Wife, you didn't really drug me, did you?

In front of the nine-story pagoda in Kunlun, Chen Jie and the Grand Elder were bidding farewell to the Western King and the newlywed Li Fang and Heng Qing.

The Western King looked at Chen Jie and said, "Your Highness, please be careful on your journey. We may need to trouble Your Highness with matters within this fairyland in the future."

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie looked at the Western King and said, "Of course. Since I have agreed to assume the position of acting king of the Immortal Realm, I will fulfill my duties."

Upon hearing this, the Western King said, "Then, King Dai, please proceed with caution."

Chen Jie nodded and said, "Your Majesty, rest assured, I know everything."

After saying this, the Western King stepped aside to speak with the Grand Elder, while Heng Qing and Li Fang came up. Heng Qing looked at Chen Jie and said, "Brother Chen, I really have to thank you this time. If it weren't for you, my Immortal Realm would have been doomed."

"Therefore, I want to thank Brother Chen on behalf of Fairyland."

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie waved his hand and said, "This is nothing, Heng Qing, you don't need to be so serious. Actually, I came to the Immortal Realm in the first place because of the 'Four Seasons Celestial Phenomena Technique.' It was only by chance that I was able to help the Immortal Realm solve these problems."

"So you don't need to thank me repeatedly."

Upon hearing this, Hengqing said, "No matter what Brother Chen's initial purpose was, I am the one who will benefit in the end, so I must thank you. Please do not refuse, Brother Chen."

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie looked at him and then said, "Fine, fine, since you insist on saying so, then I won't refuse."

Hengqing said, "Brother Chen, please don't refuse. You must come to Fairyland to visit us often when you have time."

Chen Jie nodded: "Yes."

Heng Qing took a step back, and at that moment Li Fang ran over from behind, grabbed Chen Jie's hand and said, "Brother Chen, thank you!"

Chen Jie glanced at Li Fang and said, "I can understand Heng Qing thanking me, but what are you thanking me for?"

Upon hearing this, Li Fang looked at Chen Jie and said, "Brother Chen, if it weren't for you, my marriage with Hengqing would have been a long shot. But thanks to your matchmaking, we are now a couple in love."

Li Fang chuckled and said, "So I want to thank my elder brother. Without him, I really don't know when I would have been able to marry Hengqing. So I want to thank Brother Chen. All of this was achieved with his help."

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie looked at Li Fang and said, "Hahaha... It is my wish to help others achieve their goals. If you have time in the future, you can come to Huangzhou Prefecture to find me."

Li Fang said, "That's probably very difficult. I've already made a promise with Heng Qing that we'll never leave the Immortal Realm in this lifetime."

"Not leaving the fairyland?"

Chen Jie looked at Heng Qing, who nodded and said, "Yes, unless there are major changes in this life, we will never leave the Immortal Realm. We will strictly abide by the will left by the old Immortal Venerable and never leave the Immortal Realm."

Chen Jie looked at Heng Qing and Li Fang, and was quite satisfied. Staying in the Immortal Realm was definitely a good thing for them.

After all, the power of the Immortal Realm is too great. If it were to be used by someone with ulterior motives outside the Immortal Realm, it would have a significant impact on Chen Jie. Of course, Chen Jie could also try to bind these people from the Immortal Realm to his own cause and make them his allies in conquering the world.

However, there is another very frightening factor involved.

That's Zhang Sanfeng. It seems that Master Zhang doesn't like these immortals and doesn't want them to come out. The fact that the old immortal was given the cold shoulder by Master Zhang back then was a very important signal.

I cannot ignore Master Zhang's attitude just because of the power of the fairyland.

Frankly speaking, one of the most important factors that can influence the course of the world now is the level of terrestrial immortals. Take the Great Qian Dynasty, for example. If it weren't for the existence of the Living Buddha Phagpa, a terrestrial immortal, the Great Qian Dynasty would probably have been destroyed by the Han Chinese forces long ago.

However, because of the existence of Phagpa, this terrestrial deity, no Han Chinese force dared to attack Dadu, allowing the Daqian Dynasty to continue to eke out a living in the Central Plains.

This is the power of terrestrial deities.

Although Chen Jie's strength has now reached the fourth level of the Fusion God realm, making him one of the most outstanding beings in the world and capable of determining the course of events, even so, he still felt quite powerless when facing a terrestrial immortal.

It's true that those who haven't reached the fourth level of the Melting God realm see terrestrial immortals as if they were frogs at the bottom of a well looking at the bright moon.

Once you reach the fourth level of the Fusion God realm, looking at the terrestrial immortals is like looking at the sky from the perspective of a mayfly.

The more you learn, the more you realize how terrifying these terrestrial immortals are.

