Chapter 277: Feeding a Stray Cat?_1
Qingyun Immortal Nation.
Today, in the great hall where the Soul Lamps were kept, panicked voices rang out one after another.
An Immortal Monarch, nearly a hundred Celestial Monarchs, and countless Immortal Generals.
All their Soul Lamps had been extinguished.
The entire Immortal Nation was on edge, as if facing a formidable enemy!
It was terrifying!
“Who, who exactly is it!”
Atop the grand hall, Qingyan Celestial Lord was seething with anger.
“Even if there truly is some monstrous creature in the Northern Desolation, they couldn’t possibly have wiped out Qingming and the others. Surely, some of them should have escaped back here!”
“This must be a conspiracy, an ambush... It’s very likely that one of the other three great Immortal Nations is behind this!”
In the elderly eyes of Qingyan Celestial Lord, a shadowy gloom prevailed.
Even if they had encountered a forbidden area, not a single one of them should have failed to return.
The more he thought about it, the more he sensed something was wrong.
That Ao Wushuang clearly could be a spy from another Immortal Nation!
“Celestial Lord, it has been confirmed that since Ao Wushuang was in Xuan Yin Immortal City, he has been nothing but a harbinger of doom!”
An Immortal Monarch stepped forward and said:
“Previously, he sent a message to Xuan Yin Immortal City claiming to have discovered news of the Celestial Monarch’s Formation-Breaking Tune, and then... Xuan Yin Immortal City was no more.”
“This time, he informed Qingxuan Immortal City that there was trouble in the Northern Desolation... Qingxuan Immortal Monarch is gone, and he alone returned alive, reporting to our Immortal Nation...”
As this Immortal Monarch spoke, he felt chills run down his spine: “Then, Qingming Celestial Lord and the other Celestial Monarchs who went there... all were lost...”
After hearing this, Qingyan Celestial Lord grew even more furious!
“What an elaborate trap this man has set up!”
“Firstly, he caused the deaths of Heavenly Lord Shengqin and Immortal Monarch Xuan Yin from Xuan Yin Immortal City, and now he has turned against our Immortal Nation!”
“This person is too strange!”
He spoke gravely, saying:
“The more this happens... the more cautious we need to be. It seems that we must prepare for war and closely monitor the news from other Immortal Nations!”
“I must immediately report this matter and seek the Immortal King’s judgement!”
He stood up and left.
The many Celestial Monarchs present exchanged glances and withdrew as well.
After everyone had gone.
The only son of Qingyan Celestial Lord entered a Secret Hall.
“The Immortal King has been in the Heavenly Fiend Abyss for almost a year now. Has there been no agreement reached with the Heavenly Fiend Abyss?”
He muttered to himself, reluctant to disturb the Immortal King unless necessary.
After all, the Heavenly Fiend Abyss was one of the three great forbidden lands of the Northern Border.
It was crucial for the Qingyun Immortal Nation to secure the support of the Heavenly Fiend Abyss, especially after the Saint Descent, for the fate of the Qingyun Immortal Nation!
He was the most senior Celestial Lord in the Qingyun Immortal Nation and was privy to many secrets.
After the Saint Descent, even immortals could be slaughtered like pigs and dogs.
Against those returning Ancient Clans, the Immortal King himself could only bow and submit as a vassal!
The Immortal Nation? It was on the brink of collapse!
But the events now transpiring were beyond his capacity to deal with.
They could possibly involve a war of Immortal Nations.
He had no choice but to send an urgent message immediately!
...
At this moment.
White Tiger Immortal Nation.
“What? A person from a minor branch ascending to the throne of the nation?!”
In the grand hall, many Celestial Lords and Immortal Monarchs were seething with anger!
“Shao Yang, this is a mockery! How could the Immortal King make such a decision?!”
An elderly Celestial Lord spoke out in anger.
“We will not acknowledge it! Even if the Immortal King has been in seclusion for ten thousand years, our clan should still select another mighty being to temporarily lead the Immortal Nation. How could we allow someone of lowly birth from a minor branch in the Lower World to rule?”
“That’s right! The despicable bloodline from the Lower World becoming our clan emperor, our nation’s ruler? The citizens of the White Tiger Immortal Nation will not accept it!”
“If this gets out, we, the White Tiger Immortal Nation, will have no standing left in the Northern Border!”
They all voiced their opinions, united in opposition.
However, Sun Junior True Monarch at the head of the table remained impassive.
“This is the Immortal King’s edict!”
He brandished the token!
“Whoever dares to disrespect it, roll out of the White Tiger Clan, expel from the White Tiger Immortal Nation!”
He directly rebuked!
Seeing this, everyone shuddered.
That was the personal token of the White Tiger Immortal King!
Moreover, they had all already experienced the command within it.
