Chapter 175: Chapter 174: Enemy Visits

Elder Ma, Elder Xuanfeng, and Elder Qingyun, the three of them, travelled through the night. After a whole night’s journey, they finally arrived at the Emperor Immortal Sect.

When the three of them saw the corpses hanging in front of the mountain gate of the Emperor Immortal Sect, they felt a cold chill in their limbs, followed by an astonishing surge of anger in their hearts.

Those three corpses were the Supreme Elders of their three great cultivation sacred lands.

Bloody Old Devil, True Person Xiu Shui, Wu Longzhou!

Although they had already received the news, seeing the corpses of the three with their own eyes, they still found it somewhat unbelievable.

Just a few days ago, they were laughing and talking about the rumors, and in the blink of an eye, the three seniors had turned into cold bodies. Now their corpses were hung in front of the mountain gate as a warning to others.

This was, for them, a complete insult!

"Where is the Sect Master of the Emperor Immortal Sect?!" Carrying such fury, Elder Ma from Xuanmo Cave could no longer restrain himself. He immediately resonated his True Qi, letting his voice spread throughout the entire Emperor Immortal Sect.

At this moment, it was early morning.

Many disciples were hurrying to the arena, preparing for a new day of cultivation. On hearing this voice, they were startled.

"Someone’s coming?!"

"Could it be people from the three great cultivation sacred lands?" Some disciples turned pale.

Yesterday, the Sect Master and others brought back the corpses of the three Supreme Elders from the three great cultivation sacred lands to the Sect, and nailed them to the front of the mountain gate.

Many disciples had discussed this matter all night yesterday.

These three great cultivation sacred lands were the absolute overlords of the entire Tianqing Mountain Range.

The entire Tianqing Mountain Range, spanning one hundred and thirty thousand li long and sixty thousand li wide, had many branches.

Whether it was the three great cultivation sacred lands, the Emperor Immortal Sect, Lie Tian Heavenly Country, Huainan Mountain Jiang Family, Dan Yun Sect, Snow Mist Mountain Huang Family, and other forces, all belonged to the Tianqing Mountain Range area.

Among them, the three great cultivation sacred lands were the three most powerful forces.

Even Dan Yun Sect, an Alchemist Sect, was not as powerful as these three forces.

The Emperor Immortal Sect’s killing of the Supreme Elders of the three great cultivation sacred lands would surely bring about the revenge of these three sacred lands.

It was precisely because of this that many disciples did not sleep well last night, their hearts filled with unease.

Having barely made it through the night and feeling relieved, ready to go to the arena for cultivation, they immediately heard the voice of Elder Ma from Xuanmo Cave, which frightened them a lot.

For a time, within the Emperor Immortal Sect, there was widespread panic.

However, there was also a group of people who remained calm.

That was the three hundred disciples who had returned from the Wansheng Mountain Arena last night.

Last night, they had witnessed the invincible might of the ancestor at the Wansheng Mountain Arena, as well as the decisive actions of the eldest senior brother.

This gave them a sense of security.

At this moment, hearing someone shouting outside the mountain gate, they rejoiced instead of fearing, saying, "It looks like just as the eldest senior brother said, the people from the three great cultivation sacred lands have come so quickly to deliver their heads?!"

Without delay, they voluntarily assembled and surged toward the mountain gate.

Right now, in front of the mountain gate.

Lu Chengde personally presided over it.

Seeing Elder Ma, Elder Xuanfeng, and Elder Qingyun, Lu Chengde’s expression was cold and he said indifferently, "Our Sect Master is busy, with no time to entertain idlers."

"Speak if you have business, fart if you have a fart, leave if you’re not farting."

Lu Chengde said coldly.

This caused the disciples guarding the mountain gate with him to tremble with fear.

They knew without having to think that these three must be sent by the three great cultivation sacred lands, their strong aura was terrifying to the senses.

Yet, Elder Lu was completely unaccommodating, even ’extremely rude’ you could say!

"Elder Lu, these three people could be from the three great cultivation sacred lands..." a disciple couldn’t help but whisper a reminder to Lu Chengde.

"This is the Emperor Immortal Sect." Lu Chengde spoke slowly and steadily.

With one sentence, he shut down the disciple.

The disciple could only back away helplessly, sighing inwardly.

"I am an Elder from Xuanmo Cave, you are just a guard dog of the Emperor Immortal Sect, not qualified to speak with me!" Elder Ma said coldly, giving Lu Chengde a scornful glance and speaking in a deep tone.

"Then you can continue farting over there." Lu Chengde was not angry either, speaking lightly.

As he spoke, Lu Chengde waved his large hand, activating the Emperor Immortal Sect’s Sect Protection Array. A Glazed Barrier appeared, like an inverted glass bowl over the Emperor Immortal Sect, covering it completely, and isolating Elder Ma’s voice as well.

