"Yu Ziyue greets the Supreme Emperor."
"Lu Wuhen greets the Supreme Emperor."
Yu Ziyue and Lu Wuhen flew into the sky, spirits soaring, but the moment they personally faced the pressure of a Void Immortal level expert, their expressions changed. They immediately bowed toward the old man dressed in a Nine-Dragon Imperial Robe.
The old man dressed in the Nine-Dragon Imperial Robe was none other than the Supreme Emperor of the Divine Feather Dynasty, Yuhua Ji.
"Yu Ziyue?"
Yuhua Ji looked at Yu Ziyue in surprise, then nodded. "I've heard of you. A fifth-grade spirit formation master—you're quite a talent. But judging by the situation, are you planning to help Lu Wuhen fight me? I advise you to think twice."
"This junior naturally has no wish to become enemies with the Supreme Emperor." Yu Ziyue gave a bitter smile. "It's just that the Sky Feather Pill has already been consumed."
"What?!" Yuhua Ji's expression changed. "Who did you give it to?"
"My granddaughter," Lu Wuhen said in a deep, muffled voice.
"Damn it!"
Yuhua Ji's expression turned ugly. The Sky Feather Pill indeed possessed the power to bring the dead back to life, but it could only show results when consumed by someone with the bloodline of the Feather Clan.
Of course, although the pill could revive the dead, it came with conditions.
First, the person's cultivation could not exceed Nascent Soul; second, after revival, all cultivation would be lost; third, the person could not have been dead for more than three days; fourth, each person could only consume it once in their lifetime, and the success rate was extremely low—only one percent.
Even so, the Sky Feather Pill was of immense significance to the Divine Feather Dynasty.
That was because it had been passed down by their ancestor, specifically to ensure that if any peerless prodigy among the descendants of the Yu Family were to die young, they could be revived once more.
"Hand over your granddaughter, and I'll spare your Lu Family." Yuhua Ji spoke to Lu Wuhen with a calm expression.
"Impossible." Lu Wuhen thrust out his neck. He was a Spirit Transformation cultivator, after all. How could he not know that Yuhua Ji wanted his granddaughter in order to refine her into a pill?
How could he possibly agree?
"So you want me to act personally?" Yuhua Ji sneered. The pressure of a Void Immortal Expert bore down on Lu Wuhen like a mountain.
Lu Wuhen's face instantly turned pale.
"Supreme Emperor, is there any other way to remedy this?" Yu Ziyue asked.
"No. If you know what's good for you, leave obediently. This matter had nothing to do with you in the first place." Yuhua Ji snorted. "I've already given you more than enough chances. You'd better cherish them."
Yu Ziyue's face paled at those words, but he still gritted his teeth. "If Lu Wuhen hadn't taken that palm for me back then, I would have died long ago."
"You're incorrigible!" Yuhua Ji snorted coldly.
Yu Ziyue and Lu Wuhen suddenly felt their chests tighten, and a bloody sweetness churned in their throats.
At the same time.
Li Zhōujūn, who was in Jiang City looking up and enjoying the spectacle, also noticed that the Void Immortal from the Divine Feather Dynasty was hostile toward the old man who had given him the umbrella.
[Ding: The system has issued a mission. If the host repays the favor of receiving the umbrella, he will obtain a generous reward.]
After hearing what the system said.
Li Zhōujūn knew he could no longer sit back and enjoy the show.
So Li Zhōujūn dusted off his backside, stepped through the air, and walked toward the sky with his hands behind his back.
Just as the atmosphere above grew taut and swords-drawn.
Yuhua Ji, Yu Ziyue, and Lu Wuhen all saw a young man in blue robes appear beside them, his expression calm.
"Mr. Li?" Yu Ziyue stared at Li Zhōujūn in astonishment.
Li Zhōujūn smiled faintly. "It looks like you've run into some trouble, Elder Yu. As it happens, I can repay you for the favor of giving me that umbrella."
The conversation between the people above had fallen into Li Zhōujūn's ears word for word, so he naturally knew Yu Ziyue's name.
"Who is this?" Lu Wuhen looked at Li Zhōujūn, who had suddenly arrived, then turned toward Yu Ziyue with a puzzled gaze.
