Chapter 839 839: Audience with Great Emperor Qingfeng

Baize said regretfully, "So, in the eyes of The Supreme Emperor, I am such a vicious woman."

Xu Lai felt somewhat helpless.

He was just asking to confirm the specific situation, but where did Baize's thoughts wander!

As for the truth of the words...

Xu Lai naturally believed them; Baize always had the character of 'admitting to what she had done.'

For tens of thousands of years, it has always been this way.

"Uh..."

Divine General Taotie stood aside, listening to the conversation between The Supreme Emperor and Divine General Baize, his mind was in a bit of a daze.

Why would Divine General Baize want to spread the news of The Supreme Emperor's imminent fall?

Could it be that the pressure on the Heavenly Court is not enough!

As of now.

Apart from the newly returned Northern Immortal Domain, the other three Immortal Domains are like wolves on the lookout, ready to turn against the Heavenly Court at any moment.

Unless.

The news of The Supreme Emperor's impending collapse... is false!

The late realization made Taotie's eyes sparkle with excitement as he said, "The Supreme Emperor, could it be that you are not injured?"

"You, ah."

Xu Lai glanced sideways and said, "Use your brain more; be careful to avoid being sold out one day and helping to count the money."

"Hehe, as long as Divine General Baize is in the Heavenly Court, I don't need to use my brain," Taotie said, scratching his head and laughing.

"No wonder the Taotie Clan has always wanted me to help match you two; indeed, this simpleton needs a smart person to guide him," Xu Lai shook his head.

Taotie and Baize exchanged glances and then simultaneously looked away in disdain.

Probably.

This is what the legend calls mutual disgust.

Xu Lai squinted his eyes, staring at the sand table, "Forces led by the Purple Star Palace cannot be left alone."

"Zi Tianxuan, Holy Master of Purple Star Palace, comes to pay his respects to The Supreme Emperor!"

"Chou Sihai, Holy Master of Blood Gu Hall, comes to pay his respects to The Supreme Emperor!"

"Yu Die, Holy Master of Black Moon Butterfly Clan, comes to pay his respects to The Supreme Emperor!"

"Hua Xuemei, Holy Master of Fengyue Pavilion, comes to pay his respects to The Supreme Emperor!"

"Tong Wannian, Holy Master of Sky-reaching Nine-horned Ants Clan, comes to pay his respects to The Supreme Emperor!"

"..."

Outside the main hall, a succession of heralding voices was heard.

Without waiting for approval, various figures, either radiant with colorful light or shrouded in mist, quickly approached.

Xu Lai was amused; he hadn't yet sought trouble with these Holy Lands, yet they dared to join forces and come to the Heavenly Court?

"Truly not afraid of death."

Baize praised, "It's just as well; these Holy Masters coming on their own initiative saves Heavenly Court a lot of trouble."

Xu Lai waved a hand, causing Fengyue Pavilion on the sand table to be enveloped in black mist.

Baize blinked.

Taotie praised, "This Holy Land has tainted The Supreme Emperor's reputation in the Immortal Domain, indeed can't be left alone. The Supreme Emperor is wise!"

Xu Lai looked towards Baize and asked, "Does Divine General Bai have something to say?"

"However, Fengyue Pavilion has secretly pledged allegiance to the Heavenly Court," Taotie interjected.

"No longer,"

Baize shrugged, "This time, Fengyue Pavilion contributed greatly to the scheme, and The Supreme Emperor should reward them well. One of the conditions I raised to draw in Fengyue Pavilion was not to hold past grievances."

"Oh, by the way, The Supreme Emperor with a broad mind shouldn't hold grudges overnight, right."

"..."

Xu Lai massaged his brow, saying, "After the meeting ends, I will stay behind with the Holy Master of Fengyue Pavilion to give rewards."

The carrot must be given.

But the stick must still be wielded.

At the very least, Fengyue Pavilion must understand that rumors with no factual basis must not be spread.

Poor influence!

"To stay alone?"

Taotie hesitated repeatedly, then knelt on one knee, saying, "The Supreme Emperor, although Hua Xuemei is charming, with lips like smooth jade, the matron would not permit you to take concubines. You must think thrice!"

