CHAPTER 1242: CHAPTER 1239: UNDYING PAVILION CHIEF

"There are messages from the Void Sect and Mystical Hall saying that certain creatures from the Forbidden Lands in the Lower Realm are taking action."

"If necessary, one of us must go to the Lower Realm to find Emperor Ye."

"Of course, our true selves absolutely cannot descend to the Lower Realm; otherwise, the Heavenly Dao Suppression will lead to our demise."

Nangong Bai said gravely.

Having spoken.

Nangong Bai looked towards the couple Tan Xiaolu and Zhou Xuanlin.

Three seconds of silence filled the air.

"I’ll go!"

Almost at the same time, the three of them spoke in unison.

Tan Xiaolu immediately glared at Zhou Xuanlin.

Yet Zhou Xuanlin, who should have feared Tan Xiaolu, showed a determined look at this moment: "Wife, you know I can yield to you on anything, but not when it comes to Emperor Ye."

Tan Xiaolu snorted lightly, turning her head to Nangong Bai.

Nangong Bai shook his head and said, "Old Zhou, your plan with Ning Shenji is still in the implementation stage; I should go."

Zhou Xuanlin immediately cast a disdainful look and said irritably, "You just said we are not sending our true selves to the Lower Realm, just avatars, and it won’t affect the plan’s implementation."

Tan Xiaolu also shot a look at Nangong Bai as if looking at an idiot, and pouted, "Apart from being able to swing your saber at a few people, you really don’t have much brainpower. If you go to the Lower Realm, it would be of no use to Emperor Ye."

Nangong Bai chuckled coldly and retorted, "Aren’t you the same?"

Tan Xiaolu immediately emanated a sinister aura, coldly looking at Nangong Bai, and said in a chilling voice, "Let’s fight."

Nangong Bai placed his right hand on the Black Sky Blade at his waist and said indifferently, "Do you think I am afraid of you?"

Zhou Xuanlin, standing beside them, felt a headache coming, muttering, "I think neither of you have much brainpower..."

"What did you say?!"

Nangong Bai and Tan Xiaolu simultaneously drew their blades, glaring at Zhou Xuanlin with killing intent.

Zhou Xuanlin immediately shrank his head, responding irritably, "Isn’t that the truth?"

"Still talking!?"

Tan Xiaolu raised her willow-like eyebrows.

Zhou Xuanlin dared not say another word.

Nangong Bai remained silent.

The three didn’t come to any conclusion.

"Let me go."

At this moment, a low hoarse voice suddenly spoke from the side.

The three of them looked over, all showing a hint of surprise.

"The chief of the Undying Pavilion — Qi Changsheng."

A towering man clad in a white robe and with white hair appeared. Not a trace of aura emanated from him.

Even when he appeared here, Nangong Bai, Zhou Xuanlin, and Tan Xiaolu did not notice immediately.

Upon a closer look, one would find that the chief of the Undying Pavilion, Qi Changsheng, had an unusually pale skin tone.

One might even say it was deathly pale.

It grew more eerie the more one looked at it.

"Although your plan seems successful for the time being, the Double Emperors will soon react. The urgent matter is to prepare for their counterattack."

Qi Changsheng, with his sleeves folded and an elegant demeanor, slowly spoke with a hoarse and deep voice.

"That only shows you don’t know the core of the plan," Zhou Xuanlin said with a smile.

"That’s not important. You don’t need to argue over whose avatar descends to the Lower Realm because my avatar is already there." Qi Changsheng slowly said.

At these words, Zhou Xuanlin, Tan Xiaolu, and Nangong Bai all frowned.

"Don’t ask why, just because, besides Emperor Ye, no one can kill me."

Qi Changsheng’s tone remained calm, as if discussing an ordinary thing.

"That might not be certain. When my tenth Black Sky Blade is crafted..." Nangong Bai said blandly.

However, before he could finish, Qi Changsheng interrupted.

