Rebirth of the Supreme Immortal Emperor Chapter 608 - 605: Immortal Master Li Comes to Pay Respect t

Li Chen didn’t pay attention to Gu Jianfeng and Wei ngru. Out of respect for Wei Chaoyun’s face, they also refrained from causing more trouble.

"ngru, you know, that Immortal Master Li..."

Gu Jianfeng prattled on endlessly, spitting as he regaled Wei ngru with the legendary tales of Immortal Master Li.

And what frustrated Li Chen was that so tales baffled even himself.

When did I ever do such things?

When they reached the foot of Taiping Mountain, the incident Wei Chaoyun had feared finally happened.

A group of disciples with yellow turbans wrapped around their heads, wearing Taoist robes, and each brandishing a Peach Wood Sword, stepped forward to block their path, demanding what they called a "sincerity offering."

Acting on the principle that avoiding trouble is better than seeking it, Wei Chaoyun chose to pay off instead of inviting disaster, as long as it wasn’t too much.

On the way, they had encountered "disciples" twice, who, seeing the young and beautiful Wei ngru, tried to kidnap her under the pretense of opening her body’s spiritual channels.

However, they were all scared off by Gu Shan, a Cross-training Master.

Unquestionably, this made Wei ngru admire Gu Jianfeng even more, and also filled her with contempt for her peer, Li Chen, often squeezing him with her words.

Li Chen couldn’t be bothered to argue with them and mostly kept silent.

At this mont, he was already contemplating in his heart how to kill the Taiping Three Ancestors and exterminate their entire sect.

By noon, they had passed through the Outer Mountain and arrived at the Inner Mountain.

There stood a giant rock, rising ten ters high from the ground. On it, with the forceful and elegant strokes of a dragon or snake, was written sixteen mighty characters:

The Blue Heaven is dead, the Yellow Heaven shall rise. In the year Jiazi, great fortune to the world!

Directly opposite the rock was a stone column-built porch.

A golden plaque was fixed above the porch, inscribed with three gilded characters: "Taiping Sect."

To the left and right beneath it stood eight disciples each, and in the middle stood a Deacon dressed in a Seven-star Taoist Robe.

Ahead was a group of believers who had co to beseech for Holy Water, now neatly kneeling on the ground.

The Deacon waved his horsetail whisk arrogantly and strode forward.

"Behold, the grandest and most magnificent hall atop the summit, that is the Great Virtuous Master Palace. It is also the place where the Great Sage concocts the Holy Water. From here to the main hall, there are nine hundred and ninety-nine steps, symbolizing the path to ascension."

"If you seek to beseech for Holy Water, you must prostrate and kowtow thrice, all the way to the main hall, to show your sincerity!"

Upon hearing the Deacon’s words, those who ca for the Holy Water did not find the claim absurd, but rather saw it as the Great Sage’s test of their sincerity, and they all kneeled in unison.

The first to kneel were people of the lower social strata who, aside from their lives and so-called personal dignity, had nothing else.

Then ca the wealthy and politicians who wished for promotion and fortune. They may have hesitated, but before money and power, character and integrity had long since beco trivial matters.

Lastly, the aristocratic young masters and ladies who usually prided themselves on their nobility knelt.

However, their so-called nobility was rely a bargaining chip traded for a high price. To be conquered by those of higher nobility and to enhance their own value was their lifelong aspiration.

Gu Jianfeng and Gu Shan knelt, Wei Chaoyun and his sister Wei ngru also knelt.

Only Li Chen remained proudly erect like a pine, standing out conspicuously among the groveling crowd.

When the Deacon noticed there was one who had not knelt, his face instantly darkened.

He waved his horsetail whisk again and called out coldly, "Young man, before the Great Sage, why do you not kneel?"

At his words, all eyes instantly turned towards Li Chen.

"Brother Li, what are you doing? Hurry up and kneel down, kowtow, and apologize to the Great Sage!"

Wei Chaoyun was a kind-hearted man. Worried that Li Chen, due to his impulsive nature, would offend the Taiping Sect’s Master, he hurriedly spoke up to remind him.

