Urban Extraordinary Immortal Doctor-Chapter 2295: I’m Not Afraid!

"...The disciples of the Eight Great Immortal Emperors have been killed one after another, causing a significant stir in the Immortal Realm. There are speculations that the culprit might be a disciple of the Emperor’s Palace, as only they would be fearless of death and dare to provoke the Eight Great Immortal Emperors..."

Although Empress Zixia’s strength is slightly weaker than the Eight Great Immortal Emperors, she is still one of the Immortal Emperors. Her disciples are spread throughout the Immortal Realm, so regardless of the matter’s size, it rarely escapes her notice.

Upon hearing the news of Emperor’s Palace disciples killing those under the Eight Great Immortal Emperors, Empress Zixia, who was traveling in the Immortal Realm, paid attention to the matter. After extensive investigation, she indeed found traces of Emperor’s Palace disciples’ involvement and learned from descriptions of some immortals about a few disciples’ appearances.

However, Empress Zixia did not know who those Emperor’s Palace disciples were, or what titles they held, or their status and position within the palace. From some immortals’ descriptions, it seemed those Emperor’s Palace disciples didn’t have high cultivation levels and were likely lower-status disciples in past Emperor’s Palace.

Knowing that Tang Wenrou was one of the lower-level disciples in the Emperor’s Palace, Empress Zixia hurried back to Zixia Palace to inform her, hoping she might know the identity of those disciples. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

"Among those Emperor’s Palace disciples, there seems to be a high-profile young immortal in white. After killing the Eight Great Immortal Emperors’ disciples, he boldly announced his identity and name, Fang Bai... However, since then, he seems to have vanished into thin air, with no trace found by any forces under the Eight Great Immortal Emperors. Wen Rou, is there an immortal named Fang Bai in your Emperor’s Palace?"

Empress Zixia looked at Tang Wenrou and asked toward the end.

Upon hearing the name "Fang Bai," Tang Wenrou’s body shook as if struck by lightning, and she uttered tremblingly, "Fang Bai..."

Seeing her reaction, Empress Zixia knew she not only recognized Fang Bai but also had an unusual relationship with him. Her spirits lifted in joy as she said, "You know him, don’t you? Tell Master about him."

Struggling internally, Tang Wenrou decided not to reveal Fang Bai’s true identity and said evasively, "Fang Bai and I... Actually, we are immortal companions..."

Empress Zixia expressed surprise with an "Oh," nodded, and said, "Continue."

Actually, when she first met Tang Wenrou, she noticed Wenrou was no longer a Primordial Yin Physique, but had never inquired if Tang Wenrou had an immortal companion. Surprisingly, Wenrou disclosed it herself.

Empress Zixia knew her disciple was cold by nature, rarely smiling, and had high standards. Despite numerous male immortals with outstanding qualifications expressing love for her in Zixia Palace, she rejected them all. Fang Bai must be exceptionally talented to win her favor.

Her interest in Fang Bai grew, knowing his name but never having seen him.

Tang Wenrou’s mind raced as she continued, "Fang Bai possesses Innate Spiritual Roots, his aptitude slightly better than mine. He was highly regarded by the Emperor’s Palace leadership back then. However, after the palace’s demise, I lost contact with him."

She paused here, then asked anxiously, "Master, where did you hear about Fang Bai? I... I want to find him."

Apart from withholding Fang Bai’s true identity, most of her words were truthful. The anxiety on her face wasn’t feigned, as she truly worried about and missed Fang Bai, wishing to leave Zixia Palace to search for him immediately.

She firmly believed Fang Bai’s current cultivation and strength must far exceed hers, but compared to the Eight Great Immortal Emperors, there was still a significant gap. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be elusive and would only kill some lower-grade Immortal King Realm experts under the Eight Great Immortal Emperors.

Tang Wenrou hadn’t been in the Immortal Realm for long, yet under Empress Zixia’s guidance, she deeply understood the power of the Eight Great Immortal Emperors. She thought that Fang Bai, after reincarnating, wasn’t the peak War Emperor who once dominated the Immortal Realm. If caught by the Eight Great Immortal Emperors, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Tang Wenrou wanted to find Fang Bai, share his fate and stand by his side no matter when or where.

Empress Zixia said, "According to some immortals in the Immortal Realm, Fang Bai appeared in many places, including Ice River Palace, Myriad Sword Sect, Qingtian Palace, Dragon Taming Palace, and Thunder Palace, where several disciples perished at his hands. His most recent appearance was when he teamed up with two Emperor’s Palace disciples to kill a dozen Immortal Kings in Qingtian Palace..."

Tang Wenrou’s eyes lit up with joy, saying, "Then he might be near Qingtian Palace?"

Empress Zixia shook her head, "It’s hard to say. The killing of Qingtian Palace’s disciples happened near a city under Qingtian Palace’s control. Months have passed, and with the Eight Great Immortal Emperors’ forces pursuing him, who knows where he might be hiding?"

Tang Wenrou, thinking of Fang Bai evading the Eight Great Immortal Emperors’ forces, hiding and constantly facing danger, grew increasingly anxious. She stood up resolutely and said, "I can’t wait; I must find him!"

Empress Zixia knew Tang Wenrou’s stubborn determination was difficult to persuade. With a bitter smile, she said, "Wen Rou, don’t be impulsive. Listen to me. You’re also an Emperor’s Palace disciple, but not strong enough. If you venture out and get discovered by the Eight Great Immortal Emperors’ forces, you could face mortal danger..."

Tang Wenrou replied, "I’m not afraid!"

"I know you’re not afraid, but there’s no need to die in vain! If you die, how heartbroken would Master be? And your immortal companion Fang Bai, how heartbroken would he be?"

Empress Zixia sighed, "Trust Master. I was close to the Emperor’s Palace Master in the past, and since the palace’s fall, I’ve hoped to gather and protect the scattered Emperor’s Palace disciples to the best of my abilities. However, the matter is significant, and if the Eight Great Immortal Emperors find out, it could be a catastrophe for Zixia Palace. So, regarding Fang Bai, we must carefully plan!"

Tang Wenrou acknowledged Empress Zixia’s reasoning yet felt restless, determined to find Fang Bai and face everything alongside him as soon as possible.

Just then, Empress Zixia sensed something, and her gaze penetrated the Palace Master Hall’s door, looking into the distant void.

Noticing the usually kind and amiable Empress Zixia’s sudden expression of evil qi, Tang Wenrou knew something major was happening.

"Several immortals from Qingtian Palace have arrived... Wen Rou, stay in the hall and don’t go anywhere. I’ll meet them outside, see what they want."

Empress Zixia spoke with an indisputable tone, then raised her horsetail whisk, her figure disappearing from the hall. The space where she sat earlier gently rippled.
