Infinite Comprehension by Taking In Disciples: Martial Uncle, Please Ascend!

At the moment, the safest place for him was not inside the city, but right here—where so many people mutually restrained each other, no one dared to make a move.

"This is troublesome. That boy has obtained a treasure that has everyone enthralled. He dares not leave; if I were to offer to take him as a disciple now, he\'d surely not believe me and would only see me as someone coveting his treasure,"

Li Cheng had a headache, not knowing whether he had arrived too late or too early; either way, it wasn\'t the right time.

After pondering for several seconds, Li Cheng doubled back and headed to No Return City to seek help from the city lord.

Outside the City Lord Mansion of No Return City, Li Cheng held the token of the Light Destroying Heaven Venerable, his seventh senior brother. The terrifying divine power spread from the token, startling the guards at the gate into kneeling promptly, "Greetings, Heaven Venerable Envoy!"

Li Cheng didn\'t speak, for he had already sensed that a Divine Emperor was hastily approaching from within the mansion.

The Divine Emperor, clearly sensing the divine power emanating from the Heaven Venerable Order, knew that a significant figure had descended and immediately came forward to greet them personally.

Leaping out of the City Lord Mansion, the Divine Emperor glanced at the token, and promptly knelt down, "I am Yi Kui, the lord of No Return City, greeting the Heaven Venerable Envoy!"

Having held his position as the city lord of No Return City for tens of millions of years without a single slip, Yi Kui could not fathom why a Heaven Venerable Envoy would be visiting. What could have brought them here?

"Envoy, may I verify the Heaven Venerable Order?" Yi Kui asked, looking up with neither humility nor arrogance after performing the courtesy.

Li Cheng was somewhat surprised; he had thought the Heaven Venerable Order would be handy, so he hadn\'t used the Mansion Venerable Order. Little did he expect his token would be questioned.

With this in mind, Li Cheng smiled and took out the Mansion Venerable Order, "I needn\'t have this verified, right?"

A trace of shock flickered through the depths of Yi Kui\'s eyes. Who was this young man, holding both a Mansion Venerable Order and a Heaven Venerable Order?

He had never seen a Heaven Venerable Order from such close quarters and could not be sure of its authenticity, but he had seen the Mansion Venerable Order several times before—it couldn\'t be fake!

"Greetings, sir!" Yi Kui bowed down once again, quickly explaining, "Please forgive me, sir. I have never seen the Heaven Venerable Order and only knew of its appearance, which is why I committed an offense..."

Li Cheng waved his hand dismissively, "Rise. I have come to you because I have a matter I hope you can assist me with."

Yi Kui stood up, bowed respectfully, and replied, "Please instruct me as you wish, sir. I dare not take credit for helping."

Li Cheng said no more and with a wave of his hand, the image of the young man appeared before him, "This person is at the entrance of the Emperor\'s Perishing No Return Domain. Please send someone to invite him here, and remember, it\'s an invitation! Be polite."

After speaking, Li Cheng stepped towards the City Lord Mansion.

Yi Kui quickly followed, not daring to inquire further, and offered with a smile, "Sir, may I ask you to wait in the reception hall for a moment? I will personally go to invite the young master!"

Li Cheng looked at Yi Kui with some surprise; indeed, those who could hold the position of a city lord were quite astute.

Nodding, Li Cheng said, "Much appreciated!"

Overwhelmed by the honor, Yi Kui bowed respectfully before retracting and, after giving a command to a subordinate, turned to leave.

Li Cheng entered the reception hall, where several maids immediately presented him with Divine Fruit and Divine Tea.

Meanwhile, Yi Kui personally led eight hundred guards and rushed to the entrance with the utmost speed.

At the entrance, the thousands of powerful individuals scattered around all turned their heads, astonished at the sight of city lord Yi Kui arriving with eight hundred guards. What was happening?

Some had been here for tens of thousands of years and had never seen such a display of force.

No one dared to neglect the matter; everyone stood up and bowed towards Yi Kui and his entourage.

Yi Kui scanned the crowd, fixing his gaze on the young man.

This scene caused everyone to frown in confusion.

"Damn it, that boy got that supreme treasure, and now even the city lord is involved?"

"Yeah, who knows who snitched. With the city lord here, that treasure will definitely end up in his hands, and we\'ve got no chance!"

Many people began whispering to each other.

But the next second, they saw Yi Kui stride up to the young man and bow, "Yi Kui, lord of No Return City, greets the young master!"

The young man looked bewildered, pointing at his own nose, "City Lord is looking for me? Could there be a mistake?"

Yi Kui smiled, "No mistake, this young master, Mansion Venerable Envoy… I should say, Heaven Venerable Envoy, Heaven Venerable Envoy invites you!"

