Immortal of the Nine Realms

Stone Dragon naturally paid no heed to Sun Yi’s threats. He slowly raised his hand, aiming it at Sun Yi and his companions.

Seeing that the other party was truly intent on killing them, a trace of panic inevitably flashed in Sun Yi’s eyes.

He hadn’t expected to encounter such danger in a place like this.

This might only be a split soul, but if it were to perish here, it would create a significant obstacle for his future. It could potentially even cut off his path to advancing to the Upper Three Realms!

At that moment, a figure walked into the hall. ”Fellow Daoist, hold on.”

Stone Dragon paused momentarily. Then, he slowly retreated to Fang Chen’s side, keeping his eyes on the newcomer while transmitting a message, ”Monarch Yan, this person’s sword intent is highly refined. I’m not confident I can defeat him. Should we summon the other three as well?”

Fang Chen looked at the newcomer, a hint of solemnity in his eyes. ”Li Changsheng...”

He cupped his hands in greeting. ”Greetings, Ancestor Li.”

”Li Changsheng!? You came just in time. The cultivators here have been outrageously bold and have killed two of my senior brothers. You must give me an explanation for this!”

As soon as Sun Yi saw Li Changsheng, his panic vanished without a trace, and his expression once again turned arrogant.

”Number one on the Emperor Ranking!?”

In the hall, aside from Fang Chen and Sun Yi, perhaps even Profound Immortal Xiu Ye had never seen Li Changsheng’s true face.

When Sun Yi called out his name, Xun Xiyin and the others were left utterly shocked.

The ancestor of the Kunlun Sword Sect, Li Changsheng? The number one on the Emperor Ranking? Why is he here? Has he been watching Sun Yi and his companions all along?

Thinking of that, everyone felt increasingly horrified, realizing that Sun Yi and his companions’ status and position were far higher than they had imagined. Otherwise, Li Changsheng wouldn’t treat them with such seriousness!

Li Changsheng glanced at Stone Dragon first. Then, he looked at Fang Chen before finally his gaze settled on Sun Yi. He smiled and said, ”Sun Yi, although you are a junior of the Sun family, and your father and I have met a few times, this place is still not your family’s territory. How can you act so recklessly here?”

The expressions of the group shifted slightly, and they instinctively turned their eyes to Sun Yi.

Sun Yi stared at Li Changsheng for a while before indifferently responding, ”Li Changsheng, don’t forget that you are just a son-in-law of the Long Family. You’d better be mindful of the difference in our statuses when speaking to me.

”Since the bet has not yet been decided, this place isn’t my family’s. But if I’m here to find a few Dao partners, would the Long family have any objections?”

”Naturally not.” Li Changsheng smiled and nodded. ”The Long family is not that petty. If any of the female cultivators from the Giant Immortal Sect catches your eye and is willing to accompany you back to the Prison Wind Lands for spiritual and physical dual cultivation, I will not stop them.”

Their conversation, though brief, caused a stir among the female cultivators from the Giant Immortal Sect in the hall. They looked at Sun Yi with a hint of admiration. The status of this young master was far more terrifying than they had imagined. His addressing of Li Changsheng by name was proof of this.

At the same time, Profound Immortal Xiu Yue entered the hall slowly with a woman by her side. Fang Chen recognized the woman as Su Mo, the Empress of the Giant Immortal Sect and the mother of Su Lingzhu.

The female cultivators from the Giant Immortal Sect quickly bowed in greeting. ”Empress.”

Su Mo lightly nodded, her gaze briefly flickering with surprise as she glanced at Shi Long. Afterward, she respectfully cupped her hands toward Li Changsheng. ”Greetings, Ancestor Li.”

Li Changsheng smiled softly. ”You don’t need to call me Ancestor. Strictly speaking, I am not older than you.”

Su Mo responded respectfully, ”In the cultivation world, the accomplished are considered the teachers. You are a Loose Immortal, so naturally, you are the elder.”

