The back palace of Invincible Sect.

“A Bo Sea immortal gathering?” Lonemoon looked at Yu Hong who just came in with surprise. “What's that?”

“The country emperors of Bo Sea heard that you Elders have come back, so they presented a joint letter to the Immortal Monarch requesting the Bo Sea Immortal Gathering to be re-held after three days to congratulate the Monarch for returning to position.” Yu Hong handed over the letter in her hand and explained.

Lonemoon took it, glanced at the content of the letter, and he frowned immediately. “How had I never known about such an immortal gathering? And what place is this Bo Sea Pool mentioned here?”

“That's an immortal pool west of the heaven palace, hundreds of kilometers away from the sect.” Yu Hong pointed to the west and said, “Over there, an immortal spring would appear every hundred years from the immortal qi. It is said that the immortal qi inside is thicker than that of immortal veins, so in the past, Bo Sea emperors hold a Bo Sea Immortal Gathering every century. They invite the country emperors across Bo Sea to taste the spring as a kind of reward for them.”

“Where the immortal spring appeared was an extremely beautiful field of flowers to begin with, and it had awesome scenery.” Yu Hong continued to explained. “Immortals of other continents also often went there in admiration of its name. So Bo Sea Immortal Gathering slowly became a grand immortal gathering hosted by the Bo Sea Emperor himself every century.”

“Then why is it called a re-holding?” Lonemoon continued to ask. “Was it never held in the thousands of years in which we left?”

“No indeed.” She shook her head and said, “That immortal spring is at the edge of the Bo Sea Nine-Layered Palace. After the immortal and demon worlds merged, that immortal spring happened to be at the border of the two. In the past, the relation between the Immortals and Demons wasn't as good as it is now. So…”

“So no immortal dared to go there any more?”

“Yes.” nodded Yu Hong. “An immortal spring is useless to the demon clan, and the immortals didn't go there, so naturally nobody thought about it anymore. And we didn't bother about it. Besides, in these years, the relation between those country emperors and the sect was…”

She didn't continue, but her expression wasn't good, and the meaning was clear.

Lonemoon's face sank as well. What kind of people those fifteen Bo Sea emperors were, he of course remembered very clearly. On the surface, they were under the rule of Bo Sea. In reality, they weren't sincerely obedient. When Invincible Sect took charge of Bo Sea last time, they had plotted to replace them, and to take advantage of them with the former immortal guards. Only after being seen through by him and beaten by Chef were they slightly better-behaved.

But in the thousands of years in which they left, though there was Lan Hua, the former emperor in the sect, and they couldn't do anything blatant to betray Bo Sea, there must have been countless little tricks beneath the surface. On the day of Yu Hong's wedding, all Celestial Emperors came to congratulate them, yet none of the fifteen Bo Sea emperors came. This was evident enough.

“In the years in which Sect Master was away, these so-called country emperors were obedient in their appearance, but behind our backs they let out rumors that Emperor Lan Hua was from the demon clan and his temporary charge of Invincible Heavenly Palace was a plot of the demon world to annex Bo Sea. They purposely provoked a conflict between the two sides!” said Yu Hong indignantly. “If not for the emperors of other continents who came themselves to clear the misunderstanding, and for that their cultivation was inferior to Lan Hua, those villains… must have invaded the Heavenly Palace and taken our place long ago.”

Lonemoon looked down once more at the letter in his hand. His frown deepened as he listened.

“Elder Lonemoon!” said Yu Hong with a face full of worry. “Their sudden mention of a re-holding of Bo Sea Immortal Gathering is absolutely not for anything like congratulating the emperor. They must have a different purpose.”

“Nothing more than to invoke conflict so that they can take advantage of it.” Lonemoon threw the letter casually on the table at his side. He recognized such little tricks with one look. He snorted and said, “It's best for them if they can get us to kill one another, so that they reap profit from it.”

Yu Hong was stunned, and a hint of confusion flashed in his eyes. “What does Elder mean?”

