Chapter 121: Isn't Living Fine?

"Hey, it's out!"

"Did you get much inside?"

Li Zhangsheng and his three companions had just stepped out of the spatial gate when a mocking and arrogant voice rang out!

Looking up, they saw more than ten figures hovering in the void ahead.

These people wore luxurious garments, exuded a dense aura, and were surrounded by immortal light; clearly they were no ordinary cultivators!

At the front stood a youth in brocade finery, about twenty years old, handsome, yet the haughty superiority in his brows seemed ready to spill over.

He toyed with a jade pendant swirling with seven‑colored sunrise light, his eyes flippantly scanning Li Zhangsheng and his three companions as if watching a few mice emerging from a hole.

Beside the youth stood a gray‑robed elder, gaunt‑faced, his gaze deep as an abyss, with faint law‑pattern currents flowing around him, his restrained yet terrifying aura marking him as a Quasi Immortal Emperor‑level powerhouse!

The remaining ten‑plus individuals each possessed Peak Immortal cultivation, now spreading in a fan shape, subtly sealing off Li Zhangsheng and his three companions' retreat!

The brocade‑clad youth spoke again, a playful smile curling at his mouth:

"I've been waiting here for a long time, thinking some remarkable figure would open the cave residence."

"Never expected... it would be four lowly turtles from the Lower Immortal Realm!"

His words concealed no hint of contempt!

Earlier they had passed through the Hongmeng Immortal Domain, happened to notice the commotion of the Immortal Emperor's cave opening, and came to investigate!

The gray‑robed Quasi Immortal Emperor elder recognized it as an ancient Immortal Emperor cave, and fearing hidden dangers, they did not rush in but kept watch outside!

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jue and his two companions' faces instantly darkened.

Liu Yiming couldn't help but curse, "Where did that fool come from?"

The brocade youth's face hardened, "How audacious, mere ants of the Lower Immortal Realm daring to speak insolently to me?"

A Peak Immortal guard behind him stepped forward, shouting coldly:

"Listen up, this is the Young Palace Lord of the Mystic Heaven Palace in the Upper Immortal Realm, Young Master Ling Tianyu!"

"And this is my third elder of the Mystic Heaven Palace, Cang Ming Quasi Immortal Emperor—kneel and pay your respects at once!"

Upper Immortal Realm?

Mystic Heaven Palace?

Quasi Immortal Emperor?

Mu Xuanyi felt a chill in his heart!

The Lower Immortal Realm consists of countless Immortal Domains!

The Upper Immortal Realm, however, is the true core of the Immortal world—its laws complete, resources abundant, and only lineages above Quasi Immortal Emperor level may set foot there.

The Lower Immortal Realm is merely a barbaric wasteland in the eyes of the Upper Immortal Realm!!

Those from the Upper Immortal Realm may freely come to the Lower Immortal Realm!

But Lower Immortal Realm folk wishing to ascend must obtain approval from the forces guarding the Upper Immortal Realm's passage!

Unexpectedly, this group hails from the Upper Immortal Realm, and even includes a Quasi Immortal Emperor's attendant!

Ling Tianyu saw Liu Yiming and the others remain silent, assuming they were frightened, and his smug grin deepened.

His gaze swept over Li Zhangsheng, noting the white‑clothed youth's unchanged, calm expression as if he hadn't heard a word, and a flicker of displeasure rose within him!

"Hey, the one in white," Ling Tianyu lifted his chin and said in a commanding tone:

"Hand over whatever fates or treasures you gained from this ancient Immortal Emperor cave!"

"I'm in a good mood; perhaps I'll reward you with a few items!"

Li Zhangsheng finally looked up, glancing at Ling Tianyu as if at a buzzing bluebottle!

"Finished?" Li Zhangsheng asked, his voice flat.

"Hmm." Ling Tianyu nodded, teasing, "So, are you handing it over voluntarily, or shall we force you?"

"If we have to force you, you'll surely regret it!"

He finished speaking, then launched an attack!

The ten‑plus Peak Immortal guards behind them stepped forward together, a terrifying aura erupting like a landslide and tsunami, bearing down on Li Zhangsheng and his three companions!

Li Zhangsheng gave Ling Tianyu a casual glance, then slapped forward!

Boom!

Ling Tianyu exploded into a blood mist!

A gentle breeze blew.

The blood mist dispersed, vanishing without a trace.

As if the person had never existed.

Silence!

Dead silence!

Everyone from the Mystic Heaven Palace froze in place!

They stared dumbfounded at the spot where Ling Tianyu vanished, then slowly turned to the snow‑white, calm Li Zhangsheng.

A chill surged from his feet straight to his Heavenly Spirit Crown!

The Young Palace Lord... gone?

Was turned into blood mist by a single slap?

Couldn't even let out a scream?

"You... you killed the Young Palace Lord?!" a guard stammered, his voice trembling with tears!

"Heavens, what have you done?!"

"He's our Mystic Heaven Palace's Young Palace Lord! How dare you?!"

The gray‑robed elder, Cang Ming Quasi Immortal Emperor, beside them, suddenly shivered all over!

His face turned deathly pale, his eyes bursting with murderous intent!

The Young Palace Master was killed right under his nose—how will he face the Palace Master when he returns?

"Damn it!!"

"Die for me!!"

Cang Ming Quasi-Immortal Emperor roared, the laws around him surged wildly, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth instantly erupted!

He raised his hand and seized, and a black spear materialized out of thin air!

The spear shaft coiled with destructive lightning, thrusting viciously at Li Zhangsheng!

This strike, imbued with the full power of an early-stage Quasi-Immortal Emperor, could pierce stars and annihilate a world!

However.

Li Zhangsheng merely glanced at the black spear.

Then he raised his hand again.

From afar, he gave a light swing.

Boom!

Another explosion!

In everyone's horrified gaze, Cang Ming Quasi-Immortal Emperor, together with his black spear, turned into a cloud of blood beneath that palm.

A breeze blew by!

The blood mist drifted away!

A Quasi-Immortal Emperor has fallen.

Like crushing an ant!

The remaining Profound Heaven Palace guards were all terrified silly.

They stared blankly at the spot where Cang Ming Quasi-Immortal Emperor vanished, then at Li Zhangsheng, trembling all over, unable to stand!

A Quasi-Immortal Emperor!

That was a Quasi-Immortal Emperor!

In the Upper Immortal Realm, they are mighty beings!

And yet he was slapped to death?!

How is this possible!!

Only then did Li Zhangsheng turn his gaze to the terrified guards.

Just a glance…

Boom! Boom! Boom…

Those guards all exploded into blood mist!

"Hey, isn't it better to be alive?" Liu Yiming shook their head helplessly.
