Chapter 2466: The Killing Intent of the Golden Crow Immortal Emperor

In the Immortal Realm, any sect’s prodigy, both male and female, are rare and are the focus of intensive cultivation and protection by the sects.Previously, news of the fall of Qingyan Immortal King and the other four great talents had already reached the Golden Crow Immortal Emperor, filling him with grief.

At this very moment, upon hearing the news of yet another sect prodigy’s demise, the Golden Crow Immortal Emperor couldn’t help but feel a surge of anger, and he coldly glared at Yanshi Immortal Emperor, sneering, "If you can’t even protect our sect’s prodigy disciples, what’s the use of having you bunch of useless beings?"

An Emperor Realm expert’s anger seemed to affect the surrounding celestial environment, turning it ominous.

Being of High Rank Immortal Emperor Realm, Yanshi Immortal Emperor, standing before the enraged Golden Crow Immortal Emperor, couldn’t help but bow his head, trembling all over.

In Yanshi Immortal Emperor’s impression, ever since the Golden Crow Immortal Emperor began cultivating the Demon Clan Emperor’s technique, his temper had grown increasingly violent, and he was genuinely afraid that the Golden Crow Immortal Emperor might vent his wrath upon him in a fit of anger.

Although Yanshi Immortal Emperor was a High Rank Immortal Emperor Realm expert, being second to none in Golden Crow Palace, the Golden Crow Immortal Emperor could crush him as easily as squashing an ant.

Yanshi Immortal Emperor and another Vice Palace Master were the Golden Crow Immortal Emperor’s left and right arms, and the Golden Crow Immortal Emperor still needed them to help manage the Golden Crow Palace; naturally, he wouldn’t harm them, as doing so would be like severing his own arm and could put him at a disadvantage in competition with the other seven top powers.

"You may leave now. I will handle this matter myself!"

A moment later, the Golden Crow Immortal Emperor waved his hand, and the apparition above the hall disappeared.

Yanshi Immortal Emperor let out a sigh of relief, wiping the layer of cold sweat off his forehead, then turned to leave.

Since the Golden Crow Immortal Emperor said he would handle it himself, it meant he planned to personally deal with the elusive culprit. Unless the culprit was also an Emperor Realm expert, they would be unable to escape under the divine sense of the Golden Crow Immortal Emperor.

Within the Palace Master Hall of the Golden Crow Palace, the Golden Crow Immortal Emperor sat cross-legged.

This time, the Golden Crow Immortal Emperor did not enter a cultivation state but instead released his divine sense, probing the movements within ten thousand miles.

The Golden Crow Immortal Emperor had immense confidence; even if the other seven top Immortal Emperors arrived in person, once they entered his divine sense’s range of ten thousand miles, they could not escape his notice.

Only the War Emperor, from a thousand years ago, could approach him unknowingly.

Thinking of the War Emperor, a trace of dread flashed across the Golden Crow Immortal Emperor’s face; he mused that luckily, the War Emperor had fallen, otherwise, during these thousand years, he and the other seven Immortal Emperors would have remained overshadowed by him, without any chance of rising to prominence.

Though the Emperor’s Palace was destroyed, remnants of the Emperor’s Palace still existed and were a persistent thorn in the side of the Golden Crow Immortal Emperor and the other seven Immortal Emperors. Until this thorn was removed, they could not have peace of mind.

However, despite the relentless pursuit by the eight top forces over the millennia, disciples of the Emperor’s Palace were adept at the arts of formation and concealment, hiding across the various Heavenly Domains of the Immortal Realm, preventing their complete eradication.

When hearing Yanshi Immortal Emperor talk about the recent series of incidents, the Golden Crow Immortal Emperor’s first reaction was that it was the work of the Emperor’s Palace remnants, but on further thought, those remnants would be too busy evading the eight top powers’ chase to muster the courage to commit such a suicidal act by antagonizing the Golden Crow Palace.

Moreover, the Golden Crow Immortal Emperor had fortuitously obtained a Demon Clan Emperor’s cultivation technique recently. If the other seven top Immortal Emperors learned of this, they would undoubtedly try to prevent him from advancing to the Great Emperor Realm.

