BXBX NOVEL Chapter 108: A bit absurdli
The Sect Masters of the various major sects arrived hand in hand, stopping outside of Heaven Secret Courtyard, respectfully asking the gatekeeping disciples to pass on the message, showing their attitudes clearly.
“Greetings, Sect Masters, please come in!” Mu Xingzhi’s voice sounded.
All the Sect Masters hurried over, clasping their fists in unison, “Sect Leader Mu!”
“It’s been a while, Master Li is as elegant as ever!” Shentu Feng said respectfully, bowing in salute.
“Met Master Li!” the crowd also bowed one after another.
Mu Xingzhi felt somewhat awkward, these fellows only greeted him with a clasped fist, whereas they bowed deeply to little uncle master, the difference was huge.
However, he naturally would not overthink it; everyone was a Sect Master, there was no reason for them to bow to him.
Instead, the little uncle master was of higher seniority and was referred to as a master by everyone, it was natural for them to greet him with a bow.
Besides, so many Sect Masters giving such respectful salutations to the little uncle master, that was the pride of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect!
Li Cheng nodded slightly, “Sect Masters have come together, is there an important matter?”
Xuan Yifeng nodded, “We’ve rushed over to thank Master Li for taking action. If not for Master Li, the entire Southern Domain would have surely suffered heavy losses.”
This was indeed true, and Li Cheng did not think this fellow was just flattering him.
“Yes, last night Master Li’s single sword broke the formation, like a Sword Immortal descending, which must have scared the people from Ten Thousand Evils Cave. In the future, our Southern Domain will be at peace,” Shentu Feng added.
Everyone else nodded, showing agreement.
Xuan Yifeng took over the conversation, bowing as he said, “Master Li, we are actually here to ask Master Li to take the lead in gathering the Southern Domain’s powerhouses to eradicate Ten Thousand Evils Cave!”
“Now that Ten Thousand Evils Cave has lost more than sixty Loose Immortals, although they wouldn’t dare to act rashly in the short term, their existence remains a great threat to the Southern Domain. This is the best time to act!”
All the major sects and powers, almost everyone who had been sent here, had suffered losses; the collective rage was sky-high, indeed a good opportunity to rally them.
But Li Cheng had no such intentions and did not consider himself leadership material. Besides, with Li Cheng’s cultivation, charging into battle would allow him to perform at his best.
After a slight pause, Li Cheng said with a smile, “I’ll pass on taking the lead, I have other matters to attend to. However, I don’t mind you using my name to do this.”
After the last battle with the Artifact Sect and the sword strike of the previous night, the entire Southern Domain knew of Li Cheng’s combat power. Calling upon others in his name would surely be highly effective.
Moreover, what Li Cheng said was also beneficial for the Heavenly Mechanism Sect.
Using Li Cheng’s name, the leading position would definitely be pushed to the Heavenly Mechanism Sect!
The Heavenly Mechanism Sect hadn’t commanded the allegiance of the many sects for over ten thousand years; this was a great opportunity to elevate the sect’s prestige.
Mu Xingzhi also thought of this and was secretly excited, for the sect had finally come to this day!
“With Master Li’s reputation, this matter will surely go very smoothly!” Xuan Yifeng said with a smile.
Shentu Feng nodded, “We’ve captured quite a few Loose Immortals from Ten Thousand Evils Cave. Even if we have to search their souls, we must dig out their lair. This time, we must obliterate Ten Thousand Evils Cave!”
“The Hundred Sects Conference can only be postponed. We shall hold it in three years as usual. The urgent matter at hand is to strike while the iron is hot and eliminate Ten Thousand Evils Cave!”
“Didn’t your Taoist Mysterious Sect say that the Immortal Mansion would open after the conference? What about that?”
The crowd began to discuss.
Li Cheng did not care to get involved, taking Lei Yuan to find Yun Tianqiong and the other two.
These three people had been in seclusion in their room all along, and even had the Sixth Elder arrange a Formation for them to avoid disturbance.
