Disposal

Chapter 261 Disposal
"Yun Wanren, do you know your crime!"

These seven simple words sent a shiver down the spine of Yun Wanren, the current emperor of the Boundless Immortal Dynasty, who ruled over a vast territory spanning millions of miles and whose words could decide the life and death of countless lives.

Before tacitly approving Crown Prince Yun Wuxiu's actions, he never imagined that the Great Luo Immortal Sect's reaction would be so extreme.

Lu Linyuan, the sect master of the Great Luo Immortal Sect, actually descended in person!

This……

He is not only a Pure Yang True Immortal who has attained enlightenment for many years, but also an unparalleled figure who holds the highest power in the Great Luo Immortal Sect and can destroy a sect and a country with a single word.

In terms of both strength and power, he has already reached the pinnacle of the entire True Immortal Great World. Those who can rival him can be counted on two hands.

He had also made contact with the Yaoyang Immortal Sect and the Nine Heavens Holy Land.

Among them, a powerful immortal from the Yaoyang Immortal Sect even personally made a promise to him.

If they can hold out for just a moment, the True Immortals of the Yaoyang Immortal Sect will arrive and act as peacemakers.

After all, it wasn't the Boundless Immortal Dynasty that killed Li Xian. If the Great Luo Immortal Sect really wanted to vent its anger, it should have done so to the Supreme Demon Sect, not the Boundless Immortal Dynasty.

The Boundless Immortal Dynasty was at most responsible for poor governance. With a True Immortal from the Radiant Sun Immortal Sect acting as a peacemaker, they were able to quell the anger of the Great Luo Immortal Sect by throwing out a slightly weighty pawn.

They, however, made a living from the same fish.

This not only made the Yaoyang Immortal Sect more at ease with the Wuliang Immortal Dynasty, but also connected them to the Nine Heavens Holy Land, giving them more room to maneuver.

Perhaps there's some empty promise involved, but the Boundless Immortal Dynasty is no small fry. No force would easily give up a Boundless Immortal Dynasty with so many scattered immortals; they would all receive some benefits.

result……

Lu Linyuan has come in person!
Nothing matters anymore.

Faced with this powerful figure who stood at the pinnacle of power and strength in the True Immortal World, all he could do was bow his head and admit his mistake.

"This is the fault of our Boundless Immortal Dynasty, which allowed demonic cultivators to infiltrate the capital... We will definitely investigate this thoroughly..."

He said immediately.

"A thorough investigation? No need. My Great Luo Immortal Sect will send people to investigate this matter personally! From today onwards, the capital of the Boundless Immortal Dynasty will be under lockdown, and everyone in the Yun family lineage will be confined to their homes. No one is allowed to leave or enter until a result is found!"

"A...a city lockdown!?"

Yun Wanren felt a chill run down his spine.

A single word could seal off the city!?
With a single word, he's going to confine the entire Boundless Royal Family!?

He opened his mouth, as if to say something.

But when she met Lu Linyuan's gaze, a chill suddenly rose in her heart.

He immediately recalled the terrifying scene of the Great Luo Immortal Sect Master personally descending upon the Imperial Palace in the capital and using his supreme divine power to solidify the entire void.

That was clearly an attitude that if Li Xian were to suffer any mishap, the entire palace, and even the entire royal family, would be razed to the ground and reduced to ashes by boundless power, and millions of royal descendants, countless True Immortals, True Lords, and even powerful Immortal Lords would be buried with Li Xian.

This terrifying display caused the True Immortal promised by the Yaoyang Immortal Sect to rush to the aid of the Boundless Immortal Dynasty and act as a "peacemaker" to disappear from contact.

The Nine Heavens Holy Land dared not make any move.

With Lu Linyuan here, all his decisions represent absolute authority and absolute power, suppressing all dissenting voices.

A king cannot meet another king!

