After ascending for a while, Brother Cheng felt a bit puzzled.
"Why haven't we seen anyone along the way?"
Li Junlang curiously said, "Senior really wants to see other people?"
Sect Leader Jiang was still hoping to see a few disciples or the Azure Dragon, so he could tag along with them.
But thinking about it carefully, the chances of encountering soone were indeed slim.
The entire high sky of the Upper Immortal Realm was covered with Daoist Clouds at the mont, what a vast expanse that was, simply unimaginable.
"Yeah, as an Immortal who loves to help people, I also want to lend a hand."
"Hahaha, Senior is truly a model for us all!"
"You're too kind, you're too kind..."
The conversation between these two left Zhu Qinglian speechless.
She didn't believe anyone could be so warm-hearted.
It's a pity that no matter how worried and anxious she was, it was of no use.
The three of them continued ascending and soon actually encountered soone.
In the distance, they saw a Ghost Cultivator struggling to climb in the howling wind.
Even Li Junlang could sense the obvious Death Qi, so he sought Brother Cheng's opinion.
"Senior, this seems to be a Ghost Cultivator from the Netherworld, are you willing to take him?"
Sect Leader Jiang looked closely and saw it wasn't soone he knew, so he casually said, "Whatever."
"Not surprising for a senior, broad-minded and without prejudice!"
Li Junlang praised as he enthusiastically waved his hands, calling out loudly towards the Ghost Cultivator.
"Fellow Daoist!"
"Fellow Daoist from the Netherworld, co over here!"
"Our senior here can give you a lift..."
The Ghost Cultivator turned and saw that it was actually an Immortal Venerable.
Dare to disturb him?
Isn't that courting death?
But then he saw Brother Cheng's Immortal Soul, which clearly surpassed the Immortal King level, and turned pale with fright.
Holy crap!
Quasi-Emperor!
Without a word, he turned tail and fled.
He ran faster than a rabbit!
Brother Cheng's Immortal Body was both Immortal and Demon, his Immortal Soul could be both Immortal and Demon, so upon seeing two Immortal Venerables together, he naturally regarded them as big shots from the Immortal Realm.
Even if he encountered a Quasi-Emperor from the Ghost Realm, he wouldn't dare to approach.
Let alone from the Immortal Realm.
Brother Cheng naturally wasn't interested in chasing, he wasn't here to clear the field.
Watching the Ghost King's clumsy escape, Li Junlang was dumbfounded.
"Why did he run?"
"We were willing to take him with us, such a good deal!"
Offering good intentions that others didn't appreciate, Li Junlang felt a bit disappointed.
Brother Cheng shrugged: "Maybe it's because we're too handso, and he felt ashad to stand with us."
"Haha, yes, yes, that's definitely it!"
Li Junlang imdiately understood and coquettishly smoothed his beautiful hair, revealing a shiny square forehead.
"Actually, we wouldn't say he's ugly to his face; he's just too sensitive and fragile."
"Who says otherwise?"
Listening to these two talk, Zhu Qinglian looked constipated.
Doesn't anyone know why that Ghost King had to run?
The three continued ascending, and after a while, they unexpectedly ran into more than a dozen Demon Kings.
Since positions were random, encountering acquaintances here was extrely rare; the fact that Li Junlang and Zhu Qinglian could et was already a miracle.
Seeing more than a dozen people in a group, even Brother Cheng was a bit surprised.
Li Junlang once again sought approval: "Senior, with so many people, are you willing to take them?"
Seeing his eager expression, it was clear he was elated to see any strangers because he was usually not allowed to leave the Sect.
So Brother Cheng nodded, fulfilling his small wish.
"Alright!"
Li Junlang was overjoyed and was about to shout, but Zhu Qinglian stopped him in panic.
"No!"
"They are Demon Cultivators, they are the enemy!"
The previous Ghost Cultivator from the Netherworld was one thing, having little enmity with the Immortal Realm.
But this ti with the Demon Realm, it's truly a situation of water and fire not co-existing.
If not for leaving them being a matter of life or death, she would have wanted to flee right now.
But Li Junlang couldn't understand her concern.
"Junior Sister, what are you saying?"
He said with displeasure, "We're not part of the Immortal-Demon struggle, we have no hatred with Demon Cultivators, why bother with such prejudices?"
"You may not care, but they will!"
Zhu Qinglian was almost mad with worry: "Once discovered, we absolutely won't survive."
Then she suggested to Brother Cheng: "Senior, can we avoid here quickly before they notice us..."
Brother Cheng shrugged indifferently: "No need, can't you see my Immortal Soul is stronger than theirs?"
"But they have numbers..."
Here in the world with just Immortal Souls, it's nothing but soul against soul, no Power of Rules.
The biggest trump card for a Quasi-Emperor, Rule Brand, was useless here.
Compared to the Demon Kings, the power didn't hold much advantage.
Zhu Qinglian didn't believe he could take on a dozen of them alone.
"Don't worry, I can handle it!"
"Exactly, Elder Jiang said he could handle it, Junior Sister, how can you have so little faith in him?"
Li Junlang once again lectured his junior sister on being a decent person: "Questioning soone's power is impolite, didn't you know? Especially when he has been kind to us..."
As they were conversing, the distant group of Demon Cultivators finally noticed them.
Seeing Brother Cheng's 'Quasi-Emperor level' Immortal Soul, they all trembled, grinning nacingly.
"Looks like we can take down a big one."
"Fellow Daoists from the Demon Realm..."
Li Junlang was already waving his arms and shouting: "Our Elder Jiang is willing to take you, co on over!"
At this shout, the sneering Demon Cultivators across beca dumbfounded.
What's this move?
Seeing a dozen Demon Kings, not only didn't he flee but also invited them?
Could there be so trap or ambush?
Could there be other Immortal Kings lurking around?
The leading Ninth-grade Demon King quietly commanded: "Spread out and scout, watch out and be careful!"
So the other 14 Demon Kings spread out in a specific formation, each scouting further away.
Brother Cheng saw it all but couldn't be bothered to say anything.
At the level of Immortal Kings and Demon Kings, he's dealt with so many that he felt nothing about it.
And seeing they didn't co over imdiately, Li Junlang thought it was just like before. They were awed by his and Elder Jiang's handsoness, feeling ashad and unworthy to join them.
He quickly patted his chest in assurance: "Everyone, rest assured, we won't think your presence lowers our image because we're too handso."
"You can co in; we're very hospitable in the Immortal Realm..."
Zhu Qinglian had given up all hope once more.
She was desperate.
She just wanted to accuse the heavens of why they had sent such a pig teammate to ruin her.
There were clearly several chances to survive, but he perfectly bypassed them every ti and chose to jump into the deepest pit.
At this mont, the opposite group of Demon Kings soon realized there were no other Immortal Kings around.
So they finally closed in boldly.
They professionally ford an inescapable encirclent.