Chen Jie felt that even though he was already very strong, he still couldn't last ten moves against a terrestrial immortal, which was why Chen Jie was so wary of Zhang Zhenren.

Although he thought his relationship with Zhang Sanfeng was good, and at least his relationship with Zhang Sanfeng's seven disciples was very good, Chen Jie still didn't dare to say that Zhang Sanfeng would think highly of him because of his seven disciples.

Thinking this, Chen Jie looked at Heng Qing and Li Fang and said, "Yes, I respect your decision. I will definitely come to see you when I have the chance."

The two nodded immediately. Chen Jie then told them some other things, while the Grand Elder and the Western King were chatting quietly on the other side.

"Elder, please rest assured. I will take care of Li Fang. You need not worry."

The Grand Elder said, “I naturally trust the Western King to handle things, but the remnants of the Eastern King’s forces have just been wiped out. The Western King should not be careless and should avoid causing trouble.”

Upon hearing this, the Western King said, "The Eastern King has already been executed, and the rest are not worth worrying about. You can rest assured that there will be no problem."

Upon hearing this, the Grand Elder thought for a moment, looked at the Western King, and said, "That makes sense."

Xi Wang said, "I know what the Grand Elder is worried about, and I also know what the Grand Elder has not said. Our Immortal Realm has suffered unprecedented damage, so I will not do anything to harm the Immortal Clan. The Jiuli Clan is also an Immortal Clan, so the Grand Elder can rest assured on his journey. I will not take the opportunity to weaken the Jiuli Clan's power and marginalize the Jiuli Clan again."

“I can also promise the Grand Elder that whoever currently holds a position or wields power in the Jiuli tribe will remain in that position and with the same power after the Grand Elder returns. This way, the Grand Elder can rest assured.”

Upon hearing this, the Grand Elder looked at the Western King and saw that he did not seem to be faking it. This was indeed something he had been worried about. The Jiuli tribe had just been integrated into the Immortal Clan, and although everyone was quite satisfied with the current distribution and everyone could get their own benefits.

But if I, the Grand Elder, were to leave at this crucial moment, it would be a huge blow to the entire Jiuli tribe. It would be easy for the Jiuli tribe to be marginalized again when I returned.

It was for these reasons that the Grand Elder hesitated, for on one hand he had just secured his power in the Immortal Realm, and on the other hand he possessed the divine artifact left behind by his ancestor.

In this dilemma, how could the Grand Elder possibly make a decision? At this moment, the Western King took the initiative to bring up the matter, which provided an explanation and reassured the Grand Elder.

Having received the Western King's promise, the Grand Elder clasped his hands in thanks to the Western King and said, "Thank you, Western King."

The Western King looked at the Grand Elder and said, "We're all family, no need for formalities. But this time, Grand Elder, don't stay too long. You must return to the Immortal Realm within six months."

Upon hearing this, the Grand Elder said, "Don't worry, as soon as I get the Tiger Soul Blade, I will rush back immediately and will not linger outside."

"Furthermore, after I leave, I ask the Western King to take good care of Li Fang. He is kind-hearted and not very cunning. If he does anything impulsive, I ask the Western King to consider my feelings and not pursue the matter too much. I will punish him when I return!"

Upon hearing this, the Western King chuckled and said, "Don't worry, I've watched Li Fang grow up since he was a child. He's kind-hearted and innocent. I love him dearly, how could I possibly be unhappy with him?"

"Then thank you very much, King Xi."

The Grand Elder bowed to the Western King.

Meanwhile, Chen Jie and Heng Qing had finished their conversation. Turning around, Chen Jie met up with the Grand Elder and bowed to the Western King, Heng Qing, and Li Fang. The Grand Elder was still worried about Li Fang and said, "Don't cause trouble while I'm away. We'll discuss everything when I return."

Upon hearing this, Li Fang said with some sadness, "Yes, Elder, I understand. I will definitely not cause trouble easily. I will wait for you to come back obediently."

The Grand Elder was pleased to hear this and looked at Li Fang, saying, "Yes, wait for me to return."

After saying that, he looked at Chen Jie and said, "Brother Chen, let's go."

Chen Jie nodded, and then led the Grand Elder out. Since this place was in the central area of ​​Kunlun Mountain, where there were no vehicles, the two of them needed to walk out of Kunlun first.

So the two of them set off together from Kunlun. After traveling for about a day, they arrived at the Kunlun Sect, which was located on the edge of Kunlun.

The Kunlun Sect was actually the liaison station for the outside world of the Immortal Realm. The Kunlun Sect Leader, Chang Xuzi, was the external liaison for the Immortal Realm. Unfortunately, he made a mistake in choosing his political allegiance this time, siding with the Eastern King. As a result, he was directly arrested by the Western King and imprisoned.

