Outside Purple Extreme Thunder Peak.
Seeing Li Ling and the elders of Purple Extreme Thunder Peak finally appear, the waiting cultivators from various sects grew increasingly dissatisfied.
“Hehe, Daoist Friends, what brings you to Purple Extreme Thunder Peak?” Li Ling cupped his hands and asked with a smile.
This scene left everyone momentarily stunned, but they quickly fell silent.
Although they claimed not to fear Purple Extreme Thunder Peak, facing the Sect Master directly made them reconsider, not daring to push too hard.
Soon, a cultivator in the early stage of Tribulation Crossing stepped forward, cupped his hands, and said in a deep voice, “Daoist Li, can you explain why Purple Extreme Thunder Peak did not take action during the recent monster outbreak in the Eastern Region?”
Li Ling pondered for a moment and then smiled, “I apologize to everyone. When the monster outbreak occurred, Purple Extreme Thunder Peak did not receive the message in time. By the time we were ready to send our disciples, the outbreak had already been quelled. Hehe.”
Hearing this, everyone was dumbfounded.
Isn’t this blatant lying?
The face of the Tribulation Crossing cultivator darkened, “Daoist Li, we came here today just for an explanation. Your response… clearly treats us all as fools.”
The crowd’s expressions also turned sour.
“Please, everyone, return. What I just said is the explanation. Whether you believe it or not, there’s nothing more I can do.” Li Ling smiled, turned around, and led the elders back to Purple Extreme Thunder Peak.
The Tribulation Crossing cultivator stared at Li Ling’s back and muttered, “Purple Extreme Thunder Peak is truly overbearing!”
Li Ling’s body stiffened for a moment, but he ignored it and disappeared with the elders.
Although the ancestor was not in the mountain at the moment, he was confident that these people would not dare to act rashly out of fear of the ancestor!
In the cultivation world, strength is the ultimate rule.
“Let’s go back, everyone. Regardless, Purple Extreme Thunder Peak’s reputation is ruined. Who will acknowledge it as the number one sect in the Eastern Region in the future?”
“Let’s spread this to the other three regions. Purple Extreme Thunder Peak, hehe…”
“Can you really swallow this? How about we join forces…”
“Don’t be foolish. If we were going to act, we would have done so long ago. Why wait until now…”
“Exactly. Karl Jiang alone is enough to deal with all of us here. What do we have to act with?”
“Ah, let’s disperse.”
Meanwhile, inside Purple Extreme Thunder Peak,
Li Ling sensed the departure of the sect cultivators and felt a slight relief.
After all, with Karl Jiang not around, if these people insisted on causing trouble, it would have been difficult to handle.
…
“Are you afraid too?!”
Tiger Zhan suddenly stood up, looking at Karl Jiang in disbelief!
Karl Jiang pursed his lips and said calmly, “The Demon Sovereign is not one to speak nonsense.”
“Believe her, my ass!” Tiger Zhan growled, displeased, “I shouldn’t have told you! You’re such a coward!”
A figure in cyan cloth flashed through Karl Jiang’s mind as he said solemnly, “My Ascension Tribulation is approaching. If what the Demon Sovereign said is true… I don’t want my thousands of years of cultivation to be ruined.”
“And Ambrose? The secret of immortality in the Immortal Tomb, are you just going to give it up? What about ascension? Can ascension grant immortality?”
Tiger Zhan roared, his emotions agitated.
“Hehe, Monster Sovereign, if it were before, I wouldn’t mind accompanying you to break into the Immortal Tomb. After all, the outcome would be the same for me, an imminent ascendant. There would be no loss.”
“But now? With such an uncertain factor, one miscalculation could lead to eternal damnation, turning thousands of years of hard work into nothing. Even so, it’s uncertain whether the Immortal Tomb can be broken. I know what’s important.”
Karl Jiang finished speaking and stood up expressionlessly.
Tiger Zhan sneered coldly, “Sophia Ji is like this, and so are you, Karl Jiang. Both of you are cowards!”
