Luantian Blood Emperor never expected to encounter his most dreaded rival at this moment!
Through Tu Lie’s memories, he knew just how terrifying this guy’s abilities were; he was one of the most powerful opponents lurking in the Immortal Realm.
Honestly, he didn’t have any confidence in defeating Ye Junlin right now, so the best option was to avoid conflict as much as possible.
But of course, things rarely go as planned. The other party came looking for him, instantly tightening the muscles of the usually calm and confident Luantian Blood Emperor, his heart leaping into his throat.
“It’s fine. Right now, I look like that Tu fellow. This guy won’t see through me; as long as I don’t slip up, I can easily pull the wool over his eyes.”
Luantian Blood Emperor’s eyes darted around wildly as he murmured to himself for reassurance.
“It’s Ye Immortal Lord! He’s here too!”
Upon seeing the newcomer, the group of onlookers erupted like a boiling sea, their expressions electric with excitement.
To the cultivators from North Cold Immortal Domain, that man was like a deity in their eyes!
“Is he the rumored Ye Tian Emperor…?” Bu Qianfan gazed at the striking silver-haired figure, a flicker of hope rising in his heart for no apparent reason.
For some unknown reason, the moment this person appeared, he felt that the seemingly hopeless situation had a chance of turning around.
When Ye Junlin arrived on the scene, he first nodded at Li Ruotong, then looked towards the other two figures in the area, a glint of surprise flickering in his eyes as he arched an eyebrow:
“You Undying Blood Clan dare to come here? Do you really think no one’s around in North Cold Immortal Domain? You think anyone can be fooled by you?”
Upon hearing this, Bu Qianfan’s eyes dimmed, and the meager hope in his heart was extinguished.
It seemed he had been overthinking it.
Even with the arrival of Ye Tian Emperor, it wouldn’t change anything; he would still be blinded by that monster.
From the very beginning, he shouldn’t have held any expectations.
Luantian Blood Emperor felt a wave of joy deep down and quickly clasped his fists in a feigned apology:
“Ye Immortal Lord, this whole mess is all Tu Lie’s fault for being careless and not dealing with this Undying Blood Clan swiftly. I’ll take him down right now and report back to the Immortal Court, then come to apologize to you afterward!”
As soon as he said that, the crowd of cultivators nodded in agreement, their favor towards the Dongsheng Immortal Lord increasing.
After all, it was his failure that allowed this Undying Blood Clan to run rampant in North Cold Immortal Domain, so he had to apologize for it, out of both justice and reason.
Most importantly, seeing the mighty Dongsheng Immortal Lord showing such respect to their Ye Immortal Lord made them feel proud, as if they had a share in his glory!
“Huh?”
Li Ruotong’s eyes flashed with surprise.
She didn’t expect the Dongsheng Immortal Lord, rumored to be hot-tempered and arrogant, would take the initiative to soften in this matter—it was a bit unexpected.
Yet,
Ye Junlin remained unmoved, his gaze locked onto Luantian Blood Emperor as he coldly chuckled, “Heh, did you really think I was talking to someone else just now?”
“What?”
Luantian Blood Emperor froze in place, instinctively locking eyes with that silver-haired youth’s golden gaze, suddenly feeling awfully guilty—as if all his secrets had been laid bare.
At that moment, Ye Junlin’s eyes glowed with a scorching golden light, adding a touch of the sacred to his presence.
He had sensed something was off upon his arrival and had used his Breaking Delusion Golden Eyes to investigate.
The results showed both of their true forms, which left him quite astonished.
Initially, he had been fooled by appearances, thinking he was indeed chasing that Tu Lie fellow, tracking the Undying Blood Clan until now.
But now that the truth was out, seeing that the other party still wanted to deceive him, Ye Junlin found it quite ridiculous.
“What you said, I don’t quite understand,”
Luantian Blood Emperor said, his tension palpable as he forced a calm tone.
His brain was racing, trying to figure out where he had slipped up or if this was just the other’s provocation?
Li Ruotong, confused, asked, “Ye Dao Friend, what do you mean by that?”
Ye Junlin pointed to Luantian Blood Emperor’s figure, smirking:
“I mean, he is the real Undying Blood Clan!”
Suddenly, the entire area fell silent before erupting into chaos.
Countless cultivators stared, eyes wide as they exclaimed, “What? That Tu Immortal Lord is the Undying Blood Clan?”
The unexpected reversal left them all in disbelief.
“You’re talking nonsense! How could I, the dignified Sky Treading Battle Emperor, the Immortal Lord of Dongsheng Immortal Domain, be the Undying Blood Clan you mentioned? That’s outright slander!”
Luantian Blood Emperor shouted angrily, raising the Immortal Lord’s official seal in self-defense.
“That means there’s only one explanation—the real Dongsheng Immortal Lord has already been killed by you, and you replaced him.”
Ye Junlin said flatly.
“That’s right!”
Bu Qianfan, who had wanted to give up, found the situation reversed and shouted excitedly, “The real Tu Immortal Lord has been slain and replaced by this cunning Undying Blood Clan!”
Ye Junlin turned to the middle-aged man curiously, asking, “And you are…?”
“I am South Sky Immortal Lord, Bu Qianfan!” Bu Qianfan said respectfully toward the man who uncovered the truth.
“You say you are South Sky Immortal Lord?” Li Ruotong exclaimed in surprise, her beautiful eyes expressing disbelief.
Everyone knows that South Sky Immortal Lord is an unparalleled sword cultivator, known as the Righteous Heaven Sword Emperor, his reputation resonating throughout history!
Who would have thought they would meet this way!
“This Undying Blood Clan actually claims to be South Sky Immortal Lord? The Righteous Heaven Sword Emperor who terrifies the Immortal Realm?”
“Are you stupid? Even Ye Immortal Lord said that Tu Immortal Lord is the real Undying Blood Clan, which means that guy’s identity is genuine!”
“Yeah, though I’m baffled, I unconditionally trust Ye Immortal Lord!”
“Me too!”
…
The din arose from North Cold Immortal Domain, a cacophony like boiling water.
Even though countless cultivators were shocked and incredulous at Ye Junlin’s astonishing remarks, they quickly showed their trust, voicing their support for him.
It’s no exaggeration to say that Ye Junlin is a deity in their eyes; even if he said the world would end tomorrow, they would believe it.
After all, the current environment of North Cold Immortal Domain has been entirely transformed by Ye Junlin.
This kind of abnormal power had impressed everyone, so in their eyes, whatever Ye Junlin said was right.
“Then I will trust Dao Friend Ye’s judgment,” Li Ruotong said, stepping in front of Bu Qianfan to prevent Luantian Blood Emperor from making a move first.
To be fair,
If anyone else had said such words, she would have questioned them immediately.
But this person is Ye Junlin, and that made her a hundred percent ready to trust him!
“Good, very good…”
Luantian Blood Emperor’s forehead veins bulged, a raging fire of anger boiling inside him as he fixed his bloodshot eyes on that silver-haired figure.
It was all because of this guy that his good plans were ruined!
Faced with this situation, Luantian Blood Emperor realized his identity was exposed. He was just very unwilling to accept it—where did he slip up?
He was desperate to find out!
“Tell me, how did you know?”
As Luantian Blood Emperor revealed his true form, his blood-red hair whipped around like raging snakes, his face twisted in a terrifying way as he spoke coldly.
“Because…” Ye Junlin’s eyes shimmered with golden light, an amused smile playing on his lips, “I can tell at a glance that you’re not human!”
