one in the Skymist Immortal Empire was capable of contending against him. This battle might even cause the power level of the entire Skymist Immortal Empire to decline. Why did the Skymist Immortal Emperor want to destroy the Evergreen Immortal Empire so badly? It was merely because of benefits. But if in pursuit of such benefits caused his own empire to be destroyed, even if he annihilated the Evergreen Immortal Empire, he wouldn't be the one having the last laugh.
Don't take the alliance between these powers seriously. Now, the immortal realms are in a state of unprecedented chaos and each major power was scheming and plotting to get ahead. Alliances could be dissolved in the blink of an eye. If his Skymist Immortal Empire really declined, the next immortal empire to be destroyed might very well be it.
"Now you want to retreat to get the White Emperor to stop? After you return and things stabilize, you want to invade my empire again?" The Evergreen Immortal Emperor coldly spoke. "Everything has long been destined. Since you already took the step to show your commitment in destroying my Evergreen Immortal Empire. Let things escalate up then, we won't stop until one of us dies. In addition, I will get the White Emperor to capture the members of your clan. If any of my people have any casualties, they shall perish together."
As the sound of his voice faded, the immortal sense of the Evergreen Immortal Emperor dissipated. The anger of the Skymist Immortal Emperor towered up into the sky.
The other immortal emperors exchanged glances of dismay. This time, they have pushed the Evergreen Immortal Emperor too much. His daughter, Evergreen Qing`er, must have returned and was prepared for death. However, she might have been forcefully imprisoned by the Evergreen Immortal Emperor. He was already determined to spare no expense to wage war. This point, from him sending the White Emperor out to deal with the Skymist Immortal Empire, we can already see that Evergreen is prepared for a situation where both the fish dies and the net breaks.
"Everyone, let's hasten and attack the imperial palace of the Evergreen Immortal Empire. We must capture Evergreen Qing`er and kill Evergreen himself to prevent all sources of future trouble. After that, we will use Evergreen Qing`er to threaten Qin Wentian, forcing him to show himself." The Skymist Immortal Emperor spoke.
Everyone murmured when they heard that, not directly replying to him. This caused the heart of the Skymist Immortal Emperor to sink. "Why is no one talking?"
"Evergreen has already decided to make sure both the net breaks and the fish dies. You should have heard his words earlier. If we fail to kill him, we will have to suffer the acts of revenge jointly by him and the White Emperor. Our descendants will definitely be annihilated. In order to protect them, shouldn't we reconsider our plans? Let's wait for all the other emperors to return from the City of Ancient Emperors before we proceed with destroying the Evergreen Immortal Empire. At that time, we can capture Evergreen easily and force the White Emperor to show himself. We have to kill them both or there would be endless trouble." An immortal emperor spoke.
"That's right. Evergreen has already gone crazy. We won't join in for now. Everyone better make sure your preparations are done. We have to kill Qin Wentian eventually as well. But I didn't expect that Evergreen would go crazy for the sake of a daughter. Why doesn't he just simply hand over Qin Wentian?" Another immortal emperor coldly asked. Their purpose was different from the Skymist Immortal Emperor. They only wanted to kill Qin Wentian. And now, since they had no confidence to crush the Evergreen Immortal Empire completely, it's best that they didn't push the Evergreen Immortal Emperor past his final line of sanity.
Everyone had their own plots and plans.
"Maybe Qin Wentian still has no idea about this. I will send someone to the City of Ancient Emperors to find out more. If Qin Wentian doesn't know about this, I will tell my man to convey that the Evergreen Immortal Empire is already surrounded and Evergreen Qing`er might die anytime. I don't believe he would still not come out after that. If he really doesn't come, we will inform Evergreen about this. If he knew that his son-in-law acts like this, I believe Evergreen wouldn't fight for this son-in-law any longer."
"That's right, in that case, I will bid farewell first. Everyone, let's keep in contact." The Paragon Sword Emperor instantly stepped out and retreated with a flash. The Taihua Immortal Emperor similarly bid his farewell and left with great speed.
Everyone naturally understood what they were worried about. Their empires were also located in the eastern regions. Since the White Emperor could attack the Skymist Immortal Empire, he could also easily attack their territories.
"Bastards!" The Skymist Immortal Emperor cursed in his heart, his eyes turning red. Nobody cared about his suggestion to immediately attack the Evergreen Immortal Empire. Everyone only cared about their own territories. If he attacked alone, the others might not reinforce him. To them, it would be best if both the Evergreen and Skymist Immortal Empires fell.
After several days, a huge commotion shook the eastern regions, as everyone in the immortal realms focused their attention there.
The White Emperor entered the peak-stage and the Skymist Immortal Empire was destroyed in the span of a single day. Their capital was razed to the ground, with countless dead and even more injured. It was unknown how many experts fell in the battle, and there were even immortal emperors who died. The powerful Skymist Immortal Empire declined so overwhelmingly much in the span of a single day. Only those experts out there tempering themselves and the Skymist Immortal Emperor, as well as a few other more powerful ones, managed to escape this calamity.
When this news circulated out, many people felt incomparably shocked. Was this the fury of the Evergreen Immortal Empire? The Skymist Immortal Empire formed an alliance to surround the Evergreen Immortal Empire and they suffered the most terrible consequences for it.
However after that, the White Emperor vanished completely, there were no other movements from him. Everyone could easily guess his intentions. The White Emperor would be in the shadows, striking fear in the hearts of the Paragon Sword Sect and the Taihua Immortal Dynasty. They wouldn't dare to attack the Evergreen Immortal Empire any more. But, if the White Emperor somehow dies, they would definitely continue to collaborate with the Skymist Immortal Empire and spared no expense to attack the Evergreen Immortal Empire.
