Perfect Double Agent

Qingyi found it amusing. Life is unpredictable and full of surprises. She looked up at that profile and didn't feel that the other person was any different from before. He was still him, unchanged from beginning to end.

But what she didn't know was that the Nine Heavens were indeed quite spectacular at that moment.

In a desolate, uninhabited area outside the Imperial Pass, more than a dozen figures stood, most of them wounded and panting heavily.

"How many times have I explained this to you? No one forced him. Perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, it seems that we forced him to leave under the guise of righteousness, but in reality, we sent him away only after obtaining his consent!" someone said, but just as he was about to glare, the movement aggravated a sword wound on his face, causing him to gasp in pain.

This is true. The Little Immortal King's status and position have almost become a symbol of the entire Nine Heavens. He also possesses the Immortal Bell and his strength is enough to force the alien realm to retreat. They originally had no way to deal with him and could only try to negotiate. If the Little Immortal King disagreed, they could only stare helplessly, and no one dared to forcibly suppress him.

If Feng Zu hadn't believed that the Little Immortal King would most likely die in another realm after leaving, Feng Zu wouldn't have dared to step forward at the last moment.

"Is that really true?" Meng Tianzheng asked, not believing it.

The old man Qingmu nodded, his face sincere. “We, a group of supreme beings, personally went out of the city and followed behind him. That was not a threat, but a farewell. He suggested that Fellow Daoist Jin accompany us, and we did not hesitate at all. If possible, I would like to go by myself, but the foreign lands do not want my old bones.”

"He has saved hundreds of millions of people, possesses both talent and strength, wields a Celestial King artifact, and has the four of you standing behind him. The Little Celestial King can basically be described as having absolute power in the Nine Heavens. Who would dare to provoke him if he had nothing better to do!" a Supreme Being whispered.

The Grand Elder of the Immortal Academy was displeased. "Can't you speak properly!"

"The end times are coming, and only complete unification can better face the great enemy of the foreign lands. No one is more suitable than him. Even the immortal families cannot stop him. As long as it is beneficial to the world, we will not only support him, but also take the initiative to promote this situation."

Once he becomes the supreme ruler, he can naturally become the ruler of the Nine Heavens, creating an unprecedented era of great unification that will shine for eternity.

"I've been insisting on fighting to the death because they're all thinking of waiting for the Immortal Realm. If the Immortal Realm cared about us, they would have sent people long ago!" The Supreme Being spoke with an iron will and conviction, leaving the group of Supreme Beings dumbfounded.

"What's the use of talking about this now? The Little Immortal King has been personally taken away by the Immortal King, and he will definitely descend upon this realm again in the future. What will we do then? Who will stop him?"

"You must know he's not even twenty-five years old yet. If he harbors hatred, he could shatter the Nine Heavens with just one bell! We old bones can withstand it once or twice, but if he doesn't fight us and just runs off to other places to unleash lightning or only uses the Pacifying Technique, then all the living forces in the Nine Heavens could be wiped out!" someone worried.

They were worried about this from the very beginning. They weren't stupid, they were just too helpless. Later, the power of the Immortal King was proven, but no one dared to think of forcing the Little Immortal King away. Such a person's revenge was too unsolvable.

"How about letting her senior sister..." Someone tentatively glanced at the figure carrying the still-dripping sword.

"Get out of here!" The Supreme Being of the Heavenly Dao was furious. What was the point of saying all this when people had already fallen into the alien realm? Did he expect him to send someone to stop them?

But this is enough to illustrate one point: as long as the Little Immortal King is alive, no one in the entire Nine Heavens will dare to provoke the Witch.

"The problem of the Little Immortal King will take at least another hundred years, so there's no rush. When the Wind Clan was destroyed, I obtained some information from them: the Wind Clan wasn't the only clan that betrayed the Imperial Pass; the Longevity Clan also left themselves a way out. We haven't found out which clan it is yet." An invincible being spoke up, revealing a chilling piece of information.

The Wind Clan alone has caused such a stir throughout the world, and there's even the claim that the Immortal Clan is colluding with foreign lands—it's simply unimaginable.

……

……

The old man couldn't recall exactly how vast this other world was. Unlike the Immortal Realm, it wasn't divided into multiple universes, but rather a vast, ancient world inhabited by numerous tribes without any clear divisions.

Even tribes were mainly divided into three levels: imperial tribes, royal tribes, and great tribes.

The imperial race rules over all the heavens and looks down on all races. They have never been defeated and are known as an invincible race, revered by countless beings. However, they rarely walk in the world, and many people may never see one in their entire lives.

There is even a saying that members of the imperial clan possess such extraordinary and terrifying bloodline power that they generally do not appear on the grand stage of the present world in order to give members of other races a chance to grow.

The royal family is a superior race from another realm. Once a supreme being advances to the next level, their race will instantly be classified as a royal family. Even if an immortal in the race perishes, they will remain a royal family for a long time, unless the race completely declines and the royal title is stripped away.

