Chapter 687 - The Halfway Ambush

Translator: Transn  Editor: Transn

“Brother Yu, the Human Emperor did ask us to wipe out the Li Family of Pingzhou as a warning to others, didn’t he? Why did we only capture a few of them?”

“Rubbish! You go and try. Didn’t you see the fairy weapon Zhou Bao cast out? If we attack that fairy weapon, Zhou Bao will sense it instantly. And then, he will kill us!” Yu Hui said tartly. He wondered why this guy failed to clue into the other’s facial expressions, and how he had become a Genuine Immortal.

“Brother Yu, you misunderstood me. I’m just confused. The Human Emperor is well aware of the relationship between Zhou Bao and the Li Family of Pingzhou; why does he still want the Li Family of Pingzhou to take the brunt of the punishment?”

“Well, now that the superior has decided, he must have his reasons. His foresight is not something we can speculate!” Yu Hui glared at him. Although Yu Hui himself did not wholeheartedly agree with some of the Human Emperor Yan Yuntian’s decisions, he was a man who knew how to grasp the big picture. Now that Yan Yuntian was a Human Emperor, he should naturally do whatever the Human Emperor told him to do.

However, he was not worried about being unable to wipe out the Li Family of Pingzhou so as to finish this mission; it was not his fault. He had already arrested the doomed guys from the Tiandao Alliance. As for how to torture them, this would be decided by the Human Emperor when they went back.

“Don’t overthink it. I think this matter is a scuffle between the Human Emperor and Zhou Bao. We’d better not get involved. We can not afford to piss off either one of them. But if we have to, I am more reluctant to upset Zhou Bao!”

His words made sense. Any man who had heard even a little about Zhou Bao would definitely avoid offending him!

“But we failed to wipe out the Li Family of Pingzhou. Do you reckon the Human Emperor Palace will assign us a new mission to wipe out other families?”

“It’s possible. Many influences in the Central Mainland Region, the Penglai Region, and the other two regions have ganged up with the Alien Realm. It would be easy to pick one and wipe them out. But we should not act without authority!”

As they made their way back, they kept calculating the gains and losses of this journey. The vehicle they rode was a Highest Heaven Celestial Device that looked a lot like a Void Traveler. But it was more lavish, and it had a distinct logo on the outer surface—the logo of the Divine Wind Palace.

Over the past few millenniums, the Divine Wind Palace had never really differentiated itself from the Human Emperor Palace. Despite the fact that the current Human Emperor candidate Yan Yuntian had gained some strong forces to back him up and become fairly independent from the Divine Wind Palace to foster his own influence, in light of most infrastructures, the Human Emperor Palace still shared a lot with the Divine Wind Palace. And they would have to share those infrastructures for some time. Take vehicles as an example. Since not every Individual Immortal or Genuine Immortal had the ability to travel thousands of kilometers in a second like Zhou Bao did, and most of the issues they needed to handle were urgent and crucial, the use of transportation vehicles became indispensable. Further, they had to assure that the vehicles could send them to their destination in time and the vehicles themselves had to be durable. In the end, they agreed that the most suitable transportation vehicles were the Highest Heaven Celestial Devices like the Void Travelers.

However, a Highest Heaven Celestial Device was not easy to possess. Even the large influences and sects did not have many, let alone Yan Yuntian. When they finally found one and delivered it to the Human Emperor, it was actually tailor-made for the Human Emperor himself. When a Genuine Immortal like Yu Hui went out to run errands, the Human Emperor Palace had to find him another vehicle. Anyway, how could the Human Emperor Palace keep asking others to work for them but not pitch in at all? It would not be a big deal if it merely happened once or twice, but if it occurred frequently, who would be willing to do their best to get the work done?

This was the same as the reform of government cars that was launched in Zhou Bao’s previous life. Why had it been so difficult for the reform to proceed? It was because no civil servant was willing to go on a business trip without a government car.

Accordingly, the Genuine Immortals were all riding a Highest Heaven Celestial Device for the journey. This Highest Heaven Celestial Device did not belong to the Human Emperor Palace, but the Divine Wind Palace.

If Yu Taixu were still alive, judging by his aggressive character, there was no way he would allow this Highest Heaven Celestial Device to be given to the Human Emperor Palace. But now he was gone, and the Divine Wind Palace was in a fragile period. Yu Taixuan thought it was necessary to be on good terms with the Human Emperor Palace. So they had offered this Highest Heaven Celestial Device to the Human Emperor Palace.

And it became the ride of Yu Hui and his lot.

The Void Traveler was a Highest Heaven Celestial Device. Once they went left the Li Family of Pingzhou, Yu Hui and his lot boarded the Void Traveler with the Tiandao Alliance men they had captured and flew straight towards the Penglai Region, where the Human Emperor Palace headquarters were located.

