Chapter 2558
"I was a bandit from the start. Did you forget? You helped me register for this job. Don't forget, I am 'Bandit One Cloud'." Zhu Yanyi said with a grin.
"Cough, cough. Sect Leader Zhu, are you 'Bandit One Cloud'?" Jian Wuhua asked, having just entered and hearing the name.
"Yes. Why, Palace Master Jian, have you heard of me?" Zhu Yanyi asked, still smiling.
"Heard of you? Not only heard, but I also sent people to look for you. Because you robbed items from our Sword Palace." Jian Wuhua looked at Zhu Yanyi speechlessly.
Zhu Yanyi made an "Oh" sound and blinked her eyes. "I don't remember who I robbed. But I robbed many gangs and families. The Sword Palace must be among them."
She then pointed at the Immortal Emperor. "No choice. This Immortal Emperor here registered this bandit job for me."
"What do you mean I registered it for you? You chose it yourself." The Immortal Emperor felt quite wronged.
Zhu Yanyi raised an eyebrow slightly. "Yes, I chose it. But if your system didn't have this bandit job, I wouldn't have chosen it. In the end, isn't it because the Immortal Realm had this job that I picked it? Besides, when I went to register as a bandit, you were the one who processed it. You can't deny that, can you?"
"I admit that point." The Immortal Emperor sighed. she had agreed to register the job for her initially just to watch the fun. she hadn't seen much fun, but she had successfully pulled her wife into becoming a bandit too. Now, she felt like she had dug her own grave.
Jian Wuhua naturally wouldn't dare say anything about the Immortal Emperor. However, he now saw clearly that the Immortal Emperor and the leader of the Azure Sovereign Sect were very familiar. Combined with the rumor that the Immortal Emperor had stayed in the Azure Sovereign Sect for ten years, he realized the Immortal Emperor’s identification with the Azure Sovereign Sect might even exceed their own.
Zhu Yanyi ignored what Jian Wuhua was thinking. She looked at the Immortal Emperor. "Immortal Emperor, let's skip the empty talk. Let's talk practically. Give the gifts and compensation."
The Immortal Emperor looked at Zhu Yanyi and sighed. "What do you want?"
"How would I know what I want? Whether it's a gift or compensation, shouldn't you offer it to me proactively? Why is it now that I have to ask for things? Immortal Emperor, this is not good." Zhu Yanyi said seriously.
The Immortal Empress, watching her embarrassed husband from the side, didn't help her. She just watched the show.
Seeing his wife enjoying the spectacle, the Immortal Emperor’s eyes twinkled. "Wife, are the things I gave you last time still there?"
The Immortal Empress smiled lightly and nodded. "They are all there after the upgrade."
The Immortal Emperor reached out his hand. "Wife, come, give them to me."
The Immortal Empress said nothing and handed a ring to the Immortal Emperor. The Immortal Emperor threw the ring to Zhu Yanyi. "Everything inside is good stuff, prepared for the disciples of your Azure Sovereign Sect. Of course, there is a quantity limit. There are five thousand sets in total."
Sets? Hearing this measure word, Zhu Yanyi’s divine sense unconsciously scanned the ring. She saw five thousand bracelets inside. She looked at the Immortal Emperor. "What are these bracelets?"
"These bracelets were developed by my wife and me. In the early stages, we named them 'Judge'. The programs inside were named after the Eighteen Hells. Later, after we became Emperors, we upgraded them. At least now, these can be used by immortals to train them. Many involve extreme breakthroughs, which are beneficial for them."
Thinking of his past with the Immortal Empress, a trace of nostalgia appeared on the Immortal Emperor’s face. Those days were gone, but everything that happened during that time remained beautiful memories for them.
Zhu Yanyi nodded slightly after listening. This was indeed a good item, especially the program for extreme breakthroughs, which was crucial for the Azure Sovereign Sect.
Zhu Yanyi looked at the Immortal Emperor. "Immortal Emperor, in that case, I won't stand on ceremony."
The Immortal Emperor waved his hand. "Actually, this is also a memory for my wife and me. But keeping it stored away makes it just a dead object. If it can help cultivate different talents, then it has fulfilled its purpose."
Zhu Yanyi nodded with a smile. "Five thousand sets depend on fate. Among the hundred thousand disciples, who gets them depends on their fate." Zhu Yanyi put away the ring containing the 'Judge' items.
Jian Wuhua was actually quite envious of Zhu Yanyi having these items. But she knew this was a gift from the Immortal Emperor. Even if she was jealous, she couldn't snatch it. She could only say, "By the way, Immortal Emperor, I plan to have people send out notices tomorrow. The Heavenly Fortune Competition will resume in two days."
The Immortal Emperor hummed. "Then let it resume in two days. There must be a result. I hope through this competition, we can eliminate the shadow of the evil cultivators who infiltrated."
Jian Wuhua hoped for this even more. After all, if news of evil cultivators appearing in the Immortal Realm spread, it would cause panic. Fortunately, the Immortal Emperor had stepped in and eliminated them. Now, all they could do was hope for happier days.
Thus, it was decided to notify everyone the next day that the competition would resume in two days.
Although Yao Hua Yin Guo was gone, everyone, out of respect for her sacrifice, nominated a very fair disciple from the Hundred Changes Hall to succeed as the Hall Master. Although this disciple’s cultivation and ability were not as good as Yao Hua Yin Guo’s, everyone was willing to give the Hundred Changes Hall a chance to grow.
Naturally, the competition between the Five Great Sects and Zhu Yanyi’s Azure Sovereign Sect would still proceed. After discussing among themselves, Jian Wuhua and the others came to Zhu Yanyi, hoping to place the match against the Azure Sovereign Sect last, so as to bring a perfect conclusion to the Heavenly Fortune struggle.
Actually, everyone present knew one thing clearly: with the Hundred Changes Hall in trouble, if nothing unexpected happened, the Azure Sovereign Sect would likely replace the Hundred Changes Hall’s position.
However, Zhu Yanyi did not know this guess. If she had known, she would have certainly told them they were overthinking. She never wanted to become one of the Five Great Sects, but to become an existence that surpassed them.
After hearing Jian Wuhua’s proposal, Zhu Yanyi indicated there was no problem. Thus, the competition between the Azure Sovereign Sect and the Five Great Sects was placed at the end, with challenge matches from other sects in between.
Basically, no one from the other sects could challenge to the very end. Reaching the top few ranks was already considered good.
However, with a hundred sects taking turns to challenge, nearly two months passed.
