The Nether Emperor Appears!!!

The two quickly began to work together.

For them nowadays, carving out a cave abode is naturally not a difficult task.

Lu Qing'an chose a spot on a mountain wall not far from Luo Qiushan's cave abode.

Raise your hand.

The spiritual energy was pushed forward from the palm.

The incredibly hard black rock did not blast open.

Instead, it felt as if it were being slowly pushed apart by a pair of invisible hands.

Gravel fell.

He casually swept it away again.

In a short while, an opening was formed.

Li Wensong wasn't idle either.

The two of them each drove one side.

Not long after.

The two simple cave abode thus took shape.

They weren't particular about anything.

Lu Qing'an simply opened up a few stone chambers and set up a small array outside.

After doing all that, he clapped his hands.

I was just about to go in.

But then he suddenly stopped.

Li Wensong had already stepped halfway into the cave entrance.

Noticing that Lu Qing'an hadn't followed, she subconsciously turned around.

"Brother Lu?"

Lu Qing'an did not answer.

He stood still.

Slowly turn around.

Look back at the sky.

far away.

The black sky and the mountain peaks almost blended together.

At first there was nothing.

But after observing for a few moments, Lu Qing'an's eyes gradually narrowed.

There are people there.

I don't know when it appeared.

I don't know how long I've been standing there.

A man in a black robe hovered silently in the air.

Black hair.

He wasn't particularly tall or muscular.

His appearance was not exactly handsome.

But that person, standing there, inexplicably drew everyone's attention.

It's not because of his appearance.

Rather, it's a quality that's hard to describe.

He doesn't have a strong presence.

It could even be described as very weak.

He was so weak that if Lu Qing'an hadn't been looking at him at that moment, it would have been easy to subconsciously overlook him.

But once you really notice it, you'll feel as if the entire world is sinking around that figure.

The strangest thing was his eyes.

No whites in the eyes.

There is no clear-cut distinction between right and wrong like in ordinary people.

Both eyes were completely black.

Pure black.

Like two bottomless wells.

The man in the black robe was initially sizing up Lu Qing'an.

The moment Lu Qing'an turned around.

His eyebrows twitched slightly.

"You've spotted me?"

The sound did not travel.

It was just a slight stirring in my heart.

For the first time, his gaze truly fell upon Lu Qing'an.

The Eternal Realm.

I'm sure I didn't misread it.

How could someone at the Eternal Realm possibly sense his presence?

On the other side.

Li Wensong followed Lu Qing'an's gaze.

At first, he didn't notice anything.

When they finally saw the black figure, they froze.

His expression changed as well.

His Adam's apple bobbed.

The next instant, the voice exploded in Lu Qing'an's mind.

"Brother Lu!"

"Don't do anything reckless!"

Lu Qing'an's eyes did not move.

Li Wensong's voice transmission clearly indicated nervousness.

"This person is the Nether Emperor!"

Lu Qing'an's heart skipped a beat.

"The Nether Emperor?"

Li Wensong quickly replied, "The true master of the Nether Emperor Holy Sect!"

"Luo Qiushan is only the current sect leader."

"The person before us is the one who brought the entire Nether Emperor Holy Sect to its current state."

Lu Qing'an took another look at the man in black robes in the sky.

No wonder.

"How strong are you?"

Li Wensong paused for a moment.

He seemed to be thinking about how to describe it.

Finally, he only said one sentence.

"It's terrifying."

Lu Qing'an remained silent.

Li Wensong continued, "Looking at the entire Hongmeng Holy Domain, this person is among the very top-tier existences."

"Especially the Great Dao of Darkness."

No one dares to say they are stronger than him.

"His defense is notoriously outrageous."

"Even if those truly at the pinnacle of the Hongmeng Holy Domain were to fight him, it would be very difficult for them to actually injure him."

Even if he can't win, if he wants to leave, basically no one can stop him."

Lu Qing'an listened.

I wasn't too scared.

I just have some doubts.

How long have he and Li Wensong been here?

Two Eternal Realm.

