Perfect Double Agent

What a sight this was! It was astonishing, and it horrified the countless creatures of this foreign land.

"What happened? Is this child so highly regarded...?" Jin Taijun, who was following at the back, was unaware of what was happening. She thought everyone was kneeling before the Immortal King.

In reality, the figures sitting cross-legged inside the open palace gates were truly striking, especially in the hearts of the creatures from other lands. It was an indelible majesty imprinted deep within their bloodlines.

And there wasn't just one, there were three!

"I traded back some kind of monster..."

Qimin Immortal was shocked. He had only brought the person back; no one had instructed him to do so. It was simply a plan to use this child to turn against Jiutian.

But you actually gave me this, holding the head of the Immortal King, with two other figures beside you. What realm are you from?!

Not only was he stunned, but the other four immortals were also dumbfounded, their heads bowed, like five petrified old servants.

Behind them were a group of supreme beings, especially the one who had been injured before, who immediately withdrew his hands and knelt on the ground, not daring to move.

"They're finally gone..."

"It's over...a century of peace..."

Before the city gates of the Imperial Pass, countless creatures breathed a sigh of relief; the other party had not crossed the boundary but had returned.

However, that unparalleled power was still imprinted in the minds of every living being. "The Little Immortal King's sacrifice was not in vain after all... but the other party seems to value the Little Immortal King very much..."

"Would the Little Immortal King one day in the future descend upon my realm in a different form...?"

"Perhaps it's because of his bloodline. I've heard that members of the Imperial Clan are very rare, and the Little Immortal King might have caught the eye of An Lan..."

The assembled supreme beings are still in shock. They were too hasty; no one expected the little immortal king to be so valuable that an immortal king would personally greet him.

If the Little Immortal King were to return one day, it would likely trigger a catastrophe. Their heroes, forced to leave, would be favored by an immortal king, which would be a huge embarrassment.

Perhaps from this day forward, all races in the world will curse them for being blind and utterly ignorant.

The little fairy king is shining brightly, yet you pushed him out. Even the immortal king didn't hesitate to lower himself to personally welcome him, but what about you? Do you think he has better taste than you?

It was a resounding slap, loud and clear. Although the Immortal King did not attack them, it struck their faces silently, making a loud slapping sound.

They had already foreseen the overwhelming infamy that was about to engulf them. Without a doubt, although they had saved the Imperial Pass, they had become sinners in the eyes of the heavens.

However, Jiutian still had things to do: he had to eliminate the Feng family, appease the Jin family, and deal with the three deans.

They guarded the Imperial Pass, while the three guarded the Great Crimson Heaven. They would only respond from the front and wouldn't send anything, but in the end, they still did it.

This could very well trigger an internal rift, and if not handled properly, it could lead to serious problems.

The crowd looked up and glanced at the two chariots that had already emerged from the army. Each one was so clearly visible, as if it had manifested in the hearts of countless people.

"Respectfully seeing off our King!"

All the alien armies were shouting wildly, their cries even louder than before, as if the heavens and earth were collapsing, the sound alone shattering the sky of that realm.

One sound... three sounds... nine sounds... twelve sounds!

Twelve enormous shouts rang out, from the immortals, the supreme beings, and millions of soldiers, each shouting in unison, a sight that shook the very soul and a sound that resounded throughout the universe.

This is terrifying. It's like the supreme being of all races. Just hearing about it makes one's mind go blank and one's body go weak. Even the supreme beings tremble.

Once you appear, who in the world will not know you?

But no one connected the dots to the Little Immortal King; only the Immortal Palace, which had been turned away from them, gradually receded into the distance until it disappeared from sight.

The entire Imperial Pass was shrouded in gloom. The Supreme Beings remained silent, while the many Grand Knights gripped their lances tightly, filled with resentment at their incompetence.

Over the years, they have led the team in the fight, they have charged into battle, shed blood and sacrificed their lives. Death is not scary, there has never been a shortage of tough men, but what is the meaning of such sacrifice, and what has been gained in return?

Did it result in the betrayal led by the immortal families? Did it result in the departure of the Little Immortal King? Or did it result in the inaction of these powerful figures? They were truly confused.

It's all the Little Immortal King's fault for losing something. They risked their lives to enter and leave the Divine Medicine Mountain Range, sending message after message, asking people to come and pick up the Little Immortal King, so that at least they could protect him. But not a single person came.

This is a pain in the hearts of all the tribes of Diguan. They used to admire those great figures because they protected the Nine Heavens. But look at them now, look at that abyss. Some people recognized the group of old people there. The lines that had erupted on their foreheads back then were very clear.

