468: The Immortal Emperors, terrified, knelt down.
“Reporting to the Sect Master, the visiting guests have arrived!”
As soon as they arrived at the entrance of the Qingtian Immortal Sect's Main Hall, Li Big Saber bowed and saluted the interior of the Main Hall.
“Mhm, invite them in!” Just as Li Big Saber's voice fell, Jiang Chen's calm voice drifted out from inside the Main Hall.
“Yes, Sect Master!”
Li Big Saber acknowledged, then turned and gestured invitingly to the Blue-Robed Middle-aged Man and the others behind him, saying, “Everyone, our Sect Master invites you.”
“Good, good, thank you, little friend, for leading the way.”
Upon hearing this, the Blue-Robed Middle-aged Man and the others smiled, cupped their hands toward Li Big Saber, and then entered the Main Hall, all harboring nervous feelings.
It wasn't that they were timid; it was because the Heavenly Emperor said Jiang Chen could defeat an Immortal Emperor with a single move. Facing such a terrifying powerhouse, they truly felt a bit apprehensive.
Inside the Main Hall, Jiang Chen was sitting on the main seat, enjoying Liu Shu's exquisite massage technique.
On both sides inside the Main Hall, more than a dozen serving tables had already been set up, upon which brewed Immortal Dao Tea was placed.
Seeing the dozen-plus people enter, Jiang Chen, seated on the main seat, immediately smiled and said, “Welcome, Fellow Daoists, to my Qingtian Immortal Sect. Please sit down, and we can discuss whatever matters you have.”
Hearing Jiang Chen's voice, the eyes of the Blue-Robed Middle-aged Man and the others immediately focused on Jiang Chen. After sizing him up, they all politely clasped their fists and said, “Thank you, Fellow Daoist, for your hospitality. Then we shall trouble you.”
After speaking, the Blue-Robed Middle-aged Man nodded slightly toward the remaining dozen-plus Immortal Emperors, and they each took a seat at a serving table.
Although Jiang Chen did not reveal his identity, given his Peak Immortal Emperor Realm cultivation and the fact that he was sitting in the main seat, they knew without thinking that Jiang Chen was the Sect Master of this mysterious Qingtian Immortal Sect.
Facing a powerhouse who could defeat an Immortal Emperor in a single move, they dared not disobey his wishes.
“Haha, please, everyone, have a sip of the freshly picked Immortal Dao Tea.”
Seeing that the Blue-Robed Middle-aged Man and the others had taken their seats, Jiang Chen smiled and invited everyone to drink tea.
Although he knew the Blue-Robed Middle-aged Man and the others were here to discuss the Demon Race matter, since they had already sat down, he should at least let them drink some tea first, lest it seem like his hospitality was lacking.
“Thank you, Fellow Daoist!”
Upon hearing this, the Blue-Robed Middle-aged Man and the others dared not refuse Jiang Chen's goodwill. After cupping their hands in thanks, they picked up the Immortal Dao Tea from the serving table and slowly took a sip.
After the dozen-plus people had all taken a sip of tea, the Blue-Robed Middle-aged Man exchanged glances with the rest, then stood up with a smile and cupped his hands towards Jiang Chen, saying, “Fellow Daoist, I am the Alliance Leader of the Anti-Demon Alliance in the Immortal Universe. Due to the recent invasion by the Demon Race, and having heard that the Hongmeng Immortal Realm possesses a powerhouse like you, I specifically came here to invite you to join the Alliance and resist the Demon Race together.”
“As long as Fellow Daoist is willing to join the Alliance, I am willing to yield the position of Alliance Leader and follow your command.”
Following the Blue-Robed Middle-aged Man's words, the remaining dozen-plus Immortal Emperors also stood up and unanimously cupped their hands towards Jiang Chen, saying, “As long as Fellow Daoist joins the Alliance, we are willing to follow your command.”
Since they wanted to invite a powerhouse like Jiang Chen to join the Alliance, they certainly couldn't let Jiang Chen be Subordinate to anyone else. They had to show Jiang Chen absolute respect, or they wouldn't be able to move him.
“Haha, everyone is too polite. This Sect also has a responsibility to resist the Demon Race. Let's forget about the position of Alliance Leader. This Sect Master will send people to cooperate with you in eliminating the Demon Race!”
Seeing that the Blue-Robed Middle-aged Man and the others actually wanted to honor him as the Alliance Leader, Jiang Chen took a sip of the Immortal Dao Tea that Liu Shu held to his lips, and said calmly.
Although he didn't know how many Immortal Emperor-level Devil Emperors the Demon Race had sent, Piao Wuren and the other four, having absorbed Divine Source during this time, had probably long since replaced their Immortal Essence with Divine Power, achieving the Pseudo-God Realm.
As long as he sent the five of them, they could quickly eliminate the Demon Race. Why would he need to serve as an Alliance Leader?
