Chapter 65: So Big, Like a Giant Milk Cow!
An elder of the Jiang family suddenly burst in, his expression panicked. This caused quite a few people to look over.
In their hearts, they speculated that if nothing major had happened, who would dare barge in at such a time?
Jiang Wujì glanced at the intruder and his face darkened as he asked coldly, “What’s the matter?”
The Jiang family elder hesitated for a moment, took a deep breath, and then said with gritted teeth, “Ancestor, something’s happened! Something serious!”
“The Abandoned Mountain Imperial Prison has been attacked! The three Great Emperors imprisoned there have been rescued!”
As soon as these words were spoken, it was like a stone thrown into a pond, causing ripples throughout. Everyone present stood up abruptly, their breaths stirring, showing extreme shock.
The Abandoned Mountain Imperial Prison was in trouble, and the Great Emperors imprisoned there had been rescued!
This was much more severe than the mere destruction of the Nine Absolutes Sect. If higher-ups found out, they wouldn’t be able to handle the consequences!
Moreover, at this sensitive time, one incident after another would make the higher-ups view them unfavorably.
Jiang Wujì clenched his fists tightly, his expression changing unpredictably. For the first time, he felt a sense of powerlessness.
At this moment, everyone else’s eyes focused on him.
A crimson bead floated up, and Cao Jue’s voice came from within, asking anxiously, “What do we do now?”
“Better not to mention it, but mentioning it means the Imperial Prison is in trouble!”
Jiang Wujì gave him a cold look and said, “Shut up. For now, we can only wait for the Heavenly Punishment Sovereign to act!”
“It must be Ye Xi. No one else has such capability!”
As he spoke, he suddenly understood. Everything seemed to have been planned by Ye Xi all along.
Jiang Wujì’s face turned grim as he muttered, “Cangwu Mountain is in trouble. Ye Xi lured the Heavenly Punishment Sovereign out, used the Dao Suppressing Stone to negate the Evil Eye’s suppression, and severely injured the Sovereign.”
“This time…”
“He took advantage of the moment when the Sovereign dispatched the Eight Extinction Destroyers to storm the Imperial Prison and rescue the imprisoned Great Emperors!”
After he finished speaking, silence fell over the entire Cave Heaven.
An oppressive atmosphere slowly descended, as if a thick cloud of darkness loomed over everyone’s hearts.
Many even began to think…
Ye Xi truly had everything under control, using Liyue Celestial Dynasty and Jade Pool Sacred Land to hold others back.
He alone stormed the Abandoned Mountain Imperial Prison to save someone.
They had thought they had the support of the Sovereign and were in a favorable position, but now they realized it was all an illusion.
Cao Jue’s soul hid inside the bead and suddenly said, “Do you think we can’t win over the Immortal Emperor, can we try to win over Ye Xi instead?”
“…”
The hall fell silent again, no one answering.
But many minds started racing, thinking this might be feasible.
Not everyone had joined from the beginning. It was through long-term infiltration and continuous recruitment that they ended up working together.
Each time they cooperated with Ye Xi, they suffered significant losses.
Since they couldn’t beat him, could they pull him in as an ally?
Soon, someone voiced his opinion, saying in a solemn tone, “I think Brother Cao’s idea is worth trying…”
“Ye Xi’s wisdom and strategy are clearly… well, I mean, we should try to win him over!”
Others quickly agreed.
Jiang Wujì’s face darkened, feeling uneasy. Though no one said it directly, it was clear they were dissatisfied with him!
Was he being doubted in his ability to control things? Foolish!
But since everyone decided on this course, he could only say, “Alright, let’s give it a try sometime!”
“After all, what we aim to achieve is a great cause, and we need more geniuses to join us!”
Jiang Wujì paused, then added, “We also need to realize that maybe there’s a problem within our own ranks.”
“The Abandoned Mountain Imperial Prison is a secret. How did Ye Xi find out about it?”
Hearing this, many faces changed.
A traitor?
