Top Grade Immortal Emperor in the Flower City-Chapter 568 578: The Fuse
Atop a high mountain, there was a small bronze door that only allowed passage for one person.
The source of this c𝐨ntent is freeweɓnovēl.coɱ.
However, it was simply impossible for ordinary people to enter through this door; even powerful cultivators at the Tribulation Transcending Stage could not find this small bronze door.
Inside the door was a unique, independent space, vast and large, somewhat similar to the Martial World.
In this world, thunder snakes crisscrossed wildly across the sky, causing constant trembling of heaven and earth.
Gigantic chains stretched across this world, their ends and origins unknown. Coupled with the roaming thunder snakes, the whole space resembled Purgatory.
In one corner of this world, there was nothing but a mountain soaring into the clouds with its peak unseen, surrounded by mountain ridges.
The mountain was grey with an aura of death about it, but upon closer inspection, one would find that there were powerful cultivators sitting on this mountain.
The higher up the mountain, the stronger the individuals became, and those at the cloud-shrouded summit were terrifyingly strong at the Divine Infant Middle Stage.
This place was the Divines Hall, and this mountain was known as Divine Mountain.
At the peak of Divine Mountain, several seemingly ordinary Western men and women stood together, discussing something. Their gaze swept across the sky, and nothing dared to obstruct them.
"Aletai, Hai Wei disappeared in Huaxia. We should quickly find out the truth, and once we discover the murderer, our armies will march and give the people of Huaxia an unforgettable warning," one of them said.
"Heh, my old friend, don't forget that in the Thirty-Six Heavenly Caves, there are many Eastern martial artists who can match us," another replied.
"Xuantian Palace? Haha, it has been a hundred years since they've shown any sign of existence. If I go, who would dare to challenge me?" boasted a third.
"That may be so, but we should still be careful. Let's first ascertain the murderer, and then dispatch several Vice Hall Masters to force Huaxia to hand over the person," suggested a fourth.
"Once they hand over someone, internal conflict within Huaxia is certain. We can also take this opportunity to see if we can invade Huaxia on a grand scale. This is a great opportunity!" exclaimed another eagerly.
"Regardless, anyone who dares to kill a member of the Divines Hall must be prepared to die. The gods will not forgive them," declared one of the strong figures, their words filled with excitement. Towards the end of the conversation, one of them let out a howl to the sky and transformed into a terrifying blood-colored giant werewolf.
Werewolves, a powerful race from the dark world, whose might is hardly captured by sci-fi movies on the market, not even one percent of their true form reflected.
Boom! Just at that moment, suddenly, a powerful aura descended abruptly, causing all the strong figures to startle and look up at the summit in fear.
The person at the summit could almost be considered the first among humans in strength, not likely to fall short even when compared with the Lord of Xuantian Palace.
"Investigate, find out who the murderer is before we make a decision. Aletai, the task is yours," echoed a voice, ethereal and transient.
At that voice, the transformed werewolf's eyes turned red with excitement, filled with a lust for bloodshed and cruelty.
"Aletai, behave yourself! Your mission is to investigate, not to slaughter. If you break the rules and die in Huaxia, then you have only yourself to blame," the one from the summit spoke calmly before the presence slowly faded away. Aletai's eyes briefly flickered with a savage cold light. In his opinion, apart from the figure at the summit and the Lord of Xuantian Palace, who in the world could defeat him?
"Tsk tsk, Aletai, you've got yourself a nice gig, getting to visit the ancient Eastern country you've always wanted to see. Who knows, you might even stumble upon a romantic encounter," teased someone.
"Give it a rest. A furry brute and a romantic encounter? You guys really know how to joke," was the retort.

"Bastard! Lucio, you bastard, do you believe I can slaughter all of your vampire descendants and leave you a lonely old duke without a family to call your own!"
At the Divines Hall, a decision was quickly made, while the person in question, Ye Ling, had just returned to Donghai City, inside his estate.
"Damn, I'm exhausted. Later, I need to find someone to give me a massage, my whole body aches."
Ye Ling walked into the living room and flopped down on the sofa, melodramatically yelling out loud, while Wang Shufen couldn't help but give him a sidelong glance.
"Alright, alright, all the daughters-in-law went to work, or they went out to shop; it's just us mother and son at home. Who are you trying to fool?"
Wang Shufen bluntly exposed Ye Ling, "You, a figure reincarnated from an Immortal, are complaining about body aches? What a joke."
"Hehe, mom, stop sitting here all day sewing clothes. It's much better to buy them, and besides, what about the four grandchildren? Can you really keep up?"
Ye Ling walked over to Wang Shufen and patted her on the shoulder as he spoke.
Wang Shufen glared at him, "You young people these days, always thinking about buying without knowing how to save money. With the way you're spending, if it were sixty years ago, you'd be lined up for execution."
"Do you have any idea how many dishonest merchants are out there nowadays? We can't take any chances with the things the kids use, especially their clothes."
"Besides, I'm not blind or deaf just yet, and my body is still in great shape. Why wouldn't I make something for my grandkids?"
"As for you, before your wives give birth, you're not allowed to go anywhere. Look at you, not spending time with them. They are pregnant, you know."
"I honestly don't know what good deeds you did in your past life to deserve this, or maybe it's the Ye Family ancestors showing their favor, for you to have so many great women marrying you."
Wang Shufen tapped Ye Ling and couldn't help saying so, envious of her son's fortune.
Ye Ling chuckled, "Let me tell you, mom, I didn't rack up any good deeds in my past life, but it's true I've chopped up quite a few blind bastards."
"As for whether the Ye Family ancestors are showing favor, I don't know about that, but a billowing war smoke, perhaps that's actually true."
Seeing Ye Ling making jokes, Wang Shufen sighed deeply without saying anything more, though a hint of reminiscence appeared in her eyes.
"What's the matter, mom? Thinking about my deadbeat dad who's disappeared god knows where?"
Ye Ling, noticing his mother's distress, took Wang Shufen's hand and asked.
"Deadbeat dad, can't you speak properly? I was just thinking... it's been over a decade since he vanished without a trace."
"At least let me know if he's dead or alive. We used to be so close, and then suddenly he was gone, as if he never existed in this world, without leaving even a single clue."
Wang Shufen shook her head as she spoke, and Ye Ling, knowing his mother yearned for his father, suddenly slapped his thigh, "Don't worry, mom, I'll definitely find him for you."
"Are you joking or are you serious?" Wang Shufen suddenly perked up; the thought of her life partner, she really did miss that old fool.
Ye Ling grinned, "What, you don't believe me? Just wait and see. I'm going to our ancestral home in the next few days, and then I'll bring back a big surprise for you."
"Alright, let's go tomorrow then. It's been many years since I've been back to the Ye Family home too." Wang Shufen immediately decided with a firm slap on her thigh.
