Reinforcements

The azure sky.

A silver full moon emerged in the eastern heavens.

A middle-aged man with a lean build and graying temples sat cross-legged on a mountain rock, practicing breath control techniques.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes, a gleam of sharp light flashing within them.

Twenty years... my strength has finally returned.

The middle-aged man gazed at the night sky and said slowly, "The blood debt from back then, I, Cheng Yuanfeng, will surely repay it!"

This person was precisely Cheng Yuanfeng.

Now that his strength had recovered, the aged appearance on his face had faded considerably. His posture was upright, making him look as if he had rejuvenated by twenty years.

His essence, energy, and spirit had all undergone a tremendous transformation.

"Hah, that kid Chen Bing is truly a monster. I owe him a great debt of gratitude."

Cheng Yuanfeng smiled, speaking with considerable emotion.

Back then, he had already given up hope, planning to drift through the mortal world, wanting to be a good-for-nothing living idly like An Yi.

Unexpectedly, by a twist of fate, he encountered Chen Bing.

A cheat-like existence who had been reincarnating in this world for a thousand years!

Thus, following Chen Bing's instructions,

he went to the desolate Chuan Ice Plains in the far north and obtained a ten-thousand-year snow lotus to consume.

Not only were the toxins in his body completely purged, but his physique even recovered to the state appropriate for his age.

Under the night sky, the silver moon hung high.

Cheng Yuanfeng looked at the jade pendant in his hand, inscribed with the characters "Shangguan."

A vortex appeared in the sky. Cheng Yuanfeng gripped the pendant, his eyes determined, and abruptly leaped into the vortex.

"Youyun, I'm back."

Not long after.

Another group of people had already appeared at the base of the canyon.

Among them was the legendary big shot known as the God of Death, Lin Chen.

"A-Chen, are we really going in?" Su Xue'er asked, somewhat uneasy.

Lin Chen nodded slightly. "Let's check it out. Four to five hundred members of the Asura Gate are inside. It's been a month, and no one has come out."

Tang Qingqing gritted her teeth, her eyes blazing with anger. "That bastard Xiao Yike! When I see him, I'll tear him apart. He went by himself, fine, but why did he have to drag our Lao Bai in with him?"

Mo Jiu and Han Liang exchanged a glance behind them, not daring to speak.

They had watched helplessly as Xiao Yike, in his berserk persona, dragged away the sleeping Bai Xiu.

Shangguan Qianqian said solemnly, "Let's go. The opening time is limited to only two hours."

As a reincarnator, she knew very well.

Three years later, spatial disarray would occur in this world, connecting the Immortal Gate and the mortal realm.

This spatial rift was a sign of the barrier between the two realms breaking.

Due to the disparity in strength,

countless people in the mortal realm would be slaughtered by sects from the Immortal Gate—it would be a calamity!

The Pantheon, the Dao Sect, the Heavenly Dragon Temple, the Law Enforcement Bureau, including the already somewhat famous Asura Gate, joined forces to counterattack and successfully repelled them, but the losses were also extremely heavy.

Having returned to this life, many things had already changed.

For example, An Yi did not have a decisive battle with the Blood Fiend Sect.

The Paradise organization, which was supposed to have annihilated the Underworld, was instead wiped out by the Asura Gate.

In her previous life, the current An Yi should have been a hoodlum on the streets; in this life, he had already become the world-renowned leader of the Asura Gate.

And she herself, through a series of coincidences, had become his woman...

Under these various changes, the future timeline had also become increasingly bizarre. No one could guess what would happen next.

But the vortex in the sky was clearly expanding and cracking further, seemingly heralding the day it would inevitably collapse.

Resolving the threat of the Immortal Gate before things happened was undoubtedly the best choice.

Even if they couldn't resolve it completely, this infiltration would allow them to know themselves and their enemy, making ample preparations for the outbreak of the next war.

"All members, assemble!"

Lin Chen turned around, looking at the orderly crowd, and spoke.

Besides him, there were Su Xue'er, Shangguan Qianqian, Mo Jiu, Han Liang...

and over three hundred Asura Gate members, including those from the Rose Hall.

Chen Bing stayed behind on Asura Island.

They had to leave someone capable in charge to guard the mortal realm. Thus, the steady and experienced Chen Bing was assigned to stay there, organizing the construction of the Asura Gate base with the remaining members.

After all, the Asura Gate had plenty of affairs in the mortal realm too.

An Yi, having washed his hands of management, left much of the work on Chen Bing's shoulders.

Speaking of which, it was a strange thing.

A few days ago, overnight, the strength of all Asura Gate members had increased by a notch.

Moreover, many who were on the verge of a major breakthrough directly advanced to the Transforming Realm or the Illusory Realm.

Currently, the overall strength of the Asura Gate had greatly improved!

"Let's move out!"

With that, Lin Chen leaped from the cliff, plunging into the black hole-like vortex.

Behind him, Su Xue'er, Shangguan Qianqian, and others followed, jumping into the vortex as well.

Suddenly, the jade pendant on Shangguan Qianqian's chest glowed.

She was slightly startled, a thoughtful expression appearing on her exquisite face.

To infiltrate the Immortal Gate, a key was needed.

However, items carrying the spiritual energy aura of the Immortal Gate could provide protection within the barrier.

But she never expected her own jade pendant would light up.

Could it be that this jade was an object from the Immortal Gate? Then she...

Before Shangguan Qianqian could ponder further,

a white light surged, and abruptly, they had arrived in another world.

"He will come."

"He won't come."

"He will come."

"He won't come."

An Yi had plucked all the petals off a flower. He lay back on the wooden platform of the pavilion, swinging his legs, watching the setting sun and sighing, "So boring."

He originally thought that after annihilating the five great sects, the Hundred Ghosts Sect would definitely not let them off.

Thus, the Azure Kite Pavilion had been on high alert.

Who knew, after being on alert for so many days, the Hundred Ghosts Sect had shown no movement whatsoever.

Now, the entire martial world was mocking the Hundred Ghosts Sect for being scared, acting like a turtle hiding in its shell.

Even so, the Hundred Ghosts Sect remained silent, just like that turtle.

As a result, An Yi was instead growing restless.

The feud with the Hundred Ghosts Sect had long been settled.

Even if the Hundred Ghosts Sect didn't pick a fight, An Yi wanted to find time to wipe them out.

But just at this moment, with their current manpower, they couldn't guarantee complete success.

Therefore, An Yi could only pin his hopes on Lin Chen, waiting for him to bring reinforcements from the mortal realm to storm the Hundred Ghosts Sect's stronghold in the Immortal Gate in one fell swoop.

Who would have thought so many days had passed, and Lin Chen still hadn't arrived.

"That poker-faced guy wouldn't have run into some trouble, would he?"

An Yi pinched his chin in thought, then shook his head.

"Just kidding, with that guy's strength, who in the entire Immortal Gate is even qualified to be his opponent?"

How strong exactly was Lin Chen after unlocking the spiritual power of the jade pendant?

No one knew, not even An Yi was too sure.

"Just have to wait."

An Yi did a kip-up, stood up, looked at the night that had already fallen, and a smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

The Immortal Gate world didn't have much nightlife.

After dark, people started preparing for sleep.

This was the perfect opportunity!

Thinking this, An Yi leaped down, stealthily made his way, and infiltrated Shen Muxuan's room...
