Chapter 2439: Chapter 2439: Golden Crow Palace · Yanshi Immortal Emperor

On the way to Golden Crow Palace Mountain, Fang Bai passed many Immortal Sects, and to his shock, any Immortal Sect with an Immortal Emperor Realm expert residing was wiped out.

Judging by some traces left at the scenes, it resembled exactly the destruction of Moon Sea Sect and Chaos Heaven Sect.

"The Golden Crow Immortal Emperor is truly deranged. Isn’t he afraid this will provoke the anger of all the immortals in the Immortal Realm?"

Fang Bai looked at the corpses of the fallen disciples from the Immortal Sects, furrowed his brows, and murmured.

Though the Immortal Emperor is the supreme powerhouse of the Immortal Realm, he cannot thoughtlessly slay immortals at will, or it would cause fear throughout the Immortal Realm, leading to them all rising up against him, ultimately swallowing the bitter fruit.

After several months of flying, looking ahead, he could already see the towering and expansive Golden Crow Palace Mountain.

Fang Bai had been friends with the Golden Crow Immortal Emperor in a past life and had visited Golden Crow Palace Mountain many times, thus he was very familiar with the area and quickly found the location of Golden Crow Palace in the endless expanse of Golden Crow Palace Mountain.

Along the way, Fang Bai considered many strategies, and finally decided to first join Golden Crow Palace, and slowly gather information about Linghu Qianjiao.

If he learns that Linghu Qianjiao has indeed been abducted and brought to Golden Crow Palace, then finding a way to rescue her wouldn’t be too late.

Before approaching Golden Crow Palace, Fang Bai concealed several of his own auras, leaving only the aura of a Fire System.

This way, upon arriving at Golden Crow Palace, the experts there could instantly see he possessed an Innate Fire Spirit Root and was an extraordinary immortal.

Fang Bai knew that there were many prodigies in Golden Crow Palace, and to become a key cultivation target for the sect and gain the favor of the Golden Crow Immortal Emperor, he must perform better than the other prodigies in Golden Crow Palace.

Only by getting close to the Golden Crow Immortal Emperor could he possibly gather information about Linghu Qianjiao.

Fang Bai also understood that doing so carries some risk, and he might be exposed by the Golden Crow Immortal Emperor if he is not careful.

But at this point, he could not afford to think too much, continuously reminding himself to be careful and cautious.

As one of the top sects of its time, Golden Crow Palace had numerous Immortal Emperor Realm experts, so when Fang Bai was still a thousand miles away, his presence was detected by disciples of Golden Crow Sect.

"Which immortal are you? State your name!"

Two Immortal Emperor Realm experts from Golden Crow Sect came over, blocking Fang Bai’s path and asked sternly.

They were disciples under the Golden Crow Immortal Emperor, arrogant and prideful, not taking Fang Bai, a mere Sixth Rank Immortal King Realm, seriously at all.

A thousand years ago, the Emperor’s Palace was destroyed, and among the ten thousand disciples, the majority fell, including those from Golden Crow Sect who stained their hands with blood.

Thus, in Fang Bai’s eyes, the disciples of Golden Crow Sect were all enemies, targets for his future revenge.

But right now, he could only forcefully suppress the killing intent in his heart without revealing it.

"I am Wushuang Immortal King. A loose cultivator seeking to join Golden Crow Sect, hoping to be accepted."

Fang Bai cupped his hands and bowed politely.

"Wushuang Immortal King? Quite a boast!"

One disciple of Golden Crow Sect laughed dismissively, pointing at Fang Bai, "You, a mere Sixth Rank Immortal King, dare to call yourself ’Wushuang’? Who gave you that confidence?"

"In our Golden Crow Sect, there are several prodigies of Immortal King Realm, and they don’t dare call themselves ’Wushuang’. But this little immortal dares! Perhaps he is just boasting!"

Another disciple of Golden Crow Sect laughed heartily.

The title ’Wushuang’ necessarily implies being invincible at the same realm. Among Golden Crow Sect’s prodigies, one of them was at a similar cultivation level to Fang Bai and also possessed the Innate Fire Spirit Root, greatly valued by the Sect Master and personally nurtured, yet even he dared not call himself ’Wushuang Immortal King’.

