Longevity: After Six Thousand Years, The Diary Was Exposed - Chapter 65 - Chapter 65 – That Big Like a Dairy Cow!

A clan elder from the Jiang family suddenly burst in, looking panicked.

This made several people glance at him curiously.

Everyone began speculating silently—at a time like this, who would dare to rush in unless something truly major had happened?

Jiang Wujie glanced at the visitor, his face darkening as his heart skipped a beat. He coldly asked, “What happened?”

The Jiang family elder hesitated for a moment, took a deep breath, then gritted his teeth and said, “Ancestor, something happened! Something major!”

“The Desolate Mountain Emperor Prison has been breached—someone’s broken in and rescued the three Emperors that were being held there!”

As soon as these words were spoken, it was like throwing a stone into a calm pond, creating huge ripples.

Everyone in the room immediately stood up, their breath shaking, clearly shocked.

The Desolate Mountain Emperor Prison had been attacked, and the Emperors who were imprisoned there had been rescued!

This was far more serious than the destruction of a small sect like the Jiujue Sect. If the higher-ups decided to blame them, they wouldn’t be able to handle it!

Furthermore, with events happening one after another at this sensitive time, how would the higher-ups view them?

Jiang Wujie clenched his fists, his face fluctuating with anger and uncertainty.

For the first time, he felt a sense of helplessness, as though he had lost control over the situation.

At this moment, the others’ gazes also focused on him.

A crimson orb floated up, and Lei Jue’s voice came from within, urgently asking, “What should we do now? It would be better if you didn’t mention it. Once you mentioned it, something bad happened with the Emperor Prison!”

Jiang Wujie shot him a cold glare and barked, “Shut up! At this point, all we can do is wait for the Heavenly Venerable to intervene!”

“This has to be Ye Xi. No one else has that kind of capability!”

As he spoke, Jiang Wujie suddenly had a flash of insight.

This entire situation… might have been part of Ye Xi’s plan all along.

Jiang Wujie’s face darkened as he muttered to himself, “The incident at Cangwu Mountain, Ye Xi lured out the Heavenly Punishment Venerable, used the Forbidden Dao Stone to neutralize the suppression of the Evil Eye, and heavily injured the Venerable.”

“And now…”

“He seized the opportunity when the Venerable sent eight Dao Slayers, infiltrated the Emperor Prison, and rescued the imprisoned Emperors!”

As his words fell, the entire cave was silent.

A heavy atmosphere hung over the crowd, like a thick layer of dark clouds weighing on their hearts.

Many even had a thought…

Ye Xi was the one truly in control of the entire situation, using the Liyue Immortal Dynasty and Jade Pool Holy Land to tie them down.

He had infiltrated the Desolate Mountain Emperor Prison alone to rescue the prisoners.

They had thought they were in the advantageous position with the support of the Venerable, but now they realized it was all just a fantasy.

Lei Jue’s soul hid inside the orb and suddenly spoke, “You said we can’t win over the Immortal Emperor… what about trying to recruit Ye Xi instead?”

“…”

The hall fell silent again, with no one responding.

However, many people’s minds were now working quickly, considering whether this was a viable plan.

Many present hadn’t originally joined forces willingly.

It was only after continuous infiltration and persuasion over time that they had formed an alliance of convenience.

They had suffered great losses in their encounters with Ye Xi. If they couldn’t defeat him, could they at least try to recruit him?

Soon, someone voiced their agreement, speaking in a low voice, “I think Brother Lei’s idea is worth considering…”

“The wisdom and strategies Ye Xi has displayed are clearly superior, uh, I mean, he could be recruited!”

Others quickly nodded in agreement.

Jiang Wujie’s face darkened, and he felt a surge of dissatisfaction in his heart. Although no one had said anything directly, it was clear they were losing faith in his leadership!

Were they questioning his ability to control the situation? Foolish!

But now that everyone had made up their minds, he could only grit his teeth and respond.

“Fine, we’ll try it at an appropriate time.”

“After all, we’re aiming for something big here, and we’ll need more talented people on our side!”

Jiang Wujie paused for a moment before continuing, “However, through this incident, we must also consider whether there is a problem within our own ranks.”

“Desolate Mountain Emperor Prison is secure, how did Ye Xi discover it?”

Hearing this, many people’s faces changed.

A traitor?

If there really was a traitor among them, that would be a serious problem. They wouldn’t even have the slightest advantage of hiding in the shadows anymore.

