Under the stern gaze of the Qingshan Patriarch, Yin Xiong finally stammered out the whole story.
"This is outrageous, simply outrageous!"
Upon hearing Yin Xiong's account, the Qingshan Patriarch's rage boiled over. With a sweep of his palm, a nearby building was instantly razed to the ground.
"Xue'er."
"Yes, master."
"Notify Zhu Yun and the other elders to gather at the Qingshan Hall immediately."
"Understood!"
Luo Lanxue dared not delay. Her graceful figure flickered and in an instant she was gone.
"Return to the town below the mountain at once, find out who exactly dared commit such audacity." The Qingshan Patriarch instructed Yin Xiong.
"Yes, Qingshan master."
Yin Xiong didn't even pause for a sip of water before rushing back down the mountain with two subordinates.
At the Qingshan Hall.
The Qingshan Patriarch sat grim-faced at the head of the hall.
At the lower seats, Zhu Yun, Luo Lanxue and the other elders all had their heads lowered with solemn expressions.
An aura of overwhelming pressure filled the hall, leaving the weaker cultivators gasping for breath.
"Master, this matter is no small thing." Luo Lanxue stepped forward and urgently analyzed, "From uncle's account, the master is already extremely angry over this incident."
"Sister speaks correctly." The youthful Yin Luo Li also stepped forward, face full of fury. "The master has shown our Qingshan Sect great benevolence, yet his disciple was nearly killed on our sect's territory. We must provide an explanation to satisfy the master over this matter."
"Precisely. The master himself did not act, but notified the Baofeng Commerce to make his intentions clear - he expects us to provide an account." Sect leader Zhu Yun added gravely, "Therefore we must treat this matter with utmost prudence and ensure the master's satisfaction. Otherwise, if the master is forced to act personally..." He shook his head, not daring to continue that train of thought.
"So Grand Master, you must decide how to proceed." Luo Lanxue looked to the Qingshan Patriarch at the head in solemn urgency.
"Hmph!"
The Qingshan Patriarch's expression was stormy as he slammed his palm down, instantly pulverizing the stone table beside him.
"No matter who dared attack young master Qing, none shall escape."
His voice boomed like a bell throughout the hall.
"Transmit my command."
"Yes!"
"Activate the Sect-Protecting Grand Formation, notify the Twelve Elders and Eighteen Guardians. Dispatch the Thirty-Six Heavenly Stars and Seventy-Two Earthly Fiends, along with all one hundred and eight branch disciples without exception. Zhu Yun will lead them out of the mountain!"
"I will make those who angered the master regret coming into this world."
Shock rippled through the hall at the Qingshan Patriarch's words.
Even in times of major sect wars, such a battle formation was unprecedented.
But it was only expected - if the Patriarch could not quell that person's anger, the Qingshan Sect would likely cease to exist.
"Understood!"
Deafening shouts echoed within the Qingshan Hall. Streaks of light shot out as cultivators streamed into the sky, trailing waves of energy.
The one hundred and eight branch disciples of Qingshan mobilized, marching directly towards Pingjiang City, their thundering footsteps shaking the earth.
At the same time, the Thirty-Six Heavenly Stars and Seventy-Two Earthly Fiends took to the skies mounted on flying demonic beasts, casting massive shadows over the land as they howled towards Pingjiang City.
Led by Zhu Yun, the Twelve Elders and Eighteen Guardians stepped on air, emanating tremendous pressure as they streaked forth with astonishing speed like meteors falling to earth!
In Pingjiang City, the Baofeng Commerce ground to a halt as all shops shut their doors. Countless spies were dispatched.
Within half an hour, a carrier pigeon delivered a letter from the Baofeng Commerce to the Qingshan Patriarch's hand.
As he read the note, killing intent erupted from his eyes.
"Pingjiang Commerce."
"Die!"
At his command, the massive Qingshan forces mobilized towards the Pingjiang Commerce's base.
In that moment, the skies over Pingjiang City suddenly changed.
to panic—he has a system. As long as an investment target dies, he can claim a reward. And since he is immortal, the one thing he has plenty of is time. ... Countless years later. “Immortal Emperor of Longevity? I invested in him.” “Supreme Celestial Venerable? I invested in him.” “Undying Empress? I invested in her.” “...” “Heh. Once they’ve all died, even the Heavenly Dao will have to kneel and call me Dad.”

nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