After all, the power of the current eight top Immortal Emperors in the Immortal Realm was quite evenly matched, maintaining a balance where none could easily overpower another.

But if the Golden Crow Immortal Emperor succeeded in advancing to the Great Emperor Realm, he would surely aim to unify the Immortal Realm under his rule, leaving no way out for the other seven top Immortal Emperors.

This led the Golden Crow Immortal Emperor to believe that the recent series of events were more likely orchestrated by the powers associated with the other seven Immortal Emperors, aiming to disrupt or sabotage his cultivation progress.

Truthfully, the relationships among the eight top Immortal Emperors had never been harmonious; they had only temporarily allied a thousand years ago to combat the power of the Emperor’s Palace and the formidable War Emperor. With the destruction of the Emperor’s Palace and the fall of the War Emperor, they lost their greatest adversary, and their relations could no longer return to how they had been.

The Golden Crow Immortal Emperor’s divine sense swept over the surrounding ten thousand miles, with a gaze as cold as ice, surging with murderous intent.

If it was confirmed that the recent trouble targeting the Golden Crow Palace was indeed orchestrated by the powers of the other seven Immortal Emperors, he would show no mercy and personally strike to kill, in order to intimidate the opposition and make them realize he was not someone to be trifled with.

The Golden Crow Immortal Emperor’s divine sense searched within ten thousand miles, failing to detect any unfamiliar immortal’s presence; thus, he remained seated cross-legged in the Palace Master Hall, while his primordial spirit left his body, exploring within several hundred thousand miles for further investigation.

"Within several hundred thousand miles, there seems to be no sign of any outsider immortal; could the culprit have already left?"

A moment later, the Golden Crow Immortal Emperor retracted his primordial spirit, murmuring to himself.

Still, the Golden Crow Immortal Emperor stayed vigilant, and over the subsequent period, he occasionally released his primordial spirit to search far and wide, yet still found no trace of anything.

"It seems the culprit truly has left..."

Failing to uncover who was targeting him, the Golden Crow Immortal Emperor grew intensely frustrated, for if word of this spread, it would bring shame not only upon the Golden Crow Palace but also upon himself, and the other seven top Immortal Emperors would likely mock him over the matter.

"Hmph, I will personally leave to investigate, and I must find out the truth! If I find out who did this, don’t blame this Immortal Emperor for being ruthless!"

The Golden Crow Immortal Emperor already had quite a temper, and after cultivating the Demon Clan Emperor’s technique, grew even more tyrannical and savage; he couldn’t swallow this humiliation and couldn’t focus on continued cultivation, deciding to leave the Golden Crow Palace to carefully investigate the matter.

Moreover, having only just begun cultivating the Demon Clan Emperor’s technique, he needed to gather eighty-one Immortal Emperor Realm experts and forty-nine Heavenly prodigies, both male and female, to use their essence blood as a guide for unlocking a deeper layer of the Demon Clan Emperor’s technique.

Hence, his departure served not only to investigate the culprit but also to capture some Immortal Emperor Realm experts from other sects to imprison in the Golden Crow Palace for cultivation purposes.

"I have matters to attend to and will be leaving the sect for a period. If there are urgent matters, you may crush the messaging jade pendant to notify me, and I will return immediately."

Before leaving the Golden Crow Palace, the Golden Crow Immortal Emperor instructed Yanshi Immortal Emperor and other high-level members.

The Immortal Emperor could tear through the void with bare hands and traverse the Endless Space; a journey of millions of miles was but a moment to them.

Therefore, even if the Golden Crow Immortal Emperor traveled far away from the sect, there was no need to worry about the sect being assaulted by experts.

In recent days, Fang Bai remained quietly in his Immortal Residence, not daring to act rashly.

The series of incidents targeting the Golden Crow Palace recently was naturally his doing, relying on his unparalleled art of concealing his presence.

He only stopped once the Golden Crow Immortal Emperor ended his cultivation and began investigating the culprit.

Fang Bai’s intention was to draw the Golden Crow Immortal Emperor out of seclusion and, ideally, away from the Golden Crow Palace for a while. Seeing the effect this had, he couldn’t help but be overjoyed.