If the Yaoyang Immortal Sect dared to step forward as a peacemaker at this time, and if anything went wrong, the Daluo Immortal Sect and the Yaoyang Immortal Sect would go to war!
The Boundless Immortal Dynasty is powerful enough for the Radiant Sun Immortal Sect to step in and protect it if the situation is still manageable.

However, this amount of influence is definitely not enough to make the Yaoyang Immortal Sect willing to go to war with the Daluo Immortal Sect for their sake.

Without the support of the Radiant Sun Immortal Sect, how dare the Boundless Immortal Dynasty resist?

What can we use to resist?!

"Yes Yes……"

Yun Wanren's voice trembled slightly: "We will immediately issue the order to seal off the entire city... We will definitely give Sect Leader Lu an explanation..."

At that moment, when he glanced at Li Xian out of the corner of his eye, he felt as fortunate as Yun Wanshan and Wu Ying.

Fortunately, Mr. Li did not die.

If he were to truly perish here, it wouldn't be impossible for Lu Linyuan, in his rage, to wipe the entire capital of the Boundless Immortal Dynasty from the True Immortal Great World.

"Don't talk about giving me an explanation! You're giving yourselves an explanation!"

Lu Linyuan's tone was unquestionable: "The Boundless Calamity Wave Array itself has a certain ability to seal the void. If you want to use the Myriad Miles Without a Trace Talisman within the range of this array, you must have the Boundless Calamity Wave Array's passage decree. The Boundless Immortal Dynasty must know such decrees. I'll give you one hour to hand over all the people, and my Great Luo Immortal Sect will examine them one by one."

"Sect Master Lu, we sent people to investigate immediately after learning of this news, and we've already found some clues..."

At this moment, Yun Wanren did not hesitate to throw Yun Wuxiu out.

The cost was too high.

Those who can hold the travel permit are all top figures in the Boundless Immortal Dynasty. If the Great Luo Immortal Sect were to arrest and interrogate all those who hold the permit, the entire Boundless Immortal Dynasty would come to a standstill.

Faced with such an unbearable price, Yun Wanren did not hesitate to choose to throw away Yun Wuxiu.

"Who?"

"It is my foolish offspring, Yun Wuxiu!"

Yun Wanren spoke frankly: "He was afraid of Li Daozi's amazing strength, but he was unwilling to give up the title of the number one Daoist. That's why he colluded with Luo Hou of the Supreme Demon Sect to provide him with the convenience to assassinate Li Daozi... I have already ordered someone to take him down and hand him over to Sect Master Lu for disposal."

As he spoke, his heart was so heavy with sorrow that it felt like it was bleeding.

But he still dared not hide anything.

When he saw that Li Xian had actually survived the battle with Luo Hou, he understood why Lu Linyuan, the sect leader of the Great Luo Immortal Sect, had personally appeared.

That's Rahu, the Demon Lord!

These demonic giants, who had gained the approval of the Purple Cloud Palace, were all ruthlessly slaughtered by Li Xian...

This Mr. Li...

What kind of unparalleled, peerless beauty, a true immortal, is he, on par with Yi Yuanshi, Zhou Yuchen, and Chu Yunji?
He is clearly a celestial being from a cave who will lead the Great Luo Immortal Sect to a revival and prosperity in the future!

For the safety of such seeds, it wouldn't be excessive for even the sect leader, Lu Linyuan, to personally come, or even for a Pure Yang True Immortal to secretly protect them.

He has harmed such a prodigy whose fate is tied to the prosperity of the sect. Let alone protecting Yun Wuxiu, it's questionable whether he can even protect himself.

"Yun Wuxiu?"

Li Xian, on the other hand, was somewhat surprised when he heard the name: "He looked so confident, saying he wanted to challenge me to a match in two months. I thought he really had some skills, but I didn't expect that to be all?"

Lu Linyuan smiled and glanced at Li Xian: "Although Yun Wuxiu possesses many ninth-realm magic treasures, he may not be able to defeat Leng Xingshu in a life-or-death battle. Moreover, your growth rate has exceeded everyone's expectations. If Yun Wuxiu really wants to fight you, he should do it as soon as possible, rather than waiting two months later."

