Li Cheng’s expression was filled with astonishment, unable to believe that the fifth-ranking grand sect could boast so shamelessly!
Twenty-two Tribulations Loose Immortal? Was this not a blatant load of nonsense?
However, upon further thought, Li Cheng understood that the Artifact Sect intended to scare off the major powers.
Indeed, following Zhuo Bu’er’s words, many people already showed signs of fear.
After all, a Twenty-two Tribulations Loose Immortal would surely surpass a True Immortal in strength; they could not afford to offend such a being!
Even the top ten sects would not dare to offend such an existence lightly.
“I hadn’t expected your esteemed sect to have such a being in existence. May I inquire if we might be introduced to pay our respects?” a leader from the Sword
Sect asked.
The man’s expression was calm, showing no sign of whether he believed it or not.
Zhuo Bu’er clasped his hands with a smile, “Sect Master Jian, his elder expressly instructed to activate the Sect Protection Array so he could concentrate in seclusion; therefore, I’m afraid meeting him is not possible for the time being.”
To have forged an Immortal Artifact in just over half an hour and then to go into seclusion immediately after?
His words led many to doubt.
But what could doubt do? Surely they couldn’t break through someone else’s Sect Protection Array to investigate, could they?
Imagine if there really was a Twenty-two Tribulations Loose Immortal, were they enough for him to kill?
“However, the elder has instructed that if he discerns the secret to forging Immortal Artifacts, he shall surely announce it to the world!” Zhuo Bu’er added.
“Oh? Such a senior with a heart for the world, indeed elicits admiration,” Sect Master Jian Nantian of the Sword Sect remarked.
Zhuo Bu’er looked up and laughed, “His elder hopes that more Immortal Artifacts will emerge in our Southern Domain. He also said that there might be results by the time of the Grand Assembly of a Hundred Sects. Let’s not disturb his elder now, and wait for the Grand Assembly for the outcome.”
Miles away, Li Cheng suddenly turned his head towards the north and with a flash, he positioned himself in front of the Two Elders of Black and White, “Black and White Uncles, what brings you here?”
The hastening Black and White Elders immediately halted their approach, both letting out sighs of relief, “It’s good that you’re alright!”
Li Cheng realized, the two Elders had specifically come to protect him!
“Come, let’s show our faces at the Artifact Sect!” Old Bai said with a laugh.
Li Cheng was indifferent; after all, he had completely refined the power from the Heaven and Earth Baptism, making it undetectable to others.
Following the Elders to the Artifact Sect, they saw the crowd beginning to disperse.
“Hm? It’s over just like that?” Black Elder frowned and said.
“Elder Li, you’re here too!”
The voice of Shentu Feng, the Sect Master of the Pill Sect, rang out, and his figure appeared before the three.
“Elder Li, you’re late. The senior who forged the Immortal Artifact has gone into seclusion!” Shentu Feng said again, his face brimming with joy, seemingly delighted to see Li Cheng.
Within the formation, the Loose Immortals of the Artifact Sect saw the Black and White Elders and their expressions turned extremely odd.
The Black and White Elders seemed to have noticed the change in the Artifact Sect people’s demeanor and snorted coldly.
Li Cheng nodded slightly to Shentu Feng and then stepped into the sky towards the grand formation of the Artifact Sect, his gaze sweeping over the high ranks of the sect.
Zhuo Bu’er lifted his eyebrows subtly, “This handsome young friend must be the Eighteenth Elder of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect, am I right?”
“Zhuo Sect Master, indeed it is Elder Li!” Shentu Feng said with a smile beside him.
Zhuo Bu’er clasped his hands, “It turns out to be Elder Li gracing us with his presence. Our Artifact Sect is honored, although it’s a shame that the grand elder has ordered the closure of our sect. Otherwise, I would have offered you the warmest welcome!”
“Ha ha, Black and White Elders, long time no see, both of you still look splendid!” laughed a Ten Tribulations Loose Immortal from the Artifact Sect, as if seeing old friends after many years.
Black Elder disdainfully glanced at the Ten Tribulations Loose Immortal and showed no intention of acknowledging him.
Seeing this, the Ten Tribulations Loose Immortal sneered and turned his head away, commenting dismissively, “Some people just don’t appreciate kindness.”
