Urban Undying Lord-Chapter 1600 - 1619: Hostage

Time flows like water, fleeting in an instant.

Every day, Ye Xuan meditated on the sixth Small Cauldron, hoping to comprehend the opportunities within, and hoping even more for the Forbidden Heavenly Technique contained within the sixth Small Cauldron. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

However, Ye Xuan did not know that a crisis was silently approaching.

...

Undying Heavenly Palace!

All things dormant, oppressively silent.

The Undying Heavenly Lord sat cross-legged in mid-air, dressed in black, his expression devoid of happiness or sorrow, yet when his eyes occasionally opened and closed, a dense murderous intent flickered within.

"Lord, the people have been brought back."

The sound of footsteps came from outside, and the Undying Lord and several Immortals escorted two prisoners into the Heavenly Palace.

If Ye Xuan were here, he would surely recognize these two prisoners as Primordial Spirit and Luo Hou.

"Raise your heads." The Undying Heavenly Lord spoke coldly.

"Salute... Salute the Heavenly Lord."

Primordial Spirit and Luo Hou were pale-faced, bowing respectfully to the Undying Heavenly Lord.

It should be known that they were once members of the Undying Heavenly Palace and had even been ordered by the Undying Heavenly Lord to hunt Pangu, leading to the later Primordial World.

"What good deeds you have done."

Bam!

The Undying Heavenly Lord roared coldly, slamming the cloud desk in front of him into pieces, fearsome murderous intent overflowing, causing Primordial Spirit and Luo Hou to tremble inwardly.

In their hearts, the Undying Heavenly Lord was too majestic, a figure they inherently feared, a supreme power through the ages. Now captured and returned to the Undying Heavenly Palace, they were prepared for soul scattering.

Originally, Ye Xuan had caused chaos in the Undying Heavenly Palace with the Heavenly Tribulation Transformation, and the Undying Heavenly Lord could do nothing to Ye Xuan.

The Undying Heavenly Lord devised a sinister plan, instructing several Immortals to capture Primordial Spirit and Luo Hou, who were associated with Ye Xuan.

Primordial Spirit and Luo Hou had been in seclusion in the Jiqing Heavenly Palace, and logically, with the Lord of Extreme Emotion overseeing it, the Immortals should not have been able to capture them and return them to the Undying Heavenly Palace.

Unfortunately, the Lord of Extreme Emotion too required cultivation and could not always be in the Jiqing Heavenly Palace. The Immortals seized an opportunity to infiltrate the palace, easily capturing the two and bringing them back.

"You two now send a message to Ye Xuan, telling him to come here immediately."

The Undying Heavenly Lord spoke with sinister intent, intending to use the two as hostages. If Ye Xuan did not hand over the Void-breaking Heavenly Cauldron, he would kill the two.

"If the Heavenly Lord wants to kill, then kill. We really do not know where Ye Xuan is," declared Primordial Spirit, pale-faced yet refusing.

Not because Primordial Spirit had deep feelings for Ye Xuan, but because Ye Xuan had grown to this point and had become Primordial Spirit’s greatest pride.

Primordial Spirit was Ye Xuan’s enlightenment teacher, a guide in his life, a sentiment only he understood.

His life was too mediocre, with Ye Xuan being his greatest pride. Even facing death, he did not want Ye Xuan to perish on the path to becoming a supreme power through the ages.

"You little ant, you have quite some backbone. Do you really think I don’t dare to kill you?"

Boom!

The Undying Heavenly Lord’s face showed fury, his Supreme Dharma Eyes glinting terrifyingly. Primordial Spirit rose into the air, his body terrifyingly swelling, as if about to explode on the spot.

"Undying Heavenly Lord, if you want to kill, then kill."

Faced with the Undying Heavenly Lord’s murderous intent, Primordial Spirit was ready to die. He endured the agony of his body about to explode, angrily shouting at the Undying Heavenly Lord.

Bam!

Suddenly, Primordial Spirit was ruthlessly slammed to the ground, yet the Undying Heavenly Lord did not take his life.

