Immortal Path To Heaven Chapter 367

Ou Yangming walked as if he was on wings to the side of Her Highness the Princess's exclusive carriage. Wu Haohan immediately gestured for him to enter the carriage.

The young fellow hesitated and asked, “Brother Wu, isn't this quite inappropriate?”

'You had the audacity to barge into the princess's carriage that night, so why are you pretending to be innocent now?' Wu Haohan twitched his mouth and thought. Nonetheless, he would not say it out loud in front of Her Highness no matter what.

Wu Haohan cleared his throat and said softly, “You're the consort, so it's fine.”

Ou Yangming's eyes twitched, and he thought, 'Consort my *ss! I obviously don't want to go in because it's not fine.'

It was then that a voice appeared in his head.

“Brother Ou, since you can enter Bai s.h.i.+xue's carriage, why are you hesitant about entering mine?”

Ou Yangming was stunned, and he had a strange look on his face. 'Why does she sound so jealous…

Nevertheless, a normal man would more or less be vain. Ou Yangming sighed and entered the carriage.

Outside the carriage, Wu Haohan, who was constructing a reply in his head to persuade Ou Yangming to enter the carriage, was startled. He later cursed internally.

'Even if you're being pretentious, you should at least let me say something. Instead, you made yourself look like you were wronged while you were actually very eager. Y-you're.. Not being appreciative at all!'

Ou Yangming was greeted with the familiar eyes as soon as he entered the carriage.

This time, the eyes looked glad and cheerful.

“Uhm, Your Royal Highness.” Ou Yangming cupped his hands and sat.

“Do you still have to be so polite with me?” Wu Hanning nodded a little and asked.

Ou Yangming's face twitched, and he thought, 'Your Highness, when you mean to frighten someone, you'll frighten that person to death. Please be more reserved…

Instead of looking at his face, Wu Hanning noted, “I was quite worried just now/”

“What?” Ou Yangming was baffled.

“I was worried you wouldn't come in.”

“What… What's there to be worried about?”

Wu Hanning was abashed, so much so that her neck reddened. “You were chosen to be the consort by Father himself, yet you rather go into that vixen's carriage than join me here. What would the other people think?”

Ou Yangming was struck dumb. 'F*ck, what kind of reasoning is that…' “Your Highness, you really misunderstood it; I never agreed!” Ou Yangming expressed impatiently. Wu Hanning looked faintly at the young fellow, causing him to swallow his explanation. After all, how many people could ruthlessly ignore a beautiful lady like her?

Moreover, Wu Hanning had an incredibly good sense of propriety. Instead of forcing Ou Yangming to do anything, she quietly supported him aside. As such, even a heartless person could be completely indifferent toward her.

“Let the past be in the past,” the princess said after staring at Ou Yangming for a long time, then she informed him, “There's new intelligence from Changlong County, and I have the right to receive a part of it. It seems like things aren't going well.”

Ou Yangming's face darkened, and his heart tensed up. At the same time, he released vague killing intent.

“What's the intelligence about?”

Bai s.h.i.+xue could manage a ma.s.sive 2,000-person convoy in perfect order, but she was inferior to the imperial family—the co-owner of the world in terms of this.

Wu Hanning answered in a deep voice, “A great-ancestor-level half-spirit beast appeared in the Immense Forest Military Camp.” Ou Yangming scoffed. “Since a great-ancestor-level half-spirit beast appeared, I suppose it won't be long until that fella shows up, am I right?”

“That's only a part of the intelligence.” Wu Hanning nodded, then she continued seriously, “We're suspecting that half-spirit beast is only a distraction.” “What do you mean?” Ou Yangming furrowed his eyebrows. “The great-ancestor-level half-spirit beast attracted everyone's attention outside the immense forest; the targeted deployments were drawn to it too. However, just yesterday, plenty of ferocious beasts appeared around Changlong County's prefecture, many of which are half-spirit beasts,” Wu Hanning explained sternly, “The ferocious beasts appeared quite strangely because n.o.body noticed them in advance, and they charged into the villages and camps once they showed up. Not only did they cause an endless slaughter, but they also cut off the prefecture's paths to the other areas.”

Ou Yangming's eyelids twitched. “That's impossible. The prefecture is Changlong County's core and is far from the immense forest, so how did they get there without alarming anyone?”

It was worth noting that various ferocious beasts had left the immense forest.

If the enemy was an army of humans, perhaps they could fool their kind through some disguise, which would allow them to enter the central city easily; if a group of ferocious beasts was to do the same… Unless the Humans were blind, it was simply impossible.

Wu Hanning shook her head. “I didn't believe it too when I received the news, but Forefather told me that this upcoming disaster happens to be during the Interspatial Oscillation Period. It's a crisis, but it's also an opportunity. He warned me to be careful.”

Ou Yangming frowned and mumbled, “The Interspatial Oscillation Period—what's that?”

