"If Ye Chen is defeated, I will take over his mission. If I am defeated, then let Ye Chen take over as the lord of the South Sea!"
Na Wudao was also a wily old creature, knowledgeable in many a worldly affair, so the scheming of Yun Zheyue naturally would not escape his notice.
However, even though he knew Yun Zheyue had set a trap for him, Na Wudao had to stride right into it.
Ye Chen was already the individual chosen by Yun Zheyue; Na Wudao had to fight Ye Chen in an ultimate battle where life and death were unpredictable—he was bound to give Yun Zheyue some promises.
"Yun Zheyue, you really are ruthless!" one emperor suddenly said, seemingly with disdain. "You are the strongest immortal, always plotting—don't you get tired of living like this?"
Yun Zheyue had cultivated the Great Forgetting of Affection, so she stood alone and aloof, devoid of any trace of mundane concerns.
But the emperor was different; her aloofness was nurtured, she bore the traces of earthly life, and she had love and hate, laughter and anger.
Thus, these two equally proud women were, in fact, not alike at all.
"Ruthless? Calculating?" Yun Zheyue said with a light smile. "You are the aloof emperor, and I am the majestic, invincible Dragon Head. Although you walk aloofly, you cannot match my majestic invincibility, and the difference between us lies in what you've called ruthlessness and calculation!"
"You truly are no fun!" the emperor said after watching Yun Zheyue for a while, her smile lacking any real warmth.
"Alright, both of you stop bickering, consider it a favor for me," Na Wudao interjected just in time.
Although Yun Zheyue and the emperor were both ultimate fighting immortals, Na Wudao was not weaker than either of them, which gave him the daring to step in and mediate at this time.
"Not many can get a favor from me, but you, Na Wudao, are one of them!" the emperor said, glancing at Na Wudao, then ceased her bickering with Yun Zheyue.
"..." Seeing the emperor fall silent, Yun Zheyue also backed down from further confrontation.
Na Wudao was a martial arts giant; if he were promoted to a terrestrial immortal, his battle strength would even surpass hers, so Yun Zheyue was also willing to show some respect for the elder Dragon King.
"I haven't held a Dragon King Banquet for ten years, but today, with two old friends visiting, I naturally want to entertain them grandly!" Na Wudao said with a light smile. "Supreme, ultimate, heavenly—let the Dragon King Banquet begin!"
...
Because of the battle between Na Wudao and Ye Chen, more and more powerful individuals gathered at the South Sea.
These formidable individuals came for Na Wudao; as the Dragon King of the South Sea and a martial arts giant, renowned throughout the world, even terrestrial immortals addressed him as an equal, and virtually every martial artist wanted to witness the grandeur of this giant.
However, compared to Na Wudao, the presence of Ye Chen was even more likely to stir up controversy.
Na Wudao was a martial arts giant, and Ye Chen just a young man—what qualifications did Ye Chen have to battle Na Wudao?
The existence of Ye Chen stirred doubt and envy among many.
Gathered in the South Sea, each individual yearned to pull Ye Chen out and defeat him, even killing him, before his battle with Na Wudao!
The battle between Ye Chen and Na Wudao was indeed the focus of the world!
If someone could defeat, cripple, or kill Ye Chen at this time, they would undoubtedly become renowned throughout the world!
Ye Chen was Na Wudao's great adversary; if one could slay Ye Chen, what enormous glory would that be?
Despite Ye Chen's youth and being an exceptional prodigy, no one believed he could match Na Wudao!
In the eyes of many powerful beings, Ye Chen was like a ripe persimmon!
Moreover, if you could crush this ripe persimmon, you would become famous throughout the world!
So, the powerhouses gathered at the South Sea were all looking for Ye Chen!
As long as someone could kill Ye Chen, they would become famous across the world and bring glory to their ancestors!
However, as the battle between Na Wudao and Ye Chen was drawing closer, Ye Chen had still not appeared.
Ye Chen's prolonged absence made some of the influential figures anxious. How come this foolish child has not shown up to die yet?
...
In a villa at the northern part of Nanhai City, Su Binglan had gathered all the goddesses, holding a collective meeting of goddesses here.
This luxurious villa was bought by Su Binglan.
Because the group of Mrs. Ye was too large, staying together in a hotel would be too troublesome. Therefore, the wealthy and bold Su witch, for the sake of comfortable living and peace of mind, directly bought a villa in the South Sea.
However, this meeting was chaotic; the goddesses each spoke their minds and simply did not follow any commands, causing Empress Su a great headache.
"All the powerhouses gathered at the South Sea are frantically searching for Ye Chen, but it seems no one has found him yet!"
"However, the situation does not look optimistic now. As soon as Ye Chen shows a hint of his whereabouts, it will bring endless trouble!"
"..."
"Ye Chen must hide well, he must not be discovered. Otherwise, before his showdown with Na Wudao, he will be beaten to death by the multitude!"
"In two days, Ye Chen will be fighting Na Wudao…"
"This guy Ye Chen really does not give us peace of mind, always looking for fights!"
"The key issue is that Ye Chen is dumb. If he wants to fight, he should just go to kindergarten. There's no point in coming to the South Sea to fight the Dragon King; isn't that just asking for trouble?"
Li Yan, Liu Shihua, Tong Xingtong, Yan Ruyu, Wen Rou, Lin Ying, and Su Binglan, the seven goddesses all sat in the living room. Some were eating sunflower seeds, some were reading magazines, and a few were huddled together chatting heatedly, all talking about Ye Chen.
"Alright, let's stop arguing. I have something to say!" Su Binglan calmed the scene down, indicating that she was about to make an important announcement.
"Ye Chen is about to have his decisive battle with Na Wudao, and right now countless heroes are searching for Ye Chen; we can't just sit here eating seeds!" Su Binglan said to the women. "We are all here for Ye Chen, and he is now in a crisis; we must help him share the burden!"
"How do we share the burden?" Li Yan asked doubtfully. "Are we supposed to join forces and take down all the heroes in the world?"
"No!" Su Binglan shook her head. "We don't have the power to stop the battle between Na Wudao and Ye Chen, but we can help by easing some of the pressure on him!"
"All the powerhouses gathered at the South Sea are searching for Ye Chen. We can start by spreading false information to distract those people, thereby helping Ye Chen escape these dangerous individuals!" Su Binglan revealed her plan.
"..."
Su Binglan was a very wise woman, and her method was definitely feasible, but the goddesses all fell into an inexplicable silence.
"What's wrong with you all?" Su Binglan looked puzzled. These women seemed off, acting somewhat abnormally.
"Su Binglan, Ye Chen has already ditched us, why should we still worry about him!" Liu Shihua suddenly said.
"Exactly!" Wen Rou also chimed in. "Ye Chen has been bewitched by that woman, irrationally ditching us. Why should we still bother for him?"
"..."
