Starting With 100 Million Lives

Chapter 798 798 Scared Away

The Jiu Jue Immortal Emperor and the Dark Phecda Demon Emperor, along with a group of powerful beings, lined the path to welcome them.The Great Derivation Immortal Emperor and the Cang Luo Demon Emperor, along with the Returning Immortals, strode proudly into the scene, stepping on the void.

Then, they finally saw Brother Cheng.

The two of them were first taken aback.

Then, they turned their heads simultaneously to look at each other.

It seemed a bit unbelievable and needed confirmation from the other party.

After seeing the shock in each other's eyes, they simultaneously exclaimed.

"Jiang Cheng!"

"You're Jiang Cheng!"

The other Immortal Emperors, Demon Emperors, and Demon Lords on the side were speechless.

Isn't that obvious?

Could it be that you two only now know his name is Jiang Cheng?

Recently, the Cang Luo Demon Emperor had heard of the name Jiang Cheng, but he never connected it with the Jiang Cheng from the Profound Realm.

He always thought the Jiang Cheng from the Profound Realm was one from the Xuan Race.

The Great Derivation Immortal Emperor had been in seclusion recently and hadn't heard of it at all.

So when they suddenly saw this person was their 'acquaintance' from before, they were so surprised that they could hardly speak.

Isn't he from the Profound Realm? How did he get here?

"You, you are from this side too? Turns out you are a Returning Immortal?"

The Cang Luo Demon Emperor was so astonished that he stuttered while speaking.

The Great Derivation Immortal Emperor looked even more questioning life.

After their return these years, they had kept the experiences in the Profound Realm very secretive.

After all, being chased embarrassingly by Emperor Venerable Zhong Cuo, constantly hiding for years, wasn't something to brag about.

Out of all their experiences over that billion years in the Profound Realm, what left the deepest impression on them was Jiang Cheng—who had slain Zhong Cuo, destroyed the Shadow Race, and even forced the Source of the Profound Realm to confess his mistake among the Four Sages of the Races.

To this day, when they remember that person, both are overcome with boundless admiration.

Without him, they, the so-called 'Otherworldly Evil Demons,' would still not be able to return.

Over the years, their status in the Immortal and Demon Realms had been extraordinarily high, even regarded as among the most supreme beings.

However, they internally understood that in front of that person, they were utterly insignificant.

"You two have been doing quite well!"

Brother Cheng grinned as he recognized these two old acquaintances.

When in the Profound Realm, he couldn't be bothered with them, and now they've returned here only to defy him again?

Looks like Brother's 'achievement book' will have a few more names added.

"One Immortal Alliance, one Holy Hall, really quite capable!"

Feeling his undisguised killing intent, the Cang Luo Demon Emperor was aghast.

He hastily stepped back while waving to deny it.

"You've misunderstood, I'm not part of the Holy Hall, actually I am opposed to them, and I even killed the Unreturning Demon Emperor!"

The Great Derivation Immortal Emperor was nearly scared out of his wits, and quickly argued: "Joining the Immortal Alliance was a momentary lapse, but I haven't targeted the Demon Realm or Spirit Realm over these years, I've been in constant seclusion..."

"The deeds of the Jiu Jue Immortal Emperor and his wicked lot have nothing to do with me!"

This statement caused an uproar among the crowd.

What is happening here?

It was expected that after the Returning Immortals appeared, they would confront Jiang Cheng.

Either scare away this First Demon of the Six Realms or engage in a grand battle shaking the heavens and earth.

But what is this now?

Without saying much, they surrendered?

And even distanced themselves from the Immortal and Demon Realms?

Was this necessary?

The Nine Flames Immortal Emperor was both shocked and enraged: "Great Derivation, what do you mean by this, weren't you the one who wanted to be a Great Sage back then?"

"Shut up!"

"Don't slander me!"

The Great Derivation Immortal Emperor hurriedly interrupted him.

