Chapter 270: 236 Master's Master?_1
Countless paths of the Great Dao fell ceaselessly.
Today, neither the White Tiger Immortal King nor the Golden Lion Immortal King stood guard at the gate.
They had been summoned by Yun Xi to a vast study.
Several Immortal Kings, at this very moment, were desperately flipping through books.
“The item Master is looking for is too difficult to find…”
“Life Imprint… it’s connected to the Saint Path above, how can we search for it?”
The Golden Lion King expressed some confusion.
“I’ve only ever brewed monkey wine for Master, I’ve never read a book in my life… this is so difficult for the monkey.”
The Macaque Immortal King was so stressed that quite a few hairs on his head had been torn out!
Only the White Tiger Immortal King kept his cool and continued the search!
He went to the Lower World with Master himself.
So, he knew that what Master wanted them to find must be extremely important!
After all, that being in the Lower World seemed to command even Master’s respect.
“Hmm?”
Suddenly, the White Tiger Immortal King stumbled upon a passage!
“I’ve found it!”
He was overjoyed!
He quickly took the book and left the study,
Heading towards the grand hall.
At this moment, inside the grand hall.
Yun Xi gazed at the two Qicai Hongdie in her hand, seemingly lost in a daze.
“So beautiful…”
She blinked her large eyes, which under her long eyelashes, held a hint of yearning.
To eat barbecued meat…
The flavor, the feeling, she really wanted to experience it once more!
But that was the Great Demon King!
She felt fear creeping in once again.
“Qicai Hongdie butterflies, even in the Yang Realm, are extremely rare and can evolve into mythic creatures… He must certainly be the Great Demon King from the Yang Realm!”
“But… why would he give such precious things to me??”
“He also left his Life Imprint on me!”
“It’s too terrifying.”
The more she pondered, the less she could understand.
And the more she thought, the tantalizing image of barbecued meat reappeared in her mind…
Wrapped in fresh lettuce…
Gurgle, gurgle.
She actually felt her stomach grumble!
Thankfully, there was no one around, or she would have died of embarrassment!
“Master,”
At that moment, the voice of the White Tiger Immortal King echoed from outside.
“Come in.”
Yun Xi sat up straight.
The White Tiger Immortal King approached and respectfully said:
“This book contains records on Life Imprints!”
“Oh?”
Yun Xi’s eyes flickered, and with a wave of her hand, the book fell into her hands.
“Life Contract!”
“By obtaining someone else’s Life Imprint, one can make them their Fate Slave!”
“The life and death of the Fate Slave hinge on a single thought of the Master, condemned to slavery this life and for all generations!”
“Note: The Life Contract involves great karma; since the Master essentially strips away the slave’s life, it’s a must to grant the slave another life, or else divine retribution is certain!”
After she finished reading the record in the book.
Yun Xi stiffened, and the book fell to the floor.
“It’s over…”
“Wuu, he used a Life Contract on me!”
“He has deprived me of my life, these butterflies… they must be the life he has granted me, creatures to offset the karma!”
At this moment, she understood everything.
It’s over, I’ve… become his Fate Slave??
My life and death are at his single thought!
Tears suddenly filled Yun Xi’s large eyes.
She was so frightened that she was about to cry!
The White Tiger Immortal King, witnessing this scene, was shocked. What on earth had happened to make the Master so afraid??
“Master…” he ventured to ask.
“Leave me,” said Yun Xi, raising her eyes filled with grievance, and added:
“Dispatch someone to keep an eye on the world where Li Fan resides, report any abnormalities to me the instant they occur… from now on, he is… he is my Master.”
She wiped away a tear!
She cried.
Though very unwillingly.
But she had to accept reality!
The life of a Fate Slave is at the Master’s whim.
If something happens to the Master, the Fate Slave will also perish.
Thus, she must keep a close watch on Li Fan!
Upon hearing this, the White Tiger Immortal King was greatly shocked.
What?!
His own Master now had another master??
Had Li Fan become the Master’s master??
At this moment, he trembled.
The young man in the Heavenly Realm who enjoyed barbecues, just what level of deity was he…
“As you command!”
He took a deep breath, voiced his acknowledgment, and then turned to leave.
He stepped out of the grand hall.
“Grandfather, how is it? Is Master feeling any better?” Sun Junior True Monarch approached and inquired.
But the White Tiger Immortal King’s face was etched with seriousness!
“Return to our clan immediately.”
“Send someone at once to obey the commands from the Heavenly Realm!”
“From today forward, every command issued from that small mountain village is an Edict that everyone in the White Tiger Immortal Nation must follow!”
His aged voice carried an extreme gravity!
Sun Junior True Monarch paused for a moment and said,
“Grandfather, this…”
Did this mean that the White Tiger Immortal Nation was to fully comply with commands from that small mountain village?!
“It’s Master’s order!”
The White Tiger Immortal King looked at him sternly and said in a low voice:
“You must carry out this task… Be aware that even our Master now obeys the lord of that mountain village!”
Upon hearing this, Sun Junior True Monarch was also greatly shocked!
This…
Didn’t this imply that the lord of the mountain village was almost the Master’s master?
What status… what stature!
He suddenly understood!
“At once, Shao Yang will get it done!”
He spoke with gravity!
And turned to leave.
“Wait!”
At this moment, the White Tiger Immortal King suddenly thought of something else.
“Hmm?”
Sun Junior True Monarch turned his head back.
“Right, that Bai Xiaoqing… Are her clansmen also within the Heavenly Realm?”
The White Tiger Immortal King asked.
Sun Junior True Monarch nodded, saying,
“Her lineage is all within the Heavenly Realm!”
