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

35: Shocking news, news Wang Qing didn’t knowAt the same time… Eastern Han Imperial Palace.

The court assembly in the Immortal Lord Hall had ended. Immortal Lord Jiang Qing looked at the civil and military officials, and at Jiang Zheng Long, Great General, who was kneeling, spitting blood, and unable to rise.

His face was filled with fury, and he roared repeatedly!

“Issue the Eastern Evil Order to capture Ye Chen! Announce to the Northern Cold Immortal Region that the Eastern Cold Immortal Domain will fight them to the death and never associate with them again!”

Immortal Lord Jiang Qing’s anger was ceaseless.

In the center of the hall, every official bowed their heads, not daring to provoke the Immortal Lord’s wrath.

They had just been discussing the imminent opening of the Tianyuan Secret Realm and how to deal with the remnants of the Tianyuan Clan.

The Immortal Officials had all noticed what happened in the Western District and had wanted to intervene and teach Ye Chen a lesson.

However, Immortal Lord Jiang Qing had only ordered General Jiang Zheng Long, Great General to send a projection to deal with Ye Chen, while they continued the court assembly to discuss the Tianyuan Secret Realm.

Good times didn’t last. Just as the discussion about the Tianyuan Secret Realm concluded, Jiang Zheng Long, Great General’s projection in the Western District was annihilated, leaving him severely injured and kneeling.

Immortal Lord Jiang Qing’s fury was nothing but impotent rage.

He looked down on Ye Chen, a mere Golden Immortal. Even if Ye Chen had a fortuitous encounter and possessed Immortal King power, he was still a clown.

Then… then he was slapped in the face by Ye Chen, and it was a very loud slap at that.

“His Majesty the Immortal Lord, Ye Chen is not terrifying. What is terrifying is that he has an Immortal Emperor Primordial Spirit behind him!”

“This subordinate was just severely wounded by an Immortal Emperor Primordial Spirit, and my projection was swallowed by dense black mist!”

Jiang Zheng Long, Great General struggled to raise his head, his eyes filled with terror and confusion.

The number of Immortal Emperors in the Eastern Cold Immortal Domain could be counted on one hand. The black-gold imperial robe phantom he had just seen was clearly not one of the old Immortal Emperor monsters from the Eastern Cold Immortal Domain.

Excluding that possibility, it could only mean that there was a powerful expert from the Northern Cold Immortal Region protecting Ye Chen.

However, Jiang Zheng Long, Great General was truly perplexed as to why Ye Chen, a bastard son of the Northern Cold Imperial Family, would have such a high-level ceiling of combat power like an Immortal Emperor protecting him.

“Immortal Emperor Primordial Spirit…” Immortal Lord Jiang Qing frowned, and myriad star rivers flashed in his majestic eyes. He already had a faint guess.

The civil and military officials also lowered their heads in thought, their hearts filled with shock.

Immortal Emperor Primordial Spirit?

An Immortal Emperor from the Northern Cold Immortal Region descended upon the Eastern Cold Immortal Domain? What did they want to do? Did they intend to provoke a war between the two great Immortal Domains?

“Report…”

“His Majesty the Immortal Lord, Ye Chen has left the Imperial Capital and is now destroying other Immortal Cities. Many Immortal Official families have suffered heavy casualties!”

Inside the hall, an urgent report came.

A man in golden armor quickly entered the Immortal Lord Hall, bowed his head, and presented a list—it was a detailed list of the damages suffered by the ancient cities under the Eastern Han Immortal Court.

“Useless! You are all a bunch of useless people!”

“You can’t even deal with a mere Golden Immortal. What good are you to this Immortal Emperor?!”

Immortal Lord Jiang Qing was utterly furious. A mysterious flame surged from his palm, instantly incinerating the list in his hand.

The Immortal Lord Hall fell silent again. The atmosphere was extremely oppressive, as they feared being crushed to death by Immortal Lord Jiang Qing.

“Summon the First Prince and tell him to have his maternal clan’s forces act. This Immortal Emperor wants to see Ye Chen’s head within five days!”

Immortal Lord Jiang Qing commanded coldly, then stormed out of the Immortal Lord Hall in a fit of rage.

The person who came to report seemed to have thought of something!

He hurriedly reported to Immortal Lord Jiang Qing’s departing back, “His Majesty the Immortal Lord, the First Prince has gone to the border and has not yet returned!”

“The Tianyuan Secret Realm is about to open. What is that rebellious son doing at the border?” Immortal Lord Jiang Qing stopped at the hall entrance, turned, and questioned with displeasure.

“Your Majesty, this subordinate also doesn’t know what the First Prince went to do!” The reporting person lowered his head, not daring to look directly at the Immortal Lord.

