“Hmm? What’s going on?”
The five gold-badge Inspectors looked at the entrance of the Dungeon with suspicion in their eyes.
There, numerous azure ice marks spread out, glittering under the sunlight.
“Why are you all standing there? Hurry up and enter the Dungeon!”
One of the gold-badge Inspectors sternly commanded the others.
“My lord, the brothers who went in have all turned into ice sculptures…” one of the Inspectors responded with difficulty.
“Hmm?”
The five gold-badge Inspectors exchanged glances, their expressions quickly changing. It seemed like someone was about to come out of the Dungeon. Their hearts grew heavy; no matter what, they couldn’t let the prison breaker and Li Ge escape today.
Otherwise, they would face the wrath of Glen Jin, the Sub-Hall Master.
At this moment, countless eyes were fixed on the entrance of the Dungeon, not daring to blink.
The sound of light footsteps grew clearer,
Soon, a man in cyan clothes, hands behind his back, appeared at the entrance of the Dungeon.
Behind Ambrose Lu was a disheveled Li Ge.
The Dungeon instantly became restless! Immortal energy surged, ready to strike at any moment!
As soon as the gold-badge Inspectors gave the order, they would unleash their most ferocious attack!
However, the moment the five gold-badge Inspectors saw Ambrose Lu, their expressions changed.
This person… looked remarkably like someone from their memories…
“Do you think he resembles… that person who disappeared from the Central Immortal Realm a million years ago?” one of the gold-badge Inspectors transmitted his voice, trembling.
The other Inspectors, hearing this, also grew nervous, their fingers twitching.
“It… it can’t be. That person disappeared a million years ago. How could he appear here at our Inspection Hall? Even the Immortal Emperor Yin Yang of the Southern Immortal Realm rarely comes here, let alone him… And this person came to rescue Li Ge, which further proves he’s not that person. That person wouldn’t have anything to do with a mere Chaos Immortal Lord like Li Ge.”
“True, and with the Four Directions Immortal Realm being so vast, it’s not unusual for people to look alike.”
“Yes, yes…”
“……”
The five Inspectors tried to dismiss the possibility with their words, but an inexplicable tension grew in their hearts.
Even someone who merely resembled that person from their memories could exert immense pressure on them!
The other Inspectors kept glancing at the five gold-badge Inspectors, puzzled as to why they hadn’t ordered the execution of the prison breaker.
The atmosphere grew eerily silent…
Li Ge, behind Ambrose Lu, also felt puzzled but soon understood. These Inspectors were probably waiting for Glen Jin to arrive, and it seemed that the cyan-clad senior in front of them had them at a loss.
“Have your Hall Master come out. I have questions for him,” Ambrose Lu said bluntly, not wanting to waste words with these ants.
As his words fell,
Everyone stood frozen, faces full of confusion.
But soon, an overwhelming imperial aura descended, suppressing the entire space!
Boom!!
Thousands of Inspectors, including the five gold-badge ones, instantly changed their expressions, their knees buckling as they knelt in unison!
Everyone’s faces were filled with fear!
Especially the gold-badge Inspectors, who felt a sense of vertigo and unprecedented terror!
The cyan-clad man before them was indeed—the Immortal Emperor of Longevity himself!!
Li Ge knelt behind Ambrose Lu, trembling all over.
He finally understood why the cyan-clad senior seemed familiar; it turned out to be the great figure from the Central Immortal Realm.
“I want to see who dares… uh, imperial aura!”
At this moment, Glen Jin arrived outside the Dungeon. Before he could finish his sentence, he was suppressed to the ground by the imperial aura!
This scene left the still-confused Inspectors in shock. Wasn’t their Hall Master a peak Immortal King? How could he also be kneeling…
Glen Jin stiffly raised his head, looking towards the entrance of the Dungeon. When he saw clearly, his pupils shrank to the size of a needle!
It was the Immortal Emperor of Longevity…
Ambrose Lu appeared before Glen Jin, looking down at him.
Glen Jin trembled and lowered his head, stammering, “I… I didn’t know the Immortal Emperor was coming. Forgive me for not welcoming you properly!”
He racked his brains, unable to understand why the Immortal Emperor of Longevity, who had disappeared for a million years, would come to his Inspection Hall, or how Li Ge could be connected to the Immortal Emperor!
Immortal Emperor!!
The Inspectors’ minds went blank as they finally understood.
But which Immortal Emperor was this… Could it be the Immortal Emperor Yin Yang of the Southern Immortal Realm?
Ambrose Lu looked at him and said calmly, “Blocking the ascension passage of a minor sect at the border for tens of thousands of years, do you need me to tell you the crime?”
Glen Jin’s heart skipped a beat!
His expression turned to one of terror!
He hadn’t expected such a minor matter to attract the attention of the Immortal Emperor of Longevity!