A trace of fierceness crossed the Black and White Elders’ eyes, and Zhuo Bu’er caught it. He quickly tried to defuse the situation, “It turns out to be the Two Elders of Black and White. The young Sect Master of the Artifact Sect, Zhuo Bu’er, greets the two.”
The two elders stood to the left and right behind Li Cheng, with no intention of speaking.
This scene, however, caused Zhuo Bu’er and the others to feel a secret sense of alarm. Li Cheng had actually secured the protection of the Two Elders of Black and White!
“Elder Li, the one who forged the Immortal Artifact is a member of…”
“I am not here because of the forging of the Immortal Artifact!” Li Cheng interrupted Zhuo Bu’er.
What’s the point of listening to such lies?
The maker of the Immortal Artifact is right in front of you, and you still claim it was one of your Sect elders?
Zhuo Bu’er was somewhat curious and smiled, “Then… may I know what matter brings Elder Li here?”
Li Cheng looked at Zhuo Bu’er and said indifferently, “My master Wuya!”
Zhuo Bu’er’s expression stiffened, and so did those of the Loose Immortals and high-ranking officials.
The disciple of Wuya has come!
Without a doubt, to demand the Astonished God Tripod!
But the Astonished God Tripod…
Zhuo Bu’er reacted incredibly quickly, immediately putting on an overjoyed expression, “It turns out Elder Li is actually the disciple of Ten Tribulations Wuya, that is simply wonderful!”
“Elder Li might not know, but Ten Tribulations Wuya is the most honored guest of our Artifact Sect!”
Li Cheng’s eyes narrowed, “You’re the honored guest, your whole family are honored guests!”
Zhuo Bu’er’s happy expression froze. Everything was going fine, so why the anger?
Oh!
Got it, Elder Li doesn’t understand the meaning of honored guest!
Realizing this, Zhuo Bu’er said with an embarrassed smile, “What I mean is, Ten Tribulations Wuya is the most esteemed guest and the best friend of our Artifact Sect!”
Li Cheng remained expressionless, “No need for so many words, you know why I’m here, give it back!”
From the expressions of everyone just now, Li Cheng had already seen that these guys all knew he was here to collect a debt.
“This… Elder Li, Zhuo does not understand what you mean!” Zhuo Bu’er said with a wry smile.
Playing dumb?
On the side, Shentu Feng said with suspicion, “Elder Li, does the Artifact Sect owe you Spirit Stones? I have brought twenty Loose Immortals with me, and if needed, we can help you out anytime!”
Li Cheng disregarded Shentu Feng and continued to stare at Zhuo Bu’er, “Then let me remind you, thirty years ago, your Artifact Sect borrowed my master’s Immortal Artifact, saying it would be returned in ten years. Now it’s been overdue for twenty years, isn’t it time to return it?”
Zhuo Bu’er slapped his forehead, “So that’s what this is about! Indeed, that’s true!”
“It’s good that your Artifact Sect acknowledges it,” said Old Bai indifferently.
Zhuo Bu’er gave a respectful bow, “We are aware of this matter. It was Elder Lu who borrowed the Immortal Artifact back then, but unfortunately, Elder Lu went out with the Immortal Artifact and has not returned for over twenty years!”
“Had he not been away all these years, how could our Artifact Sect possibly fail to return it on time!”
With an innocent look and full of remorse, Zhuo Bu’er continued, “Elder Li, rest assured, as soon as Elder Lu returns, our Artifact Sect will immediately return it and is willing to offer a certain compensation to your Sect as… rent for these twenty years!”
Li Cheng laughed, the smile on his face growing thicker, “Sect Master Zhuo’s words sound very pleasant! But, do you take me for a three-year-old child?”
“Not at all, absolutely not, Elder Li, please do not misunderstand, I am telling nothing but the truth!” Zhuo Bu’er asserted firmly.
Li Cheng turned his head to look at the crowd that was receding into the distance, then back at Zhuo Bu’er, the smile on his face unwavering, “As I was arriving, I happened to capture the Green-faced Elder. Sect Master Zhuo, should I call everyone back?”
Zhuo Bu’er’s pupils shrank slightly, and his eyes showed deep alarm!
Li Cheng sneered inwardly; you can bluff, 1 can bluff as well, it’s a contest of who can bluff better!
