Chapter 3685: Chapter 1792: Offense
"Have the people from the Yunshan Emperor Realm gone mad?"
A single phrase, "Bear the consequences," echoed across thousands of miles.
Everyone on Yingke Peak, whether they were servants sweeping the paths, guards watching the mountain, or the families neighboring the Cold Palace Emperor Realm, heard it.
Everyone was shocked beyond belief.
After the shock came uncontrollable anger, almost igniting the noble blood of the Cold Palace Emperor Realm:
"What an arrogant tone from the Cloud Mountain Envoy!"
"Don’t the Yunshan people have any self-awareness, who gave them the courage to dare send an elder to see our Holy Emperor?"
"In my opinion, the visitor must have bad intentions..."
"Never mind the intentions, just because of those few words, we should apprehend him, beat him thoroughly, and then cast him into the cold prison. We should summon the Yunshan Saint Emperor, and unless he comes personally, we won’t release him!"
"Exactly! Isn’t it like there are no tigers in the mountain and the monkeys act up? They clearly know our Holy Emperor is in seclusion, and they want to come to our Cold Palace and show off, taking advantage of the momentum from beheading the Kun Peng Holy Emperor. It’s simply outrageous!"
"Lawlessness, ignoring all rules, deserving death!"
"The Yunshan rubbish, truly disgusting!"
"A storm is brewing... Quick! Quickly go to Tingyu Pavilion and invite Young Master Li..."
Despite the anger, there are still many rational people in the Cold Palace Emperor Realm.
Everyone knows, even if our Holy Emperor was not in seclusion now, it’s impossible to lower his status to meet a mere little elder from another tribe due to these few words.
Thus, if this matter is to be settled.
Ultimately, it requires someone of status lower than the Holy Emperor but higher than the elder to handle it, and that falls on the Young Family Master, Young Master Li.
"I’m just worried that Yunshan’s Punishment Hall Elder, Hua Zhiyao, isn’t here to discuss matters, but rather to stir trouble..."
"What’s there to be afraid of? Discussion is fine, but if it’s trouble, we’ll kill!"
"The Yunshan Saint Emperor has gained great momentum after directly ascending the winds, further beheading the Kun Peng Holy Emperor. He’s quite formidable these days, but their tribe fears him, yet we of the Cold Palace don’t fear him at all!"
A maid from Tingyu Pavilion received the communication, and had to end her vacation early, locating Yue Gongli who was drinking wine and listening to music in the pavilion.
Yue Gongli had left the barren mountains half a year ago.
His self-destruction at that time caused quite a stir within the family.
But it wasn’t mainly about the self-destruction itself, rather during that period, some chaos occurred within the Cold Palace Emperor Realm.
His big sister in the cold prison vanished!
This affair is as large as it sounds but also appears trivial; upon coming out of seclusion, Yue Gongli immediately suppressed the news.
He did not offer any further explanation.
Soon, people from the Cold Palace Emperor Realm dared not discuss it any longer.
Occasionally when mentioned, it would only be considered a strategic move by Young Master Li before the coming storms and upheaval.
Usually, the pieces within his own family are not ones Yue Gongli would play; he later privately traced some clues.
He roughly guessed it was Dao Qiongcang causing trouble.
Or perhaps Dao Qiongcang using his sister Dao Xuanji’s hand to set her up.
However, taking the big sister from the cold prison aligned with Yue Gongli’s intentions; the only regret was that Dao Qiongcang...
Dao Qiongcang is someone Yue Gongli now does not want to encounter—after rebuilding his physique post self-destruction, he still feels tainted.
Nothing on a psychological level could wash clean.
Yet, the child’s debts must be repaid by the father!
This matter reached this point, coincidentally the Holy God Continent produced Ghost Buddha later on, severing the Stairway to Heaven, making him unable to meet Dao Qiongcang.
Yue Gongli simply visited the Qianshi Emperor Realm, sought out Emperor Qianshi, successfully gaining many benefits... like selling his sister?
On one hand, Yue Gongli could sense the blood connection with his sister remained; she should be safe, on the other hand, he had finished the self-destruction, came out of seclusion, and unexpectedly earned Emperor Qianshi’s significant favor.
"Confused..."
"But it feels like a good thing?"
There are too many things in this world that remain mysterious.
Since the reasoning is inscrutable, let time search for answers.
Just like now, Yue Gongli is soaking his feet and listening to opera in Tingyu Pavilion, faced with this sudden report from the Yunshan Emperor Realm, he can’t understand it at all, his first reaction is to delay.
"What’s Hua Changdeng doing being so crazy?"
Considering the most absurd possibility...
If Hua Zhiyao is transformed by Dao Qiongcang’s Divine Puppet, used to sow discord, Yue Gongli can accept that.
Besides that, he couldn’t fathom what Hua Changdeng could be seeking.
"He’s not this kind of person, right?"
Hua Changdeng wandered the martial arts world early on, dressed in white, wielding his sword in justice, he has some knightly spirit.
Such people, Yue Gongli loves to befriend.
Because there is no suspicion, even after becoming family head for the Yunshan clan with more calculations, essentially Hua Changdeng is a straightforward person.
All ancient swordsmen are straightforward.
Oh, except for that guy Xu Xiaoshou.
He hardly counts as an ancient swordsman, just like Dao Qiongcang, not even human!
The maid was massaging Yue Gongli’s feet, seeing him frown, she asked, "Young Master Li, should you meet him?"
Being a maid doesn’t require thinking about those difficult problems.
All she needs is to provide emotional comfort, or during his indecision, pose a question with a simple yes or no answer when Young Master Li needs it.
The remaining contemplation would be completed by the clever Young Master Li himself.
"I really don’t want to..."
"But Young Master Li, he said within fifteen minutes, if not seen, bear the consequences."
Upon hearing this, Yue Gongli immediately pulled his feet from the medicinal bath wooden tub, waved away the opera performers, sighed and said:
"Then see him briefly."
"Leaving it hanging isn’t good either. From what you say about his tone, there should be some urgent matter seeking me."
