Chapter 1585: Imperial Immortal Palace



Chapter 1585: Imperial Immortal Palace

The moment Lan Shenyong was defeated, the surroundings sank into silence. Lan Shenyong was an immortal child of the Immortal Road Chamber. Although he was ranked at the bottom, there was no doubt that he was a strong individual. His defeat at Xiang Shaoyun’s hands was a testament to Xiang Shaoyun’s strength.

The Immortal Road Chamber members had unsightly expressions, with Liu Jiaohong even looking slightly fearful. She was the one who had egged on Lan Shenyong to fight Xiang Shaoyun. Now that Lan Shenyong had been defeated, she would not be able to escape the consequences if the chamber investigated the entire event.

“Xiang Shaoyun, for daring to injure Young Master Lan, the Immortal Road Chamber will not let this slide,” threatened someone from the Immortal Road Chamber before hurriedly leaving with Lan Shenyong.

They had thoroughly embarrassed themselves. There were definitely some Guangling Palace and Celestial Alliance members watching. Thus, they had to take their revenge, or they would be reduced into a laughing stock. Xiang Shaoyun did not seem bothered by the threat. He no longer needed to fear even Gods. Why would he be afraid of such threats?

“You can all leave first. I plan to spend some time on the ring,” said Xiang Shaoyun to his companions.

Even with his terrifying combat strength, he believed that he needed even more tempering. After spending several years in secluded cultivation, he needed some combat to properly adapt to his new strength. Yu Caidie, Devil Concubine, Liu Qingchen, and the others knew that Xiang Shaoyun’s mind was set. Thus, they did not persuade him against challenging the arena.

Due to the impressiveness Xiang Shaoyun had displayed and his consecutive victories over the members of the Immortal Road Chamber, nobody dared to challenge him for a while. Fortunately, the city was filled with experts due to the Heaven Battling Ranking Competition. Thus, as time passed, many overconfident individuals challenged Xiang Shaoyun. However, all of them were easily defeated.

Of course, Xiang Shaoyun did not harm their lives. By going easy against his opponent the moment his victory was certain, all his opponents wholeheartedly accepted their defeat. In three days, Xiang Shaoyun had defeated 50 Heaven Battling Realm experts in a row. The speed at which he had defeated so many opponents set a new record in the Immortal Arena.

One ought to know that a battle between Heaven Battling Realm cultivators could easily last hours. A battle between evenly matched opponents could even last days. However, Xiang Shaoyun had defeated his opponents as easily as taking a walk at the park, displaying terrifying combat strength.

All the Overlord Legion members became incomparably excited. They felt proud of him, and their sole wish was to let the world know that he was their leader. As Xiang Shaoyun won match after match, his fame started spreading yet again.

The Imperial Immortal Palace was a luxurious palace that many dreamt of visiting. However, only the Immortal Dynasty’s high officials and important individuals were able to enter the palace. Apart from having the required status, one also needed to be at the Heaven Battling Realm before one could enter.

Seated atop a golden dragon throne was an imposing man who looked to be about 30 years old. He was clad in a gold brocade robe emblazoned with dragon and phoenix designs and had a majestic temperament. His imposing aura made it difficult for anyone to look straight at him. He was none other than the current emperor of the Immortal Dynasty.

Before him stood about a dozen princes and princesses, who were all remarkably talented cultivators. None of them was older than 200 years old, and the youngest was about 50 years old. Despite their young age, all of them were top-tier Heaven Battling Realm cultivators. Their strength was a demonstration of the imperial clan’s strength. These princes and princesses would definitely grow into the clan’s future pillars.

“How many matches has that kid won?” asked the emperor.

“He’s at 66 victories. If this continues, he will probably achieve 100 consecutive victories in a few days,” answered one of the princes impatiently.

“The young are becoming more and more outstanding,” said the emperor with a sigh. He looked at the princes and princesses and asked, “What do you have in mind?”

“Father, I’m willing to challenge and defeat him,” offered the prince who had previously replied. He was the fourth prince and was among the stronger ones of the princes and princesses. However, he was rash and bold yet lacked intelligence.

“I’m willing to challenge him as well,” offered a different prince.

The emperor did not say anything. He maintained a flat expression, but traces of disappointment flickered in his eyes.

“I think we can recruit him,” said the second prince after giving it some thought. “With the strength of our Immortal Dynasty, we can help him reach an even greater height. I believe he will agree if we can promise him the position of a first-rate guardian in the future.”

The emperor nodded, but he still refrained from saying anything.

At this time, the first prince said, “Someone like this can’t be recruited easily. In my opinion, the best choice is to tie him to us by marriage. Perhaps that will be the only way to rope him in. However, this is not that good of a plan either. I’m afraid my other imperial sisters will have a hard time winning his heart unless ninth sister is willing to do it. After all, he has no lack of women.”

His gaze then landed on one of the princesses. That princess was dressed in a seven-colored muslin outfit that perfectly accentuated her excellent figure. Her delicate face was decorated by a pair of eyes as beautiful as gems. Those eyes could stun anyone looking at them. Before those pair of eyes, nothing in the world seemed beautiful anymore. She was the number one beauty of the Immortal Dynasty, He Caiyi.

She was akin to an ethereal fairy, and the slight glow on her gorgeous outfit made her look even more dazzling. She was most definitely comparable to Yu Caidie and Devil Concubine in terms of looks. In fact, she even surpassed them in certain aspects.

“First brother, do you intend for me to capture Xiang Shaoyun?” asked He Caiyi with an enchanting smile on her face.

“Xiang Shaoyun is a peerless genius who has successfully combined nine powers to forge the strongest physique. I’m afraid only a perfect woman like you is worthy of being with him. Apart from you, dear sister, I can’t think of anyone in our dynasty who will be able to win his heart,” said the first prince with a wise look in his eyes.

Finally, a pleased smile formed on the emperor’s face as he said, “The first prince is right. If Xiang Shaoyun is a nobody, there won’t be a need for us to spare him any attention. However, he is Deputy Guild Master Ge Yi’s direct disciple. Someone like him is worth roping in. Even if we can’t make him join us, we need to at least win his friendship. With the coming chaos, having an additional friend is much preferred over having an additional enemy.”

“Imperial father, he has offended our Immortal Road Chamber!” said the fourth prince impatiently.

“Watch your words. It’s your Immortal Road Chamber, not our Immortal Road Chamber,” said the emperor, displeased.