“Didn't you realize?” Lonemoon pointed at the letter. “That letter is full of congratulatory words for the return of Bo Sea Emperor. Nine sentences out of ten were to express happiness, longing, and how much they missed him. The extent of exaggeration, it was like Chef had an affair with them.” [the Chinese expression of ‘affair' used here means ‘have a leg' literally.]

“No!” As he finished the sentence, the person who was peeling nuts next to him interrupted suddenly. He thought about it and then said seriously, “What do I want their leg for?” Not like they could be used for cooking.

Yu Hong: “…”

Lonemoon, “…”

Are you f*cking sure you are not here to make jokes?

“There's a problem with these congratulatory words?” Yu Hong still didn't understand.

“Of course it has no problem when we read it.” Lonemoon laughed and knocked at that letter with his flute. “But the key is, this letter is not just for us. More importantly, it is written specially for Lan Hua to read.”

Yu Hong was stunned. “What's it got to do with Boss Lan?”

Lonemoon laughed even colder. “Lonemoon's been in the sect for so many years and has the highest cultivation level. Though a Fiendish Cultivator, he used to be the supremacy of the Emperor after all. The whole immortal world thought that he was the actual Bo Sea Emperor. Right now we come back and say that he was only a substitute, and that Chef is the real Emperor. What would you think if you were him?”

“But Lan Hua never took charge of Invincible Sect.” explained Yu Hong. All matters of the sect were done by her and her Junior Sisters after their discussion. Over these three thousand years, all Lan Hua did was researching on all kinds of spells and messing around with his friend Radish. She couldn't even count the number of trouble that she had helped him deal with.

“But others don't know about it.” Lonemoon looked at her. Who would have thought Lan Hua, whose cultivation was as high as a Demon King and who had guarded Bo Sea for thousands of years, had indeed no interest at all for the position of Emperor. And his own self was merely an idle person residing at Invincible Sect. The kind that needed to pay rent. Nobody would believe such things.

“So… they suggested re-holding Bo Sea Immortal Gathering to provoke Boss Lan's displeasure so that he would fight with Elder Yi Qing for the position of Bo Sea Emperor?” Yi Qing opened her eyes wide, her face full of disbelief.

Lan Hua… And Elder Yi Qing? These people have such amazing imaginative powers.

Not to mention how to get someone who was in practicing room studying new spells everyday and someone who was in kitchen studying new dishes together in the first place.

To make these two top-notch absentee leaders fight for the position of Emperor, they must be joking! They would only get together to throw it away as far as they could, okay?

Not to mention Lan Hua's casualness with everything besides cultivation, Elder Yi Qing also never liked to bother with people. It was hard for the two to even come into conflict.

Unless it was for…

She turned back subconsciously, and looked at the person who on a very rare occasion, wasn't nibbling at a fruit, but clicking at something on a light screen with a cold face.

A rush of excitement went across her heart. The sect master was the most capable indeed…

“All those country emperors have their minds full of politics and dark thoughts, and they thought everyone was like them.” Lonemoon snorted, and his eyes were full of sarcasm. After a long while he turned to Yu Hong and said, “Go and reply to them that we will hold this Bo Sea Immortal Gathering on time.”

“Oh? We're holding it?” Yu Hong stunned briefly.

“Of course we are!” smiled Lonemoon. “Don't they want to go? Then we are not only holding it, but holding it grandly. We are not only inviting the country emperors but also all the Exalted Immortals in the realm of Bo Sea.”

“Huh?!” Yu Hong was stunned. “But in the Bo Sea, there are hundreds with the cultivation of Exalted Immortal…”

“It is better with more people.” Lonemoon smiled in a way that his eyes narrowed into a line. “Don't they enjoy scheming? We are rather free, in any case. We will play with them.”

“… Yes!” Yu Hong turned and went to send notices.

Though she didn't know what Elder Lonemoon wanted to do, she just felt that there was something big waiting for the country emperors.
