Breaking through the imperial realm is imminent

At this moment!

All of Deng Zhong’s previous confusion and bewilderment were instantly resolved the moment he saw Zhong Qing and heard the Blood Corpse Old Ancestor repeatedly call him Revered Master!

He finally understood!

Why the Blood Corpse Old Ancestor had such a big reaction after hearing Zhong Qing’s name.

Why the Blood Corpse Old Ancestor said he wanted to use him to claim credit!

It turned out that this Four-Revolution Pseudo-Immortal was actually Zhong Qing’s Disciple.

Someone who could take a Four-Revolution Pseudo-Immortal as a Disciple, yet the Sect Master told him he was merely an Emperor Realm expert?

Deng Zhong’s scalp was practically exploding!

This intelligence was simply too outrageous.

At this moment, countless resentments arose in his heart.

That resentment came from the Shangqing Immortal Sect.

“Sect Master, you’ve truly harmed me!”

At this moment, Deng Zhong was wailing inwardly.

There was even a fleeting moment when he began to suspect if the Sect Master was using someone else to eliminate him!

…

At the same time!

Shangqing Immortal Sect.

Inside a magnificent grand hall.

Sect Master Ling Tian was discussing important matters with a group of high-ranking officials from the Sect.

“Hmm?”

Suddenly, Ling Tian frowned.

An inexplicable feeling of agitation arose in his heart.

“Sect Master, what happened?”

The Grand Elder, seated on the left below, asked in confusion.

Ling Tian looked into the distance.

He quietly said, “It seems someone is thinking of this Sect Master.”

“The Sect Master’s name resounds throughout the entire Second Heaven.”

“It’s not surprising for someone to think of you!”

Hearing this, Ling Tian’s doubts did not dissipate.

Instead, he pondered slightly, “Calculating the time, Nine Elder should have arrived at the Liuguang Sect’s territory?”

The Second Elder, on his right, chuckled lightly.

“It should be soon!”

“Perhaps he’s already on his way back, who knows.”

Ling Tian, however, was not as optimistic as him, and frowned, “I don’t know why, but I always have a feeling of unease in my heart.”

The Grand Elder shook his head: “Nine Elder’s Cultivation is that of a One-Revolution Pseudo-Immortal expert, and with all his trump cards, he can easily handle even Two or Three-Revolution Pseudo-Immortals. Now he’s merely going to deal with a mere Emperor Realm being. No matter how many tricks the opponent has, how can he be Nine Elder’s match?”

“Indeed!”

“The Sect Master is just too worried!”

“He’s just an Emperor Realm ant. Even if Nine Elder re-Cultivates and his Cultivation temporarily regresses, if he can’t even suppress such a person, then all these years of Cultivation have truly been wasted.”

An Elder joked.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the hall was lively.

Everyone was full of confidence in the Third Elder.

Seeing this, the Sect Master could only secretly think: Perhaps, he was indeed overthinking it.

…

However, the Third Elder, in whom the high-ranking officials of the Shangqing Immortal Sect were full of confidence, was currently kneeling before Zhong Qing, having been apprehended.

“Revered Master, this person is from the Shangqing Immortal Sect, known as Ninth Elder Deng Zhong of the Shangqing Immortal Sect.”

“This time, he came here, not knowing his own limits, and wanted to harbor murderous intent towards Revered Master.”

“Fortunately, Disciple discovered him early and captured him, thus preventing Revered Master’s peace from being disturbed.”

“Please, Revered Master, decide his fate!”

In Fuyun Courtyard!

The Blood Corpse Old Ancestor passionately recounted the general course of events to Zhong Qing.

Zhong Qing looked at the Blood Corpse Old Ancestor with some surprise.

This fellow!

When he was first taken as a Disciple, he looked half-dead.

After a few days apart, he seemed like a different person.

Now, the look in his eyes was filled with excitement and fanaticism.

He was too lazy to bother with the reasons behind it.

“Well done!”

