Tonggu Zhenren arrived with his entourage of friends.

He stood before the mountain gate, his back appearing incomparably majestic.

Jun Changxiao was deeply moved.

He must have saved the entire universe in his previous life to meet such a wonderful master in this one.

Wait?

Could it be for this reason that he transmigrated to another world and activated the system?

“You’re overthinking it.”

The system promptly poured cold water on him: “With the host’s shameless personality, it would already be extremely fortunate if you didn’t bring disaster to the universe in your previous life.”

If a great enemy weren’t bearing down on them, Jun Changxiao would definitely be choking the system’s neck by now.

“Tonggu Zhenren!”

Lin Haoyan said coldly: “Jun Changxiao obliterated the Tianhua Dao Sect’s sect master, committing an unforgivable crime. As his master, do you intend to shield him?”

He had already anticipated this situation, but didn’t take it to heart, because as long as the Dragon Clan and Stone Image Clan were sealed, a group of scattered cultivators couldn’t pose a threat.

Indeed.

In terms of strength, the ten great immortal sect masters were stronger than Tonggu Zhenren and his companions.

If they truly fought, victory would be determined quickly.

“You said it yourself.”

Tonggu Zhenren replied: “Since I am his master, how can I watch my disciple be bullied.”

Since he brought people today, no matter what, he would protect Jun Changxiao.

“Hmph.”

The Qianyin Immortal Sect master said coldly: “Anyone who shields the Eternal Sect will be considered an accomplice!”

“A defeated opponent still has the face to speak?” Qiye Zhenren said lightly.

This sentence immediately enraged the Qianyin Immortal Sect master.

Ten thousand years ago, he had been defeated by Qiye Zhenren. At that time, he had just entered the Core Transformation Realm and hadn’t yet inherited the sect master position.

“Come!”

The Qianyin Immortal Sect master said in a deep voice: “Let us fight again!”

After becoming the sect’s next heir, he had obtained numerous resources. His strength and realm had long since improved tremendously, so naturally he wanted to avenge his defeat from years ago.

“Fine.”

Qiye Zhenren agreed.

Tonggu Zhenren worried: “Are you confident?”

“No.”

Qiye Zhenren knew the Qianyin Immortal Sect master’s strength had improved rapidly, and though he himself had also broken through to peak Truth-Seeking Realm, there was definitely a gap compared to a sect master cultivated with an entire sect’s resources.

“Senior Qiye.”

Jun Changxiao said: “This is a grudge between my Eternal Sect and the ten great immortal sects. Please observe from the side.”

“…”

Qiye Zhenren’s expression became wonderful.

Didn’t he realize the current situation of his sect? He actually wanted him to just observe!

“Little brat.”

Tonggu Zhenren scolded: “Don’t be reckless!”

Gou Sheng smiled, flew out from the mountain gate and hovered in midair, looking at the Qianyin Immortal Sect master with a proud posture, saying lightly: “This seat shall battle you.”

“You?”

The Qianyin Immortal Sect master sneered.

“Jun Changxiao.”

Lin Haoyan said lightly: “Without the Stone Image Clan and Dragon Clan backing you, what qualifications do you have to challenge our ten great immortal sects?”

The other sect masters also had disdainful expressions.

In their view, sealing off the two great clans’ ancestral lands was equivalent to clipping Jun Changxiao’s wings.

But then again, directly dispatching a hundred thousand elite troops to kill their way to the sect gate seemed to give Gou Sheng too much face.

They mainly came to eliminate the root.

The Eternal Sect must be destroyed.

Not a single high-ranking member or disciple could be spared.

To ensure the ten great immortal sects’ absolute ruling authority in the upper realm, any threatening force or individual must be killed rather than spared, even if it meant killing the wrong person.

One could imagine how furious the Demon Ancestor who was jointly destroyed back then must have been. No wonder he conceived the idea of destroying the world, even willing to become a traitor.

Demon Ancestor: Damn it, I was forced to submit!

Jun Changxiao said in a mocking tone: “Don’t dare accept the challenge?”

“Boy!”

The Qianyin Immortal Sect master said coldly: “Are you deliberately trying to provoke me?”

“Swish!”

