Another emperor of the Immortal Court stared at Sunlight Emperor while saying in a heavy voice, “That arrogant Suo Mingzhang has done so many things recklessly and will never be forgiven. This time our Immortal Court has deployed forces only to exterminate this demon. You better not think of helping him for the sake of your own good!”
“Fellow daoist, there must be some misunderstandings there. I have only come here because I felt anxious before. And I just want to see if I could help.” Sunlight Emperor, being not angry at all, continued, “Although Exalted Fire Luminary is a senior to me in the World beyond Worlds. But we have already gone on the separate ways.”
“I was quite surprised that he would murder all those cultivators so abruptly.”
The third emperor of the Immoral Court tried to ease the tension by saying, “It’ll be great if fellow daoist Candle Sunlight would think so. But this place has already been sealed. Please don’t act on your own randomly to avoid any misunderstandings.”
“Thanks for the warning. I’ll pay attention to that.” Sunlight Emperor nodded and then looked to Brocade Emperor in black.
“Fellow daoist Fu, it has been so long we haven’t met. I never realized that such thing would happen to you. When I heard about the things about you, I was held up by so many other affairs and couldn’t get back to talk with you in the World beyond Worlds. Little did I know that we would meet here by accident.”
Brocade Emperor in black said calmly, “I never thought I would become like this either.”
“Where are you heading at, fellow daoists?” Sunlight Emperor watched to the other three emperors.
One of them said, “We have come here by orders. Now we are waiting for the following demands. Since you don’t want to keep yourself out of the affair, you can come with us.”
Under no circumstance were they willing to let a True Immortal of the World beyond Worlds wander around in this area freely.
“I would love to.” Sunlight Emperor nodded and joined the team.
Brocade Emperor in black also went with them.
As Sunlight Emperor looked at Brocade Emperor in light, he really wished to say something but stopped at the second thought.
During the long travel, they had passed through many spaces.
After a long while, they stopped.
A strong power aura showed up in the distance, which was quite frightening.
However, the thing which caused more attention was a huge lump of vortex-like nebula.
This nebula was even larger than the whole World beyond Worlds and also the sum of lots of spaces of the Immortal Court.
Inside of the nebula were numerous spaces and time being folded together.
If it was unfolded, it would be even larger, too large to be estimated.
“The original nebula...” Seeing that, Yan Zhaoge got a clear idea in his head, “There might be a space-time vortex inside of this nebula which led to a place far away from here.”
If Suo Minglan had entered into the vortex, it would be very difficult for the people of the Immortal Court to find him.
For a moment, Yan Zhaoge even doubted that Suo Mingzhang had only come here to dump the pursuing forces and this wasn’t his destination at all.
However, if that really was the case, the Immortal Court wouldn’t have been so stupid by inputting so many forces in this action.
They must have deducted from some certain factors that Suo Mingzhang wouldn’t leave so easily.
Thinking of the expert which had been captured by Suo Mingzhang, Yan Zhaoge assumed that that expert might not be the only person who knew about that essential information.
And through those experts in the know, the Immortal Court had already figured out why Suo Mingzhang had started a war here.
“Something is hiding, in this original nebula...” Yan Zhaoge pondered that, “Exalted Wood Luminary... dead or alive, might be seen here for the last time.”
Therefore, before Suo Mingzhang searched this original nebula thoroughly and confirmed the whereabouts of Exalted Wood Luminary, he wouldn’t leave even if he could.
In the meantime, the Immortal Court had set their teeth to search the whole nebula too. They were determined to block Suo Mingzhang’s way before he left. Also, confirming if Shao Junhuang had died or not was also their mission.
Too many experts of the Immortal Court had involved in this. Considering the huge input of the manpower and the resources, the Immortal Court would never stop until they reached their goal.
As Yan Zhaoge was thinking of that, there was a sudden change in the universe in front of him!
That original nebula which was too large to estimate, was suddenly expanding outward without a break.
