Life is tough, and even an immortal master sighs.
Lu Hongshen wasn’t originally from the Xuantian Realm. By a stroke of fate, he was whisked away by a bronze artifact.
There, he grew from a clueless mortal into an immortal master.
Only he knew how much hardship he had endured along the way.
After becoming an immortal master, he thought he would never have to bow to anyone again, nor would he ever suffer humiliation!
Yet! Now, that feeling seemed to have returned.
Under the moonlight,
he was surrounded by a crowd of curious onlookers.
“I always thought this guy was a bit off, and now I’ve been proven right.”
“Exactly, Master Qin said it himself—everyone has a share in the ancient ruins. Just line up, show your ID, and claim your opportunity.”
“Yeah, what era are we living in? There’s no need to fight over this stuff anymore.”
“Right, after I get my opportunity, I’m heading home to catch up on the latest anime.”
Lu Hongshen covered his face, his ears filled with mocking and disdainful voices.
His pupils trembled in shock.
What were these people saying?
Even though he knew this was an era of martial artists,
wasn’t it the same as the Xuantian Realm?
The strong prey on the weak, and only the powerful could seize opportunities, while the weak were left with scraps—or nothing at all.
But... what were these people talking about?
Lining up to claim opportunities?
Huh?
As he pondered this,
tap, tap, tap.
The sound of footsteps slowly approached.
The crowd gradually quieted down.
Then, a sarcastic voice reached Lu Hongshen’s ears: “Hey, you don’t look like a local martial artist from Jiang City.”
“Where did you sneak in from?”
Hearing the commotion, Lu Hongshen looked up and saw, for the first time, the person everyone had been talking about these past few days—Master Qin.
The man’s gaze seemed even more arrogant than his own, and he was dressed in a black trench coat.
What a coincidence!
Qin Luo looked down at Lu Hongshen, who was covering his face and questioning his life choices, with a cheerful expression.
He had expected that, given the nature of these so-called “chosen ones,” they would inevitably try to steal the spotlight.
So, it was no surprise that they would meddle in the ancient ruins.
But...
What Qin Luo didn’t expect was that this guy would make such a grand entrance!
Well, at least it saved him the trouble of looking for him.
Seeing that the other party remained silent, Qin Luo smirked cruelly: “Kid! Not talking, huh?”
“Do you see who’s standing next to me?”
“The ruler of Jiang City, Miss Su Muwan! If you know what’s good for you, cripple your limbs, kowtow, and apologize to everyone waiting in line!”
“Otherwise!”
“You’ll never rise to prominence in Jiang City!”
Wait, wait, wait! Here we go again!
As he listened,
Su Muwan, who was standing nearby, quickly pulled Qin Luo back and gave him a look of exasperation as she glanced at Lu Hongshen, who was still questioning his life choices.
Wait a minute!
No wonder this guy looked so familiar!
Isn’t this the T0 chosen one from my past life—the guy who kept calling himself “this venerable one,” just like the Dragon King?
She couldn’t remember his exact name, but she recalled people calling him “Immortal Master Lu”!
He wasn’t exactly weak, but he wasn’t overwhelmingly strong either.
In any case!
It’s best not to provoke him!
Su Muwan looked at Lu Hongshen, who had already been slapped across the face.
*Slap!*
She facepalmed.
Well, it’s too late now.
I don’t even want to comment on how fast Qin Luo is at throwing hands!
“What’s wrong, Miss Su?”
Qin Luo blinked innocently.
He was in the middle of a verbal assault.
“Never mind, just carry on.”
Su Muwan waved her hand helplessly.
Whatever.
It’s just one T0 reset. No big deal.
Qin Luo understood and asked, “Miss Su, are you saying I shouldn’t waste my breath on this trash?”
“Hey, hey, hey... when did I say that...”
The XuanYuan grandfather and grandson duo were also dumbfounded.
Dude, what’s going on here?
