Urban Extraordinary Immortal Doctor-Chapter 2226: Fi
Two disciples from the Emperor’s Palace, both suffered severe damage to the Qi Sea, resulting in scattered Immortal Qi, with no battle strength left.
Such injuries, if adjusted in time, may still have a hope of recovery, but if time drags on, there will be no possibility of healing.
As Immortals of the Immortal Realm, when the Qi Sea is destroyed, unable to use mana or secret techniques, life would truly be worse than death.
"You mean those two Immortals!"
Upon hearing Fang Bai’s inquiry, the Wild Lion Immortal glanced contemptuously at those two disciples of the Emperor’s Palace and said dismissively, "They are remnants of Emperor’s Palace... Oh, Alchemist Fang is still young and probably doesn’t know about the Nine Heavens Immortal Emperor Palace?"
Fang Bai pretended to look bewildered and shook his head, saying, "Nine Heavens Immortal Emperor Palace? What kind of force is this?"
The Wild Lion Immortal said, "That was the most powerful force in the Immortal Realm a thousand years ago, its Palace Master titled War Emperor, commanding a hundred thousand disciples, all Immortals of the Immortal Realm trembled under his Immortal Might..."
"War Emperor..."
Fang Bai looked serene and longing, saying, "The title War Emperor... then the strength of that Palace Master must be extremely powerful!"
The Wild Lion Immortal laughed heartily and said arrogantly, "What good is being strong as the War Emperor? Didn’t he still fall at the hands of several Immortal Emperors?"
Fang Bai pretended to be puzzled and asked, "What does the Deputy City Lord mean by this?"
The Wild Lion Immortal was about to boast and tell Fang Bai about the glorious story of the eight Immortal Emperors joining forces to hunt down the War Emperor and destroy the Nine Heavens Immortal Emperor Palace a thousand years ago, but was interrupted by the nearby Ice Peak Immortal King.
"Wild Lion, don’t speak what shouldn’t be spoken, watch your mouth!"
The Ice Peak Immortal King glared at the Wild Lion Immortal, speaking expressionlessly.
Although the battle to annihilate the Emperor’s Palace passed a thousand years ago, for the eight Immortal Emperors, only by employing despicable means did they manage to kill the War Emperor.
This was ultimately not a glorious matter, hence after the Emperor’s Palace was destroyed, the eight Immortal Emperors had a tacit understanding not to mention it again, and most of the disciples under the eight Immortal Emperors also kept silent on this.
The Wild Lion Immortal was rough and lacked deep schemes, liked to show off, initially wanting to tell Fang Bai about the Emperor’s Palace’s destruction, but after being interrupted by the Ice Peak Immortal King, realized it was not suitable to be boastful about this matter, dryly laughed and kept quiet.
The Ice Peak Immortal King glanced at Fang Bai, seeing his face full of curiosity, apparently unaware of the battle that destroyed the Emperor’s Palace a thousand years ago, thus changing the topic, "Is Alchemist Fang satisfied staying at the City Lord Mansion?"
Fang Bai said, "Hmm, still alright! If your mansion could offer me richer rewards, I would feel more satisfied!"
The Ice Peak Immortal King smiled and said, "That’s easy. As long as Alchemist Fang diligently refines pills and artifacts for my City Lord Mansion, then in one or two years, I will add ten percent to your existing rewards! How does that sound?"
Behind Ice Emperor City stands the powerful backing of the Ice River Immortal Emperor, with immense cultivation resources accumulated, thinking as long as Fang Bai can stay long as a tribute in the mansion, it’s fine to give him more rewards.
Fang Bai was overwhelmed with joy, cupped his hands and said, "City Lord is generous! Thank you, thank you!"
After exchanging a few more words with the Ice Peak Immortal King, Fang Bai made an excuse to leave, before departing, he gave a meaningful glance at those two disciples of Emperor’s Palace.
Though heavily injured, those two disciples of Emperor’s Palace could hear and see, they actually saw a deep sense of concern in Fang Bai’s glance before he left.
