Senior, please!

Sect Leader Zun Tianyu’s body trembled when he heard this.

In fact, from the very beginning, they had already seen that Xu Qianfeng, no matter his stance or posture, seemed to be deferring to that young man.

But they simply couldn’t imagine who, besides a True Immortal Ancestor, could make Xu Qianfeng treat him with such deference.

Especially since Zhong Qing looked unremarkable at first glance—well, he couldn’t be called entirely unremarkable, at least his appearance was quite outstanding, but among figures of this caliber, how many had poor appearances?

His cultivation level still appeared to be only that of a Great Emperor; although there might be a reason for hidden cultivation, neither his temperament nor a rough estimate of his bone age suggested he was very old.

Could he be the son of a big shot from the Upper Realm?

But even so, the Four Great Immortal Sects also had Upper Realm backgrounds, and as a Sect Master, Xu Qianfeng wouldn’t be so respectful, would he?

As the two Great Immortal Sect Masters were puzzled, Xu Qianfeng attacked again.

This strike, carrying the boundless might of the Yuhua Cave Heaven, crashed fiercely onto the chaotic star river at the entrance of the Shangqing Cave Heaven!

At the moment of impact, there was no deafening roar, nor was there any world-destroying fluctuation.

But invisibly, some terrifying and boundless aura seemed to shatter, reverberating in the hearts of all living beings within thousands of miles.

It was as if the world itself was emitting some kind of mournful cry.

The next moment, as if a release after a long suppression, an unimaginably terrifying roar, like the violent tremor of the world’s creation, erupted all at once.

The violent aftershocks seemed to overturn the world; wherever they touched, mountains, rivers, and the earth instantly turned into dust, vanishing without a trace.

Countless onlookers at the edge of the battlefield were forced to retreat continuously, only stopping after retreating several million miles.

Some who were slightly weaker in strength, below Seventh Revolution, retreated a bit slower and were directly shaken to the point of bleeding from all seven orifices; if not for their Pseudo-Immortal physique, they would have died instantly.

And with such a terrifying strike landing, the entrance to the Shangqing Cave Heaven finally couldn't hold on; chaotic energy scattered, and nebulae shattered.

The layers of mountains and rivers hidden behind it, the immortal realm of the cave heaven surrounded by immortal light, finally revealed their true appearance.

Launching this strike by drawing upon the power of the cave heaven from hundreds of millions of miles away, in the past, Xu Qianfeng would have probably been severely injured by the backlash, but at this moment, his expression was normal, he retracted his aura, turned around, and cupped his hands towards Zhong Qing.

“The entrance to the Shangqing Cave Heaven has been breached, please enter, Senior!”

Under that strike just now, the Shangqing Immortal Sect disciples were also shaken away by the aftershocks, all severely injured, and the Yuhua Immortal Sect’s Grand Elder and others were able to free their hands, standing on both sides of the entrance, bowing and saluting Zhong Qing in welcome.

“Please, Senior!”

With numerous strong individuals speaking in unison, their shouts echoed throughout heaven and earth, like a great bell, making everyone’s hearts buzz.

At this moment, countless people were dumbfounded.

Although they had guessed something when they saw Zhong Qing being escorted by the Yuhua Immortal Sect disciples earlier.

But even so, at this very moment, seeing the many powerful individuals of the Yuhua Immortal Sect bowing and addressing Zhong Qing as 'Senior' left them speechless with shock.

To the people of the Second Heaven, the Four Great Immortal Sects were not just simple hegemonic forces.

Having ruled and dominated the Second Heaven for countless years with unquestionable authority, the power and supreme majesty of the Four Great Immortal Sects had deeply permeated the hearts of every living being in the Second Heaven.

The Four Great Immortal Sects were supreme and unshakeable existences.

This was a deeply ingrained concept for countless living beings.

And at this moment, the supreme Immortal Sect powerhouses bowed to a young man.

This scene was unimaginable even in a dream.

Even Sect Leader Zun Tianyu and Xiang Wuxia at the edge of the battlefield were stunned.

Among the onlookers in the distance, Meng Gujun was completely dumbfounded.

What’s going on?

Xu Qianfeng called that Zhong Qing 'Senior'?

How could an outsider receive such reverence from the Yuhua Immortal Sect?

Recalling his previous thoughts, and the words spoken by Liu Nian and Ling Yue’er.

Meng Gujun only felt his face burning.

At this moment, he seemed to understand why Xu Qianfeng, after knowing, didn't attack Liu Nian and Zhong Qing, but instead became angry and ashamed with him.

He just wondered if it was still too late to apologize now?

Regardless of Meng Gujun’s shock and internal struggle.

As the Yuhua Immortal Sect disciples lined up in welcome, Zhong Qing’s expression was calm, his hands behind his back, and he stepped forward confidently, being the first to enter the Shangqing Cave Heaven.

No matter what was involved, or how others reacted.

Today, he was here to destroy the Shangqing Immortal Sect.

After such a long entanglement between the two sides, it was time for it to end.

Upon entering the Shangqing Cave Heaven, there was no overwhelming obstruction by a large force as imagined.

What met their eyes was emptiness, instead, it seemed to be a strangely eerie silence.

The Grand Elder of the Yuhua Immortal Sect, who led the other powerhouses in, frowned.

“What trick is this fellow Ling Tian playing?”

Xu Songnian behind him said, “Perhaps all the powerful individuals within the sect have just been sent out, and the remaining small fry are powerless even with the cave heaven’s power, so Ling Tian has already given up?”

Xu Qianfeng slowly shook his head.

“He’s not someone who gives up so easily.”

Just then, a chilling laugh rang out.

“You are right.”

“Indeed, only your opponent understands you best.”

Everyone trembled at the sound and quickly looked towards where the voice came from.

They saw a figure slowly flying from the depths of the Shangqing Cave Heaven, amidst the rolling peaks, pavilions, and magnificent palaces.

Who else could it be but Ling Tian?

However, Ling Tian at this moment seemed somewhat different from before.

He didn’t emit even a trace of aura, so much so that only when he flew closer and spoke did everyone notice his presence.

Moreover, he just stood there, yet he always gave people a flickering, indistinct feeling, as if he were just an illusion.

Xu Qianfeng frowned, staring at Ling Tian, a slight ominous premonition rising in his heart.

“Ling Tian, what have you done?”

Ling Tian, however, ignored Xu Qianfeng and looked at Zhong Qing instead.

When his gaze fell upon Zhong Qing, Ling Tian’s expression twisted for a moment, and a complex emotion flashed in his eyes.

“But speaking of it, as an opponent, I don’t understand you at all.”

“Zhong Qing.”

“Rather, it’s precisely because this Sect Master misjudged you that my Shangqing Immortal Sect has fallen to such a state.”

“This is this Sect Master’s fault.”

Zhong Qing said nothing, merely looking at Ling Tian quietly.

And Ling Tian murmured.

“This Sect Master truly couldn’t have imagined that a figure like you actually came from the Lower Realm.”

“No… you definitely aren’t from the Lower Realm, you came from above, who exactly are you? Why do you want to oppose my Shangqing Immortal Sect?”

But before Zhong Qing could answer.

He seemed to be talking to himself, then continued.

“But none of that matters anymore.”

“What matters is that today, now, you have entered my Shangqing Cave Heaven.”

“Then, this Sect Master cannot let you leave again!”
