99: Thirteen super powers

At the same time, a hint of doubt arose in his heart.

If it truly was an old fella from the Murong Emperor Clan who made a move, he could have done it much more covertly, without leaving him any chance to trace it back to the Murong Emperor Clan.

Those guards and attendants wouldn't have survived either.

“Could it be… it really wasn't the Murong Family who made the move?”

“Hmph, regardless, this matter is absolutely inseparable from them!”

“And that little brat from the Wu Clan!”

A murderous glint flashed in Ye Ting's eyes.

Since an old fella shamelessly killed his son, why couldn't he kill that Wu Family kid?

…

Looking at the direction Ye Ting departed, Murong Bo frowned.

“If this matter isn't handled well, it's a bit tricky.”

Afterward, he summoned Wu Ning.

“Wu Ning, tell your maternal grandfather honestly, is the death of that kid Ye Heng related to you?”

Murong Bo looked at him with a serious expression.

“Mm, I killed Ye Heng.”

Wu Ning nodded, admitting it openly and frankly.

He had seen Murong Bo's attitude, so he didn't intend to hide it from him.

If it were before his Breakthrough to Immortal Emperor, he might have had some reservations, but he had already achieved a Breakthrough to Immortal Emperor.

With a large number of immortal emperor artifacts, several Dao Artifacts, several Innate Supreme Treasures, and a Chaos Supreme Treasure protecting him, he didn't need to worry too much.

Wu Ning didn't like to conceal things from his relatives; as long as he didn't expose his trump cards, he could appropriately reveal some of his strength.

“You killed him?”

A trace of surprise flashed in Murong Bo's eyes, “You kid, how old are you this year, how could you kill Ye Heng?”

He suddenly frowned, realizing that Wu Ning was like shrouded in a layer of mist, no matter how he looked, he couldn't see through him.

“That's strange, could it be that those old antiques from the Wu Clan gave him some protective supreme treasure?”

Murong Bo muttered to himself.

Wu Ning said, “Maternal Grandfather, your grandson fortunately obtained some Heaven-Defying Opportunities, and his strength is already above that of Ye Heng; killing him is as easy as turning over one's hand.”

“Strength above Ye Heng?!”

Murong Bo's eyes widened slightly; Ye Heng's cultivation wasn't weak, already at the Immortal King Middle Stage.

Wu Ning's strength was actually above his?

“Wu Ning, you… you've already had a Breakthrough to Immortal King?”

Wu Ning smiled faintly, “Maternal Grandfather, Wu Ning was already an Immortal King a hundred years ago.”

He spoke half his words and kept half.

He was indeed still an Immortal King a hundred years ago, but now he had already had a Breakthrough to Immortal Emperor.

“A hundred years ago…”

Murong Bo was too shocked to speak.

An Immortal King at a few hundred years old!

He was already nearly ten million years old; having lived this long, he had never heard of such a Prodigy in the world.

Wu Ning said apologetically, “Maternal Grandfather, your grandson was a bit reckless this time, presumptuously killing Ye Heng, I hope it won't bring trouble to the Murong Emperor Clan.”

He felt that this time he had indeed been a bit inconsiderate.

He should have let that kid Ye Heng roll back to the Thousand Leaves Emperor Clan and then self-destruct!

In that case, that old fella Ye Ting wouldn't possibly trouble the Murong Family anymore, right?

A miscalculation, a miscalculation.

Hmm… if there's an Opportunity in the future, he could let his eldest son try again.

Murong Bo was still in shock, and upon hearing this, he waved his hand, “It's fine, a little friction is inevitable. That old fella Ye Ting can't possibly go to war with our Murong Emperor Clan just for one son.”

“It's you…”

Murong Bo said with a serious expression, “Ye Heng is dead, Ye Ting will definitely see you as a thorn in his side, and may even arrange for people to assassinate you, so when you travel outside in the future, you must be extra careful!”

“Although you've had a Breakthrough to Immortal King Realm at such a young age, you must not become arrogant and careless because of it. You should know that there are many people in the Thousand Leaves Emperor Clan who are stronger than an Immortal King!”