"Then wait until you have crafted the tenth Black Sky Blade to say that to me." Qi Changsheng gave a faint smile, turned and took a step, disappearing.

Nangong Bai squinted his eyes, saying nothing.

Even the usually irritable Tan Xiaolu was silent at this moment.

The Revenge Lineage’s thirteen sects, even though they came from the same lineage, still had internal conflicts.

Usually, the Asura Hall and Black Blade Sect were at odds.

But if the Undying Pavilion rose, the Asura Hall and the Black Blade Sect would unite against the Undying Pavilion.

Because those guys from the Undying Pavilion, like Qi Changsheng, were terribly annoying!

Yet, just as Qi Changsheng said, besides Emperor Ye, no one could truly kill Qi Changsheng...

"By the way, when did that guy make a move, and why didn’t Ning Shenji mention it beforehand?"

Zhou Xuanlin rubbed his chin, looking in the direction Qi Changsheng had departed, thoughtful.

"Fool, Ning Shenji is on good terms with other chiefs, not just you." Tan Xiaolu said irritably.

Zhou Xuanlin shook his head slightly, "Unless Qi Changsheng himself told Ning Shenji this, otherwise Ning Shenji wouldn’t hide this news. But why would Qi Changsheng hide it without reason?"

Tan Xiaolu and Nangong Bai exchanged looks, both puzzled.

Zhou Xuanlin thought of a possibility, saying grimly, "Could it be that this guy intends to harm Emperor Ye!?"

Boom!

However.

Just as Zhou Xuanlin finished speaking, Qi Changsheng reappeared in front of him.

Qi Changsheng looked coldly at Zhou Xuanlin and said slowly, "Brother Zhou, some words will hold you accountable."

Nangong Bai and Tan Xiaolu both stared intently at Qi Changsheng.

Zhou Xuanlin, looking at the re-emerged Qi Changsheng, grinned slyly, "I was just speculating, why are you so nervous, Brother Qi?"

Qi Changsheng said coldly, "Why would I be nervous?"

Zhou Xuanlin said blandly, "You hid the news of your earlier arrival, appearing suddenly when we were discussing who should descend to find Emperor Ye; you can’t blame me for doubting you."

Qi Changsheng fell silent, then, after a moment, spoke hoarsely, "I could never betray Emperor Ye in my entire life. Don’t lump me with people like Mu Yun and Changxi."

Zhou Xuanlin chuckled, "Words alone are not enough; how will you prove it?"

Qi Changsheng looked at Zhou Xuanlin, "Then how do you want me to prove it?"

Zhou Xuanlin dropped his smile, saying blandly, "It’s simple: withdraw your avatar back to the Upper Realm and let me handle finding Emperor Ye."

Qi Changsheng’s mouth twitched slightly, then he sighed, "Ning Shenji was right; you, Zhou Xuanlin, have a glib tongue."

Tan Xiaolu and Nangong Bai now understood as well.

The idea that Qi Changsheng would betray Emperor Ye was sheer nonsense.

From beginning to end, Zhou Xuanlin had been scheming about who should go to the Lower Realm.

Zhou Xuanlin, smiling slyly, looked at Qi Changsheng: "Brother Qi, what do you say?"

Qi Changsheng shook his head, "It still needs to be me. There have been some issues with the Xuanhuang Nine Prohibitions in the Lower Realm, and I can sense the movements on the Dingzhou Death Netherworld side. Emperor Ye will need me then."

At these words, Zhou Xuanlin no longer argued, bowing to Qi Changsheng and saying, "When you meet Emperor Ye, please convey our regards."

"Also, tell Emperor Ye that everyone from the Revenge Lineage is waiting in the Heavenly Domain for his orders!"

Nangong Bai and Tan Xiaolu also looked at Qi Changsheng, their expressions solemn.

Qi Changsheng smiled slightly and said, "I would tell Emperor Ye even if you hadn’t mentioned it."
