134: Being tricked

Luo Yuqing’s face flushed at his gaze.

She quickly stood up and bowed, saying, “Yuqing greets the Dao Child!”

Her figure was graceful and soft, her demeanor dignified, and her bow was extremely beautiful.

Wu Ning secretly praised her, having to admit that she was indeed a peerless beauty rarely seen in the world!

She was much more beautiful than he had imagined.

Wu Ning extended his hand in a gesture to help her up, “Divine Maiden, please rise, there’s no need for such formality.”

Luo Yuqing took the opportunity to stand, her eyes lowered, secretly sizing up Wu Ning.

Then, with a shy expression, she said, “Before the Dao Child, Yuqing dares not call herself a Divine Maiden. If Dao Child Cousin doesn’t mind, you can call Yuqing ‘Cousin’.”

Wu Ning smiled faintly without speaking.

At this moment, Murong Yin motioned for them to sit down, saying with a smile:

“Ning’er, Yuqing has been in the Clan for some time now, but you were in seclusion then. Now that you’ve come out, if you have time, you can take Yuqing to see your Dao Feather Palace.”

Wu Ning couldn't help but wonder, did Mother take a liking to this Luo Yuqing?

Although she was indeed very beautiful, and he was a little moved.

But he didn't particularly like this delicate style.

Once the novelty wore off, it would easily become boring.

Wu Ning nodded casually, then immediately changed the subject, “Mother, where is Father?”

“It seems there’s an urgent matter below. Your grandfather is still in seclusion, so your father went to handle it.”

“Oh, by the way, how has that Heavenly Nether Divine Lord been recently? Has he left yet?”

“He’s still being kept waiting. It seems he doesn’t plan to leave until he sees your grandfather or your father.”

Murong Yin said with a smile.

Wu Ning’s gaze shifted, and he found Luo Yuqing staring at him in a daze, her eyes hazy, like a lovesick fool.

Girls nowadays are really not reserved at all.

Wu Ning shook his head imperceptibly, then stood up and said, “Mother, I’ll go meet that Heavenly Nether Divine Lord first. I’ll come back later with Father.”

“Alright,” Murong Yin said with a gentle smile.

“But you need to be careful. That Heavenly Nether Divine Lord is, after all, an Immortal Emperor peak. It’s best to ask a Clan Elder to accompany you.”

Wu Ning nodded, then stepped out towards the Cloud Immortal Palace.

…

Soon after, Wu Ning found Elder Wu Mao Clan Elder.

“Ning’er, in just a year and a half, have all the Chaotic Source Fluid been condensed?”

Wu Ning took out an immortal jade bottle and handed it to him, “For now, there are only five thousand drops. I was afraid the Clan Elder would be anxious, so I brought them to you first.”

Elder Wu Mao’s Divine Thought swept over it, and after detecting the liquid drops emitting a seven-colored halo within the immortal bottle, his face immediately lit up with joy.

Of the fifty trillion immortal crystals, he had contributed eight hundred billion.

In other words, one hundred and sixty drops of Chaotic Source Fluid belonged to him.

One hundred and sixty drops of Chaotic Source Fluid meant one hundred and sixty million years of cultivation, which would definitely cause his strength to surge significantly.

He had already reached Immortal Emperor peak several million years ago.

If there were more Chaotic Source Fluid, it might even allow him to attempt a Breakthrough to the Immortal Emperor Perfection realm.

A hint of excitement appeared in Elder Wu Mao Clan Elder’s heart, wishing he could immediately gather immortal crystals to condense more Chaotic Source Fluid.

Wu Ning said at the opportune moment, “Clan Elder, if you have time, would you mind accompanying me to meet that Heavenly Nether Divine Lord?”

Elder Wu Mao’s heart stirred. He had also heard about the Heavenly Nether Divine Lord’s arrival at the Wu Clan.

It was just that he no longer handled such trivial matters in the Clan, so he hadn’t paid much attention.