“Hiss, send people to eliminate the Demon Race?”
Hearing Jiang Chen's words, the Blue-Robed Middle-aged Man and the others looked at each other in dismay and gasped.
Jiang Chen's statement indicated that within the Qingtian Immortal Sect, he was not the only powerhouse; there were others as well.
The Blue-Robed Middle-aged Man and the others were shocked for a moment, then they all bowed and saluted, saying, “Thank you, Fellow Daoist, for your assistance. After the Demon Race is eliminated, we will surely erect statues for you and spread your Karma throughout the Immortal Universe, ensuring that all living beings in the entire Universe remember your contributions.”
Since Jiang Chen was unwilling to serve as the Alliance Leader, they dared not press the issue. As long as Jiang Chen was willing to help, their purpose for this trip would be achieved.
After all, even if the people Jiang Chen sent couldn't eliminate the Demon Race, as long as Jiang Chen exerted effort, he would be onboard the Anti-Demon Alliance's ship, and in the future, no matter what happened, Jiang Chen wouldn't stand idly by.
“Heh, please wait here for a moment. This Sect Master will arrange the personnel for you now.”
Hearing that the Blue-Robed Middle-aged Man and the others wanted to erect statues for him and spread his Karma, Jiang Chen chuckled lightly and paid it no mind. Instead, he sent a Voice Transmission to Piao Wuren, telling him to bring Pu Liuren and the others to the Main Hall.
Soon after Jiang Chen's Voice Transmission, Piao Wuren brought Pu Liuren and the other four to the center of the Main Hall, bowed and saluted Jiang Chen, saying, “Subordinate greets the Sect Master. May I ask what the Sect Master commands?”
At this moment, although Piao Wuren and the five others were still at the Peak Immortal Emperor Realm, faint traces of terrifying Divine Power Qi radiated from their bodies, causing the space in the entire Main Hall to warp.
“Hiss, these... these five people are actually all Peak Immortal Emperors. This Qingtian Immortal Sect is truly too terrifying, isn't it?”
“Heavens! Don't just focus on their cultivation! Haven't you noticed that the aura of power emanating from them is different from ours, and is very similar to the aura of power from the gate of connecting to the gods?”
“Hiss, it really is the power aura from the gate of connecting to the gods! Isn't that the power that, according to legend, only true Deities can control? How could it appear on Immortal Emperors?”
“Holy crap! What exactly is going on? How do the people of the Qingtian Immortal Sect possess the power of Deities?”
Seeing the appearance of the five people including Piao Wuren, the Blue-Robed Middle-aged Man and the others were first startled by the five individuals' Peak Immortal Emperor cultivation.
Then, they were stunned speechless by the Divine Power Qi radiating from the five individuals, frantically discussing it via Voice Transmission.
Although it was indeed astonishing that the Qingtian Immortal Sect possessed five Immortal Emperors, what shocked them more was the Divine Power Qi on Piao Wuren's body.
They had only ever felt this kind of aura on the Divine Item known as the gate of connecting to the gods, located in the center of the Immortal Universe.
Legend says that the gate of connecting to the gods is the road leading to the Supreme Divine Realm, and the aura of power pervading it is exactly what The Piao Wuren brothers possess.
However, the power on it absolutely cannot be absorbed. Every Immortal Emperor who dared to steal Divine Power died and vanished.
It was simply unbelievable that The Piao Wuren brothers now possessed Divine Power.
Looking at The Piao Wuren brothers bowing in the center of the Main Hall, Jiang Chen spoke calmly, “Wuren, the Demon Race is invading the Immortal Universe. This Sect Master intends to send you all to eliminate the Demon Race. Go with them later, eliminate the Demon Race, and then return.”
“Yes, Sect Master! Subordinates will certainly not fail the mission!” Piao Wuren and the five others heard this, didn't hesitate in the slightest, and immediately accepted the command in unison.
“Mhm.”
Jiang Chen nodded, then looked at the wide-mouthed Blue-Robed Middle-aged Man and said, “Fellow Daoist, please guide these five Subordinates of mine to the location invaded by the Demon Race. They will use their full strength to eliminate the Demon Race.”
Hearing Jiang Chen's voice, the Blue-Robed Middle-aged Man snapped back to attention and hurriedly knelt down in panic, saying, “I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare! I dare not call Senior 'Fellow Daoist.' This Junior was blind and failed to recognize Senior's true identity. Please do not take offense, Senior!”
Just as the Blue-Robed Middle-aged Man knelt down, the remaining dozen-plus Immortal Emperors instantly reacted, all kneeling on the ground and saying, “This Junior was blind and offended Senior. Please do not blame us, Senior!”
Although they weren't sure why Piao Wuren and the others possessed Divine Power, for someone who wielded Divine Power, crushing them would be like crushing an ant. Since even such figures referred to themselves as Subordinates before Jiang Chen, how could they dare to treat Jiang Chen as an equal?