After listening, Li Xian felt that there was some truth to it.

"Ok?"

After a moment, he realized something, glanced at Sect Master Lu, and couldn't help but ponder his sect master's evaluation of Yun Wuxiu and Leng Xingchu...

"The sect leader actually knows so much about Yun Wuxiu's strength?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Linyuan's expression became slightly awkward.

The gazes of Yun Wanren, Yun Wanshan, Wu Ying, and other wandering immortals from the Boundless Immortal Dynasty involuntarily fell upon him.

So, apart from the suddenly appearing Demon Lord Rahu...

Are all the people in the Boundless Immortal Dynasty just stepping stones that were secretly prepared in advance?

"Cough cough..."

Lu Linyuan coughed lightly, but quickly regained his composure: "Our Great Luo Immortal Sect is quite familiar with the outstanding talents born from the surrounding forces."

He turned his gaze directly to Li Xian: "Leave the rest to the sect. You may return to your sect."

"No rush."

Li Xian said, "Although Yun Wuxiu's strength is not satisfactory, I did have a duel with him. Since we have made a promise, we should abide by it. It is not too late to return to the sect after the battle."

“You honored the duel, but Yun Wuxiu clearly did not. He colluded with demonic cultivators, intending to kill you before the final battle. Besides, you killed Luo Hou on the spot. What is there to fight about a top True Monarch who relies on the advantage of magic weapons and whose actual combat strength is not even as good as Leng Xing Shu?”

As Lu Linyuan spoke, he waved his hand and transmitted his thoughts through divine sense: "Go back to the sect. Soon, the Immortal Realm will open. Originally, I did not consider sending you there because it is too dangerous. But after the battle with Luo Hou... I think you may also go and try your luck."

"The Immortal Realm?"

Li Xian's heart stirred.

"That... is the true ultimate battlefield! All the top Dao Realm cultivators and True Monarchs in the entire True Immortal Great World will gather there to obtain the Immortal Realm's inheritance..."

Lu Linyuan gave a brief explanation.

"All the top Dao Realm cultivators and True Monarchs in the True Immortal Great World!?"

Li Xian's spirits lifted.

all!?

At this moment, he suddenly remembered that before the Demon Lord Rahu's assassination attempt on him failed and he escaped through the void, he seemed to have said that four months later, when the Immortal Realm opened, he would come back to fight to the death.
The world of True Immortals actually has such a life-or-death arena?

To fight to the death with all the Dao Realm experts and top True Monarchs?
He immediately replied, "Alright! I'll return to the sect right away!"

Go back to the sect and ask Xuanling what kind of treasure land the Immortal Realm really is.

"Well, just to be safe, I'll give you a ride."

As Lu Linyuan spoke, he made a fist with his hand and said, "Watch carefully."

An invisible force of void energy condensed in front of him and began to collapse at an incredible speed.

This collapse process stirred up a vast and powerful void force, making the entire space unstable.

Li Xian observed and also gained some insights.

The next moment, he suddenly drew his sword and thrust it out...

This void, which had already begun to collapse, seemed to have been directly pierced open, creating a passage connecting this place to another space.

Void Sword Escape!

This scene, witnessed by Lu Linyuan, made him unable to suppress his smile.

He suddenly waved his hand again, and all the power of the void was drawn in and poured down.

In an instant, Li Xian's body vanished into the void, disappearing without a trace.

Moreover, this time, with the help of Lu Linyuan, a Pure Yang True Immortal, the distance traversed by the Void Sword Escape was unprecedented.

They traveled tens of thousands of miles, even hundreds of thousands of miles, and returned directly to the territory of the Great Luo Immortal Sect.

After doing all this, Lu Linyuan turned his gaze to Yun Wanren, Yun Wanshan, and Wu Ying...

