152: The Immortal King of the West Arrives
The Kaoshan Sect moved its entire Sect to the Southern Immortal Region, and even occupied the former territory of the Heavenly Dao Academy.
The Heavenly Dao Academy held a transcendent position, with an inseparable relationship with the Five Great Immortal Regions.
The relationship between the various forces and the Heavenly Dao Academy was also extremely complex.
Because the Heavenly Dao Academy was suddenly annihilated, all parties were watching.
They wanted to find the culprit, and at the same time, the Heavenly Dao Academy's territory was a hot potato.
It could be said that whoever took control of this territory would be besieged by countless forces.
Now that the Kaoshan Sect directly took control, the South Immortal King had no objection.
But the other four Immortal King Regions, and countless other forces, would certainly not just stand by and watch.
After all, their respective forces all had Disciples cultivating at the Heavenly Dao Academy, even if they weren't the top Disciples of the major forces.
The loss was still significant.
The most important thing was that they could not save Face.
If the mastermind could not be found, the major forces in the Central Region would never give up.
Li Changfeng leisurely went to the South Immortal King's mansion as a guest, while the Sect Master and others were busy building the Kaoshan Sect.
The South Immortal King smiled widely: “Peak Lord Li, how is my tea?”
“This tea leaf is not easy to come by; it is Enlightenment Tea from Enlightenment Mountain.”
“Only ten catties of wet tea can be produced every thousand years, and the five Immortal Kings each get two catties.”
“This Enlightenment Tea can allow Cultivators to be closer to the Dao, thereby achieving a Breakthrough in their Realm.”
“If you like it, I can send a few catties to Peak Lord Li.”
“Anyway, I don't really like drinking tea, and wanting to Breakthrough my current Realm is not something Enlightenment Tea can achieve.”
Li Changfeng said indifferently: “Such precious tea, for the South Immortal King to give it to me, how embarrassing.”
“I wonder how much the South Immortal King plans to send? Although it is useless to me, the Disciples of the Kaoshan Sect can drink it.”
One moment he was saying how embarrassing it was, the next he was asking how much would be sent.
Only Li Changfeng could be so thick-skinned; if it were anyone else, the South Immortal King would have surely thrown them out and never indulged them.
But the problem was, the one who said this was Li Changfeng.
“I don't have too much in stock, I should still have a little over six catties, I'll give Peak Lord Li five catties.”
“Oh, and there's one more thing I forgot to tell Peak Lord Li before.”
“That is, the former site of the Heavenly Dao Academy is a hot potato.”
“All the major forces in the Central Region are watching it. Now that the Kaoshan Sect has taken control of that territory, I'm afraid it will cause no small amount of dispute.”
“Of course, I'm not afraid that the Kaoshan Sect won't be able to resist.”
“Mainly, I'm afraid Peak Lord Li will be endlessly troubled.”
Li Changfeng nodded; he had also considered this matter.
But since the Kaoshan Sect had come to the Central Region, it had to establish its prestige!
The former Heavenly Dao Academy was destroyed by his single palm strike.
He had some understanding of the Heavenly Dao Academy's transcendent status.
He destroyed the Heavenly Dao Academy, but offended all the major forces in the entire Central Region.
To stand firm in the Central Region, one could not be soft-hearted.
Li Changfeng was waiting; he wanted to wait for trouble to come knocking.
A small amount wouldn't do; it had to be a very important Central Region strongman.
Then, after easily dealing with them, it would make the major forces wary.
This could avoid future trouble.
Li Changfeng calmly said: “South Immortal King, what is your attitude?”
“As far as I know, South Immortal King, you also had Juniors cultivating at the Heavenly Dao Academy.”
“Have you not thought about avenging your Juniors?”
The South Immortal King smiled bitterly and shook his head: “I did think about it before, but not anymore.”
“Because after meeting Peak Lord Li, I learned a truth.”
“That is, in this world, there is always someone stronger, and always a higher Heavenly Dao.”
