Rebirth of the Supreme Immortal Emperor-Chapter 1295 - 1292: News of Emperor Yu

Upon hearing Xie Wanwan’s invitation, Li Chen initially wanted to decline.

However, before he could open his mouth, he suddenly heard a sound of the Copper Bell reverberating from the main pavilion.

Subsequently, the surrounding pavilions also echoed the same sound one after another.

Hearing this sound, Xie Wanwan and the disciples of Azure Sky Pavilion were involuntarily taken aback.

Could it be the Nine Pavilion Welcoming Ceremony? This is the highest ceremonial welcome of Azure Sky Pavilion. The last time it was held was a hundred years ago when the Saint Heir of Greedy Wolf Hall visited.

Could it be that today there’s an esteemed guest arriving whose status rivals that of the Saint Heir of Greedy Wolf Hall?

But this is not right. According to previous customs, preparations should be made several months in advance.

And this time, no word was heard at all.

Suddenly, all the disciples guarding the entrance directed their questioning gaze toward Xie Wanwan.

Being the granddaughter of the Great Elder and the daughter of the Pavilion Master, by her rank, she should know some inside information.

However, at this moment, Little Witch Xie Wanwan was as clueless as a monk who can’t grasp the essentials.

Suddenly, she seemed to have thought of something, and her big sparkling eyes widened, staring dazedly at Li Chen.

"Could this Nine Pavilion Welcoming Ceremony be welcoming you?"

Li Chen did not answer Xie Wanwan’s question; his deep and bright eyes were fixated on the direction of the main pavilion.

Many powerful entities were approaching here.

There were as many as four Divinity Transformation True Monarchs.

The leader among them had an unfathomable cultivation; the abundance of their True Yuan even surpassed that of the Sect Leader of Heavenly Thunder Sect, the Five Thunders True Monarch.

In Azure Sky Pavilion, there might be only one person more powerful than the Five Thunders True Monarch, and that is the Great Elder known as Old Demon Xie.

Old Demon Xie’s original name is Xie Chen; he is the founding ancestor of Azure Sky Pavilion and its former Pavilion Master.

In his youth, his behavior was quite demonic, and due to his notably long life, he is a contemporary era of Heavenly Thunder True Monarch, Five Thunders True Monarch’s mentor.

Hence, the nickname Old Demon Xie was given to him.

On the day his granddaughter Xie Wanwan was born, he abruptly announced his abdication and his son Xie Batian succeeded him.

However, the important matters of Azure Sky Pavilion are still under his control, making him like a Supreme Emperor still holding true powers.

As Li Chen’s mind turned a thousand thoughts, he saw an elder with white hair and beard, leading numerous disciples, approaching.

Upon seeing Li Chen, he enthusiastically cupped his hands in salute.

"Li Chen, young friend, your arrival at Azure Sky Pavilion truly illuminates our pavilion!"

Seeing that her grandfather personally came to welcome him, Xie Wanwan was a bit stunned.

Last time when Holy Son Jackal from Greedy Wolf Hall came, he was only greeted by her father, leading the inner and outer gate Elders.

Could it be that in her grandfather’s eyes, Li Chen is more important than the Jackal?

But that seems impossible, considering the Jackal is the Saint Heir of Greedy Wolf Hall.

Perhaps he might even steer the entire Greedy Wolf Hall in the future.

Even if Li Chen’s talent is monstrous, it’s impossible to compare.

Unless...

Thinking of this, Xie Wanwan’s delicate body shivered suddenly. Her gaze towards Li Chen was now filled with awe.

Seeing such a high-reaching gesture welcoming him, Li Chen immediately understood that today, he definitely had to enter the Azure Sky Pavilion for a visit.

Since I’ve come, let’s enjoy the moment!

With this in mind, Li Chen cupped his hands and returned a salute.

"Elder Xie, you flatter me!"

Xie Chen squinted his eyes, smiling: "Truly, a hero emerges from youth. Li Chen, young friend, at such a young age, achieving such success, it truly makes us feel ashamed!"