The Sixth Elder had really put effort into it; the Formation he had set up isolated internal and external auras, ensuring that the three were unaware of the commotion from the previous night.
For the sake of the Hundred Sects Conference, they had truly given it their all.
Wait till they find out the Hundred Sects Conference is postponed for three years… tsk tsk.
Three people sat cross-legged in a side hall, each sitting with their legs crossed, without disturbing each other.
Li Cheng casually broke the formation and pushed open the door to enter, only then did the three people wake up, “Is the conference about to start?”
“Master!” Upon seeing Li Cheng, the three disciples quickly got up to salute him.
Li Cheng nodded, “This is your junior brother, Lei Yuan.”
The three disciples exchanged glances. It had only been a few days, and the Sect Master had taken on another disciple!
After the four disciples got to know each other, Li Cheng said, “Later, I will take you to the Universe Mystery Tower of the Taoist Mysterious Sect. You will cultivate there for the next two months. After you leave the Universe Mystery Tower, I will take you to a good place.”
The disciples including Yun Tianqiong looked at Li Cheng with suspicion, “Master, isn’t the Hundred Sects Conference being held?”
The disciples were not fools. Since Li Cheng had said so, the Hundred Sects Conference must have been postponed!
The question was merely for confirmation.
Li Cheng nodded, “You talk among yourselves first; I will take you there later.”
After speaking, Li Cheng left the side hall, “Senior Tianyuan, what exactly is inside that Immortal City?”
“Are you asking if it’s suitable for your disciples to undergo trials? Don’t worry, it is suitable,” Immortal Emperor Tianyuan said.
“As for you, why didn’t you agree just now when you had such a good opportunity? If you had agreed, you would have had the power to command the heroes of the Southern Domain!” Immortal Emperor Tianyuan added.
Li Cheng shook his head, “I would rather spend the time cultivating than do that, and besides, I truly have important matters to attend to!”
“What important matters could you have?”
Li Cheng looked toward a corner of the Heaven Secret Courtyard, where Ye Chenfeng was healing in one of the rooms.
Last night, he had taken action, joining the Loose Immortals of Li City to kill the people of the Ten Thousand Evils Cave.
Once his healing was done, Li Cheng planned to go directly to investigate the place Ye Chenfeng had mentioned.
Ever since learning about the ancient battlefield, Li Cheng had been suspicious whether the place Ye Chenfeng mentioned might be related to the ancient battlefield?
It was a place left behind from billions of years ago, with three mysterious items remaining. The possibility was significant!
“Senior, do you know of any items that can carry the Law?” Li Cheng asked in return.
Thinking, Immortal Emperor Tianyuan said, “Such items are generally refined from innate objects. In our era, they have become extremely rare!”
Upon hearing this, Li Cheng’s eyes lit up. In that case, those three items were very likely indeed from the ancient battlefield!
Thinking of this, Li Cheng smiled, “So, the important matter I mentioned is related to such items. I now suspect that it might be the ancient battlefield!” “Hmm? Can you clarify?” Immortal Emperor Tianyuan asked with interest.
Li Cheng told the story of the three items that Ye Chenfeng had brought, asking, “Senior, do you think those three items might come from the ancient battlefield?”
“A cauldron, a spade, a fire poker? Those refined from innate objects into such things? It sounds rather absurd!” Immortal Emperor Tianyuan shook his head but his expression was filled with anticipation.
“We’ll know once we go and see, but I don’t know if it will delay the opening of Immortal City,” Li Cheng said.
Immortal Emperor Tianyuan smirked playfully, “Can Immortal City open without my permission?”
Eh?
Alright then, it’s your territory, so you call the shots, and that couldn’t be better!
In this way, even if they were delayed in that mysterious place, they would not miss the Immortal City!
“However, there’s nothing useful for you inside the Immortal City, so you need not anticipate it. What’s useful for you is all in my head,” Immortal Emperor Tianyuan jested.
A thought struck Li Cheng, “If that mysterious place is likely to be the ancient battlefield, then before we go to such a place, Senior, could you pass on a few techniques to me?”
