A Golden Immortal descending to the lower world, this is indeed a major event!
Moreover, the aura exuded by that Golden Immortal was much more powerful than Yanqing’s, likely indicating the cultivation of a late-stage Golden Immortal. If the newcomer were an enemy, their six early-stage Golden Immortals combined would have a hard time defeating him.
“It should be a predecessor from our Kunlun Realm. Currently, there are no treasures in the Kunlun Realm that could alarm the Immortal World. Outsiders wouldn’t come down for no reason,” Elder Qingfeng speculated.
“That’s a relief!” Yanqing quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
Monkey Kongxu rolled his eyes, “Who said that just because they’re from the Kunlun Realm, they’re necessarily friends? It’s also possible that they’re an enemy!”
Yanqing’s expression stiffened, indeed!
He regretted acting rashly and provoking the newcomer with his own aura. If the newcomer were an enemy, he wouldn’t be able to withstand the challenge.
“Mingyue, whether they are friend or foe is still unknown. You must be ready to activate the formation at any time!” Yanqing said.
Elder Qingfeng snorted, “I thought you were very tough? Scared now?”
Yanqing ignored Elder Qingfeng, concentrating as he stared at the distant sky, “Here they come!”
The arrival was a middle-aged man dressed in a golden brocade robe, with narrow eyes and a sharp gaze. He stopped more than ten miles away, sizing up everyone.
After examining them, the middle-aged man looked astonished, then with a cupped fist, he smiled and said, “Fellow Daoists, is this not the Kunlun Realm?”
The middle-aged man clearly sensed that, whether it was nature’s spiritual energy or the stability of the space, both were almost the same as the Immortal World.
Could it be that he had found a fake Ascend to Immortal Platform?
Otherwise, why would there be a spread of Immortal Qi? Why would so many Golden Immortals appear?
Elder Qingfeng and the others exchanged glances. How should they answer?
It was difficult to respond not knowing whether the person was friend or foe.
If he were an enemy, they would definitely say this wasn’t the Kunlun Realm, and would tell him to go back where he came from.
If not an enemy, of course they would tell him the truth.
After a moment of thought, Elder Qingfeng cupped his fists, “May I ask how the honorable Daoist is addressed?”
The middle-aged man returned the gesture, “Artifact Sect, Zhuo Canghai!” Artifact Sect? Li Cheng subtly raised an eyebrow. Could it be such a coincidence? “So it turns out to be a predecessor from the Artifact Sect. Then you’ve come to the right place, this here is the Kunlun Realm, and the exit is there!” Yanqing let out a breath of relief and smiled.
The middle-aged man was slightly stunned, “Exit?”
Suddenly, as if he had realized something, he exclaimed in surprise, “Could it be that this is an Ancient Ruins?”
Yanqing smiled without speaking, effectively confirming it.
Zhuo Canghai also started laughing, “Ancient Ruins, how wonderful! Over the course of countless years, this Ancient Ruins must have produced an uncountable number of heavenly and earthly treasures, and even the Ascend to Immortal Platform is currently here, how marvelous indeed!”
“What do you mean by that, fellow Daoist?” Elder Qingfeng suddenly had a bad feeling.
Zhuo Canghai’s smile held a hint of playfulness, “Nothing much, just thanking you for the information. I shall take my leave!”
Having said that, Zhuo Canghai turned and headed in the direction Yanqing had pointed. However, everyone clearly caught a flash of coldness and killing intent in Zhuo Canghai’s eyes.
“Pleasewait, Predecessor!”
Li Cheng spoke up.
Zhuo Canghai turned around, giving Li Cheng a look, “Young brother, what is it?”
Li Cheng clasped his fists, “Since the Predecessor comes from the Artifact Sect, there is something I need to inform you about.”
“Speak,” Zhuo Canghai nodded calmly.
“In the Kunlun Southern Region there’s a Heavenly Mechanism Sect which, not long ago, launched an attack on your Sect. It is said that your Sect suffered heavy losses,” Li Cheng said.
Zhuo Canghai nodded slightly, “My descent to the lower world is precisely for this matter. But evidently, I know more than you do. If there’s nothing else, I’ll be on my way.”
“Predecessor, I’ve heard that the instigator behind this is very powerful, and surely the Heavenly Mechanism Sect is also extremely strong. Please be careful!” Li Cheng once again clasped his fists and smiled.
Zhuo Canghai let out a cold laugh, “Heavenly Mechanism Sect powerful? Tomorrow, there will be no Heavenly Mechanism Sect in the Kunlun Realm!” After finishing, Zhuo Canghai turned and flew away.
