The Hero of a Cool Novel? I, the Villain, Will Kill You!

15: The furious Beihan Immortal Lord was completely humiliated.”Ye Changsheng, you Rebellious Disciple!”

”I ordered you to take the ransom to rescue your Sixth Prince!”

”You actually dared to secretly embezzle the ransom, causing you and your Sixth Prince to be captured and detained by the Primordial Emperor Son!”

”Truly selfish, utterly foolish! Incapable of success, and prone to failure!”

”I have raised you all for many years, only to raise a bunch of ungrateful ingrates!”

Ye Langtian was furious, looking in the direction of the Primordial Beginning Immortal Domain.

He wished he could rush over now and throw his eldest son, Ye Changsheng, and his sixth son, Ye Chen, into a cesspit to vent his anger.

The Immortal Official who had rushed to report couldn’t help but shrink his neck, his heart filled with fear, afraid that the Immortal Lord would vent his anger on him.

He tremblingly clasped his fists: ”Immortal Lord, what should we do now? Do we really have to follow the Primordial Emperor Son’s demands and have Your Majesty personally go to ransom them?”

”Go, why wouldn’t I go! Do you want me and the Heavenly Emperor to go to war directly?”

”Do you think the Northern Cold Immortal Region has the strength to rival the Primordial Beginning Immortal Domain?” Ye Langtian glared at the Immortal Official and flicked his sleeves, departing.

He needed to go to the Northern Cold Immortal Court’s national treasury to see if there were enough High Grade Immortal Artifacts and High Grade Immortal Crystals to ransom them.

It wasn’t that he was unwilling to sacrifice those two Rebellious Disciples and go to war with the Heavenly Court, but rather that the Primordial Beginning Immortal Domain’s strength was too great, so great that the Northern Cold Immortal Region could only look up to it.

Although the other four Immortal Domains each had an Immortal Court overlord, they all shared a common understanding: avoid offending the central Primordial Beginning Immortal Domain if possible.

Because the Heavenly Emperor controlled the Immortal Realm’s Heavenly Dao, it was truly the official power of the Immortal Realm; they were like four regional lords, establishing their own domains.

”Alas!”

The Immortal Official sighed seeing the Immortal Lord leave, and hurriedly followed behind.

Not long after... Ye Langtian had already returned to the Northern Cold Imperial Capital by shrinking the ground into inches, and he directly returned to the imperial palace, heading to the national treasury.

The Northern Cold national treasury had specialized powerful cultivators guarding it, though their cultivation was weaker than the Immortal Lord’s, only at the Quasi Immortal Emperor Realm.

In front of the national treasury, shrouded in Chaos mist, an old man in splendid robes sat under a towering ancient tree, sipping wine.

Suddenly.

He saw Ye Langtian approaching from afar, first stunneding for a moment, then quickly rising to greet him, ”Your Majesty the Immortal Lord, why have you come to the national treasury?”

”Old Xing, I am here, of course, for those useless beasts!”

Ye Langtian arrived in front of the national treasury, smiling bitterly.

Xing Shiyuan’s cloudy eyes shifted, his thoughts racing, deducing the fate of Ye Changsheng and Ye Chen, and he sighed faintly:

”Your Majesty, the First Prince already came yesterday to take two High Grade Immortal Artifacts and one hundred million High Grade Immortal Crystals!”

”Currently, the national treasury only has two High Grade Immortal Artifacts and one point five billion High Grade Immortal Crystals left.”

”If you wish to rescue the First Prince and the Sixth Prince, we are still short three High Grade Immortal Artifacts!”

Xing Shiyuan lamented repeatedly; the national treasury’s resource income in Northern Cold was worse each year.

Ultimately, many resources were withheld and kept by the six princes and their maternal clans under various pretexts.

He had reported this to Ye Langtian many times.

But Ye Langtian had never taken it seriously, and now, needing to ransom the First Prince and Sixth Prince, the lack of High Grade Immortal Artifacts was incredibly awkward.

”This...” Ye Langtian was speechless; the vast Northern Cold national treasury couldn’t gather five High Grade Immortal Artifacts?

He already understood what was happening; most likely, those useless sons had taken them away under various excuses again.

”Old Xing, do you have any...” Ye Langtian’s words were cut short.