Wu Ning nodded slightly, “Your grandson will remember.”

Murong Bo's expression softened slightly, revealing a smile.

“But you don't need to worry too much. Although the Thousand Leaves Emperor Clan is strong, our Murong Emperor Clan and the Wu Clan are only stronger than them, not weaker. At most, they will only dare to use some underhanded methods to deal with you in secret.”

Murong Bo took out a purple jade talisman and handed it to Wu Ning, “This jade talisman contains the power I've stored. Keep it with you, and even if that old fella Ye Ting personally makes a move, it can ensure your safety.”

Murong Bo's tone was calm, but full of strong self-confidence.

The gap between an Immortal Emperor and an Immortal Emperor was extremely vast.

Ye Ting had only had a Breakthrough to Immortal Emperor for less than a million years and was currently only at the Immortal Emperor Early Stage, while he was already at the Immortal Emperor Middle Stage.

In terms of strength, ten Ye Tings wouldn't be enough for him to fight.

Otherwise, that fella wouldn't have left so easily just now.

“Thank you, Maternal Grandfather.”

Wu Ning smiled and accepted it. Although he might not necessarily need it, it was his maternal grandfather's kind intention.

Murong Bo waved his hand, “Alright, you go down first. Your maternal grandfather still has some matters to attend to.”

“Your grandson takes his leave.”

After Wu Ning left the main hall, he was soon called over by Wu Tianyun.

“Son, you killed that fella Ye Heng?”

“Mm, I killed him.”

“Haha, well killed!”

Wu Tianyun laughed and patted Wu Ning's shoulder. He had some understanding of the grievances between his elder brother and the Young Clan Leader of the Ye Clan.

He knew what was going on just by thinking about the cause and effect.

It must have been that fella Ye Heng, because of his brother's matter back then, wanted to trouble his son, but ended up kicking an iron plate and was counter-killed by his son.

“However…”

“Ye Heng is, after all, the Clan Chief's son of the Ye Clan. It's still a bit troublesome that he was killed like this. I need to inform your grandfather's side and see if we can invite an Immortal Emperor Clan Elder to protect your Dao.”

Wu Tianyun said with a serious expression.

Wu Ning shook his head, “Father, there's no need.”

“Your child has a protective jade talisman bestowed by his maternal grandfather. Even when facing an Immortal Emperor, he can protect himself and doesn't need a Clan Elder to protect his Dao.”

“Alright then.”

Wu Tianyun didn't insist either. He knew that his son had many secrets, and if an Immortal Emperor Clan Elder followed him, it would indeed be inconvenient in many ways.

After chatting with his father for a while, Wu Ning returned to his residence.

A few days passed in a flash.

This day was his maternal uncle Murong Chen's 600,000th birthday.

Xianyang Palace.

In the main hall, people from various Daoist orthodoxies and forces offered birthday gifts.

As the Young Clan Leader of the Murong Emperor Clan, Murong Chen held a noble status. For his grand birthday, almost all the major super forces of the Taichu Ancient Realm sent people to celebrate.

In the entire Taichu Ancient Realm, there were a total of thirteen super forces, including the True Martial Emperor Clan (Wu Clan), Murong Emperor Clan, Xuanyuan Clan, Thousand Leaves Emperor Clan, and Jiang Clan Emperor Clan, these five supreme Emperor Clans.

Additionally, there were the Ancient Immortal Court, Great Wilderness Immortal Court, Evergreen Immortal Kingdom, and Eternal Immortal Kingdom, the four supreme Immortal Kingdoms (Courts).

Finally, there were the Yaochi Heavenly Palace, Wan Dao Heavenly Palace, Misty Immortal Abode, and Tianyan Dao Sect, these four immortal Daoist orthodoxies.

These thirteen super forces belonged to the first-tier forces in the Taichu Ancient Realm.

They stood at the pinnacle of the Taichu Ancient Realm.

High above, unshakeable by anyone.

The second tier consisted of top-tier forces like the Tantai Immortal Clan, possessing no less than ten Immortal Emperors!

Among the best of them, there might even be Dao-Grade powerhouses above the Immortal Emperor, whom even super forces would not easily provoke.