Zhong Qing encouraged him.

“Earlier, this Revered Master destroyed one of your Half-Immortal Rank divine weapons.”

“Now, I shall return one to you!”

With a casual wave of his hand, he bestowed a top-tier Half-Immortal Rank weapon upon the Blood Corpse Old Ancestor.

This filled the Blood Corpse Old Ancestor with ecstasy.

His Blood Fiend Divine Weapon, though also of Half-Immortal Rank, was completely incomparable to a top-tier Half-Immortal Rank divine weapon.

A top-tier Half-Immortal Rank divine weapon was worth more than ten times his own divine weapon.

He knew that following Revered Master had a future.

But he never expected the future to be so vast and wide.

A top-tier Half-Immortal Rank divine weapon, given just like that, without even a blink.

He only regretted not meeting Revered Master sooner, causing him to waste countless years and time.

At this moment, Zhong Qing’s gaze fell upon Deng Zhong, who was kneeling before him.

His fingers continuously tapped lightly on the stone table in front of him.

He was contemplating how to deal with the other party.

At this time, Deng Zhong was also observing Zhong Qing.

He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, “Zhong Qing, I never expected you to be so deeply hidden.”

“All of us from the Shangqing Immortal Sect underestimated you!”

“But the power of the Shangqing Immortal Sect is beyond your imagination.”

“If you know what’s good for you, release me quickly and offer up the Heaven and Earth Xuan Jian. With me mediating for you, you might still have a glimmer of hope.”

“Otherwise, there is only a dead end.”

Zhong Qing ignored the other party’s clamor.

The grievances between the Shangqing Immortal Sect and him were destined to be irreconcilable.

Towards enemies, Zhong Qing had always held the philosophy of nipping them in the bud.

However, if a Pseudo-immortal Realm expert were to be killed just like that, it would be a bit too wasteful.

Perhaps he could be kept in captivity.

Until the day he brings his precious Disciple, Gu Chenxian, over, and lets him practice.

After all, Gu Chenxian has the Slayer God Bond.

The enemies he kills can not only enhance his own Cultivation but also return tenfold to him.

And this Slayer God Bond is exclusive to Gu Chenxian.

He can only passively receive the tenfold Cultivation returned from the enemies killed by this Disciple.

With this thought, he no longer had any intention of interrogating him.

Instead, he instructed the Jail Fire Underworld Lord Wang Yan, who had always treated himself as a servant, behind him.

“Take him away!”

“Guard him strictly; I will have a wonderful use for this person another day!”

“Yes, Revered Master!”

Jail Fire Underworld Lord Wang Yan looked at the Nine Elder kneeling on the ground, a complex expression flashing across his face.

He also came from the Shangqing Immortal Sect.

This Ninth Elder Deng Zhong, to his former self, was an incredibly important figure.

When the other party’s Cultivation was at its Peak, he didn’t even have the qualifications to meet him.

He never expected.

When they met again, their situations would be so different.

It truly made one sigh with emotion and lament.

As he led Deng Zhong away.

Zhong Qing’s gaze was profound as he looked towards the sky.

It seemed that the matter of advancing to the Emperor Realm could no longer be delayed.

Today, only an Elder from the Shangqing Immortal Sect came.

Another day, it might very well be the entire Shangqing Immortal Sect mobilizing.

This Sect has Immortal Rank experts.

With Zhong Qing’s current strength, facing an Immortal Realm, he didn’t know how much chance of victory he had.

But if he were to advance to the Emperor Realm.

Then, facing an Immortal Realm expert, his chances would undoubtedly be much greater.

Then, Zhong Qing instructed his two maidservants, Ye Ji and Fire Enchantress, to convey an order to all his Disciples and grand-Disciples.

To have all Emperor Realm Disciples who could undergo Tribulation report to him, and he would help them Undergoing Tribulation!

As soon as this order was issued!

Everyone in the entire Liuguang Sect immediately boiled over with excitement.