Please note: In the top right corner of the page, there are functions such as “Switch between Simplified and Traditional Chinese,” “Adjust Font Size,” and “Reading Background Color.”
If there really was a traitor among them, it would be troublesome, as they would lose even the slight advantage of hiding in the shadows.
Jiang Wujì’s gaze turned icy. “This matter needs thorough investigation. If anyone harbors a spy, I won’t let them off!”
He didn’t doubt those present.
Instead, he suspected it was one of their own or subordinates. For them, there was no turning back, and betrayal was impossible.
“Now that the Heavenly Punishment Sovereign is injured…”
Cao Jue’s voice suddenly echoed, asking, “I wonder if the other Sovereigns will intervene. If they do, everything will be resolved!”
Jiang Wujì’s expression also changed, but he shook his head.
After a moment of hesitation, he said, “Let’s wait. For now, let’s take a break and plan our next move!”
“I’ll get my revenge next time!”
Jiang Wujì clenched his fist as he spoke, his eyes flashing with determination.
“Nothing else, I’m leaving first!”
“Yes, there’s still a lot to handle.”
“Let me know!”
Before he finished speaking, everyone stood up and bid farewell, their figures disappearing into the Cave Heaven under cloaks.
Jiang Wujì’s face turned cold once more, his fists tightening.

Liyue Celestial Dynasty.
Days passed, and most of the Nine Absolutes Sect’s territory had been absorbed.
With the acquisition of the sect’s land and resources, the Celestial Dynasty’s overall strength made another leap forward. In recent days, numerous major forces from the Central State had come to pay homage, establish friendships, and form alliances.
These matters no longer required Ye Qingge’s personal involvement. Apart from a few top-tier forces, the rest were handled by Chancellor Gongyang Mu.
Thus, a battle that shook the Central State came to an end, which no one had anticipated.
Liyue Celestial Dynasty had won so comprehensively, and the news that the powerful Empress had already broken through the Tribulation Period spread widely.
Moreover, not only Ye Qingge, but also Yuan Ruoyu and the Pei Family had Great Emperors stationed.
This caused quite a stir.
When did Great Emperors become so common? They were supposed to be rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns!
Only some individuals sensed something unusual from these pieces of information.
Why were Ye Qingge and Yuan Ruoyu concealing their cultivation?
There must be some unknown secrets behind this, making people ponder.
At this moment, in a mist-filled bathhouse.
Two delicate bodies, as white as jade, were bathing in the pool, their necks and below submerged in water.
It was Ye Qingge and Qing Dai.
After a few days of interaction, the Celestial Dynasty Empress and the demon domain’s demon emperor surprisingly got along well.
They had barely spent a few days together before they started bathing together.
Ye Qingge leaned against the edge of the bath, her eyes slightly open, looking at Qing Dai nearby, then glancing down at herself.
Suddenly, this strong-willed empress felt a sense of defeat.
Ye Qingge thought to herself, “So big, it’s too exaggerated, like a giant milk cow…”
Of course, she would never say such things aloud.
For transformed beasts, their true forms were rather private matters and wouldn’t be easily revealed to others.
Qing Dai suddenly looked over and asked, “What’s your relationship with the Immortal Emperor? Do you know where he is now?”
Ye Qingge was stunned. Although their interactions had been harmonious over the past few days, they still knew little about each other’s backgrounds.
She hadn’t expected Qing Dai to ask such a question so suddenly.
However, there was no real need for secrecy. After a moment’s hesitation, she replied, “Just like us, we often bathe together.”
“As for where he is now, I don’t know either.”
The Empress of the Celestial Dynasty bathing with a man—this relationship was already quite explicit.
Qing Dai frowned slightly, not expecting the other party to know nothing.
At this moment, Ye Qingge looked at her, somewhat playfully, and asked, “And you? What do you want from him? What’s your relationship with him?”
Ye Qingge was genuinely curious. She had never heard Lin Feng mention any connection with a beast.
“Hmph, such a large beast…”
Ye Qingge’s mind raced, thinking to herself, “I suspect Qing Dai’s help this time isn’t so simple.”