The various clan leaders looked at each other. The meaning behind Zhuo Canghai’s words was clear—he had come from the Lower World specifically to destroy the Heavenly Mechanism Sect!
So, how could they let him get what he wanted?
Because Li Cheng was a member of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect!
Li Cheng’s eyes narrowed slightly, “As expected, he came to eradicate the Heavenly Mechanism Sect!”
He had said all that just to probe Zhuo Canghai’s intentions.
Initially, the Artifact Sect had sworn an oath to the heavens that no one from their sect would be an enemy of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect, but Zhuo Canghai had apparently found a loophole.
For instance, leaving the Artifact Sect.
Now that he was no longer a member of the Artifact Sect, he could move against the Heavenly Mechanism Sect.
Li Cheng stared intently at the retreating figure of Zhuo Canghai and without a moment’s hesitation, he drew the Life and Death Demon Dragon Bow and the Arrow of Time, activating various laws and pulling the bow to its full extent!
Zhuo Canghai, who had already flown thousands of li away, saw his pupils constrict, Immortal Yuan surged around his body for protection, and Immortal Armor appeared on him!
This was almost accomplished in a blink of an eye, as he had sensed a terrifying crisis!
But to his horror, he found that neither the Immortal Armor nor the Immortal Yuan shield reduced the sense of impending doom in his heart!
In the next instant, he saw an arrow pierce through his chest; the medium-grade Immortal Armor and the vast Immortal Yuan were utterly ineffective in stopping it.
Zhuo Canghai did not hesitate to escape with his Nascent Soul. As soon as he did, he saw his Immortal Body turn to rubble!
“Fortunately, I was decisive. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have had the chance to escape with my Immortal Infant!” Zhuo Canghai’s complexion dramatically changed as his Immortal Infant quickly fled in the direction pointed out by Yanqing.
“Have you ever considered that what you perceive as luck maybe the result of my deliberately holding back?” Li Cheng’s voice resounded in front of him.
Zhuo Canghai hastily halted his flight and stared in disbelief at Li Cheng in front of him, then at the Immortal Bow in his hands, “Have you been hiding your cultivation?”
He must have been hiding his cultivation; otherwise, he couldn’t have appeared in front of him.
Furthermore, judging from the aura emitted by the Immortal Bow, it was indeed Li Cheng who had destroyed his Immortal Body with a single arrow!
But Li Cheng was only at the mid-stage of Heavenly Immortal. How could he be so strong? Thus, he knew Li Cheng must have been hiding his true cultivation! “Think what you will, just come in quietly, so you don’t suffer!” said Li Cheng as he took out the Purple Void Jade Emperor’s Tripod.
Zhuo Canghai’s face changed. Was Li Cheng going to refine his Nascent Soul into a pill?
At that moment, Elder Qingfeng and the others had also gathered around, each staring at Li Cheng with expressions of utter shock. Wasn’t this too abnormal?
That one arrow, even a late-stage Golden Immortal couldn’t withstand it?
“I told you, Li Cheng’s arrow can’t be blocked even by a Golden Immortal!” Feng Wanli, not as fast as Elder Qingfeng and the others, had only just arrived and laughed heartily.
Hearing Feng Wanli’s words, Zhuo Canghai’s eyes widened in disbelief, “You’re Li Cheng? How is that possible?”
“It seems you know who I am,” Li Cheng said calmly.
How could he not know? It was Li Cheng who caused a great commotion in the Artifact Sect!
When this news reached the Immortal World’s Artifact Sect, every member was enraged. It took much begging to get the sect to send him down to the Lower World to deal with it.
Little did they know that they still underestimated Li Cheng, who possessed the power to easily kill a Golden Immortal!
Zhuo Canghai wished he could slap himself several times; he thought he would perform a great deed coming to the Lower World, and now, he had completely delivered himself into the lion’s den!
“There’s been a misunderstanding, Li Cheng. Actually, I have already left the Artifact Sect. Coming to the Lower World was solely for relaxation!” Zhuo Canghai hastily said.
Li Cheng nodded, “Of course, I know you’ve left the Artifact Sect. Otherwise, bound by the oath to heaven, how could you dare to move against the Heavenly Mechanism Sect?”
Zhuo Canghai became anxious, “You can’t kill me. If the sect finds out something happened to me, they will surely send someone even stronger down here, and then…”
Li Cheng nodded again, interrupting Zhuo Canghai’s words, “Of course, I know. That’ s why that arrow was aimed at your back, not your Dantian.”
Zhuo Canghai was flustered. Why did everything he said seem to backfire on him?
