If you consider me a threat, I can keep a distance.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite Baili An lowering his stance, Fang Geyu remained unaffected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She slowly raised her jet-black slender eyebrows and chuckled softly: \"You think my giving Mu Yunye a warning is in opposition to this wedding?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Perhaps it would have been so in the past, but now, I am beyond greed, rage, infatuation, and love. Having wielded the sword of wisdom to sever desires, my heart is purified, loyal to my mission.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I have lost the ability to love anyone, be it you or Mu Yunye, you’re nothing but a part of the vast scenery.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The crisis in Shifang City is looming, the Witch Plague Poison and Taboo forces all originate from our Shifang City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once this is exposed, Shifang City will inevitably become the second Demon Land for the world to attack. My father’s concerns are not unfounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If I perish with the city, without the bloodline of Thirteen Swords to guard, all living beings will surely suffer.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Geyu glanced at Baili An casually and said: \"If necessary, I will choose one among the many suitors to bear a bloodline, just like my mother did.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just like your mother?\" Baili An suddenly let out a low chuckle, but his expression seemed to be one of being angered into laughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hearing your words, Fang Geyu, you seem to want to have a child with another man, then like your mother, sacrifice yourself for the greater good of mankind?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing his expression turning somewhat dangerous, Fang Geyu darkly furrowed her brows and coldly smiled, her words inevitably becoming sharp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why are you so agitated? Is it possible you want me to choose you? But you seem to forget, you are a corpse demon, without the ability to reproduce with humans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, what’s the harm in choosing you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The conversation gradually collapsed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Baili An’s eyes narrowed deeply, Fang Geyu thought that once these words were spoken, they would inevitably hurt deeply, yet she did not care.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just when she thought Baili An would not be able to endure such humiliation and would explode in anger, his furrowed brows gradually relaxed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He suddenly lifted his hand, gently brushing a strand of wind-tousled hair by her temple, carefully wrapping it around his fingers for a moment, then tucking it behind her ear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He smiled faintly at her: \"It’s late, you’ve had some wine today, the cold wind will give you a headache if you’re out too long. Go inside and rest early.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Geyu allowed him to finish, her expression remained indifferent and detached.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tonight’s banquet took everyone by surprise, Fang You left his daughter’s residence heavily burdened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the Steward of Qin Lou lifted the curtain to guide him, he was about to step into the carriage to return to the main city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"City Lord Fang, please wait.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A voice came from behind at this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang You frowned and turned around, seeing the young man in green stepping out of the residence, the same insolent fellow who was impertinent with his daughter tonight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An unpleasant dark aura rose over City Lord Fang’s handsome face, his expression stiff and cold: \"It’s you? What do you want with me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have a question to ask you, City Lord.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Baili An descended the steps slowly, asking with a faint smile: \"Today, I observed the Third Miss’s garden where all flowers bloom beautifully, all rare species.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet only that old plum tree is a mortal species, why is that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang You didn’t know what was on his mind by stopping him and asking such trivial things, feeling even more annoyed and unwilling to answer this question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why do you ask this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"City Lord Fang, there’s no need to be so tense, I just want to confirm one thing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Baili An walked up to Fang You, taking something from his bosom, \"Speaking of which, I came hurriedly today, and it’s my oversight not to have prepared a gift for the City Lord upon our meeting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, I have a modest gift with me to show my sincerity, and I hope the City Lord can accept it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it were a proper gift, it would have been presented during the banquet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why bother sneaking it afterwards, in secret?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang You grew increasingly disdainful of Baili An’s actions and waved his hand in refusal: \"There’s no need for this, Shifang City doesn’t require such pretenses, you had better return quickly...