Before he finished speaking, Li Chengtian flicked his finger, and two subtle yet sharp bursts of energy instantly struck Wufa Yutian's Qihai acupoint.
Their cultivation was instantly sealed, and their realms plummeted from the original half-step carefree realm to the Vajra mortal realm, with almost all of their demonic powers lost.
"You...you..." Wufa and Wutian stared at Li Chengtian in terror, too frightened to utter a single word.
They were originally ordered to come to Beili, just to bring the Confucian immortal Gu Chen back to Tianwaitian.
But unexpectedly, Gu Chen had such a master by his side.
A journey through a mystical realm?
That's probably not all! With just a light touch, his cultivation level plummeted.
It's really terrifying!
"What do you mean, 'you'?" Mingyue Xin suddenly interjected, addressing Wufa and Wutian, "You two idiots, the Venerable One only crippled your cultivation."
"This is already an immense favor to you; why don't you thank His Excellency? If it were me, you two would both be dead by now!"
Chapter 110 Terrifying Strength, Baili Luo Chen Submits
"Your Excellency? What Your Excellency?" The Unruly Envoy gritted his teeth and said, "When did such a person as Your Excellency appear in the martial arts world of Beili?"
"How dare you! How dare you be disrespectful to His Excellency? Slap him!" After Mingyue Xin finished speaking, she gently waved her right hand, and several slapping sounds were heard. The already seriously injured Venerable Wufa's face was swollen into a pig's head.
"Unrespected Envoy!" Upon seeing this, the white-haired immortal and the purple-robed immortal wanted to make a move.
However, the sight of the two lawless envoys being utterly defeated by Li Chengtian had already horrified them.
Those who act lawlessly are easily defeated, so their actions would be like throwing an egg against a rock.
The white-haired immortal and the purple-clad immortal looked at each other, and ultimately chose to remain patient and not act rashly.
They knew full well that the young man before them, who called himself the Emperor of Daqing, possessed unfathomable strength and was far beyond what they, the "fifth, sixth, and seventh," could easily contend with.
"We at Tianwaitian have always acted with integrity and uprightness. We will report today's events to our sect leader truthfully." The white-haired immortal forced himself to remain calm, his voice cold yet revealing a hint of helplessness.
Li Chengtian smiled calmly, as if everything was under his control: "If Tianwaitian truly wishes to be my enemy, I, Li Chengtian, am ready to serve you at any time."
But before that, I hope you can consider cooperating with me. I can help you achieve your goals in the Outer Heavens.
Furthermore, I can also help your sect leader emerge from seclusion as soon as possible.
"You...you actually knew our sect leader was in seclusion?" The white-haired immortal frowned deeply, his jaw nearly dropping in surprise.
“I not only know that your sect leader is in seclusion, but I also know that he has been in seclusion for more than ten years,” Li Chengtian said. “Your purpose in coming here is not simply to bring the Confucian Immortal back to the Outer Heavens.”
You still want to bring Baili Dongjun back to Tianwaitian, right? After all, only a peerless genius with an innate martial vein can cultivate the same techniques as your sect leader, and only then can your sect leader emerge from seclusion.”
"How...how did you know?" The white-haired immortal was even more shocked. The man in front of him had repeatedly refreshed his understanding.
He knew very well that as long as Bei Li was present, Tianwaitian would never be able to fight its way back from the frigid northern lands.
“You don’t need to know this,” Li Chengtian said slowly. “I just need you to pass on a message to your sect leader, saying that even if you don’t need a peerless talent with an innate martial vein, I can still help him.”
"Alright!" The white-haired immortal naturally believed that Li Chengtian's words were true, so he agreed.
After all, whether they seek out the Confucian immortal Gu Chen or Baili Dongjun, what they want is for their sect leader to emerge from seclusion as soon as possible and take charge of the overall situation.
Once the sect leader emerges from seclusion, the Outer Heavens will no longer be a no-man's land.
After saying this, the white-haired immortal nodded to the purple-robed immortal, and then helped the two envoys, Wufa and Wutian, who were no longer able to stand on their own, to leave in a sorry state.
At this moment, a burst of rapid footsteps came.
Baili Dongjun rushed in, panting, followed by Baili Chengfeng, who looked anxious. Clearly, they had been drawn there by the strange occurrence in the courtyard.
"Your Excellency, this is..." Baili Chengfeng was stunned when he saw the scene in the courtyard.
Li Chengtian did not answer, but Baili Dongjun briefly explained what had happened. After hearing this, Baili Chengfeng admired Li Chengtian's strength even more.
"Your Highness, why did you rush here in such a hurry?"
At this moment, Baili Dongjun seemed to notice something amiss and immediately said to Baili Chengfeng, "Look at you, if you're going to come, you should have come earlier. Just now, Master Gu Chen's Western Chu Sword Song and Asking the Heavens..."
And His Excellency crippled two half-step Free and Unfettered Realm envoys from the Outer Heavens with a single move. You've truly missed out on so much.
"Oh?" Baili Chengfeng was taken aback upon hearing this, and felt a pang of annoyance.
If he hadn't gotten entangled with Wen Luoyu halfway through, he really might have met what Baili Dongjun had described.
It should be understood that for a martial artist, witnessing a peerless master in action is one of the most direct ways to improve their own cultivation.