Baize silently withdrew to one side.

Indeed.

In the next instant, Taotie was kicked in the butt, transforming into a stream of light disappearing into the sky.

"The Supreme Emperor, in the four Immortal Domains, the Heavenly Court has many secret hideouts, perfect for you to keep someone hidden away. Rest assured, I won't tell anyone."

Baize noticed Xu Lai's face darkening and feigned tension and surprise, "You wouldn't kick me too, would you? You wouldn't, right."

"..."

The mighty second Divine General of the Heavenly Court turned sarcastic as well.

Can the Heavenly Court ever be right!

Seeing The Supreme Emperor's flustered face, Baize felt an indescribable satisfaction in her heart.

For dumping all Heavenly Court affairs on my shoulders, for a total of one hundred and five days and seventeen hours.

On the other side.

The Holy Masters of various Holy Lands ignored the obstruction of Heavenly Court's Divine Generals and rushed into the hall.

"Reckless! We bring heavy treasures to visit the injured The Supreme Emperor for the Immortal Domain, who dares to stop us with such audacity!"

The human form of Tong Wannian, Holy Master of the Sky-reaching Nine-horned Ants Clan, is a strong man.

His seemingly unremarkable black skin is harder than some Divine Metals, justifying his clan's strong position in the top ten of the racial talent ranking.

"Perhaps the Gods blocking the way are traitors of the Heavenly Court, afraid our Spirit Plants and Elixirs might cure The Supreme Emperor's injuries."

Zi Tianxuan, Holy Master of Purple Star Palace, spoke slowly.

"You—"

Veins popped on the forehead of the blocking Divine General; he was truly loyal to the Heavenly Court and The Supreme Emperor, with the heavens as witness!

Yet alas.

His Boundary was only at the peak of Immortal Venerable; how could he block seventeen Quasi-Emperors?

Fortunately, at this moment.

The Supreme Emperor's voice sounded from within the main hall: "Let them in."

"Yes!"

The Divine General cupped his fists, with a faint hint of worry in his eyes.

The entire Heavenly Court.

Except for Divine General Baize, everyone else thought the news of The Supreme Emperor's impending collapse was true.

It's not that they were stupid.

But because the architect of the strategy—Baize.

"Paying respects to The Supreme Emperor."

"Paying respects to Great Emperor Qingfeng."

"..."

The scattered voices sounded within the main hall.

The Holy Masters from the seventeen Holy Lands gave perfunctory bows.

While Hua Xuemei wanted to demonstrate loyalty with a deep bow, Fengyue Pavilion could not publicly show its allegiance, and she reluctantly held back.

"The Supreme Emperor, we heard you were severely injured for the Northern Immortal Domain and came specifically to check on you."

Chou Sihai, Holy Master of Blood Gu Hall, spoke.

He was Gu Clan, essentially a poisonous snake, whose venom could easily dissolve an entire Star System.

"Whish"

Seventeen jade bottles flew into the air.

Some held healing Elixirs, others contained Holy Medicines that were over a million, or even several million years old.

It was evident the various Holy Lands came with heavy offerings this time.

Xu Lai accepted everything without refusal, calmly saying, "Thank you, fellow Daoists, for your concern. It's not... not a fatal wound."

"Oh?"

Zi Tianxuan, Holy Master of Purple Star Palace, narrowed his eyes, "I heard The Supreme Emperor is about to collapse. Is this news true?"

Well.

Skipping the basic niceties and getting straight to the point.

Baize calmly said, "What does Zi Holy Master mean? When The Supreme Emperor speaks, his words follow; he says it's fine, then it's fine."

"Please don't be offended, The Supreme Emperor. I'm worried about your health and also about the future of the Immortal Domain falling into chaos."

"The future of the Immortal Domain..."

Xu Lai squinted his eyes, "Zi Holy Master, I'm not dead yet. Divine General Bai, see them out!"

"Yes."

Baize spoke, "Esteemed Holy Masters, The Supreme Emperor is tired, please leave."