And this time, the Grand Elder will also come to the Kunlun Sect to replace the sect leader.

This was Chen Jie's first time visiting the Kunlun Sect's mountain gate. Kunlun, which was known as one of the five major sects in the Central Plains martial arts world, had a magnificent mountain gate made of white marble. It looked even more imposing than Wudang.

The Grand Elder seemed to see Chen Jie's doubts and said, "Kunlun is the face of our Immortal Realm, so it should be built to be more magnificent. Otherwise, people will think that our Immortal Realm is a poor mountain village."

Chen Jie nodded upon hearing this. At this moment, the Grand Elder walked directly towards Kunlun. Suddenly, someone shouted, "Who dares to trespass into my Kunlun Wonderland?"

With a roar, both the Grand Elder and Chen Jie stopped in their tracks. In fact, they knew exactly where the two disciples had been hiding, but they hadn't revealed it.

The Grand Elder glanced at the Kunlun disciple and said, "Summon your Supreme Elder to see me."

Upon hearing this, the disciple frowned and said, "What Supreme Elder? Our Kunlun Sect has no Supreme Elder. You two, stop causing trouble here and get out of here!"

As this audacious disciple dared to shove the Grand Elder, the Grand Elder frowned and said, "No manners!"

After saying that, the Grand Elder raised his hand and struck the Kunlun Sect's large bell located on the mountaintop with a palm strike.

The bell was probably nearly a thousand meters away from the Grand Elder, but at that moment the Grand Elder struck out with his palm in mid-air, and the next moment a terrifying force directly slammed into the bell.

The bell was struck by this terrifying force and immediately emitted a terrifying sound wave.

When~
The sound wave spread throughout the entire Kunlun Mountains, and the disciple was shocked. He had never seen such terrifying power before. At this moment, the disciple scrambled and crawled towards the mountain gate.

Meanwhile, the elders who remained in the Kunlun Sect were discussing in the main hall what had happened since the sect leader suddenly disappeared.

Only the Kunlun Sect's Grand Elder, Changqingzi, knew some of the inside story. He was Changxuzi's junior brother and also came from the Immortal Realm. Only he knew that Changxuzi had bet on the Eastern King. However, according to the timeline, he should have returned by now, bringing news of the Immortal Realm's army marching out of Kunlun.

Just as he was anxiously thinking, he suddenly heard a loud clang, and the Kunlun Sect's Heaven-Shaking Bell was struck!
At this moment, the elders inside the hall were alarmed, as were the disciples outside. They all came out and stood outside. Changqingzi looked around and asked, "What's going on?"

Just then, a disciple rushed up from the mountain gate and came to Changqingzi and the other elders.

"Elder, two fierce men have arrived outside, one old and one young. Without a word, they slammed their palms down on the great bell atop our mountain..."

"A palm strike from mid-air? A single palm strike from the mountain gate rang the great bell atop the mountain?"

Yes, that's exactly it!

The gatekeeper disciple said, and upon hearing this, the elder who had asked the question took a deep breath, his face filled with shock: "A person with such strength must be at least at the Fusion God Realm. For a Fusion God Realm expert to come, I'm afraid they are not here with good intentions. Could it be that they are here to kick down the mountain gate?"

Upon hearing this, the others exclaimed in alarm, "With the sect leader gone and such a vicious person around, what are we going to do?!"

The crowd was in a state of panic, but one person remained relatively calm: Changqingzi. Changqingzi was very rational. Upon hearing his disciple's report, he frowned slightly and looked at him, saying, "Those two vicious men came and, without saying a word, directly struck the bell on the mountaintop with a single palm strike?"

Upon hearing this, the others were also taken aback. That's right, did the other party come to kick down the mountain gate without giving any warning?
The disciple thought for a moment and said, "They, that old man said they want to see the Supreme Elder of our Kunlun Sect. When did our Kunlun Sect have a Supreme Elder?"

Ah!
Upon hearing this, Changqingzi asked, "Elder, is that really what they said?"

"That's exactly what they said, absolutely true, not a single word is wrong!"

Upon hearing this, Changqingzi's gaze narrowed slightly as he said, "I understand. Quickly open the mountain gates, and have Kunlun form a welcoming array. I will personally go to greet the immortal envoy!"

Upon hearing this, the other elders stared blankly at Changqingzi and asked, "Elder, what do you mean by this?"

Changqingzi looked at everyone and said, "It must be because something happened to the sect leader that the Immortal Realm sent people here. Anyway, everyone, hurry up and welcome them. Don't be negligent. They are people we can't afford to offend."

Hearing this, the others were skeptical, but seeing Changqingzi rush down, they all followed! (End of Chapter)
