Chapter 99: Bullying You? So what if my Primordial Immortal Court bullies you?
The moment these words were spoken, heaven and earth fell silent.
Countless sect master–level giants trembled, and the servants from the Immortal Palace turned deathly pale.
Because in their hearts, that supreme faith, the True Immortal who had lived from the Immortal Ancient Era until now, had actually been insulted like this?
Arrogant!
Simply arrogant beyond measure!
Directly calling out the crippled immortal, addressing him as an old cripple, and even declaring he would send him on his way.
At this moment, it was as if all sound had vanished from the world. Everyone held their breath and stared fixedly at the bronze immortal palace floating within the chaotic mist.
What kind of provocation was this?
"Shua—"
Yet, right in the midst of this suffocating confrontation, a patch of five-colored divine light suddenly surged over from the distant horizon. It was dazzling and resplendent, as if it intended to sweep away everything in the world.
Accompanied by a clear and resonant cry of a bird, a divine avian streaked across the sky. When its wings spread, they blotted out heaven and earth.
"The Peacock Divine Lord?!"
Someone among the crowd cried out, recognizing the newcomer.
Soon after, the divine bird transformed into a heroic middle-aged man. Behind him followed several elders of his clan, each radiating terrifying auras, their vitality surging like dragons.
The Peacock Divine Lord's expression was excited. He ignored the gazes of the Immortal Palace members and instead looked toward the lower realm with blazing eyes. Then, he solemnly bowed toward the people of Qingyun Sect and the Daoist boy.
"The Peacock Clan remembers the grace of guidance once bestowed by Lord Ancestor Sacrificial Spirit!"
"Today, the Peacock Clan is willing to stand with the Qingyun Sect, with the strength of our entire clan. Even at the cost of death, we will protect Lord Ancestor Sacrificial Spirit!"
As soon as these words fell, the gathered heroes changed their expressions.
The Peacock Clan was a great clan of the Upper Realm. No one expected that, at such a critical moment, they would so firmly stand against the Immortal Palace.
And just then, the bronze immortal palace that had been silent for so long finally responded.
"Ah…"
An aged sigh echoed out, shaking the void until it trembled.
The bronze immortal palace did not open, but the will belonging to the crippled immortal was clearly transmitted outward.
"Since Fellow Daoist comes from that place, why must you press so aggressively?"
"This seat carries injuries of the Great Dao and has remained in slumber for many years. My body is incomplete, making it inconvenient to appear. Please forgive this offense, fellow Daoist."
He yielded.
That colossal existence, which had overlooked the Three Thousand Provinces for countless years, had actually lowered its head.
This scene made every powerhouse present feel their scalps go numb.
That was the remnant immortal of the Immortal Palace!
Although burdened with Dao injuries, he was still the true ceiling of this world, a genuine immortal!
Yet now, facing a mere Daoist boy, he chose to retreat?
Soon after, the remnant immortal's voice sounded again, though this time it was directed at the Immortal Palace Supreme.
"Return. Do not continue making a spectacle of yourself."
Upon hearing this, although the Immortal Palace Supreme felt humiliated, he knew that since the ancestor had spoken, today's matter could no longer continue.
Thus, he shot Qingyunzi a fierce glare, withdrew his great halberd, and turned to leave.
"Wait."
But just then, a childish voice suddenly rang out.
The Daoist boy, suspected to be from the Primordial Immortal Court, stood with his hands behind his back. His eyelids lifted slightly as he asked calmly:
"Did I allow you to leave?"
Hearing this, the Immortal Palace Supreme halted. He abruptly turned around.
"Do not go too far!"
"My ancestor has already yielded. What more do you want?"
"What do I want?"
The Daoist boy sneered and pointed downward at the pale-faced Qingyun Sect Master, who was currently being supported by his disciples.
"You injured my people and think you can just pat your backside and leave?"
"There is no such cheap deal in this world."
"Do you really think the territory of my Primordial Immortal Court is a place you can come and go from as you please?"
