Chapter 544, Disciple Zheng Chi, greetings to the teacher! [6000 words long chapter, asking for monthly pass!]
"Senior brother?"
"What is happening?"
"Who exactly is this person?!"
Among those present, Zhang Jingshan, Gongyang Ye, Mu Chen, and other True Immortals, including Meng Qiu and Meng Huo and a group of Primordial Spirit Practitioners, were all taken aback.
The two factions were battling.
It turned out they were brethren?
Moreover, the Immortal Envoy called upon by Yu Fengzi, unexpectedly struck and killed Yu Fengzi. Such a 'backlash' was both shocking and puzzling.
However, older True Immortals like Ancestor Master Bai Luo and Qing Baizi, upon seeing the revealed visage of the Immortal Envoy Daoist Zuo Wang, had a drastic change in expression.
Gu Jing True Immortal couldn't help but exclaim, "Longevity Alliance Leader Zheng Chi Demon?!"
At this announcement,
Everyone was stunned.
"Longevity Alliance Leader?"
"Zheng Chi Demon?"
"Could this be the one who was eradicated root and branch thousands of years ago by our teacher – the leader of the Longevity Alliance?"
Mu Chen and others were shocked.
As newly risen True Immortals in recent years, the Longevity Alliance had already perished by the time they roamed the world. The seven Immortal Venerables were all slain by Qingjing Saint, their blood splattered across the heavens, a notable feat of war.
But the whereabouts of Longevity Alliance Leader Zheng Chi remained unknown, never to reappear.
Over time,
He was gradually forgotten.
Among those present, aside from a few older True Immortals, no one had ever seen the legendary Longevity Alliance Leader.
Unexpectedly, he had transformed,
Now appearing as the so-called 'Immortal Envoy' mentioned by Yu Fengzi and others.
Hearing the words of Gu Jing True Immortal now, they were understandably astounded.
Among the crowd,
Meng Huo was the first to recover, shouting vehemently, "So, this so-called 'Immortal Envoy' is actually the Zheng Chi Demon of old. This demon, having led the Longevity Alliance, committing countless atrocities, can be called the foremost demon in the world. Yu Fengzi and others allied with this demon, attempting to defame the Great Saint, their intention is heinous, and their crimes are unforgivable!"
His voice echoed all around,
Immediately stirring up waves.
The faces of Ancestor Master Bai Luo, Qing Baizi, and others changed dramatically as they glared at Daoist Zuo Wang, now known as Longevity Alliance Leader Zheng Chi, and shouted, "Zheng Chi Demon, how dare you impersonate an Immortal Envoy!"
They were truly enraged to the utmost.
This Immortal Envoy had transformed into the infamous Longevity Alliance Leader of old. Such a character, by association, brought them nothing but revulsion. Moreover, without the support from the 'Immortal Envoy', how could they stand against Qingjing Saint?
"Damaging others deeply!"
The five seasoned True Immortals were furious.
Zheng Chi, however, paid no attention.
He looked towards Daoist Qin Wei, seemingly waiting for something.
Seeing this, Daoist Qin Wei first addressed Zheng Chi, "The teacher is currently at Si Ming Peak; once I settle these matters here, I shall bring my fellow disciple to meet him."
"Teacher—"
Zheng Chi remained silent, but his eyes revealed an inexplicable depth, subtly nodding.
Daoist Qin Wei, seeing this, then turned to look at Ancestor Master Bai Luo and the others.
These five True Immortals did not recognize him today, but Daoist Qin Wei was very familiar with them. They had fought side by side in the past, but now they were at swords' points, which made him feel poignant, "My friends, you have caused great disaster, let us all go to Si Ming Peak to atone!"
These few True Immortals, claiming to be misled by others, launched an attack without investigation, clearly had ulterior motives, aiming to bring down Qingjing Saint.
Considering their past contributions, and having pleaded on their behalf, the teacher had not come personally, giving them one last chance. If they didn't take it seriously—
"Ha ha!"
"So profound a scheme. Your meticulous planning, isn't it just to kick us out of the Immortal Alliance? Unexpectedly, even Zheng Chi Demon is one of your people!"
"Very well!"
"If it's so, then we shall leave."
Ancestor Master Bai Luo laughed bitterly. With a wave of his large sleeve, his face showed a mocking expression, and he turned to leave. Qing Baizi and the others, with changing expressions, also mocked a few words and turned to leave.
"Alas!"
Seeing this, Daoist Qin Wei shook his head, unable to refrain from a deep sigh. Watching Ancestor Master Bai Luo and others leaving, he grabbed a Divine Fire Fan with one hand and reached into the Void with the other, instantly producing a green bamboo staff.
Ancestor Master Bai Luo and the others were instantly terrified—
"Quiet Bamboo Stick?!"
This shock was no minor matter.
As known, the Quiet Bamboo Stick was the signature Immortal Artifact of the Great Saint, having killed numerous demons, and even many of the seven 'Longevity Immortal Venerables' had perished under this stick.
Its fierceness was unparalleled.
Its infamy was immense.
"Escape!"
Ancestor Master Bai Luo and the others didn't dare to hesitate for a moment. With a leap, they scattered in all directions, attempting to disappear without a trace. But the Quiet Bamboo Stick was faster. Barely brought out, it hung in the air, radiating a clear light.
"Roar!"
"Roar!"
"Roar!"
Twelve Iron-Backed Centipedes, as large as mountains and resembling Ancient Heavenly Dragons, burst forth from the staff. They swept across the heavens with an immense array,
Directly blocking Ancestor Master Bai Luo and others.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
The five True Immortals collided with the Great Array, which didn't budge an inch. Instead, their strength was suppressed as they struggled to cope. Daoist Qin Wei stepped forward, holding the staff lightly, striking towards their back hearts.
Deliberately slow.
The five True Immortals instantly fell to the ground, their senses completely sealed, no longer able to resist.
"It's the Great Saint's Quiet Bamboo Stick!"
"So powerful. The five great True Immortals were so easily captured!"
All around were amazed.
Originally thinking that without the Great Saint intervening, it would be difficult to stop these five True Immortals from escaping. Yet, Daoist Qin Wei, using the Great Saint's artifact, swiftly captured them all.
"Divine Fire Fan."
"Quiet Bamboo Stick."
"What exactly is the relationship between this person and the teacher? And also, that Qing Yuan Daoist—"
"Si Ming Peak is clearly where the teacher is in seclusion, how has it become that Daoist's place?"
Zhang Jingshan and others were also full of doubts.
Seeing Daoist Qin Wei capturing Ancestor Master Bai Luo and others, unable to restrain himself any further, Gongyang Ye stepped forward and respectfully addressed Daoist Qin Wei, "This Fellow Daoist is courteous, I am Gongyang Ye, the sixth disciple of the Alliance Leader Pure Great Saint and Sect Master of the Five Fire Sect. Those Divine Fire Fan and Quiet Bamboo Stick in Fellow Daoist's hands, both treasures of our teacher, may I know how Fellow Daoist is related to our teacher—"
