Li Cheng stared at the approaching flying warship, and it wasn’t difficult to infer from their spiritual sense communication that these people were here for him!
To seek someone out, yet they arranged a Concealing Formation on the flying warship and even employed so many Loose Immortals, who would believe there wasn’t malice intended?
“From their words, it seems the Pill Tribulation drew them here, and to find me, could it be they intend to kidnap me?” Li Cheng thought secretly.
“Fellow Daoist ahead, please board the ship for a chat!”
The flying warship stopped several miles away, the Concealing Formation was withdrawn, and a robust voice came from the warship.
Obviously, the fact that Li Cheng had discovered them had been noticed, so they simply stopped.
At the bow of the ship, a burly middle-aged man stood with his hands behind his back, exuding a domineering presence, and calmly fixed his gaze on Li Cheng miles away.
Li Cheng crossed his arms in front of his chest, sizing up the middle-aged man, and clearly sensed that he was a Ten Tribulation Loose Immortal!
Seeing that Li Cheng made no move, the middle-aged man took the initiative to step into the void and stopped two yards away from Li Cheng, before saying, “Are you Eighteenth Elder Li Cheng of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect?”
“How can you tell?”
Li Cheng faintly guessed that ever since the last Pill Tribulation, his appearance had probably already spread.
“Fellow Daoist is surrounded by the aura of thunder tribulation and unscattered Pill Qi, plainly having recently faced a Pill Tribulation. Looking across the entire Southern Domain, the only one who could attract such a tribulation is Eighteenth Elder Li Cheng of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect,” the middle-aged man calmly spoke.
Li Cheng understood the reasoning behind this deduction, which wasn’t wrong, and he smiled, saying, “It seems my reputation isn’t small.”
“Of course, who in the Southern Domain doesn’t know the name of the Eighteenth Elder of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect?” The middle-aged man’s expression remained calm, as if his resolute face was paralyzed and incapable of additional expressions.
The tone shifted as the middle-aged man said, “I am Supreme Elder Wan Zhongshan of the Taoist Mysterious Sect, and this visit is specifically for you!”
Li Cheng glanced at the flying warship behind Wan Zhongshan and laughed, “Elder Wan really thinks highly of me, to mobilize more than thirty Loose Immortals just for my sake?”
“Only in this way can the sincerity of our Taoist Mysterious Sect be showcased!” declared Wan Zhongshan.
Sure, bring so many peerless experts and call it sincerity?
It’s clearly a threat!
Who brings a pile of nuclear bombs to express sincerity?
“Let’s get straight to the point, we’d like to invite you to join the Taoist Mysterious Sect. As long as you agree, you’ll immediately receive the same treatment as the Sect Master!” Wan Zhongshan’s paralyzed face still showed no extra emotion.
Li Cheng began to understand why the old Sect Master desired to conceal the Heavenly Mechanism, not only to prevent others from prying into the production of so many Responding to Calamity Pills but also to avoid other forces from snatching people.
Unfortunately, before they could conceal the Heavenly Mechanism, the Pill Tribulation had already descended.
“Think it over!”
“The sect ranked number one amongst the top ten, the confidence is just different. It’s a pity, I’m not interested in Alchemy!” Li Cheng’s face lost its smile as he spoke indifferently.
No sooner had the words left his mouth, Li Cheng suddenly felt that what he said sounded very much like what Master Ma said: “I’m not interested in money!”
However, what he said was the truth; he really wasn’t interested in Alchemy.
Wan Zhongshan frowned. From a distance, the expressions of people on the battlefield were stunned, not interested in Alchemy?
If he were not interested, could he have achieved such a high level?
Undoubtedly the number one in the Alchemy Dao, yet claiming not to be interested in Alchemy?
This statement… seems a bit too bold!
Wan Zhongshan laughed, his normally stoic face unexpectedly revealing a hint of amusement, “1 have already been quite polite, Elder Li, it would be better for you to agree!”
“Or what?” Li Cheng’s expression remained calm.
