Chapter 3601: The Vice City Lord’s Invitation

The ancestor of the Ye family, Ye Beifeng, sat before a stone table with Ye Qingyun. They were in the enormous courtyard that belonged to the Immortal Feather sect in the Observance Heaven City.

Before the two of them were the Immortal Exalt ancestor of the Immortal Feather sect, the Wayless Immortal Exalt, and the strongest great elder, Xia Mingtian!

Neither Ye Qingyun nor Xia Mingtian said anything. It was entirely a conversation between the Wayless Immortal Exalt and Ye Beifeng.

However, the Wayless Immortal Exalt was composed, speaking easily, while Ye Beifeng seemed a little reserved and overly cautious.

Despite both being Immortal Exalts, there was a tremendous difference in backgrounds.

“Oh right. I was wondering what fellow Ye’s impression of the independent cultivator Chang Yang was.” After a moment of idle talk, the Wayless Immortal Exalt finally approached the main topic of conversation.

After a moment of rumination, Ye Beifeng said slowly, “He’s very extraordinary. He managed to reach the finals among a group of peak Immortal Exalts as a Sixth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor and as an independent cultivator on top of that. That’s unheard of.”

“However, this is all due to the special pills he possesses, which allow Immortal Exalts on the brink of death to fully recover in a short amount of time. Probably even some high grade God Tier pills pale in comparison to them.”

“It’s exactly as you say, fellow Ye. Chang Yang has had his fortuitous encounters. He probably stumbled upon a dwelling where a supreme expert passed away and obtained a tremendous amount of resources. Otherwise, with his identity as an independent cultivator, it would have been impossible for him to cultivate the Chaotic Body to such an extent.” The Wayless Immortal Exalt’s gaze was deep, and his voice was slightly sunken. “I even suspect that he didn’t just come across the dwelling where a supreme expert passed away. Instead, he might have found the resources and legacies of a certain ancient sect. After all, many ancient organisations reside in miniature worlds that they’ve created for themselves throughout the history of the Immortals’ World, such that they’re difficult to find. Those who are not fortunate enough cannot obtain the method of entry. Even when some of these ancient organisations face destruction due to certain reasons, all of the resources in their sects will be maintained, unlike external organisations that will be subdivided among others.”

“Fellow Wayless’s guesses are very reasonable. I have also had those suspicions before,” Ye Beifeng added.

The Wayless Immortal Exalt looked at Ye Beifeng and said, “If that’s the case, then it would give a very good explanation to why Chang Yang has so many high quality God Tier pills on him. However, if he really did inherit all the resources from a major sect, who knows how many of these pills he’ll have on him. Perhaps it’ll be far more than just around a dozen. As a result, the dozen or so pills he took out at the very end of the battle was just to deceive us.”

Ye Beifeng furrowed his brows when he heard that. “If he still has a large number of healing pills on him and tries to fight a battle of endurance again…” Ye Beifeng did not finish what he was saying. He could already foresee the end result.

When it came to a battle of endurance, neither Ye Qingyun nor Xia Mingtian could outlast the Chaotic Body.

The Wayless Immortal Exalt smiled mysteriously. “As a result, I have a suggestion. During the next round, have Ye Qingyun and Xia Mingtian work together against Chang Yang. Once Chang Yang is defeated, Ye Qingyun and Xia Mingtian can contend for the Thousand Immortal General’s post by themselves. The winner will ultimately come down to their own strength.”

“Our Ye family is poor in resources. If it really ends up as a battle of endurance, perhaps we really won’t be able to defeat Chang Yang.” Ye Beifeng smiled wryly.

The Wayless Immortal Exalt began to laugh. He took out several white jade bottles and passed them over to Ye Beifeng. “There are thirty mid grade God Tier pills and five high grade God Tier pills here. They are all for recovering energy and healing injuries. This time, our Immortal Feather sect will lend you a hand. Ye Qingyun of your Ye family and Xia Mingtian of our Immortal Feather sect will work together against Chang Yang.”

“As long as Chang Yang remains standing, you can’t turn on one another, do you understand?”

In the end, Ye Beifeng accepted the several dozen God Tier pills gifted to him by the Immortal Feather sect and left with Ye Qingyun.

“Chang Yang, didn’t you boast that you would make Xia Mingtian pay a heavy price? I’d like to see just how you make him pay now.” The Wayless Immortal Exalt looked towards the inn where Jian Chen resided after the people from the Ye family were gone. He smiled coldly.

Ye Beifeng gave all the pills from the Immortal Feather sect to Ye Qingyun in the commander’s estate. “Qingyun, heal here. I have something I need to attend to.”

Ye Beifeng left the commander’s estate and directly made his way to the city lord’s estate.

The city lord’s estate had a main hall and two side halls. The main hall was the city lord of the Observance Heaven City, Jiang Pingtian’s territory, while the two side halls belonged to the two vice city lords.

Ye Beifeng did not visit the main hall but one of the side halls.

The Master of Fire Virtue stood in the centre of the hall. An invisible pressure filled the entire place. It seemed to hide a might that could shake the heavens.

“Greetings, senior!” Ye Beifeng bowed towards the Master of Fire Virtue politely. He demonstrated respect from the bottom of the heart.

“I know you don’t visit without reason. Tell me, what else do you need my help with? Though, your Ye family has produced an impressive kid. You haven’t embarrassed the ancestor of your Ye family.” The Master of Fire Virtue smiled.

“Sure enough, I can’t hide anything from senior. Senior, I would like to meet with Chang Yang and hopefully purchase some healing pills from him. Chang Yang has completely cut off his room from the outside world, so I can only ask you for help,” Ye Beifeng said.

“There are many people who eye the pills.” The Master of Fire Virtue considered it and said, “This Chang Yang has a fiery personality. He’s even bold enough to offend the Immortal Feather sect. He’s not afraid of trouble. How about this? I’ll send someone to invite him over. Have a proper discussion with him. Remember, you can’t break the rules of the Observance Heaven City, or even I won’t be able to protect you.”

“Thank you, senior. Please don’t worry, senior. I know the limits.” Ye Beifeng was overjoyed and immediately clasped his fist.

The Master of Fire Virtue summoned the vice city lord’s seal and immediately wrote an edict. “Take my edict and invite Chang Yang over!”

Immediately, a soldier accepted the edict from the Master of Fire Virtue politely and directly made his way over to where Jian Chen stayed.

The edict represented the official authority of the Observance Heaven City. Perhaps it was worthless beyond the Observance Heaven City, but it did serve as a symbol of authority that could not be ignored within the city.

One of the privileges it granted was free passage to anyone who carried the edict through almost the entire Observance Heaven City apart from the city lord’s estate.

Apart from a few secret places, none of the countless restrictions in the Observance Heaven City could stop the edict.

If someone tried to stop them by force, then that would be defying the will of the Observance Heaven City. They would break the rules of the Observance Heaven City and face severe punishment.

As a result, even people that came from courts of heaven had to stand down before the edict as long as they were inside the Observance Heaven City.

Of course, while vice city lords possessed great authority that even courts of heaven had to obey, no one was actually bold enough to use their authority against organisations like that.

They were indeed untouchable in the Observance Heaven City.

However, they did not serve as vice city lords permanently. Instead, they would be replaced once every ten thousand years when new people would contend for the position.

Once they left the Observance Heaven city, the courts of heaven would be able to unleash their full might against them.