Returning to the Pill Room, Fang Bai neither refined pills nor artifacts, nor entered into cultivation seclusion, but sat cross-legged, his Divine Sense diffusely spread, probing the situation of the two disciples of Emperor’s Palace captured by the Ice Peak Immortal King.
Earlier, during his conversation with the Ice Peak Immortal King, he learned that those two disciples of Emperor’s Palace would not face immediate life-threatening danger, but instead be sent to the Ice River Palace, where Ice River Immortal Emperor would deal with them.
Although the Emperor’s Palace was destroyed a thousand years ago, many disciples from the palace managed to escape and conceal themselves, and Ice River Immortal Emperor, one of the main forces against Fang Bai and the destruction of the palace, always feared these hidden disciples might rise again, thus has not spared efforts to hunt down the remnants of Emperor’s Palace over the centuries.
Ice River Immortal Emperor had instructed all factions under her control to send any captured disciples of Nine Heavens Immortal Emperor Palace to Ice River Palace for personal handling.
Though the Emperor’s Palace has been annihilated for a thousand years, the forces that have escaped and concealed are still not to be underestimated, Ice River Immortal Emperor would only feel secure upon witnessing each disciple of the Emperor’s Palace fall.
The two captured disciples of the Emperor’s Palace were temporarily detained in a side hall next to the City Lord’s Hall, guarded by an elder of City Lord Mansion along with two stewards.
Two disciples from the Emperor’s Palace whose Qi Sea was severely damaged, almost like abolished Immortals, were guarded by a Ninth Grade Immortal Venerable Realm elder and two Seventh Grade Immortal Venerable Realm stewards, showcasing the Ice Peak Immortal King’s importance on this matter.
To avoid unexpected accidents, the Ice Peak Immortal King planned to personally escort those two disciples of Emperor’s Palace to Ice River Palace to present them to Ice River Immortal Emperor early the next morning.
The next morning, Fang Bai left City Lord Mansion with Xiao Ping, claiming to practice in the mountain area outside the city.
Recently, Fang Bai and Xiao Ping often left the City Lord Mansion with the same excuse, so the Immortals of the mansion were used to it and didn’t think much of it.
Shortly after Fang Bai left, the Ice Peak Immortal King also departed with two elders of City Lord Mansion, riding a Fifth Grade Immortal Venerable Realm Immortal Roc flying towards Ice River Palace.
Sitting at the front of the Immortal Roc, the Ice Peak Immortal King appeared particularly calm, but ripples surged in her heart.
Thinking of presenting those two disciples of Emperor’s Palace to her master Ice River Immortal Emperor, rejoicing could mean guidance on her cultivation level or rewarding a portion of cultivation resources, a trace of smile surfaced at the corner of Ice Peak Immortal King’s mouth.
Immortal Roc’s speed was extremely fast, flying for thousands of miles within a day, reaching the skies above the Fiery Flame Desert.
The Fiery Flame Desert is said to be formed when a powerful Immortal overturned an Immortal furnace while refining pills, leading to the explosion of the furnace fire, creating today’s area of a hundred thousand miles.
The temperature within Fiery Flame Desert is extremely high, the ground cracks over hundreds and thousands of feet wide, nothing grows or survives there, even Immortal Qi thins significantly, regarded as dead land by the Immortals of the Immortal Realm.
The Immortal Roc of Fifth Grade Immortal Venerable Realm seemed to also dread Fiery Flame Desert, and upon reaching here, it shrieked and elevated its flying height a thousand feet to prevent the desert’s scorching heat from affecting its flight.
While flying over the Fiery Flame Desert’s depths, the Ice Peak Immortal King suddenly sensed a strong evil qi rising into the sky.
"That is..."
The Ice Peak Immortal King’s heart stirred, she scanned with her Divine Sense, discovering in the low-lying land spanning thousands of feet within the desert, an Ownerless Blood Saber.
The saber was about five feet long, its entirety dyed like fresh blood, reflecting dazzling crimson light, the strong evil qi the Ice Peak Immortal King sensed earlier emanated from the blade.
