Chapter 101
Inside the private room, exquisite dishes were served one after another like flowing water, and the fragrance of fine jade liquor and nectar filled the air!
Fang Han and Yang Xuanji could no longer restrain themselves, picking up their jade chopsticks and feasting heartily!
Yun Lingxi also began to eat, her demeanor reserved and proper!
Feng Zhi Zhenren poured and drank by himself, his demeanor leisurely!
Li Zhangsheng sat upright in the chief seat, leisurely taking a sip of wine, his whole person aloof and transcendent!
He lifted his gaze, swept over the crowd, and slowly spoke:
«Just now, with my divine sense I heard someone inside the Bai Xian Lou discussing that a person from the Changsheng Sect had obtained an ancient emperor's secret key on the Wan Cang Immortal Continent! »
«Changsheng Sect? » Fang Han exclaimed upon hearing, curiously asking: «Master, does the Liuli Immortal Realm also have a Changsheng Sect? »
Li Zhangsheng lightly nodded: «I also overheard them discussing it. »
«I've heard that the Changsheng Sect was only just established ten thousand years ago, and now it is merely a sect of Immortal King level. »
Fang Han's expression brightened: «Master, could the Changsheng Sect have been founded by some senior fellow disciple who ascended? »
«Uncertain! » Li Zhangsheng said: «Of course, we cannot rule out that possibility. »
«Just go to the Wan Cang Immortal Continent and ask the person who obtained the ancient emperor's secret key, and you'll know. »
«Perhaps the one who obtained the ancient emperor's secret key is one of those kids. »
«Wan Cang Immortal Continent, Ancient Emperor's secret key!! » Feng Zhi Zhenren set down his jade cup, a flicker of surprise flashing in his eyes: «I never expected that the Wan Cang Immortal Continent would actually have an ancient emperor's secret key appear in the world?! »
«How, you know about this Wan Cang Immortal Continent? » Li Zhangsheng looked toward Feng Zhi Zhenren.
«I know a little. » Feng Zhi Zhenren nodded and said:
«This Wan Cang Immortal Continent is an ancient secret realm left behind within the Liuli Immortal Realm! »
«It is said that this place gathers heavenly supreme treasures, rare and extraordinary materials, and unparalleled cultivation methods! »
«However, this place is sealed layer upon layer, with restrictions on cultivators' realms, and it opens only once every million years. »
«Each opening lasts only a hundred years. »
«When the hundred years are up, the secret realm closes automatically; those who re-enter will either be lost for ages at best, or directly turned to ashes at worst. »
«Once every million years?! » Yang Xuanji said, slightly shocked: «Is the cycle of a single opening really that long? »
«Are the opportunities inside very abundant? »
«Not bad. » Feng Zhi Zhenren lightly nodded, «but the greater the opportunity, the greater the danger. »
«Inside the Wan Cang Immortal Continent, there are numerous lingering killing formations, restrictions, and ancient beasts…»
«A slight carelessness leads to falling! »
«Furthermore, the danger is not limited to these! »
«More often, the danger comes from other cultivators! »
«For example, if you obtain a supreme treasure but lack the strength and background to back it up, that treasure becomes something that will take your life! »
«After all, an innocent man who carries a jade is guilty of his own crime! »
«It is also because Wan Cang Immortal Continent imposes a realm restriction on those who enter; otherwise, the inside would become even more frenzied! »
Li Zhangsheng said indifferently: «Realm restriction? »
«Yes. » Feng Zhi Zhenren said, «the Wan Cang Immortal Continent is suppressed by heavenly dao rules, allowing only cultivators at the Immortal Sovereign Realm and below to enter. »
«Immortal Venerable Realm and above experts, once they approach the secret realm's entrance, will be directly repelled by the power of the rules. »
«Forcibly breaking in will only result in being crushed to death by the will of the world. »
«Precisely for this reason, some cultivators of ordinary background have a chance to obtain opportunities inside! »
«Otherwise, all the opportunities inside would have been divided up by those Immortal Venerable level sects; what chance would ordinary-background cultivators have? »