The great clans, led by the supreme ruler, are also known as the powerful clans. They are an indispensable backbone of the world today, second only to the royal and imperial clans in status.

"The annual tea gathering is about to begin in a month. I heard that many veteran tea masters have rushed there to compete for the prize. Logically speaking, this year is not a bumper year. It is a cycle of three thousand years, and the year when the tea leaves are full of three thousand leaves should be a few years away."

On a vast, black river, a hundred-foot-long ship, majestic like a golden lion lying on the water, sails upstream. Yet, even so, it is inconspicuous on this river.

This is a famous river in the world, called the Taiyin River. Not only does it live the Taiyin Kun fish, but also various ferocious beasts. Many royal family members have been swallowed by it.

"The Imperial Clan probably won't be going this year, Brother Jin should have a great harvest." On the ship, a group of young people chatted and laughed, but they all looked at the tall young figure in front of them with awe.

"How could it be my turn? There are elders above me, and the Ninth Prince is ahead of me. I am far from being qualified."

The creature at the bow spoke. He was very holy, with blond hair and blue eyes, and a chiseled face full of arrogance and coldness. He stood alone at the bow with his hands behind his back, gazing at the surging river ahead, full of vigor, as if he were about to go to conquer, without the slightest hint of humility.

Just like the boat beneath his feet, he refuses to walk on the road and insists on going against the current by boat. How domineering this is! This one action alone proves his arrogance.

But just then, he suddenly frowned. A small boat was drifting down from upstream ahead, and it looked like it was going to collide with his boat.

"Hmm? Someone dares to block Brother Jin's way? I've heard there are always a lot of oddballs every year, and we've run into one today too?" someone laughed, not taking it to heart at all.

This Brother Jin is one of the top ten masters of the current generation. Although he is only ranked tenth, there is no one who dares to provoke him.

The top ten represents ten legends. Anyone who makes it into the top ten list can be called a king, whose glory shines upon all races.

"I've never heard of any human experts making it onto the list. Brother Jin, let's feed the fish later. Those two look delicate and healthy, quite good indeed," someone said.

“I’ve never heard of it.” The blond, blue-eyed man nodded slightly, tacitly approving of the behavior.

But the other party ignored them. The aloof woman was rowing the boat from behind, while the man in white was fishing intently. The moment he shook his fishing rod, the river surged with waves, splashing out countless droplets of water.

It was faintly visible that it was a huge Kun fish, a thousand feet long. As soon as it appeared, black mist surged and cold air rose, as if the whole world was about to be frozen.

That was the Yin energy, one of the most Yin forces in the world. It was chilling and icy, and when it spread, it made people shiver uncontrollably, and their bones and spirits were almost frozen.

"It's too big, we can't finish it, let's get a smaller one," the woman said, her voice as beautiful as a heavenly melody.

"That works... but we're out of bait."

As he spoke, a pair of deep, dark eyes swept over and landed on them, causing everyone to shudder involuntarily.

They didn't know why, but being looked at by those eyes felt like encountering a natural enemy, and they felt as if their souls were about to perish.

"He is..." The blond man at the head of the group had his eyelids twitching wildly. As one of the top ten experts, he had naturally heard about what had happened on the battlefield and knew that a little immortal king had emerged from another realm, whose power was unmatched.

"Its true form is a blue-eyed, golden-scaled lion? It's reached the Void Path. Not bad, it can be used as bait, albeit reluctantly."

"what!"

The young men were all startled. The fishing line flew silently through the air, appearing directly behind the blond man's neck. It wasn't fast, but it was incredibly strange and impossible to defend against.

However, no matter how the blond man tried to dodge, he could not escape the entanglement of the fishing line.

"Clang!"

The fishing line tightened, and with a gentle jerk, the blond man transformed into a golden lion the size of a small mountain. It remained motionless, like a corpse, as it was lifted by the neck and thrown into the river.

"This... Brother Jin has been suppressed?"

The young people looked horrified. The white-robed youth was about the same age as them, but his cultivation was terrifyingly high. He dared to use one of the top ten young masters as bait. Did he want to fly to the sky?

"They seem to be heading to Wudao Mountain. I remember they were going to give you that tea tree as a reward. Why is it still blooming?"

"Even immortals need time to get things done; it should be in a few days."

The calm conversation between the man and woman left everyone on the warship frozen in shock. Who were these people? Their tone was too arrogant, offering rewards.

Why don't you say that the Immortal King is also from your family!

"Wait... I remember now, he might be that little immortal king from that realm. Many people are looking for him. Our clan's ancestor once mentioned it. Quick, don't save Brother Jin yet, notify the experts of our realm first!" someone said excitedly, as if they could already see a great battle.

Chapter 425 From then on, there were no more tea ceremonies.

The river surged, and a golden lion emerged from the water. Its once domineering mane was now wet, some parts covered with black ice, and others adorned with several strange fish with sharp teeth and snouts, completely destroying its imposing image.