“I heard that Heavenly Nether Divine Lord seems to be here to cause trouble. Is it because of the previous killing of that Golden Armored Divine Lord?”

Wu Ning nodded slightly, “It should be for that matter.”

“Heh heh, then let’s go meet him.”

…

On Shenwu Continent, in the reception palace.

The Heavenly Nether Divine Lord’s expression was extremely ugly.

For over a year, he had been like a forgotten man in this palace.

All the maids and servants around him had been removed, leaving him alone in the palace.

If he tried to find someone to inquire about the situation, they either claimed to know nothing or feigned deafness and ignored him completely.

How could he not understand that he was being given the cold shoulder by the Wu Clan!

“Damn it!”

The Heavenly Nether Divine Lord’s face was grim. He had come representing the Eternal Immortal Kingdom.

The Wu Clan was not only giving him the cold shoulder but also humiliating the Eternal Immortal Kingdom!

Smack!

Suddenly, a faint sound came from outside the palace.

Immediately after, a figure walked in.

It was Elder Wu Yue.

“Heavenly Nether Divine Lord, this old man has brought you food.”

Elder Wu Yue said with a smile.

Then he placed a food box on the white jade immortal table nearby, opened the lid, and inside was a plate of ordinary pastries.

The kind eaten by ordinary Mortals.

The pastries were a bit dark, and some dust and stains were clearly visible on them.

“Ah…”

A hint of surprise appeared in Elder Wu Yue’s eyes, and he said apologetically, “Heavenly Nether Divine Lord, I am truly sorry, it must be those ignorant children in the Clan who knocked over the pastries.”

He quickly waved his hand, using immortal power to clean the dust and stains off the pastries.

“It’s alright, it’s alright, it should still be edible.”

“Heavenly Nether Divine Lord, you are a magnanimous person, you wouldn’t stoop to bickering with a few children, would you?”

The Heavenly Nether Divine Lord’s face was dark, so gloomy that it seemed water could drip from it.

His eyes suppressed a raging fire, already close to the brink of eruption.

Wu Yue seemed oblivious, saying, “Heavenly Nether Divine Lord, I’m truly sorry, how about I get you another plate?”

“Today, a wealthy merchant in Langyun City was distributing porridge and performing good deeds, and also gave away many of these pastries. This old man found them novel, so I took a few extra.”

“Heavenly Nether Divine Lord, if you like them, I’ll ask that wealthy merchant to send more over later…”

“Bastard!!”

Bang!

Bang!

The Heavenly Nether Divine Lord’s eyes blazed with fury. He slammed his palm on the white jade immortal table, shattering it, and a terrifying Immortal Emperor pressure erupted from his body.

Elder Wu Yue was instantly sent flying by this pressure, tumbling out towards the main hall’s entrance.

“Presumptuous!”

Just then, an angry roar suddenly rang out.

Elder Wu Mao Clan Elder flashed and appeared at the hall entrance, grabbing Elder Wu Yue, then staring coldly at the Heavenly Nether Divine Lord in the hall.

A vast and terrifying pressure swept out, pressing down on the Heavenly Nether Divine Lord with overwhelming force.

“Heavenly Nether, how utterly presumptuous of you!”

“This is my Wu Clan, not your Eternal Immortal Kingdom. To dare injure my Clan Elder within the Wu Clan, are you looking for death?!”

Elder Wu Mao Clan Elder gained the upper hand, directly launching into a scolding.

“I…”

Feeling the terrifying pressure pressing down on him, the rage in the Heavenly Nether Divine Lord’s chest instantly vanished.

Looking at the situation before him, how could he not understand that he had been tricked.

How infuriating!

Elder Wu Mao Clan Elder glared coldly, “What ‘I’!”

“Heavenly Nether Divine Lord, tell me yourself, how should this matter be handled, damaging my Clan’s property and injuring my Clan Elder?”
