Chapter 26: with translation of chapter title

"Sir, spare my life, sir, spare my life……"

The Netherworld Emperor desperately begged for mercy!

There was nothing to be done; even though he was an Emperor Realm, facing death, he was still scared.

"Oh? Why should I spare your life?" Li Zhangsheng said leisurely.

If I weren't here today, Longevity Sect would surely be ruthlessly trampled by this person a few times, and then they would brazenly take away the insight steles left by my seven disciples!!

Li Zhangsheng also understood that in the world of cultivation, the weak are prey to the strong; when a sect falls, it is inevitable that other forces will divide and annex it!

After Yang Xuanji's emperor soul was depleted, other forces assumed Longevity Sect had completely declined, so it was no surprise that someone would come to seize its resources by force!

But the problem is……now I'm strong and you're weak!

So, I have to trample you!

"Sir, I know I was wrong; spare my life, as long as you let me go, I am willing to offer all the resources of the Netherworld King Sect to Longevity Sect." the Netherworld Emperor said anxiously.

After witnessing Li Zhangsheng's methods, in his presence he could not even muster the slightest thought of resistance!

What a joke—he can crush my incarnation with bare hands; what's the point of struggling!

"Hmm, very sincere……but……if I kill you, aren't the resources of the Netherworld King Sect all mine anyway?" Li Zhangsheng said lightly.

Oh, right!

What a simple principle!

The Netherworld Emperor shook his head again; what's right, what's wrong—now it's others who want to kill you!

"Then, sir……how……what must I do for you to let me go?" the Netherworld Emperor asked anxiously.

He swallowed his saliva; he had never felt death so close before!

He could intuitively sense that as long as Li Zhangsheng lightly brushed his sword, he would surely have to start over.

"Now it's you begging me to spare your life; you have to think of a way to move me yourself—why should I come up with it?" Li Zhangsheng said with a playful tone.

"Sir, oh no, senior, spare my life; I can work for you, senior—sometimes you can't do everything yourself personally, I can take care of it!"

"I can be your enforcer, senior; I'm quite good at fighting—aside from someone like you, I alone can take on two or three."

The Netherworld Emperor said all that in a string.

"Sounds not bad, but how can I trust your loyalty?" Li Zhangsheng said, smiling again.

"I can sign a soul contract; if I betray my senior, let me be struck by heavenly thunder and suffer myriad pains to death!"

In the face of death, the Netherworld Emperor's mind flashed with brilliance, uttering every idea that could keep him alive!

"Hmm, sounds okay." Li Zhangsheng nodded.

He felt that Longevity Sect now, aside from himself, lacked even a single Emperor Realm cultivator, which was rather unimpressive!

Recruiting an Emperor Realm cultivator to guard the gate and serve as a facade would also be quite good.

Moreover, this Netherworld Emperor hasn't caused any substantial loss to Longevity Sect, so sparing his life isn't a big deal.

"Thank you, senior, for the grace of sparing my life; thank you, senior, for the grace of sparing my life." the Netherworld Emperor, like a survivor of a calamity, frantically thanked Li Zhangsheng for sparing his life, while secretly letting out a sigh of relief!

Phew!

Finally, no need to die!

How come the more I live, the more I fear death!

"Hmm, let's sign the soul contract!" Li Zhangsheng nodded, and at the same time put away his sword.

I originally wanted to revisit the feel of this sword today.

Too bad, I didn't get to use it!

Afterward, the Netherworld Emperor and Li Zhangsheng signed the soul contract; immediately afterward, he handed Li Zhangsheng a wooden token,

"Senior, this is the contract token."

"As long as I later do something that disappoints my senior, my senior only needs to lightly crush the token, and my soul will shatter and dissipate like smoke."

"Hmm." Li Zhangsheng lightly nodded and put the token away.

He had seen others sign soul contracts before, knew this was the procedure, and the Netherworld Emperor was not faking it!

Of course, Li Zhangsheng also wasn't afraid of him faking it!

"Let's go, follow me back to Longevity Sect."

"Oh right, pack up the resources from your Netherworld King Sect's warehouse as well; you know, our Longevity Sect isn't exactly wealthy right now." Li Zhangsheng said.

"Yes, yes!" the Netherworld Emperor nodded repeatedly.

"Give me a quarter hour to arrange the Netherworld King Sect's aftermath; I'll wait for you in the plaza, hurry up and pack." Li Zhangsheng said, and then vanished.

The Netherworld Emperor wiped the sweat from his forehead!

Immediately afterward, he flashed onto the main hall.

"Sect Master, you're back?" the Netherworld King Sect's Grand Elder, seeing the Netherworld Emperor appear in the main hall, immediately stepped forward smiling to ask: "Sect Master, do you know whether you've brought back those seven insight steles from Longevity Sect?"

"I didn't bring back a thing!" the Netherworld Emperor, having pent up anger, unleashed it on the Grand Elder; after a moment, he then said: "From now on, you are the Sect Master of the Netherworld King Sect; I must go on a distant journey."

"Huh?" the Netherworld King Sect's Grand Elder, hearing this news, was also filled with trepidation: "Sect Master, where are you going, and will you return?"

The Netherworld Emperor glanced at him: "What, you mean……you really don't want me to come back?"

"No, this old one wouldn't dare!" the Netherworld King Sect's Grand Elder trembled.

"Enough talk, I'm leaving!" the Netherworld Emperor's form flickered, he arrived at the Netherworld King Sect's warehouse, swept away everything inside, then flashed to the plaza.

On the plaza, Li Zhangsheng stood with his hands behind his back, "All arranged?"

The Netherworld Emperor nodded, "All arranged, senior!"

"Hmm, then let's go!" Li Zhangsheng took a step, and took the Netherworld Emperor with him as they vanished.

A moment later, the two appeared before the mountain gate of Longevity Sect!

This maneuver left the Netherworld Emperor stunned again!

Well, this is... long-distance instant transfer?

Alright, an eye-opener!

"Senior, this is all the resources of our Netherworld King Sect; please take a look!" Netherworld Emperor handed the storage ring in his hand to Li Zhangsheng, then cautiously asked: "Senior, what should I do in the Longevity Gate from now on?"

Li Zhangsheng took his storage ring, gave it a casual scan, then said: "From now on, you'll stay here and guard the gate for me!"

"Guard... guard the gate?" Netherworld Emperor was a bit at a loss.

"What? Not willing?" Li Zhangsheng frowned slightly.

"Willing, willing!" Netherworld Emperor nodded repeatedly, smiling: "Guarding the gate is great, guarding the gate is great!"
