122: Water Cloud Emperor

“Only four left…”

Wu Ning thought for a moment and said, “Elder, with such a large operation, Black Hell has likely caught wind of it. Let’s split up from now on. You go to the Tianyuan Wan Family, and I’ll go to the Water Cloud Immortal Sect. Then we’ll meet up on the Southern Bright Ancient Star.”

Upon hearing this, Elder Wu Mao suppressed the shock in his heart.

“Good, the important thing is to handle the main business first.”

Afterward, the two separated.

The Tianyuan Wan Family and the Water Cloud Immortal Sect are both located in the Eastern Immortal Domain.

The Tianyuan Wan Family is relatively weaker; the strongest person in their Family is only a Quasi Immortal Emperor, while the Water Cloud Immortal Sect is an Immortal Emperor Dao Lineage.

Although the strongest is only an Early Stage Immortal Emperor, he is still an Immortal Emperor.

Quasi Immortal Emperor and Immortal Emperor, though only differing by one character, represent two entirely different levels.

In terms of strength and foundation, a hundred Tianyuan Wan Families combined would not be a match for the Water Cloud Immortal Sect.

Not long after, Wu Ning arrived at the Water Cloud Immortal Sect.

Boom!

A terrifying Immortal Emperor pressure erupted, enveloping the entire Water Cloud Immortal Sect.

“How dare you! Who dares to act so presumptuously in my Water Cloud Immortal Sect!”

As an angry shout rang out, a plain-looking man in black robes with a jade crown appeared above the Water Cloud Immortal Sect.

“Who are you? How dare you come to my Water Cloud Immortal Sect and act so brazenly? Do you not know that this is this Emperor’s territory?”

The man in black robes coldly shouted, a terrifying aura belonging to an Immortal Emperor erupting from him.

He subtly frowned; the person in front of him seemed to be shrouded in a mist. He couldn’t see through his appearance or his aura.

Wu Ning raised an eyebrow, “You are Water Cloud Immortal Emperor?”

The Water Cloud Immortal Sect only had this one Immortal Emperor. Hearing the name, he originally thought it was a female Immortal Emperor, but he didn’t expect it to be a man.

He looks quite normal on the outside, he wouldn’t have any strange quirks, would he?

“Precisely this Emperor!”

The man in black robes slightly raised his head, his gaze disdainful, exuding an air of arrogance.

“Your Excellency, who are you? This Emperor doesn’t remember an Immortal Emperor like you in the Wu Ji Immortal Domain?”

“You should recognize this, right?”

Wu Ning directly took out his Dao Token.

“This is… the Wu Clan Dao Child’s Token?”

Water Cloud Immortal Emperor’s eyes narrowed. As an Immortal Emperor making a living in the Wu Ji Immortal Domain, how could he not recognize the Wu Clan Dao Child’s Dao Token?

“Indeed, it is the Dao Token of our clan’s Dao Child.” Wu Ning nodded slightly, then continued, “This Lord has been ordered by the Dao Child to come to the Water Cloud Immortal Sect to handle some matters. Water Cloud Immortal Emperor, you must cooperate well.”

“Naturally, naturally!”

Water Cloud Immortal Emperor nodded repeatedly, his arrogant demeanor instantly dissipating, replaced by a respectful expression.

He thought to himself that this generation’s Wu Clan Dao Child was truly extraordinary, capable of even dispatching Immortal Emperor powerhouses!

“May I ask, what brings you here, Your Excellency?”

Water Cloud Immortal Emperor asked with cupped hands.

“Let’s first hand over your sect’s Grand Elder Yan Sheng.”

“Yan Sheng?”

Water Cloud Immortal Emperor felt a little uneasy. Could it be that this old fellow had provoked the Wu Clan Dao Child?

He didn’t dare to delay and immediately seized Yan Sheng into the air. “Your Excellency, this fellow is Yan Sheng.”

“Immortal Emperor Your Excellency…”

Yan Sheng was somewhat bewildered, not knowing why Water Cloud Immortal Emperor had brought him here.

“Yan Sheng, you joined Black Hell seven million six hundred thousand years ago and are now a top Earth-Grade assassin in Black Hell, codenamed Blood Nether. Am I wrong?”