Wan Zhongshan pointed to the flying warship, “Originally, I prepared to lead my men in a raid on the Heavenly Mechanism Sect, directly take you away, and incidentally take those Responding to Calamity Pills you just refined.”
“But since I’ve encountered you here, it has saved us the trouble!”
Li Cheng sneered, scoffing, “With just this few people, you think you can raid the Heavenly Mechanism Sect? Are you still dreaming?”
So many Loose Immortals, while powerful, would be masochistic to enter the enemy’s home ground!
Which ancient sect didn’t have defensive measures laid down by Immortal predecessors?
Having just said that, Li Cheng suddenly frowned, the Taoist Mysterious Sect wasn’t foolish either, how could they be unaware of the consequences of entering the enemy’s territory?
But they came anyway!
To dare to do so, unless…
Li Cheng’s Spiritual Sense surged, sweeping towards the flying warship, and indeed, he faintly sensed a powerful presence within the cabin!
Immortal!
“Such a strong Spiritual Sense, this old man has already done his best to conceal my aura, yet you still discovered it!” A distant voice came from within the cabin.
Talk about cheating!
The Taoist Mysterious Sect actually hid an Immortal!
Recalling the past, even the Remnant Soul of a True Immortal was terrifyingly powerful, and now, here was a living Immortal!
Although I do not know his Realm, he definitely won’t be weaker than that Remnant Soul, after all, this is a genuine Immortal.
“No wonder you could trigger the Pill Tribulation, with such powerful Spiritual Sense… Very well, Elder Li, you have two choices!”
“First, willingly leave the Heavenly Mechanism Sect and join my Taoist Mysterious Sect, we’ll offer you the same treatment as the Sect Master!”
“Second, 1 will forcibly take you away, and along the way, cause a disturbance at the Heavenly Mechanism Sect. How many survive in the Heavenly Mechanism Sect then will be a matter of fate!”
The ethereal voice rose, and the might of the Immortal permeated the heavens and earth, making one’s scalp tingle!
Listening to the Immortal’s words, Li Cheng calmed down instead, a smile slowly spreading across his face, “I’ve always been curious what kind of characters the number one ranked Taoist Mysterious Sect was composed of. Turns out, it’s just a bunch of self-righteous idiots!”
Wan Zhongshan frowned, “So you choose the second option?”
Li Cheng’s gaze moved away from the flying warship, staring straight at Wan Zhongshan before him, “Loose Immortals should obediently stay within their sects. It’s very dangerous to wander about without a cause!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Cheng flicked his fingers, and the Heaven’s Hidden Soul Nourishing Flame spread out far and wide, instantly enveloping an area of more than ten miles!
Aboard the flying warship, the Immortal reacted very quickly, instantly activating his Immortal power to wrap around the flying warship. But no matter how fast he was, he could not protect Wan Zhongshan who was right in front of Li Cheng!
The Heaven’s Hidden Soul Nourishing Flame, enveloped in the Rule of Fire, unleashed terrifying heat waves that shocked Wan Zhongshan into fully activating his True Yuan for protection while he rapidly retreated.
But in an instant, his protective True Yuan was burned through by the Heaven’s Hidden Soul Nourishing Flame, and the mysterious power even surged into his sea of consciousness, rapidly devouring his Spiritual Sense!
At this moment, the entire sky was filled with blue flames!
Just as Wan Zhongshan was severely injured in a face-to-face encounter, the Immortal protecting the flying warship finally managed to act, grabbing through the air, his Immortal power dispersed the Heaven’s Hidden Soul Nourishing Flame around Wan Zhongshan, and also pulled him back to the flying warship.
But no sooner had he saved Wan Zhongshan, they discovered that Li Cheng had disappeared!
The blazing flames dissipated quickly, and Li Cheng’s figure was nowhere to be found in the arena.
“You can run from the monk, but not from the temple. Ancestor Master, let’s just go straight to the Heavenly Mechanism Sect!” Wan Zhongshan, gravely injured, said through gritted teeth.
“Idiot, do you really think the Heavenly Mechanism Sect is so easy to attack? Li Cheng went to the north.. 1’11 go after him, you all keep up!”
