Translator: 549690339

Amidst his shock and suspicion, Li Cheng was discovered by the Third Protector.

Hearing the Third Protector’s words, Li Cheng remained calm, “A mere Heavenly Immortal? Is a Daluo Golden Immortal so impressive? If it weren’t for the shocking news that made me lose focus, would you have been able to find me?”

“Indeed intriguing, Third Protector, he knows you are a Daluo Golden Immortal in cultivation and can stay so composed!” said the Seventh Protector.

A smile appeared on the Third Protector’s face, “He is none other than Li Cheng, whose fame has recently echoed throughout the Southern Domain, the Eighteenth Elder of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect.”

“Oh? I have heard of this man; he also has the surname Li. Could he be the son of Li Baijie?” the voice of the Evil Master echoed.

Both the Third Protector and the Seventh Protector were taken aback, with the Seventh Protector saying, “Rumors have it that he has only cultivated for thirty years, and he’s not even over forty years old, could it be possible?”

The Third Protector shook his head, “Whether he is or isn’t, we’ll find out with a test of his blood!”

Before his words faded, the Third Protector had already vanished from his spot.

But Li Cheng was faster. The moment the Third Protector disappeared, Li Cheng had already traveled a distance of 129,600 li!

With both a Daluo Golden Immortal and a Golden Immortal Complete present, Li Cheng knew that once entangled, it would be very difficult for him to escape, so the sooner he could leave, the better.

When the Third Protector appeared where Li Cheng had just been, he looked somewhat surprised in the direction Li Cheng was leaving, “Immortal Spirit Step! Interesting, a mere Heavenly Immortal and he’s mastered the Immortal Spirit Step!”

Li Cheng used his Immortal Sense to observe and naturally heard the words of the Third Protector, but seeing the other’s face full of mockery, a bad feeling arose in his heart.

Sure enough, in the next moment, the figure of the Third Protector appeared beside Li Cheng!

Li Cheng raised an eyebrow and without hesitation, he dashed away again. He had been careless, his opponent was a Daluo Golden Immortal, and it was very likely he could master the Immortal Spirit Step!

He hadn’t expected to actually encounter such a Daluo Golden Immortal.

After a few steps, Li Cheng stopped again, taking out the Life and Death Demon Dragon Bow and the Arrow of Time, ready for battle. The moment his opponent appeared, he would be met with an arrow!

But, unexpectedly, the opponent did not follow!

Logically speaking, the use of the Immortal Spirit Step would leave behind spatial fluctuations, which would allow someone to follow along the trail, but the Third Protector did not come!

After waiting for a moment longer, still no one pursued.

Although puzzled, Li Cheng did not linger for long and once again used the Immortal Spirit Step, preparing to leave the Devil Abyss.

Before long, Li Cheng was already out of the Devil Abyss, rushing straight towards the Heavenly Mechanism Sect.

This trip had garnered very important information, and it was worth it.

Having landed on the Eighteenth Peak, Li Cheng released the Black and White Elders from the Purple Void Jade Emperor’s Tripod and asked, “Elders, what do you think?”

Earlier, he had specifically instructed the Tripod Spirit to let the two Elders see what was happening outside, so they were very clear about the situation that had unfolded.

Old Bai took a deep breath, “We should inform the high-ranking members of our sect… no, let’s inform the Sect Master first.”

This was a significant matter, and it was undoubtedly necessary to let the Sect Master know.

It wasn’t long before Feng Wanli and Qin Wuhun sensed the three’s presence and hurried over first.

Mu Xingzhi also arrived soon after, and seeing the grave expressions of the three, he couldn’t help but worry, “Senior Qi reported earlier that Uncle- Master and the two Grand Uncles went to the Devil Abyss. Did you discover any bad news?”

Black Elder glanced at Feng Wanli, then at Qin Wuhun, before shifting his gaze to Mu Xingzhi, “Sect Master, good news, the son of Grand Venerable Bai Jie is in our sect!”

Mu Xingzhi’s expression was one of astonishment; he then shook his head and chuckled, “Black Elder is joking. The Grand Venerable Bai Jie disappeared over ten thousand years ago. If there were any descendants, they would be over ten thousand years old. Our sect’s members of such an age are well known to Black Elder, and it couldn’t possibly be the son of the Grand Venerable.”

Black Elder nodded, “I also feel that way, so I think the people of Ten Thousand Evils Cave are spouting nonsense.”

White Elder waved his hand, “Let’s talk about the news that was discovered along with Li Cheng first. Xingzhi, prepare yourself; I’in afraid we may have to dissolve the Extinguish Evil Alliance!”

Mu Xingzhi and Qin Wuhun were both startled, and Qin Wuhun said, “What’s going on?”