Those were the Stone Clan, and there were even many ragged children among them. They were constantly fighting and were the true guardians, blocking wave after wave of attacks from the alien realm.

However, the Stone Clan were criminals in this Imperial Pass, kept like slaves in a corner of the pass, and could only gain their freedom by killing enemies and earning merit.

How many more tragic incidents like this are there? Why is no one giving those people justice? If the Stone Clan is like this, what will happen to their tribes in the future?

The foreign troops withdrew in an orderly manner, but within the Imperial Pass, people's hearts were in turmoil. What they witnessed in a single day left most disheartened, and the various unfair treatments, like cold water, extinguished the burning passion in many hearts.

……

……

At this moment, in that other world.

"Is this another realm...? It really has a complete Great Dao. The life-giving substances in this world are very clear. It is indeed possible to become an immortal..."

Following behind the Celestial Palace, Jin Taijun secretly observed this world. If this border region was already so treacherous, wouldn't it be possible to find a famous place and be given another chance to live?

Because completing the Great Dao Laws is a transformation in itself, and if there are enough rare and precious materials, there is a high probability that one can take that step.

But she needs to come up with a new plan.

Her original plan was to help the alien beings search for the Little Immortal King's soul after arriving in the alien realm, and also to act as a persuader to convince the Little Immortal King to surrender. Moreover, she held a high position and power in the Imperial Pass and knew many secrets, which could all become her bargaining chips.

In addition, she herself is not particularly remarkable. The focus of attention in the foreign land is on the Little Immortal King, and she is just an accessory. As long as she finds an opportunity to make contact with some people, she is confident that she can turn a prisoner into a guest.

However, the Immortal King's personal arrival completely disrupted all her plans. In the future, the Little Immortal King will most likely become the Immortal King's disciple or something similar, and the possibility of her rising to the top in one step is extremely high.

She carefully recalled all her interactions with the Little Immortal King and realized that she hadn't offended anyone too much. Even when he was targeting her, she never came openly. On the contrary, she was always very friendly and pleasant, except for her expression when they were outside the pass.

But we've all come from the same realm, so it's only right that we look out for each other and understand each other. Little Immortal King is always one to be persuaded by gentleness but not by force. She's quite old, and we don't have any mortal enemies, so we shouldn't make things difficult for her.

Besides, she is knowledgeable and has lived for almost an era. Having someone like her by your side is more trustworthy than someone from another land.

Just as Jin Taijun was calculating, a voice suddenly rang out.

"I'm home... This world I haven't been to in so long..."

"Yes, I'm home..." Red Hair murmured.

“What do you mean, go home…” Jin Taijun, who was pondering, suddenly sensed something was wrong. She knew those two people; one was a Pumo Tree in its true form, and the other was completely unfathomable.

"Little White Night, this ant has harmed you time and time again. What use is it to you to keep it around?"

Suddenly, two people walked out of the palace gate ahead. One wore a golden crown and the other was surrounded by red mist, looking strange and sinister.

“Immortal… how could… come out of the palace… could it be!” Jin Taijun’s eyes widened suddenly, because there were still people inside.

It was a young man holding a skull encased in Wang Wei's head. She recognized him, but this was the first time she felt he was such a complete stranger.

"As you think, I will definitely outlive you." Bai Ye stood in front of the palace, calmly looking at Jin Taijun from afar.

"You... how is this possible? Could he have been from another world?"

"We traded their people back to us?!"

Jin Taijun really didn't expect that while she was still planning her future, fate would play such a cruel joke on her.

“Yes, you guessed right. I did come from this realm.” Bai Ye smiled and looked calmly at Jin Taijun, as if he could see through her thoughts. He looked like a complete villain.

“You…” Jin Taijun trembled, pointing her finger at Bai Ye, her eyes wide open.

But her words were interrupted, “I am convinced that your Jin family will continue to contact me. When that happens, the Feng family will suffer the same fate as your Jin family. You will be credited with destroying the Changsheng family without lifting a finger.”

"If you... if you dare to do this, I will haunt you even as a ghost!" Jin Taijun looked at the smiling young man with snow-white teeth, but she did not feel any warmth. Instead, she felt an endless chill in her heart.

She knew very well what kind of people her descendants were. Without her protection, once they lost power and were thrown into chaos, they would definitely try to contact foreign lands. At that time, wouldn't they be like lambs to the slaughter, offering themselves up to the tiger's den?

Considering her glorious life, she stood out in her world. Even when she was stranded in a foreign land, she remained calm and composed, devising various countermeasures.

But now, a young man is about to drag her entire family into an abyss of no return, and she might even be branded a traitor. Thinking of this, her face turned deathly pale, devoid of any color, like an old woman who had fallen from the highest heavens to the mortal world.

