A Millionfold Return: My Children Cultivate Immortality, I Become a God - Chapter 256

Chapter 256 Leaving First as a Courtesy

Meanwhile, outside the Azure Thunder Secret Realm, the Elders of the major sects had been waiting for quite some time.

As beams of light shot out from the spatial gate of the Azure Thunder Secret Realm, the immortals who had previously entered the realm began emerging one after another.

After Wu Li and Nangong Wan appeared, they exchanged a glance, both knowing that the most important thing now was to leave this place as quickly as possible. After all, it wouldn’t be long before the attending sects realized their disciples hadn’t come out—and then trouble would inevitably come looking for them.

Especially the Ten Thousand Thunder Sect. They certainly didn’t yet have the strength to confront them.

With that thought, Wu Li led Nangong Wan swiftly disappearing into the crowd.

At that moment, an Elder at the peak Immortal Venerable level from the Ten Thousand Thunder Sect wore a grave expression and said somewhat bewilderedly,

“Strange, where is the Holy Son? By all accounts, the Holy Son should have broken through to Immortal King upon exiting the Azure Thunder Secret Realm. Why has he still not appeared after so long?”

“Old Xu, is your Holy Son from Ten Thousand Thunder Sect in the same situation? I thought it was only our Holy Son from the Anbei Sect who hadn’t appeared yet,” another Elder from the Anbei Sect stepped forward, his face showing some curiosity.

Before they could react further, Elders from other sects began speaking one after another around them.

“Strange, why hasn’t the Holy Son of Beiri Sect emerged yet?”

“Everyone, have you seen my Qianiao Sect Holy Son, Wu Yu? If so, please notify us immediately.”

Only then did the Elders from the Ten Thousand Thunder Sect and others finally realize something was wrong, their expressions turning extremely sour.

At that moment, a terrifying figure appeared in the sky above the Azure Thunder Secret Realm, roaring angrily,

“Who dared lay hands on my son? They deserve to die ten thousand deaths!”

It was none other than Wen Tianren’s father, Wen Juren, Sect Master of the Ten Thousand Thunder Sect.

Seeing this, the Elders of the Ten Thousand Thunder Sect were visibly panicked. One of them quickly approached Wen Juren, bowed his head, and said, “Sect Master.”

“Who exactly dared attack the Holy Son? The Holy Son’s Soul Lamp has been extinguished!” Wen Juren’s eyes locked onto the Elder who had reached the peak Immortal Venerable level, his anger barely contained on his face.

The Elder hurriedly replied, “Sect Master, if the Holy Son is in trouble, then it must have happened inside the Azure Thunder Secret Realm. Moreover, none of our sect’s disciples have emerged after such a long time—they must have met with misfortune.”

“Damn it! No one who entered the Azure Thunder Secret Realm today is allowed to leave this place. I will personally find the one who killed my son before allowing any of you to go. Rest assured, I won’t act recklessly—I only need your cooperation. In return, I am willing to reward each of you with a top-grade Immortal Crystal!”

Wen Juren was not the type to bully others just because of his status. So, although the immortals present looked displeased when they heard his words, they did not object.

After all, the Ten Thousand Thunder Sect was a force they dared not offend, and a top-grade Immortal Crystal was a highly valuable reward even for those at the Great Luo Golden Immortal level.

“But Sect Master, many have already left earlier,” Elder Xu said with a somewhat grim expression.

Hearing this, Wen Juren’s face darkened. Within the next second, his divine consciousness swept out wildly in all directions. In an instant, the space of hundreds of nearby small domains was brought under his scrutiny.

With the power of an Immortal Emperor, finding immortals who had left from here was incredibly easy. It didn’t take long before Wen Juren located every single immortal who had left.

With just a thought, he called them back.

These immortals hadn’t yet realized what was going on when they heard Wen Juren’s orders. Though some looked disgruntled, they said nothing—after all, it wasn’t much trouble for them.

But after gathering everyone back, Wen Juren sensed something else, and his expression grew even darker.

“This is bad. There are still some who slipped through!”

What Wen Juren referred to were Wu Li and Nangong Wan. After leaving the Azure Thunder Secret Realm, Wu Li and Nangong Wan used methods to erase all traces of their presence, making it impossible for Wen Juren to find them quickly—but only for a limited time.

As soon as Wen Juren realized this, he immediately pursued after them.

Meanwhile, Wu Li and Nangong Wan sensed something was wrong, and their hearts grew heavy.

“Not good, did they sense us?”

Wu Li’s expression was extremely unpleasant, but Nangong Wan said nothing. Instead, she looked at Wu Li, wanting to know how he planned to escape from the grip of an Immortal Emperor-level powerhouse in this situation.

After thinking for a long time, Wu Li couldn’t help but sigh and then spoke to Nangong Wan.

“Alright, let’s stop moving.”

Nangong Wan: ???

Hearing Wu Li’s words, disbelief filled Nangong Wan’s face. Wasn’t the logical move to try and escape at all costs in a situation like this? Why would they stop?

But after seeing Wu Li’s face remain calm and unruffled, Nangong Wan could only choose to trust him. After all, with her strength, she couldn’t possibly get away alone.

Although Wen Tianren wasn’t the one she had personally taken down, even if she revealed that, Wen Juren would never believe it. So she had no choice but to trust Wu Li. If he was choosing to stop, it must be because he had his own plan.

After Wu Li and Nangong Wan stopped moving, three breaths later, a figure appeared in front of them—it was Wen Juren, who had rushed over.

At this moment, anger was etched across Wen Juren’s face because when he saw Wu Li, he sensed faint traces of his son’s aura emanating from him. Although Wu Li had deliberately concealed it, Wen Juren was a Late Stage Immortal Emperor; completely hiding from him was next to impossible.

“You brat! How dare you lay hands on my son? You’re asking for death!”

With that, Wen Juren stretched out his hand, preparing to directly probe Wu Li’s soul to uncover exactly what had happened.

At that moment, Wu Li, who had maintained an expression of calm the whole time, finally spoke.

“Senior, if you lay a hand on me, you will regret it!”

Wen Juren was stunned when he heard Wu Li’s words. He scrutinized Wu Li’s face carefully—there wasn’t the slightest hint of fear despite facing an Immortal Emperor. Instead, there was a composed confidence.

In this situation, only two possibilities existed: either Wu Li was a fool who didn’t understand the power of an Immortal Emperor, or Wu Li had a powerful background so formidable that even Wen Juren himself, a Late Stage Immortal Emperor, had to tread carefully.

But soon, Wen Juren couldn’t hold back any longer. His eyes reddened with anger as he said fiercely.

“I don’t care where you come from. Since you dare lay a hand on my son, then prepare to die. Even the people of the Five Great Holy Lands wouldn’t dare kill my offspring! You’d better accept your death obediently!”

With that, Wen Juren launched another attack. Seeing this, Wu Li sighed helplessly, while Nangong Wan’s heart was gripped with anxiety, unable to calm herself.

“Great Grandfather, aren’t you going to make a move?”
