Chapter 963: Chapter 653: Immortal Boat! That is the Immortal Boat!!!

Luoshui Riverside.

At this moment, a gentle breeze brushed past, carrying the moisture of the river water and the fragrance of distant flowers, caressing people’s faces as if nature were tenderly showing its love.

The river flowed quietly, its surface sparkling like countless tiny diamonds twinkling in the morning light, clear enough to see the occasional fish darting through, stirring up small ripples.

By the riverbank, the lush grassland resembled a vast green velvet carpet, dotted with colorful wildflowers competing in beauty, diffusing a faint aroma, with distant verdant mountains under the blue sky and white clouds creating a harmonious scenery.

The air was filled with the moist scent of soil and the sweet smell of flowers, refreshing and uplifting, while a few butterflies danced through the flowers, adding vitality.

However, such a peaceful and serene scene was soon disrupted; the river began to tremble, and the ground shook too, frightening the riverside butterflies into chaotic flight.

...

Before long, troops began to appear by the river, and suddenly the atmosphere at Luoshui Riverside became oppressive, filled with a deadly seriousness.

As time ticked by, more cultivators gathered at the riverside; soon, people saw the Linghu Sect, one of the three major powers, arrive at the Luoshui Riverside.

Seeing the Linghu Sect, the disciples of various forces became more vigilant. During the negotiations, the three major powers would certainly dominate.

The three major powers would inevitably try to extract as much land from the Sum Emperor as possible; later on, the remaining forces would be left with scraps.

Thus, the disciples from the Misty World outside the three major powers were already prepared to conflict with them. Although none among them could match the three major powers individually, united, they feared them not.

Gu Qizheng led his disciples from the Linghu Sect to Luoshui Riverside and waited a long time before Baili Chen leisurely arrived with his disciples from the Misty Immortal Sect.

Seeing Baili Chen, Gu Qizheng sarcastically said, “Baili Chen, negotiation is such a significant event, yet your sect arrives so late. Aren’t you worried that by the time your Misty Immortal Sect gets here, there won’t be much of Daxia’s land left to claim?”

Baili Chen responded indifferently, “How much land one can claim depends on their strength, not on who arrives early or late.”

“The stronger the force, the more confidence they have, hence they are not in such a rush.”

Hearing Baili Chen’s words, Gu Qizheng mockingly said, “Oh, is that so? The disciples of the Ten Thousand Immortal Sect haven’t arrived yet; does that mean their strength surpasses even your Misty Immortal Sect?”

Baili Chen was taken aback briefly, then he looked around and indeed saw no signs of the Ten Thousand Immortal Sect’s disciples.

Baili Chen frowned slightly; he had thought they were already quite late in arriving, not realizing there would be forces even later than them.

He had even intentionally delayed some time and made certain arrangements in the outskirts of Luoshui Riverside before coming, yet the disciples of the Ten Thousand Immortal Sect were even slower?

Could it be that Bai Guangyu had also been making some arrangements on the outskirts of Luoshui Riverside?

At that moment, Baili Chen said with a smile, “Could it be that Bai Guangyu is afraid this negotiation is some plot by Great Sum, hence he dares not come?”

Gu Qizheng said, “That’s hard to say.”

They both knew well that the Sum Emperor wasn’t truly interested in negotiating; he surely had some ulterior motives, considering he had initiated moves to sow discord in Black Dragon City. He wasn’t a peace-seeking emperor.

Nevertheless, the major powers didn’t care whether Lu Chen was a peace-seeking emperor; in their view, as long as they and the Emperor were present, no amount of scheming from the Emperor would succeed.

If they got the upper hand and the Emperor didn’t deliver results satisfactory to everyone, it was improbable for him to leave unscathed.

It was highly likely he would end up imprisoned by one of the powers.

Despite the odd behavior of Bai Guangyu and the Ten Thousand Immortal Sect disciples, Gu Qizheng and Baili Chen didn’t dwell on it; they continued to wait at Luoshui Riverside.

However, they waited a long time and still didn’t see the Ten Thousand Immortal Sect’s disciples appear, which started to unease Baili Chen.

At this point, Baili Chen asked, “Gu Qizheng, I’m curious, what has the Envoy of Daxia told you?”

Gu Qizheng responded, “That envoy, sent by Lei Wende, told me that Daxia is now under the Ten Thousand Immortal Sect, warning us to be cautious of them.”

Hearing Gu Qizheng’s words, Baili Chen frowned, his expression growing grave.

Seeing Baili Chen’s troubled look, Gu Qizheng asked, “What’s wrong? Could it be that the Ten Thousand Immortal Sect really has something amiss?”

Gu Qizheng was also feeling that something was wrong now, although originally he had thought that the envoy was merely trying to drive a wedge between them.

But the Ten Thousand Immortal Sect’s absence was indeed too unusual.