“It's a secret code used by the upper realm, and it refers to a unique phenomenon related to s.p.a.ce. Changes would occur from time to time in the s.p.a.ce, causing various unexplainable anomalies. This is a catastrophe for different races, but if used appropriately it can help the races to rise.” “What are the anomalies?” Ou Yangming questioned.

“Landslide, tsunami, earthquake—these are some examples of the anomalies.” Wu Hanning had a grave expression on her face. “They say that during a cosmic-level Interspatial Oscillation Period, the whole world might even be destroyed.

Ou Yangming gasped. He did not think Wu Hanning was saying frightening things to him.

Humans had limited power, but nature's power was endless.

Faced with that kind of power, humans could only pray or at most utilize part of it; it was impossible to resist it.

“Your Highness, are you saying that them showing up at the Humans' central city all of a sudden has something to do with the so-called Interspatial Oscillation Period?” Ou Yangming asked in a deep voice.

“That's probably the case, but it's almost because it's the only logical explanation.” Wu Hanning nodded and looked at Ou Yangming, but this time, the look in her eyes carried an entirely different meaning. “Brother Ou, if that's really the case, we must be careful.”

“Why?”

“Because the spirit beast that's about to descend is incredibly intelligent, and it's also proficient in the Interspatial Secret Technique. If we encounter a powerful spirit beast like that, even Forefather won't have a high chance of victory.” Ou Yangming's face changed. He was aware of how difficult it would be to deal with a spirit beast, or he would not have insisted on gathering 100 Supreme Great Ancestors.

Despite that, it was truly shocking to hear that the spirit beast was more formidable than Wu Yuanwei.

After all, according to his understanding of history, as strong as a spirit beast was, even if one broke free from the powerhouses from two counties, it would be subdued by the imperial family's greatest powerhouses in the end.

If the spirit beast was overly powerful this time, could 100 great ancestors defeat it together?

Seeing as Ou Yangming's expression kept changing, Wu Hanning expressed after some thought, “Brother Ou, you don't need to worry too much. Being obstructed by the world's power, an overly powerful spirit beast can't possibly enter our world. As long as we work together, we'll surely be able to kill it.” “Thanks.” Ou Yangming looked at her gratefully. He began to look more determined.

Before he went to the capital, he had decided to stop this disaster.

Now that he returned from the capital, his strength underwent an enormous change, and he was accompanied by 100 fearsome Supreme Great Ancestors.

If that was the case, why would he need to be worried and be afraid?

Ou Yangming turned around and was about to leave.

“Brother Ou, catch this,” Wu Hanning called out to him.

An interspatial bag was thrown to Ou Yangming. The young fellow was taken aback when he took a look inside. “Peculiar stones!” Peculiar stones that were gathered for generations by the imperial family were stored inside. The valuable treasures could not be bought with money, and they were on par with the ones from the Chaos Cave as they could be used to smith magic tools.

“Father asked me to bring them along in case I need it,” Wu Hanning explained.

Ou Yangming looked deeply at her and thanked her, “Thank you.”

He later pulled the curtain apart and left the carriage.

Inside the carriage, Wu Hanning was smiling through her eyes. 'Courageous, decisive, fearless, flexible, and the opposite of a pedant —this is the kind of man I admire.'

She placed her hand on her waist and sensed the desire of her longsword, which was in sync with her.

'A female can also accomplish goals…'

Far away, several Supreme Great Ancestors including Woo Lejia naturally walked together. They exchanged glances and smiled. 'Hehe, being young is great. That said, Brother Ou was too daring to have hooked up with…” He Xinfang chuckled. “I'm sorry-I meant that he was being too bold to have fawned over the Yi Pavilion's young pavilion master while Her Highness is present. Hehe, now that the princess is jealous, Brother Ou will suffer.”

The few men laughed. They were not ridiculing Ou Yangming at all but were jokingly teasing him.

After all, they were young once, thus they naturally understood the feeling of being young and carefree.

“Ah, from my perspective, Brother Ou has his way of dealing with things, so we need not worry.” Woo Lejia smiled with his eyes squinted. “A man has lofty ambitions and soaring goals, so how can he be constrained by a few weak young ladies?”.

The other men looked at each other and rolled their eyes.

'Weak young ladies?'

'Are you referring to Her Highness the Princess or the Yi Pavilion's young pavilion master?'

'If you were in his shoes, I'm afraid you'd be under strict control no matter which one of the two you encounter.'

Just as they conversed and were envying Ou Yangming, their faces changed abruptly. They saw Ou Yangming hurrying out of Her Highness's carriage, then he had a brief discussion with Bai s.h.i.+xue. Following that, the convoy began to travel at a completely different speed. A tense atmosphere filled the air.

The Supreme Great Ancestors looked in the distance, and invisible fighting spirits began to brew in their hearts.
