Starting With 100 Million Lives

Brother Cheng really did it on purpose.

But so what?

This brother has the system hack, there's nothing to fear.

"Not appropriate?"

He glanced back at the three anxious and disgruntled Elders and Leng Huahan, without offering any reply.

His gaze finally fell on the two female Outer Disciples.

"Are you afraid?"

The two female disciples were indeed quite shocked.

However, such major matters didn't require them to consider the consequences.

When asked by the Founder, naturally, they would say...

"Not afraid!"

The two girls answered loudly in unison.

"Why aren't you afraid?"

"The Founder is so powerful, he will definitely protect us!"

With their sweet words, Brother Cheng was overjoyed.

"Good~!"

Smiling, he gave them a thumbs-up, then shrugged at the remaining four people with a meaningful expression.

The meaning was clear, the sect's top management was more cowardly than the Outer Disciples.

Leng Huahan and Yuan Zhe almost ended up with brain aneurysms.

Is this a question of fear or not?

But now, no matter what they said, it was already too late. They hadn't even left the Celestial Pavilion when over a thousand members of the Immortal Guard Army surrounded them outside.

Leading them was a middle-aged man with a black beard, dressed in Immortal Armor and holding a spear.

"Come out!"

The young man pointed his spear forward, and a thousand members of the Immortal Guard Army shouted aggressively in unison.

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

An array of strange and colorful Magical Treasures hovered in mid-air, exuding an aura of destruction.

The Immortal Artifacts all lit up, ready to strike at any moment.

The murderous aura was palpable, causing even the other people in the commerce association to feel suffocated.

Still, they weren't too worried. After all, in the Middle Immortal Realm, no one dared to be so daring as to bring a large troop to storm into the Celestial Pavilion.

"That is Deputy Commander Chu Yue of the Immortal Guard Army, a Second Grade Immortal Venerable!"

"His sister is the Lady of the City, and Chu Chao, who was killed just now, was his son. Now things have really gotten serious..."

"This elite Immortal Guard Army is comprised of experts at or above Third Grade Profound Immortal!"

"Indeed, powerful individuals can't suppress local potentates!"

All eyes turned sympathetically toward Jiang Cheng, realizing this would be difficult to settle.

Sure, Jiang Cheng had three Immortal Venerables backing him, but here in the Immortal City, the City Lord hadn't even personally intervened yet.

Not to mention that their numbers were not on the same scale.

Inside the Celestial Pavilion, Ye Yang Immortal King and Miao Yu watched the scene outside indifferent.

For an Immortal King, Danhua City's forces could be eliminated with a flick of a hand, so they viewed the situation with a detached interest.

Ding Rui respectfully inquired from the side: "Do you need them expelled?"

With so many people blocking the door, could they still conduct business?

Miao Yu slightly shook her head: "No need."

"I'd like to see what he relies on."

The earlier conversation had not put Jiang Cheng in her good graces.

She had never encountered someone so reckless and disrespectful.

Yet, she held a position of authority and would not lose composure over something trivial.

Ye Yang Immortal King also commented coolly, "Even if they can hold off this lot, there's still the City Lord of Danhua City and another two thousand Immortal Guard Army."

"The conflict is now open, and even if he regrets and seeks help, we can't intervene in others' feuds."

"He's missed his only chance to live."

"Leave him to his fate."

Ding Rui agreed, the Immortal King made sense.

If Jiang Cheng had backed down earlier and agreed to Miao Yu's terms, he might have slipped away unnoticed.

Now that the enemy was at the gate, it was too late for everything.

The Celestial Pavilion couldn't change its neutral tradition for him.

"Ancestor, what should we do now?"

Su Ye and Su Meng faced the situation. It would be self-deceptive denial to say they weren't scared.

While Yuan Zhe, Yuan Wu, and Yuan He, the three Immortal Venerables, remained silent, just watching Jiang Cheng.

Since the trouble was stirred up, let's see how you handle it.

Brother Cheng was feeling disappointed.

If what the inside people said was true, the opposing force was only one-third of their strength.

Did they really look down on him that much?

"Just find a good angle and watch the show."

Having said that, he walked out of the commerce association alone to face the thousand strong adversaries.

Leng Huahan was anxious and quickly followed him out.

"Ancestor, don't act recklessly. It's best to de-escalate the situation..."

Currently, he had no trust in this Ancestor; a casual remark could escalate the matter further, truly a worrisome concern.

"Just play your part as a spectator."

Brother Cheng ignored him, busy expressing his displeasure to the opposing side.

"Is this the extent of your power?"

"Without the Ascension Battle nowadays, these Immortal Cities are really declining. Even Profound Immortals can join the Immortal Guard Army."

Thinking back to the Ascension Battle back then, the top ten Immortal Cities in the Lower Immortal Realm usually had seven to eight hundred Profound Immortals.

This is the Middle Immortal Realm, and Danhua City is a central Immortal City in the Celestial Domain, yet this is all?

As the representative of the Qianlan Celestial Realm, it's quite subpar, isn't it?

Such words were adding fuel to the fire.

The entire crowd was in an uproar, and Leng Huahan almost fainted.

Was he dissatisfied that the other side already didn't hate him enough?

Chu Yue took two deep breaths, struggling to regain composure.

"Are you the one who killed my son?"

Facing the spear pointed at him, Brother Cheng nodded honestly.

"That's right, it was me."

Whether it was Yuan Zhe and Yuan Wu in the rear or Miao Yu and Ye Yang Immortal King above, they all shook their heads silently.

Such direct admission, offering no explanation, showed a lack of savvy.

If you really had to fight, at least establish a moral high ground beforehand.

Chu Yue's eyes turned red with anger, his fury turned into laughter, "So, it was indeed your satisfactory act!"

"Don't praise it so plainly."

Brother Cheng graciously accepted the 'praise' from the other side.

"I personally enjoy helping others, and since you had no time to teach your son, I did it for you."

"No need to come here to thank me, after all, we do good deeds without seeking repayment."

Everyone's jaws dropped; was this something a person would say?

Miao Yu above suddenly felt more balanced.

It turned out, his way of speaking was consistent with everyone, not just targeted at her alone.

As for Leng Huahan, he was already in despair.

Everything was ruined.

The ties were irreparably severed.

Don't mention Chu Yue already being fuming, even if he originally had no plans to start a fight, he now had no choice but to engage.

"Die!"

The spear arched a colossal rainbow light, instantly engulfing Jiang Cheng.

"Kill!"

"Destroy him!"

In an instant, a thousand members of the Immortal Guard Army charged forward in unison.

"Not good!"

Leng Huahan's face changed dramatically, although these thousand members were still only Profound Immortals, a coordinated thousand would be impossible for an ordinary Immortal Venerable to withstand head-on under the battle formation's support.

Not to mention he was only a Third Grade Golden Immortal.

"Uncle Master!"

He quickly turned back for help.

Though the three Elders Yuan Zhe, Yuan Wu, Yuan He hadn't intended to watch passively forever, they knew it was their turn to act.

After all, the Sect Leader had entrusted the Ancestor to them; they couldn't let him die here.

However, the three Elders had just started summoning their Immortal Artefacts and Magical Treasures when they stopped.

For they realized, it was unnecessary now.

The immense rainbow light from the spear was suddenly dispelled as they watched.