"Hmph, you’ve already co here, why still pretend to be aloof?"

Wei ngru also looked down on Li Chen, sneering at him under her breath.

Gu Jianfeng and the others took pleasure in his misfortune, eagerly awaiting Li Chen’s bad luck.

The other people also gathered in small groups to discuss, shaking their heads and sighing at Li Chen, laughing at his false pretensions of propriety and his inability to read the situation.

The Deacon, seeing officials and nobles, as well as children of the aristocratic families all kneeling before him, was filled with even more pride. He stroked his goatee, deliberately putting on the air of a hermit expert from beyond this world.

"Coming to Taiping Mountain to pray for Holy Water is all about sincerity. If you are insincere, then why co here at all?"

Li Chen coldly chuckled and said, "Heh, when did I ever say that I ca for the so-called Holy Water?"

Once Li Chen made this remark, everyone was shocked, looking at him with incredulous gazes.

The complexion of the Taiping Sect’s Deacon turned dark as water, and he angrily shouted, "If not to pray for Holy Water, then why have you co to Taiping Sect? Could it be that you are here to challenge the authority of the Great Sage?"

No sooner had these words left his mouth than the Deacon felt his statent was absurdly comical.

Not to ntion the millennial foundation of their Taiping Sect, which couldn’t be compared to other sects or aristocratic families. Just considering the presence of three old ancestors alone, the most powerful Star Pavilion still had to bow obediently. All other forces had surrendered to them; who would be so tired of living as to co here and provoke them?

If there really were such a person, they must have a problem in their head!

Gu Jianfeng, Wei Chaoyun, and his sister, upon hearing Li Chen’s words, were also extrely astonished in their minds. If not to pray for Holy Water—and clearly not desiring to enter the tutelage of the Great Sage—then what was his purpose? Surely he hadn’t co to stir up trouble?

Contemplating this, several people with quick wits subconsciously retreated, not wanting to stand too close to Li Chen, lest they be mistaken for his accomplices and suffer collateral damage.

Li Chen sneered coldly, striding forward with determination and declared in a asured tone, "Immortal Master Li of Star Pavilion, has co to pay a visit to the Great Sage of Taiping Sect!"

His voice bood like thunder in a clear sky, exploding loudly. Rocks tumbled like thousands of horses stampeding ambitiously, resounding and deafening.

So Martial Artists fared a bit better, only feeling dizzy and disoriented. However, ordinary people collapsed on the spot, knocked unconscious by the shock.

Hearing him announce his identity, everyone present was astounded with eyes wide and mouths agape.

Gu Jianfeng, Guu ngru, and others wore faces of disbelief.

The Taiping Sect’s Deacon and Disciples were like seeing a ghost in broad daylight, faces filled with terror.

"Imm... Immortal Master Li?"

Li Chen ignored them, instead casting his gaze towards that ten-ter-tall boulder.

"Hmph, what nonsense about ’the azure sky is dead, the yellow sky should rise.’ Today, I will annihilate your Taiping Sect and see if you dare to be so arrogant again?"

Before his voice fell, Li Chen’s fingers transford into a blade, and as a bright rainbow, he split the giant rock.

"Boom!"

The boulder was cleaved in two and crashed directly onto the stone pillar porch.

At that mont, the porch bearing the gilded characters "Taiping Sect" also collapsed thunderously, crushing several stupefied Disciples to death in the process.

Fortunately, the Deacon had so skills and narrowly avoided catastrophe.

Subsequently, abandoning any image he had as a Master, he rolled away to escape so ten ters, then panickedly shouted, "Disaster! Disaster! Immortal Master Li from Star Pavilion is here!"

Li Chen watched him silently, like looking at a dead man. Once the man had run a hundred ters away, Li Chen flicked his finger, a flash of Sword Light pierced through his entire body.

Blood gushed out instantly, streaming down the stone stairs.

There was only one path leading up the mountain from this place.

Li Chen rolled up the massive rock, completely sealing off the only way. Outsiders couldn’t co in, and those inside couldn’t get out.

Today, he intended to carry out a bloody purge of the Taiping Sect!