Before he could speak, Wu Ying immediately stepped forward and said, "Senior Brother Lu, I will personally take action to capture and deal with Yun Wuxiu. Furthermore, this incident was indeed the fault of our Boundless Immortal Dynasty. We are willing to give your sect the disputed 100,000-mile Longquan Mountain as compensation, and also offer three Dao artifacts..."

"Not enough!" Although Lu Linyuan was in a good mood after learning about Li Xian's true strength, and Wu Ying and he had a fairly good relationship, he would not easily give up on the points where he needed to bargain.

He glanced at Yun Wanren first: "Raising such a son is your incompetence! Abdicate and be imprisoned for a thousand years!"

Abdication, imprisonment for a thousand years...

Yun Wanren felt bitter.

But he knew very well that this result was already good; if the sect leader were in a bad mood, he would never let it go.

He cupped his hands in greeting, not daring to reveal even a trace of the humiliation and resentment in his heart: "Thank you for your mercy, Sect Master Lu. I, Wan Ren, accept the punishment."

Upon seeing this, Wu Ying breathed a slight sigh of relief: "Then this matter..."

"We've only just begun."

Lu Linyuan interrupted her: "I want partial control of the Boundless Calamity Wave Array! In addition, the airspace of all core cities of the Boundless Immortal Dynasty must be open to the Great Luo Immortal Sect, and the Great Luo Immortal Sect's flying ships can freely navigate over the Boundless Immortal Dynasty..."

Without giving them a chance to refuse, he said, "Don't bring up the rules of the Yaoyang Immortal Sect. If the Yaoyang Immortal Sect has any objections, let them talk to me. In short, these are my conditions, and there is no room for negotiation..."

These judgment-like remarks caused Yun Wanren to lower his head deeply.

A true immortal! A true immortal!
If the Boundless Immortal Dynasty had even one true immortal, it would never be in this situation, where there isn't even the slightest room for negotiation.

And now...

I am the fish on the chopping block!
……

Lu Linyuan's punishment of the Boundless Immortal Dynasty was quickly handed down.

On the other side...

Crown Prince Yun Wuxiu, residing in the imperial palace outside the capital, had just received the news from the capital.

When he learned from Yun Guantian, who brought the news, that the Demon Lord Luo Hou had taken the pass from him and, without the slightest hesitation, rushed to the capital of the Immortal Dynasty to assassinate Li Xianhou, he was completely stunned.

"Rahu...how could he be so fast!?"

He felt a little worried: "In such a short time, I wonder if Father Emperor has reached an agreement with the Yaoyang Immortal Sect and the Nine Heavens Holy Land yet..."

Immediately afterward, he eagerly inquired, "What was the reaction from the Great Luo Immortal Sect? Li Xian died in our capital... Even if he was killed by a demon from the Supreme Demon Sect, the Great Luo Immortal Sect will surely hold a grudge. How did Father Emperor deal with it? Did the Radiant Sun Immortal Sect intervene?"

He clearly knew that killing Li Xian would be easy.

The difficulty lies in how to handle the aftermath.

only……

Yun Guantian looked somewhat dazed, as if he could hardly believe it.

After a long pause, he finally replied, "The assassination attempt by the Demon Lord Rahu... seems to have failed."

"fail?"

Yun Wuxiu couldn't help but tilt her head and stare at this outstanding member of the royal family who was also her: "What do you mean by 'seemingly failed'? You're not going to tell me that even though the Demon Lord Luo Hou personally tried to assassinate Li Xian, he still managed to escape?"

"That's why I used the word 'seems'."

Yun Guantian composed himself and said bitterly, "Judging from the information gathered by everyone, although Luo Hou made a move and even summoned the Zixiao Dao Palace, going all out, he ultimately failed to kill Li Xian..."

He paused, then continued, "But this result is so unbelievable that no one dares to be truly certain..."

"They couldn't kill Li Xian... Even with the Demon Lord Rahu's intervention, they couldn't kill Li Xian!?"

