Windking Perfect Immortal. Windghost Perfect Immortal. Jewelheart Perfect Immortal. Swordknight Perfect Immortal. And last but the best, Daoempress Perfect Immortal.
Five immortals in the line up. It was a horrifying one that could sweep through time and ages of the world! Remember, just Windking alone was capable of destroying sects and clans with just a mere swing of his hand.
However, they knew very well that this was far from enough. The darkness was too much of a threat and they had to be careful in all sides.
"Your Highness, it has been a while." Windking greeted the Daoempress with a warm smile on his face. The empress hadn't changed a bit. But she have gotten stronger than before, "I'm also very happy that you are still alive."
"I'm just merely lucky. Daoempress shook her head and sighed, "The dao is arduous and lonely. Anytime soon will be the end of me."
It wasn't a bluff on the empress' side. As a very ancient cultivator, she knew the implications of what she was feeling in her body. Her sect had used thousands of methods to keep her alive and healthy, but even her couldn't fully escape the erosion of time.
Windking refrained from commenting about this. It would be a disrespect to the empress if he contradict it. Nevertheless, he still wished her well, "You are the light of the world, Your Highness. I'm sure you will live more."
The empress didn't say anything again and focused on the person floating mid air, "Who is that person?"
"Ah, that's Young Master Jin. He is someone that our Forefather has chosen." Windking answered immediately, "He is a hidden master that I have never had heard of in the past."
"I can see it." Daoempress nodded, "That young man is very unfathomable. Even I cannot discover many truths in his fog. I wonder how Windgod managed to find this person?"
Daoempress had a good eyesight. Upon numerous calculations in her head, she realized that if she was pitted on agaist that man, she knew she would lose. Her instincts were telling her that never ever try to offend him or else it would be a total tragedy.
"I don't know, Your Highness." Windking shrugged his shoulders. It was true that he didn't know anything aside from Windgod choosing Jin Rou.
"Have you seen him in battle?" Daoempress was curious and asked.
Windking found that Daoempress was quite interested in the other party. Nevertheless, it wasn't his turn to be nosy and just answered, "Yes. During our trip to Overlord's Nest. He killed Mortheus in the process."
"Mortheus was killed?" Daoempress revealed a surprised expression for the first time. She knew very well how powerful that overlord was. After all, she fought it in the past and nearly lost her life. Fortunately, Windgod came on time and saved her from death.
But even with Windgod, they had to experience a bitter fight against the overlord just to have an opportunity to escape. If Mortheus could be described as one word, it would be nightmare.
"Yes. It wasn't even a fight. The overlord was merely a fish on the chopping board and the Young Master was the butcher." Windking recalled the memory which made his blood turn cold. It was truly a fortune that they didn't offend Jin Rou.
"Why were you there in the first place?" Daoempress asked, "To seek for that woman's assistance?"
"This..." Windking was awkward as he was found out immediately, "Yes, Your Highness. I just thought that she might be willing to help us in this impending crisis."
Daoempress took a deep breath. Although she was against this, she knew that Windking did this for the sake of the world, "So how did she respond?"
"She said yes and will give assistance." Windking said. He knew that there was an intense beef between Daoempress and the Imperial Queen. However, he didn't know what's the reason behind as he wasn't privy of personal matters of others.
"Even without her, we can make do about the situation. After all, your Young Master is here." Daoempress said with a cold tone, "But this is better."
Windking didn't know what the empress meant but refrained from asking. It wasn't his issue to poke his nose on.
After that talk with Windking, Jewelheart and Swordknight greeted the empress with all smiles on their faces, "Your Highness Empress, it's our pleasure to meet you here."
"I have heard of your legendary exploits, Swordknight." Daoempress nodded and returned the greeting, "Same as yours, Jewelheart. The clan will prosper under your leadership."
"My achievements cannot be compared to what you have done, Your Highness Empress." Swordknight was enjoying the praise as it came from a legendary immortal, albeit he wasn't showing it on his face, "You are the definition of the true beauty."
"Thank you for the praise, Your Highness Empress. However, our clan prosper because you have guided our ancestor to the right path." Jewelheart didn't bother lowering his voice so that everyone could hear it.
The crowd was flabbergasted. So it turned out that there was a connection between Daoempress and the Jewel Clan. No wonder why the declining clan suddenly had a sure rise and prospered in the recent years.
"That's nothing. I merely returned the favor of Rubyrose Ancestor so it isn't a big deal actually." Daoempress said with a bit of smile. Although she wasn't smiling brightly, this slight smile already gave everyone a wonderful feeling.
Rubyrose Ancestor was the matriarch of Jewel Clan. She single-handedly brought the clan to new heights, almost capable of contending against Wind Gate. Unfortunately, Windgod took their ambitions down the notch, making them decline for several hundred thousand of years. Nevertheless, the clan had deep foundation and roots in Wind Region thus Windgod couldn't uproot them.
However, the decline wasn't long enough as Daoempress helped the clan rise once again. It was a contrasting deed since Daoempress had a deep relationship with Windgod yet the former helped a tiger that wanted to question the lion's authority.
Up until now, no one had the slightest idea what happened between them in the past. Or to say, it was buried down and wasn't mentioned again.