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mid-sentence, Fang You’s peripheral vision caught sight of the object in Baili An’s hand, his eyes bulged as if he had seen a ghost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice was abruptly cut off, as if he had suffered a great fright, his legs trembled and he nearly fell off the carriage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Baili An swiftly stepped forward to hold Fang You’s arm, softly saying: \"City Lord, beware of your footing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beads of sweat emerged on Fang You’s forehead, his face showed a mix of dread and surprise, the hand held by Baili An trembled uncontrollably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Lou, the steward, wore a strange expression, unable to discern whether Fang You’s face showed delight or astonishment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Supported by Baili An, Fang You’s footing faltered, his attitude took a complete turn, hurriedly inviting Baili An onto the carriage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Please, please, you must get on the carriage first, in this cold wind and snow, Fang You was indeed discourteous.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Baili An remained motionless, his gaze slightly shifted toward Qin Lou.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang You immediately understood, \"Qin Lou, you may depart now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Lou, the steward, was momentarily surprised, seemingly taken aback, but did not say much else, uttered a word and vanished into the night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the carriage, Fang You tremblingly returned the half-piece of jade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fang You did not know...that the Immortal Lord was gracing us with his presence, many apologies for any discourtesy at the banquet, but this is Heaven Emperor Jade, Fang You would dare not accept even if he died a thousand times.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heaven Emperor Jade?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Baili An’s eyes deepened, yet his face remained calm and composed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the heavens there are Five Venerables and Two Emperors, the Five Venerables reside in the Outer Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such as the Kunlun God Cang Nanyi, Netherworld Venerate Taiyin, Jun Yi the ruler of Guyin Nation, Human Emperor Chenghuang, and Emperor Taigeng Di Jun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the Two Emperors, only one emperor has been appointed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That is the Northern Black Emperor, foremost among Immortal Venerables, Zhu Zhan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the Eastern Heaven Emperor foretold on the Star Plate of the Heavenly River, it has yet to emerge into Sanctum Ascension.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang You never imagined that within his fleeting life, he would have the privilege of witnessing the Heaven Emperor Jade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though it was only half a piece, he could faintly see the ancient engraved ’Heaven’ on the jade, presumably because the possessor wished to conceal their ’Immortal Name’, unwilling to let others know.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But...what moment did this Eastern Heaven Emperor rise into the Mortal Realm, and why during this lengthy night of Star River, was there never an omen?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang You was filled with doubt, hardly daring to speculate, even less daring to address the person before him rashly, he could only prudently call him Immortal Lord.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the title of Immortal Lord, is not one that anyone can easily obtain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tonight those who entered the banquet were all offspring of Golden Immortals and Daoist Immortals, yet they were not in the true sense Upper Pure Immortal Monarchs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only by being personally appointed and crowned by Immortal Venerable Zhu Zhan, can one rightfully hold the position of Immortal Monarch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even in the boundless Immortal World, this was an extremely elevated status.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among those eight, including Mu Yunye, although possessing True Immortal Bloodline, still too young, cultivation lasting but a scant hundred years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In truth, only Mu Yunye’s might has crossed the tribulation realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If not for the Spiritual Power of the Upper Pure Immortal Realm being richer, surpassing the Mortal World a hundredfold, Mu Yunye such a talent of the Immortal World.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His aptitude is still far inferior to the famed mortals Taixuan Nine Classics, Cangwu Ten Hidden Palaces, and Tianxi Thirteen Swords, such truly dedicated cultivators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only in the Mortal World, there are few taboos, as a show of respect, Fang You addressed him as Immortal Lord, to highlight his extraordinary identity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, in the Upper Pure Immortal Realm, this title of Immortal Lord is not one that can be casually uttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was only tonight that Baili An realized the half-piece of jade he picked up from the corpse inside the serpent’s belly was indeed the Heaven Emperor Jade, symbolizing supreme authority.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shocked in mind, the mysteries became increasingly harder to unravel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So it came to the question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one had ever seen the Emperor Jade of the Upper Pure Immortal Realm, even someone like Baili An who was well-read knew very little.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He only learned some scraps of information from aged Ancient Scrolls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How was it that Fang You could instantly recognize this jade’s origin?\u003C\u002Fp>",1655,"2026-06-06T15:17:11.741Z",1,"novelbin.me","b44d11585bfaf1f3cd6c95151604f5c86a9785cb4a67c40c6bc6ceb8bd4f2f6a","journey-to-the-end-of-the-night-chapter-1587","journey-to-the-end-of-the-night-chapter-1585",1594,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fjourney-to-the-end-of-the-night-cover.jpg"]