Those folded spaces in the expanding nebula all started to spread, swallowing the spaces next to them.
The vortex seemed to turn into a huge beast which could swallow the universe, sweeping all the time and spaces.
“What is happening inside of the nebula? A great war?” Yan Zhaoge speculated that. Then he found that the torrent had already approaching to the people around him.
Mars Halberd contacted Sunlight Emperor secretly, “Here is our chance.”
“That’s right.” Sunlight Emperor agreed to him while pretending to avoid the torrent. At last, he failed to dodge the torrent and was swallowed into the vortex.
Anyway, even if he wanted to elude the vortex, he was still not able to.
The space-time vortex was too fierce to be avoid, even for those True Immortal Emperors like them.
None of them were hurt. However, none of them were able to escape either.
Besides Sunlight Emperor, Brocade Emperor as well as other emperors of the Immortal Court were also engulfed in the space-time torrent.
After they had jolted in the vortex, Sunlight Emperor was finally able to stand still when the torrent was a bit more steady.
Then Mars Halberd and Yan Zhaoge also had the time to observe their surroundings.
Everything inside of their views were foggy.
Normally speaking, the wrinkles of the space would create solids which were like bright crystals.
However, they only saw everything around them being like mist.
Even if an expert like Sunlight Emperor didn’t dare to touch the mist.
Unless he wanted to be squeezed into pieces.
When he was travelling in the space, he needed to try his best to avoid the mist, which made it harder for him to recognize the path.
However, after a short while, the look on Sunlight Emperor’s face suddenly changed slightly.
After that, a man in black appeared in his view. That was no other than Brocade Emperor in black.
When Brocade Emperor saw Sunlight Emperor again, he also raised his eyebrows with no surprised expression on her face. However, it was still easy to tell that this encounter was also unexpected to him.
Only this time, Sunlight Emperor wasn’t that relaxed like before. He asked slowly, “Fellow daoist Fu, why did you come here?"
History's Strongest Senior Brother Chapter 1220: Ask a Tiger for Its Skin
“I received the message about Exalted Fire Luminary. That’s why I am here.” Sunlight Emperor gazed at Brocade Emperor in black and asked, “Fellow daoist Fu, what about you?”
Time and space were in a chaotic status here. Anyone might be transferred to another world through all those spaces at any time.
But it was impossible to say that Brocade Emperor had come here by coincidence because of that.
“I have also come here for a special reason.” Brocade Emperor in black said calmly, “Not for Exalted Fire Luminary, but someone else.”
Hearing that, Sunlight Emperor frowned, “... Someone else?”
Mars Halberd who was hiding in the candle light as well as Yan Zhaoge who had been hidden by Mars Halberd both shocked to hear that too.
“Fellow daoist Fu, pardon me for speaking frankly. Are you going to... join the Immortal Court?” The look on Sunlight Emperor
’s face was never this serious when he said that.
Brocade Emperor shook his head and answered, “Not yet.”
Not yet...
Those were really two meaningful words.
‘You mean, you did have planned to do so and just haven’t put into practice.’ Yan Zhaoge pondered that, ‘Have we given too much pressure to him? Otherwise...”
Sunlight Emperor looked right into Brocade Emperor’s eyes, saying, “Please let me say this, Fellow daoist Fu, that really is an improper move.”
“I don’t want to be killed by the other me.” Brocade Emperor said indifferently, “He has already obtained the Four Grands Earlier Heaven Flag with the help of others. I have to get my own helpers too.”
Sunlight Emperor then questioned closely, “The other... the other fellow daoist Fu in white, also sought help from the Immortal Court? Or the Blessed Lands of the Buddhism?”
“That person offered his help secretly and retreated the moment he was attacked. However, he has chosen the perfect timing to take the Four Grands Earlier Heaven Flag from me. As a result, the other me in white possesses that Immortal Weapon now.” Brocade Emperor, having no intention to hide anything, continued bluntly, “It was all of a sudden. I couldn’t be sure who that person was. But I think his cultivation base should be above the True Immoral since I couldn’t see him through. Also, he is not from the outer dao.