Against any other enemy it would be fine, but facing Jiang Cheng, he couldn't muster even the slightest will to fight.

It was plain that the Immortal Alliance was Jiang Cheng's enemy. Standing with them now would result in what outcome?

The Great Derivation Immortal Emperor knew all too well.

He wanted no association with the Immortal Alliance anymore.

The Dark Phecda Demon Emperor was equally stunned and furious.

"Cang Luo, are you going to disregard the greater good of the Immortal and Demon Realms? This man goes against all that is righteous…"

"What greater good, what's it got to do with me, don't drag me into it!"

The Cang Luo Demon Emperor had long tossed aside any notions of dominance over the Immortal and Demon Realms.

With this person here, the decline of the Immortal and Demon Realms was already preordained.

They just hoped to survive, nothing else mattered now.

"If you wish to oppose Senior Jiang Cheng, that's your business!"

"It has nothing to do with us!"

The Great Derivation Immortal Emperor even actively offered aid to please Brother Cheng.

"Senior, do you require our assistance?"

The Cang Luo Demon Emperor was not to be outdone, quickly providing vocal support: "Just give us the word, we will switch sides and help you root out those heretics and outsiders!"

The experts of the Immortal and Demon Realms were so infuriated they nearly vomited blood.

The experts from the Spirit Realm and Demon Realm were utterly bewildered.

Especially the Cyan Dragon, Ice Phoenix, and other Great Emperors were dumbfounded.

What exactly was happening?

Why had it turned out like this?

Truth be told, before the Immortal Alliance declared war, their greatest concern was the Returning Immortals joining the battlefield on the other side.

Upon hearing the Great Derivation Immortal Emperor was in seclusion, the Celestial Division demon emperors secretly sighed in relief.

Luckily, they didn't come, relieving much pressure.

If they had appeared, the Demon Lord would have been in real danger.

Now, not only had the Returning Immortals of the Immortal Realm shown up, but even those from the Demon Realm had arrived.

Yet these people, just as they made a grand entrance, immediately surrendered, engaging in a series of treacherous moves, eager to submit wholeheartedly!

Could this be the legendary 'King's Dominating Aura'?

How did he achieve it?

Brother Cheng was still a bit depressed; ever since returning, many had touted how formidable the Returning Immortals were in his ear.

He thought of taking out a few Returning Immortals to show everyone he was far superior to them.

Yet so far, whether it's Cangxu, or Derivation, Cang Luo, none of the Returning Immortals he encountered wanted to fight him.

They all surrendered right from the start.

This left his desire to show off somewhat unfulfilled.

"You really won't fight me?"

"You haven't even crossed swords with me, what are you afraid of?"

Seeing his eagerness, the leaders of the Returning Immortals, Derivation and Cang Luo, almost cried.

Do you think we're stupid?

Though we haven't fought you, in the Profound Realm we were already scared out of our wits by you several times, all right?

"We've admired you for a long time!"

"Yes, yes, how could we possibly strike against you?"

"Just say the word…"

"Alright, alright!"

Brother Cheng could only helplessly sheath his sword.

He had no choice; these two held no grudge against him, and with their complete submission, he couldn't make a move, so he let them go.

He didn't need their help anyhow, otherwise, his achievements and prestige would be partly shared with them, wouldn't they?

"Just make sure I don't see either of you again!"

At these words, the Great Derivation Immortal Emperor and the Cang Luo Demon Emperor felt as though they had been given a reprieve.

"Thank you, Senior, for your magnanimity!"

Then the two of them swiftly turned around, fleeing the scene at the fastest speed they could manage in their lives, taking the group of Returning Immortals along.

The Great Derivation Immortal Emperor had no intention of returning to the Immortal Alliance's base at all.

Brother Cheng's warning about not stealing his limelight was understood by them as: 'show up again, and you're done for.'

Frightened, they both decided to hide away in the deep mountains and secluded forests, keeping a low profile, avoiding worldly matters, and at least keeping their heads down for a few billion years to lay low.