After all, his cultivation had not progressed for a long time since he married Wen Luoyu and had a child named Baili Dongjun.
Although his cultivation level was not bad among those who joined the army, he still didn't have much of a chance of winning against a true master.
What martial artist doesn't want to further improve their skills?
But he immediately remembered the purpose of his visit and said to Li Chengtian, "Your Excellency, my father, the Marquis in Red Robes, has returned and says he wishes to meet with you."
No sooner had Baili Chengfeng finished speaking than a series of steady and powerful footsteps came from outside the courtyard.
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw an elderly man dressed in red, with a dignified bearing, slowly walking into the courtyard. He was none other than Baili Luochen, the Marquis of Zhenxi of Beili Kingdom.
"grandfather!"
Upon seeing that it was Baili Luochen, Baili Dongjun immediately skipped and jumped over to him.
Then, he excitedly asked Baili Luochen, "Grandpa, what brings you here?"
"Little Dongjun, you're allowed to come here, but Grandpa can't?" Baili Luochen looked at Baili Dongjun with favoritism, then sized him up before clicking his tongue and saying, "You've lost weight! Little Dongjun, making a living in the martial world isn't easy, is it?"
"Actually... it wasn't that bad," Baili Dongjun said with a smile. "Grandpa, you have no idea. During my travels in the martial world this time, I encountered quite a few extraordinary people and events, such as..."
At this point, Baili Dongjun hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.
Because he realized that he had just lost his composure.
Standing beside him and Baili Luochen were not only Baili Chengfeng and Gu Chen, but also Li Chengtian and Mingyue Xin.
Moreover, Li Chengtian was his superior, and doing so was disrespectful to Li Chengtian.
Baili Dongjun immediately pulled Baili Luochen to Li Chengtian's side and introduced him: "Your Excellency, this is my grandfather, Baili Luochen, the Red-Clothed Marquis of Beili and the Lord of Qiandong City."
Li Chengtian nodded slightly.
The man standing before me, Baili Luochen, though over sixty, already had a full head of silver hair.
But his imposing presence and the aura he exuded were all undeniably strong.
Baili Luochen then looked at Li Chengtian and said, "I heard from Chengfeng that you are the Emperor from the Daqing Kingdom?"
Li Chengtian nodded slightly, indicating that he had answered Baili Luochen's question.
"I heard from Chengfeng that you want our Qian Dong City Marquis's Mansion to submit to you and serve you?" Baili Luochen asked again.
Li Chengtian nodded slightly, indicating that his answer was affirmative.
Baili Luochen chuckled lightly: "Then you're overthinking it. I, the Marquis of Red Robes, am the Marquis of Beili, a sworn brother of Emperor Tai'an. You're asking me to betray my country and my sworn brother?"
If you don't have any strength, I won't...
Before he could finish speaking, Baili Luochen's voice abruptly stopped.
It wasn't that he didn't want to continue, but rather that he sensed a powerful aura that was suffocating him, rendering him unable to utter a single word.
Seeing Baili Luochen's discomfort, Baili Chengfeng and Baili Dongjun knelt down at the same time and pleaded with Li Chengtian, "Your Excellency, please show mercy."
Li Chengtian smiled slightly and quietly finished his practice.
Baili Luochen felt a lightness on his shoulders, as if he had lost his weight and was about to float away.
Once he had recovered somewhat, Baili Luochen immediately knelt down on one knee before Li Chengtian, cupping his hands in greeting, and said, "From the entire Red-Clothed Marquis's mansion in Beili Qiandong City,
"From this day forward, I am willing to serve Your Majesty wholeheartedly, at your beck and call!"
Li Chengtian nodded slightly after hearing this, then waved his hand to signal Baili Luochen to get up.
Then, he said to Baili Luochen, Baili Chengfeng, and Baili Dongjun: "Although the situation in Beili seems relatively stable now..."
But as you all surely know, serving a ruler is like serving a tiger. The most urgent task for surviving in chaotic times is undoubtedly to find a reliable patron.
Previously, your patron was Emperor Tai'an. But relying on others is not as good as relying on yourself. If you want to find a peaceful place in this chaotic world, you must find a powerful person to rely on.
And I am that powerful person!
Baili Luochen slowly stood up, his eyes flashing with a complex expression.
He knew that Li Chengtian's strength was unfathomable, and seeing him today only confirmed his judgment.
Baili Luochen looked around, and the retainers of the Zhenxi Marquis's mansion also looked at each other, clearly shocked by this sudden change.
“Your Excellency is absolutely right. In chaotic times, the strong are respected. My Baili family has been loyal for generations, but we have not been able to escape the suffering caused by the turmoil of the court. If we could receive Your Excellency's protection, we would be more than happy to do so.”
Baili Luochen's voice was calm and firm. He looked at Li Chengtian with both awe and expectation in his eyes.
Li Chengtian nodded in satisfaction, appreciating Baili Luochen's pragmatism and decisiveness.
Such an ally will undoubtedly be a powerful assistant in his future endeavors.
……
The following day, at the Marquis of Zhenxi's residence.
Baili Dongjun was awakened from his sleep by a bucket of cold water.
Baili Dongjun was jolted awake from his dream and jumped up from the ground. When he saw that it was Baili Chengfeng who had poured cold water on him, he was immediately furious: "Young Master, if you want to take revenge, can't you do it openly?"