Immortal Lord Jiang Qing was silent for a moment, then once again commanded majestically: “Tell that rebellious son to return quickly and order his maternal clan’s forces to capture Ye Chen!”

“If he cannot take down Ye Chen within five days, the position of Imperial Son will no longer be his!”

Immortal Lord Jiang Qing’s face was grim. He coldly issued the order and left without looking back.

The civil and military officials looked at each other, feeling very helpless.

They shook their heads and also walked out of the Immortal Lord Hall, preparing to return to their respective factions to see if they had been harmed by Ye Chen.

Only Jiang Zheng Long, Great General struggled for a while. His injuries had improved slightly, and he slowly got up, holding his chest as he walked out of the hall.

He looked out beyond the Eastern Cold Imperial Capital, his face filled with melancholy, sighing repeatedly in his heart, afraid that the First Prince would be killed by the Immortal Emperor Primordial Spirit behind Ye Chen… In the great battle that had just occurred within the Imperial Capital, many Immortals looked at the Western District, where blood flowed like a river, their hearts filled with dread and unease.

“Alas, why has that bastard son of the Northern Cold Imperial Family suddenly become so powerful, even able to annihilate the Great General’s projection?”

“He has escaped now; the Eastern Cold Immortal Domain is probably going to change!”

In the areas not affected by the battle, the laments of various Immortal races resounded.

An enemy possessing Immortal King power was like a walking nightmare for the Eastern Han Immortal Court.

If the Immortal Court sent powerful experts to siege, he could escape into the river of time. When the Immortal Court relaxed its vigilance, he would reappear and attack weak points.

Ye Chen was that kind of enemy who wouldn’t engage in a head-on fight but would instead create chaos, a powerful foe.

Such unpredictable attack methods were enough to plunge the Eastern Cold Immortal Domain into great panic.

Blood Spirit Manor.

A pavilion rose from the ground, soaring into the clouds, on the top floor corridor.

Wang Qing, in a moon-white robe, with white hair, hands clasped behind his back, overlooked the panic-stricken scene of the Imperial Capital, quite satisfied.

He had just used his Immortal Emperor Primordial Spirit to annihilate Jiang Zheng Long, Great General’s projection, helping Ye Chen escape.

But he had no good intentions. Instead, he had planted a Netherworld Demonic Seed inside Ye Chen’s body.

Every day, the Immortal King power within Ye Chen would rampage, causing him to become demonized and attack everyone indiscriminately.

This would completely throw the Eastern Cold Immortal Domain into chaos, and Wang Qing would only need to reap the benefits.

“Immortal Lord Jiang Qing, since you want to use this Young Master as a whetstone for your dozen or so imperial descendants!”

“This Young Master accepts, but you might not be able to bear the price!”

Wang Qing laughed heartily, his deep eyes containing myriad starlight.

Time passed… Ten days later.

One morning, Wang Qing was in a secluded courtyard, hunched over, studying the Star Chessboard left by Tianji Zi.

Suddenly.

“Thump-thump-thump!”

A series of footsteps sounded, attracting Wang Qing’s attention. He turned to look and saw two incredibly beautiful women arriving.

One was Mu Bingxuan, dressed in an ice-blue long dress.

The other was Shui Xi, dressed in a seven-colored glazed ruqun, the Ethereal Forbidden Master of the Piaomiao Forbidden Zone.

He looked stunned, rubbed his eyes hard, and subconsciously asked, “Bingxuan, why are you here? And why are you with the Ethereal Forbidden Master?”

Wang Qing was very confused.

He had met Shui Xi a few times when he was young in the Grandmist Sea, so he naturally knew her identity.

But how could Mu Bingxuan, the sect master of the Jade Pool Immortal Palace in the Immortal Realm, be involved with such a prominent figure as Shui Xi?

“She is my best friend. I am the Heavenly Maiden of the Piaomiao Forbidden Zone.” Mu Bingxuan did not hide her identity.

She wanted to see if Wang Qing knew about the marriage alliance between the Piaomiao Forbidden Zone and the Taboo Wang Family.

However, seeing Wang Qing’s stunned expression, she already understood what was going on.

She estimated that before Wang Qing went into seclusion in the Grandmist Sea, the Piaomiao Forbidden Zone and the Taboo Wang Family had not yet formed a marriage alliance.

That is to say, Wang Qing had no idea that he and Mu Bingxuan had already been betrothed.

“What? You are the Piaomiao Heavenly Maiden of the Piaomiao Forbidden Zone?” This time, Wang Qing couldn’t maintain his composure.

He had always appeared confident, with absolute control over everything.

Now that Mu Bingxuan had dropped such a shocking piece of news, he felt it was incredibly absurd!

The woman he had imprisoned for three months for Dual Cultivation was the Piaomiao Heavenly Maiden? Could it get any more outrageous than this?!
