Chapter 90 - 90 Are You Going to Deceive the Master and Destroy the Ancestors? (Please Subscribe) !
The eight great cities surrounding the Taoist Mysterious Sect, to the north is Kan City, where at this moment, a large green arrow pointed straight to the city center.
Li Cheng’s eyes shone with delight; finally, another disciple that met the requirements!
Feng Wanli, who was pressing for the last line of the poem, saw Li Cheng staring at Kan City with a smile, and shook his head slightly, “This is Kan City, nothing interesting there. Let’s continue with our poetry problem!”
Despite being dozens of miles away, Li Cheng could clearly see the streets lined with vendors bustling with people, a scene of extraordinary liveliness.
Countless fluctuations of spiritual energy filled the city, all emanating from the goods sold by the vendors.
“With the Great Hundred Sects Conference fast approaching, I bet the prices for those heavenly and earthly treasures they’re selling are much higher than usual, right?” Li Cheng asked.
Feng Wanli shook his head, “I haven’t browsed around, so 1 wouldn’t know!”
Already at the Complete Heavenly Immortal realm, it was hard to find anything of use to him here.
Li Cheng looked suspiciously at Feng Wanli, “You pushed for the Great Hundred Sects Conference to be held early, not just for the excitement?”
“For the Immortal Mansion, remember?” Feng Wanli said with a chuckle.
“Your laugh seems a bit forced. It’s about time now, aren’t you going to spill it?” Li Cheng stared at Feng Wanli as if trying to read something from his face.
Feng Wanli grew silent, his expression changing over and over, until finally, through gritted teeth, he said, “Alright, actually…”
“I’ll take a stroll in the city, you go back first!” Li Cheng flew off, heading straight for Kan City.
Feng Wanli’s expression froze!
Seriously? Just when I had braced myself to tell you, you don’t listen again?
1 had deliberately left one line of the poem unsaid, and now this. Frustrating, truly frustrating!
Feng Wanli gritted his teeth, wondering as a Complete Heavenly Immortal, if staying with Li Cheng for too long would destabilize his Dao heart.
With a sigh, Feng Wanli put away his flying warship and, with a flicker of his body, followed after Li Cheng.
Li Cheng entered the city, concealing his aura as he walked unhurriedly toward the direction indicated by the green arrow.
Feng Wanli caught up, walking to Li Cheng’s left, “You don’t seem like you’re out for a casual stroll; you look like you have a purpose!”
“What do you think?”
Feng Wanli smiled, “Did you discover something?”
Li Cheng smiled without saying a word, continuing on.
“Li Cheng, considering our great relationship, won’t you give me the remaining line?” Feng Wanli said with anticipation.
Li Cheng walked into a tavern and casually chose a seat by the window, taking an interested look through the window at the teeming streets.
Feng Wanli, having no choice, sat down opposite Li Cheng, “Why come to a place like this? I brought Immortal Brew, why don’t we have a hearty drink back at the sect?”
Li Cheng glanced at Feng Wanli, “No wonder you’ve been a Complete Heavenly Immortal for ten thousand years. If you got out more, you’d probably have stepped into the True Immortal Period by now!”
“Initial stage, middle stage, late stage, peak, complete—five minor realms—I finished them in a little over ten thousand years, that’s already quite fast, okay?” Feng Wanli said speechlessly.
Li Cheng’s mouth curled slightly as he crossed his arms over his chest, simply watching Feng Wanli.
Feng Wanli’s face flushed red, “Alright, compared to you, fast is of no use.”
“Order some dishes!” Li Cheng said.
“Here? You should at least try some Spirit Delicacies! This is all mundane stuff,” Feng Wanli exclaimed with wide eyes.
Li Cheng still wore a smile but remained silent.
“Fine! Waiter, bring one of each signature dish, and a jug of every wine!” Feng Wanli called out.
This statement caused all the people in the tavern to turn their heads sideways.
Feng Wanli casually glanced over and said, “The whole place, it’s on me!”
Everyone in the tavern was overjoyed and raised their cups to Feng Wanli as a gesture of thanks.
With a smile on his face, Feng Wanli nodded to everyone before turning to Li Cheng, “Actually, the reason 1 pushed for the Hundred Sects Conference to be held ahead of time was to invite you to the Taoist Mysterious Sect.”