At these words, everyone present was taken aback, the City Lord\'s meaning was clear—he was asking for this young man, both as the Mansion Venerable Envoy and Heaven Venerable Envoy!

That was an important figure, seeking out this youngster?

Could it be that the so-called Heaven Venerable Envoy also knew about the treasure this youngster had obtained? Was he seeking the youngster for that artifact?

For a moment, that was what most people were thinking.

Even the young man harbored this thought.

After pondering for a few seconds, the young man bowed respectfully, "City Lord Sir, I am but a Loose Cultivator and do not know the Mansion Venerable Envoy or the Heaven Venerable Envoy, there must be some mistake!"

With a wave of his hand, Yi Kui caused an image to reappear, displaying the likeness of the young man.

After comparing the two, Yi Kui said very confidently, "There is no mistake. Perhaps it is one of your elders. Hurry and come with me to see, that important person is still waiting at the City Lord Mansion, we mustn\'t keep him waiting too long."

The young man\'s frown was imperceptible; news of his acquisition of the artifact had indeed spread to others. What to do?

As he pondered, the young man tried to ask, "What does that important person look like?"

"You really shouldn\'t trouble me with this, I, a humble City Lord, dare not reveal the appearance of a Heaven Venerable Envoy," Yi Kui replied, looking troubled.

Yi Kui then added, "That important person bears you no ill will; otherwise, he would not have sent me to fetch you personally. Let\'s hurry along now!"

The young man was still hesitant; after all, the artifact he had obtained would even make a Divine Emperor\'s heart stir, let alone a Heaven Venerable Envoy.

He feared it was a pretense of inviting him, when in reality, it was to obtain the artifact.

But that artifact was far too important to him, and he absolutely couldn\'t afford to lose it.

At that thought, the young man inwardly gritted his teeth. Should he find an opportunity to escape?

With his Cultivation at the Heaven God State, he would be as insignificant as an ant in front of the City Lord—how could he escape?

"What are you hesitating about? Don\'t tell me you think that important figure might harm you?"

"Do you know, that important figure\'s Cultivation reaches the sky. If he wanted to harm you, a mere thought would be enough to kill you countless times over."

Yi Kui\'s words left the young man with a wry smile. Since that was the case, he might as well meet him!

"City Lord Sir, you misunderstand," the young man hastily said, "I was just wondering which elder it might be. I am on my way now."

Yi Kui breathed a sigh of relief, personally using Divine Power to lift the young man and hurried toward the City Lord Mansion. A formidable entourage of guards followed behind in a grand procession.

Soon, Yi Kui arrived at the reception hall\'s entrance with the young man, "My Lord, the person is here!"

"No need for formalities, come in!" Li Cheng\'s gentle voice rang out.

Entering the reception hall, Yi Kui stood respectfully not far from Li Cheng, waiting for Li Cheng to speak.

Li Cheng turned, glanced at Yi Kui with a strange expression, and said, "City Lord Yi, you are the host, and I am the guest. Why are you standing?"

At Li Cheng\'s words, Yi Kui quickly sat down, his face flushed with embarrassment yet secretly astounded.

Of course, he understood Li Cheng\'s meaning: how could the guest sit while the host stands? So, please, sit down.

Li Cheng then turned to the young man, maintaining a gentle smile, "Let me introduce myself, my name is Li Cheng, from the Confucian Sect."

Yi Kui and the young man both widened their eyes in shock. The name Li Cheng was all too well-known in the Land Puppet Mansion. Back then, Li Cheng mass-produced numerous Divine Pills and Divine Artifacts, attracting an all-out assault from Evil Demons on the Land Puppet Mansion. Later on, Li Cheng broke through to the Divine Venerable Realm, causing an anomaly throughout the entire Divine Realm.

Afterward, Li Cheng vanished from the Land Puppet Mansion, rumored to have returned to the Confucian Sect, and not long after, news spread that Li Cheng was actually the son of the Confucius Ancestor!

Yi Kui swiftly stood up and bowed, "So it is Supreme Li, I was blind, please forgive my oversight."

Now Yi Kui understood: no wonder Li Cheng had both the Mansion Venerable Order and the Heaven Venerable Order. Who didn\'t know of Li Cheng\'s good relations with the Mansion Venerable? Who wasn\'t aware that Light Destroying Heaven Venerable was Li Cheng\'s senior brother?

Li Cheng glanced at Yi Kui. What is he trying to imply? But it seemed this fellow had been influenced by the Pill Masters of the Land Puppet Mansion\'s Pill Hall, where only they referred to him as \'Supreme\'.

Saying nothing further, Li Cheng looked towards the young man and said with a smile, "Now that I\'ve introduced myself, what about you?"