"Ugh..."

This scene directly stunned the other disciples of the Emperor Immortal Sect.

Wasn’t this a bit too decisive?

They looked outside.

Outside the Sect Protection Array, Elder Ma seemed to have reached the peak of fury, ranting frantically, but because the sound was blocked, no one could hear what he was saying.

However, it was evident that Elder Ma was definitely cursing up a storm.

The series of actions taken by Lu Chengde utterly caught them off guard.

"A mere gatekeeper dog dares to be so arrogant?!" Elder Ma’s face was ashen with rage, his aura unstable.

As an Elder of Xuanmo Cave, he would be respected wherever he went.

But now, a mere gatekeeper from the Emperor Immortal Sect was being so arrogant. It made his scalp tingle with rage.

"Brother Ma, do not act recklessly."

Seeing Elder Ma’s unstable state, Elder Qingyun from the Sacred Land of Lingxu couldn’t help but speak out.

"We came here to demand an explanation, then we would take the Supreme Elder’s corpse back for burial, not to start a fight," Elder Xuanfeng from Smoke Mist Mountain said in a calming tone.

They were really not fond of Elder Ma’s temperament.

If they were here to fight, a little hot-headedness wouldn’t matter. But presently, there were only three of them on someone else’s territory, and with the other party having an Old Ancestor presiding over it. If they were too arrogant, it would be outright suicidal.

Upon hearing the words of Elders Qingyun and Xuanfeng, Elder Ma was struck speechless with anger, "Didn’t you see the attitude of that gatekeeper dog?"

"If it were any other time, I would have slapped such an insolent fellow to death!"

Elder Ma was seething with rage, glaring at Lu Chengde who was under the cover of the Sect Protection Array, livid to the point of no return.

Elders Xuanfeng and Qingyun didn’t look too pleased either.

No matter how you looked at it, they were representatives of the three great cultivation sacred lands. The attitude of the Emperor Immortal Sect was not only dismissive towards them but also towards the three great cultivation sacred lands!

But for now, if they didn’t lower their heads, they would be stuck in a deadlock, unable to meet the Sect Master of the Emperor Immortal Sect, unable to demand an explanation, and unable to retrieve the Supreme Elder’s corpse.

Considering this, both Elder Xuanfeng and Elder Qingyun bowed towards the Emperor Immortal Sect, calling out loudly, "Xuanfengzi of Smoke Mist Mountain and Qingyunzi of the Sacred Land of Lingxu have come to visit. We kindly request the presence of your Sect Master Zhou Zihuang to have a word."

Even though their voices were blocked, they believed that Lu Chengde would definitely see this scene.

Elder Ma’s face darkened when he saw this, but he had no choice but to follow suit with the bow.

In his heart, though, Elder Ma was already harboring a strong intent to kill.

This Emperor Immortal Sect,

someday will be destroyed!

Under the three men’s bows, the Sect Protection Array of the Emperor Immortal Sect slowly dissipated.

Lu Chengde looked at the three of them and said calmly, "Like I said earlier, my Sect Master is busy and has no time."

"Then do you have the authority to make decisions?" Elder Xuanfeng asked with a slightly raised eyebrow, looking at Lu Chengde.

"I do," Lu Chengde said indifferently.

Just yesterday, Zhou Zihuang had entrusted him with full authority to handle these matters.

Moreover, his master Ye Xuan had instructed that when dealing with people from the three great cultivation sacred lands, there was no need for pleasantries.

Because...

They were enemies.

"I will ask you then, why did you kill our Sect’s Supreme Elder?!" Elder Ma asked in a deep voice.

Elders Qingyun and Xuanfeng also stared at Lu Chengde, their expressions turning cold.

They could bear the earlier slight to their faces, but when it came to such a grave matter, they would not give in!

They had come here precisely to demand an explanation!

"Why kill? Do I even need to ask?" Lu Chengde glanced at the three men disdainfully.

"Aren’t you going to ask us why we came here?" Elder Xuanfeng retorted with a cold snort.

Lu Chengde smiled coldly and replied, "Fine, then let me tell you right here. The people from your three great cultivation sacred lands, in collusion with Hong Yunlie, the State Preceptor of Lie Tian Heavenly Country, plotted to destroy our Sect. Our Sect was forced to strike back in self-defense. Is there anything unclear about that?"

"Baseless accusations, you are slandering the three great cultivation sacred lands!" Elder Qingyun’s eyes sharpened.

"Open your eyes and take a good look. What are these three corpses?" Lu Chengde pointed to the three corpses hanging at the Mountain Gate, speaking in a tone that was neither salty nor bland.