Wu Ning’s expression was indifferent. The strongholds Black Hell established in various places were usually hidden within other forces. This particular stronghold was established by Yan Sheng himself.

“A Black Hell assassin?!”

Water Cloud Immortal Emperor’s expression suddenly turned cold, a terrifying aura surged, his eyes fixed on Yan Sheng, “You are actually a Black Hell assassin?”

Yan Sheng’s face changed drastically, and his eyes showed horror.

He was exposed?

“Speak quickly! Are you or are you not a Black Hell assassin?!”

“Was Water Cloud’s death your doing?!”

A bloodthirsty glint flashed in Water Cloud Immortal Emperor’s eyes, his aura suddenly became extremely terrifying, wildly tyrannical, like a monstrous beast about to devour someone.

Wu Ning was slightly stunned. This guy seems to have a story.

Facing an enraged Immortal Emperor, Yan Sheng was enveloped by his pressure, his face turned deathly pale, and he was already severely wounded.

He felt a sense of despair in his heart, knowing that today would be his end.

“Haha, you want to know the truth, but I won’t let you have your way!”

A look of madness appeared in Yan Sheng’s eyes, and then, his aura began to surge wildly, filled with a destructive Qi.

“In front of this Emperor, you still want to self-detonate? Ridiculous!”

Water Cloud Immortal Emperor let out a cruel sneer, stretched out a hand, and instantly pressed it on Yan Sheng’s head, beginning to search his Divine Soul.

“Ah—!!”

Water Cloud Immortal Emperor’s actions were extremely brutal, and Yan Sheng immediately let out a bloodcurdling scream.

Wu Ning watched silently, not stopping him. Yan Sheng was going to die anyway.

A moment later.

Water Cloud Immortal Emperor triggered the Restriction in Yan Sheng’s Divine Soul, causing his Divine Soul to instantly collapse and dissipate.

“Ah—!”

Water Cloud Immortal Emperor suddenly let out an angry roar, his voice shattering the Void Realm. If Wu Ning hadn’t intervened, countless stars would have likely crumbled, and countless living beings would have perished.

“Damn Black Hell, this Emperor will never rest until you are destroyed!”

Bang!

Yan Sheng’s corpse was slapped into a bloody mist by the enraged Water Cloud Immortal Emperor.

After venting, his emotions gradually calmed down.

“Your Excellency, you’ve seen me make a fool of myself.”

“No matter.”

Wu Ning waved his hand casually and tossed him a jar of immortal wine.

“It seems you have a grudge against Black Hell?”

Water Cloud Immortal Emperor opened the wine jar, took a big gulp, and drank the entire jar of immortal wine.

His lips were somewhat bitter, his eyes melancholic, filled with deep longing and intense hatred.

“Water Cloud is actually my wife’s name.”

“She and I knew each other from a young age and were called Water Cloud Fairy. After we became Dao Companions, we walked hand in hand for tens of millions of years, enduring all kinds of hardships, but she died tragically on the day I attained the Immortal Emperor Dao!”

The hatred in his eyes grew stronger, “An enemy of mine didn’t want to see me become an Emperor, so he hired an assassin from Black Hell to attack me.”

“After that Black Hell assassin was repelled by me, he planned to capture Water Cloud to threaten me. Water Cloud, knowing his intention, chose to self-destruct so as not to affect me…”

A tear flashed in Water Cloud Immortal Emperor’s eyes, and he said sadly, “Water Cloud’s biggest dream was to become a female Immortal Emperor like Moon-Picking Immortal Emperor…”

“After that, I changed my Emperor title to Water Cloud, which can be considered fulfilling her dream.”

With my glory, I crown your name.

“So that’s how it is.”

Wu Ning sighed softly. This guy was indeed quite miserable.

Water Cloud Fairy’s self-destruction had probably become his Heart Demon. No wonder his cultivation was still at the Early Stage Immortal Emperor even after breaking through to Immortal Emperor tens of millions of years ago.

“Was Yan Sheng the Black Hell assassin who killed Water Cloud Fairy?”