In his previous thoughts, the Immortal Emperor of Longevity had disappeared for a million years, and blocking a mere lower realm ascension passage at the border of the Southern Immortal Realm shouldn’t have been noticed by the Immortal Emperor of Longevity, who was far away in the Central Immortal Realm!
“Forgive me, Immortal Emperor! Glen Jin… Glen Jin…”
Glen Jin kowtowed, his voice filled with panic, but he didn’t know how to explain.
Outside the Dungeon, it was deathly silent,
Everyone listened to their Hall Master’s humble pleas, feeling a shiver down their spines.
Their Hall Master, an Immortal King, was a significant figure in the entire Southern Immortal Realm and stood at the pinnacle in the Whirlwind Immortal Continent.
But in front of an Immortal Emperor, he was still as humble as dust.
“According to the first Immortal Code, your Inspection Hall… should not exist,” Ambrose Lu said.
Glen Jin was so frightened that his soul trembled, kowtowing and pleading,
“Immortal Emperor, I was lucky to have defied the Immortal Code you personally drafted. I deserve to die, but the main hall of the Whirlwind Immortal Continent’s Inspection Hall is directly under the Southern Immortal Realm’s Immortal Emperor Palace. Please, Immortal Emperor, show mercy for the sake of the Immortal Emperor Yin Yang!!”
The Inspectors were stunned, their eyes filled with shock. It was indeed that mysterious Immortal Emperor of Longevity who had disappeared for a million years…
He had returned.
Ambrose Lu laughed, “Do you think even if Gu Yin Yang himself stood before me, he would dare ask for mercy?”
Glen Jin’s heart trembled fiercely. Gu Yin Yang, the full name of the Immortal Emperor Yin Yang, was a name that only the person before him dared to call directly in the Four Directions Immortal Realm.
“Immortal Emperor… I… I…!” Glen Jin was completely at a loss.
He had never imagined that today would unfold like this, nor that he would provoke the Immortal Emperor of Longevity.
“If you want to blame someone, blame your Hall Master.”
Ambrose Lu no longer paid attention to Glen Jin but instead glanced at the stunned Inspectors and said lightly.
Some Inspectors were in despair; they had just joined today… and were so happy at the time.
“Immortal Emperor!”
As if realizing something, Glen Jin’s pupils shrank, and he roared for mercy!
Ambrose Lu’s face remained expressionless as he lightly flicked his sleeve!
A wisp of ice spread from Ambrose Lu’s feet, then rapidly extended like a spider web in all directions!
Glen Jin, who was at the forefront, was instantly frozen into an ice sculpture, his terrified expression solidified on his face!
Crack, crack, crack, crack—!
Next, numerous Inspectors were frozen,
In no time, the entire vast main hall of the Inspection Hall had turned into a crystal palace, floating in the air as usual!
The difference was that now it exuded a chilling cold and deathly silence!
The Inspection Hall seemed to have entered an ice age in an instant!
Ambrose Lu glanced at the dazed Li Ge, took a step forward, and disappeared.
Li Ge looked around numbly, his teeth chattering,
As expected of an Immortal Emperor, incredibly powerful.
The main hall of the Whirlwind Immortal Continent’s Inspection Hall… was destroyed just like that.
He looked at the frozen Glen Jin, a dignified Immortal King, now devoid of any life, along with the numerous Inspectors, all lifeless…
Li Ge finally understood that the Immortal Emperor of Longevity hadn’t come specifically to save him; he was here to settle accounts with the Inspection Hall, and saving him was just a side task, which made sense.
Li Ge knocked on the ice beneath him; it was incredibly hard, completely different from ordinary ice.
Finally, he took a deep breath and hurriedly left this hell on earth.
Li Ge knew that after today, the Southern Immortal Realm would be shaken, and many big figures would come to investigate the frozen Inspection Hall.
He knew what he had to do next,
Which was to forget what happened today.
………
………
“Uh, look!!!”
“Hiss! What’s going on?!”
“Oh my god!!”
“Why is the Inspection Hall…”
“Uh…”
Countless curious eyes from the four cities below looked up at the sky, where a palace blocked out the sun!
It was an ice-sealed palace, shining brightly under the sun, exuding a deathly silence!
The once-glorious Inspection Hall, why had it become like this…
In the next moment, countless cultivators’ eyes flickered as they flew towards the Inspection Hall in the sky!
They felt that something earth-shattering had happened!
Soon,
The cultivators appeared above the Inspection Hall.
“Hiss—!”
The sound of gasping echoed.
They looked at the scene before them, their eyes trembling violently!!
Suppressing their inner shock, they cautiously approached the Inspection Hall…
Everything in sight was frozen in ice!
Palace walls, plants, ground, pillars, water… and the thousands of Inspectors, bronze badges, silver badges, and even the five gold badges!
“That’s… that’s Glen Jin, the Immortal King!!”