Yun Wuxiu was utterly shocked, as if struck by lightning. He couldn't help but mutter to himself, "How is this possible... How is this possible!? That's the Rahu Demon Lord, who roamed the Western Continent and was invincible in the Dao Realm! In the True Immortal Great World, apart from Zhang Taiyuan and Song Yunqing, even Gu Xianyi wouldn't dare say he could outdo him! How could such a figure, who is known as a Heavenly Monarch, fail to assassinate Li Xian!?"

Is there any possibility...?

Yun Guantian asked with difficulty, "Then Li Xian... also has the strength of a Heavenly Monarch?"

"The Heavenly Lord? How is that possible?! He's clearly only slightly stronger than Leng Xing Shu..."

"Brother, have you forgotten that whether Li Xian fought Xiao Zhanfeng or clashed with me and Chu Yunji, he never used any magic weapons! As an unparalleled genius of the Great Luo Immortal Sect, no one would believe that he doesn't possess one or two ninth-realm magic weapons?"

Yun Guantian paused for a moment: "Even, even Dao artifacts..."

He didn't continue.

But Yun Wuxiu understood.

"A Dao artifact! A Dao artifact! A Dao artifact!"

He uttered the words "Dao Qi" three times in succession.

The further I went, the more frustrated and powerless I felt.

Yi Yuanshi had a Dao artifact by his side, so how could Li Xian, whose talent was slightly higher than Yi Yuanshi's, not be given a Dao artifact for protection?
As long as he possesses a powerful protective artifact, he can ultimately withstand the assassination attempt by the Demon Lord Rahu, it seems...

It is not impossible.

"Even Luo Hou couldn't kill Li Xian... Our duel is only a month away..."

Yun Wuxiu murmured, "How could this happen... What... What should we do now! What should we do!?"

Yun Guantian, however, glanced at his elder brother, the Crown Prince, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Although Luo Hou failed to kill Li Xian, it wasn't entirely meaningless for you, Your Majesty..."

He paused, then continued, "Especially given that Li Xian seems to still have the courage to pursue Luo Hou..."

"what?"

Yun Wuxiu was taken aback.

“Brother, think about it. That Li Xian is so powerful that even Luo Hou couldn’t assassinate him. He even dared to chase after Luo Hou, the Demon Lord. This shows that he must have the strength of a Heavenly Monarch! Although you are stronger than Leng Xing Shu, you are only at the level of a top True Monarch. It’s not normal for you to be defeated by a Heavenly Monarch, is it?”

“Li Xian, Luo Hou, Tian Jun… I was defeated by him…”

After being reminded by him, Yun Wuxiu's thoughts immediately became clear.

His face gradually changed from worry to surprise at preserving his reputation: "That's right, what's so shameful about me losing to a Heavenly Lord? No matter how strong I am, can I be stronger than a Heavenly Lord? Even a powerful being like Luo Hou, who roamed the Western Continent, couldn't do anything to Li Xian. Even if I really lose in the end, no one will blame me, don't you think?"

"You don't need to worry about that."

Before Yun Guantian could answer, a clear, cold voice pierced the air.

"Because, there's no longer that opportunity."

As divine sense swept through, a terrifying pressure rolled down, instantly enveloping the entire palace.

In an instant, everyone inside the palace was alarmed.

Whether it was Chu Yunji residing in the palace or the palace guards, they all made their appearance.

However, when they saw Yun Wanshan and Wu Ying, two great Nascent Soul Immortals, appear at the same time, they bowed and greeted each other: "Greetings, Elder."

The two ignored the guards and went directly to the main hall where Yun Wuxiu was.

Startled, Yun Wuxiu immediately came out and bowed in greeting: "Ancestor Wanshan, Elder Wuying, what brings you two elders here..."

Wu Ying stared at Yun Wuxiu, his expression somewhat complicated.

While feeling frustrated by their lack of progress, I also felt a sense of regret.

Although far less outstanding than Li Xian and Yi Yuanshi, Yun Wuxiu possesses top-tier True Monarch-level strength...

Although he only reached the top True Monarch level by relying on three Ninth Realm magic treasures, his high talent is beyond doubt.

