Chapter 786: Intent on Making a Big Deal Out of It

A burly middle-aged man descended from the sky, appearing abruptly in front of them as if by teleportation. With a single palm strike, a phantom image of a mountain shaped like five fingers materialized.
Boom!
Su Che collided headfirst with this mountain. Although his defensive barrier remained intact, it was forced to stop.
Then let it stop.
It seemed the enemy side had received reinforcements, but Su Che remained calm, floating serenely in the air.
“Brother He Yuan?”
Meng Yu was also greatly surprised and asked, “How did you get here?”
“I came to the Earthly Immortal Realm for some personal matters and happened to run into you,” replied the middle-aged man named He Yuan with a laugh. “Just a mere Xuanxian. Why are you so restricted in trying to capture him, Brother Meng Yu?”
“He’s the child of a good friend. I don’t want to hurt him; I just want to capture him alive,” Meng Yu explained with a smile.
Since it involved the Immortal Lord’s treasure trove, Meng Yu didn’t want anyone else to get involved and become a competitor. Thus, he preferred to reject his friends’ eager help rather than let them have any contact with Su Che.
However, Emperor He Yuan wasn’t easy to deceive. Though he spoke casually, dismissing Su Che as a mere Xuanxian, he had already realized that this “Xuanxian” was far from ordinary—his defensive barrier could even shatter the mountain-like force he generated, which was definitely beyond what a Xuanxian should be capable of.
So, He Yuan asked with a smile, “Whose child is this? I should know him, right?”
In the immortal realm, the total number of all emperors was only seven or eight thousand. Over countless years of existence, they almost all knew each other. Even if they hadn’t interacted, they should at least be familiar with the names of other emperors.
He Yuan’s casual question was quite reasonable and not excessive.
But Meng Yu was in trouble. He was worried that the lie he would fabricate next might be exposed by Su Che, yet he didn’t know how to explain it.
“Brother Meng Yu, is there something troubling you?” He Yuan asked skeptically, clearly realizing that a few lies wouldn’t suffice. An emperor at the Fifth Heaven level wasn’t someone so easy to deceive.
Just as Meng Yu didn’t know how to respond, he heard Su Che say slowly, “What’s there to hide? Meng Yu, it’s just that you’re too selfish, blinded by obsession!”
“Oh?”
He Yuan suddenly turned, staring at Su Che intently and asking in a deep voice, “Where did you get that from?”
Su Che replied slowly, “If I tell you the name of my father, it might shock you—he’s none other than the Evil Emperor!”
“The Evil Emperor Immortal Lord?”

He Yuan was instantly stunned and quickly asked, “Are you a descendant of the Evil Emperor Immortal Lord?”
Not only was he incredulous, but Meng Yu was also greatly surprised. He wondered to himself, “This kid is so bold and reckless—daring to misuse the name of the Evil Emperor Immortal Lord! It’s the Evil Emperor himself; how could he possibly spare you easily? Even any other immortal lord would be more lenient than him…”
Yet this surprise was just the beginning. Su Che’s next words made him consider dying on the spot.
Su Che continued calmly, “On this trip, my old master assigned me a task, which can be seen as a form of training. But this training is related to all of you, the Immortal Emperors. He Yuan, do you want to know the details?”
“Go ahead and tell me,” He Yuan said in a deep voice. Even if this kid was full of nonsense and not a word of truth, listening wouldn’t cost him anything.
“Shut up!” Meng Yu’s expression changed drastically as he roared, even showing signs of attacking again.
“Hm? Why be so impulsive, Brother Meng Yu?” He Yuan frowned, realizing that what had happened today was far from simple. Otherwise, the usually composed Meng Yu wouldn’t have lost his composure like this.
Su Che answered for him, “That’s because he wants to monopolize a huge opportunity—perhaps one that also belongs to you. That’s why he’s afraid I’ll reveal it.”
“What kind of opportunity?” He Yuan asked.
Meng Yu shouted fiercely, “Su Che, think carefully! Once this is revealed, what kind of situation will arise!”
“What’s there to fear?” Su Che smiled indifferently.
“Su Che?” He Yuan’s expression shifted. “Is that you, Su Che? The one who won against the three Immortal Emperors in the treasure gamble in the Void of Heavenly Fate? The one who was later captured by the Evil Emperor while auctioning the JadeJadeHuang Wish Fruit Wish Fruit in the Fenglin Territory?”
Obviously, he had heard about these events. His sources of information were far better than Meng Yu’s. For an Immortal Emperor, this was normal.
“I wasn’t captured by the Evil Emperor. My old master took me home, upgraded me from a Heavenly Immortal to a Mysterious Immortal, and then sent me out to carry out this task,” Su Che lied outright without even blushing.
Meng Yu’s heart sank. He was now certain that this Su Che, whether a descendant of the Evil Emperor Immortal Lord or not, must be someone the Immortal Lord was closely watching.
“It’s over. I’ll never have a chance at the Immortal Lord’s treasure…” Meng Yu’s face turned pale as he lamented inwardly.
A dream that had lasted tens of millions of years had finally ended.