This Void Traveler was much faster than the one Zhou Bao and the others had ridden when traveling to the sea for the first time. They had covered half of the journey in just two hours. Now, approaching the Penglai Region, the Genuine Immortals appeared to be very relaxed. Some were practicing, some were chatting as casually as Yu Hui and the Genuine Immortal had a moment earlier. Considering that the mission was over, regardless of the final result, it had nothing to do with them anymore.

Just when everyone was thoroughly relaxed, the Void Traveler suddenly started to shake.

“Boom, boom, boom!”

Explosions sounded.

“Attack, we’re under attack!”

Shots of powerful divine thoughts burst out, and the practitioners, all of whom were at the Level of True Immortality, instantly knew everything.

“Attack, we’re under attack!”

A serious attack!

It turned out that the Void Traveler which was originally flying across the sea between the Central Mainland Region and the Penglai Region had arrived in an unknown space-time. Several hundred practitioners emerged outside the Void Traveler and enclosed it. The opponents had five Highest Heaven Celestial Devices, whose ranks were all equal or superior to that of the Void Traveler. One of the Celestial Devices was shooting blazing light spheres at the Void Traveler. This incurred huge explosions and caused the Void Traveler to shake.

“Who are you? Dare to get in the way of the Human Emperor Palace!” Inside the Void Traveler, Yu Hui’s face was livid. He sent out a divine thought which swept across the whole space but did not attack anyone, for this divine thought merely disclosed his identity.

“Hahaha, how hilarious! Human Emperor Palace and Divine Wind Palace, your Heaven Realm is interesting. Do you think we are still living in the same world we were 810,000 years ago? And your Heaven Realm is still the top macro world ruling all the heavens and realms? What a joke! You’re from the Human Emperor Palace? So what! Obviously, we’re here to deal with you stooges from the Human Emperor Palace!”

As the divine thought swept across the scene, the opponent also sent out a divine thought.

“You’re practitioners from the Alien Realm?!”

“Right, we’re practitioners from the Alien Realm as you said. Now, be smart and release the Tiandao Alliance members. If you do, we might show you some mercy and let you go back. If not, don’t complain if we leave you stooges stranded here!”

“Your Excellency, are you being too ambitious?”

“Ambitious? Hahaha, look around. We have more than 30 Venerables, 108 Genuine Immortals, and five Highest Heaven Celestial Devices. If we want, we can bombard you to dust in a second. Do you really believe we are too ambitious?”

“Don’t forget that you’re still in the Heaven Realm World. If you do that, the Heaven Realm World will certainly get back at you, and you will lose your foothold in the Heaven Realm!”

“You’re just bluffing!” The opponent sneered. “We actually do not want to go forward, but who asked you to take action so soon? Want to punish someone as a warning? If we allowed you to have your way, our operations would be tricky. Today, we will keep all of you stooges here. Let’s see how your Human Emperor Palace reacts. Guys, attack!”

The five Highest Heaven Celestial Devices fired simultaneously at the Void Traveler. Most of the 30 Venerables and the 108 Genuine Immortals charged forward.

“Boom, boom, boom!”

Loud sounds echoed in every corner. The Void Traveler was glowing a faint purplish gold, but its light was growing dimmer and dimmer under the attack of the five Celestial Devices. The Void Traveler was constantly shaking as if about to explode at any second.

“Brother Yu, we can’t let this go on any longer. The Void Traveler is focusing all its energy on defense, but it cannot hold on much longer!” The Genuine Immortal in charge of operating the Void Traveler yelled at Yu Hui.

Facing such fierce attack, its energy was being rapidly consumed. In spite of the huge pile of Spiritual Stones stored within, its energy was still insufficient to power through such combat.

“We have no other choice. We have to go out and fight!”

In such perilous conditions, Yu Hui could only make this kind of decision in haste. However, outside the space-boat were 108 Genuine Immortals with unknown strength. In fact, they all knew that the Genuine Immortals were likely to have minimal roles. They might simply be here as witnesses and would not make any strike at all, because the main attacking force was the 30 Venerables.

30 Venerables were powerful enough to annihilate everyone on the Void Traveler, regardless of if there were Venerables or Genuine Immortals inside. The advantage in numbers the opposite side possessed was superior to any individual’s power.

“Damn it, how can it be! The Alien Realm influences are invading our Heaven Realm World and have collaborated with each other. They even know our actions. They are going to close in and kill us all! What should we do?”

Yu Hui finally lost his composure and bellowed, “Attack! It’s our only chance. If we continue to stay trapped in the Void Traveler, we will die!”

“Right, that’s the only alternative we have!”

The expressions of several leading Venerables were extremely distorted. They had no attention to spare on their missions or spoils of war. Nearly a hundred men reached a consensus. The Void Traveler burst open. They gathered together and stormed out to the spot where the fewest enemies were stationed.

“Boom!”

“Kill them!”

“Running away? How could it be so easy? I’ll make all of you stay here!”

The opponents had apparently outguessed their final choice, as they had been observing what was going on inside the Void Traveler. Once they saw them rush out, all the enemies immediately fired at them.