He is absolutely second only to the peerless genius.

If they don't perish halfway through their journey, they might have a great chance of becoming immortals.

It's even possible to achieve harmony between heaven, earth, and humanity, open up new realms, and cultivate oneself into an earth immortal.

But now...

It's just that he made the wrong decision.

Even if the original intention of this decision was to uphold the dignity of the Immortal Dynasty.

"Alright, that's enough. Yun Wuxiu, you've been caught."

Although Yun Wanshan felt regretful, he was rather selfish.

If throwing out a message that Yun Wuxiu can protect the Boundless Immortal Dynasty, protect himself, and quell the anger of the Great Luo Immortal Sect, that's enough.

"You colluded with Rahu, the Demon Lord of the Supreme Demon Sect, providing him with a pass to enter and exit the Boundless Calamity Wave Array, enabling him to assassinate Li Xian, the Daoist Child of the Great Luo Immortal Sect... This behavior is extremely heinous and beyond description. I hereby announce that you are sentenced to death! Execution immediately!"

He said coldly.

Upon hearing this, Yun Wuxiu was completely stunned.

death penalty!?
Li Xian didn't die, did he?
He! The Crown Prince of the Boundless Immortal Dynasty, is about to be sentenced to death by his own imperial ancestor for such a trivial matter!?
Execute immediately?!

Startled, Chu Yunji exclaimed in panic, "How could this be? His Highness has been staying at the palace all this time and hasn't gone anywhere. How could he be colluding with the Demon Lord Rahu? Could there be some misunderstanding?"

"Staying at the palace the whole time?"

Yun Wanshan glanced at Chu Yunji: "Do you think he was really staying outside the city to adjust his condition? And he even brought you with him? He's using you as bait to lure the Demon Lord Rahu to come looking for him!"

After saying that, he snorted coldly: "You should be glad that for Luo Hou, Li Xian is a greater temptation than you. Before killing Li Xian, he didn't want to alert the enemy. Otherwise, you would have been a corpse on the first night he came to the palace! You should also be glad that Luo Hou was not as strong as Li Xian and fled in panic after the failed assassination. If he had easily killed Li Xian, he would not have hesitated to come to the palace again and kill you as well!"

"I...I'm the bait?"

Chu Yunji suddenly opened her eyes wide and looked at the Crown Prince Yun Wuxiu beside her with disbelief.

he……

They actually used her as bait.

"No...it can't be..."

She was about to speak up for Yun Wuxiu when the Crown Prince of the Immortal Dynasty spoke first: "No, Li Xian is not dead, is he? Luo Hou did not kill him at all, and you want to hand me over?! I am the Crown Prince of the current dynasty. Even if you are elders of the Immortal Realm, you cannot deceive me like this!"

"Yun Wanren?"

Yun Wanshan sneered, "Why do you think we're here to execute you? Yun Wanren has been forced to abdicate and imprisoned for a thousand years for failing to properly educate his son! Now, he can barely protect himself..."

"Alright, that's enough. After we've dealt with it, send his body to the Great Luo Immortal Sect to appease Sect Master Lu's anger."

Wu Ying interrupted him.

At the same time, as he reached out, a force powerful enough to bind the void gradually condensed and transformed into a giant hand.

She looked at Yun Wuxiu, a hint of sorrow in her eyes: "If there's anyone to blame, it's our Boundless Immortal Dynasty... for not having any true immortals!"

"no no……"

Yun Wuxiu felt the terrifying aura that constricted the void, almost immobilizing him, and his whole body trembled uncontrollably: "No, elders, you can't treat me like this! I am the Crown Prince, I have rendered meritorious service to the Immortal Dynasty, I have shed blood for the Immortal Dynasty, I want to see my father..."

"Oh!"

Before he could finish speaking, the giant hand gripped him tightly. As the surrounding void power seemed to surge towards the center of the giant hand, it contracted and collapsed. The prince's body was instantly crushed by the void power and turned into a blood mist.
