Xuan Yuan Rou racked her brain, unable to figure out who the blurred figure that kissed her was.
At the same time, the image of herself, although looking ethereal, was different from how she appeared now.
Despite the differences, Xuan Yuan Rou was certain that she was indeed herself!
Filled with confusion, Xuan Yuan Rou...
Filled with doubts, Xuan Yuan Rou thought of the great battle over ten years in the future. She took a deep breath, focused her mind, closed her eyes, and entered a state of self-forgetfulness to begin her seclusion cultivation...
Time flew by, and over five years had passed.
Within the forty-eighth level of the Pavilion of Ascending to the Heavens, Tan Yun had condensed the twelfth Primordial Chaos Emperor Sage Embryo, stepping into the twelfth level of the Emperor Sage Realm!
He was only a step away from the Emperor Realm...
At the same time, in Dragon Cloud Immortal City.
In the City Lord's Mansion.
In the grand hall, City Lord Ye Longyun suddenly opened his eyes. His murky gaze revealed a look of excitement, "Hahaha, this City Lord has finally stepped into the first stage of the Emperor Sovereign Realm!"
"This City Lord is now a great expert of the Emperor Sovereign Realm!"
Ye Longyun slowly got up, smiling as he said, "So many years have passed, I believe my father has already killed Xuan Yuan Rou to avenge me."
"I'll go find my father and tell him the great news of my promotion to the Emperor Sovereign Realm!"
With a wave of his right arm, the hall doors slowly opened.
As he stepped out of the hall, he saw Zhen Kehan pacing back and forth outside, looking worried.
After being expelled from Falling Star Immortal City by Zhen Ji, Zhen Kehan had entered Dragon Cloud Immortal City.
Before entering seclusion, Ye Longyun had appointed Zhen Kehan as the vice city lord of Dragon Cloud Immortal City.
Ye Longyun chuckled, "Dear brother Zhen, what's wrong? I have good news for you! I am now a great expert of the Emperor Sovereign Realm!"
"Congratulations on your promotion to the Emperor Sovereign Realm, Brother Ye." After congratulating him, Zhen Kehan seemed hesitant to speak.
"What do you want to say, dear brother? Just say it." Ye Longyun furrowed his brows.
"Brother Ye..." Zhen Kehan sighed, "The spies I sent out reported three days ago that many years ago, when the old city lord and Cheng Qingtian led troops to attack Xuan Yuan Immortal City, Xuan Yuan Rou led troops to carry out a sneak attack, killing the vice city lord of Qing Tian Immortal City, Cheng Fu Di."
"Then, they occupied Qing Tian Immortal City."
"Over five years ago, the old city lord and Cheng Qingtian brought troops to Qing Tian Immortal City, and they also invited the city lord of Supreme Extreme Immortal City, Duan Huangyu, and Grand Marshal Duan Nanshan."
"The four powerful figures led 360 million Immortal Soldiers to attack Qing Tian Immortal City, but they all died!"
"The old city lord, Cheng Qingtian, Duan Huangyu, and Duan Nanshan have all fallen!"
Hearing this, Ye Longyun was momentarily stunned.
After a long pause, he shook his head violently, "Impossible... this cannot be! My father is a powerful figure of the Emperor Sovereign Realm, and Cheng Qingtian is also of the Emperor Sovereign Realm; how could they die?"
"Xuan Yuan Rou, no matter how strong she is, cannot possibly kill my father!"
"Dear brother Zhen, is this news reliable?"
In response, Zhen Kehan nodded, "Brother Ye, although I also don't want to believe this is true, you know that our spies have been hidden in the void, observing from afar. This news... must be accurate!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Longyun clenched his fists tightly, tears streaming down his face. "Xuan Yuan Rou, you killed my brother, killed my son, and now you have killed my father!"
"This grudge cannot be forgiven; I, Ye Longyun, will definitely kill you... I will crush you into ashes!"
Roaring, Ye Longyun broke down into tears.
At that moment, the old steward of the City Lord's Mansion, Ye Liang, approached with an invitation in hand, "City Lord, please accept my condolences. If the old city lord were still alive, he wouldn't wish to see you like this."
