Return of the Immortal Emperor Daddy

Chapter 665: Chapter 668: Where You Came From, Go Back There [3rd Update, Please Subscribe]

Lan Zhan stood there, dumbfounded. With his limited intellect, he simply couldn’t figure out why Wu Tian would do such a thing.

Qing Taishen, just like him, represented the Sea Sect. To discipline him was to slap the Sea Sect across the face. Let alone kill him?

Wu Tian continued toward Qin Yuhan’s attic, carrying the little one. He didn’t walk fast. In his Spiritual Sense, he could perceive that Qin Yuhan and the tigress had already started fighting. Initially, Qin Yuhan was no match for her opponent, but she was gradually learning how to fight and was even beginning to hold her own.

This was possible because the tigress, not wanting to attract too much attention, wasn’t using her full strength. Even so, it was no small feat for Qin Yuhan to have come this far. In the cruel Immortal Emperor Realm, Wu Tian hoped Qin Yuhan would grow stronger, and this tigress was the perfect sparring partner. For that reason, he was in no rush. If anything unexpected happened, he could deploy his Spiritual Martial Skills and respond immediately.

Seeing Wu Tian start to walk away, Lan Zhan shook his head. He immediately ran to block Wu Tian’s path and asked furiously, "You killed Qing Taishen! Aren’t you afraid of the Sea Sect’s wrath?"

The Sea Sect’s wrath?

Hearing this, Wu Tian let out a cold, disdainful laugh. His eyes looked down upon the world as he said arrogantly, "In my eyes, what does the Sea Sect amount to?"

"Yeah, it’s nothing at all," the little one in Wu Tian’s arms chimed in with a sniffle, also wanting to attract some attention.

"What?" Lan Zhan was stunned and then enraged. He had grown up in the Sea Sect; it was his home. He would not allow Wu Tian to speak of it that way. "The Sea Sect adopts orphans and has opened its granaries to the poor for years! How can you say such things?"

Hearing this, Wu Tian laughed. He glanced at Lan Zhan’s face, and after a moment of calculation with his fingers, he laughed even harder. The so-called orphans the Sea Sect adopted weren’t orphans to begin with. Their parents had all been killed by the Sea Sect! That was how they became orphans. As for opening the granaries? The Sect Master feared retribution in his old age, so he often distributed grain, thinking he could atone for his sins. He believed that such acts could wash away the guilt from so many years of killing.

Wu Tian mocked, "You have the face of someone who would call a thief ’father’."

"You!" Lan Zhan was furious and about to attack.

TAP. TAP. TAP.

At that moment, the sound of footsteps echoed from midair. A youth in a dragon robe arrived, riding a white horse. This horse was pure white, save for a lightning bolt insignia on its forehead. It was a fine steed. The dragon robe the youth wore was attire exclusive to the royal family. After dismounting, he strode forward arrogantly. "What happened here?"

"Prince Tianjiao," Lan Zhan said, immediately calming down upon seeing the newcomer.

"What did you say?" Tianjiao asked, clearly displeased.

"You have been deposed as Crown Prince by His Majesty. The Crown Prince of Qian Zhong Country is now Crown Prince Tianlong, not you. I can only address you as Prince Tianjiao," Lan Zhan explained carefully, though without much tact. The words completely offended the prince. Lan Zhan hadn’t expected Prince Tianjiao to be here.

Tianjiao’s status was extraordinary. His father was the Monarch of Qian Zhong Country, and his mother’s family was vastly superior to Crown Prince Tianlong’s maternal family. Tianjiao’s mother was of half-Beast Clan blood. At the time, the Monarch had been unaware of this when he mistakenly slept with the wild woman. By the time he found out, it was too late. Under threat from the Snake Clan, he was forced to marry her. In other words, Tianjiao’s maternal grandfather was the king of the Snake Clan, and no one dared to underestimate him.

The Monarch of Qian Zhong Country had only dared to dethrone Tianjiao this time because that Tianlong had recently had a fortuitous encounter.

"I’m not here to waste words with you. I’ve come to find someone," Tianjiao said suddenly.

"You’re also looking for someone?" Lan Zhan asked, slightly stunned. "May I ask who the prince is looking for?"

"Wu Tian!" Tianjiao replied.

Lan Zhan pointed at Wu Tian. Tianjiao’s eyes lit up. The person he was searching for was right here!

"You are also looking for Wu Tian?" Tianjiao asked, a thought occurring to him.

"Yes," Lan Zhan dared not refuse to answer the prince’s question.

"Your Sea Sect wants Wu Tian to join you, is that right?" Tianjiao stated indifferently.

Lan Zhan nodded.

"Good. You can leave now," Tianjiao said, his tone cooling slightly.

"What?" Lan Zhan was startled again. When he recovered his senses, he said, "The mission isn’t complete. How can I leave?"

"Hehehe..." Tianjiao let out a cold laugh.

Lan Zhan didn’t understand why Tianjiao was laughing.

Suddenly, Tianjiao’s smile vanished. Without another word, he swiped a clawed hand at Lan Zhan. Lan Zhan’s spiritual stone armor reappeared instantly. But Tianjiao’s claw was no ordinary thing—it was a snake’s claw! Snakes don’t have limbs, but if one grows claws, they are the precursor to a Jiao’s claws!

The Jiao claw shot forward and seized Lan Zhan’s unprotected neck.

"Lan Zhan, everyone says you’re all brawn and no brains, and it seems they’re right! You covered your whole body in stone but left your neck exposed? Heh. Die, fool."

With a sharp twist, Lan Zhan was dead.

Tianjiao sneered. If the Sea Sect came looking for trouble, he had several ways to smooth things over and completely disassociate himself from the matter.

"Wu Tian," Tianjiao said, turning to him.

"What is it?" Wu Tian asked, his tone flat, giving the impression that he was not an easy person to talk to.

Tianjiao’s brow furrowed slightly. He had come this time to recruit Wu Tian. In his opinion, Wu Tian was a great talent. If Wu Tian helped him, his chances of contending with Tianlong for the position of Crown Prince would increase greatly.

"Heh, quite the personality. I like it," Tianjiao said, trying to diffuse the awkward atmosphere before getting straight to the point. "Wu Tian, I hope you will become my right-hand man."

A prince of a mere Four-Star force, and he wants an Immortal Emperor to be his right-hand man? Did he get his head caught in the door on his way out this morning?

Wu Tian remained silent, his heart filled with disdain.

Seeing Wu Tian’s silence, Tianjiao assumed he was considering whether he, Tianjiao, would be a worthy master. He mulled over his words for a moment before continuing, "Wu Tian, I know you are incredibly talented. I assure you, I am no frog in a well. I am definitely a master worthy of your service."

"I have great ambitions, and I am not satisfied with a mere Four-Star force. If I become Monarch, Qian Zhong Country will one day be a Five-Star force, or even a Six-Star one!"

"Wu Tian, I have the ambition, and you have the talent. If we cooperate, we can surely build the vast River and Mountains of a Six-Star power!" Tianjiao looked at Wu Tian, hopeful for his agreement.

Wu Tian smiled. He couldn’t really blame Tianjiao. A man who earns a hundred Gold Coins a day might think he’d be rich if he could just earn ten thousand. In the eyes of the truly wealthy, however, he’s still just a frog in a well.

Wu Tian still responded indifferently, "This is what you call grand ambition? You’re only a fraction smarter than Lan Zhan. Scram back to wherever you came from."
