65: Chapter 65 The Conspiracy of the Heavenly Centipede Immortal King and the True Flood Dragon Immortal King

In a distant place, two hundred billion li away from the Southwest Immortal Desert Generals Mansion where Cao Yang and Xiao Lingxue were, there stood a massive residence called the Southwest King's Mansion. Within this mansion, a furious roar erupted, causing others to tremble in fear.

"What?" Immortal King Tianwu flew into a rage, crushing the wine cup in his hand into powder as wine splashed everywhere. His face was extremely gloomy, his eyes flickering with the flames of anger.

It turned out he had just received an urgent report from an undercover agent in Black City. According to the report, that fellow named Immortal King Xuan Yang had actually begun to brazenly recruit his subordinates and reorganize his territory immediately after his Breakthrough to the Immortal King Realm! This was undoubtedly a direct challenge to his authority and an insult to him.

"Dammit! This Immortal King Xuan Yang is far too arrogant, he's simply lawless!" Immortal King Tianwu said through gritted teeth. His voice was full of fury and majesty, making people feel an instinctive dread.

"Hmph, does he think I'll just sit by and do nothing? I must give him a harsh lesson!" Immortal King Tianwu decided not to tolerate such provocation any longer. He immediately sent a transmission to his old friend, Immortal King Zhenjiao, hoping he could come over sooner.

"Immortal King Zhenjiao, I've decided not to wait any longer! This Immortal King Xuan Yang is going too far. If we don't take action now, there might be more trouble. I must strike as soon as possible and teach this lawless fellow a lesson!" Immortal King Tianwu's tone was firm, carrying an unquestionable determination as he spoke through a Jade Token.

"Fine, I'll head over to your place immediately. We'll discuss the details when I arrive," Immortal King Zhenjiao replied and cut off the Jade Token transmission.

Meanwhile, in the main hall of the Southwest King's Mansion, Immortal King Tianwu paced back and forth restlessly, appearing anxious. He was already impatient to set out and twist off Immortal King Xuan Yang's head with his own hands. Had he not been worried that acting alone might allow Immortal King Xuan Yang to escape, he would have already embarked on the journey.

"This Immortal King Xuan Yang is truly detestable, daring to openly challenge my authority! I will never let him off!" Immortal King Tianwu vowed secretly.

"This time, I must go all out. Even if I cannot completely obliterate his true spirit, I will kill him once, let him taste the flavor of death, and force him into reincarnation!" Immortal King Tianwu said viciously.

"Hahaha, Brother Tianwu, have you thought about how to strike?" Before the person was seen, his voice arrived first. Immortal King Zhenjiao's voice drifted from afar, causing the surrounding space to vibrate slightly.

"Hmph! This Immortal King Xuan Yang is too arrogant. It would be against the heavens to not destroy him!" Immortal King Tianwu's expression changed abruptly, his eyes flashing with fire and hatred.

"Good, Brother Tianwu should have done this long ago. How can one allow another to snore beside one's bed?" Immortal King Zhenjiao said in agreement, a cold sneer appearing on his face.

After speaking, the corners of Immortal King Zhenjiao's mouth curled up slightly as he asked, "I wonder if Brother Tianwu has sent anyone to try and recruit him?" His gaze was sharp, as if he could see through everything.

"Brother Zhenjiao, you must be joking. Before I even had the chance to recruit him, he was already poaching my people," Immortal King Tianwu shook his head with a bitter smile, his heart filled with helplessness and anger.

"And those human Immortal Lords are truly ungrateful white-eyed wolves. They actually led their people to defect to Immortal King Xuan Yang at the first Opportunity," Immortal King Tianwu cursed through gritted teeth, his eyes full of disgust and contempt.

"If I had known, I shouldn't have kept those white-eyed wolves around," a ruthless glint flashed in Immortal King Tianwu's eyes, his tone firm and decisive.

"Mm, even if he did join you, given your usual suppression of the Human Race, he might not have been sincere—just like that Wuyang from before," Immortal King Zhenjiao reminded him, a hint of craftiness showing in his eyes.

Immortal King Tianwu remained silent, feeling a secret annoyance. He had indeed suppressed the Human Race in the past, but he hadn't expected it to lead to the current situation. Now, he had to find a way to resolve this problem, or his status would be seriously threatened.

