The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor Chapter 2109 - 2106: Immortal Emperor Token

————

After leaving the Heavenly Pond Graveyard, North Yao Shenwu was mulling over, with a heavy heart, whether to return to Dao Chu Cliff or go see the Immortal Emperor.

She thought it over repeatedly, but found no answer.

She was never indecisive before.

But today, her mind was in disarray.

It seemed as though Emperor Ye had truly disturbed her Dao Heart.

This shouldn’t have happened.

After all, she was North Yao Shenwu!

Yet, in her current state, she simply couldn’t face the Immortal Emperor.

Thinking this way, North Yao Shenwu decided to return to Dao Chu Ancient Land.

But as she was nearing the Xuanhuang Great World, she suddenly halted.

Because outside the domain of the Xuanhuang Great World, there was an old man, half her height, holding a peach wood stick, staring at her coldly.

Mountain Que Immortal King.

Old Mountain!

Seeing it was this person, North Yao Shenwu’s gaze turned cold; she did not believe there was no problem with Old Mountain.

On the contrary, she felt Old Mountain’s problem was quite significant!

Seeing Old Mountain actually blocking her path, she remarked coldly, "What? Do you still want a fight?"

Old Mountain looked at North Yao Shenwu and suddenly mocked, "Tsk, tsk, looking at your appearance, were you unexpectedly beaten up by the Young Night Emperor? Seems you were even beaten to tears?"

"The Young Night Emperor really is something. Even with such a beautiful maiden, he could bear to be so ruthless?"

Old Mountain entirely disregarded North Yao Shenwu’s increasingly cold gaze and continued speaking to himself, "I mean to say, people, ah, should take things lightly to live freely, don’t you think?"

North Yao Shenwu stared at Old Mountain and coldly asked, "What exactly are you trying to say?"

Old Mountain squinted his eyes slightly and said slowly, "In the past, at the Immortal World Emperor Pass Great Wall, how many Dou Tian Kings did you kill?"

North Yao Shenwu snorted coldly, "What does that have to do with you? A mere deserter thinks to discuss this with me?"

Old Mountain lightly stroked his long beard, showing no anger, and said with a smile, "What have you changed?"

"You changed nothing; if not for that person stepping in at the last moment, you would not even have had the chance to open your eyes again."

North Yao Shenwu responded coldly, "That point needs no reminder from you; I remember it clearly."

Old Mountain restrained his smile and said solemnly, "Since that’s the case, you should not view me as an enemy, for you and I are on the same front line."

A hint of disdain appeared in North Yao Shenwu’s beautiful eyes, and she didn’t even bother to acknowledge Old Mountain.

Seeing this, Old Mountain did not get angry; instead, he spoke more seriously, "I won’t hide it from you; I am an undercover agent for that person, tasked with monitoring the Young Night Emperor."

"What?!"

North Yao Shenwu was taken aback, staring intently at Old Mountain.

Old Mountain nodded slightly and said in a serious tone, "That person assigned me the task of keeping an eye on the Young Night Emperor."

Without hesitation, North Yao Shenwu denied, "Impossible! Emperor Ye was never part of that battle!"

Old Mountain shook his head, "It’s undeniable indeed that the later Undying Night Emperor was not part of that battle, but do you know what the Undying Night Emperor is all about? Moreover, that River Soldier he possesses, do you really need me to tell you whose weapon it once was?"

North Yao Shenwu’s pupils contracted slightly, "The River Soldier is with him?"

Old Mountain replied with a quirky expression, "You didn’t know?"

North Yao Shenwu remained silent, staring intently at Old Mountain.

She didn’t trust this guy!

Seeing North Yao Shenwu still doubting him, Old Mountain sighed and fished out a half-piece token from his chest.

On the token was the upper part of the character ’Hong’.

The back of the token had the upper part of the character ’Immortal’.

Seeing this scene, North Yao Shenwu widened her mouth in astonishment, somewhat incredulous.

Hong Yao Immortal Emperor Token!

This was the token carried by the Immortal Emperor personally!

There was only one in the world!

The half-token in Old Mountain’s hand was clearly a part of the original one taken that year!

This reminded her of that terrifying Dou Tian King the Immortal Emperor encountered back in the day.

The profundity of that Dou Tian King’s Sword Dao was unimaginable.

It was precisely this Dou Tian King who had swung his sword, splitting the Hong Yao Immortal Emperor Token in half.

Then...

The Dou Tian King had his head twisted off by Hong Yao Immortal Emperor.

But after that, the Hong Yao Immortal Emperor Token remained in two halves, with no intentions from the Immortal Emperor to restore it.

Seeing the Hong Yao Immortal Emperor Token in Old Mountain’s hand at this moment made North Yao Shenwu ponder carefully over Old Mountain’s words.

"Well?"

Old Mountain shook the Hong Yao Immortal Emperor Token in his hand and then put it away.

North Yao Shenwu remained silent for a long time, contemplating Old Mountain’s words.

Old Mountain was in no hurry, waiting quietly.

A moment later.

North Yao Shenwu stared at Old Mountain, "Even if what you say is true, then why would the Immortal Emperor want you to watch over Emperor Ye?"

Old Mountain shook his head, "That’s not something I can know, but as far as I know, that person is suspicious of Emperor Ye’s origins."

"What origins?" North Yao Shenwu asked coldly, "Aren’t his origins already known to you?"

Even though she had recognized the Hong Yao Immortal Emperor Token as genuine, she still doubted Old Mountain’s words.

Old Mountain rolled his eyes, "How would I know? My first encounter with him was from my own intentions, with the Young Night Emperor noticing my motives, resulting in him giving me a beating."

North Yao Shenwu pursed her lips, a hint of seriousness in her beautiful eyes, "What exactly are his other origins?"

Old Mountain grinned, "I can only speak about what I know: Thunder Demon, Kunpeng, the First Corpse, these folks have all seen him."

North Yao Shenwu’s expression grew more serious, "But that doesn’t prove anything, does it?"

Old Mountain shrugged indifferently, "I can only say so much; the rest you’ll have to interpret for yourself."

North Yao Shenwu stared at Old Mountain, "Can’t you make it a bit clearer?"

Old Mountain lightly stroked his long beard and smiled, "You really don’t seem like an Immortal King; utterly foolish, it’s just that person’s kindness keeping you in standing, otherwise how could you have a foothold?"

With that said, Old Mountain paid no heed to North Yao Shenwu’s murderous gaze and turned to leave, "If you have questions, you can ask that person, but I advise you not to disturb, lest the plan gets ruined."

"Also, don’t spill a word about my affairs."

With these words.

Old Mountain disappeared.

At this moment.

Time and space returned to normal.

It turned out that during their conversation, time and space had been frozen.

This conversation would not affect anything.

Not entangled with cause and effect...

Impossible.

After all, North Yao Shenwu now knew.

"Night Emperor..."

"What exactly is your origin?"

At this moment, North Yao Shenwu was somewhat shaken.

Although she didn’t fully trust Old Mountain’s words, due to the Hong Yao Immortal Emperor Token, she was half-convinced.

This was enough to make her question the origins and allegiance of the Undying Night Emperor.

North Yao Shenwu glanced back at the vast outer void, boundless and filled with chaos.

In that direction, naturally, was where the Heavenly Pond Graveyard lay.

For a long time.

North Yao Shenwu withdrew her gaze, deciding to return to Dao Chu Cliff first and stabilize her Dao Heart.

Once that’s done, she would go explore the situation at the Old Immortal Shop.

Although that old fellow’s Dao had been shattered, he still knew a lot.