Jun Changxiao pulled out his amplifying megaphone: “Today, this seat, as the Eternal Sect’s sect master, issues a challenge to the Qianyin Immortal Sect master, yet he evades with irrelevant talk, clearly showing fear!”

“…”

The distant scattered cultivators were speechless.

Big brother, we can hear you even without you speaking so loudly!

The Qianyin Immortal Sect master immediately became furious.

His gaze turned cold: “Since you’re so recklessly overestimating yourself, then this seat shall battle you!”

He agreed!

“Zuiji.”

Jun Changxiao said: “Brew some hot tea.”

After speaking, he flew out from Eternal Immortal Mountain, hovering above a stretch of wilderness, saying lightly: “Hurry up and come out quickly. This seat is still waiting to return and drink tea.”

“…”

Tonggu Zhenren and Qiye Zhenren’s mouths twitched.

They finally understood why Jun Changxiao had his disciple brew tea—he planned to resolve the battle quickly so he could return to drink it while hot.

Wait!

Wasn’t this too arrogant!

Even his own people found it hard to watch, let alone the Qianyin Immortal Sect master.

At this moment, his gaze flickered with extremely strong fury, wishing he could tear Jun Changxiao apart with his eyes.

“Sect Master Jin.”

Lin Haoyan transmitted: “No need to show mercy. Kill if you can!”

Initially, he thought Jun Changxiao might cower in the sect and not come out. To destroy him would require absolute force, which was why he brought a hundred thousand troops. He never expected him to dare challenge the Qianyin Immortal Sect master to single combat.

An opportunity!

An excellent opportunity!

As the saying goes, to capture the bandits, first capture their king.

If they killed Jun Changxiao, wouldn’t the Eternal Sect just be fish on a chopping board?

“Good!”

In Sect Master Jin’s furious gaze, a trace of imperceptible killing intent also arose.

Tonggu Zhenren caught it and hurriedly transmitted to Jun Changxiao: “Come back quickly, don’t be rash!”

The ten great immortal sect masters’ strength was all at peak Truth-Seeking Realm. Not to mention his disciple at lower rank—even if he himself went to battle, he might not win.

“Master.”

Jun Changxiao hovered above the wilderness with a solemn expression: “Since establishing our master-disciple relationship, this disciple has caused you much trouble. I feel deeply ashamed.”

“Ah.”

Tonggu Zhenren sighed: “This master is used to it.”

“This time, since the ten great immortal sects have come to target my Eternal Sect, please watch from afar with the seniors. Leave the rest to this disciple.” Jun Changxiao said.

“…”

Tonggu Zhenren fell silent.

He definitely wasn’t comfortable letting Jun Changxiao face the ten great immortal sects alone, but looking at his extremely serious silhouette, he felt a faint expectation that his disciple could contend with the upper realm’s strongest force.

“Good.”

Tonggu Zhenren said: “This master will observe!”

“Old friend.”

“Let us retreat back—”

Turning his head, he discovered Qiye Zhenren, the Seven Sages of Piaomiao and others were already hovering far from Eternal Immortal Mountain, just short of pulling out watermelons to eat while saying, “This melon is really sweet.”

Damn!

You guys retreated way too fast!

…

Tonggu Zhenren and his entourage chose not to participate in the matters between the Eternal Sect and the ten great immortal sects, taking an observer’s position hovering outside the mountain gate.

Of course.

This was also out of trust in Jun Changxiao.

Through two years of contact, they didn’t believe this kid was an idiot.

Since he didn’t plan to let them participate and dared challenge the Qianyin Immortal Sect master to single combat, he should have confidence or some trump card.

“Old friend, your disciple is extraordinary. Perhaps he’ll create a miracle.”

“I hope so!”

…

“Come.”

Jun Changxiao raised his hand, making a provocative gesture: “Quick battle, quick decision.”

The Qianyin Immortal Sect master suppressed his fury and flew over. His exceptionally crafted robe billowed without wind, his gaze containing undisguised killing intent as he said: “Arrogance requires paying a price.”

“Whoosh—”

Suddenly, Jun Changxiao rushed before him, his right hand enhanced with heaven and earth attributes and various special effects, fiercely striking out.

“Crack crack crack!”

“Crack crack crack!”

Several hundred zhang of space shattered, forming a dense spiderweb pattern.

“Boom!”

The earth caved in, dust flying!
