Chapter 3033
Solving the problem of an insignificant Spirit Mine Prince was a wonderful relief for Ouyang Tianyun and Yan Xiwan.
Now, only the Delicious Tower and the evil cultivator organization behind it remained.
"It has been so many years since evil cultivators appeared. I didn't expect them to show up again," the Immortal Emperor frowned slightly upon receiving the news.
"Since Tianyun and the others asked for help, let us go assist them," the Immortal Empress said to the Immortal Emperor.
The Immortal Emperor smiled faintly. "Yes, let's go."
The couple left the Immortal Palace and returned to the Cultivation World. Following the address left by Ouyang Tianyun, they arrived at Four Seasons City.
When they appeared, Yan Xiwan had just finished making the antidote and came out. She saw Ouyang Tianyun and Lu Fang playing chess.
Ouyang Tianyun saw Yan Xiwan come out, stood up gently, and helped her sit down. "Is everything done?"
"It’s just refining some antidotes. For me, it’s very simple, so there is nothing to worry about."
Then Yan Xiwan looked at the chessboard. "You are actually playing Gomoku?"
That was right. The two were not playing Go, but Gomoku.
"Playing chess is meant to relax. This Gomoku is better; it doesn't require much thinking," Ouyang Tianyun answered with a grin.
"Fine. I will play with you later," Yan Xiwan said. She naturally understood chess skills.
"You two couples are really relaxed. At a time like this, you still have the mood to leisurely play chess," the Immortal Emperor and Immortal Empress appeared in the courtyard.
"We greet our adoptive father and mother (Immortal Emperor and Immortal Empress)." The former title was used by Ouyang Tianyun and Yan Xiwan, while the latter was used by Lu Fang and Pan Hongmei.
They now knew the true identities of the Immortal Emperor and Immortal Empress. They also knew that Yan Xiwan’s true identity was the little princess of the Yanluo Realm.
"Please rise," the Immortal Emperor said. "Tianyun, come tidy up. I will play a game of chess with you."
Ouyang Tianyun looked at the Immortal Emperor. "Alright. As long as you don't cheat, I will play with you."
"Am I the kind of person who cheats?" The Immortal Emperor glared at Ouyang Tianyun, feeling as if he were being bullied.
Ouyang Tianyun said, "Last time we played, you were about to lose, so you deliberately knocked over the board. The time before that, when you were losing, you deliberately stole my pieces. And the time before that…"
"Enough, enough. Don't bring up old accounts. Besides, with so many people watching this time, aren't you still worried?" The Immortal Emperor acted as if he was always open and aboveboard.
"Alright, then I will trust you one more time," Ouyang Tianyun said with a smile.
Ouyang Tianyun first tidied up the pieces in front of him, then started playing chess with the Immortal Emperor. They began by guessing the first move.
After two moves, the Immortal Emperor asked, "What exactly is the situation with these evil cultivators?"
Ouyang Tianyun watched the Immortal Emperor place a piece, then placed his own. "The four of us left the Piaomiao Palace, originally intending to train. But when we arrived at Piaomiao Town, we heard rumors that the Piaomiao Palace was recruiting disciples. We felt there was a conspiracy, so we stayed in Piaomiao Town.
I went to the Piaomiao Palace branch to investigate. I found that all the disciples in the branch had disappeared. Those there were not disciples of the Piaomiao Palace, but evil cultivators. I simply soul-searched them first, then killed them.
Then news spread that because of this incident, the Piaomiao Palace had suspended recruiting disciples.
Through soul-searching, I learned that their superior was located in the Delicious Tower in this Four Seasons City, which is relatively close to Piaomiao Town.
We came to Four Seasons City. Two days ago, we went to the Delicious Tower and found that the food there was mixed with Charm Grass. Moreover, the manager and waiters of the Delicious Tower were all evil cultivators.
The disciples from our Piaomiao Town branch were sent by them to a place called the Blood Pool. We now have some clues about this place, but we need an opportunity to rescue them.
Guai Guai discovered that, not to mention other places, there are already many cultivators in Four Seasons City controlled by Charm Grass. Therefore, she developed an antidote. It can be dissolved in rainwater and spread through the air, gradually detoxifying those cultivators affected by Charm Grass."
Speaking of this, Ouyang Tianyun placed another piece. "However, small-scale rainfall is no problem for us, but large-scale rainfall is an issue. Therefore, I had to send a message to you, my adoptive father."
"Where is the headquarters of the evil cultivator organization?" the Immortal Emperor asked.
Ouyang Tianyun shook his head. "We spent a lot of effort just to find the Blood Pool. We really don't know where this headquarters is."
The Immortal Emperor hummed, placed a piece, and seemed to ponder. After a while, after Ouyang Tianyun placed a piece, he placed another and said, "It seems this evil cultivator's ambition is very great."
"These evil cultivators never call themselves evil cultivators. Instead, they call themselves True Cultivators. The 'True' as in reality," Yan Xiwan added from the side.
"True Cultivators?" The Immortal Empress sneered. "I think they are shameless."
The Immortal Emperor spoke indifferently. "What is most important now is to restore order to the Cultivation World. These evil cultivators must be dealt with first. Before dealing with the evil cultivators, detoxification is key. Xiwan, how much antidote do you have?"
"I made a lot of antidote. It is enough to sprinkle over the entire Cultivation World, but we do not have such high magical power," Yan Xiwan answered.
"That is fine. Later, give me the antidote. Your adoptive mother and I will go sprinkle it," the Immortal Emperor said calmly. "But how was the Heavenly Dao here blinded?"
The Immortal Emperor managed everything in the Cultivation World. Naturally, a trace of his divine consciousness existed in the Heavenly Dao, yet he did not receive this news. This showed that the Heavenly Dao was blinded.
"Shouldn't you be asking yourself? We are not the Heavenly Dao," Ouyang Tianyun directly retorted.
The Immortal Emperor did not get angry. Regardless, he could not deny that he had made a mistake in this matter. Therefore, he naturally needed to face this issue properly.
"Xiwan, give me the antidote," the Immortal Emperor said.
Yan Xiwan did not ask why she was in such a hurry. Since the Immortal Emperor said so, there must be a reason. Therefore, she directly threw a storage bag to her. "The antidote here is enough to sprinkle over the entire Cultivation World."
"En. Alright, wife, let's go." After speaking, the Immortal Emperor did not stay. He pulled the Immortal Empress and left. His hurried appearance seemed very urgent.
"You run away when you lose. That is too lacking in chess etiquette," Ouyang Tianyun said speechlessly, watching the disappearing figures.
Yan Xiwan and the other three looked at the chessboard. Indeed, the Immortal Emperor was clearly at a disadvantage. No wonder he took the antidote and ran. No wonder he left in such a hurry. It turned out he was trying to save a bit of his weak pride.
"Pfft." Yan Xiwan and the other three laughed.
Ouyang Tianyun looked helpless. "Honestly, if I don't play chess with him, he will say I am unfilial. If I play chess with him, every time he wins, he mocks me and shows off in front of me. When he loses, he uses all kinds of excuses to deny it."