Karl Jiang’s eyelid twitched, and he cupped his hands, “Think what you will, Monster Sovereign. I bid you farewell.”
“Stop!” Tiger Zhan growled.
Karl Jiang turned and waited for his next words.
Tiger Zhan stared at Karl Jiang’s back and said mysteriously, “Since plotting the Immortal Tomb, my Monster Realm has suffered the most. You and Sophia Ji have retreated unscathed… Sophia Ji aside, as she withdrew early, I have nothing to say. But you?”
Karl Jiang turned around, “So what does the Monster Sovereign mean?”
“If you quit, the plan cannot continue with just my Monster Realm… But do you think you can come and go as you please in my Monster Realm?”
Tiger Zhan’s lips curled into a sinister smile, his voice cold.
Karl Jiang’s pupils contracted, “You want to fight me?”
Tiger Zhan grinned, “You’ve gone too far.”
Karl Jiang’s expression grew serious, “You can’t keep me here.”
“Can’t keep you… but I can take an arm.” Tiger Zhan said in a deep voice.
“Daoist Tiger, it’s been a while since the Immortal Tomb. Good to see you again.”
At that moment, a gentle voice echoed in the hall.
Tiger Zhan and Karl Jiang both trembled! They turned their heads stiffly,
A cyan-clothed man was already sitting there like a ghost, without them noticing…
Ambrose Lu!
The hall fell into a deathly silence, the atmosphere incredibly eerie.
“Daoist Lu… hehe.”
Tiger Zhan forced a dry laugh, glancing at Ambrose Lu’s shoulder, which was empty—no turtle this time.
Karl Jiang’s eyes flickered rapidly, trembling slightly.
This was the second time he had seen the cyan-clothed man, but this time, the pressure was immense!
“Sit.” Ambrose Lu smiled.
He then picked up a wine pot and poured himself a cup of tea, as if he were at home.
Tiger Zhan and Karl Jiang exchanged a glance, then slowly sat down.
Moments ago, they were adversaries, but now, with a single look, they quickly reached a consensus.
If Ambrose Lu had ill intentions, they would join forces immediately!
“Relax, I won’t do anything to you.” Ambrose Lu reassured.
But the more he said this, the more Tiger Zhan and Karl Jiang felt their bodies stiffen.
One was a Monster Sovereign, the other the ancestor of Purple Extreme Thunder Peak, yet they were completely suppressed.
Ambrose Lu looked at Tiger Zhan for a moment, until Tiger Zhan grew nervous, then said, “You little demon tiger, learn from the Demon Sovereign, be smarter.”
Tiger Zhan’s face changed dramatically; his true form had been seen through!
Impossible, he had never revealed his true form!
In an instant, Ambrose Lu became unfathomably deep in Tiger Zhan’s eyes!
Seeing Tiger Zhan’s state, Karl Jiang also felt his scalp tingle, sensing something was off.
“In the Spirit Dust Realm, a Howling Sky Demon Tiger is rare. Live well and strive to ascend to the Four Directions Immortal Realm, where your kind thrives. It’s your place of fortune.”
Ambrose Lu smiled, then glanced at Karl Jiang, who immediately lowered his head, not daring to meet his gaze!
“Hehe.”
Ambrose Lu chuckled and slowly dissipated.
“Hu~~~”
Tiger Zhan and Karl Jiang exhaled heavily, cold sweat dripping from their foreheads. They exchanged horrified glances, recalling the brief conversation.
Four, Four Directions Immortal Realm…
“Monster Sovereign, this, this Senior Lu… do you still have thoughts about the Immortal Tomb?” Karl Jiang’s voice was strained.
He felt immensely relieved, thankful for his cautiousness; otherwise, he would have been doomed.
Tiger Zhan glanced around in terror, then glared at him, “What nonsense are you spouting!!! When did I ever have thoughts about the Immortal Tomb! Karl Jiang, if you keep talking nonsense, I’ll split you in half with one palm!”