What made people surprised was that the Skymist Immortal Emperor didn't do much. He didn't directly seek revenge. Everyone mused at how patient he was, even able to endure such a thing. However, they also understood that the Skymist Immortal Emperor couldn't help but do this. If they gathered their remnant forces and fought against the Evergreen Immortal Emperor now, the ones laughing at the end would definitely be the other major powers. Hence, no matter how much hatred he had, he still could only choose to endure.
And at the same time, inside the emperor dimension of the City of Ancient Emperors, many immortal emperors learned about this and quite a lot of them chose to exit the city. The people who did so were those who wanted to kill Qin Wentian. For example, the emperors from the Senluo Immortal Empire, Phoeroc Race, and the other demonic races.
And as for those major powers close to Qin Wentian and the Evergreen Immortal Empire, they also paid attention to this matter. Their emperors also decided to leave the City of Ancient Emperors and headed to the eastern regions. This time around, the vast majority of powerful experts in the immortal realms, all gathered in the eastern regions.
Given that such a large-scale matter occurred, news started circulating around the immortal-king level dimension of the City of Ancient Emperors. All the experts learned about this, with the exception of Qin Wentian. Qin Wentian was still cultivating and had no idea.
At this moment, at the ancient peak Qin Wentian was at, Jun Mengchen and the others were below the mountain. They glanced up at Qin Wentian, hesitation was plain in their hearts, struggling to tell him of this matter or not. If they told him, it was unknown how many immortal emperors there were now out there waiting for him. If Qin Wentian went, he definitely would die.
"Qin Wentian!" At this moment, a figure flew over from afar. He stood arrogantly in the air, staring at the cultivating Qin Wentian as he shouted out. The space trembled, the intensity of the shout jolted Qin Wentian awake. He opened his eyes as coldness flashed within, staring at the man who just appeared.
In the City of Ancient Emperors, there were actually people who dared to disrupt his cultivation?
"Qin Wentian, the Evergreen Immortal Empire is facing a calamity because of you. Your fiancee, Evergreen Qing`er, headed back there in your stead, wanting to die for you but to think that you are still peacefully cultivating here. I'm truly impressed with how stoic you are." That person coldly laughed. This caused Qin Wentian's eyes to gleam with sharpness. He moved with the speed of lightning, that person wanted to retreat but his movements were halted with a glance from Qin Wentian, causing him to sink within an illusion.
"BOOM!" A giant hand grabbed hold of that person, causing him to cough out blood from the impact.
"Qin Wentian, I came with good intentions to tell you. What do you mean by this?" That person cursed in rage. Qin Wentian's expression was terrifyingly cold. "Speak clearly."
"Don't you know? Now, the entire immortal realms are in chaos. This is especially so for the eastern regions. All the major powers from all around have surrounded the Evergreen Immortal Empire, wanting to force the Evergreen Immortal Emperor to hand over Evergreen Qing`er. You should know very clearly who their true target is. Right now, many of the immortal and demon emperors have exited the City of Ancient Emperors and have arrived at the Evergreen Immortal Empire. In order to protect you, Evergreen Qing`er wanted to hide this from you. It can be said that she's truly sentimental."
That person slowly spoke, only to see numerous figures speeding over here at this moment. The people from Matriarch Ji's Sect, the Southern Phoenix Clan, and Jun Mengchen. All of their expressions were unsightly. Did they still fail to hide this from him after all? The enemy actually sent someone here to inform Qin Wentian directly. They clearly wanted Qin Wentian to show up.
"Mengchen." Qin Wentian turned and stared at Jun Mengchen. Jun Mengchen lowered his head and didn't say anything.
"Yunxi." Qin Wentian turned to Nanfeng Yunxi after he saw Jun Mengchen lowering his head. Nanfeng Yunxi bit her lips but she didn't say anything either. Qin Wentian instantly understood in his heart. He also knew that out of everyone here, he was the only one who didn't know about this.
"You guys are so foolish, you all actually kept this from me?" A low growling sound rang out from Qin Wentian. He instantly understood what was going on.
"Qing`er didn't want you to go there and die. Hence, she told us all not to let you know about this. She wished to protect you." Nanfeng Yunxi finally spoke, she still didn't hope for Qin Wentian to go. She knew that once he went over, although the Evergreen Immortal Empire might not be eradicated, Qin Wentian would definitely die for sure.
This was a path of death, waiting for Qin Wentian to step upon.
"Qing`er, silly lass..." Qing`er's beautiful face appeared in his mind. He felt pain in his heart as he spoke, "Could it be that she doesn't understand, as long as she is alive, I would definitely show up. How can she not know this…? This must mean that when she left, she was already prepared to die. She's going to her death!"
The hearts of everyone trembled. The people of Matriarch Ji's sect sighed. To think that the emotions between the two of them were so deep, capable of seeing the thoughts of each other. Qin Wentian immediately knew that Qing`er was going there to die.
"Qin Wentian. Before junior sister Qing`er left, she told us not to tell you this. She said if you died, she wouldn't live alone in this world any longer. Since this is the case, why not she take your place. She asked us this question. Does she want us to watch both of you die meaninglessly, or allow her to use her life to protect the man whom she loves. She wants you to survive and take revenge for her in the future." Immortal Jun Yi sighed, causing the pain in Qin Wentian's heart to intensify.
"Qing`er." Qin Wentian's sorrow was boundless. He howled in rage as countless strands of sword intent gushed forth. The expert who came here to convey the message trembled as his expression changed drastically. A moment later, his body was torn to shreds by the billowing strands of sword intent!