Sunlight Emperor said in a heavy voice, “Since that is the case, why do you want to turn to the people of the outer dao for help?”
“I’ve already known about the conflicts between you and the other you, and also the grudges between you and the descendants of Exalted Gold Luminary. But those are all internal conflicts inside our Three Clear Lineage. You shouldn’t let anyone of the outer dao have an excuse to get involved in our business.”
Brocade Emperor in black said peacefully, “Fellow daoist Candle Sunlight, aren’t you associating with the Immortal Court too?”
“I was just pretending for the moment. That was my expedient.” Sunlight Emperor said frankly, not caring if Brocade Emperor would inform the Immortal Court.
“Me too.” Brocade Emperor said indifferently.
Sunlight Emperor looked at Brocade Emperor in black, trying to figure out how credible the latter’s words were.
Meanwhile, Yan Zhaoge trusted that it was Brocade Emperor’s real thought.
Well, at least for the moment, it was.
If Brocade Emperor joined the Immortal Court, he would accept being remoulded by the Immortal Court. After that, he would have the treasured light of the power of faith within his body. Also he had to enshrine and worship the Immeasurable Heavenly Lord.
In this way, to become a Profound Immortal, Brocade Emperor didn’t need to gain the Grand Simplicity Splendour Cloud and the Grand Simplicity Fist. Nor did he need to kill Meng Wan and Fu Ting or fight with Brocade Emperor in white.
No efforts, no danger. That seemed like a perfect way.
Also, that really sounded like something Brocade Emperor in black would do.
But as a matter of fact, that might not be the best for him.
After a person had been remoulded by the Immortal Court, his life and death would be completely controlled by the Immortal Court.
Brocade Emperor in black would never take that step unless there was no other way.
The best result for him would be defeating the Brocade Emperor in white and obtaining the Grand Simplicity Splendour Cloud with the help of the Immortal Court.
Yan Zhaoge and his father were also hated by the Immortal Court.
For the moment, it was still hard to say which was better for the Immortal Court, remoulding an emperor to make him a member of them or having an emperor who was likely to become a Profound Immortal of the World beyond Worlds as an ally.
That was the bargaining chip of Brocade Emperor in black.
Of course, things wouldn’t develop exactly as he wished. The Immortal Court would never ask for nothing from him.
Lots of negotiations and concessions were yet to come.
“Fellow daoist Fu, please hear my advice.” Sunlight Emperor watched Brocade Emperor in black and said, “I knew almost all the things that happened to you. There is still chance for you to defeat the other yourself and obtain the Grand Simplicity Splendour Cloud from the descendants of Exalted Gold Luminary.”
“Since the descendants of Exalted Gold Luminary have got involved with Yin Youming and Hu Tongming, they would never be tolerated in the World beyond Worlds anymore. Moreover, Earthly Sovereign will never turn a blind eye to the fact that they have killed Wang Zhengcheng. After the thing about Exalted Fire Luminary is over, Earthly Sovereign will return to the World beyond Worlds. As long as he and Concealed Sovereign join hands together, they will sweep away all the obstacles.”
“I’ve never fought the other you in white, but I heard that he was in a muddleheaded state and couldn’t make any progress now. But you always have a clear mind. Although it might sound cruel, I decide to support you.”
Sunlight Emperor said seriously, “However, joining the Immortal Court is just like asking a tiger for its skin. We should solve the problems of the World beyond Worlds inside of Three Clear Lineage. Don’t get any people of the outer dao involved!”
“But I only end up like this because of the people of the Three Clear Lineage.” Brocade Emperor in black said slightly.
With his eyebrows knitted, Sunlight Emperor said, “You mean Zhuang Shen, the previous Southern Exalt?”