Immortal King Zhenjiao continued, "Furthermore, the Human Race is naturally cunning. Dealing with them requires far too much effort."

"Brother Zhenjiao truly sees things clearly," Immortal King Tianwu nodded.

Immortal King Zhenjiao looked at Immortal King Tianwu with a solemn expression. "Brother Tianwu, I wonder if you have collected information regarding Immortal King Xuan Yang? Although with the strength of the two of us, there is no way he can escape, as the saying goes, even a lion must use its full strength when hunting a rabbit. Moreover, since we are all in the Immortal King Realm, we should know ourselves and our enemy to ensure nothing goes wrong."

Immortal King Tianwu nodded and replied seriously, "Rest assured, Brother Zhenjiao, I've already sent people to investigate him. From what I've gathered, Immortal King Xuan Yang suddenly appeared in Giant Stone City a month ago. Rumor has it he is a Cultivator who ascended from the Lower Realm, and he has ten Dao Companions by his side."

Hearing this, Immortal King Zhenjiao couldn't help but fall into deep thought. "Ascended from the Lower Realm? To be able to break through to the Immortal King Realm in such a short time... it seems Immortal King Xuan Yang hides a massive secret and Opportunity!"

Immortal King Tianwu chimed in, "Indeed. When the time comes, Brother Zhenjiao, we can share this Opportunity together. It might be of great benefit to both of us."

In truth, Immortal King Tianwu felt quite helpless because he knew this secret could not be kept to himself. Once anyone investigated, it would be easy to discover that Immortal King Xuan Yang had broken through to the Immortal King Realm shortly after ascending.

"Mm, indeed. In that case, there's another reason why Immortal King Xuan Yang must die," a flash of determination crossed Immortal King Zhenjiao's eyes.

"By the way, you mentioned he has Dao Companions. I wonder if he values them highly. Perhaps we can start from that angle as a backup plan," Immortal King Zhenjiao sat down, resting his chin on one hand, and spoke after a moment of reflection.

"Well, I heard that Immortal King Xuan Yang values his Dao Companions exceptionally. He even directly raised the cultivation of the Giant Stone City Lord's daughter from a mere Cultivator to an Earth Immortal," Immortal King Tianwu said, recalling the intelligence on Immortal King Xuan Yang.

"If that's the case, then let's plan this out carefully." A glint of craftiness and greed flashed in Immortal King Zhenjiao's eyes.

"Hahaha, Brother Zhenjiao, you've always had many ideas. I'll follow your lead," Immortal King Tianwu said with a laugh.

"Then how about this, Brother Tianwu: the two of us will strike at Immortal King Xuan Yang directly. He's just ascended to the Immortal Realm, so he won't have the home-field advantage. We'll strive for a one-hit kill. Naturally, you'll confront him openly for a few breaths while I hide in the shadows to deliver the fatal blow." Immortal King Zhenjiao began to explain his plan, his eyes revealing ruthlessness and resolve.

Immortal King Tianwu nodded in agreement. "Good, then we'll act according to your plan. We must let this Immortal King Xuan Yang know the consequences of daring to provoke us!"

Immortal King Zhenjiao stood up, crossed his arms, and sneered, "Hmph, this operation will surely ensure he never recovers!"

Immortal King Zhenjiao continued, "Besides that, we'll send our capable subordinates to capture several of his Dao Companions alive. If any accidents occur, we can use them to threaten Immortal King Xuan Yang. If everything goes smoothly... well, you understand what happens afterward."

"Hahaha, good! Brother Zhenjiao is indeed worthy of possessing the Dragon Clan Bloodline. When the time comes, the beauties will all be yours; just give me more of the other spoils," Immortal King Tianwu laughed loudly on the surface, but inwardly he felt some disdain. "You damn lustful worm, you'll die in a woman's bed sooner or later."

After finishing their discussion, the two began to prepare for the assassination. They meticulously planned every detail to ensure nothing would go wrong.

Meanwhile, far away in the Southwest Immortal Desert Generals Mansion attending the auction, Cao Yang knew nothing of this, still immersed in the sweetness of his Dao Companions and the auction.
