Chapter 133

"Everyone, speak up." On the chief seat, the Northern Peak Immortal Emperor slowly opened his mouth: "How should this matter be properly resolved?"

"Sect Master, let's apologize and seek peace." At that moment, an elder spoke.

This person had a refined appearance, wore a green robe, and was precisely the representative of the Human Immortal Alliance who had previously opposed taking a hard line against the Longevity Gate—Yanxing Immortal Emperor.

His cultivation was also that of a supreme Immortal Emperor; he enjoyed great prestige in Mengzhong and had long been responsible for diplomatic affairs with the Demon Immortal Alliance and the Origin God Sect!

Yanxing Immortal Emperor stood up, slightly cupped his hands toward the Northern Peak Immortal Emperor, and said: "Sect Master, that white-robed cultivator's strength is unfathomable, and after all he is also a member of our human race."

"Such a person, if we can befriend him, would be a great blessing for the Human Immortal Alliance and even all of humanity; if we do not show some attitude, he may develop reservations, and the consequences would be unthinkable!"

"In my opinion, we should immediately apologize and turn weapons into jade and silk; that is the best choice at present."

"If we do not promptly apologize and make amends, once that white-robed cultivator grows dissatisfied, he will directly slaughter our Human Immortal Alliance headquarters..."

Yanxing Immortal Emperor said this, and all the emperors in the hall had their expressions tighten.

An existence capable of easily slaying supreme Immortal Emperors and suppressing peak Immortal Emperors with a flick of the finger, if he truly came to our door, even if the Human Immortal Alliance could block him, it would inevitably suffer a heavy price.

"Hmph!" One of the Immortal Emperors gave a cold snort, his face grim: "Are we just going to give away our Human Immortal Alliance's two supreme treasures for nothing?"

"Xuanbing, stay calm." Yanxing Immortal Emperor smiled slightly: "Although the treasures are precious, they are still better than our Human Immortal Alliance suffering great vital injury."

"Moreover, if we can befriend that powerful one, what we gain later would hardly be comparable to those two supreme treasures."

That Xuanbing Immortal Emperor still wanted to say something, but the Northern Peak Immortal Emperor raised his hand to stop him.

"What Yanxing says is reasonable." The Northern Peak Immortal Emperor pondered for a moment, then slowly nodded: "Yanxing, you are usually eloquent; this matter will be handled by you personally."

"Yes." Yanxing Immortal Emperor bowed and accepted the order.

The Northern Peak Immortal Emperor continued: "Prepare some generous gifts; Yanxing, this task will trouble you to make a trip."

"Sect Master, should we invite him to join our Human Immortal Alliance?" Yanxing Immortal Emperor asked.

"Inviting him probably wouldn't work." The Northern Peak Immortal Emperor gave a bitter shake of his head and a smile: "First show goodwill; if he is inclined, we can slowly plan; if he is not, we cannot force it."

"Alright!" Yanxing Immortal Emperor nodded.

"There is one more matter." The Northern Peak Immortal Emperor's expression suddenly grew solemn, his gaze sweeping over everyone present: "In recent years, over by the Boundary Sea... there have been some movements!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the hall tightened abruptly.

"The Boundary Sea?" Yanxing Immortal Emperor frowned: "Sect Master, you mean..."

Yanxing Immortal Emperor wanted to speak but held back, though his face showed a hint of unease.

"Correct." The Northern Peak Immortal Emperor nodded, his voice low: "The Origin God Sect has sent word that the primal will has remained in an uneasy state these past years, as if it sensed something deep in the Boundary Sea."

"You all should know that only... Foreign Demons could make the primal will so uneasy!"

The emperors in the hall looked at each other, each seeing solemnity in the other's eyes.

Foreign Demons—these high-ranking figures of the Immortal Realm naturally know such things exist!

They are an evil tribe outside the Immortal Realm, naturally brutal, addicted to slaughter, leaving no grass growing wherever they pass!

In the demon tide of a million years ago, the Immortal Realm paid what price to barely repel the Foreign Demons!

Although that history is too ancient, the recorded texts that have been passed down make one feel a shudder at a glance!

If the Foreign Demons invade again, the entire Immortal Realm will face a great catastrophe.

"I will personally communicate with the Origin God Sect and the Demon Immortal Alliance on this matter." The Northern Peak Immortal Emperor said in a deep voice:

"Yanxing, on this trip to the Longevity Gate, you can also probe the attitude of that white-robed cultivator."

"If the Foreign Demons truly invade, having one more powerful ally means one more guarantee."

"Understood." Yanxing Immortal Emperor nodded slightly.

Three days later, on the Qinglan Continent, at the Longevity Gate.

Li Zhangsheng still lay lazily on the rear mountain chair, holding a cup of immortal brew, his eyes slightly narrowed, enjoying the rare afternoon tranquility!

