Chapter 505

"... I think even if she asks for help, these two might not pay any attention. It's not wise for them to offend us for the sake of a junior."

Fufeng Heavenly Venerable said with a faint smile.

"By the way, your two most prized possessions."

As he spoke, Heavenly Venerable Yuanjue waved his hand, and two beams of divine light shot out, landing in front of Fufeng Heavenly Venerable and Heavenly Venerable Lingguang.

"Buzz!"

The void trembled slightly, and a dazzling light shone forth.

Soon, the divine light faded, revealing the array of magical treasures.

The Heavenly Venerable Lingguang's most precious Immortal Dao Supreme Treasure is a bronze celestial lamp. Its wick burns with a faint white light, and its body is engraved with endless patterns, giving it an ancient and weathered feel.

The Fufeng Heavenly Venerable's supreme Immortal Dao Supreme Treasure is a cyan bead, its surface shrouded in a hazy mist, making it difficult to discern its true form. But the moment it appears, it seems as if time and space themselves stand still.

Each of them possesses unique wonders and extraordinary power.

"Haha, we must thank Fellow Daoist Yuan Jue for making the trip for us."

"Of course, with a great calamity looming, the three of us should stand together through thick and thin, hand in hand!"

"Of course!"

After some polite exchanges...

Silence fell over the main hall.

A short while later.

Heavenly Venerable Yuanjue suddenly opened his eyes.

A blinding flash of lightning tore through the void, seemingly piercing through the entire Wuji Immortal Palace.

"They're here!"

Fufeng Heavenly Venerable and Heavenly Venerable Lingguang also awoke.

The next moment.

The three figures flickered and disappeared from the spot.

The Wuji Heaven Realm.

In the vast emptiness.

"Boom!"

The void twisted and rippled, and three imposing figures stepped out.

Looking into the distance, they saw several figures traveling across the Milky Way.

Upon closer inspection, four familiar figures came into view.

"Eternal Life... Mirror Cloud?!"

"And there are also Liuli Heavenly Venerable and Immortal Venerable Mimeng!"

"Damn it, they actually helped the Ziwei Immortal King!"

In an instant.

Heavenly Venerable Lingguang's expression turned grim. Originally, this was just a conflict between the three Tianzun and Ziwei Immortal King, but once the four, including Longevity Heavenly Venerable, intervened, it evolved into a conflict between the Tianzun themselves, which would probably not be so easy to resolve.

"Damn it, Wuji must have anticipated this, so he stayed out of it from the very beginning!"

Heavenly Venerable Yuanjue's face turned ashen.

Soon.

The Ziwei Immortal King and others have already arrived here.

"Why are there only three of you? Where is Wuji?"

Upon seeing the three, the Longevity Heavenly Venerable frowned slightly, seemingly somewhat surprised.

The meeting was supposed to be in the Wuji Heaven Realm, but the Wuji Heavenly Venerable is nowhere to be seen?

"Brother Wuji has authorized us to handle this matter entirely... Where are we disciples?"

Fufeng Heavenly Venerable changed the subject and asked.

"Nature is in my hands," Xiao Minghuang said calmly. "And my wife?"

"Those five little girls are naturally in my hands as well. Hand over my son and nephews first, and I will return the little girls to you!"

Heavenly Venerable Yuanjue got straight to the point, getting straight to the main point.

590. I'm pregnant...

"Everyone, please calm down. How about we each take a step back and exchange our money?"

Jingyun Immortal Venerable spoke up, saying that she always liked to be a good person, so even Heavenly Venerable Yuanjue had some relationship with her, and her words carried some weight.

"Fellow Daoist Jingyun makes it sound so easy. If we each take a step back, then who will step back?"

Although Fufeng Heavenly Venerable said this, his tone softened somewhat.

Clearly, he did not intend to have a falling out with Jingyun Immortal Venerable.

At this moment, Heavenly Venerable Lingguang suddenly looked towards the distant void and said loudly, "Fellow Daoist Qiongming, now that you've come, why hide?"

As her words fell, ripples spread through the void.

A woman in a white dress gracefully descended from the sky.

It was none other than the Qionming Heavenly Venerable!

Heavenly Venerable Yuanjue and the others were not surprised at all by Qionming Heavenly Venerable's arrival. After all, they still possessed the former's Immortal Dao Supreme Treasure. Unless she no longer wanted them, she would definitely come.

Upon seeing Qionming Heavenly Venerable arrive, Jingyun Immortal Venerable seemed to suddenly remember something and said, "Fellow Daoist Qiongming, your arrival is timely. We were just discussing how to exchange hostages. Could you do us a favor?"

Qionming Heavenly Venerable's beautiful eyes swept across the entire room, finally settling on Xiao Minghuang, her gaze revealing a hint of amazement.

"He is indeed a talent unlike any other in history."

"You flatter me!"

Xiao Minghuang cupped his hands in a respectful gesture.

Immediately, Qionming Heavenly Venerable looked at Jingyun Immortal Venerable and said, "If Heavenly Venerable Yuanjue returns my treasure to me, I will help you."

The words had barely left his mouth.

All eyes then fell on Heavenly Venerable Yuanjue.

