Chapter 526: Chapter 526

Chu Yan’s tone was casual, and the Netherworld Emperor sighed again.

He thought back to when he had come to him to repair Qin Zhao’s soul, with that same determined attitude.

"You’ve planted your roots in a woman in this life. Without her, a favored child of the Heavenly Dao like you could’ve possibly succeeded the Immortal Emperor.

Now it seems, you probably don’t have such ambitions."

Chu Yan indeed lacked such ambitions.

The supreme path that people revered seemed so boring and dull to him.

If he couldn’t be with the one he loved, even if he became the ruler of all realms, possessing the ultimate power, what would it matter?

He would still feel like a man without a home.

Where Qin Zhao was, that was where his home lay.

Perhaps because he had never had a normal, warm family environment in past lives or present, Chu Yan particularly cherished that sense of completeness when the whole family was together after Qin Zhao became pregnant.

"Who do you think has framed you?"

The Netherworld Emperor brought the conversation back.

"It must be King Zhuanlun; he knows of my relationship with Qin Zhao and has always wanted to make a move on her."

Chu Yan saw that the Netherworld Emperor didn’t respond and couldn’t help but ask, "What exactly does he want to do?"

"By releasing Cheng Wu and framing you for colluding with him, he just wants to get rid of my right-hand man."

King Zhuanlun had vanished from the underworld, and the Netherworld Emperor had lost contact with him.

But the Netherworld Emperor wasn’t completely oblivious to King Zhuanlun’s betrayal; he had expected it.

"King Zhuanlun is probably coveting my position."

The Netherworld Emperor was indebted to Chu Yan, and Chu Yan would support him with all his might if the Netherworld Emperor were in trouble.

If King Zhuanlun wanted to take the Netherworld Emperor’s place, the first person he’d have to remove was Chu Yan.

"I will pass on these details to the Immortal Emperor, including the matter of Cheng Wu’s release. Since King Zhuanlun wants to oppose me, I have no need to protect him."

The Immortal Realm and the Netherworld weren’t harmonious, but rather harbored mutual animosity.

Thousands of years ago, there was a great war between the Immortal Realm and the Netherworld.

Because the Netherworld was defeated and suffered great losses in talents, they now had to submit to the Immortal Realm.

The Netherworld Emperor, upon learning of Cheng Wu’s escape, did not send anyone after him nor did he inform the Immortal Realm immediately; he actually wanted to watch the drama unfold.

Chu Yan had seen through this relationship, which is why he brazenly released Cheng Wu.

"If there’s nothing else, I’ll be going back."

Before Luo Han left the apartment, he attempted to break into the house.

Feeling someone tampering with his Array, and worried about Qin Zhao’s safety, Chu Yan was anxious to return and check on her.

Without waiting for the Netherworld Emperor’s response, Chu Yan’s figure vanished from the spot.

"This kid! He must be off to see his wife again."

The Netherworld Emperor stared at the spot where he had left, his tone full of helplessness.

He stood up from the desk and kicked the Imperial Edict of the Immortal Emperor that lay on the floor.

The Netherworld Emperor snorted coldly, "What is this nonsense, trying to instruct me?"

In his eyes, the Immortal Emperor was not fit to be his superior.

Being amiable to the Immortal Emperor was just a matter of biding his time.

When the right moment came, he would get rid of him for good.

Chu Yan had noticed the Imperial Edict lying on the ground as soon as he had come in and knew the Netherworld Emperor had no interest in dealing with the Immortal Emperor.

The Netherworld Emperor was about to leave the great hall when Black and White Impermanence suddenly flew in.

"Your Majesty! There’s trouble!"

"What’s with all the commotion? Every day it’s ’this isn’t right, that isn’t right.’ Can’t you handle your own problems? Besides, King Chujiang is your direct superior, go to him first!"

The Netherworld Emperor looked at the two spirits, clearly annoyed.

The two spirits meekly said, "King Chujiang says he wants to accompany his wife and told us to come directly to you."

The Netherworld Emperor clenched his fists, itching to give Chu Yan, who had just left, a beating.

He took a deep breath, "Speak! If it isn’t something of great importance, I will twist your heads off!"

"Important! Very important!"

"Yes, I guarantee it’s very important with my soul!"

The Netherworld Emperor grew increasingly impatient, "Speak quickly!"

"Princess Qingdai has been kidnapped."

"The other party also went to the Immortal Court to threaten, saying it was done by our Netherworld."

The Netherworld Emperor’s expression twisted for a moment before he finally couldn’t hold back and exploded with a curse.

"Damn it! Don’t let me find out who the bastard is trying to frame me!"

He stormed out of the great hall, planning to go to the Immortal Realm to get to the bottom of this.

After taking a few steps, the Netherworld Emperor turned back to look at the two ghosts, "Isn’t Princess Qingdai in the Immortal Realm? How could someone from our Netherworld lay a hand on her?"

"She had been to the Netherworld, then she went to the Mortal World to find Chu Yan."

The Netherworld Emperor was utterly speechless, and again, he had to humble himself in the Immortal Realm.

Who made them temporarily unable to defeat the Immortal Realm?

The Immortal Emperor’s precious daughter has gone missing in their territory, and they were probably going to give him a hard time.

"Your lord will first understand the situation. You must inform Chu Yan about this matter and tell him to hurry and find a way to locate Qingdai. Her disappearance is related to him as well, don’t let him sit idly by!"

He was going to the Immortal Realm to take the scolding, while Chu Yan had it good, delightfully accompanying his wife, thinking of pleasures!

"Understood, Your Majesty, take care!"

"Your Majesty, don’t be angry, we will surely find the bastard who framed us!"

Black and White Impermanence responded in succession.

Chu Yan rushed back home and found that Qin Zhao was all right, instantly feeling relieved.

"Who came looking for you today?"

Chu Yan tensed up as he heard this name, "You didn’t let him in, right?"

Qin Zhao shook her head, "No."

Chu Yan sat down next to her and gently kissed her, "What do you want to eat tonight? I will cook for you."

"Is your matter handled?"

Qin Zhao looked at him steadily, the cool and dark depths of her eyes reflecting her face.

He looked back at her as if his eyes could only contain her.

Qin Zhao thought again about the things Luo Han had said, she wanted to ask about the fiancee and also wanted to know what Chu Yan was doing after she had died in the previous life.

He must have successfully ascended and even gained the Immortal Emperor’s favor.

Now, he also held an important position in the Netherworld’s Underworld.

At this moment, Qin Zhao suddenly realized that there was a distance, a chasm between her and Chu Yan, different from the previous life.

She had not ascended to this day and because of the child in her womb, her cultivation was constantly falling.

As the child grew month by month, her cultivation was dropping rapidly.

If Chu Yan had not given her those rare elixirs, her cultivation would not even be enough to sustain the child.

Qin Zhao slowly shifted her gaze and said out of the blue, "Do you think that having this child means I can never leave you?"

For some reason, there was a feeling of reluctance in her heart.

Perhaps it was the obsession of not ascending in both past and present lives, or perhaps the loss of cultivation due to pregnancy made her feel as if she was getting worse.

She was a very proud person and found it hard to accept.

Even, she was starting to resent herself.