If the people of the Nine Heavens were to see this, absolutely no one would believe that this was the domineering Jin Taijun, who could make the heavens tremble with a single stomp of his foot.

"Senior Jin, don't be afraid. I won't take action against the Jin family. At most, I'll just kill Jin Zhan on the battlefield. Oh, and Jin Zhifei too. I left in a hurry and forgot to kill him."

His calm words, though devoid of any murderous intent, were like a chilling, biting wind. This young man was too ruthless. He addressed her as "senior" repeatedly, yet each word was a knife piercing her heart. He not only wanted to exterminate them but also to sever the future of the Jin family and cut off their very roots.

This caused Jin Taijun's eyes to widen, her blood to surge, and she actually spat out a mouthful of blood. It was hard to imagine that a supreme being would be so angry, unless he was inherently very petty.

"Why..." Jin Taijun aged considerably in an instant, her hand holding the cane trembled uncontrollably, and she seemed completely powerless, as if she had collapsed.

"Senior, have you forgotten? We have a grudge!" Bai Ye chuckled, his refined and handsome appearance making it easy for people to feel good about him. However, for the first time, Jin Taijun couldn't help but step back.

He staggered and stumbled, his energy and spirit completely shattered by the shock.

At this moment, she truly understood that this boy was too good at disguising himself, deceiving everyone in the world with a holy appearance and a devil's heart.

This doesn't look like a young man in his twenties at all; he's practically a little fox.

"Why...didn't that realm treat you unfairly!"

"Wasn't I abandoned by you? Since my debut, I have never taken the initiative to oppose anyone, yet I have been targeted at every turn and suppressed many times. I also made a vow in front of the Imperial Pass, and it was true. In the end, didn't I still become your sacrifice?" Bai Ye put away his smile, his whole person was calm and undisturbed, and his calm eyes did not show the slightest fluctuation.

People like Jin Taijun are not strong, but they love to scheme and often rely on their age and seniority. No matter which realm they are in, they would be a menace if they gained power.

"Actually, you made a big mistake. If he had waited a few more years, he could have rightfully become the ruler of the Nine Heavens, revered by all races. But you sent him back instead."

"The ruler of a realm, dominating the world, without lifting a finger or losing a single soldier—what an immense achievement! Why do you all have to be so despicable!"

Pu Du looked resentful. "You don't want credit, but you can't stop us from getting credit. Blocking someone from getting credit is like killing your father. If we don't kill you, who will we kill?"

He, the self-proclaimed head steward, had already planned to take the red-haired man to the battlefield to gain fame, get a gold medal, and then return to the Nine Heavens.

Afterwards, by using the name of the Little Immortal King, he could easily win over half of the Nine Heavens. Once the Little Immortal King becomes the Supreme Being, wielding the Immortal King's Artifact, residing in the Immortal King's Palace, and backed by the Three Kings and Two Immortals, becoming invincible under heaven, wouldn't he be able to command the response of all races with a single call? Wouldn't becoming the Lord of the Nine Heavens then be a matter of course?

Jin Taijun had obviously thought of this as well, and suddenly collapsed to the ground. His eyes were filled with extreme fear. If this were the case, it would really be possible to succeed. Once the Little Immortal King became the Supreme, no one in the world would be able to stop him. He was a monster who could kill immortals!

"You...you are a child of darkness...I curse you to be forever plunged into darkness, to be forever lost!" A desperate voice rang out, the face twisted and mad, filled with hatred and regret.

She herself was burning fiercely, rushing forward with overwhelming supreme power, wanting to drag Bai Ye down with her.

Unfortunately, a crimson immortal spear had already pierced through, and with two immortals standing by, she couldn't resist even if she wanted to.

"thump!"

A corpse lay there, its eyes wide open until death, as if it could not rest in peace.

“Xiao Du’s words seem to make a lot of sense… I also think that Xiao Baiye came back too early…” Zi Cang said thoughtfully.

“We can’t go back now…” The red-haired ancestor’s gaze was also strange, filled with regret. Thinking about the great price paid in the last era, many kings were severely injured, and several were left behind in that realm. Many quasi-kings also died in battle, not to mention the immortals. If he and Zi Cang hadn’t been rescued, they would have perished as well.

"Who did this! Did I send him back? I'll exterminate his entire clan!" The old demon also stepped out of the celestial palace, causing the figure who had been sitting cross-legged on the chariot in the distance to stand up.

“It must have been done by my subordinates… I had a feeling that this child was destined to be with me, so I didn’t arrange anything else,” An Lan replied.