Feeling the gazes of everyone, Heavenly Venerable Yuanjue couldn't say anything and returned Qionming Heavenly Venerable's treasure.

After all, there was no conflict between him and Qionming Heavenly Venerable, and with powerful enemies all around him, he couldn't afford to cause any more trouble for himself.

Qionming Heavenly Venerable retrieved his treasure and nodded. "Speak, what do you need my help with?"

"Ahem!" Jingyun Immortal Venerable cleared his throat and said, "I have a suggestion. Since it's difficult for us to gain mutual trust, why don't we each hand over our hostages to a middleman, who can then exchange them between us? What do you think?"

Upon hearing this, Fufeng Heavenly Venerable pondered for a moment before nodding and saying, "I agree to this suggestion."

"Hehe, that's excellent!"

Heavenly Venerable Lingguang nodded.

"Can!"

Heavenly Venerable Yuanjue nodded.

"Alright, then I will temporarily take care of the wives of Ziwei Immortal King, and Fellow Daoist Qiongming will take care of the disciples on Fellow Daoist Yuanjue's side, how does that sound?"

I have no objection.

Xiao Minghuang nodded.

"Can."

Heavenly Venerable Yuanjue did not object. This time, he admitted defeat and just wanted to get his good-for-nothing son back as soon as possible, then leave quickly and make further plans.

"Alright! Since no one has any objections, let's release the hostages now."

Xiao Minghuang nodded, then waved his hand, and the Star Pearl that imprisoned Wushang and the others floated out and landed in front of Jingyun Immortal Venerable.

On the other side, seeing that Xiao Minghuang had handed over Wushang and the others, Heavenly Venerable Yuanjue waved his sleeve, and a ball of black light shot out, landing in front of Qionming Heavenly Venerable.

At this point, nothing unexpected happened; Qionming Heavenly Venerable and Jingyun Immortal Venerable exchanged the hostages they each held.

Everything went surprisingly smoothly.

Heavenly Venerable Yuanjue took the Star Pearl, immediately crushed it, and released Wushang and the others who had been imprisoned within it for a long time.

A flash of white light appeared, and four figures appeared in the same spot.

Perhaps because they had been imprisoned for too long, all four of them looked dazed, their eyes lifeless, as if they had lost their souls, standing motionless in place.

"You good-for-nothing, you're always causing me trouble!"

Heavenly Venerable Yuanjue snorted coldly, swept away the black-clad youth, glanced back coldly at Ziwei Immortal King standing in the crowd, and left without saying a word.

The other Heavenly Venerable Lingguang, Fufeng Heavenly Venerable, also took their respective disciples with them and left the place.

Only Wushang remained. Wuji Heavenly Venerable did not appear; he still looked around in confusion, unaware of what had happened.

Seeing this, Qionming Heavenly Venerable stepped forward and sighed softly, "Don't cause any more trouble for your father. Take care of yourself."

With that, she flicked her sleeve, and a gentle force surged forth, propelling Wushang back to the Wuji Immortal Palace.

Some are happy, some are sad.

When Ye Ruoshui was released, she was met with Xiao Minghuang's concerned gaze. The grievances in her heart burst forth, and she threw herself into Xiao Minghuang's arms.

"Your Highness! You've finally come to save me! Waaah..."

Tears streamed down her face as Xiao Minghuang patted Ye Ruoshui's back to comfort her, his own eyes welling up with tears.

Xiao Minghuang hugged Ye Ruoshui and comforted her, "It's alright, don't cry, it's all over now."

"There are still many people watching you..."

Ye Ruoshui looked up and saw some familiar and unfamiliar faces, all with teasing smiles. She blushed and released Xiao Minghuang.

"Thank you all for your help!"

Ye Ruoshui bowed respectfully to all around her.

"Haha, Miss Ye, you're too kind!"

"You are welcome."

The Liuli Heavenly Venerable and the Immortal Venerable Mimeng cupped their hands in greeting and then left.

They were invited by the Longevity Heavenly Venerable and the Jingyun Immortal Venerable to lend their support, and now that the matter has been resolved, there is naturally no reason for them to stay any longer.

Afterwards, Xiao Minghuang invited the Longevity Heavenly Venerable and the Jingyun Immortal Venerable to visit the Ziwei Star Domain, but they were politely declined.

Before leaving, Jingyun Immortal Venerable reminded him, "Although this matter has been resolved satisfactorily, I know that Heavenly Venerable Yuanjue is narrow-minded and may not let it go so easily. You must be careful of his retaliation."

"Thank you for the reminder, fellow Daoist. I will keep it in mind!"

Xiao Minghuang cupped his hands in a respectful gesture.

"If there is anything, you can contact us through this talisman."

As she spoke, she handed Xiao Minghuang a talisman.

Thank you.

Xiao Minghuang thanked him again and put the item away.

Only after the Longevity Heavenly Venerable and the Jingyun Immortal Venerable left did Ye Ruoshui breathe a sigh of relief.

"Oh... Your Highness, this really scared me to death... I thought I'd never see you again..."

Ye Ruoshui nestled against Xiao Minghuang, her face filled with worry as she spoke.

"Hmm... staying in the Ziwei Star Domain might not be safe anymore. Perhaps we should move to a new home."
