The Immortal Wife Is Like A Cloud-Chapter "1177"

<h1text-align:" center"=""><spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Chapter 1177: Netherghost Emperor

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">The scene before them was both eerie and unexpected.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">The dense fog that had surrounded them seemed to part willingly, as if the island itself was welcoming their arrival.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Su Jingzhen couldn't help but feel a sense of curiosity mixed with caution.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">With Shuang Jiang by his side, he remained relatively calm.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Even if things took a turn for the worse, he could always rely on Little Green or the Elven Clan Leader for assistance.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">After all, even an Emperor-level Nether Soul wouldn't be an insurmountable threat to him.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Qin Tian, on the other hand, was a bundle of nerves.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">He followed Su Jingzhen closely, afraid that they might leave him behind at any moment.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">The island itself was sparsely populated with Nether Souls, but the few that were present were far more powerful than those they had encountered in the Nethersea.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Each of them was at least at the Immortal Lord level, and Su Jingzhen even discovered a few at the Immortal King level.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">If these Nether Souls were to form an army, the thought of their combined strength was terrifying.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Fortunately, the cultivators of the Nethersea had developed extensive knowledge and techniques to counter these Nether souls.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Otherwise, the Nethersea would undoubtedly be a major threat to the entire Immortal Realm.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">As they ventured deeper into the island, they reached its central area.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Suddenly, a deep, ancient voice echoed through the air. "Friends from afar, what a pleasure to have you here."

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">The thick black mist before them began to disperse, revealing a throne made entirely of bones. Seated upon it was a figure clad in black robes.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"=""> Unlike the other Nether Souls, this one's form was almost as solid as a physical body. The aura emanating from him was unmistakably at the level of an Immortal Emperor.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"It has been a long time since an Immortal Emperor, especially a high-level one, has visited the Nethersea.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">May I ask what brings you here, esteemed Immortal Emperor?"

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">The tone of the Netherghost Emperor was surprisingly friendly, devoid of any hostility.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">At this level, Nether Souls were not much different from ordinary cultivators, except that they were often referred to as ghost cultivators.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">As he spoke, the Netherghost Emperor waved his hand, and a stone table materialized before them. A pot of steaming tea was placed on it.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"Since fate has brought us together, why not sit down and share a cup of tea?"

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Shuang Jiang was still unsure of the Netherghost Emperor's intentions, but she wasn't one to back down.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">She sat down, followed by Su Jingzhen and Qin Tian.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">While Su Jingzhen remained calm, Qin Tian's legs were visibly shaking.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Despite being an Immortal Lord, he had rarely encountered Immortal Emperors, let alone shared tea with one. This was a challenge far beyond his comfort zone. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"I am the Netherghost Emperor, known as Netherghost. May I ask how I should address you, esteemed Immortal Emperor?"

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">The Netherghost Emperor's tone was respectful, acknowledging Shuang Jiang's superior cultivation level.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"I am Shuang Jiang of the Extreme Ice Hall," she replied. The source of thɪs content is novel⁂fire.net

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Upon hearing this, the Netherghost Emperor's brow furrowed for a moment, as if he was deep in thought.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Then, a look of surprise crossed his face.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"The Extreme Ice Hall... So you are from the other side of the Emperor's Realm. What a lucky encounter. May I ask what brings you to the Nethersea? Perhaps I can be of some help to you."

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">His words were surprisingly sincere. However, Shuang Jiang did not immediately reveal her purpose.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Instead, she said, "Before we discuss that, I need an explanation for the ghost wall you set up to mislead us earlier."

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Her tone was firm, and her words carried a clear demand for accountability.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">The Netherghost Emperor was momentarily taken aback, but quickly smiled.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"Ah, the ghost wall you mentioned was indeed my doing. However, it was merely a means to invite you onto the island for a conversation.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">As for my intentions, I can explain. The Nethersea is currently facing some... complications.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Matters have arisen that we, the Netherghost Emperors, are struggling to resolve on our own.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">When I sensed your presence, I thought it might be an opportunity to seek your assistance,"

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">His expression grew serious as he spoke, and Shuang Jiang exchanged a glance with Su Jingzhen. Both of them were intrigued by his words.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Meanwhile, Qin Tian felt as though he was on the verge of fainting.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">He was clearly out of his depth, caught in a conversation between beings far beyond his level.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">He regretted ever teaming up with Shuang Jiang and Su Jingzhen.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">The more he learned, the deeper he was entangled in a web of causality from which he couldn't escape. He knew that he was in over his head.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Shuang Jiang, however, remained calm.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"Our destination is Death Mountain, which has little to do with the Nethersea. So I'm afraid that you might have approached the wrong people."

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">The Netherghost Emperor chuckled softly.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"Death Mountain? That makes this even more coincidental. If your goal is Death Mountain, then cooperation is even more essential.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Without our guidance, you may never find its location in this vast Nethersea. This is not an exaggeration."

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Netherghost Emperor's tone remained calm, but his words carried weight. Shuang Jiang and Su Jingzhen exchanged another look.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">After hours of relentless travel without any sign of Death Mountain, Shuang Jiang had begun to suspect that Nethersea and Death Mountain were far more complex than the information they had obtained.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">It wasn't something a novice like Qin Tian could navigate with just a map. The secrets here were deeper than they had imagined.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"Fellow Daoist Shuang Jiang, the Nethersea ghost cultivators are not as fearsome as the rumors suggest. We have always kept to ourselves and quietly pursued the Dao.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Besides, we are still part of the Immortal Realm. However, the events unfolding in the Nethersea may have implications that extend beyond our world,"

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">The Netherghost Emperor's words struck a chord with Su Jingzhen.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">He immediately thought of the Starry Sky Demons.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">If they had infiltrated even the Sword Land so deeply, it was likely that the Nethersea, a place of chaos and darkness, would be even more vulnerable.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Su Jingzhen was almost certain that the Netherghost Emperor's concerns were related to the Starry Sky Demons.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">The situation had just become much more complicated.
