The Trembling, Terrified Zhu Tian

The moment he blurted it out, Zhu Tian felt his life hung by a thread, his fate uncertain.

Jiang Lianyi glanced coldly at Zhu Tian but did not make a move.

There was nothing she could do about it. She was worried that Zhu Tian was lying, so she used the power of the nascent Dao Fruit to secretly order Zhu Tian not to hide anything and to say whatever came to mind.

Zhu Tian, though it was too late to mend his ways, quickly said, "I meant I thought Qilin Immortal was already dead."

After saying that, Zhu Tian felt like slapping himself twice.

You used to think things through carefully before you spoke, so why are you acting like this today, without even thinking?

Jiang Lianyi: "..."

It seems that forcing people to tell the truth also has its drawbacks.

Well then, it seems Zhu Tian doesn't even know whether her husband is alive or dead, let alone know any clues about him.

After calming down, Zhu Tian felt sweat on his back and his hands and feet were ice cold.

Jiang Lianyi's question implies that Qilin Immortal is definitely still alive, and that she hasn't felt the suppression of the superior Dao Fruit only because her cultivation is inadequate.

The Qilin Immortal is still alive, and he even attacked Jiang Lianyi...

Zhu Tian dared not imagine the consequences of this matter; if he encountered the Qilin Immortal, he wouldn't have enough lives to spare!

Do you know the Immortal Sister?

"Who?" Zhu Tian looked confused; he had never heard of this name before.

"This immortal." The Immortal Fairy revealed herself openly, emerging from Lu Yang's body. In any case, Zhu Tian had been branded with the master-servant mark, so her identity would not be revealed.

When Zhu Tian saw the Immortal Fairy, he was immediately terrified, thinking he was hallucinating. He jumped up abruptly, unable to control his voice.

"An immortal!!"

He lived through the reign of the Four Immortals of High Antiquity, frequently listened to their lectures, and was extremely familiar with them.

Such unfathomable power is undoubtedly that of an immortal!

This young master Lu actually has an immortal hidden inside his body!

Considering the events of the High Antiquity Heavenly Court, could this immortal be Dou Tianzun, the ruler of the Heavenly Court, and the fifth immortal of High Antiquity?

No wonder Young Master Lu wasn't controlled by the Emperor Jiang Token. He had previously thought that Jiang Lianyi had intercepted him, but now it seems that it was this immortal who had intervened.

Zhu Tian suddenly realized that although he was High Antiquity demon, he knew too little about High Antiquity matters. Like a frog at the bottom of a well, all he knew was superficial.

"Alright, looks like another one who doesn't recognize me." The Immortal Fairy curled her lips, not surprised at all. Jiang Lianyi was the closest to her and was also one of the strongest among the half-immortals. If even she couldn't remember her, then someone like Zhu Tian would probably remember her even less.

Zhu Tian, with great foresight, brought out the fourth imperial chair for the Immortal Fairy to sit on.

The four of them sat in a circle and continued chatting, creating a strong atmosphere of rural life.

"Tell me, why did you decide to go into slumber, and why did you choose to be resurrected at this time?"

"This story begins with the earth-shattering battle fought by the Four Immortals of High Antiquity, but we've never known who their opponent was..."

As Zhu Tian spoke, the look in his eyes when he looked at the Immortal Fairy became strange, even more panicked than before.

The Lord of Heaven, the hidden fifth immortal, and an enemy of the Four Immortals High Antiquity—could this powerful being have been the opponent of the Four Immortals High Antiquity then?

The immortal fairy glared at her. "Don't look at me, continue."

"Oh, oh." Zhu Tian quickly calmed his frightened heart, feeling as if he had walked on the edge of life and death.

The Qilin Immortal could kill him with ease, and this Lord of Heaven, who could fight the Four Immortals of High Antiquity, was probably even stronger than the Qilin Immortal.

If it was this person who made the move at the Temple of Heaven just now...

Zhu Tian shivered.