Even if one's cultivation of the rules is special, surely it wouldn't cause such a stir among people of this level so soon after entering the Nether Emperor Holy Sect?

Could it be...?

Lu Qing'an thought of the sect's fortune that Luo Qiushan had mentioned earlier.

But he didn't think much of it.

Now that the other party has appeared.

Pretending not to see it is pointless.

Lu Qing'an straightened his sleeves, then cupped his hands towards the sky.

"Greetings, senior."

The Nether Emperor glanced at him.

The next moment.

The person has disappeared.

Lu Qing'an's eyes narrowed.

He didn't even sense any spatial fluctuations.

When you see it clearly again...

The Nether Emperor was already standing in front of the two.

It's not far.

The black robe hung down.

There is no wind.

The hem of her clothes swayed slightly.

Li Wensong's body visibly tensed up.

Lu Qing'an remained relatively calm.

The Nether Emperor looked at Li Wensong first.

Then look at Lu Qing'an.

Who are you?

His voice sounded like that of a middle-aged man.

Yet, within each word, it seems, lies the weight of countless years.

That wasn't a deliberately feigned sense of weariness.

Rather, it's because they've lived too long.

So long that time seemed to settle into his voice.

The Nether Emperor glanced at the cave abode behind the two.

Only the Eternal Realm.

"Why was it possible to establish cave abode here?"

He did not exert any pressure.

There was no deliberate attempt to put on airs of seniority.

I just asked a simple question.

But Li Wensong still felt a strange pressure.

Lu Qing'an, however, remained completely at ease.

"Senior."

"We just joined the Nether Emperor Holy Sect today."

"It was Sect Master Luo who agreed to let us stay here."

The Nether Emperor's eyes flickered slightly.

"Xiaoshan?"

Lu Qing'an almost didn't react when he heard this address.

Xiaoshan.

Luo Qiushan.

He suddenly realized that this form of address wasn't so bad after all.

The Nether Emperor is the other party's master.

Even though Luo Qiushan is now the head of a sect, in his eyes, she is probably still the same disciple he knew back then.

The Nether Emperor did not ask any further questions.

He simply looked at the two of them.

I already had some guesses in my mind.

Luo Qiushan is not a reckless person.

Especially the Holy Land Peak Vein.

In a place like this, it's impossible to just randomly squeeze two people in.

and...

The Nether Emperor's emergence from seclusion today was not a spur-of-the-moment decision.

Just recently.

He is currently in seclusion.

The sect's fortunes suddenly changed.

It's not growing slowly.

Instead, it suddenly shot upwards in a very short time.

This kind of thing rarely happens.

The fate of a sect is far-reaching.

disciple.

Elder.

Number of strong individuals.

Foundation of the sect.

It will even affect the future trajectory of the entire sect.

However, neither of them will suddenly surge without any warning.

unless.

A very special person arrived.

Or perhaps, something momentous has occurred that could change the future of the entire sect.

The Nether Emperor then ended his seclusion.

We followed the changes in fortune to find our way here.

Finally, they saw Lu Qing'an and Li Wensong.

He originally just wanted to take a look.

Unexpectedly, he was discovered by Lu Qing'an shortly after arriving.

Looking at it now.

That's quite interesting.

The Nether Emperor stood with his hands behind his back.

No Secret Method were used.

He merely scanned the two of them little by little with his own senses.

Li Wensong felt uneasy under the gaze of those completely black eyes.

Lu Qing'an didn't react much.

A moment later.

The Nether Emperor's expression suddenly changed.

Very subtle.

But things have changed.

He sensed a very special aura of discipline emanating from Li Wensong.

Immediately afterwards.

The same aura emanated from Lu Qing'an.

The Nether Emperor remained silent for a moment.

"The Rule of Cause and Effect?"

Lu Qing'an nodded.

"Senior's intuition was correct."

The Nether Emperor looked at him.

Lu Qing'an continued, "Both of us have cultivated the Rule of Cause and Effect to their ultimate level."

The air suddenly became quiet.
