Chapter 1221: The Former Hall Master of The Cottage!

Chapter 1221: Chapter 1221: The Former Hall Master of The Cottage!

In the midst of Immortal Encounter Sky Penetrating Mountain.

After Lu Changsheng had set up the formation around him, he then took out the two milky-white stones.

One in each hand, just as he was about to bring the stones together, Lu Changsheng suddenly stopped… After thinking for a moment, he formed a hand seal, and a clone appeared beside Lu Changsheng. He then handed the two stones to the clone, while his original body stood watching from a distance.

Well… after all, it was something unknown to him, so it was better to be safe than sorry.

When the two milky-white stones were brought together, a burst of white light suddenly emerged!

The surroundings were quickly enveloped by the white light, casting both Lu Changsheng’s original body and clone within it.

Lu Changsheng looked around, and everything had turned pure white.

The apparition of an unkempt old man with a scraggly beard appeared before Lu Changsheng’s eyes.

But when Lu Changsheng saw the old man, he opened his eyes wide with disbelief.

“Old Deng, how come you’re here?”

If Qin Tiannan were here, he probably could have recognized him as well.

The elder was none other than the former hall master of The Cottage!

The old man looked at Lu Changsheng and smiled, saying, “You lad, you’re still as cautious as ever.”

The old man naturally saw that Lu Changsheng used a clone to piece the stones together.

“Let’s not talk about other things first, why are you here? You left without saying goodbye all those years ago, what exactly did you go off to do?”

Upon hearing this, the old man smiled and said, “Enough, my time is not plentiful; leave those questions for your own pursuit.”

“You must be wondering right now whether I’m the one who has been manipulating everything from behind, aren’t you?”

Lu Changsheng nodded, then waved his hand and said, “Since you’ve already said that, then it definitely isn’t you, right?”

The old man nodded and stated, “That’s right, it’s indeed not me. What I want to tell you is, do not be overly concerned with this matter. The one pulling all the strings does not harbor any ill will towards you; they are on your side.”

Lu Changsheng frowned and asked, “Old Deng, with that said, do you know who that person is?”

“I know, but I cannot let you know.”

“So you’ve gone to all this trouble to bring me here just to tell me this?”

The old man laughed and shook his head, “That’s part of it. After all, you’re quite the overthinker, lad. However, since you’ve come here, I presume that the time is nigh for the Nefarious Demon Region to break its suppression.”

“With your strength, dealing with the Nefarious Demon Region shouldn’t pose too much of a problem.”

“But… what I want to tell you is.”

At this point, the once nonchalant expression of the old man became slightly more solemn as he said, “When the Nefarious Demon Region attacks The Mortal Realm, you should try your best to hide your strength and not reveal too much.”

Huh?

Lu Changsheng was taken aback, “Why is that?”

“The Nefarious Demon Region is merely a pawn; the real enemy is not them. Although that faction’s power is not too great a pressure for your strength,” the old man continued.

“However, if you reveal a threat level too early, when they plan to make a move against The Mortal Realm, it wouldn’t be a good thing for either The Mortal Realm or your disciples, and surely you wouldn’t want your disciples to die abruptly, would you?”

It was simple, although Lu Changsheng was powerful.

He ultimately couldn’t protect his disciples personally at all times.

Without his direct protection, the moment the enemy concealed in the shadows struck at his disciples, it would be impossible to guard against.

Lu Changsheng’s expression grew somber as he said, “Are you suggesting that I should just allow the Nefarious Demon Region to advance unimpeded?”

“Not entirely,” the old man smiled and responded, “It’s alright to take action if it’s absolutely necessary. Just don’t overdo it when you do act. For instance, don’t use the Nine Netherworld Formation.”

“Besides, doing so is also more beneficial for the growth of your disciples, isn’t it?”

He even knew about the Nine Netherworld Formation…

Lu Changsheng glared at the old man with obvious hostility and said, “Seriously, where are you now? Why does it feel like you’re always watching me? It’s really annoying, makes me want to slap you a few times.”

“What, ready to betray your own master now?”

“I don’t see a problem with that.”

“Alright, alright,” the elder said, pressing down his hand, “I won’t waste time joking with you anymore. I’ve got a bunch of things to do myself. Just take it easy. Try not to cause too much commotion before the disciples grow up. Otherwise, you’ll regret it later. Don’t let yourself get to that point, got it?”

After speaking, the old man didn’t give Lu Changsheng a chance to reply; his phantom turned into specks of starlight and vanished.

And with a “crack,” the milky-white stone also developed a fracture.

As the white light disappeared, Lu Changsheng’s figure reappeared within the Immortal Encounter Sky Penetrating Mountain.

He sat and thought for a long while.

From this information,

he concluded that the Nefarious Demon Region was just a pawn and there were stronger forces behind it.

So he needed to make a move but couldn’t go all out.

From the tone of that old man, it seemed like the disciples’ future situation would be very dangerous.

Meaning he had to push that bunch of little rascals more to improve their strength as soon as possible.

After thinking for a long time, Lu Changsheng looked up and sighed.

“This old man, couldn’t he at least leave an address or something.”

“Haven’t seen him for over a decade, I actually kind of miss him…”

After all, he was the only family Lu Changsheng had in this world, although they weren’t related by blood…

…

At the Immortal Emperor Palace.

The Immortal Emperor, seeing Lu Changsheng suddenly appear, was momentarily stunned and said with a mournful tone, “Brother, are you really going to disrespect me like this…”

Lu Changsheng replied irritably, “What’s the worth of face? Look, I came here to discuss something with you. How about you send some people to The Mortal Realm first?”

The Immortal Emperor nodded, “The army is already ready at the Immortal Realm Channel.”

“At the same time, the three masters have also decided to lend a hand for The Mortal Realm.”

Three masters?

Oh, those three old men.

“However, I need your help with something over here.”

The Immortal Emperor pointed at the sand table on the table in front and said with a smile, “As an exchange, how about you help me deal with these forces?”

These?

Lu Changsheng looked at the sand table and saw various forces gathered at one location.

Around them, several other forces were positioned in a surrounding four-corner formation.

“So many?” Lu Changsheng’s brows twitched continuously.

The Immortal Emperor scratched his head with a troubled smile and said, “Can’t help it. Most of the Immortal Emperor Palace’s people have been deployed to the Immortal Realm Channel, so it’s difficult to quickly eradicate these remnants of the Nefarious Demon Region with insufficient manpower.”

“But even so, with your strength, dealing with these petty troublemakers shouldn’t be an issue, right?”

Lu Changsheng rolled his eyes and said, “How should I know?”

The Immortal Emperor hesitated before saying, “Not as strong as me.”

Oh?

Only then did Lu Changsheng smile and say, “In that case, no problem. Leave it to me.”