"Then, what does Fellow Daoist intend to do?"
From within the ancient bronze palace, the remnant immortal's voice sounded again, now carrying a trace of coldness.
"Very simple."
The Daoist boy stood with his hands behind his back, speaking slowly.
"In the past, an Immortal King–level Dao lineage killed an outer sect disciple of my sect. In response, a sequence disciple of my sect exterminated that lineage's ancient kingdom."
"Today, seeing that your attitude is still somewhat respectful, I will give you an opportunity."
"Have this Di Kun commit suicide to atone for his sins, and present three immortal medicines as compensation."
"Then, this matter will be considered settled."
"What?!"
Di Kun suddenly turned his head, glaring at the Daoist boy like an enraged lion.
"You want this seat to commit suicide?!"
"The Primordial Immortal Court acts far too tyrannically!"
After hearing the Daoist boy's demand, the aura of the remnant immortal within the bronze palace finally lost its calm. A terrifying fluctuation, suppressed for countless ages, faintly seeped out.
"Fellow Daoist, show mercy where mercy is due."
"Compensation may be discussed, but Di Kun is my descendant and also the Supreme of this era."
"To ask him to commit suicide… I cannot agree."
The many giants and sect leaders present were also shocked.
Making a Supreme commit suicide?
And demanding three immortal medicines?
This was not a settlement; it was clearly cutting off the Immortal Palace's very foundation!
Setting aside whether immortal medicines even existed, just the death of a Supreme would cause the Immortal Palace to suffer a devastating loss.
Seeing his demand rejected, the Daoist boy spread his hands helplessly.
"In that case, there's nothing left to discuss."
Faced with the Daoist boy's relentless pressure, the remnant immortal finally grew somewhat irritated.
"Fellow Daoist, you are being too domineering."
"Do you truly think there is no one in the Upper Realm?"
His words carried both threat and persuasion.
He was also hinting to the other giants present: if the Immortal Palace bowed today, tomorrow it would be their turn.
"Of course I'm bullying you. So what?"
The Daoist boy sneered directly in response. His delicate little face was filled with disdain, not even bothering to hide it.
"The one I'm bullying is exactly you, old cripple!"
"You…"
The remnant immortal laughed in anger. When he spoke again, his tone became fierce but hollow.
"I observe that the fellow Daoist is merely a Dao incarnation. Your realm may not be much higher than ours!"
"If you insist on this, even at the cost of exhausting my origin, I can summon several old friends from the past to fight you!"
"At that time, even if we perish, this Dao incarnation of yours may not return to the Immortal Domain!"
A threat!
A naked threat!
Those old friends naturally referred to the remnant immortals who had once joined forces to besiege Liu Shen and Kunpeng.
If four remnant immortals appeared together and fought without regard for cost, even a true immortal descending might find it troublesome.
Yet, after hearing this, the Daoist boy showed no fear. Instead, he threw his head back and laughed loudly, his face filled with ridicule.
"Hahahahaha! Old friends?"
"You mean those old fellows from Sword Valley, Heavenly Kingdom, and Demon Dragon Sect?"
"Leaving aside the fact that they were seriously injured when they ambushed Kunpeng back then, whether they would even be willing to exhaust their last breath of immortal energy to fight alongside you."
"Even if they were willing, what do I have to fear?!"
After speaking, the Daoist boy stepped forward.
His aura exploded instantly. The previously calm heavens and earth immediately changed color. Faintly, an ancient bronze lamp could be seen rising and falling behind him. Within its wick burned flames of chaos!
"But your words did remind me of something."
"Before the Tenth Sequence of my Primordial Immortal Court entered seclusion, he entrusted me with a task."
"He said Kunpeng once bestowed upon him the grace of imparting the Dao. He hoped I would slaughter all of you and avenge the Kunpeng lineage!"
"If I do not act, then when Ye Qingyu leaves seclusion, he will inevitably descend to this realm to settle accounts!"
"If that's the case, then let's begin today!"