The White Tiger Immortal King’s eyes beamed with joy, as he excitedly said, “Excellent!”
“When you return to the clan, immediately seek out the person closest to Bai Xiaoqing, and then… by my edict, have them assume the throne of the White Tiger Immortal Nation and the title of clan emperor!”
Upon hearing this, even Sun Junior True Monarch was shocked!
What was this situation…
It was well known that the White Tiger Immortal King himself was the ruler of the Immortal Kingdom, the emperor of the White Tiger Clan!
The White Tiger Immortal King was actually abdicating his position, offering it to a relative of Bai Xiaoqing??
Could it be that this person carried such significant importance?
“Grandfather, this matter… I’m afraid it may cause an uproar across the nation!”
His expression was complex, after all, Bai Xiaoqing’s lineage was but a branch from the Lower World, and her father wasn’t even an Immortal!
What made them worthy to command respect?
But the White Tiger Immortal King simply waved his hand, handing over a token, and said with ironclad determination,
“No matter who dares to defy, kill them.”
“Even if the White Tiger Immortal Nation is left desolate, we must install Bai Xiaoqing’s lineage on the throne of the Tiger Emperor at all costs, sparing no resources!”
Even if the White Tiger Immortal Nation was left desolate, he would not hesitate!
What resolute determination was this!?
Sun Junior True Monarch trembled, at that moment, he truly trembled.
“Is it worth it?”
He couldn’t help but ask.
In response, the face of the White Tiger Immortal King showed a trace of self-mockery as he said,
“Don’t ask whether it’s worth it. The emperor’s position, perhaps, will be disdained by her!”
He well knew that Bai Xiaoqing was a pet who could nestle in the embrace of that person!
And now, his own master seemed… ready to acknowledge that person as their master.
Bai Xiaoqing’s status may well catch up to his own master’s soon??
Under such circumstances, if he didn’t firmly grasp onto such thick thighs, the White Tiger Immortal King feared that he would have been kicked in the head by a donkey!
Upon hearing this, Sun Junior True Monarch dared not say more, and respectfully accepted the token, then turned and left!
…
In the grand hall of Qingxuan Immortal City.
Ao Wushuang wiped the cold sweat from his face.
He had finally finished recounting the process.
Lin Yun’s face became contemplative!
A black dog was chasing a flock of wolves and hunting a chubby man?
Even an Immortal General wielding a nearly Immortal-level artifact was killed?!
This meant… that area must have the presence of an Immortal-level being!
Could it be that an Immortal-level dog had appeared?!
“Did you know in advance that there would be trouble?”
Lin Yun suddenly transmitted a message to the Immortal General Wang Xiao beside him!
Previously, Wang Xiao had seemed fearful and therefore hadn’t taken the initiative to strike!
Wang Xiao, hearing this, hurriedly transmitted back,
“Great Elder, it’s not that Wang Xiao was not making an effort… but this Ao Wushuang really brings bad luck!”
“He… he attracts misfortune. Whoever goes with him ends up being carried out horizontally, and there’s even a chance they won’t return, yet he himself always comes back unharmed!”
This time, Lin Ting and the other Immortal Generals met their doom again, and he was even more certain of it.
Ao Wushuang, this walking disaster, was too much trouble!
Hearing this, even Lin Yun was taken aback, feeling a chill in his heart.
Could he really be a harbinger of pestilence?
After all, even the mighty Immortal Generals like Lin Ting had died, but Ao Wushuang, just a mere Taiyi Golden Immortal, had managed to return…
He found it uncanny!
He couldn’t help but probe Ao Wushuang saying,
“Do you have any suggestions regarding this matter now?”
Ao Wushuang, hearing this, immediately put on a fawning face and said,
“Great Elder, I suggest that you personally lead a team to strike. If you take action, you will surely pacify that stretch of the Great Wilderness!”
Hearing this response, Lin Yun nearly tumbled from his chair.
Damn, singled out by the harbinger of disaster??
He really wanted to say, are you wishing for my death?
He immediately felt that the situation had escalated seriously!
Such an uncanny event… it seems I must report to the Immortal Monarch immediately!
“Wait here for me, as for this matter… let the Immortal Monarch handle it!”
He wiped the cold sweat from his temples and turned to contact Qingxuan Immortal Monarch.
After he left, Wang Xiao excitedly stood up and grasped Ao Wushuang’s hand firmly.
“Immortal General, what, what’s happening??”
The sudden warmth left Ao Wushuang somewhat at a loss.
“Don’t, don’t call me general, Lord Ao, next time you go somewhere, let this brother know in advance so I can avoid you!”
“I beg you!”
Wang Xiao, the Immortal General, was completely serious!
Ao Wushuang: “…”
…
Soon after.
Outside of Qingxuan Immortal City.
The aura of an Immortal descended!
An Immortal Monarch floated down gracefully!
It was a man of heroic bearing, exuding a subtle air of superiority and pride!
“We welcome the Immortal Monarch!”
The Great Elder led the others out to greet him!
This person was none other than Qingxuan Immortal Monarch!
“What’s the urgency?”
Qingxuan Immortal Monarch asked indifferently.
Lin Yun immediately relayed everything that had happened.
“Oh? A black dog?”
Qingxuan Immortal Monarch let out a cold laugh, saying,
“Perhaps it’s one of those ferocious beasts from the Great Wilderness that has changed its form. If captured to serve as a mount, it would not be bad…”
He looked towards Ao Wushuang and said,
“Lead the way.”
Ao Wushuang instantly became incredibly excited and said,
“Immortal Monarch, please follow me!”
This was an Immortal Monarch-level figure, he was having contact with such a person for the first time in his life!
As long as he could cling to this powerful figure, he was set!
…
