Although he had consecutively gone to settle accounts with two Mystic-rank sects and had a little unpleasantness with the Boundary Hall, this time Jun Changxiao truly hadn’t actively provoked trouble—he’d even accidentally saved the world.
If Yao Mengying hadn’t obtained the Innate Sacred Demon Body, the current situation would have enabled the Demon Ancestor, who could freely enter the Demon Delusional Domain.
Setting aside whether Jun Changxiao was a villain, just this Demon Delusional Race boss alone was filled with hostility toward the entire world. Letting him control an army of a million would inevitably trigger a bloodbath.
Wait! I freaking saved the world—why are you all targeting me?
Jun Changxiao suddenly realized this point, and that feeling of having grievances but nowhere to express them immediately became intense.
No helping it. You saved the world, but no one knows! Even if you told the story in front of the whole world, you’d probably be considered a lunatic.
“Sigh.”
After being fierce and angry, Tonggu Zhenren calmed down and let out a long sigh.
For the sake of the ten-year agreement, he was forced to take him as a disciple, only to have him repeatedly provoke huge troubles. Being this master was too difficult.
“Master.”
Jun Changxiao suddenly became serious, saying: “This disciple’s affairs, this disciple will resolve himself. I won’t implicate you, old sir, or Senior Qiye.”
Damn it! So what if it’s the Ten Great Immortal Sects! If they really come to the Eternal Sect causing trouble, worst case we’ll fight them to the bitter end!
Whoever chickens out is a grandson!
Jun Changxiao dared to think this way because of the Four Generations Difficult to Collect Blade, because of the Great Sage Set, because of the million-strong Demon Delusional Army. Although in terms of peak power he might not be able to defeat the Ten Great Immortal Sects, if they wanted to finish off the Eternal Sect, how could they not pay a price!
“Hmph!”
Tonggu Zhenren glared at him: “If this master stood aside, why would I rush here from so far away?”
Mainly because Dog Leftover had caused another huge problem, making him unable to control his emotions when he arrived just now. In fact, today he came precisely to provide backing!
Doing this much as a master, Tonggu Zhenren had done his utmost.
“Swoosh!”
“Swoosh!”
Outside Eternal Immortal Mountain, streams of light flew over at extreme speed, landing on the sect’s main peak where the defensive system was temporarily disabled.
Those who came were Tonggu Zhenren and Qiye Zhenren’s friend group—the Misty Seven Sages, the Leisurely Scattered Immortal, and many unfamiliar faces.
The rogue cultivators supporting them this time were more numerous than last time, showing that the danger brought by the Ten Great Immortal Sects was stronger than that of the various races.
“Old Tonggu!”
A chubby old man said: “The problem is very serious!”
“The Innate Sacred Demon Body appearing may endanger the entire Upper Realm. Are you certain you want to protect it, even willing to oppose the Ten Great Immortal Sects?” an elegant middle-aged man asked.
A master protecting his disciple was no problem. But the Ten Great Immortal Sects sending powerhouses had legitimate cause, after all, the Demon Body belonged to the Demon Ancestor back then. Who knew whether the inheritor would walk his path in the future, thus bringing calamity to the entire Upper Realm?
If they protected her today and something happened later, wouldn’t that make them accomplices to tyranny?
Their considerations weren’t without merit. After all, no one could guarantee whether the Demon Body possessor could walk the right path in the future. If she committed heinous crimes, today’s actions would make them sinners of the Upper Realm.
Qiye Zhenren fell silent.
He had always considered things from his old friend’s perspective, so he called people to shake for support, but had overlooked the risks inherent in the Demon Body possessor herself.
At this point, if ordinary people were asked to choose, they too would stand on the Ten Great Immortal Sects’ side, because no one dared guarantee the Demon Body possessor was a good person.
“Seniors!”
Jun Changxiao cupped his hands: “The Innate Sacred Demon Body was inherited by my sect’s disciple. This seat can swear to the heavens that she will absolutely not commit cruel and inhumane deeds or exterminate humanity!”
“Young man.”
The chubby old man said: “No one can guarantee future matters.”
“Help if you want to stay, leave if you find it troublesome.”
Tonggu Zhenren said impatiently: “Future matters can be discussed in the future. Where do all these useless words come from!”