"A gentleman with astonishing attainments in formations." Yu Ziyue chuckled, his expression relaxing. "We're saved."
Yet Yu Ziyue was inwardly bitter. Strictly speaking, it had been his disciple who gave Li Zhōujūn the umbrella back then, while he had merely benefited by association.
"Fellow Daoist, it would be best if you didn't interfere in this matter. After all, Lu Wuhen was the one who stole the Sky Feather Pill from my Divine Feather Dynasty first." Yuhua Ji looked at Li Zhōujūn, who had suddenly appeared. The arrogance he had shown earlier had faded, replaced by a measure of respect.
That was because he could not see through this young man.
Li Zhōujūn smiled. "I once read in the Qingzhou Records that the Sky Feather Pill can bring someone back to life?"
"That is indeed the case, but it can only revive someone who possesses the bloodline of my Feather Clan." Yuhua Ji said, "You should still refrain from interfering. Lu Wuhen actually dared to steal my Divine Feather Dynasty's pill, so I naturally won't spare him. As for Yu Ziyue, since he is standing with Lu Wuhen, I naturally can't let him off either."
By the end, Yuhua Ji's voice had turned icy cold.
"Li Mou doesn't want to interfere either, but Elder Yu once gave me an umbrella. How about this? I'll give you a promise. When your Divine Feather Dynasty is on the verge of destruction, I'll make one move for you. How does that sound?" Li Zhōujūn smiled.
Lu Wuhen, who was Yu Ziyue's friend, was in the wrong to begin with. The Supreme Emperor of the Divine Feather Dynasty had come to demand an explanation. Li Zhōujūn couldn't possibly strike him down again. If he did that, how would he be any different from an unreasonable evil cultivator?
"When my Divine Feather Dynasty is destroyed, you'll make one move?" Yuhua Ji laughed at first, then sneered. "Fellow Daoist, don't make such a bold claim. I'm afraid my Divine Feather Dynasty won't even be destroyed before you perish."
"Don't mistake kindness for weakness." Li Zhōujūn narrowed his eyes, though the corners of his lips curled upward.
At the same time, the entire sky and earth changed color. Countless thunderbolts roared overhead, resembling a scene of world annihilation.
"A... a True Immortal?!"
Yuhua Ji, Yu Ziyue, and Lu Wuhen instantly widened their eyes.
It was said that when a True Immortal grew angry, heaven and earth would change color. Today, that legend was happening right before them.
Feeling the pressure radiating from Li Zhōujūn.
Yuhua Ji felt as though he were a tiny boat floating amid raging waves.
As long as those giant waves willed it, he would die without a burial place.
"This old man is willing to give up the Sky Feather Pill. I hope the Esteemed Immortal will forgive me. This old man failed to recognize Mount Tai and offended the Esteemed Immortal. I hope the Esteemed Immortal will forgive me!"
Once Yuhua Ji came to his senses, he hurriedly bent at the waist and bowed to Li Zhōujūn, speaking in terror. He could barely even get his words out.
Void Immortal and True Immortal both bore the title of immortal.
But in truth, a Void Immortal was merely a cultivator on the path of seeking the Dao. In essence, he was still a mortal.
A True Immortal, however, was a genuine immortal who had crossed the Lightning Tribulation and attained the Mahayana Dao.
Even a hundred or ten thousand Void Immortals would not be enough for one fart from a True Immortal.
"Would one move from me be enough to offset that Sky Feather Pill?" Li Zhōujūn withdrew the effects of his True Immortal aura and asked with a smile.
"Of course! Of course!"
Yuhua Ji hurriedly agreed. What a joke—exchanging one Sky Feather Pill for a True Immortal to make one move on behalf of the Divine Feather Dynasty was practically stumbling into an enormous pile of dog luck. It was an incredible profit!
Not to mention one Sky Feather Pill—even ten Sky Feather Pills could not compare to a single move from a True Immortal!
After all, it was true that the Sky Feather Pill could bring a member of the Feather Clan back to life, but it came with all sorts of requirements, and the success rate of revival was only one percent.
