Chapter 196 - 195 Alliance of Ten Thousand Immortalsi
“Why use a cleaver to kill a chicken? The leader is an Immortal Monarch, and even if there are powerful beings following in the dark, they’re at most Immortal Kings. Besides, I believe there won’t be any Immortal Kings following secretly.”
Here, the Mansion Master is at the level of Immortal Monarch. Since these people are wary, they must be fearful of a higher-level Territory Lord.
After all, a Territory Lord is an existence at the Immortal King level.
This also indicates that the group is led by an Immortal Monarch, with no stronger beings.
To deal with an Immortal Monarch, I am enough.
“If you’re confident, then that settles it!” Immortal Emperor Tianyuan said with a laugh.
Li Cheng nodded, “Perfect. I’ve been instructing Qing Yun these two days. Once this matter is resolved, I’ll send them off to the Heavenly Mechanism Sect.”
Immortal Emperor Tianyuan nodded satisfactorily, very pleased with Li Cheng’s arrangements.
Qingxuan and Qing Yun, however, were somewhat confused. Did they understand correctly that Li Cheng could easily take care of an Immortal Monarch?
He was once an Immortal, and his cultivation was not low. He could sense that Li Cheng was merely a Golden Immortal.
Above Golden Immortals were Daluo Golden Immortals, and only then came Immortal Monarchs. Could Li Cheng overcome two major realms to defeat an enemy?
Wasn’t that a bit too exaggerated?
But they did not understand Li Cheng, though they did understand Immortal Emperor Tianyuan.
If Immortal Emperor Tianyuan was so confident, what reason did they have to doubt?
Soon, everyone arrived at Qing Mansion. Li Cheng directly took Qing Yun into a closed-door instruction, leaving everyone else hanging.
Qing Yun’s mother was full of doubts, and while Qingxuan explained, he also ordered everyone to pack up, preparing to leave the Central Continent.
Two days passed, and suddenly above Qing Mansion, a wave of Immortal Yuan fluctuations emerged, followed by a light membrane that enveloped Qing Mansion.
“A third-level Immortal Array, who is this looking down on?” Immortal Emperor Tianyuan looked up, shook his head, and chuckled.
“Qingxuan, the three days are up; have you made up your mind?” A robust voice echoed explosively from within the formation.
Qingxuan soared to the rooftop, and with a flip of his hand, pulled out the Pen of Life and Death, “The Pen of Life and Death is here, but you must tell me, who wants the ancient Immortal Artifact left by my father?”
” What? Do you want your descendants to retrieve it later?” That voice said playfully.
“So, your intention is to eradicate the root? Well, I would indeed like to know how powerful the self-destruct of this ancient Immortal Artifact could be,” Qingxuan laughed, his smile filled with playfulness.
Whoosh!
A figure descended from the sky, the aura of an Immortal Monarch Realm exploding forth, causing the ground of Qing Mansion to sink several meters.
But with the Formation in place, his aura didn’t spread outwards.
“Qingxuan, with your Tribulation Crossing Stage cultivation, you can’t trigger the self-destruction of this Immortal Artifact, and its Artifact Spirit would never allow it either. So, hand it over obediently!”
Qingxuan’s smile grew even more pronounced, “If you want it that badly, why don’t you try to snatch it? What are you afraid of? Are you afraid I have an Immortal Emperor’s talisman? Or are you scared that leaking your aura will alert other Immortal Monarchs?”
The Black Robed Man’s eyes flashed with a sharp light, “Then, as you wish!”
Before his words fell, the Black Robed Man reached out to grab it from the air.
However, contrary to his expectations, a powerful spatial barrier suddenly appeared, blocking him!
“Oh? Did you hire someone? No wonder you’re so confident,” the Black Robed Man sneered, attacking again with a punch toward the barrier, trying to blast it open.
Yet an even stranger scene unfolded. The Black Robed Man was only ten meters from the barrier, but now it seemed infinite in length; no matter how fast he sprinted, he could not get any closer to the barrier!
“Spatial extension?” The Black Robed Man’s eyes narrowed slightly, his expression becoming serious.