Someone’s exclamation drew everyone’s attention, and they hurried over.
They saw an ice sculpture, inside which was Glen Jin, the Sub-Hall Master, lifeless, with only a frozen expression of terror on his face.
The cultivators’ lips trembled, and no one dared to speak.
They looked around at the deathly silence, surveying the strange and tragic state of the Inspection Hall.
The main hall of the Inspection Hall was directly under the Immortal Emperor Palace, and now an Immortal King had fallen.
This would undoubtedly alarm the Immortal Emperor Palace!!
Next, the Southern Immortal Realm would be shaken.
………
At the same time, in a desolate area in the southeast of the Whirlwind Immortal Continent.
Old Turtle stood hunched in mid-air.
He stared at the Inspection Sub-Hall before him, a wicked smile spreading across his face.
“Come out and meet your Grandpa Turtle!”
Instantly, the Inspection Sub-Hall became restless, and hundreds of bronze-badge Inspectors appeared in the sky, staring intently at Old Turtle.
“Who dares to be so presumptuous at the Inspection Hall!”
Old Turtle chuckled, “Where’s your Hall Master?”
“May I ask what brings you here, Daoist Friend?” an old man appeared, looking at Old Turtle from a distance, asking gravely.
He could sense that the hunched old man before him was not simple, and most likely… had ill intentions!
“Nothing much, you just offended my master, so Grandpa Turtle is here to destroy you. Out of courtesy, I’m giving you a heads-up.”
Old Turtle waved his hand and smiled kindly.
Destroy us, and give us a heads-up?
Everyone’s faces turned ashen, this was too arrogant!!
“A few days ago, in the Langtian Domain, I killed a silver badge. He should be from here, right?” Old Turtle said nonchalantly.
The Sub-Hall Master’s face changed, his eyes instantly turning blood-red, and he roared, “You killed my son??”
Old Turtle was slightly surprised, then nodded seriously, “Hmm, it seems the one Grandpa Turtle killed was indeed your son.”
“And my granddaughter?” the Sub-Hall Master roared, veins bulging on his face.
“Your granddaughter…” Old Turtle thought for a moment and said, “She was probably slapped to death by my master. Your granddaughter is truly honored…”
“Impudent!!” the Sub-Hall Master roared in fury.
“Impudent?”
Old Turtle sneered, then his expression changed, and he shouted, “Your Inspection Hall blocked the ascension passage, defying the Immortal Code, and arbitrarily sentenced people. Do you know you deserve death!”
The Sub-Hall Master paused, then growled, “Defying the Immortal Code, what does it have to do with you? I advise you not to meddle in this matter; the waters run deep…”
“Let me enlighten you, ant.” Old Turtle sneered, “My master is the Immortal Emperor of Longevity from the Central Immortal Realm. Yes, he has returned.”
The Sub-Hall Master trembled, his pupils shrinking, “You’re lying!”
The Inspectors also felt a chill down their spines.
“Hehehe… ants, die!” Old Turtle rubbed his hands together and said.
The Sub-Hall Master was shocked, not daring to underestimate him. He had no time to ponder Old Turtle’s words and had to strike first!
He activated the immortal energy within him, his robes fluttering without wind!
The pressure of a Chaos Immortal Lord filled the sky!
At this moment, even the heavens lost their color.
The Sub-Hall Master formed a seal with his hands, the Taiji Eight Trigrams exclusive to the Chaos Immortal Lord spinning rapidly in his mind, and cyan immortal energy burst forth from his hands!
In the next moment, a hundred-zhang-long thunder whip, crackling with cyan lightning, appeared in his hand, and he fiercely lashed it towards Old Turtle!
In just an instant, he swung five times!
Crack, crack, crack, crack, crack!
“Chaos Thunder Whip Technique—Five Marks Whip!”
The Inspectors were shocked, “It’s the Sub-Hall Master’s Chaos Thunder Five Marks Whip!! It’s said that the Sub-Hall Master once used this move to severely injure a fellow Chaos Immortal Lord!”
Old Turtle laughed, Five Marks Whip? What a joke!
Watch Grandpa Turtle suppress it with a single palm!
Thinking this,
Old Turtle spread his five fingers slightly and slapped towards the five whips in the void!
Boom!!
The palm strike exploded, and the five whips in the void were instantly shattered!
The Sub-Hall Master spat out a mouthful of blood, his face filled with disbelief!
“Hehe, die!”
Old Turtle flipped his palm downward, and the palm strike, like the Five Fingers Mountain, crushed the Sub-Hall and everyone within it into powder!
Boom!!!
When the commotion subsided, the Sub-Hall was no more.
Old Turtle clapped his hands, a playful smile on his face, and vanished into the void.
“Grandpa Turtle can’t handle the Divine Path, but dealing with you ants is a piece of cake! Tch!”