Jiang Wujie’s gaze turned icy cold as he said, “This matter must be thoroughly investigated. If anyone’s subordinates are found to have harbored a spy, I will not let them off lightly!”

He wasn’t suspecting the people present.

Rather, he suspected it might be someone among their clansmen or subordinates. After all, for those gathered here, there was already no turning back. Betrayal was impossible.

“Right now, the Heaven Punishment Venerable is injured…”

Lei Jue’s voice suddenly echoed from within the crimson pearl, asking, “Do you think the other Venerables will make a move? If they do, everything could be easily resolved!”

Jiang Wujie’s expression shifted slightly at that, but he still shook his head.

He hesitated for a moment before saying, “Let’s wait. For now, we lay low, plan carefully, and strike later.”

“Next time, I will have my revenge!”

As Jiang Wujie spoke, he raised his hand and clenched his fist tightly, a stubborn glint flaring in his eyes.

“I’ll be off now.”

“Same here. There’s still a lot of cleanup to deal with.”

“Just call me when there’s news.”

Before he could even finish speaking, the others were already rising and taking their leave, each one cloaked in a hooded mantle, vanishing into the depths of the cave-heaven.

Jiang Wujie’s expression darkened again, his fists clenched tightly.

———

Liyue Immortal Dynasty.

Several days passed, and most of the former Jiujue Sect’s territory had already been absorbed.

After taking over the land and resources, the Immortal Dynasty’s overall strength experienced yet another significant leap. Over the past few days, countless major powers from Central Region had come to pay tribute, form alliances, or seek favor.

Of course, these were not matters that required Ye Qingge herself to personally handle.

Unless it was one of the rare, top-tier figures who came in person, it was all delegated to Prime Minister Gongsun Mu.

Thus, a battle that had shaken all of Central Region came to a close.

No one had expected this outcome.

That the Liyue Immortal Dynasty would emerge so utterly victorious—and that its domineering Empress had long since broken through to the Tribulation Crossing stage—had now become widely known.

And not only Ye Qingge—even Yuan Ruoyu and the Pei family had Great Emperors overseeing things.

Once again, the news stirred no small amount of commotion.

Since when did Great Emperors become so common? Weren’t they supposed to be as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns?

Still, a few people detected something off in all this.

Why had Ye Qingge and Yuan Ruoyu hidden their cultivation levels?

There had to be some secret behind it—something not meant for public eyes. It made people stop and wonder.

…

At this moment, within a mist-shrouded bathhouse…

Two delicate and flawless figures, their skin like the finest mutton-fat jade, were soaking in the pool, everything below the neck submerged beneath the water.

It was Ye Qingge and Qingdai.

After spending several days together, the female emperor of the Immortal Dynasty and the Demon Empreror of the Demon Domain had, surprisingly, hit it off.

It hadn’t even been long, and they were already bathing together.

Ye Qingge leaned against the edge of the bath, her eyes half-open. She glanced at Qingdai not far off, then lowered her gaze to look at herself.

And suddenly—even this ever-dominant female emperor felt a tinge of defeat.

Ye Qingge muttered inwardly: So big… this is ridiculous… like a full-grown dairy cow…

Of course, these were words she’d never say out loud.

After all, for beastkin who had taken human form, their true bodies were quite a private matter—not something they’d reveal lightly.

But Qingdai suddenly turned to her and asked, “What’s your relationship with the Immortal Emperor? Do you know where he is now?”

Ye Qingge was caught off guard. Though the two of them had gotten along surprisingly well these past few days, they still didn’t know much about each other’s origins or backgrounds.

She hadn’t expected such a direct question from Qingdai.

Still, there didn’t seem to be any need to hide it. After a brief pause, Ye Qingge calmly replied: “Same as us, really—a relationship where we bathe together often.”

“As for where he is now, I don’t know either.”

The proud female emperor of the Immortal Dynasty, bathing regularly with a man—what kind of relationship that implied was clear as day.

Qingdai furrowed her brows slightly. She hadn’t expected Ye Qingge to also be in the dark.

At that moment, Ye Qingge looked at her with a faint smirk and asked with interest: “And what about you? Why are you looking for him? What’s your relationship with him?”

Ye Qingge was genuinely curious. Lin Feng had never mentioned having any sort of history with a beastkin.

Hmph—especially not with this kind of beastkin…

Ye Qingge’s thoughts spun rapidly, and she mused to herself: There’s no way Qingdai helped out this time without some hidden agenda…