Being able to use space extension to hold me back indicates that the opponent’s spatial abilities are extremely strong, and naturally, their cultivation won’t be inferior.
“Stop playing around, bind him, I’ll search his soul!” Li Cheng’s voice rang out.
“Yes!” the Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle responded.
The next second, the Black Robed Man felt a sudden tightness all over his body, as if the entire world had compressed, rendering him immovable.
Immediately after, Li Cheng stepped forward, appearing in the Black Robed Man’s field of vision.
The Black Robed Man’s expression turned solemn, “Who are you? The turtle on your shoulder… the Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle?”
“It seems you know quite a bit, which is good, so I don’t have to worry about not getting the answers I want from searching your soul,” Li Cheng said casually, stepping towards the bound Black Robed Man.
The Black Robed Man snorted coldly, “You’re just a Golden Immortal, soul searching? Playing with fire is more like it!”
“Break!”
The Black Robed Man burst forth with all his might, his powerful Immortal Yuan vibrations instantly shattered the seal of the Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle!
After all, there was a major realm gap, and the Divine Turtle couldn’t suppress him anymore when he burst forth with all his strength.
“Talking big with nothing to back it up? Boy, you should consider your own strength before taking on such a task, if you don’t have the strength, then don’t take it on!” the Black Robed Man snorted coldly.
Li Cheng nodded, “What you said is correct!”
Whoom!
Suddenly, the Black Robed Man felt as if his internal organs had flipped inside out, an incomparably strong gravitational force surged, continuously changing directions, not only making it impossible for him to stand steadily, but also causing his organs to suffer, and blood spurted from his mouth!
Li Cheng stopped, smiled lightly, and said, “That’s all? Immortal Monarchs are nothing special.”
In this state, if Li Cheng wanted to kill him, it would be effortless.
The Black Robed Man struggled to raise his hand, trying to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth but found that he couldn’t, and he couldn’t even keep his body upright, crushed to the ground by the terrifying gravitational force.
“Law field! You, a mighty Immortal Emperor, disguise yourself as a Golden Immortal to deal with me, do you have no shame?” the Black Robed Man panicked, gnashing his teeth in rebuke.
Being able to possess a Law field and now easily suppressing him, a Immortal Monarch, in his eyes, Li Cheng was certainly an Immortal Emperor.
“Think what you like, in the end, the victor takes all, and you would do better to cooperate with my soul searching to avoid your soul scattering,” Li Cheng walked up to the Black Robed Man and said indifferently.
The Black Robed Man clenched his teeth, “Immortal Emperor sir, whatever you want to know, just ask me directly, I dare not hide anything. There’s no need to use such a forbidden technique as soul searching, after all, if word got out, it would damage your reputation.”
“Very well, speak, the backing forces behind you, how did they track down the Qing Family, tell me everything you know!” Li Cheng said as he casually sat down nearby.
After all, this was an Immortal Monarch, and he was merely a Golden Immortal; soul searching would still pose a significant risk.
Since he had sufficiently intimidated him anyway, it would be foolish of the Black Robed Man to hold back any information.
“We come from the Alliance of Ten Thousand Immortals, when Emperor Qing got the Pen of Life and Death a hundred thousand years ago, the Alliance began to make arrangements to snatch the Pen, the details of which I am not aware of, I am just obeying orders to come to the Lower World.”
“The reason we could find Qingxuan is that a sage in the Alliance had placed a curse on the Qing Family years ago, with the curse, we were able to locate them.”
The Alliance of Ten Thousand Immortals?
Any power from the Immortal World, Li Cheng didn’t know of.
But it wasn’t hard to deduce that this so-called Alliance would definitely be teeming with experts.
“You were ordered to descend to the Lower World, how many of you came? What are your cultivation levels?” Li Cheng inquired further.
The Black Robed Man sighed helplessly, “They’re all here, the highest in cultivation is me, at the mid-phase of the Immortal Monarch Realm, those thirteen outside are Profound Immortals and Golden Immortals, mere insects in the eyes of someone like you.”
Fearing that Li Cheng might kill to silence him, the Black Robed Man quickly added, “Two days ago, I sent a message back to the Immortal World; they said if I do not return in three days, they will send someone even stronger to the Lower World!”