White Elder sighed, “We knew nothing about Ten Thousand Evils Cave before! It’s hard for you to imagine that Ten Thousand Evils Cave actually has many Golden Immortals who are Complete, and even a few Daluo Golden Immortals!”

“With such a lineup, even if the many powerhouses of the Southern Domain join forces, it is akin to sending ourselves to our doom; therefore, we should dissolve it!”

Mu Xingzhi’s brows were tightly furrowed; this was too unexpected!

Qin Wuhun, however, raised an eyebrow, “Impossible right? If that’s the case, why would Ten Thousand Evils Cave need to kill all the scouts and then go into hiding? Just a single Golden Immortal who is Complete could take on the alliance; they wouldn’t have enough people for him to kill!”

“And how can Ten Thousand Evils Cave have so many powerhouses?”

This news was indeed hard to believe; the Kunlun Realm was hiding many Golden Immortals who are Complete and even a few Daluo Golden Immortals?

Li Cheng took over the conversation, “Ten Thousand Evils Cave is hiding because there are peerless powerhouses in the Southern Domain that we don’t know about. Once their Golden Immortals and Daluo Golden Immortals act rashly, they will surely draw these hidden entities out. So, their Evil Master has ordered them to first go into hiding, avoiding a conflict with the alliance.” “Indeed, once a battle ensues, our alliance will be destroyed in an instant, and then, the hidden powerhouses will certainly make a move. That could spell the end for Ten Thousand Evils Cave, but it would also be a disaster for the Southern Domain,” said White Elder.

Qin Wuhun was completely bewildered, “Are the waters of the Southern Domain this deep? It’s quite frightening!”

Feng Wanli took a deep breath and nodded in agreement, “You’re only realizing this now? I’ve felt it long ago!”

Li Cheng continued, “We had previously guessed that the Evil Master might be at the Immortal Monarch or Immortal King realm, but he was personally confined in the Underworld Dungeon by Grand Venerable Bai Jie, so he must be an Immortal Emperor!”

This statement caused Qin Wuhun and Feng Wanli’s eyelids to twitch uncontrollably. An Immortal Emperor was trapped in Devil Abyss?

Without Grand Venerable Bai Jie, who could suppress this Immortal Emperor if he escaped?

The danger was too great; the Kunlun Realm was too dangerous!

“Earlier you mentioned that the son of Grand Venerable Bai Jie was at Heavenly Mechanism Sect? What’s that all about?” Qin Wuhun asked.

Li Cheng replied, “The seal that confines the Evil Master can be undone with the blood of Grand Venerable Bai Jie’s son, so for years, Ten Thousand Evils Cave has been secretly searching for him, and now, they’ve targeted Heavenly Mechanism Sect.”

As he spoke, Li Cheng looked towards Mu Xingzhi, who shook his head repeatedly, “Junior Sect Uncle, it’s impossible. Everyone knows that before Grand Venerable Bai Jie disappeared, he indeed had a newborn child, but it has been over ten thousand years till now!”

After a pause, Mu Xingzhi suddenly smiled, “As the saying goes, ‘A tiger fathers no dogs.’ The son of the Grand Venerable would surely possess extraordinary talent. In our sect, Junior Sect Uncle, your talent matches the most, only the age doesn’t line up!”

Li Cheng was astonished; what did this have to do with talent?

Shaking his head with a smile, Li Cheng continued, “Our sect hasn’t seen anyone ascend for over ten thousand years, and according to those from Ten Thousand Evils Cave, it’s because the Heavenly Mechanism Sect in the Immortal World reached some agreement with Grand Venerable Bai Jie to conceal his son’s identity. What do you think?”

Mu Xingzhi was taken aback and after a long while responded, “So the Immortal World sects are preventing our ascension to conceal someone’s identity? If that’s the case, it must be that the powers of the Immortal World can detect the son of the Grand Venerable, and indeed, the son of the Grand Venerable is in our sect, so they simply prevent everyone in the sect from ascending!”

“This way, should the Grand Venerable’s son really appear one day, he would surely be cursed to death by the Loose Immortals of the sect, as it’s because of him that most became Loose Immortals,” Mu Xingzhi added.

Feng Wanli said in a teasing tone, “I think those who would be cursed should be the Heavenly Mechanism Sect in the Immortal World, because they are the ones who made the agreement with the Grand Venerable. However, all this cannot be confirmed as true or false, it seems like we’re overthinking.”

Mu Xingzhi nodded, “I was just speaking off the cuff. What is most pressing now is the alliance. We indeed need to convince everyone to dissolve it, otherwise, it will become a disaster for the Southern Domain.”