“After coming out of that Natural Array, you were not going to come, were you? So, I thought of the Hundred Sects Conference. I knew you would definitely come, since with your Alchemy Dao skills, the Heavenly Mechanism Sect would certainly beg you to attend.”
Li Cheng could tell that this guy was telling the truth.
“Why do you so desire me to come to the Taoist Mysterious Sect?” asked Li Cheng.
To such lengths to get him to visit the Taoist Mysterious Sect — the Hundred Sects Conference being moved forward — Li Cheng became curious. What was this guy up to?
Feng Wanli’s expression turned solemn, and he effortlessly formed an Immortal Binding Seal to prevent eavesdropping before saying, “I’m asking you to help me kill someone!”
Li Cheng looked at Feng Wanli, taken aback. This guy seemed to be serious.
After a moment’s thought, Li Cheng understood. Feng Wanli had been defeated by him and, in his eyes, Li Cheng was stronger, which was why after coming out, he kept inviting Li Cheng to the Taoist Mysterious Sect.
“With your strength, you still need help? Why not also invite those Confucian Immortals?” Li Cheng asked.
Feng Wanli shook his head repeatedly, “They are from the Eastern Region. This is a matter of our Southern Domain, and if they get involved, it’ll cause trouble.”
“Who do you want to kill? That it has escalated to an affair of the Southern Domain?” Li Cheng said with a smile.
Feng Wanli looked towards the Taoist Mysterious Sect direction, “I want to kill an old ancestor of my sect.”
Spurt!
Li Cheng spat out a mouthful of tea, thankful that the drinks hadn’t arrived yet, because if he’d choked on the alcohol, with high cultivation or not, it wouldn’t have been pleasant.
“Did I hear you wrong? You want to betray and exterminate your own master?” Li Cheng exclaimed in astonishment.
Feng Wanli rolled his eyes, “That old ancestor secretly joined the Ten Thousand Evils Cave. That’s bad enough, but he has also harmed who knows how many disciples of our Taoist Mysterious Sect. Tell me, shouldn’t he be killed?”
Li Cheng smiled, “A few tribulations as a Loose Immortal? And you can’t handle it alone?”
“Eighteen Tribulations!”
The smile froze on Li Cheng’s face, and he scratched at the corner of his mouth, “The Taoist Mysterious Sect is really fierce, eighteen tribulations…”
Feng Wanli nodded, “The Ten Thousand Evils Cave has many secret techniques that are harmful to others but beneficial to oneself. No doubt, he joined the Ten Thousand Evils Cave for such secret techniques, and moreover, he used those techniques to raise his cultivation to the level of eighteen tribulations.”
Li Cheng pondered, “Against sixteen tribulations as a Loose Immortal, 1 am confident, but eighteen tribulations is a bit uncertain.”
Li Cheng had seen the Black and White Elders in action. Their strength as sixteen tribulations Loose Immortals, in Li Cheng’s opinion, meant he could win confidently in a one-on-one fight.
But facing an eighteen tribulations being, it really wasn’t certain.
“To directly confront him, of course, is not an option. I’m afraid I couldn’t block even two or three of his moves, and maybe both of us would end up being pulled in to cushion his fall. But with the assistance of the formation from my Taoist Mysterious Sect, there would be no problem,” Feng Wanli said.
Seeing Li Cheng silent, Feng Wanli worried he might refuse, and gritted his teeth, “Your Heavenly Mechanism Sect has also lost many strong cultivators to the people of the Ten Thousand Evils Cave. That old ancestor of mine is surely complicit!”
“Moreover, as far as I know, no one from your Heavenly Mechanism Sect has ascended for ten thousand years, and one of the reasons is that the Ten Thousand Evils Cave has secretly killed many of your Tribulation Crossing cultivators.”
Li Cheng frowned slightly, “The Ten Thousand Evils Cave couldn’t possibly kill all the Tribulation Crossing cultivators of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect. You say their interference is one of the reasons, what else could there be?”
As one of the top ten sects, the Heavenly Mechanism Sect had a long heritage, and it was very abnormal that no one had ascended in ten thousand years.
But Li Cheng had not paid attention to the reasons behind this issue before, and the upper echelons of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect also tended not to discuss it.
Feng Wanli’s face showed a troubled expression, as if struggling with whether to speak or not..