“One who can easily destroy the Heavenly Dao Academy must be an Immortal King Realm existence.”
“Perhaps even above the Immortal King Realm.”
“There is such a reclusive supreme strongman in the Central Region; it's better for me not to provoke him.”
“However, Peak Lord Li, you should be careful not to fall into a trap and be ensnared by that hidden person.”
Li Changfeng looked deeply at the South Immortal King. He knew that the South Immortal King already had some suspicions about him.
Otherwise, the South Immortal King would definitely not give up.
With the South Immortal King's strength, it was impossible for him not to know which strongmen were in the Central Region.
The Heavenly Dao Academy met its demise after a conflict with the Southern Region.
And the strongest in the Southern Region now was himself, so his suspicion was indeed the greatest.
Li Changfeng got straight to the point: “South Immortal King, you suspect that all of this was done by me, right?”
“Actually, it's fine to tell you, the Heavenly Dao Academy was indeed destroyed by me.”
“The Heavenly Dao Academy was too overbearing, actually wanting to attack the Southern Region.”
“A perfectly good Academy not doing its proper business, yet thinking of conquering the Southern Region—such malicious intentions are unacceptable.”
“So, I destroyed the Heavenly Dao Academy with one palm.”
“I am treating you as one of my own, which is why I am telling you all of this.”
“I hope, South Immortal King, you will not spread this.”
Hiss!
Although he had guessed it early, when Li Changfeng himself admitted it, the South Immortal King still took a deep breath. Even he couldn't do that.
He had known before that Li Changfeng was extremely strong, suspecting that Li Changfeng was an Immortal Emperor Realm existence.
As for the Black Robed Immortal King saying that Li Changfeng had surpassed the Central Region's limit, the South Immortal King didn't believe it.
In the South Immortal King's view, no matter how strong Li Changfeng was, he was only an Immortal Emperor.
And an Immortal Emperor was already the ceiling of combat power in the Central Region.
Even if the five Immortal Kings joined forces, they couldn't be Li Changfeng's opponent.
The gap between them and Li Changfeng was like five children holding wooden sticks confronting an adult man with a knife.
There was simply no comparison; an Immortal Emperor could cut down a whole group of Immortal Kings!
The South Immortal King swallowed hard and quickly said: “Peak Lord Li trusts me, which is why he told me everything.”
“I will naturally keep this secret and absolutely not speak nonsense.”
Li Changfeng took a sip of tea and said with a smile: “That's good. I consider you a good brother.”
“And what I hate most is a good brother stabbing me in the back.”
“I hope the South Immortal King doesn't do such a thing. I'm afraid I might go crazy and directly wipe out the Southern Immortal Region.”
Naked threat!
The key was that Li Changfeng actually possessed such strength.
The South Immortal King could only smile bitterly.
Just as he was about to speak, a guest arrived at the South Immortal King's palace.
The person who came was the West Immortal King, and his Face didn't look very good.
He glanced at Li Changfeng, and upon discovering he was merely a Body Integration Realm ant, he didn't pay any more attention.
He was just a little curious as to why the South Immortal King would sit with such an ant.
The West Immortal King said coldly: “South Immortal King, shouldn't you give me an explanation?”
“My nine hundred twenty-seventh generation grandson was cultivating at the Heavenly Dao Academy.”
“Yet he died under the attack of that unknown strongman. We had agreed before.”
“The Heavenly Dao Academy should be left as a ruin, and no one should develop or occupy it.”
“Now, a Sect from the Lower Realm has actually been arranged by you to the former site of the Heavenly Dao Academy.”
“This violates the agreement we made then. Could it be that South Immortal King, you want to provoke a war between the major Immortal Regions?”
“All the forces are watching the Heavenly Dao Academy. Aren't you going to say something?”
The South Immortal King said faintly: “This is Peak Lord Li of the Kaoshan Sect. It is the Kaoshan Sect that has taken control of the former Heavenly Dao Academy site.”
“You two have a good chat. Make sure to be calm and composed, and do not verbally provoke Peak Lord Li.”
