A Millionfold Return: My Children Cultivate Immortality, I Become a God - Chapter 297

Chapter 297: The Bet

“Not bad, finally broke through to the Immortal Emperor Pinnacle.”

Wu Hao looked at the returning Wu Qilong with a satisfied expression. At this point, no one in the entire Upper Realm besides himself could harm Wu Qilong.

After all, the True Dragon Clan was inherently powerful in battle. Even ordinary True Dragons could overcome an opponent by surpassing just one minor realm. So although Wu Qilong was only at the Immortal Emperor Pinnacle, in a real fight, he possessed combat strength equivalent to half a step into a God-level being.

This was why Ten Thousand Dragons Valley was so confident, sending out two Late Stage Immortal Emperor True Dragons to deal with the Wu Family.

Besides the Five Great Holy Lands, hardly anyone could handle two Late Stage Immortal Emperor True Dragons.

“This is all thanks to the Master’s guidance. Without the Master’s help, I probably wouldn’t have broken through to the Immortal Emperor Pinnacle in my entire lifetime.”

Wu Qilong, feeling the changes within himself, couldn’t hide the excitement on his face and respectfully acknowledged Wu Hao.

But Wu Hao waved his hand and said,

“This is your destiny and what you deserve. But now, there are other matters that need your attention.”

As Wu Hao finished speaking, Wu Qilong still didn’t understand what he meant. Seconds later, he sensed two overwhelmingly powerful energies approaching from afar, and his expression grew extremely serious.

Before long, three figures appeared before them—it was the Heavenly Dragon Immortal Emperor and his companions.

At this moment, the Heavenly Dragon Immortal Emperor and the others hadn’t noticed Wu Hao and the others. Their eyes were fixed on Penglai Immortal Island, their expressions deeply grave.

They had conducted countless investigations along the way before finally discovering Penglai Immortal Island. Upon seeing it, the three Immortal Emperors vaguely sensed a faint pressure emanating from the island.

The three dragons exchanged glances and each saw astonishment in the others’ eyes.

“This island actually possesses an aura on the same level as Buzhou Mountain!”

The Golden Dragon Immortal Emperor’s face was filled with shock and disbelief.

It was well known that while Buzhou Mountain existed in the Upper Realm, its space was effectively the size of an entire Upper Realm. In that sense, Buzhou Mountain could be regarded as a second Upper Realm itself.

But Penglai Immortal Island was completely unheard of; they had never heard of it before. This greatly increased the perceived danger of the island in their minds.

“Why don’t we return first and inform the Valley Master? We should leave the decision on how to handle this to him.”

The Azure Dragon Immortal Emperor looked toward the Golden Dragon Immortal Emperor and the Heavenly Dragon Immortal Emperor and spoke slowly, a hint of caution creeping into his gaze as he stared at Penglai Immortal Island.

After all, the Wu Family had been utterly unknown throughout the entire Upper Realm until recently, yet now they had emerged so boldly onto the stage. On top of that, the Wu Family was based within such a terrifying region, which caused the Azure Dragon Immortal Emperor to instinctively feel hesitant.

The Golden Dragon Immortal Emperor and the Heavenly Dragon Immortal Emperor were not fools; they naturally understood that what the Azure Dragon Immortal Emperor suggested was the best course of action.

As the Golden Dragon Immortal Emperor and the Heavenly Dragon Immortal Emperor nodded in agreement, the three dragons immediately prepared to turn and return directly to Buzhou Mountain. However, the moment they turned, their pupils suddenly contracted. Behind them—at a time unknown to them—Wu Hao and Wu Qilong had already blocked their escape route.

“Bad, retreat!”

Without a second thought, the Azure Dragon Immortal Emperor gave the order and intended to teleport off in another direction. The Golden Dragon Immortal Emperor and the Heavenly Dragon Immortal Emperor did the same.

The fact that the others could silently appear behind them meant that if they intended to kill them, they wouldn’t even have a chance to resist. Under such circumstances, fleeing was the wisest choice.

But unfortunately, if it were only Wu Qilong, they might have actually gotten away. Now that Wu Hao was present, there was no way they could escape.

With just a wave of his hand, the space around them suddenly shifted dramatically the next second. The three dragons—the Azure Dragon Immortal Emperor, the Golden Dragon Immortal Emperor, and the Heavenly Dragon Immortal Emperor—were immediately drawn into Wu Hao’s Inner World.

Seeing this, the three dragons felt nothing but terror deep in their hearts.

Without any chance to resist, they were forcibly pulled into Wu Hao’s Inner World. This clearly showed that Wu Hao’s power was absolutely stronger than theirs—perhaps even surpassing the Valley Master.

Now trapped inside Wu Hao’s Inner World, even if they wanted to flee, they couldn’t. So they simply stopped, turned to face Wu Hao, and respectfully said,

“Senior, we were only passing through. We don’t understand why you have brought us here.”

Hearing the Azure Dragon Immortal Emperor’s words, the Golden Dragon Immortal Emperor and the Heavenly Dragon Immortal Emperor quickly added,

“Senior, we were merely passing through. If we inadvertently offended you in any way, please forgive us.”

“Yes, yes, please excuse us, Senior.”

The three of them now only hoped that Wu Hao would let them go, since they hadn’t yet attacked the Wu Family. Although they had entertained the thought, they hadn’t actually taken action—surely this wasn’t a crime punishable by death.

Wu Hao’s lips curled into a cold smile as he heard their words. Did they really think he was unaware of their true intentions?

Their aggressive attitude suggested these were True Dragons sent for revenge. According to what he had heard from Lu Ren, the True Dragon Clan held grudges deeply, and given how boldly he had enslaved nine True Dragons at the Immortal Venerable Pinnacle, this had to be the formidable force the True Dragon Clan had dispatched.

What surprised Wu Hao even more was that the True Dragon Clan had casually sent two Late Stage Immortal Emperors. Across the entire Upper Realm, there were perhaps only twenty such Late Stage Immortal Emperor-level powers—yet the True Dragon Clan had sent two outright. This clearly demonstrated their strength was not to be underestimated.

“Enough nonsense. I know your purpose: it’s nothing more than to wipe out the Wu Family. Now, I’m giving you a chance. If you can defeat him, I will let you leave here alive.”

Wu Hao spoke with a calm expression, clearly unconcerned about the three True Dragons before him. The reason he hadn’t slain them was that from today onward, he wanted to establish a relationship between the True Dragon Clan and the Wu Family, securing mounts for the Wu Family.

Upon hearing Wu Hao’s words, a flicker of joy appeared on the faces of the Azure Dragon Immortal Emperor and the others, but that smile quickly vanished as Wu Hao continued.

“However, if you lose, from today onward, you will become the exclusive mounts of my Wu Family.”

At these words, the expressions of the three Azure Dragon Immortal Emperors turned extremely unpleasant. After all, they were all powerful Immortal Emperors—never before had they been subjected to such humiliation. Being forced to become mounts? They would rather be killed.

But it was clearly not the time or place for them to make that choice. For now, their only option was to fight Wu Qilong, and whether they could win was no longer theirs to decide.

When they saw Wu Qilong, the three Azure Dragon Immortal Emperors’ faces grew even more disgruntled.

“You are also a True Dragon. Why have you fallen so low as to become a mount for the Human Clan?”