You were bragging so much earlier.
And now you’ve been slapped down from the heavens in one hit?
What are we supposed to do now?!
Lu Hongshen, covering his swollen cheek, glared at the two people who were casually discussing him.
His gaze gradually sharpened, and his eyes burned with anger.
So, these two were Qin Luo and Su Muwan?!!
He had heard so many rumors about them over the past few days.
So, he was confident—absolutely certain!!
“Su Muwan,” Lu Hongshen said coldly, “you actually sent your subordinate to attack this venerable one?”
“Do you know who this venerable one is...?”
Before he could finish,
*Slap!!*
“Ugh—!”
Qin Luo delivered another slap and scolded, “How dare you speak so disrespectfully?! This slap is for your blindness! You don’t even recognize my Miss Su!”
“And ‘this venerable one’? The last guy who called himself that is already in the hospital!”
Lu Hongshen’s cheeks were now swollen on both sides, and he was completely bewildered.
What was going on?
Why... couldn’t he move?!
Most importantly,
Lu Hongshen was stunned: “Su Muwan... you actually attacked this venerable one?”
Su Muwan was at a loss for words.
Let me ask you this.
How would you feel if you saw someone lying on the ground, covering their face, and then haughtily demanding to know why they were being slapped?
Su Muwan’s response was, setting aside feelings for a moment,
why do you all keep thinking I’m the one telling Qin Luo to hit people?!
“Sigh...”
Su Muwan took a deep breath and her expression darkened.
She had been slacking off for a while in this life, forgetting how she dealt with these chosen ones in her past life!
If the tiger doesn’t show its claws, you’ll mistake it for a kitten!
With that thought, icy spiritual energy gathered at her fingertips, and she sneered, “This venerable one?”
“Like Qin Luo said, the last guy who called himself that!”
“Is already in the hospital!”
As she spoke,
her gaze sharpened, and the spiritual energy at her fingertips surged toward Lu Hongshen.
*Splat!!*
The energy enveloped his entire body, instantly freezing all his meridians.
“Cough!!”
A mouthful of blood sprayed from Lu Hongshen’s mouth, and his pupils contracted in shock.
I... am crippled...
How... how... how is this possible?!
How could there be such a powerful figure in this world?
[Congratulations, Master, for performing a lackey’s duty against the T0 protagonist of “The Strongest Immortal Master in the City,” Lu Hongshen.]
[Current reward attribute points: 10!]
A system notification popped up.
Qin Luo looked at Su Muwan in surprise.
Wow, she usually never bothered to take action.
Why did she just cripple a T0 protagonist this time?
But that didn’t stop him from showering her with praise. Qin Luo clapped: “As expected of Miss Su, effortlessly taking down this troublemaker who disrupted the city’s order.”
“Hmph!”
Su Muwan snorted lightly and retracted her spiritual energy.
After a few seconds,
she let out a relieved sigh.
The main reason she had crippled a T0 protagonist was...
to test whether she still had that cursed villainous constitution.
As everyone knew, whenever she took action against a chosen one, some old geezer would inevitably show up to rescue them.
But...
it had been a while now, and nothing unusual had happened.
Could it be...
Su Muwan looked up at the sky, her eyes filled with joy.
Could it be?!
After spending so much time with Qin Luo, had her villainous constitution been cleansed?!
So...
I’ve...
been redeemed...
Just as she was thinking this,
*Boom!!!*
“......”
A golden light shot up from the ancient ruins into the sky.
Then,
an ancient voice echoed.
[Who dares to bully my XuanYuan descendants?!]
“!!!”
The XuanYuan grandfather and grandson duo immediately perked up and shouted excitedly, “Ancestor!!! It’s Ancestor XuanYuan!!!”
Huh?
Su Hongshen was momentarily stunned.
Then her pupils trembled in shock.
Are you kidding me?! There’s a delay now?!!

He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples.
