Chapter 411: Red and White Duet

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

All the country emperors were shocked at this sudden, extraordinary move by Invincible Heavenly Palace. They looked blankly at the person who sat on the main seat, and for a moment, none of them could react. They didn’t even hear Lonemoon telling everyone not to be overly courteous, for politeness’s sake, nor the large chunks of official announcements that were made. They remained in the saluting posture for a long time.

They looked at Lan Hua and Yi Qing on the left and the right, and the person sitting on the main seat. They exchanged looks and was just about to ask about it, when the immortal qi in their surroundings suddenly started thickening.

“The immortal spring is going to appear!” Somebody gasped. Instantly, everyone forgot to ask about the woman on the main seat, as they all turned to look at the center of the place, their eyes full of expectations. Even those immortals who originally stood in the middle hurried to back away.

An unoccupied space immediately appeared in the middle of the crowd. Immortal qi in the surroundings grew thicker and thicker, and as though attracted by something, it started gathering wildly towards the middle. Immediately, the middle of the square was covered with white, misty Immortal Qi, which showed a tendency to change into physical objects. More and more immortal qi gathered. Suddenly a flash of white light shone in the middle, which cut across the thick Immortal Qi like lightning.

Huh?

Shen Ying who sat on the main seat with a completely cold expression suddenly turned her head towards the middle and frowned thoughtfully. That was...

The white light shone for but a second, before dying down again. Like a flash of lightning. In the next instant, the sounds of flowing water came through. The thick immortal qi finally condensed into waterdrops, which started gathering in the middle in the shape of a swirl. The mist-like immortal qi in the surroundings slowly dissipated as well.

Within the time for burning half an incense, a clear spring appeared in the previously empty space. The clean spring water shone under the sunshine and looked like it was covered in gold. Besides, the whole spring pool floated about one meter high in the air. One could even see the plants on the ground when overlooking from its top.

The immortals looked totally excited. Many even took out their cups and only waited for Bo Sea Emperor to give the order for them to start drinking the spring water. One had to remember that this immortal spring appeared only once every century and appeared for only one hour each time. Later, the spring would disappear once more and they won’t be able to drink from it even if they wanted to.

Lonemoon didn’t mean to make things difficult for everyone. The immortal spring could indeed increase immortal power and was highly beneficial to cultivation. However, it could not directly raise cultivation. Its effect was actually not much different from that of supreme-grade Spirit Mending Pills. Only that the latter was harder to obtain.

So he directly stepped forward and announced loudly, “All who come are guests. Since Fellow Immortals have arrived here, please be at home.” With that said, he directly made a water-driving spell. In the next instant, the water from the spring changed into hundreds of water streams which flew into the cups of the immortals. “Fellow Immortals, please enjoy yourselves!”

Only then did everyone stand up and salute the people on the higher seatings. “Thank you very much, Emperor!”

“I don’t know this immortal guard invites everyone to drink the spring in the name of which Emperor?” Suddenly, a somewhat ironic voice sounded, and a man in green flew down from the sky on his sword. After him were a few dozens of Exalted Immortals. Yet when they touched the ground, they looked towards not the stage, but the crowd of country emperors, and said, “Fellow country emperors have arrived early. I didn’t expect the returning emperor that everyone talked about was so impatient that he actually started drinking the spring before all guests arrived. Please forgive me for being late.”

Shen Ying frowned, turned to Chef beside her and said, “Who is this stupid idiot who apparently came to make trouble?”

Yi Qing was stunned briefly at the long series of description and replied in a low voice, “Master, this should be Yu Cang, emperor of East Tsui. I heard that he only achieved the cultivation of Junior Emperor a few thousands of years ago.”

“Oh.” Shen Ying gave him a look, not interested.

Lonemoon’s eyes actually narrowed slightly. Finally, they started the trouble-making.

“Junior Emperor Yu, please speak carefully!” Another country emperor beside him shouted at him though there wasn’t actually much angst in his expression. “With this Bo Sea Immortal Gathering, we meant it to be for congratulating Emperor Yi Qing in returning to his position in the first place. It is already wrong for you to be late, how do you still dare to talk so blatantly?”

“What Emperor Yi Qing?” He snorted directly and stared at everyone with his face full of disdain. “I only know that there is Emperor Lan Hua in our Bo Sea. Since when had there been another Emperor Yi Qing?”

The country emperor being snapped at looked irritated, as he said even more loudly, “You forget yourself! Emperor Yi Qing has taken charge of Bo Sea more than 3000 years ago. He was the rightful Emperor to Bo Sea.”

“Since you have already said that it happened more than 3000 years ago, I have only taken charge of East Tsui more than 1000 years, that’s why I know only of Emperor Lan Hua but not Emperor Yi Qing!”

“You-”

“Don’t you forget, in these 1000 years, who kept out the demon clan, guarded both immortal and demon worlds and kept the peace of the realm? About that Emperor Yi Qing, I have no idea what he did! I will never recognize someone like this!”

The country emperors fell silent, wearing an expression as though they were angered by him but couldn’t argue back.

Lonemoon looked at the two groups to and fro, and didn’t say anything. One acted as the bad guy while others acted as the good. Clear work allocation they had.

“Emperor Lan Hua!” The one named Yu Cang had already walked right towards Lan Hua. Cupping his fists he said firmly and loyally, “Please rest assured, even if I lose my life, I will not recognize the so-called returning emperor.”

“Huh?” Lan Hua who was still hesitating about how to talk to Yu Hong a bit more, and wasn’t listening at all, was stunned briefly. “What did you say?”

“Emperor!” Yu Cang said even more seriously. “Bo Sea is yours in the first place. The position of Emperor is what you deserve. He turned to the main seat as he talked, and his hand pointed in the same direction. “This person who came out of nowhere was not at all deserving...”

He suddenly stopped mid-sentence. He looked at the woman who sat high up the main seat and looked cold and indifferent. He couldn’t react for a long time.

Who... was this?

(?_??)

I thought Emperor Yi Qing was a man? This was different from the Shadow Preserving Stone. He turned subconsciously to look at the other country emperors: what was this about? It was different from what they had agreed. How was he supposed to continue?

All the other country emperors looked confused themselves. They didn’t have time to ask about it yet!

Lan Hua beside him actually finally understood a bit of what he meant. He wanted him to fight with Good Heart for a seat? He jumped up immediately. “Hey! Don’t you talk nonsense. I’ve never wanted that seat, okay? I’ve never thought about sitting. I like standing, I was born liking to stand. Who are you to interfere with that?”

Making Good Heart give up a seat for him. How could that be? Do you f*cking want me to go bankrupt? I’ll murder you for that!

?(???)

In the next moment, he felt murderous aura coming from Lan Hua’s body. Yu Cang was shocked, and he stood not knowing what his words meant. But he had to continue acting according to the script. So he said in a deep voice, “Emperor, you’ve managed Bo Sea for so many years. Are you really okay with your thousands of years of hard work benefiting another?”

“Wait. Who said that I was the one who managed Bo Sea before?” Lan Hua looked like he was looking at an idiot, as he glanced at the person in front of him up and down. “I’ve never managed it.” He was just a resident.

Yu Cang, “...”

The country emperors: “...”

What?

What was happening? Had they been seeing illusions for thousands of years?