«And that Ancient Emperor's secret key… is the key to opening the Immortal Emperor's abode, and should be considered the greatest opportunity! »
«Each time it appears in the world, it can cause a great commotion, drawing all forces to flock to it! »
«I never expected that the Wan Cang Immortal Continent would actually have an Ancient Emperor's secret key appear in the world! »
«Ancient Emperor's secret key. » Fang Han muttered to himself: «Opening the Ancient Emperor's abode and obtaining the true inheritance of the Immortal Emperor—this is no small matter! »
«Exactly so. » Feng Zhi Zhenren sighed, «the entire Liuli Immortal Realm will probably go mad over it. »
«A single key is enough to let a small force soar to the heavens, let a great sect advance further, and even an Immortal Venerable level sect could not remain unmoved! »
Fang Han could not help but speak: «Isn't the Changsheng Sect disciple who holds the key as good as dead? »
«A mere ten-thousand-year Immortal King level sect simply cannot protect such an opportunity! »
Li Zhangsheng said indifferently: «Let's wait until we've eaten and drunk our fill, then first go take a look at the Wan Cang Immortal Continent. »
Soon, after the few of them had eaten and drunk their fill…
Li Zhangsheng rose: «Let's go, let's go take a look at the Wan Cang Immortal Continent. »
Li Zhangsheng rose!
Fang Han, Yun Lingxi, and Yang Xuanji followed behind, with Feng Zhi Zhenren bringing up the rear, and the group stepped out of the private room!
As soon as they stepped into the corridor, they heard a vast clamor and killing intent coming from the square outside!
«Who is it? »
«Who killed my son Zhao Ting! »
«All members of the Lin family, hear the order: surround this Bai Xian Lou completely, not letting a single person escape! »
«Whoever dared to kill my daughter, today I will surely crush their bones and scatter their ashes, paying blood debt with blood! »
The voice shook heaven and earth, immortal qi surging without cease, the entire first-floor square of the Bai Xian Lou was tightly surrounded by countless cultivators.
The two leaders, one on the left and one on the right, possessed overwhelming auras, both being top-tier experts at the late Immortal Sovereign Realm!
On the left, one figure wore a dragon-patterned golden armor, his visage ferocious, killing aura shooting to the heavens—the head of the Zhao family, Zhao Feng!
On the right, one figure clad in splendid brocade robes, his countenance gloomy and vicious, his eyes like blades—none other than the head of the Lin family, Lin Hong!
The two had previously sensed that their children's fate cards were completely shattered inside the Hundred Immortals Building, and their fury had already burned their internal organs!
Behind them, each led hundreds of elite disciples, a great many of whom were at the Immortal King Realm!
There were also a dozen or so Immortal Emperor Realm practitioners, and together the two forces could sweep away more than ninety percent of the powers in this star region!
On the plaza, the cultivators who had been watching for fun fled in terror, keeping a safe distance for fear of being caught up in this disaster!
The fat shopkeeper of the Hundred Immortals Building and Wu Zhuxian did not appear; their divine sense looked outward and transmitted a voice to the outside:
"Brother Zhao, Brother Lin, the person who killed your son and daughter is a young man in white; they have just finished eating and are about to leave!"
While the fat shopkeeper transmitted the voice, his divine sense inadvertently swept toward the exit!
Kill using a borrowed knife and reap the profit!
No need to offend the strong oneself, yet still give the Zhao and Lin families an answer, and uphold the Hundred Immortals Building's rules—a triple gain!
At that moment.
Several figures slowly stepped out from the passage.
At the front, the white‑clad, snow‑like, aloof Li Zhangsheng walked ahead.
Fang Han, Yang Xuanji, and a few others followed closely behind.
At the rear, Feng Zhi Zhenren stood with his hands clasped behind his back, a nonchalant expression on his face!
The moment they appeared, the plaza fell silent instantly!
Everyone held their breath, watching Li Zhangsheng and his companions!
"It's him!"
The handsome men and beautiful women who had been with Zhao Ting earlier, upon seeing Li Zhangsheng and his group emerge, pointed at them in anger.
