Who is this looking down on?
Regardless of whether it was Zhong Qing or Netherworld Monarch of Hellfire, the cultivation they had consistently displayed was that of the Quasi-Emperor Realm.
In Ye Qingcheng's view, for Netherworld Monarch of Hellfire to show such a formidable stance, the opponent's background must be extraordinary, and their strength was very likely that of an Emperor Rank expert.
The reason she was confident in competing with Zhong Qing was that she had once had a fortuitous encounter and obtained an immense fortune.
She could, with a Quasi-Emperor body, reverse-slay an ordinary Emperor Rank expert.
She could even contend with a One Tribulation Great Emperor!
From Quasi-Emperor to Emperor, in the Lower Realm, it was an insurmountable taboo.
In the entire Second Heaven, those who could cross this Realm to battle were rare throughout history.
And she was confident in slaying ordinary Great Emperors and contending with a One Tribulation Great Emperor; this alone destined her to surpass countless Prodigies throughout history.
It was also the reason she was confident she could always suppress Zhong Qing!
However, Zhong Qing had never given her an opportunity for a fair fight, which greatly frustrated her.
She had considered directly confronting Zhong Qing for a fight, but after some thought, she ultimately did not act on it.
After all, her purpose for this trip was to form a good relationship with Zhong Qing, not to create enmity.
Fortunately, heaven rewards those who strive.
Now, she had finally found an alternative opportunity to compete with Zhong Qing.
On the other side!
Netherworld Monarch of Hellfire cautiously observed his surroundings.
"Master, what should we do now?"
"Should we, perhaps, avoid their initial assault?"
Zhong Qing slowly shook his head: "When soldiers come, block them; when water comes, cover it with earth!"
"Let's first see who exactly is coming."
Their conversation further confirmed Ye Qingcheng's suspicions.
They must have been pursued by enemies, which was why they came here to seek refuge.
This made her lips curve into a smile, and her mood instantly brightened.
This was an excellent opportunity to bring Zhong Qing into the Liuguang Sect.
...
Time quietly slipped through their fingers, the sun completely set, replaced by the bright moon hanging high in the sky.
Under the bright moonlight, a figure streaked across the sky like a flash of lightning.
"They're here!"
Netherworld Monarch of Hellfire grew tense, his gaze fixed on the approaching figure.
Under his watchful eyes, Shen Wen paused in the sky a hundred zhang away, looking down at the three individuals.
Zhong Qing and Ye Qingcheng were completely ignored by him; two Quasi-Emperor Realm individuals simply didn't qualify to be noticed by him.
His gaze finally settled directly on Netherworld Monarch of Hellfire: "Nether Monarch Wang Yan, do you know your crime?"
This was Netherworld Monarch of Hellfire's true name.
Nether Monarch Wang Yan's eyes narrowed slightly, but he did not respond.
Instead, he immediately unleashed his Divine Sense, spreading it in all directions.
Upon seeing this, Ye Qingcheng, from a distance, felt a surge of Battle Intent within her.
The newcomer was indeed as strong as she had guessed; she couldn't see through him, but his unfathomable Aura exuded a unique pressure belonging to an Emperor Rank expert.
Her gaze burned as she looked at Zhong Qing, and she proactively spoke: "It seems you two have a grudge with him. How about it? Do you need my help?"
"To deal with him?"
An Emperor Rank expert was simply not something a Quasi-Emperor could contend with, but she believed she was no ordinary Quasi-Emperor.
With her strength, dealing with the opponent should not be difficult!
As soon as these words were spoken, before Zhong Qing could reply, Shen Wen in the sky above chuckled in anger.
A Quasi-Emperor Realm girl, opening her mouth to dismiss him, a Two Tribulation Emperor.
Was she treating him as a minor character?
He coldly snorted.
"Boastful! What standing do you have? How dare you be so presumptuous in front of this Emperor!"
As he spoke, a terrifying Aura unique to the Two Tribulation Great Emperor Realm directly erupted from him.
"Rumble..."
In an instant, the winds and clouds in the sky changed drastically, and immense pressure permeated downwards from the sky, like heavenly might, or divine wrath.
