Starting With 100 Million Lives-Chapter 510 Bai Zhen Quasi-Emperor

The peculiar group of four continued to ascend, as the Soul Splitting Wind outside blew more fiercely.

Zhu Qinglian was well aware that they were far beyond her endurance range.

If at this moment she accidentally left the protective umbrella range of Jiang Cheng, she would be instantly obliterated without a trace.

And then, moments later, they encountered strangers once again.

This time, they met five Quasi-Emperors from the Immortal Realm. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

Judging by the appearance of their Immortal Souls, each seemed no less than Jiang Cheng.

Realizing this, Li Junlang did not shout out an invitation to hitch a ride this time.

However, Zhu Qinglian couldn't help but exclaim, "Bai Zhen Quasi-Emperor!"

She quickly covered her mouth, not daring to say another word.

This Bai Zhen Quasi-Emperor was the one she had initially used to embellish, pretending to be a 'master' when she first met Brother Cheng.

In reality, he is the Sect Leader of Jingci Sect.

His mid-stage Quasi-Emperor strength was considered top-notch in Changhe Prefecture.

Zhu Qinglian had never seen him before, but his name was well-known, and she had seen images of him.

To her, he was a legendary figure she had heard of since childhood.

"Bai Zhen Quasi-Emperor?"

Li Junlang was excited: "Has the elder come too?"

As he looked around, the five Quasi-Emperors approached.

Seeing Brother Cheng, the five Quasi-Emperors maintained a normal expression.

But coming across the Golden Winged Quasi-Emperor behind him, their expressions changed.

As for Li Junlang and Zhu Qinglian, they were directly ignored by them.

They could have brought people along, but if they did not encounter their own disciples, they surely wouldn't have the leisure to do so.

"You are already a Quasi-Emperor, yet unfamiliar."

"From which sect do you hail, or have you been in seclusion all this while?"

Though the Immortal Realm is vast, the number of Quasi-Emperors is countable; it is a small circle.

They dared not claim to have met all but had at least heard of them.

Brother Cheng responded with a question: "And who are you?"

The others frowned, and the leading late-stage Quasi-Emperor, with a dignified demeanor, said faintly: "We are from the Immortal Alliance."

"Wow!"

Li Junlang couldn't help but marvel.

"The seniors are actually bosses of the Immortal Alliance, my respects!"

For a native of the Immortal Realm like him, the Immortal Alliance was a legendary Sacred Land, one he'd heard of for a long time.

Legend has it those who can enter the Immortal Alliance are either disciples of ancient top-tier Immortal Sects, possess sky-reaching power, or have extraordinary talent.

Anyway, it's an utterly elite high-end route, not open to ordinary immortals.

Including Bai Zhen Quasi-Emperor, the five Quasi-Emperors did not pay attention to him, as if he was just a fart.

The five remained focused on Brother Cheng: "You have become a Quasi-Emperor, so you should report to the Immortal Alliance. Whether or not you want to join, you must be registered, there can be no mistake!"

"Is there such a rule?"

"Yes, inscribe an Immortal Pattern with your Immortal Soul as proof!"

Brother Cheng became more curious: "Why must this be done?"

The leading late-stage Quasi-Emperor impatiently said: "Why ask so many questions? If you're willing to join the Immortal Alliance, you'll naturally know everything."

"If you don't want to join, it's of no harm to you."

The nearby Golden Winged Quasi-Emperor sneered: "Doesn't seem that way?"

"Leaving an Immortal Pattern, your life may be safe, but from then on, Sect Leader Jiang's whereabouts will never escape your Immortal Alliance's control. Won't the Immortal Pattern always reveal his position?"

Damn!

Brother Cheng almost cursed on the spot.

Isn't this just being constantly monitored?

Thankfully, the Golden Winged Quasi-Emperor provided an explanation, otherwise, he wouldn't have understood the implication.

Bai Zhen Quasi-Emperor coldly said: "So what? The Immortal Alliance takes upholding the order of the Immortal Realm as its duty, naturally including figures of danger above the Quasi-Emperor level within its sights!"

"This is also for the Immortal Realm's stability; I hope you cooperate!"

Brother Cheng smiled: "And if I refuse?"

The five Quasi-Emperors collectively showed hostility, with the lead late-stage Quasi-Emperor bellowing sharply: "Those who dare not comply shall be vanquished by the entire Immortal Alliance!"

"Moreover, you've associated yourself with outsider Quasi-Emperors, giving us reason to suspect your malicious intentions!"

Before Brother Cheng could respond, Li Junlang jumped in to speak for him.

"Seniors, please don't be like that!"

"Sect Leader Jiang has fought valiantly on the front lines of Immortal Demon Mountain, contributing greatly."

"You're Bai Zhen Quasi-Emperor, right? I'm also from Changhe Prefecture, so we're sort of fellow townsmen."

"Sect Leader Jiang is a friend of mine, Li Junlang's; can you give me some face..."

Not only the five Quasi-Emperors but even Brother Cheng was confused by him.

Little brother, you've really got a thick skull!

Your master forbade you from going out with good reason.

If not for encountering me, you might not survive long even at the Immortal Venerable level.

Bai Zhen Quasi-Emperor, who had been "named," was stunned, unsure of what this was about for a moment.

An Immortal Venerable asking a mid-stage Quasi-Emperor for face?

Does he have some special traits?

He hesitated: "Whose illegitimate son are you among the Immortal Emperors?"

"Huh? Elder, why do you ask this?"

Li Junlang was oblivious, replying earnestly: "This junior is a native of the Extreme Cicada Mini World. My father, Li Guangfu, has been dead for many years..."

"Enough!"

Bai Zhen Quasi-Emperor was fueled with a sense of anger after being toyed with.

"Who are you?"

"Dare to feign familiarity with me?"

"This person's refusal to comply with Immortal Alliance's rules is akin to rebellion! As his ally, you shall be executed together!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Qinglian's heart sank to the bottom.

Yet she felt a strange sense of calm.

She had already hovered near death several times at Ghost Gate, unable to bear the scare anymore—so earlier relief might just be best.

Li Junlang still wanted to argue.

"Elders, you're being unreasonable. Elder Jiang did nothing wrong, nor did I..."

"Alright, alright, little brother, retract your Divine Techniques!"

Brother Cheng chuckled as he dissuaded him.

Then he instructed the Golden Winged Quasi-Emperor: "Stay here and cover the two of them; I'll be back quickly."

The Golden Winged Quasi-Emperor nodded repeatedly, both excited and regretful.

Excited because he guessed what Sect Leader Jiang was about to do.

Regretful because he couldn't witness it firsthand.

"Brothers from the Immortal Alliance, I have some secrets I'd like to discuss. Could we speak privately?"

Secrets?

The five Quasi-Emperors were intrigued.

If a Quasi-Emperor regards it as a secret, it's likely some monumental opportunity.

"Humph, let's see what you have to say!"

With that, the five surrounded Sect Leader Jiang front and back, left and right, swiftly departing.

Once Brother Cheng left, the Golden Winged Quasi-Emperor expanded his 'protective umbrella.'

Compared to Brother Cheng's, although the range wasn't much different, it was far less stable.

Wobbling a bit, it only allowed the two to squeeze in together.

Li Junlang became worried for the first time: "Will Sect Leader Jiang be in danger? I feel those five seniors aren't easy to deal with."

Zhu Qinglian thought it was rare indeed that he could now see a hint of peril.

The Golden Winged Quasi-Emperor chided: "What nonsense are you thinking? Just stay put, worrying about him is not your place."
