224: 1,000-year-old birthday

Ye Clan, Deliberation Hall.

Bang!

Ye Ting slammed his palm onto the Xuanmu Immortal Table in front of him, shattering it into dust, and raged, “Damn it! Did those two old farts, Ye Tong and Ye Jian, take the wrong medicine?!”,

“Why are they acting crazy for no reason? They went to smash Hongyue House for no reason, even fought with that woman Hongyue, and then actually dragged her into self-destruction?”,

“You all tell me, did those two old farts go insane, or did they suffer Qi Deviation during Cultivation? Huh?”

Ye Ting's face was livid with anger. They were old farts, yet they still caused him so much trouble.

“Clan Chief, I have another matter to report here.”

An elder across from him also spoke with a grim expression.

Ye Ting frowned, “Speak.”

“Before Ye Tong and Ye Jian went to Hongyue House, they also visited six other locations, including Ancient Immortal City. Now, all six of these locations have been erased by them!”

The elder paused, “Hmm… including Ancient Immortal City!”

“What?!”

Ye Ting was instantly struck by lightning.

… …

At this moment, Wu Ning had returned to the Wu Clan.

After staying quietly in the clan for half a month, he went to Ancient Immortal Domain and caused another stir.

Within half a month, the news of the destruction of Heavenly Wood Immortal Domain's Ancient Immortal City and Hongyue House had already reached Ancient Immortal Court.

Although not many people were clear about Hongyue House's relationship with them, Ancient Immortal City clearly represented the face of their Ancient Immortal Court!

To be destroyed so brazenly, and with an Immortal Emperor expert killed, it was practically like pressing their heads down and slapping the face of their Ancient Immortal Court!

Now, the Ancient Immortal Court's imperial court was seething with resentment, clamoring that they must retaliate against the Ye Clan.

Immortal Emperor Ji Kong frowned, remaining silent.

In fact, the moment he received the news, he immediately notified Ye Ting, demanding an explanation. But Ye Ting himself was also bewildered and could only respond that he would give a satisfactory answer once the cause of the matter was investigated.

Although Ji Kong felt he was being perfunctory, he still decided to give him a few days.

Unexpectedly, half a month passed, and Ye Ting still had no reply. At this point, Ji Kong was truly enraged.

“Lord, the destruction of the Ancient Immortal Clan in Heavenly Wood Immortal Domain is now known even to the common people below. Public sentiment is inflamed, and we must take action.”

An old minister with white hair bowed and said.

Immediately after, several other highly respected old ministers voiced their agreement.

“Lord, Elder Hong Si Zhu is right, but now, not only within our Immortal Court, but probably other major forces are also watching us. If we don't show something soon, it might make people look down on us!”

“Lord, your subject suggests immediately apprehending all Ye Clan members and directly cutting off their path to the All Heavens Battlefield in the future. As for the Ye Clan members inside, we will capture them one by one as they come out… ”

“Lord… ”

Listening to the continuous requests, the anger in Ji Kong's heart could no longer be suppressed. He immediately stopped hesitating and directly issued an order to arrest all Ye Clan members throughout the territory.

If the Ye Clan still didn't give him a satisfactory answer… then kill!

“Lord, what if those Ye Clan members resist fiercely during the arrest process, leading to casualties?”

Divine Lord Xingyao bowed slightly and asked. The task of arresting the Ye Clan members had fallen to him.

“Those who dare to resist, their lives or deaths do not matter!”

Ji Kong said without hesitation.

Since a decision had been made, it would be carried out to the end. It was just a Ye Clan; they couldn't ride roughshod over their Ancient Immortal Court.

“Yes!”

Divine Lord Xingyao nodded, then accepted the order and departed.

… …

Somewhere in Ancient Immortal Domain.

Wu Ning couldn't help but smile contentedly upon seeing the Immortal Court's subsequent actions.

This time, upon arriving in Ancient Immortal Domain, he did not act recklessly as before.

Instead, he first had Ink Treasure investigate the detailed intelligence of the Immortal Court's ministers, and then he secretly instigated and amplified the dissatisfaction and anger of some ministers towards the Ye Clan.

After continuous fermentation, a powerful trend of denouncing the Ye Clan formed in the imperial court, forcing other wavering or observing ministers to join in and condemn the Ye Clan a few words.

Finally, he guided several highly respected ministers to formally advise Ji Kong to launch a counterattack against the Ye Clan.

Now, it seemed the effect was quite good.

The Ancient Immortal Court began to counterattack the Ye Clan, and this was entirely their spontaneous action.

Wu Ning was like an outsider at this moment, silently observing all of this.

Of course, he would occasionally add fuel to the fire, making those captured Ye Clan members resist even more fiercely.

It would be best if both sides suffered more casualties.

The more grievances accumulated, the more intense the conflict would become.

… …

Another half month quickly passed, and Wu Ning quietly returned to the Wu Clan.

He did not intend to continue interfering with how things would develop next.

No matter how the conflict unfolded later, the Ye Clan would ultimately have to admit defeat. After all, they were in the wrong, and they had killed an Immortal Emperor and severely wounded a Peak Immortal Emperor.

If they didn't want to give up the All Heavens Battlefield, they would inevitably yield to the Ancient Immortal Court.

Moreover, the Dao Domain experts of the Ye Clan couldn't possibly agree to go to war with the Ancient Immortal Court over such a small matter, because it was easy for them to start, but whether they could end it might not be up to them.

So the outcome was already inevitable; the only difference was the time it would take for the outcome to arrive.

Wu Ning had lived for so many years and had come to understand the efficiency of these major forces. Perhaps because they had endless Lifespan, they had no sense of urgency, which often led to their incredibly low efficiency.

This particular matter would definitely not end easily without several decades passing.

Wu Ning was also too lazy to spend that much time paying attention to them.

He would just occasionally have Ink Treasure check, treating it as reading news to pass the time.

And surprisingly, during one query several years later, Wu Ning indeed discovered some unexpected circumstances.

The Ancient Immortal Court and the Ye Clan had undergone several years of intense conflict, and the situation had gradually stabilized quite a bit. If it continued, the Ye Clan might even concede to the Ancient Immortal Court.

But at this moment, the Great Wilderness Immortal Court and the Evergreen Immortal Kingdom, those two old schemers, also secretly added fuel to the fire. The Wu Clan also secretly played many dirty tricks on the Ye Clan, making the conflict between the Ancient Immortal Court and the Ye Clan intensify once again.

It was even more intense than before.

If the Eternal Immortal Kingdom wasn't on good terms with the Ye Clan and also related by marriage, it probably wouldn't have been able to resist either.

Other major forces simply stood by, watching the show, as it did not concern them.

As days passed, Wu Ning also put this matter out of his mind.

On this day, Murong Snow Iris came to Dao Yu Immortal Palace.

Wu Ning couldn't help but feel a little curious, “Aunt Xueyuan, you are a rare guest. I haven't seen you leave Chaoyun Immortal Palace for so many years.”

“Young Lord, you are truly a great figure now. How could you still have the time to pay attention to me?”

Murong Snow Iris smiled gently. Her demeanor always seemed so dignified and elegant, and time seemed to linger on her.

After a period of pleasant conversation, Murong Snow Iris's tone shifted, “Young Lord, the Young Lord has asked you to come over. Let's go, don't keep her waiting.”

Wu Ning nodded slightly, then went to Chaoyun Immortal Palace with Murong Snow Iris.

Wu Ning's gaze swept around, and he immediately understood something.

Unbeknownst to him, he was already one thousand years old!