Therefore, in the eyes of these two Golden Crow Sect disciples, Fang Bai calling himself ’Wushuang Immortal King’ seemed quite arrogant, prompting them to mock him.

Fang Bai remained unfazed, continuously smiling.

"Follow me! Let’s go see Yanshi Immortal Emperor. If the elder accepts you, you’ll be able to join Golden Crow Palace."

One disciple of Golden Crow Sect looked Fang Bai up and down, seeing that he appeared younger than the sect’s Immortal King Realm prodigies and also possessed the Innate Fire Spirit Root, then dropped his disdain and spoke formally.

Fang Bai was well-acquainted with Golden Crow Sect, knowing Yanshi Immortal Emperor was one of the two Vice Palace Masters, having high-rank cultivation level in the Immortal Emperor Realm, serving as the right-hand man of Golden Crow Immortal Emperor.

"Is the Golden Crow Immortal Emperor not in the palace?"

Following the Golden Crow Sect disciple, flying toward Golden Crow Palace, Fang Bai asked casually.

The Golden Crow Sect disciple replied, "What? You want to meet the elder Golden Crow Immortal Emperor? Let me tell you, impossible! The elder has been in seclusion for a hundred years without coming out!"

Upon hearing this, Fang Bai felt some doubt, pondering that if the Golden Crow Immortal Emperor had been in seclusion for a hundred years, then who would have been responsible for the destruction of many Immortal Sects, including Moon Sea Sect?

Moments later, that Golden Crow Sect disciple led Fang Bai to Golden Crow Palace, stopping in front of a large hall beside the Palace Master Hall.

"Reporting to Vice Palace Master Yanshi, a loose cultivator with the title ’Wushuang Immortal King’ seeks to join our Golden Crow Palace."

The Golden Crow Sect disciple cupped his hands, bowed respectfully, and reported.

The large hall was the Immortal Hall where Yanshi Immortal Emperor resided. Since the Palace Master Golden Crow Immortal Emperor remained in "seclusion" and the other Vice Palace Master was absorbed in Alchemy, all palace affairs were managed by Yanshi Immortal Emperor.

After the Golden Crow Sect disciple finished speaking, there was an acknowledgment inside the Immortal Hall, followed by Fang Bai sensing a Divine Sense scanning his body.

A few breaths passed, then an inquisitive "Hmm" came from the Immortal Hall, evidently some surprise, followed by an elderly voice saying, "So, Wushuang Immortal King, come inside and speak with me. Starfire Immortal Emperor, you may withdraw."

The Golden Crow Sect disciple, titled "Starfire Immortal Emperor," acknowledged, looked at Fang Bai jealously, knowing he had caught the attention of Yanshi Immortal Emperor, then flew away on Auspicious Clouds.

Fang Bai took a deep breath and walked confidently into the Immortal Hall, and first sight was of the towering Yanshi Immortal Emperor sitting majestically on a stone throne at the front.

Yanshi Immortal Emperor was burly, with a high nose and broad mouth, eyes emitting brilliant light, and his flame-like red hair and beard stood on end, resembling a fierce lion.

Seated there, he naturally exuded an aura of authority without anger, imposing pressure on Fang Bai.

His eyes, like two sharp swords, were fixed on Fang Bai, seemingly capable of penetrating Fang Bai’s body. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Fang Bai’s method of concealing his aura had led the Immortal Realm for a thousand years, and even Immortal Emperors couldn’t see through it, so he was confident Yanshi Immortal Emperor wouldn’t detect any flaws.

"Are you titled Wushuang Immortal King?"

Yanshi Immortal Emperor scrutinized Fang Bai for several breaths before asking in a deep voice.

His voice wasn’t loud but resonated like muffled thunder, striking Fang Bai, causing him to take a step back involuntarily.

"I am indeed...Wushuang Immortal King..."

Fang Bai replied, showing a painful expression.

Yanshi Immortal Emperor’s voice, transformed into strong shock waves, crashed into Fang Bai’s body, making his blood and energy surge within, his body nearly bursting, barely able to withstand it.