Now that members of the Zhao and Lin families have arrived, they are also brimming with confidence:
"It was this white‑clad youth who killed Young Master Zhao Ting and Miss Lin Shu!"
Zhao Feng and Lin Hong simultaneously lifted their gazes, their eyes like blades stabbing at Li Zhangsheng.
"You! Did you kill my son Zhao Ting?" Zhao Feng's voice thundered, and the pressure of a late‑stage Immortal Emperor Realm erupted.
He glared angrily at Li Zhangsheng!
"You killed my daughter; you deserve ten thousand deaths!" Lin Hong said coldly to Li Zhangsheng and his group, "Fall to your knees and accept execution!"
Behind the two, numerous cultivators simultaneously summoned their treasures, celestial Qi boiled, and murderous intent locked onto Li Zhangsheng and his companions!!
Awaiting the clan chief's command, they would blast Li Zhangsheng and his party to pieces.
The fat shopkeeper, in the backstage of the Hundred Immortals Building, curled a confident smile at the corner of his mouth.
It's coming; the grand show is finally about to begin!
Fang Han and Yang Xuanji were indifferent, instinctively glancing at Li Zhangsheng!
But Li Zhangsheng didn't even glance at Zhao Feng or Lin Hong…
"Honestly, never ending, huh?!" Feng Zhi Zhenren shook his head, sighed, and smiled, "Senior, such a trivial matter can be handled by me!"
Feng Zhi Zhenren stepped forward one pace!
After all, he is also an Immortal Sovereign Realm strongman; he can't let the senior handle this swarm of ants forever!
His words hung in the air…
Boom!!!
A force that towered over heaven and earth, terrifying to the extreme, like divine pressure descending from the heavens, suddenly erupted from his body!
The fearsome pressure of an Immortal Sovereign Realm strongman!
Rumble—rumble—rumble!!!
The entire plaza was instantly enveloped by this pressure!
The air solidified, space warped, heaven and earth fell silent!
Just moments ago, Zhao Feng and Lin Hong were raging like thunder, but they suddenly plummeted from the sky to the ground!
The ferocious scowl on their faces froze instantly, replaced by extreme terror and horror!
"What?!"
"Immortal... Immortal Sovereign?!"
"How could this be!!"
Neither of them could even muster a thought of resistance!
Before a true Immortal Sovereign, they were like ants before the heavens, unable to do anything!!
The next moment!
Snap!
The sound of bones cracking rang on endlessly!
"No!"
"No!!"
"Senior, spare me!"
All members of the Zhao and Lin families, terrified, looked at Feng Zhi Zhenren pleading for mercy!
Feng Zhi Zhenren's gaze was icy, unmoved!
From late‑stage Immortal Emperor Realm strongmen like Zhao Feng and Lin Hong to the lowest‑rank disciples, all were shattered under this pressure!
Bang bang bang bang bang!!!
Immediately after, blood, shredded flesh, and bone fragments rained down on the White Jade Plaza like a torrential downpour, shocking to the eyes!
Just a second ago the two forces were bristling with killing intent; this second, the entire armies were annihilated, leaving nothing behind!
The whole plaza fell into dead silence!
All the observing cultivators were frightened stiff, not daring to breathe loudly, their legs went weak, and they almost collapsed to the ground!
Immortal Venerable!
Heavens!
That is actually an Immortal Venerable Sir?!
Backstage at the Hundred Immortals Tower, the fat shopkeeper's smile froze completely!
His face turned ashen as paper, cold sweat drenched his whole body, and he was scared witless!
"Immortal Venerable Sir?!"
"This..."
He had originally intended to borrow a knife to kill, but he never expected that among these people there actually was an Immortal Venerable Realm expert!
Seeing that everyone of the Lin and Zhao families had already been completely wiped out, Feng Zhi Zhenren slowly retracted his aura!
He flicked his sleeve, wearing a nonchalant expression, as if he had just swatted a few flies.
Immediately afterward, he turned his head to look at the One Hundred Immortals Tower; his voice was not loud, yet it clearly reached every corner:
"Shopkeeper, come out and mop the floor!"