Xing Shiyuan directly shook his head, ”Your Majesty, the resources in this old man’s spatial ring have long been swindled away by several princes!”

”Now, this old man only has his vital items left, no High Grade Immortal Artifacts. You’d better ask someone else!”

With that, Xing Shiyuan opened the national treasury’s gate and leisurely walked away with his hands behind his back.

Regarding Ye Langtian’s current predicament.

He had warned him long ago that if he had established an Imperial Son as heir earlier, how would other princes dare to intercept national treasury income?

Ye Langtian’s expression was unnatural, and he also understood that he had indulged his six princes too much, otherwise, he wouldn’t be in such a difficult situation.

”Forget it, I will personally pay out of my own pocket to redeem those two beasts, and then I will marry an Imperial Consort and cultivate new heirs.”

”Six Rebellious Disciples, I must severely punish you!”

Ye Langtian sighed deeply and walked into the national treasury to retrieve some resources, finally adding a bit of his own.

Meanwhile... in the Primordial Beginning Immortal Domain.

The news that Wang Qing had declared that the Northern Cold Immortal Lord must personally come to ransom the people had spread throughout the entire Immortal Realm.

All the great Immortal Domains were gossiping, eager to know if the Northern Cold Immortal Lord would go to redeem his eldest son and sixth son.

At Yaochi Heavenly Mountain.

Mu Bingxuan had returned to the Jade Pool Great Hall yesterday, and after hearing this news, she was very helpless.

She had just gone to the Northern Cold Immortal Region yesterday to snatch Ascension miners, and today Wang Qing released news, asking the Northern Cold Immortal Lord to come to ransom people.

In this comparison, she felt that her methods were truly insignificant compared to Wang Qing’s.

”Bastard, Wang Qing, you are truly a bastard, can’t you just let me have this one!”

”Let me prove that I’m better than you! Not even once is allowed?”

Mu Bingxuan gritted her teeth, a helpless and bitter smile appearing on her delicate face.

She had transformed from the Jade Pool Empress into the Primordial Emperor Son’s Consort, but her arrogance had not diminished one bit, even becoming more rampant than before.

She wanted to prove that she was stronger than Wang Qing, and not be constantly manipulated by that bastard in bed.

”Sect Master, Chu Mengqin, the successor of the Profound Maiden Palace in the Eastern Cold Immortal Domain, is yelling outside the mountain gate, demanding that you hand over the antidote for poisoning Lin Fan!”

Suddenly, Zhou Rong rushed into the hall, respectfully reporting.

Mu Bingxuan was stunned, very perplexed.

The Profound Maiden Palace was the largest force in the Eastern Cold Immortal Domain, besides the Eastern Han Immortal Court!

It was equivalent to how, in the Primordial Beginning Immortal Domain, besides the Primordial Heavenly Court, the Jade Pool Immortal Palace was the largest force.

Of course, the Profound Maiden Palace and the Eastern Han Immortal Court were at odds, like mortal enemies.

Therefore, the Eastern Cold Immortal Domain could be said to have two overlords, one not submitting to the other, both wanting to be the boss.

And the Jade Pool Immortal Palace existed by relying on the official power of the Heavenly Court, never having the thought of rebellion.

Because Mu Bingxuan understood a principle: it’s good to lean on a big tree for shade.

With her cold personality, she naturally disliked such scheming thoughts.

”Chu Mengqin is asking for an antidote for Lin Fan, that Rebellious Disciple? I’d like to see where a junior like her gets the guts to cause trouble in the Primordial Beginning Immortal Domain.”

Mu Bingxuan rose, her figure curvaceous and perfect, her ice-blue long dress flowing, her fair, beautiful legs faintly visible, making one unable to resist.

She stepped down from the high platform and walked out of the hall.

Zhou Rong blinked her beautiful eyes and followed her out.

Outside the Jade Pool Immortal Palace’s mountain gate, on a spacious grassy area, a colossal boat floated in mid-air.

Immortal mist curled all around, and gentle breezes blew, making the banners rustle.

Beneath the banner pole stood a youthful and charming woman in a red dress.

She was Chu Mengqin, the successor of the Profound Maiden Palace, possessing the Middle Stage Golden Immortal Realm cultivation.

Almost all of the younger generation in the Immortal Realm were stuck at this Realm.