Since that day when he slew the Po-E Immortal Emperor, these days have been quite peaceful, with no one coming to disturb him!

"Master." Luo Chen's figure appeared outside the pavilion: "An Immortal Emperor has come outside, calling himself Yanxing Immortal Emperor of the Human Immortal Alliance, saying he came specially to apologize."

"Apologize?" Li Zhangsheng raised an eyebrow, the corner of his mouth curling into a playful smile: "The Human Immortal Alliance is quite perceptive; let him in."

Moments later, a figure stepped through the air and landed before the rear mountain.

The visitor was none other than Yanxing Immortal Emperor!

He wore simple green robes, his appearance refined and gentle, with a smile, gazing at Li Zhangsheng.

"I am Yanxing of the Human Immortal Alliance; I have come to see the Sect Master of the Longevity Gate." Yanxing Immortal Emperor slightly cupped his hands, keeping his posture very low.

Li Zhangsheng remained lying on the chair, merely turning his head slightly to glance at him, and said lightly: "You came to apologize?"

"Sect Master, earlier the Human Immortal Alliance sent people to invade, causing many offenses; I hope the Sect Master will forgive." As he spoke, Yanxing Immortal Emperor took out a storage ring from his sleeve and presented it with both hands,

"This is a small token of goodwill from the Human Immortal Alliance; I hope the Sect Master will accept it with a smile."

Li Zhangsheng casually flicked his hand, and the storage ring fell into his palm. A sweep of his divine sense revealed all the treasures inside at a glance!

The storage ring contained many supreme treasures and cultivation resources.

Li Zhangsheng raised his eyebrows slightly, somewhat surprised: "The Human Immortal Alliance is indeed generous."

"Sect Master, you jest." Yanxing Immortal Emperor smiled gently: "Forming a good relationship with a powerful figure like the Sect Master makes even a great gift worthwhile!"

Li Zhangsheng glanced at him and inwardly nodded.

This Yanxing Immortal Emperor is indeed a sensible person, far stronger than the previous Immortal Emperor who came—by who knows how many times!

"I'll accept these things." Li Zhangsheng casually placed the ring aside, then said: "Go tell your alliance master that I can let bygones be bygones, but there is one thing..."

His words paused, and he calmly gazed at Yanxing Immortal Emperor:

"My Longevity Gate does not provoke trouble, but neither do we fear it."

"If anyone else comes to our door seeking provocation, don't blame my subordinates for showing no mercy."

Yanxing Immortal Emperor's heart tightened, and he quickly said: "Sect Master, rest assured, the Human Immortal Alliance has absolutely no intention of offending."

"Our alliance master has strictly ordered all members not to approach the Longevity Gate's territory even half a step."

"Hm." Li Zhangsheng nodded with satisfaction, "That's good then. Anything else?"

The Flame Star Immortal Emperor pondered for a moment, then clasped his hands and said, "I have another matter, wishing to discuss it with the Sect Master."

"Speak."

"I wonder whether the Sect Master has ever heard of… Foreign Demon?"

Li Zhangsheng's wine cup in his hand paused slightly,

This name, he was not unfamiliar with; after all, he had encountered two of them!

"I've heard of it!" Li Zhangsheng said calmly, "What, is the Foreign Demon coming again?"

The Flame Star Immortal Emperor's expression grew solemn as he nodded, "News from the Source God Sect indicates that the Primordial Will has been in a state of unrest in recent years, seemingly sensing something."

"The only thing that can unsettle the Primordial Will is… the Foreign Demon!"

"The Primordial Will is uneasy?" Li Zhangsheng said, "Has it not arrived yet?"

"It hasn't arrived yet." The Flame Star Immortal Emperor smiled lightly, "But the Foreign Demon is an extradimensional evil clan; once it comes, the Immortal Realm will be ravaged, and then all living beings will not be spared."

"I tell the Sect Master this time in hopes that the Sect Master can be on guard!"

"Then you need not worry about it." Li Zhangsheng said calmly, "If they truly dare to attack, I will certainly not stand by idly. But I act only in my own way, unbound by any person or force."

"The Sect Master having such responsibility is a blessing to the Immortal Realm!" The Flame Star Immortal Emperor clasped his hands.

Li Zhangsheng waved his hand, "Alright, if there's nothing else, let's return."

"I take my leave." The Flame Star Immortal Emperor bowed again, turned, and prepared to depart.

"Wait." Li Zhangsheng suddenly spoke.

The Flame Star Immortal Emperor halted his steps and turned to look.

"Your Human Immortal Alliance…" Li Zhangsheng mused for a moment, "have you ever heard of a person named Su Jin?"

"Su Jin?" The Flame Star Immortal Emperor was slightly startled, thought for a moment, then shook his head, "I have never heard of such a name."

"Very well." Li Zhangsheng mused lightly.

"Then I take my leave!" The Flame Star Immortal Emperor clasped his hands.

Li Zhangsheng nodded…
