Immortal King Feng Wuya’s challenge had already been delivered.
The entire continent was in an uproar as a result.
However, as one of the main characters of this monumental event, the White-Robed Exalted Immortal hadn’t announced whether he was accepting the Immortal King’s challenge.
The ten top-rate exalted immortals of the Immortal King Palace searched for the White-Robed Exalted Immortal for ten whole days around the Leaping Wolf District, but they were unable to find him.
They couldn’t even find where the twenty thousand female victims were. It was quite predictable that the Immortal King would deploy forces to the Leaping Wolf District after such a huge event, so An Lin had hidden all of the women somewhere safe in advance.
Everyone’s impression of him was instantly further improved as this showed that he was taking responsibility for the victims he had rescued rather than just leaving them to fend for themselves.
At this moment, within the Spring Light Palace.
An Lin was sitting in a chair and sipping on some tea.
Yang Lingqian had personally brewed the tea for him, and she currently had a curious expression on her face. “Exalted Immortal An Lin, are you going to accept Immortal King Feng Wuya’s challenge?”
An Lin chuckled upon hearing this. “What? Didn’t you always say I was no match for Feng Wuya? Why do you suddenly think I stand a chance against him now?”
Yang Lingqian pursed her lips with a slightly awkward expression upon hearing this. “I’ve underestimated you in the past, but I know now that you do have the power to stand up to the Immortal King!
“Even though you don’t look like a person who is capable of defeating the Immortal King, I have faith in you… You might not even believe it when I say this, but you currently have the hopes of an entire continent on your shoulders…”
“Stop! Stop!” An Lin waved his hands and said, “I’m no savior, I’m just trying to do something very normal and mundane…”
“So rescuing two thousand of the Immortal King’s concubines is a mundane thing now?” Yang Lingqian asked.
An Lin: “…”
An Lin had no response to this, so he could only cough and change the subject. “Now that everything is in place, my plan of conquest can be truly set into motion!”
He could kill the Immortal King first before rescuing the concubines, but that would give them the impression that he was doing so more as an afterthought.
It would be much moving to them if he rescued them while the Immortal King was still alive as he would be risking his life to do.
Lines of text suddenly appeared on the blank pieces of paper two thousand three hundred concubines were holding in their hands—I’m back. Do you want to come with me? I can take you away from the Spring Light Palace to a paradise where you will have true freedom!
If you want to come with me, drip your blood essence onto this letter.
That’s right, An Lin had left traces of his divine intent on the letters!
All of the concubines’ hearts trembled as they stared at the text on the letters with scorching excitement in their eyes.
Should they stay in the Spring Light Palace and continue to be treated as Feng Wuya’s plaything, or should they take a risk and escape from this place with the White-Robed Exalted Immortal?
Their lives in the palace were filled with boundless darkness, but one man had suddenly appeared and lit up their worlds, striking all of them with a strong sense of yearning.
The White-Robed Exalted Immortal had already cemented himself in their minds following the battle within the Immortal King Palace. His feats at the Leaping Wolf Mansion had made his image even more vibrant in all of their hearts.
Every concubine here dreamed of a knight in shining armor rescuing them from this godforsaken place someday.
Now that this fairytale-like opportunity had been presented to them, how could their hearts not waver?
One drop of blood essence after another dripped onto the letters in their hands.
An Lin sat with his eyes closed, processing the information that was flowing into his mind, and he opened his eyes after a long while as a smile appeared on his face. “We’ve done it! Two thousand one hundred and sixty people have decided to escape from the Spring Light Palace with me!”
A vibrant smile appeared on Yang Lingqian’s face. “You’re wrong. Two thousand one hundred and sixty-one people want to escape from the Spring Light Palace with you.”
An Lin faltered slightly upon hearing this before coming to his senses and nodding with a slightly awkward expression at the sight of the enticing woman before him. “You’re right.”
A short while later, all of the women who had dripped their blood essence onto their respective letter saw another line of text appeared before their eyes—Gather at the White Jade Plaza of the Spring Light Palace at noon five days from now. I’ll get all of you out of here!
All of the concubines focused on three operative words here: “All of you”!
This implied that the White-Robed Exalted Immortal was also rescuing other concubines aside from themselves?
That made sense. After all, the White-Robed Exalted Immortal had told them that he was trying to free all oppressed and victimized women, so how could he just rescue one?
This was a bittersweet notion, which made all of the concubines both elated but also a little disappointed at the same time.
Their knight in shining armor was coming, but he was here for a bunch of women, not just them…
Sure enough, fairytales could not be replicated in real life after all.
Soon after that, another piece of news quickly swept through the entire continent.
The White-Robed Exalted Immortal accepted the Immortal King’s challenge and agreed to a fight to the death on the Immortal Slaying Platform at noon five days later!
This news sent the entire continent into an uproar again.
A true storm was about to hit.
Countless people began to gather at the Heavenly Mountain located to the east of Kun Lun City.
One powerful being after another began to fly into the air, heading toward that legendary Immortal Slaying Platform.
None of them wanted to miss out on this once-in-lifetime battle!
Elsewhere in Kun Lun City.
Yi Xi used the power of the Kun Lun Empire’s veins of the earth to refine an immortal pill, which he swallowed before tearing through space and disappearing on the spot.
Five days passed quite quickly.
On the Heavenly Mountain outside of Kun Lun City.
There were over a million powerful beings gathered.
All of them were either riding atop all types of powerful, ferocious beasts or standing atop all manners of flying artifacts.
One only needed to raise their head to see countless streams of light flying through the sky in a spectacular light show. This was probably the largest gathering of powerful beings this continent had ever seen!
The Heavenly Mountain was over a million feet tall and extended straight into the clouds.
At the summit of the Heavenly Mountain was a natural arena known as the Immortal Slaying Platform.
The Immortal Slaying Platform was five kilometers in radius with a faint, blue enchantment barrier around it that could prevent shockwaves from escaping into the outside world. If it weren’t for this natural barrier, none of the powerful beings would dare to spectate the upcoming battle from such close proximity.
Immortal King Feng Wuya was already standing within the enchantment barrier in a flowing white robe. His eyes were sharp and fierce, and he was already raring to go. He was going to crush his opponent in the most brutal way possible today.
The White-Robed Exalted Immortal hadn’t appeared yet, but everyone knew that he was definitely going to show up unless he was completely shameless. This was the honor of a super powerful being.
Over a million powerful beings were awaiting the arrival of the White-Robed Exalted Immortal!
Right at this moment, the Immortal King’s voice transmission talisman lit up.
Feng Wuya’s brows furrowed slightly, but he still connected the voice transmission.
“What is it?”
Yan Ji’s urgent voice sounded from within the voice transmission talisman.
“Immortal King, you’ve been cucked!!!”
Feng Wuya: “???”