"You little ant really has backbone; rest assured, I will not kill you. If you die, how can I suppress and kill that scum, Ye Xuan?" the Undying Heavenly Lord declared coldly.

"Bring them and hang them above the Heavenly Gate, roasting with the Sun Moon Divine Fire day and night, until Ye Xuan comes to rescue them." commanded the Undying Heavenly Lord.

"As you command, Heavenly Lord."

The Immortals all bowed, then directly carried Primordial Spirit and Luo Hou out of the Heavenly Palace.

"Ye Xuan, unless you don’t care about their lives, the moment you dare to appear, I will tear you to pieces," the Undying Heavenly Lord muttered darkly.

That day, news spread from the Undying Heavenly Palace that two traitors were hung above the Heavenly Gate, roasted with Divine Fire day and night to warn the world.

This news spread rapidly across the entire Central Domain, making the names of Primordial Spirit and Luo Hou known to everyone.

Yet the Daoist Sects and Great Sects were puzzled; why did the Undying Heavenly Palace, just having suffered a massacre, make such a notable example of these small figures?

...

Elsewhere!

Over the vast clouds, the Heavenly Vault was silent.

Ye Xuan continued to meditate on the sixth Small Cauldron, but his brows were furrowed, unable to find any clues.

And he had already spent ten years, though in his lengthy cultivation journey it was not much; yet, sitting and contemplating the Small Cauldron was indeed making him extremely restless.

Swoosh!

Suddenly, a beam of Spiritual Light broke through the space, appearing before him, snapping Ye Xuan back to reality, a Communication Jade Scroll appearing in his hand.

"Extreme Emotion?"

Ye Xuan’s expression slightly changed, quickly examining the contents of the Jade Scroll.

Soon, the Jade Scroll turned to ashes in Ye Xuan’s hand, his expression growing extremely cold, then he put away the Small Cauldron and vanished as a streak of rainbow light.

...

On the peak of Duanyun Mountain!

The Lord of Extreme Emotion, Ye Qingmei, stood there, gazing at the steaming sea of clouds below, seemingly lost in thought.

Swoosh!

Ye Xuan silently appeared behind the Lord of Extreme Emotion, drawing her attention back, and she turned to look at Ye Xuan.

"Sir, it is Qingmei’s failure for not protecting those two," the Lord of Extreme Emotion said apologetically.

"What is their current situation?" Ye Xuan asked calmly.

"The Undying Heavenly Lord uses Divine Fire day and night to roast the two of them; his goal is to lure you out, but rest assured, I will personally demand their return, and you must not fall for his trickery," Ye Qingmei replied.

"You’re not his match!"

Ye Xuan shook his head slowly, having experienced much; he had a deep understanding of the level of supreme power through the ages.

Although the Lord of Extreme Emotion was supreme, she was the weakest among the Ten Supreme Powers. Even if she went personally to rescue the two, she could not take them from the Undying Heavenly Lord.

"Rest assured, even though I am no match for him, it should not be too difficult to rescue those two."

"I called you here to remind you not to act rashly; you must not fall for the Undying Heavenly Lord’s trickery," Ye Qingmei advised.

Ye Xuan could see that hint of emotion in the eyes of the Lord of Extreme Emotion, but Ye Xuan knew this time was different from the past.

He had seized the Void-breaking Heavenly Cauldron from the Undying Heavenly Lord and had schemed against him heavily. The Undying Heavenly Lord had taken Primordial Spirit and Luo Hou hostage to force him to appear.

Even if the Lord of Extreme Emotion and the Undying Heavenly Lord went to war, he would not let the two go. Only by coming forward himself could he truly rescue them.

"Primordial Spirit is my master; I cannot stand by and watch him die for me, and I have been friends with Luo Hou for many years. I cannot ignore this," Ye Xuan said solemnly.

Hearing Ye Xuan’s words, the Lord of Extreme Emotion frowned slightly. She knew the resolve in Ye Xuan’s decisions would not change, no matter how much she tried to persuade him.
