Li Hei Enters the Divine Immortal Sect

Chapter 20: Li Hei Enters the Divine Immortal Sect

Translator: Krukist

"Mere ants dare to scheme against this Marquis!"

Looking at the decapitated elder of the Lingyun Sect, Marquis Changlin sneered. If they had merely wanted to use him to kill those who had destroyed their sect master, he might have overlooked it in their desperate quest for vengeance. But for this elder to dare dream of rebuilding the Lingyun Sect under his protection? Pure delusion.

Seeing the elder's fate, the remaining Lingyun Sect elders and disciples trembled in terror, not daring to even breathe loudly lest they anger Marquis Changlin. Though Yue's earlier slaughter of their sect master had struck fear in their hearts, it paled compared to the terror Marquis Changlin inspired. After all, his reputation and authority throughout the Radiant Sun Empire commanded deep respect.

"You - do as he said before. Draw that person out!" Marquis Changlin casually pointed at one of the Lingyun Sect elders.

"Y-yes, Your Excellency! This one will spare no effort to lure that person out!" The chosen elder froze momentarily before breaking into joy, never expecting such fortune. He hastily bowed with utmost respect.

Marquis Changlin said nothing more, directly occupying the main hall with his Changlin Army. The remaining elders showed no anger at this occupation - rather, they were delighted. To have Marquis Changlin grace their sect was an honor, let alone stay within it.

"Everyone, you've heard Marquis Changlin's command?" The appointed Elder Lin swept his gaze proudly over the assembled elders and disciples.

"Please instruct us, Elder Lin. We shall absolutely follow Marquis Changlin's orders!" Though they despised Elder Lin's borrowed authority, the other elders still responded respectfully.

Even the disciples who had been hesitating to leave now stayed. With a powerhouse like Marquis Changlin as their patron, their Lingyun Sect would only grow stronger - who would want to leave?

"Excellent! Announce to all that our Lingyun Sect is reestablished. All disciples shall spread word of our rebuilding throughout the Starry Mountain Range to draw that person out!" Elder Lin declared with a cold smile.

With Marquis Changlin's backing, their previous terror of Wang Feng and his companions instantly vanished, replaced by murderous intent. In their view, even if Wang Feng and his group were powerful, they were mere insects before an imperial official of the realm.

"Yes!" The disciples responded in unison, their hearts racing with excitement as they envisioned their sect's glorious future....

Meanwhile, Wang Feng returned to the thatched cottage with Yue and the others. As soon as they landed, he turned to Li Hei with a slight smile. "Have you considered it? Will you join my Divine Immortal Sect?"

"Divine Immortal Sect?" Li Hei's eyes flickered with doubt. Even in his previous life, he had never heard of such a sect.

A trace of mockery rose in Li Hei's heart. Even at his peak in his previous life as a Peak Stage Mystic Emperor Realm master, he hadn't dared use the words "Divine Immortal" for his sect. Yet this small sect in the middle of nowhere dared to claim such a title - preposterous!

His opinion of Wang Feng and the Divine Immortal Sect instantly plummeted.

"Indeed. Join my sect, and I can help you regain your peak strength, perhaps even surpass it!" Wang Feng nodded, his voice filled with absolute confidence.

"Hmph! What does a sparrow know of a swan's ambitions?" Li Hei sneered with disdain.

"Kid, I advise you to speak properly to the Sect Master, or this demon will show you the meaning of fate worse than death!" Dark Demon Venerable growled upon seeing Li Hei's attitude.

However, when Li Hei turned his gaze upon him, Great Demon Xuansha felt as if an incomparably terrifying being was staring into his soul. His fierce demeanor instantly crumbled as he lowered his head in silence.

"Even if you were Peak Mystic Emperor Realm in your previous life, you're merely at Entering Sovereign Realm now. Unless you're willing to risk everything, you can't escape if I truly wish to kill you. As for that Supreme Treasure you possess - I know about that too. If I had ulterior motives, I need only spread word of it, and you'd find nowhere to hide."

Hearing Li Hei's mockery, Wang Feng didn't anger. Instead, he smiled meaningfully at Li Hei.

His words shocked not only Li Hei but also Great Demon Xuansha and Yue. Yue's graceful figure tensed as frost-cold energy emanated from her body as she stood guard beside Wang Feng.

"A reincarnated Peak Mystic Emperor Realm master??" Great Demon Xuansha's eyes widened in shock. He hadn't expected this ordinary-looking Li Hei to have such a terrifying identity. No wonder a single glance had made his soul tremble. Even at his peak, he would have been like an ant before such a being!

"Who exactly are you?" Li Hei's deep eyes fixed on Wang Feng, an indescribably terrifying aura emanating from his thin frame. The valley's winds surged as the oppressive pressure made both Great Demon Xuansha and Yue tense

.

"I am the Master of the Divine Immortal Sect! Perhaps our name carries little weight now, but given time, my Divine Immortal Sect shall shake the nine heavens!" Wang Feng declared proudly, an aura of inspiration surrounding him.

"I have only one goal regarding you - joining my Divine Immortal Sect. As for your Supreme Treasure, I do not care for it!" While others might risk their lives for such a treasure, to Wang Feng with his system, it meant little.

"And if I refuse?" Li Hei's eyes narrowed.

He couldn't quite figure Wang Feng out. While he seemed like a mere upstart, he knew Li Hei's background completely - even the Supreme Treasure he carried. This was no ordinary person's knowledge.

As Wang Feng had said, unless Li Hei was willing to risk everything by using his previous life's trump cards, he wasn't certain he could defeat Wang Feng's group. Just handling the Profound Sovereign Realm expert would be troublesome enough, and the consequences of either failing or using his trump cards would be devastating.

"Then I won't touch you - but I can't guarantee your secret will remain safe," Wang Feng smiled. Though his tone held no threat, his words were the greatest threat to Li Hei.

Li Hei's face darkened as he stared at Wang Feng, releasing a terrifying aura. Wang Feng felt death's gaze upon him, yet his expression remained completely calm.

"I'll join your Divine Immortal Sect for ten years. After that, I leave, and you must keep my secret. If you disagree, then let's destroy each other here and now." Li Hei said after studying Wang Feng deeply.

Wang Feng's calm demeanor in the face of even a trace of Mystic Emperor Realm pressure had given Li Hei pause. Moreover, with Lingyun Sect destroyed, he needed a quiet place to recover. Ten years would be enough - then he could return to avenge this humiliation.

"Agreed," Wang Feng nodded.

He didn't know Li Hei's thoughts, but even if he did, he wouldn't care. In ten years, who knew how far the Divine Immortal Sect would advance - perhaps even Mystic Emperor Realm masters wouldn't qualify to join by then.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for recruiting one supreme genius! Rewards: 30,000 Sect Points and one random summoning chance!"

The system's voice in Wang Feng's mind made him smile with satisfaction. The risk of confronting a reincarnated Peak Mystic Emperor Realm master had paid off - these were his best rewards yet! Clearly, recruiting supreme geniuses was the way to develop the Divine Immortal Sect and earn greater rewards!
