Return of the Immortal Emperor Daddy

Chapter 484 - 485: Could It Be That I Am Too Stupid? [First Update, Please Subscribe]

The Peach Blossom Sauce had been stolen, making it impossible to use it to track the trail of the "Immortal." This news spread like wildfire, causing a massive uproar in the Underground World.

Some with inside information claimed that when the Immortal Seeker guards of Lv’s Spring and Autumn gave chase, they couldn’t catch the perpetrators or retrieve the sauce because their opponents had ties to Ghost Valley. As this news circulated, it stirred a mix of envy, disappointment, anger, and regret. The expressions of everyone who heard it changed, whether they had already arrived at the Lv’s Spring and Autumn near Peach Blossom Spring or were still on their way.

Those who had already reached their destination marched to Lv’s Spring and Autumn to demand an explanation. "I traveled thousands of miles to get here, and now you tell me the item was stolen? What kind of joke is this? I’ve already dropped my pants, and this is what I get to see?"

Those who had yet to arrive simply quickened their pace, eager to find out exactly what had happened.

Wu Tian, meanwhile, learned of the situation from Yin Fengxue while he was still in the Surface World. Upon hearing the news, Wu Tian didn’t show much of a reaction. To him, the Peach Blossom Sauce was a trivial matter; he could whip up a batch in an instant with his legendary kitchenware. However, he also gradually heard from Yin Fengxue that the incident was related to Ghost Valley, and this caught his attention.

Wu Fa was taken from me. Wu Wo abandoned his own father and ran off to who knows where. And now, the Peach Blossom Sauce has been stolen. The more I think about it, the more Ghost Valley gets on my nerves. An eyesore like that... I think I’ll just get rid of them.

After a few relaxing days in the Surface World, Wu Tian returned to the Underground World with Qin Yuhan and the others. The young girl had brought some homework back with her and was now starting to prepare for her middle school entrance exams.

Upon their return to Peach Blossom Spring, they found it had been transformed. Yin Fengxue had relocated the Heavenly Demon Palace there, and Liu Tianji and his people had also settled in, turning the area into a scene of widespread construction.

Wu Tian headed straight for Lv’s Spring and Autumn.

In the backyard of the Lv’s Spring and Autumn branch closest to Peach Blossom Spring, Lv Hengliang looked haggard. His eyes were bloodshot, his hair was a mess, and his clothes were in disarray. He simply hadn’t had a moment to pull himself together. Before him stood the Immortal Seeker guards under his command. For the past few days, Lv Hengliang hadn’t slept, too consumed by worry to even wash his face. He looked utterly hopeless.

Tomorrow is the restaurant’s dish auction. But without the Peach Blossom Sauce, what good dishes can we possibly offer? The people who came specifically for the Peach Blossom Sauce dishes will surely be furious.

The backyard of Lv’s Spring and Autumn was depressingly lifeless. Lv Hengliang had also been trying to find Ghost Valley’s trail these past few days, but the surface branch had already been annihilated. As for the other branch hidden in the Underground World, it was nowhere to be found.

What can I do?

Overwhelmed by the bleakness of his situation, Lv Hengliang fell to his knees, crying out, "It’s over! I’m finished! The Lv family will be ruined by me alone! This loss of credibility... it’s a catastrophic blow to our family! It’s all over... everything is over."

"Lord," the surrounding Immortal Seekers said in shock, kneeling one by one. Some began to sob as well.

The Twelve Floors of the Lv Establishment each had its own Master. They weren’t competitors but were instead deeply codependent. If one fell, all of them could be finished. If the Lv family was gone, where would these Immortal Seekers go? They would become rootless and homeless.

Suddenly, one of the kneeling guards slowly lifted his head. His mouth fell open in astonishment, and he pointed behind Lv Hengliang, too stunned to speak. The other guards also looked up and were equally astounded.

At some unknown point, a thick Blood Mist had begun to swirl silently behind Lv Hengliang.

"That... is..." one of the bolder Immortal Seekers finally stammered.

Seeing the strange looks on his guards’ faces as they stared behind him, Lv Hengliang quickly turned around. He instantly recognized the familiar Blood Mist and cried out desperately, "Divine... Divine One, you’ve finally come!"

As long as the Divine One appears again, then I... I might have a chance to fix everything.

From within the Blood Mist, Wu Tian’s voice emerged, calm and even. "I already know about the theft of the Peach Blossom Sauce. You can all stand. There’s no need to kneel."

Stand? Lv Hengliang was still hesitant. "This is my fault," he said. "Are you telling us to stand because you plan to..."

The profits from the Peach Blossom Sauce auction were supposed to be split seventy-thirty. Lv’s Spring and Autumn takes three parts, and the Divine One in the Blood Mist gets seven. Now that the sauce is gone, he must be furious!

"Don’t overthink it. I don’t blame you," Wu Tian said from the mist.

If the Peach Blossom Sauce hadn’t been stolen, Wu Tian wouldn’t have found a lead on the whereabouts of the longitudinal faction of Ghost Valley.

Before the awestruck gazes of Lv Hengliang and his men, Wu Tian flickered his finger. With a thought, the Beast God Pot emerged from his Nine Dragon Ring. He pointed, and the pot shot out of the Blood Mist.

THUD. It landed heavily on the ground. The strange aura emanating from the Beast God Pot sent a tremor through everyone present.

"This is the Beast God Pot. Tomorrow, you will auction it and the dishes made with it."

"I will return after the auction is over."

As his voice faded, the Blood Mist surged and then vanished completely, leaving no trace. Even if it had lingered, Lv Hengliang and the others wouldn’t have been able to see anything inside it.

The crowd stared blankly at the Beast God Pot.

Lv Hengliang was the first to react, realizing that the pot before him was the legendary kitchenware. Its aura was extraordinary, completely different from Yuan Force. Even he had to admit that this Beast God Pot must be an item of the "Immortals," holding their secrets within. But for Lv’s Spring and Autumn, seeking Immortals was never the priority. Commerce was their foundation.

"Everyone, don’t just stand there! Hurry and use this Beast God Pot to prepare dishes!" Lv Hengliang immediately shouted. "Let’s try to create several delicious dishes before dawn!"

"Yes!"

"Don’t worry, Lord!"

The nightmare for Lv’s Spring and Autumn was finally over.

After leaving, Wu Tian returned to Peach Blossom Spring.

Is the matter resolved? No! It isn’t!

The stolen Peach Blossom Sauce was something Wu Tian had personally brewed from peach blossoms using his Spiritual Power. This meant the sauce contained a trace of his own Spiritual Power. If Wu Tian wanted to know its location, he most certainly could. He decided to wait until the legendary kitchenware made a big name for itself at the auction tomorrow. Then, he would pay a little visit. He was eager to see just where this longitudinal faction of Ghost Valley was hiding in the Underground World.

In the quiet of the night, as Wu Tian returned to No Heaven Villa, an old man in a dark corner of the Underground World stared at the Peach Blossom Sauce in his palm and roared in frustration, "Why?! I’ve studied it for days, yet I can’t find a single clue about the Immortals in this Peach Blossom Sauce! Is this sauce completely unrelated to the Immortals, or am I simply too foolish?"
