Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Nangong Xuan was thrilled upon hearing these words. This praise from the
Heavenly Lord was an extraordinary honor, one that even the head of the
Longevity Palace had never received.
Soon, the Heavenly Lord spoke again: “Stand up.”
“This disciple obeys the Heavenly Lord’s decree,” Nangong Xuan quickly stood up, her eyes lowered and demeanor docile.
“How much do you know about this Master of the Immortal Tomb?” the grand figure asked.
Nangong Xuan respectfully replied, “According to my knowledge, the Immortal Tomb symbolizes destruction and extinction, representing the end of all things. The more desolate and withered the Archean Eon Realm becomes, the more advantageous it is for the arrival of the Master of the Immortal Tomb. That’s why those people are causing horrifying destruction in various places in the Archean Eon Realm, seeking to plunge it into ruin.”
“What are your thoughts on this matter?” the Heavenly Lord inquired.
After pondering for a moment, Nangong Xuan said, “I believe that this being is not benevolent. If allowed to descend, it would be a catastrophe for the Archean Eon Realm.” She paused, “I seek guidance from the Heavenly Lord on what I should do.”
After a brief silence, the voice of the Longevity Heavenly Lord resounded, “The one named Lu Xuan is a disciple of an old acquaintance of mine. You must not offend him. If you encounter him in the outside world, you must address him as ‘Uncle Grandmaster’.”
Nangong Xuan was taken aback, but after a moment, she bowed and said, “Disciple obeys.”
“The assassination plan will inevitably fail. You may participate in the plan as intended, but there is no need for you to act. Keep an escape route ready and be prepared to leave at any moment.”
“Yes.”
Disciples of the Longevity Palace had deep faith in their overseers, and
Nangong Xuan followed the Heavenly Lord’s command unconditionally.
Since the Heavenly Lord said the assassination plan would fail, it was certain to fail. And since he instructed her to lay low, she would do just that.
“I grant you three decrees,” the grand figure raised a hand, and boundless light burst forth, spreading endless Dao principles, which coalesced into three decrees that merged into Nangong Xuan’s body.
“These three decrees can be used for different purposes. The first for executing power, the second for escape, and the third to conceal your fate from the Immortal Tomb space. Your actions and thoughts will not be scrutinized.”
“Disciple thanks the Heavenly Lord for this grace!” Nangong Xuan bowed deeply in gratitude.
“Stay concealed within the Immortal Tomb space. When I return, you will be allowed to stand by My side and witness the great Dao,” the grand figure spoke slowly.
Hearing this, Nangong Xuan’s mind raced with thoughts. The Heavenly Lord implied that He hadn’t returned yet, so what was He doing at the moment?
Without much thought, Nangong Xuan knew the Heavenly Lord was likely in the void, subduing a formidable enemy unseen in ages. This was why contact with the Longevity Palace had been lost.
Now that she could contact the Heavenly Lord, did it mean He was close to succeeding and would soon return?
Nangong Xuan could only imagine the level of power the Heavenly Lord would attain after subduing and refining this formidable enemy. And she would become a follower of this being, infiltrating the heart of the enemy.
With this thought, a lofty conviction surged in Nangong Xuan’s heart: “Disciple solemnly abides by the Heavenly Lord’s decree and is willing to face death without hesitation!”
In the Merpeople Nation.
Lu Xuan disconnected himself from the crystal skull. “Such a surprising development… Truly a twist of fate, and the mysteries of destiny are unfathomable.
Cheng Lingzhu looked bemused. While Lu Xuan was connected to the crystal skull, he had inadvertently broadcasted everything in the room.
Thus, Cheng Lingzhu witnessed the entire process of Lu Xuan deceiving the young woman.
When they were at the Ghost Mage Sect, they suspected that the revival of the Ancestral Magus wasn’t solely the sect’s doing, but someone else was orchestrating it from the shadows.
This matter was handed over to Sancai Academy for investigation, but not only did they fail to uncover anything, even He Yuanfeng encountered trouble. Someone had given the Academy’s headmaster the method of sacrificing Dao, intending to use him to destroy the fortune of the Confucian path.
Lu Xuan had no clue which power was secretly maneuvering these events. And now, a member of this organization had taken the initiative to contact him?
Lu Xuan looked suspicious, wondering if he was being manipulated. However, he wasn’t worried about it. Now that he had established a connection with the Immortal Tomb organization, he planned to use Nangong Xuan as an undercover agent for himself, and incidentally, lure out those who harbored ill intentions towards him.
In the Immortal Tomb space, the twelve members had gathered, including
Nangong Xuan
“Gong Gong, have you decided on the matter?” Xuan Ming asked.
“I agree to it,” Nangong Xuan replied. “The affairs at my sect have been arranged properly, and I am free to act for the next month.”
“Good,” Xuan Ming nodded slightly.
“How shall we find these two people?” asked Shebi Shi, who was usually quiet but now actively involved due to the importance of the thousand years of longevity.
“I have reliable information that in half a month, the ancient Demon Emperor City will emerge, and one of these two is a disciple of the Dushi Sword Sect,” Di Jiang stated. “Given the habits of the Dushi Sword Sect’s disciples, they will surely join the fray. The one named Lu Xuan is likely to be there too.”
“Indeed, I am aware of this as well,” Ju Mang nodded. “But even if we lure Lu
Xuan and Cheng Lingzhu, are you confident about subduing them? The Saintess of the Dushi Sword Sect is not easy to deal with.”
“I have my methods,” Shebi Shi was not worried.
“There is a large demon city near the ruins of the Demon Emperor City,” Tian
Wu added. “Disciples of the World -Passing Sword Sect travel the Cangyuan Realm openly, without concealing their tracks or deliberately engaging in ascetic practices. They experience the world and its splendors. The demon city is prosperous, and those two will surely visit. You can wait there, preparing in advance and ambushing them.”
“A demon city?” Shebi Shi’s eyes narrowed at the mention. “Then, there must be a large number of beings there…”
“What are you planning, Shebi Shi?” Zhu Rong suddenly asked.
“Nothing in particular, just a passing thought,” Shebi Shi shook his head. “It’s difficult to act in a place crowded with people.”
“Shebi Shi, you truly have a heart of compassion,” Yan Zi commented with a laugh. “I thought for the thousand years of longevity, even if it meant harming innocents, you would complete the task.”
“I am no saint or devout follower, but when the time comes, I might well do such a thing,” Shebi Shi replied indifferently.
“However, to ensure these two enter the game, we should actively release the news of the Demon Emperor City’s emergence, ” Xuan Ming added some details.
“Since everyone agrees, then Gong Gong and Shebi Shi will jointly undertake this task,” Emperor Jiang announced.
“Agreed.”
“Agreed.”
“Agreed.”
The vote was unanimous, and a jade slip appeared from the void. Xuan Ming caught it and handed it over to Nangong Xuan and Shebishi. After reading the contents, they signed their codenames and stored it in the Immortal Tomb space.
The hunting operation was now underway!
