Return of the Immortal Emperor Daddy

"Alright, from now on, the Blood Refinement Guild will depend on you two."

After advising Bo Gu and Meng Tian, it was already late at night. Tomorrow, Wu Tian was scheduled to give a lecture, so he didn’t linger any longer and turned to leave.

Behind him, Bo Gu and Meng Tian were in tears.

Wu Tian’s footsteps did not pause. Everyone has their own share of responsibility on their shoulders.

Since Bo Gu and Meng Tian had chosen to dedicate themselves to the Path of Blood Refinement, then the prosperity of the Blood Refinement Guild was their mission.

The Pharmacist Guild, the Mercenary Guild, and others now enjoy limitless glory, but the beginning of their journey was also fraught with challenges, and it was thanks to the persistence of previous generations that they endured.

The ones who plant trees, the ones who enjoy the cool shade!

This is an eternal truth.

... The Diamond Martial Emperor, outwardly a chivalrous person on the outskirts of the continent, secretly committed numerous barbaric deeds,

He once slaughtered Sword Master Jian Yin’s entire family, causing Jian Yin to forsake righteousness and walk the path of evil.

He intended to make his way into the continent center, but after three months out, he ultimately returned to the edge lands due to insufficient ability,

Nonetheless, when he returned, he carried an old man on his shoulders, seemingly too weak to harm a chicken, whose only merit was cooking delicious meals,

The Diamond Martial Emperor, whose palate had become quite particular while abroad, worried that his return to the edge lands might leave him unsatisfied with the local fare, had abducted someone from a distant tavern.

To ensure the old man didn’t speak out, he used spiritual power to render him speechless.

Today, he had just returned to the coast of the continent’s edge, where he grew up,

But as soon as he arrived, he saw Yang Tianzi of the Willow Sect, along with its Elders and disciples, preparing to set sail.

"Hurry up, or else we’ll be late."

"Yes, time is of the essence."

"It’s all the Sect Master’s fault, not knowing what he was doing with the Madam last night, making us get up so late."

"Kids shouldn’t ask questions, but it truly is the Sect Master’s fault. This kind of opportunity, once missed, could be regretted for a lifetime."

Yang Tianzi was ahead, while the Elders and disciples of the Willow Sect looked on with faces filled with resentment, their voices laden with urgency.

"What are they up to? Why is everyone setting sail together?"

Observing the scene, the Diamond Martial Emperor frowned deeply, perplexed.

The places overseas are always remote; what could possibly be there to attract such a crowd?

After pondering for a moment, he decided to carry the old chef over and inquire.

Outwardly humble, he maintained an image of integrity and righteousness, as a chivalrous figure.

He had some affiliation with the Willow Sect as well.

Regrettably, on the day of Madam Yang’s birthday, he was out of town and couldn’t return in time.

"Ahem." The Diamond Martial Emperor approached: "May I ask, Brother Yang, what are you all setting out to do?"

Seeing it was the Diamond Martial Emperor, Yang Tianzi smiled slightly, making no effort to conceal anything, and frankly, there was nothing to hide: "Brother Diamond, are you aware that within the Three Realms, there is an extraordinary individual, supposed to give a lecture today? I’ve read about such lectures all my life, but never witnessed them. How could I possibly miss such an event?"

"Lecture?" Diamond Martial Emperor was momentarily dumbfounded, eventually coming to his senses: "Even out there, I haven’t seen many with the qualifications to give a lecture. Brother Yang, have you been deceived?"

Lecture?

According to legend, only a Great Sage may give a lecture, or else they would be struck by heavenly thunder!

The lecture to be given must contain profound knowledge and deep mysteries, or else disaster would ensue!

Small as the Three Realms are, where could there be any extraordinary person qualified to give lectures?

"Deceived?" Upon hearing the Diamond Martial Emperor’s words, Yang Tianzi’s expression turned solemn,

Seeing this, the Diamond Martial Emperor realized Yang Tianzi was swayed by his words,

But in the next moment, Yang Tianzi glared angrily at the Diamond Martial Emperor: "We were once friends, but you cannot insult him, he is... my grandfather!"

What?

The Diamond Martial Emperor was stunned.

Your grandfather?

We all reside on this continent’s edge, near the coast. How can I not know your family’s situation?

Your grandfather passed away long ago, didn’t he?

The Diamond Martial Emperor mused internally,

He hurriedly looked toward Liu Yihang, suspecting Yang Tianzi’s mind might have gone awry recently, thus he asked, "What’s wrong with Yang Tianzi?"

"What’s wrong?" Liu Yihang was too busy to explain to the Diamond Martial Emperor, hastily urging Yang Tianzi and the others to set off quickly,

Yang Tianzi nodded, clearly anxious, then bid farewell to the Diamond Martial Emperor and departed.

Left perplexed and carrying the old chef, the Diamond Martial Emperor pondered,

"Hmm? So they’re Bai Clan members."

Soon, another group appeared, intending to board a ship bound for the Three Realms.

Bai Clan members, or Bai Clan, were named so because the clan members all have an affinity for the color white,

In fact, their surname is Lü.

"Could they have also been deceived into thinking they can attend a lecture? Young people are so easily tricked; if only they had an elder with them, they wouldn’t fall for this... Huh? Isn’t that Bai Clan Leader Bai Tong?"

Halfway through speaking, the Diamond Martial Emperor’s comment was invalidated as he recognized the venerable elder, Bai Tong.

He held a high standing in this continent’s edge lands.

Most leaders of peripheral forces counted as Bai Tong’s juniors in seniority.

Who could have imagined this seasoned elder would also attend a lecture?

Could he be deceived too?

"Who is this person, whose deception skills are so outstanding, though they might deceive others, they’ll never deceive Old Grandmaster Wang Tianshou."

The Diamond Martial Emperor stated earnestly,

Wang Tianshou, renowned on the continent’s fringe as the King of Deception, when it comes to trickery,

No one can surpass him.

Wang Tianshou,

Has been dubbed the Great King of Deception.

"Diamond, you’ve returned?"

Suddenly, someone called out from behind the Diamond Martial Emperor. Turning around, he saw it was Wang Tianshou.

"Why are you here too, could it be... No, you must be taking a stroll, right?" The Diamond Martial Emperor refused to believe that the highly skillful Wang Tianshou would attend a lecture by a conman or that anyone could deceive Wang Tianshou.

Surely,

Wang Tianshou simply happened to pass by.

Yet Wang Tianshou said: "I’m heading to listen to the extraordinary person give a lecture, not for a stroll."

"What?" the Diamond Martial Emperor was stunned, wondering when the Three Realms bore such an impressive conman!

To be formidable enough to deceive even Wang Tianshou?

Incredible,

Unbelievable,

Beyond comprehension.

As the Diamond Martial Emperor’s thoughts swirled,

Wang Tianshou already grabbed the Diamond Martial Emperor’s other hand: "Brother, it’s a surprise you returned at such a timely moment, come, join me in listening to this extraordinary person lecture."

While the Diamond Martial Emperor was still in a daze, he was dragged aboard, and the ship set sail. Only then did the Diamond Martial Emperor regain his composure: "Brother, have you seen that conman in person?"

"Indeed, I attended Madam Yang’s birthday celebration, saw him kill someone."

"Killed someone?" The Diamond Martial Emperor chuckled lightly, "What stray cats or dogs did he kill?"