With a cold expression, Sun Yi pointed at Fang Chen and Stone Dragon and said, ”Empress Su Mo, you’ve come at just the right time. Today, the Giant Immortal Sect must give me an explanation for this matter. I don’t care who these two are, but if I don’t take their heads back today, I can’t guarantee what will happen to the Central Continent in the future.”

”This... I’m not qualified to intervene in the matters of Loose Immortals.” Empress Su Mo smiled bitterly and shook her head. ”Ancestor Li and this senior have the final say in this.”

”Senior?”

When Empress Su Mo referred to Stone Dragon as a senior, Sun Yi’s face changed slightly. Could this old man not be an Immortal King but actually a Loose Immortal?

”Interesting.” Sun Yi sneered. ”If you are truly a Loose Immortal, why would you listen to a sword cultivator’s commands? Do you really think sword cultivators are superior in the cultivation world?”

”If there is ever an opportunity in the future, you could visit the Prison Wind Lands and see for yourself. Sword cultivators like them are nothing but death warriors for noble families. In the cultivation world, their status is insignificant.”

The group of female cultivators was shocked. If sword cultivators could only be death warriors for noble families, how powerful must these so-called noble families be?

Stone Dragon looked at Li Changsheng with a half-smile. ”You are also a distinguished Loose Immortal, yet you tolerate such impudent young ones speaking nonsense before you?”

Li Changsheng smiled and replied, ”I’ve never seen you before. May I ask where you’re from?”

Stone Dragon chuckled. ”It’s been so long that I’ve forgotten. If you really must know... you can just think of me as a lonely soul, a wandering ghost that crawled out of a grave.”

”A wandering ghost?”

The cultivators present looked even more confused when they heard a Loose Immortal refer to himself in such a way.

Li Changsheng didn’t dwell on this matter and simply pointed at Sun Yi and the others. ”These young masters have quite the background. For the sake of the current situation, I kindly ask that you spare them and allow me to take them away.”

Before Stone Dragon could speak, Sun Yi coldly glared at Li Changsheng. ”Li Changsheng, do you treat my words as wind passing by your ears? You want to take me and my companions away without us being offered an explanation? What kind of reasoning is that? I, Sun Yi, a proud disciple of the Sun family and a disciple of the Great Sun Sect, must give way to a mere bug in this barren land?”

”Shi Long, how long do you think you can last in front of Ancestor Li?”

”It’s hard to say.”

”Why don’t you have a go with him.”

”Alright.”

Hearing the conversation between Fang Chen and Stone Dragon, everyone felt a chill run down their spines.

Before they could react, Stone Dragon, surrounded by overwhelming dark energy, punched Li Changsheng.

Li Changsheng raised his hand to block, but the punch sent him flying right out of the great hall.

Shi Long let out a loud laugh and chased after him.

Fang Chen smiled at Sun Yi. ”Alright, don’t you want an explanation? Since you’re the noble offspring of the Prison Wind Lands, I’ll give you a chance. You can team up and fight against me, this mere bug.”

Sun Yi’s face turned ashen.

From the two sword strikes Fang Chen had released earlier, he could tell he was no match for him. If he wanted to put up a fight, he would need to fuse with his remaining split soul.

”Damned sword cultivator, as expected of a brash fool. With such attacking power, we’ll have to avoid him for now. But... you won’t be arrogant for much longer.” Sun Yi’s expression turned bitter as he cursed inwardly, then turned his gaze to Su Mo. ”Su Mo, will you not interfere in this matter?”

Fang Chen chuckled. ”Su Mo, it’s better for the Giant Immortal Sect to stay out of this. Otherwise, neither side will have a good outcome.”

Su Mo, who had originally intended to say something to mediate, immediately closed her mouth. After thinking for a few breaths, she sighed lightly. ”Lord Fang, I really cannot allow Young Master Sun Yi to come to harm here. My apologies...”

Sun Yi’s lips curled up in a smirk as he looked at Fang Chen with mockery. What other tricks do you have?”
