Chapter 417: Banished Immortals

Yuan was speechless after this newcomer’s arrival.

“Now hold on just a damn minute! Who are you calling a sly vixen? How dare you tarnish my reputation with such an outrageous lie!” The Immortal Fairy said in an angry voice.

She then turned to look at Yuan and continued, “Don’t listen to him, young man. Everything I said is the truth. As much as I want to get out of this place, I won’t lower myself to such a standard to do so, unlike someone over here.”

“Young man, that vixen is known for seducing young men and tossing them aside like trash once she’s done with them. I cannot count how many young men she had ruined in the past,” said the Sect Master.

And he continued, “Vixen, why don’t you tell him your other title besides the Ethereal Immortal Fairy? Or are you scared that it might reveal your true self? Here, let me help you then! Besides Ethereal Immortal Fairy, you’re also known as the Deceitful Blood Empress!”

“Wha—?! That stupid title was given to me by those losers I’d rejected! That has nothing to do with me being deceitful!” The Immortal Fairy refuted.

And she continued to defend herself, “As one of the top beauties in the Nine Heavens, it’s only natural that I would have countless admirers! However, whenever I would reject someone, they would spread lies to get back at me! Young man, you have to believe me! I am innocent!”

“This man, on the other hand, is known for manipulating people! People also called him Devil Hand Madman back in the Primordial Era! If it’s anyone you should be careful about, it’s him!”

The Immortal Fairy and the Sect Master began pointing fingers at each other. It was a weird sight to witness for Yuan.

“Umm…” Yuan suddenly interrupted them and asked, “What do you guys plan on doing if you do leave this place? Continue fighting the Celestial Emperor?”

The two of them stopped fighting each other and turned to look at Yuan in silence.

After a moment of silence, they laughed, “Hahaha! Of course, not! We have already lost the war— there’s no point in fighting anymore. Furthermore, what can one or two of us do against the Celestial Emperor when an entire army has failed to defeat him? We also don’t know what it’s like outside, too.”

The Sect Master then said, “My plans will mostly depend on what is happening outside and the current situation with the Celestial Emperor. If he’s still ruling the Nine Heavens, then I will probably remain lowkey and change my identity. If that bastard is dead, then I will restore my sect and its glory.”

“Hmph. Unlike him, I don’t have such big ambitions. I am simply so bored of this place that I don’t care what I do outside as long as I’m not stuck in this dump.” The Immortal Fairy said.

“Hmm…” Yuan was relieved to hear that they didn’t want revenge or anything too crazy, as he pitied their situation and wanted to help them.

While they could also be tricking him, he didn’t sense any malice coming from them.

“Then can you tell me how I can help you leave this place? I hope you’re not going to say something like ‘I will need to borrow your body’…” Yuan said to them.

“Hahaha… Borrow your body? We’re not ghosts. Although it’s possible, it’s not very practical, and it’s not very convenient for us either.” The Immortal Fairy laughed.

“Then how?”

“It’s really simple, actually.” The Sect Master said, and he continued, “One of us will occupy your treasure until we can recreate our body.”

Yuan pondered for a moment and said, “Since it’s that easy, why are you guys fighting over who I should help, even trying to bash the other person?”

“Well… Because even though it may sound simple, it actually requires a lot of your soul strength to keep us safe inside the treasure, and it’s not possible for someone at your level to help two of us at once. However, the biggest issue is that the treasure we can occupy is limited to Soul Weapons, and people normally can only wield one at a time.” The Sect Master said.

“You have a Soul Weapon, right? I saw you use it, hence why I even asked you to help me.” The Immortal Fairy said.

“Well… I do have a Soul Weapon… In fact, I have two, so I might be able to help both of you.” Yuan said.

“What?! You have two Soul Weapons?!”

They both exclaimed in a surprised voice.

Even during the Primordial Era that gave birth to the most talented geniuses the Nine Heavens has seen to date, it was incredibly rare for someone to wield two Soul Weapons at once.

“Haha! This is great! This means both of us can leave!” The Sect Master shouted in a blissful voice.

“If he has enough soul strength to wield two Soul Weapons, he’ll most likely have enough soul strength to help both of us. However, his cultivation is still lacking severely.” The Immortal Fairy said.

And she continued, “You must be at least a Spirit Emperor before you can help us.”

“Spirit Emperor? That’ll take years! And I only have a couple more days in this place before I have to leave!” Yuan said to them.

“It’s only a few years. We have been here for countless years. A few more years won’t make any difference to us. And you can simply come back to this place in the future.” The Immortal Fairy said.

“I’m not sure I will be able to return to this place after I leave, though…”

“Don’t worry, the Shadow Realm exists in many places. As long as you continue to explore the Nine Heavens, you’ll eventually come back here again. Hopefully, you’ll be a Spirit Emperor by then,” said the Sect Master.

“So? Will you be willing to help us? We’ll definitely repay this debt and more in the future.” The Immortal Fairy asked him again.