Under this terrifying might, Ye Qingcheng's eyes narrowed, her face changed, and she was instantly stunned on the spot.
"Two Tribulations? How could it be a Two Tribulation Emperor?"
In her opinion, Zhong Qing and Nether Monarch Wang Yan were merely in the Quasi-Emperor Realm, and even if they encountered an enemy pursuit, it would most likely be at the ordinary Great Emperor level, at most a One Tribulation Emperor.
Yet now, a Two Tribulation Emperor had appeared.
This made her heart sink, and the thought of using this opportunity to determine who was superior to Zhong Qing instantly dissipated.
With her current strength, she could indeed contend with a One Tribulation Emperor, but a Two Tribulation Emperor was simply not an opponent she could handle.
However, despite the shock in Ye Qingcheng's heart, she did not show much panic.
Don't forget, they were currently in the territory of the Liuguang Sect.
Even if the newcomer was very strong, the Liuguang Sect still had its Sect Master, a Three Tribulation Emperor, holding down the fort.
Thinking of this, she composed herself, stood up, and spoke to Shen Wen.
"I admit, Your Excellency, your strength is indeed formidable, but these two are honored guests of my Liuguang Sect."
"My Sect Master is even a Three Tribulation Great Emperor, and within the Sect, there are also dozens of Emperor Rank experts."
"If Your Excellency intends to harm them, please consider the consequences!"
Clearly, at this moment, the only thing she could rely on was the Sect.
However, upon hearing this, Shen Wen seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world.
"Trying to scare this Emperor with the Liuguang Sect? You've miscalculated!"
"The Liuguang Sect's strength is indeed not bad, but can it compare to the Shangqing Immortal Sect?"
As soon as these words were spoken!
Ye Qingcheng's heart was instantly filled with boundless shock waves.
Her face drastically changed, and her delicate features were filled with surprise.
In Ye Qingcheng's view, her own Sect was undeniably strong.
It could even be considered a local overlord-level existence.
But compared to the Shangqing Immortal Sect, they were clearly not on the same level.
Simply because the founding Old Ancestor of the entire Shangqing Immortal Sect was an Immortal Rank figure.
An existence that had left a profound mark in the ancient history of the Celestial Race in the entire Second Heaven.
Leaving aside that person, the entire Shangqing Immortal Sect's influence spanned across the five lakes and four seas.
Even some of their branch divisions were not comparable to the current Liuguang Sect.
However, very quickly!
Shen Wen once again threw out a piece of news that was simply earth-shattering for Ye Qingcheng.
"Moreover, your Liuguang Sect is now preoccupied with its own troubles. My Lord has already led people to subdue the Liuguang Sect."
"If they are sensible, then so be it, but if they are not, the destruction of the Liuguang Sect may be imminent."
As he spoke, his face was full of mockery.
"Even now, do you still believe that the Liuguang Sect behind you can stand up for you?"
At this moment, Ye Qingcheng's composed heart was completely in disarray.
If Shen Wen's presence made her feel immense pressure, then the news that he came from the Shangqing Immortal Sect and intended to plot against the Liuguang Sect filled her heart with despair.
She had never expected that the other party was not only after Zhong Qing and them but also after the Liuguang Sect.
At this moment, Jail Fire Underworld Lord Wang Yan spoke.
He said with a hint of doubt and confusion: "Shen Wen, are you here alone?"
Under the moonlight, in the sky, Shen Wen, who was ferociously powerful and whose Aura was as vast as an abyss, sneered.
"To take you down, this Emperor alone is enough!"
"Do you think you will be this Emperor's opponent?"
Countless years ago, Netherworld Monarch of Hellfire was not his opponent!
Moreover, the other party had cultivated in the Lower Realm and was afflicted with a curse, making it even more impossible for him to be his enemy.
Jail Fire Underworld Lord Wang Yan, who had been on tenterhooks, actually breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
He had originally thought that since the Shangqing Immortal Sect had discovered his and his Master's existence, they would definitely dispatch the true important figures of their clan. However, he never expected that they would only send a Two Tribulation Emperor.
At this moment, Jail Fire Underworld Lord Wang Yan's expression was extremely subtle.
He even wanted to shout loudly and ask: Is this looking down on someone?