Jun Changxiao was immediately deeply moved.
Honestly, he had no certainty in his heart whether Yao Mengying would become a heinous demoness in the future. But Master unconditionally supporting him was the greatest trust!
“After so many years, your foul temper hasn’t changed one bit!” the chubby old man roared.
The others shook their heads one after another.
Though Tonggu Zhenren’s words were harsh, they didn’t turn to leave. After all, knowing him for so many years, wasn’t it precisely this quality they appreciated—flaws and all!
“Everyone.”
Qiye Zhenren said: “The Demon Body in the Demon Ancestor’s body endangered the Upper Realm, but in this young girl’s body it might save the world. So I’m willing to believe Sect Master Jun!”
Good friends must show strong support.
“Sigh.”
The elegant middle-aged man shook his head: “I said these two old fellows play chess together every day—their brains were bound to break together sooner or later!”
“Forget it, forget it.”
The chubby old man said: “We’ll go crazy with these two.”
The rogue cultivators who came to help turned around, like an iron wall protecting Jun Changxiao and these young people behind them, their eyes flashing with crazy light.
The Ten Great Immortal Sects definitely wouldn’t let the Demon Body possessor go. Since they chose to stay, they were already prepared to clash head-on with them. Honestly, this was a bit exciting!
Jun Changxiao cupped his hands, saying seriously: “Today my sect faces difficulty, and you seniors have come to help. This junior will never forget this, and will repay it abundantly in the future!”
“Snap!”
“Snap!”
Li Shangtian stood in the distance, frantically pressing the photo button.
Too many people came—remembering them all would be difficult, so the best method was to keep photos of them. This was truly never forgetting.
“Whoosh whoosh!”
“Whoosh whoosh whoosh!”
Just then, powerful imposing auras suddenly surged outside Eternal Immortal Mountain, making the various rogue cultivators who came to help immediately become solemn-faced.
The people from the Ten Great Immortal Sects had arrived!
“Swoosh!”
“Swoosh!”
Sure enough, the instant the imposing auras pressed down, streams of light trailing radiance hovered in midair outside the mountain gate, revealing elders with profound gazes and immortal bearing.
“…” Gu Zhaoxi’s expression was somewhat spectacular.
Only ten people came, but any one of them exuded an aura that seemed no weaker than Senior Tonggu—their strength was definitely at Peak Truth-Seeking Realm!
Just for an Innate Sacred Demon Body—was it necessary to mobilize such a huge lineup?
“Damn!”
Jun Changxiao cursed in his heart.
Though he had prepared for battle, the Ten Great Immortal Sects directly dispatching ten Peak Truth-Seeking Realm cultivators—if not for Master standing in front to bear the brunt, he would probably be panicking right now.
Under absolute power, the suppression of presence was extremely strong.
“Tonggu Zhenren.”
A powerhouse from Soaring Heaven Immortal Sect said indifferently: “Your disciple’s sect has an inheritor of the Innate Sacred Demon Body. For the safety of the world, you should quickly have him hand her over.”
Those who came were all old foxes. Seeing so many people standing before the Eternal Sect’s great hall, clearly intent on protecting, they cut straight to the chase without beating around the bush.
“What if we don’t?” Tonggu Zhenren said.
An Immortal Sect powerhouse sneered: “Then the same fate as the Demon Delusional Domain from one hundred thousand years ago.”
As the Upper Realm’s most elite Ten Great Immortal-rank sects, their words were even more arrogant and domineering than annual VIP user Jun Changxiao.
“Swoosh!”
“Swoosh!”
Just then, follow-up powerhouses from the Ten Great Immortal Sects arrived one after another.
Those who could arrive fastest either had cultivation at the Truth-Seeking Realm level or were at Peak Core Rotation Realm.
“Whoosh!”
“Whoosh whoosh!”
Every time another Immortal Sect powerhouse arrived, the powerful aura gathered at Eternal Immortal Mountain increased by one portion, and that killing intent and true spirit suppression became increasingly distinct.
Standing behind the Sect Master, Yao Mengying felt waves of stabbing pain in her heart.
This scene… made her feel incomparably familiar. Wasn’t this exactly the nightmare she’d had back then!