After exchanging the pleasantries, Xie Chen introduced his son and two direct disciples to Li Chen.

Xie Batian, the direct son of Xie Chen, the current Pavilion Master of Azure Sky Pavilion.

Zhao Yilong, Lim Baihu, serve as the chief Elders of the inner and outer gates respectively.

The three of them greeted Li Chen one by one, and Li Chen returned the salute individually.

Once the ceremonial procedures were completed, Xie Chen welcomed Li Chen into the highest-grade guest room within the pavilion.

Xie Chen invited Li Chen to sit in the chief seat, but Li Chen declined.

Therefore, the chief seat was occupied by Xie Chen.

Li Chen and Pavilion Master Xie Batian shared the second seat.

Zhao Yilong, Lim Baihu shared the last seat.

Others, including Xie Chen’s beloved granddaughter Xie Wanwan, did not have the privilege to sit.

Hence, she could only assume the role of maid alongside Xia Ning’er, attending tea and pouring water.

During the banquet, after exchanging courteous small talk, Xie Chen slightly squinted his eyes, scrutinizing Li Chen.

"May I ask, Li Chen, young friend, are you from Earth?"

While enjoying tea, Li Chen suddenly heard the familiar term "Earth," and his hand froze in motion.

However, remembering in Wolong Ridge, during the battle with Forest Python, he had inadvertently revealed this information.

At that time, Xie Wanwan was present.

Hence, it was no surprise that Old Demon Xie knew this detail.

With this in mind, Li Chen did not deny it and acknowledged it right there.

Seeing Li Chen’s look of displeasure, Xie Chen hastily stroked his silver-white beard, explaining: "Li Chen, young friend, do not misunderstand. I did not intentionally probe into your background. I simply recalled an old friend of mine upon seeing you!"

Hearing the term "old friend," Li Chen’s heart slightly shook, he asked with a smile: "Oh, which old friend of Elder Xie?"

Xie Chen’s turbid eyes suddenly sparkled, staring ahead.

He seemed lost in memories.

After a while, he spoke: "This old friend of mine is also from the same place as Li Chen, young friend, his name is Xia Yu!"

Hearing the name "Xia Yu," Li Chen shuddered as he lifted the teacup.

The blue porcelain teacup in his hand was almost knocked over.

"Xia Yu? Emperor Yu?"

Xie Chen asked, surprised: "Oh, does Li Chen, young friend also know Emperor Yu?"

Li Chen thought for a moment, then shook his head, saying: "I haven’t met him, but we’re kindred spirits from afar!"

Upon hearing Li Chen’s explanation, Xie Chen nods in understanding.

"I see!"

Li Chen didn’t expect that after Emperor Yu left Earth, he also arrived on the Greedy Wolf Star.

He steadied himself and could not wait to ask: "Elder Xie, do you know where Emperor Yu is now?"

Upon hearing Li Chen’s inquiry, Xie Chen’s face, marked by the passage of years, revealed a trace of sorrow.

"Four thousand years ago, he and Greedy Wolf Hall’s current Hall Master, Heavenly Wolf, had a decisive battle in Great Wilderness Thunder Swamp over the Heavenly Mechanism Stone. At that time, Great Wilderness Thunder Swamp was thrown into chaos by the two of them..."

Li Chen was startled upon hearing this and hurriedly asked: "Oh, what was the outcome?"

Xie Chen shook his head: "I’m not certain of the specific outcome. I only know that after Heavenly Wolf returned, he announced a retreat to the public for a long-lasting three thousand years, while Emperor Yu vanished without a trace..."

Speaking here, he suddenly paused, glancing at Li Chen’s expression using the corner of his eyes.

Then, his face turned even more filled with sorrow as he said: "In my opinion, my old friend possibly has already perished in Great Wilderness Thunder Swamp!"

Indeed, Xie Chen’s speculation is also the general consensus on the Greedy Wolf Star.

After all, the one who acted was the Hall Master of Greedy Wolf Hall, Heavenly Wolf, the Peak List’s top rank!
