How can this guy be so pretentious?

“Since that’s the case, then you can follow me.”

Seeing that the other party had made a Heavenly Dao oath, Zhong Qing lowered his guard and nodded faintly.

His mood also improved considerably.

The crisis with Dust Emperor was completely resolved.

Not only that, but he had also taken a Female Emperor for his own use.

Seeing Zhong Qing retract his Qi, and the sense of life-and-death crisis completely vanishing, Red Dust Empress completely slumped.

She felt a sense of relief, as if she had escaped a great calamity.

After the relief came a heart full of bitterness and vexation.

Before today, she had never imagined that one day she would become a subordinate follower of someone else.

What she had originally thought was a great Opportunity turned out to be a great tribulation for herself.

But now, the die was cast, the Heavenly Dao oath had been made, and there was no chance to go back on it.

She just didn't know what her future fate would be.

For a moment, she felt a sense of confusion about her future.

At the same time, with a thought from Zhong Qing, Phoenix Aotian, who was in the Small World, felt a dizzying sensation, as if the universe was shifting. When he looked again, in the space eighty thousand miles above the ground, besides his Master, there was only one exquisitely beautiful woman!

This woman was very strong.

On her, Phoenix Aotian felt a sense of unfathomable depth.

There was even the unique Origin Qi belonging to the Emperor Realm.

He immediately made a judgment in his heart.

This was, astonishingly, also an Emperor Realm expert.

But...

Where was Dust Emperor?

Why was Dust Emperor gone?

Had the conflict between Master and Dust Emperor begun?

He looked up at Zhong Qing.

Somewhat bewildered, he asked, “Master, where is that old Dust Emperor?”

Zhong Qing stood tall in the sky.

He softly said, “The matter of Dust Emperor has been concluded.”

“The grievances between you and him can be considered to have reached a Perfect conclusion today.”

These words caused endless waves to surge in Phoenix Aotian’s heart.

Didn’t Master’s words mean that Dust Emperor had been annihilated?

But, how much time had passed?

He just felt his vision go dark, and he was thrown into a strange world by his Master.

Had it been more than a quarter of an hour?

Dust Emperor was annihilated!

Even Phoenix Aotian, who had absolute confidence in his Master, now felt an extreme sense of unreality.

That was a Great Emperor!

At this moment!

While he was deeply shocked, he also couldn't help but feel a hint of regret and disappointment.

His strength was, after all, too weak.

If he hadn't been unable to bear that Imperial Might, wouldn't he have been able to personally witness the destruction of his lifelong enemy, and once again witness his Master's Divine Might?

Of course, more than that was excitement.

The existence of Dust Emperor was like a great mountain pressing down on his heart.

Whenever he thought of this life-and-death enemy, deep in his heart, he not only felt immense pressure but also boundless flames of hatred burning fiercely.

Now, this great enemy was dead.

All grievances dissipated at this moment.

And his spirit also became empty, completely released and liberated.

At this instant, Phoenix Aotian sighed with emotion: Indeed, being strong in power is not as good as having a deep background!

Following the right person is very important.

If he hadn't met Master Zhong Qing, he probably would never have been able to avenge himself.

After sighing, Phoenix Aotian’s gaze turned to Red Dust Empress.

“Master, who is this?”

“This is Master’s newly taken follower, Red Dust Empress!”

“In the future, if you encounter any problems in cultivation, you can ask her for more guidance.”

These words caused Phoenix Aotian’s recently calmed heart to once again churn with surging waves and ripples.

How long had he been away?

Master not only annihilated that old Dust Emperor but also subdued a Female Emperor expert.

How did he feel like he had become disconnected from the world after only a short quarter of an hour?

In a quarter of an hour, his Master not only dealt with Dust Emperor but also subdued a Female Emperor.

This... this speed and efficiency, wasn't it a bit too terrifying!

But upon closer thought!

When he first met his Master.

A weapon from a Scarecrow under his command could completely lift the curse on the entire Three-Eyed Phoenix Hound Clan.

A single Scarecrow under his command possessed such terrifying strength.

For Master to kill one or two Great Emperor experts, or subdue one or two Great Emperor experts, it didn't seem like anything to be surprised about.

One could only say that Master was too transcendent.

What were earth-shattering events in his eyes were probably just ordinary trifles in Master’s eyes.

Soon!

His gaze shifted, and he said to Zhong Qing.

“Master, now that the Dust Emperor calamity has been resolved, what’s next? Is it time to retrieve the Treasure Trove of the Fallen Immortal Secret Realm?”

In Phoenix Aotian’s heart, this Treasure Trove was already Master’s possession.

If he couldn't secure it beforehand, his heart would feel like a cat scratching, itching.

As soon as these words were spoken, they instantly seized Red Dust Empress’s attention.

After all, she had been drawn here precisely because of the emergence of the Fallen Immortal Secret Realm Treasure Trove.

Naturally, she was quite interested in this Secret Realm.

However, she had also secretly observed the Fallen Immortal Secret Realm.

Unless one could find three Secret Realm keys, entering it would undoubtedly be as difficult as ascending to the heavens.

Now, hearing Phoenix Aotian’s meaning, this esteemed adult seemed to have a way to obtain this Secret Realm Treasure Trove.

But, was that possible?

After all, that Ancient Great Formation could not be broken by brute force.

This point had been verified when the Fallen Immortal Secret Realm first appeared.

Three supreme Great Emperors working together could not break this Ancient Great Formation.

Supreme Emperors, those were Three Tribulation Great Emperors.

Figures who had reached the pinnacle on the Emperor Realm path, known as existences infinitely close to Immortals.

Even those three existences working together failed to break this Ancient Great Formation.

While this esteemed adult’s strength was indeed extraordinary, Red Dust Empress did not believe he could break this Ancient Great Formation by himself.

However, despite thinking this, her gaze immediately turned to Zhong Qing.

She wanted to hear what he would say.

Under their gazes.

Zhong Qing slowly said, “There’s no rush for the Fallen Immortal Secret Realm.”

“It shouldn’t be difficult to take it.”

“My purpose in coming to the Profound Domain this time is to take a True Disciple.”

“Let’s first see if this Secret Realm will attract my True Disciple.”

The System once said.

His trip to the Profound Domain this time would reveal information about a True Disciple.

However, he had been in the Profound Domain for some time now.

He had subdued the entire Profound Domain Yao Race, causing both the Human Race and the Yao Race to completely submit.

But regarding the True Disciple information, the System had given no hints whatsoever.

He speculated that this Secret Realm was very likely to attract the whereabouts of his future Disciple.

Waiting a bit wouldn’t hurt.

If he could acquire both the Secret Realm Treasure Trove and a True Disciple, making it a double blessing, that would be even better.

If he didn't get any True Disciple information, this Secret Realm wouldn't have any accidents under his nose either.

But these words, heard by Red Dust Empress, took on a different meaning.

Her gaze towards Zhong Qing became strange.

Leaving aside how difficult it was to enter the Fallen Immortal Secret Realm, even if one miraculously managed to enter, there were many dangers inside.

Yet, now Zhong Qing actually said that it wouldn't be difficult to take this Secret Realm?

This...

This esteemed adult, why... why was he so good at showing off!
