Another Hidden Enemy

Jiang Lianyi recalled the battle just now, feeling only fear and trepidation, and how extremely dangerous it had been.

"As expected of our sect leader, he is indeed powerful."

"Just now, I fought with Sect Leader Yun in another dimension. We exchanged hundreds of blows in just a few breaths, and the fight was so intense that it was impossible to explain in a short time!"

"Master Yun's moves are fierce and powerful, showcasing the brilliance of later generations. People say that the present is inferior to the past, but in my opinion, they are completely wrong. Master Yun, as the pinnacle of later generations, has proven everything!"

"Our battle raged on, shattering space, shaking time, and spreading chaotic energy."

"I originally intended to use the Nirvana Rebirth technique to unleash my potential and have a final showdown with Sect Leader Yun, but unfortunately the gate to another dimension opened, and I accidentally fell in. The battle was a draw!"

Lu Yang: "..."

Third Senior Sister: "..."

Lu Yang felt that given Senior Lianyi's mindset, even if she lost, her Dao heart wouldn't collapse.

The Immortal Fairy was very satisfied with Jiang Lianyi's performance. "As expected of my unofficial Registered Disciple, you were able to maintain your winning percentage in a critical moment. You are a promising young woman with a bright future!"

"If I can fight Yun girl to a draw, with your help and the Second Master's assistance, the scales of victory will surely tip in my favor!"

It's important to understand that when two teams are evenly matched, even the slightest change can alter the outcome of a battle!

The eldest sister flew out from the alternate dimension and, upon hearing Jiang Lianyi's description of the battle, felt somewhat helpless.

Didn't you say you wanted to show me some High Antiquity Divine Ability, then you made the first move, unleashing hundreds of attacks in a few breaths, and after I blocked them, you attacked, only to immediately feign death and escape into another dimension?

"Senior Sister," Lu Yang greeted politely.

"Nascent Soul Realm? Not bad, solid foundation. He just broke through, yet he doesn't need to solidify his foundation. No wonder he had the Invincible Pill as a stepping stone." Senior Sister nodded. Lu Yang's cultivation progress was rapid, showing that he hadn't neglected his cultivation during the past six months in the Demon Realm.

"Third Junior Sister, the Sixth Elder has been talking about you a lot lately. Now that you've returned to the sect, you should go and see her. Don't let the elder come to see you and cause a disturbance of etiquette."

"Okay." Facing her senior sister, the third senior sister no longer acted like she did in the Demon Realm. She was obedient and did whatever her senior sister asked her to do.

After the third senior sister came down the mountain, the eldest senior sister gestured for Lu Yang to sit down, and Jiang Lianyi didn't have to sit on the ground; she could sit on a stone chair.

"Senior Sister, this is a specialty I brought back from the Demon Realm."

As if presenting a treasure, Lu Yang took out four imperial chairs from his identity jade token. These were given to him by Senior Zhu Tian after much persuasion before he left the Demon Kingdom.

The atmosphere instantly changed when the stone chair was replaced with an imperial throne.

"Junior brother, Immortal senior, what did you do in the Demon Realm? And how did Senior Ripples revive?"

The eldest sister's calm tone carried a hint of helplessness. To be honest, she was genuinely stunned when her third sister appeared before her with Jiang Lianyi.

It's obvious that this matter is inextricably linked to Junior Brother and Immortal Senior.

The immortal fairy emerged and sat down in a half-squatting posture.

The story, told in detail by a human, a demon, and a ghost, recounts their experiences in the demon realm, with a particular focus on their discoveries about the world's structure, the photograph left behind by the Qilin Immortal, and the battle between the four immortals and the mastermind behind it all.

Upon hearing this, the eldest sister remained silent for a long time; this was truly an unexpected gain.

"Battles between immortals cannot be decided in a short time, especially since the mastermind behind the scenes is suspected of possessing the Dao Fruit of Cause and Effect, making him even more difficult to deal with. However, the fact that he could fight the Four High Antiquity Immortals for seven days without a clear winner suggests that the mastermind's strength is even greater than I anticipated."

The Immortal Fairy nodded. "That's what I think too."