Even his pair of emerald green eyes widened in disbelief as he watched the lion ship deliberately detour, sailing past him against the current before quickly disappearing.

"I...fuck...you guys..."

"Brother Jin, please calm down. Be careful, the water is cold. The brothers will go and get reinforcements right away and will be back soon!"

"Hurry up, hurry up! That big shot treats us like ants. If we don't leave now, when will we ever get another chance?" A group of young people shouted excitedly, their voices carrying clearly for miles.

This made the blue-eyed golden-scaled lion's eyes flash with ferocity, and its entire body trembled. It was truly enraged, calling him "Brother Jin" repeatedly, and not even turning its head when it sold him out.

Those brats said there are weirdos every year, but it turns out there really are!

"what……"

The blue-eyed, golden-scaled lion roared, its entire body churning in the water. Below, a terrifying giant fish was biting it mercilessly, its teeth stained with its blood!

"Is this what you men's friendship is like..." Qingyi smiled radiantly, her eyes rolling back, exuding charm.

But then she suddenly felt something was wrong, and she fell silent instantly, because friendship between women was even more terrifying, like the original self, like... her?

"It seems your underlings all know the meaning of 'a wise man submits to circumstances.'" Bai Ye looked at the lion in the water, raised his hand, and slammed it down, causing a huge scream to erupt. It was clear that the golden scales of the blue-eyed, golden-scaled lion were almost completely shattered, and blood was constantly seeping out.

"I...I challenge you in the name of the Heavenly King!" The huge lion's roar shook the river. He was stubborn, fearless, and unconvinced.

This refers to beings of the same realm, even those from different realms, who are all very proud. At the same time, there are also arenas that can create the fairest environment.

"I have killed more Dunyi than you have ever seen." Bai Ye said calmly, his eyes showing no emotion. Instead, the Azure-Eyed Golden-Scaled Lion's pupils contracted, and its entire body sank down.

He then remembered that this guy was a ruthless person. Although he didn't fight many times on the front lines, every time he did, it was devastating and outrageous. It wasn't that others were fighting this ruthless person one-on-one, but that this ruthless person was taking on tens of thousands of people each time.

A single sword strike left corpses strewn across the land, a single lightning strike left countless races reeling from the shock, enraging the Supreme Being to the point of jumping up and down, prompting the Immortal Qimin to personally write an edict to summon the person, and causing the Supreme Ancient Ancestor to leave his clan's territory to personally welcome him back.

Each of these events, taken individually, is unimaginable to ordinary people; combined, they created this terrifying monster.

But as soon as he sank into the water, he surfaced again. The more he thought about it, the more unwilling he became. If he gave up like this, his future life as a lion would be completely ruined.

"You've disrupted the tea ceremony; someone will come to kill you. You'd better release me now!" the Golden Scale Lion said coldly.

"Kill me?" Bai Ye asked in surprise, looking at the lion with great interest.

"No one dares to kill you. You have no idea how crazy those people will be for fame, and you have no idea how many challenges I face every time I go out to maintain my tenth place!"

"That's because you're too weak. If you could suppress an entire realm single-handedly like me, naturally no one would dare to challenge you."

With a splash, the golden-scaled lion was thrown into the river ahead, its attitude clearly conveyed by the chain of order.

"You want me to pull the boat?" The golden-scaled lion's eyes widened, its face full of arrogance and unruliness. "Don't even think about it! I've only ever gone against the current my whole life. I won't even move sideways, and you expect me to go with the flow?!"

"Uh..." Bai Ye was speechless. Looking at the lion squatting on the water and staring at him, he had never seen such an arrogant guy before.

"I love your rebellious spirit."

Bai Ye smiled coldly and slapped away one handprint after another, not at a particularly fast speed.

"Such a slow pace, are you trying to make me laugh my head off?"

The Golden Lion laughed loudly, tilting his head to avoid the first slap mark. However, before he could finish his smugness, his entire head was struck with a heavy blow, like a huge star crashing down, cracking his skull, causing blood to flow from his seven orifices, and his eyes to almost bulge out.

At the same time, other slaps came down, each one perfectly timed, each one seemingly containing a certain kind of power, completely stunning the Golden Scale Lion, its gleaming white canine teeth flying off.

"How is this possible... I clearly dodged it..." the Golden Scale Lion murmured, then collapsed onto the water with a thud like a dead dog, all traces of its untamed nature gone.

Bai Ye looked down at the Golden Scale Lion, saying, "Child, I used to be known as the Demon King."

The Golden-Scaled Lion was bewildered. Even though the other party had killed him, none of the races behind him dared to touch him. Did they intend to beat him up again? He didn't understand.

But the next instant, a hand covered him, accompanied by a deep voice that sounded like a demonic chant. His whole body trembled, and he let out a childish cry that made him feel ashamed and angry to death.