At this moment, He Yuan quietly exposed the truth: “As far as I know, the true name of the Evil Emperor isn’t Su.”
“What’s it to you?”
Su Che said disdainfully without any shame, “How dare you comment on my family’s affairs?”
“You…”
Being scolded like this by a Xuanxian, He Yuan’s chest almost exploded, but he still hesitated due to the Evil Emperor’s reputation and didn’t dare act rashly. He thought to himself, “This kid is so arrogant and overconfident—there must be something he’s relying on.”
“What ‘you’?”
Su Che’s expression turned serious as he said, “Every word I say from now on will determine the fate of you all, the Immortal Emperors. Let me ask you—do you really want to listen?”
“Go ahead,” He Yuan said, suppressing his anger and trying to keep his tone calm.
Meng Yu let out a low sigh, his mood at its lowest. Under these circumstances, even if he had the ability to silence Su Che, the enraged He Yuan wouldn’t agree. It was clear this kid was extremely cunning.
Not only cunning, but downright ruthless—cruel to others and even to himself…
“It’s simple…”
Su Che took out a multicolored spiritual fruit and spoke casually, but his words rang like thunder in He Yuan’s ears: “In a while, the Immortal Lord’s Treasury will appear. I am the one in charge of this opportunity—the leader, the judge, the notary… holding multiple roles. Can you understand?”
“What?”
He Yuan trembled and exclaimed in shock, “The Immortal Lord’s Treasury? Are you sure it’s that?”
“That’s right.”
Su Che nodded and stuffed the last piece of fruit into his mouth. “The treasury left behind by the long-dead Primitive Immortal Lord.”
He Yuan’s eyes blazed as he turned to Meng Yu, almost demanding an answer, “Brother Meng Yu, what do you think? Is this true?”
Meng Yu shook his head silently, his expression gloomy. Such an expression was the best answer.
Lao He asked in astonishment from the Immortal Prison, “Master, did you really say it? What are you trying to do?”
“I want to make a big deal out of this. I want to toy with all those Immortal Emperors in the Immortal Realm. Because I have the right to do so!”
Su Che seemed truly possessed by madness as he thought to himself, “Damn that Immortal Lord’s Treasury! I don’t care at all. Back in the mortal world, a mere Yuan Ying like me could destroy the Spirit Realm. Now, with my Xuanxian cultivation, I can stir up chaos throughout the entire Immortal Realm. What am I afraid of? They should be the ones afraid of me!”
“Alright, alright.”

Lao He scratched his head and said, “Since you really don’t care about the Immortal Lord’s Treasury, then it doesn’t matter.”
“As I’ve said before, what’s meant to be mine will be mine, no matter how I play around with it—it’ll still be mine.” Su Che was firm in his belief. “And I’m sure this is the best way to handle things. The more we hide it, the more troubles we’ll face, endless and annoying ones.”
At that moment, He Yuan was still pressing Meng Yu: “So, Brother Meng Yu wants to keep all the benefits for himself, which is why you’ve been chasing after him, right?”
Meng Yu remained silent. In such a situation, any explanation was useless. In fact, he indeed intended to monopolize the Immortal Lord’s Treasury.
“The Immortal Lord’s Treasury!”
Suddenly, Su Che shouted to the sky, “Anyone interested in the Immortal Lord’s Treasury? Come register with me within ten years!”
Boom!
A terrifying sound wave erupted, spreading over countless miles in an instant. The event happened so suddenly that neither He Yuan nor Meng Yu had time to stop it.
“The Immortal Lord’s Treasury…”
The strange sound wave had unimaginable penetration power, seemingly capable of breaking through space and reaching directly the Cloud Immortal Realm.
Su Che had consumed three Heavenly Sound Fruits before. Through the third one, he had gained the Witch Clan’s transformation ability, while the second one had also granted him some understanding of the fundamental power of sound.
Although it couldn’t be as powerful as the Heavenly Sound, this shout still carried a very distinct sense of fundamental power, capable of creating a resonance effect between heaven and earth.
Regardless of whether it could truly reach the lofty Cloud Immortal Realm, it could definitely travel hundreds of thousands of miles across the land here and be heard by the true immortals passing by or cultivating in hidden caves.
The secret of the Immortal Lord’s Treasury was surely no longer safe!
In the Cloud Immortal Realm, the Evil Emperor Immortal Lord, the Holy Mother Immortal Lord, the Primordial Immortal Lord, and two other immortals couldn’t help but laugh.
The Holy Mother smiled and said, “Evil Emperor, is this child really your grandson?”
“I hope so,” the Evil Emperor snorted. “But this kid’s way of doing things has a bit of an evil vibe to it—quite to my liking.”
“Very well!”
The Holy Mother Immortal Lord waved gently. “Then let him do as he pleases.”
“The Immortal Lord’s Treasury…”
With her wave, Su Che’s cry echoed everywhere, resonating throughout the entire Cloud Immortal Realm. At least five thousand Immortal Emperors and countless Great Luo Golden Immortals heard it clearly.
It fulfilled Su Che’s wish—this matter really blew up!

On the Earthly Immortal Realm, after Su Che finished speaking, he smiled at He Yuan and said, “He Yuan, do you also want to stop me? Do you also want to keep it all for yourself? Do you also want to be foolish? Don’t you even think about it—can you really swallow such a great opportunity? Does your stomach have enough capacity? Can your shoulders bear such a weight?” He Yuan’s expression froze, and he stood there stunned.