Baili Chen then said, “I’m afraid… we’ve all been deceived by the Ten Thousand Immortal Sect!”

Just as Baili Chen’s words fell, a sudden horn sounded from afar, as if coming from the sky.

Instantly, everyone’s gaze turned towards the sky; however, the sky was clear and cloudless, showing nothing.

Immediately, people looked towards the distance, but there was nothing there either.

Baili Chen and Gu Qizheng were increasingly feeling that something was wrong, suspecting that all this was the doing of the Ten Thousand Immortal Sect.

When they first arrived in the Tianchen World, the disciples of their two sects had gone missing. Although Bai Guangyu’s explanation could indeed account for their inexplicable disappearance, they hadn’t completely trusted him.

Until now, the disciples of the Ten Thousand Immortal Sect had not appeared, and coupled with the warning from the Envoy of Daxia, their suspicions grew that this was not merely causing discord, but was actually true.

At that moment, a disciple of the Linghu Sect suddenly shouted loudly, “Look at the sky!!!”

The next moment, all forces by the Luoshui riverside were thrown into chaos.

“My god! There are Flying Boats in this world too!”

“Such a huge Flying Boat! How can the Daxia Dynasty have such a huge Flying Boat!”

“That doesn’t seem like a Flying Boat, Flying Boats can’t possibly have so many formation patterns!”

“An Immortal Boat! That’s an Immortal Boat!!!”

…

Everyone was dumbfounded.

A lower world actually had an Immortal Boat!!!

No forces in the Misty World had an Immortal Boat; if they did, they would have left this lower world long ago and would not have come to compete with other forces over the land of the inferior Tianchen World.

At the sight of the Immortal Boat, not a single cultivator in the Misty World harbored any thoughts of greed, only deep-seated fear, for they knew very well that a force that owned and could control an Immortal Boat must be exceedingly powerful, and all the powers of the Misty World combined were likely no match for the owner of the Immortal Boat.

Gu Qizheng and Baili Chen had already turned pale from fear because of the Immortal Boat in the sky, when suddenly, a loud voice came from the Immortal Boat.

“Greetings to the friends of the Misty World, I am the ruler of the Tianchen World, the Emperor of the Daxia Dynasty. Sorry to have kept you waiting!”

Hearing this, the crowd below was thrown into chaos again.

“This is the Sum Emperor’s Immortal Boat!”

“Impossible, absolutely impossible, a mere ordinary Emperor of a lower world can’t possibly have an Immortal Boat!”

“The person above can’t be the Sum Emperor!”

“What should we do now!”

…

Generally, an Immortal Boat comes equipped with an attack formation, and its power is immense. The cultivators of the Unity Realm could not withstand the attacks from the Immortal Boat’s formation.

At this time, all cultivators by the Luoshui Riverside were contemplating the idea of escape.

At this moment, Lu Chen’s voice continued to resonate in the air.

“I had originally planned to have a proper discussion with you all, but to my surprise, some among you went so far as to kill the envoy I had sent. This is a blatant disregard of my authority, a disregard for the Daxia Dynasty, a barefaced provocation, a declaration of war!”

Hearing Lu Chen’s words, people realized what might happen next. Baili Chen immediately said to the disciples of the Misty Immortal Sect, “Something’s wrong, retreat!”

As his voice died away, Baili Chen hurriedly led his disciples toward the direction of the Misty World. Seeing that the disciples of the Misty Immortal Sect were escaping, Gu Qizheng did not hesitate at all and immediately led the disciples of the Linghu Sect to join the fleeing ranks.

They had come to the Tianchen World to bully the weak and carve up the land, not to court death.

The Daxia Dynasty even had an Immortal Boat; at first glance, they were no ordinary dynasty, and accurately speaking, that Sum Emperor must not be a regular emperor. There must be a superpower back supporting him.

They could not afford to provoke him.

As cultivators of the Cultivation World, they were well aware that some forces from the High-Level Cultivation Realm liked to send their disciples or clan members to lower worlds for cultivation experience.

If a lower world had an Immortal Boat, they were likely facing such a scenario. In such a case, other than fleeing, they had no other options.

They weren’t even Celestials, so how could they possibly confront an Immortal Boat, to say nothing of confronting a Flying Boat from the High-Level Cultivation Realm.

Escaping now wasn’t shameful at all, preserving their lives was of utmost importance.

After the disciples of the Misty Immortal Sect and Linghu Sect chose to flee, other forces of the Misty World also quickly reacted and joined the fleeing ranks.

Some disciples of these forces cursed as they fled.

“It’s all the fault of the three major powers, had to open a space rift! They’ve really killed us now!”

“Who exactly is the Sum Emperor allied with? Can’t he have some shame and go to a high-level world for his cultivation trials instead of coming to such a low-level world?”

“Even if I die and become a wandering ghost, I won’t let the disciples of the three major powers go!”