“Bai Shaoyang, although you have always served by the Immortal King’s side, we cannot let you decide this matter—we demand an audience with the Immortal King!”
An elder Celestial Monarch stood up, firmly resisting!
“Right! We want to see the Immortal King!”
“Unless the Immortal King himself comes!”
The crowd clamored!
Yet, Bai Shaoyang’s eyes darkened, and he directly dropped a droplet of his essence blood.
The essence blood fell on the token.
In an instant.
A terrifying silhouette suddenly appeared from the token!
That was... the White Tiger Immortal King!
In a flash, everyone was shocked.
At this moment, Sun Junior True Monarch had already returned to the Desolate Heaven Mountain Range.
Arriving at the territory of the White Tiger Lineage in Xuan Tianzhou.
“It’s possible!”
Bai Xiaofeng finally spoke!
He had been vacillating back and forth these past few days.
In the end, he could only grit his teeth and accept.
He didn’t want to be the sovereign, but... if his refusal caused a catastrophe for the entire White Tiger Clan, then he would be the sinner of the ages.
“That’s wonderful!”
Sun Junior True Monarch was overjoyed and said:
“Uncle, please come with me.”
But Bai Xiaofeng said:
“Wait a moment, I need to go to... this matter, it has to be made known to the Lord of the Desolate Heavens!”
Upon hearing this, Sun Junior True Monarch was even more elated!
This was the best outcome!
Before long, Bai Xiaofeng had already appeared outside a small mountain village.
...
In the small courtyard.
“Meow meow~~~”
In Li Fan’s arms, Xiao Bai the cat suddenly cried out a few times, and in its cat eyes, there seemed to be a touch of hesitation!
After she returned, she remained anxious.
What if the master didn’t allow it...
“Hmm? What’s wrong?”
Li Fan noticed Xiao Bai’s unusual behavior.
“Da De, Xiao Bai ran outside a few days ago. What happened?”
He asked Wu Dade.
Wu Dade was taken aback by the question and then, with a stiffened scalp, said:
“Master, there’s an old cat outside that might be related to Xiao Bai...”
He had intended to say there was an old tiger.
But the master treated Bai Xiaoqing like a cat, so in front of him, a White Tiger was a cat!
Moreover, he dared not conceal the fact and told of the relationship between that tiger outside and Bai Xiaoqing.
Upon hearing this, Li Fan laughed, so that’s how it was!
He guessed it was just a stray cat!
After all, in his small courtyard, there were only chickens, dogs, spiders, and the like.
Xiao Bai had too few playmates, so that’s why she wanted to go outside!
“Go play, just remember to come back early,” he said.
Li Fan fondly stroked Bai Xiaoqing’s head and then added, “Da De, take the dog with you and keep an eye on Xiao Bai.”
He paused and then said, “Right, fetch some food for that cat outside from the kitchen.”
Li Fan always felt sympathy for stray cats.
Upon hearing this, Wu Dade was momentarily stunned, but he quickly realized.
The master was trying to help Bai Xiaofeng ascend to power smoothly!
And he was about to bestow a great blessing!
After all, the food in the kitchen... it was all Holy Medicine!
Indeed, it was right to persuade Bai Xiaofeng to become the ruler just a few days ago; it was exactly what the master wished!
“Yes, Master!” he said.
He immediately went to fetch the food from the kitchen.
Meanwhile, Bai Xiaoqing was rolling around in Li Fan’s arms!
“Meow meow~~ The master is simply too good!”
She couldn’t help but excitedly lick Li Fan’s palm with her pink, tender tongue.
Li Fan smiled, cuddled her, then set her down on the ground, saying:
“Go on, have fun!”
Immediately, Bai Xiaoqing headed for the door.
Wu Dade promptly took the dog and followed.
Before long, they appeared outside the village.
“Qing’er, someone from the Immortal Kingdom has come,” Bai Xiaofeng said, still looking worried.
Bai Xiaoqing responded:
“Don’t worry, Father, the master... he already knows about this!”
Hearing this, a bright light appeared in Bai Xiaofeng’s eyes as he said:
“He agreed?”
Wu Dade stepped forward and said with a smile:
“Not only did he agree, but the master also had me bring you some things!”
He immediately took out a pile of food.
A boiled ear of corn, a potato.
And a rice ball, one boiled egg.
Upon seeing this, Bai Xiaofeng was completely shocked.
Heavens... What grade of Spiritual Medicine are these?! I’ve never seen them before!
That corn, clearly each kernel was like forged gold, containing the essence of the Great Dao!
That potato was clearly emitting a terrifying mystical aura, like a treasure of heaven and earth.
That rice ball, each grain was like white jade, sniff it once and feel revitalized and alert!
That boiled egg... it contained a terrifying concentration of Great Dao principles!
Is this a gift from the Lord of the Desolate Heavens?
He trembled, truly trembled at this moment!