Then she said indignantly, "I wonder what that Qilin Immortal is plotting, or if he's asleep. Lianyi caused such a commotion in the Demon Kingdom, and he hasn't come out at all."

This is also one of the reasons why Jiang Lianyi took the initiative to appear at the founding ceremony of the Demon Kingdom.

The fact that she could stand on the Altar of Heaven indicates that the Immortal Fairy has been resurrected. This is the information she conveyed to the Qilin Fairy. Even so, the Qilin Fairy still has not shown up, which shows that the Qilin Fairy's current situation is very complicated.

He either fell into a deep sleep for some reason, or he was unable or unwilling to see the Immortal Fairy.

Qilin Immortal spoke with great bravado in the memory sphere, saying that the opponent was too dangerous and that everything should be left to him. He added that his wife would definitely meet the Immortal Fairy and that he was happy for her resurrection.

Perhaps Qilin Immortal was assassinated by the mastermind behind the scenes after making those harsh words.

The eldest sister gently shook her head and calmly said, "Actually, there's another possibility, isn't there? It's just that neither of you wants to think about it."

Lu Yang looked at his senior sister with a puzzled expression.

In contrast, the Immortal Fairy and Jiang Lianyi looked rather unwell.

The eldest sister continued, "With the fall of the Qilin Immortal, the suppression disappeared, and a half-immortal seized the opportunity to become an immortal, thus re-establishing the suppression."

Lu Yang's heart skipped a beat. This was indeed possible. He then wondered, "But wasn't it said that the tribulation to become an immortal was so powerful that it couldn't be concealed? Could it be that no one noticed a half-immortal becoming an immortal?"

"It's true that the Ascension Tribulation is a huge event, but it's not impossible to conceal. For example, one can use the momentum of a battle between two armies, or the fluctuations during a battle between half-immortals, to cover up the Ascension Tribulation. Someone used this method to become an immortal 100,000 years ago."

"However, the possibility of the Qilin Immortal perishing is very small. After all, the characteristics of the Qilin Immortal's Dao Fruit make him extremely difficult to kill. If a battle of this level were to occur, it should be recorded in ancient books. The commotion of such a battle cannot be concealed."

Hearing what the senior sister said, the Immortal Fairy and Jiang Lianyi's expressions softened slightly.

The eldest sister continued, "After listening to Senior Lianyi's description of the battle between the four High Antiquity immortals, another question arises: Do you still remember the immortal who was preparing to seize the nascent form of the Immortal Dao Fruit?"

Lu Yang and the Immortal Fairy nodded. Of course they remembered that after the Immortal Immortal was born, a dark shadow was hiding next to him, preparing to seize the nascent Immortal Dao Fruit. It was then discovered by the eldest senior sister, who obliterated the shadow and then discovered that the shadow was something similar to an immortal clone.

The eldest sister felt a sense of familiarity with the touch, recalling that she had fought the true form of the shadow before. The shadow had entered the Great Xia Dynasty and had been defeated by Yun Zhi.

"The opponent is undoubtedly an immortal, but he is definitely not at the level to fight the Four Immortals of High Antiquity for seven days and seven nights."

"Is he hiding his true strength?" Lu Yang guessed.

The senior sister shook her head. "I can sense whether he's hiding something or not; that's his true level."

"Could it be that he hasn't fully recovered from a serious injury?"

"That's impossible. No injury would take 300,000 years to heal. When I fought him, I didn't feel any injury on his end."

Lu Yang frowned. This meant that besides the mastermind behind the scenes, there was another hidden enemy.

Even if they aren't as powerful as the mastermind behind it all, they're still at the level of immortals, not to be underestimated. This is troublesome.

Wait a minute, why do I subconsciously think of him as my enemy? I'm only at the Nascent Soul Realm, am I worthy to be his enemy?

Lu Yang realized something was wrong; when had his standards become so high?

I never imagined I would become the number one in the fourth Beidou constellation. When I saw the notification today, I thought I was seeing things. It took me several seconds to confirm that it was true. When I first started reading, I never thought I would receive such an honor.

Winning first place wouldn't have been possible without the support of all my fellow Daoists. I will definitely continue to work hard and repay everyone with my work!
