An Immortal Light entered the Myriad Mountains. It faded away to reveal Wu Liang.

 

He sensed the mass of cultivators around him and gapped. [What’s going on? Why are they all gathered here?]

 

It was a mere afterthought, focused mostly on wiping away the shame and getting back that Sarira.

 

Wu Liang entered Chen Changan’s Absolute Domain, notifying its owner.

 

“A powerhouse at the level of Shen Wu. Who is it?” Chen Changan vanished from Soaring Immortal Mountain, appearing before Wu Liang.

 

[This old baldy? Didn’t he wet his pants from the scare I gave him last time?]

 

Chen Changan also sensed another, even mightier force, coming from within Wu Liang. [He’s up to no good, that’s for sure.]

 

Just what he wanted.

 

He did not mind swatting the old monk, since he would net Chen Changan plenty of points, and the chance for a Deadbeat Chest drop.

 

Wu Liang flinched at Chen Changan’s appearance out of the blue.

 

“Grandmaster, where are you going?”

 

Chen Changan had no cultivation aura around him, average and dull.

 

The old monk wasn’t stupid enough to buy it. He suffered enough last time.

 

His confidence was bolstered by Abbot’s Vajra Demon Pestle, and spoke,

 

“Have you been well, benefactor?”

 

Chen Changan smiled. “Quite.”

 

As Chen Changan showed no sign of attacking, Wu Liang unleashed all his power. The image of Chen Changan kneeling before him and begging for his life came to the surface. The shame would be washed away in Chen Changan’s blood.

 

The raging power surged higher, startling the cultivators in Myriad Mountains.

 

“What heavy pressure!”

 

“An Immortal Slayer?”

 

“No, the aura is far worse than an Immortal Slayer’s.”

 

“An Upper Realm Immortal then?”

 

Immortals keep showing up these days, more often than in the last century.

 

The denizens felt the impending danger.

 

Chen Changan was the only one who could withstand these lofty Immortals.

 

They were nothing before these beings, unable to put up even the slightest defense.

 

Chen Changan faced Wu Liang up above.

 

The monk focused, letting out all his power, ready to strike with Vajra Demon Pestle at a moment’s notice.

 

Chen Changan sized Wu Liang up. As this was still the Absolute Domain, he was absolute. No preparations required. He didn’t even need to snap his fingers; the mere idea would be enough to snuff Wu Liang out.

 

[Wonder what face he’d make if he knew?]

 

“Grandmaster, they say Buddha is merciful and virtuous, but if I didn’t know any better, I’d say you’re trying to kill me, judging by the boiling killing intent you’re nursing.”

 

Chen Changan gave him a curious look. [Why would this guy return after his last scare? And for me in particular.]

 

Chen Changan was most willing to oblige in ending him if he so desired.

 

Wu Liang’s bloodlust rose, despite his compassionate look, with his hands in prayer.  “Benefactor, you’ve humiliated me, and I can’t let it stand. You forced me to endure Buddha fires for so long.”

 

“Humiliation?” Chen Changan smiled. “The way I remember, it was you who begged me on his knees. I think you’ve got the wrong guy if you’re after revenge.”

 

Wu Liang’s fury entered his eyes, snapping, “Enough!”

 

A dreadful power wave exploded. Chen Changan was like a rock, riding the wave without a care. Not even his clothes moved.

 

“Humph, I never imagined such an expert would be on the Nine Province Continent, but today, you will die by my hand and wash away the shame!”

 

Chen Changan smiled. “Oh, I can’t wait. What gave you the confidence to pull it off?”

 

Wu Liang was scared witless the last time from Special Effects, and that was outside the Absolute Domain.

 

Chen Changan believed using Special Effects again would result in Wu Liang begging again. But unlike before, when Chen Changan couldn’t kill him, the old monk was in his Domain now, at his whim.

 

Wu Liang unleashed his mighty Immortal Lord pressure, letting all cultivators pale and shiver under its might.

 

In the Heavenly Fox Clan, Bai Yue and Ah’Miao cultivated when the pressure came.

 

Ah’Miao couldn’t bear it.

 

Bai Yue’s Immortal Mark flared to life and blocked it. She opened her eyes and gazed in the source’s direction. “Immortal Lord pressure! Another Dao Protector came. Then the Immortal Domain geniuses must be here.”

 

Seeing Ah’Miao struggling, she touched the catgirl’s forehead, lending a bit of energy. Ah’Miao soon won over the pressure and relaxed.

 

The catgirl shivered?”Bai Yue, what a frightening pressure. Did another Immortal descend?”

 

Bai Yue nodded. “No need to worry. With Senior in the Myriad Mountains, he won’t spare anyone trespassing into his Domain.”

 

Ah’Miao smiled, “Senior is absolute. No Immortal, no matter how strong, could match Senior.”
