The Hero of a Cool Novel? I, the Villain, Will Kill You!

15: The furious Beihan Immortal Lord was completely humiliated.”Ye Changsheng, you Rebellious Disciple!”

”I ordered you to take the ransom to rescue your Sixth Prince!”

”You actually dared to secretly embezzle the ransom, causing you and your Sixth Prince to be captured and detained by the Primordial Emperor Son!”

”Truly selfish, utterly foolish! Incapable of success, and prone to failure!”

”I have raised you all for many years, only to raise a bunch of ungrateful ingrates!”

Ye Langtian was furious, looking in the direction of the Primordial Beginning Immortal Domain.

He wished he could rush over now and throw his eldest son, Ye Changsheng, and his sixth son, Ye Chen, into a cesspit to vent his anger.

The Immortal Official who had rushed to report couldn’t help but shrink his neck, his heart filled with fear, afraid that the Immortal Lord would vent his anger on him.

He tremblingly clasped his fists: ”Immortal Lord, what should we do now? Do we really have to follow the Primordial Emperor Son’s demands and have Your Majesty personally go to ransom them?”

”Go, why wouldn’t I go! Do you want me and the Heavenly Emperor to go to war directly?”

”Do you think the Northern Cold Immortal Region has the strength to rival the Primordial Beginning Immortal Domain?” Ye Langtian glared at the Immortal Official and flicked his sleeves, departing.

He needed to go to the Northern Cold Immortal Court’s national treasury to see if there were enough High Grade Immortal Artifacts and High Grade Immortal Crystals to ransom them.

It wasn’t that he was unwilling to sacrifice those two Rebellious Disciples and go to war with the Heavenly Court, but rather that the Primordial Beginning Immortal Domain’s strength was too great, so great that the Northern Cold Immortal Region could only look up to it.

Although the other four Immortal Domains each had an Immortal Court overlord, they all shared a common understanding: avoid offending the central Primordial Beginning Immortal Domain if possible.

Because the Heavenly Emperor controlled the Immortal Realm’s Heavenly Dao, it was truly the official power of the Immortal Realm; they were like four regional lords, establishing their own domains.

”Alas!”

The Immortal Official sighed seeing the Immortal Lord leave, and hurriedly followed behind.

Not long after... Ye Langtian had already returned to the Northern Cold Imperial Capital by shrinking the ground into inches, and he directly returned to the imperial palace, heading to the national treasury.

The Northern Cold national treasury had specialized powerful cultivators guarding it, though their cultivation was weaker than the Immortal Lord’s, only at the Quasi Immortal Emperor Realm.

In front of the national treasury, shrouded in Chaos mist, an old man in splendid robes sat under a towering ancient tree, sipping wine.

Suddenly.

He saw Ye Langtian approaching from afar, first stunneding for a moment, then quickly rising to greet him, ”Your Majesty the Immortal Lord, why have you come to the national treasury?”

”Old Xing, I am here, of course, for those useless beasts!”

Ye Langtian arrived in front of the national treasury, smiling bitterly.

Xing Shiyuan’s cloudy eyes shifted, his thoughts racing, deducing the fate of Ye Changsheng and Ye Chen, and he sighed faintly:

”Your Majesty, the First Prince already came yesterday to take two High Grade Immortal Artifacts and one hundred million High Grade Immortal Crystals!”

”Currently, the national treasury only has two High Grade Immortal Artifacts and one point five billion High Grade Immortal Crystals left.”

”If you wish to rescue the First Prince and the Sixth Prince, we are still short three High Grade Immortal Artifacts!”

Xing Shiyuan lamented repeatedly; the national treasury’s resource income in Northern Cold was worse each year.

Ultimately, many resources were withheld and kept by the six princes and their maternal clans under various pretexts.

He had reported this to Ye Langtian many times.

But Ye Langtian had never taken it seriously, and now, needing to ransom the First Prince and Sixth Prince, the lack of High Grade Immortal Artifacts was incredibly awkward.

”This...” Ye Langtian was speechless; the vast Northern Cold national treasury couldn’t gather five High Grade Immortal Artifacts?

He already understood what was happening; most likely, those useless sons had taken them away under various excuses again.

”Old Xing, do you have any...” Ye Langtian’s words were cut short.