Given that this Young Master Lu has a very good relationship with the Lord of Heaven, if one cannot please the Lord of Heaven, then pleasing Young Master Lu is a roundabout way to achieve one's goal.

Zhu Tian continued, "Fellow Daoist Jiang, you witnessed that battle, right? That's a realm we half-immortals can never reach. The gap is insurmountable, it's utterly despairing..."

Jiang Lianyi corrected, "I haven't given up hope."

"... It makes me despair."

"I was thinking at the time that nothing in this world is eternal, and the Four Immortals of High Antiquity could not rule the world forever. Since I could not shine in the era of the Four Immortals of High Antiquity, why don't I fall into slumber and wait until there are no more immortals in the world, or even half-immortals, before I awaken?"

"The more I thought about it, the better it seemed. I quickly gathered a bunch of rare and heavenly materials and earthly treasures for the slumber, buried them in the coffin, and laid it to rest."

"I left a message for my descendants, asking them to revive me in an era without immortals."

"This became a top secret known only to the successive clan leaders of the Dijiang clan, passed down from generation to generation."

"More than two hundred years ago, my descendants awakened me."

"When I woke up, I thought, 'Hey, this really is a great era; the demigods are invincible!'"

"Then I spent two hundred years recovering my strength and building the Demon Kingdom. Just this morning, the Demon Kingdom was completed, and you guys attacked."

Seeing that Zhu Tian really didn't know anything, Jiang Lianyi didn't waste any more time asking and prepared to leave.

"As I said before, the Phoenix Clan will become a member of the Demon Kingdom. With the unification of the Demon Realm, you must focus on governing the Demon Kingdom. I will keep an eye on you at all times."

In High Antiquity times, immortals ruled over tens of thousands of life-bearing stars, while half-immortals, though less powerful, could rule over a few hundred. The immortal fairy was an exception, ruling over only one.

Zhu Tian has experience in ruling.

After leaving the Demon City Palace, the Immortal Fairy returned to Lu Yang's body.

Where do we go next?

"Go to the Phoenix Clan."

The Qiongqi tribe.

The petite figure carefully examined the image-recording sphere that Chief Jin had spent a fortune to buy, her expression solemn.

The battle between the two semi-divine beings is worth studying repeatedly.

"It really is Jiang Lianyi, and she's at her peak."

The petite figure clicked her tongue. She had thought Jiang Lianyi had just woken up and was far from her peak condition. But now she saw that Jiang Lianyi's movements were wide and powerful, without any restraint. She had defeated Zhu Tian without even using her trump cards.

"Could it be that Ashu gave her something good?"

"Young Ancestor, what's our next step..." Clan Chief Jin asked cautiously from the side.

"First join the Demon Kingdom. It won't show up on the image sphere. Based on Jiang Lianyi's personality, she will definitely leave a master-servant mark on Zhu Tian. This Demon Kingdom is nominally Zhu Tian's, but in reality, it belongs to Jiang Lianyi."

"With Jiang Lianyi around, the unification of the Demon Kingdom is a foregone conclusion. It wouldn't be right for our Qiongqi Clan not to join. We might as well take the initiative to join the Demon Kingdom now and gain some control."

The petite figure had been constantly fighting with Jiang Lianyi in High Antiquity times. She knew Jiang Lianyi's personality better than anyone. Taking advantage of the smoke to cover up the imprint of the master-servant mark, she could fool others, but she couldn't fool her.

"I've never heard Ashu mention this Heavenly Court before."

Seeing that there was nothing left to see in the battle between the immortals, the petite figure casually tossed the image-recording ball behind her to Chief Jin.

"You can keep this recording device or destroy it, just don't let outsiders see it."

Chief Jin asked, puzzled, "Is it because the battle of the demigods is of great importance and cannot be lightly revealed?"

"It's because the Baxia tribe raised prices arbitrarily, and your embarrassing act of buying the photo pod was recorded."

"Oh."

The second update will be at 11 PM.