Brocade Emperor in black shook his head and said, “No, absolutely not. Zhuang Sheng only took advantage of me at the last moment. The person who has plotted this is one of the three sovereigns of the World beyond Worlds. Or maybe Astro Sovereign who went missing.”
“I wouldn’t be easily set up if a Profound Immortal wasn’t involved in this.”
Sunlight Emperor showed a surprised look on his face, saying, “You mean...”
“If it is Sword Sovereign, I won’t be worried that much.” Brocade Emperor said indifferently, “But if it is one of the other sovereigns, how do you expect me to rely on them?”
“At that time Yan Zhaoge and his father were nobody and the Grand Simplicity Splendour Cloud also wasn’t found by anyone. However, considering of what have happened afterwards, they would definitely support the other me in white to cope with the aftermath of the disaster.”
Sunlight Emperor fell into a silence.
The person who had caused all of this could draw Brocade Emperor in white to his side by helping the latter make progress in the cultivation.
Before, Brocade Emperor in white had been in favor of the Broad Creed Mountain while the Brocade Emperor in black had always had conflicts with the Broad Creed Mountain.
So it was clearly which one of them would get roped in by the Broad Creed Mountain.
What’s more, Brocade Emperor in black was already one step behind the Brocade Emperor in white. At the moment, not only did the latter have the Four Grands Earlier Heaven Flag, he also made himself master of the Grand Simplicity Fist. In a word, Brocade Emperor in white was expected to win by the landslide according to the situation right now.
Although Earthly Sovereign and Concealed Sovereign had conflicts with the Broad Creed Mountain and the former would surely make the Broad Creed Mountain pay for what they had done when he came back to the World beyond Worlds.
But it didn’t mean that those two sovereigns would give backing to Brocade Emperor in black who was in conflict with the Broad Creed Mountain.
Those were two different things
“This is a matter concerning your life and your dao cultivation, I don’t want to jump to conclusions so quickly.” After a short moment of silence, Sunlight Emperor, with his eyes fixed on Brocade Emperor, said sternly, “But I still want you to think twice. Joining the Immortal court is not a good choice for your fate, your dao cultivation, and your life."

bula
“Joining the Immortal Court is not my best choice indeed.” Brocade Emperor in black said indifferently, “But at least neither my worst.”
“I just don’t want to end up in the worst result. Even if I could see it’s not a good solution, I still want to give it a shot.”
Hearing his words, Sunlight Emperor frowned slightly.
In the meantime, Mars Halberd only listened to that in silence.
Between Brocade Emperor in white and Brocade Emperor in black, Mars Halberd hated the latter more.
Because after Mars Halberd had acknowledged Brocade Emperor’s condition, he made an easy assumption that it must be the ruthless part of the Brocade Emperor who hadn’t been divided into to two persons that had used the emperors of the Immortal Court to attack him in the Nine Underworlds.
And that ruthless part had transformed into Brocade Emperor in black.
Even so, seeing Brocade Emperor in black ending up in a place where he had to seek refuges with the Immortal Court, Mars Halberd still felt complicated.
Black or white, ruthless or not ruthless, Brocade Emperor was always the most superior cultivator of the Three Clear Lineage.
After all, he was the one of the five emperors of the World beyond Worlds and also used to be the most powerful expert there. Now, he was reduced to having no place to stay in the World beyond Worlds.
Because of the issue left over by Yin Tianxia and Hu Yuexin and the death of Wang Zhengcheng which had been caused by Yan Zhaoge, there were two opposite parties gradually appearing in the World beyond Worlds.
There would definitely be an outbreak of conflicts.
The ironic thing was it seemed that Brocade Emperor would be in a bad situation no matter which party won in the future.
Even if the two parties were in a stalemate, he couldn’t gain any profits in risk.
As his enemy, Mars Halberd also sighed secretly.
However, Yan Zhaoge felt nothing for Brocade Emperor in black.
Because Yan Zhaoge knew this guy better than Mars Halberd.
