The crimson-robed man's soft words caused Ji Changfeng's heart to twitch. It was as if his heart was being squeezed by an invisible hand.
Actually, the blood-robed man didn't do anything to him. He only felt this way because he was afraid.
This fear came from the depths of his heart and soul. Even his body was trembling slightly.
Facing the blood-robed man's murderous gaze, Ji Changfeng tried his best to suppress the fear in his heart and stabilize his mind.
He raised his hands and bowed respectfully. "Congratulations on your return from the Blood Prison, my lord."
Ji Changfeng lowered his posture and his hands were trembling slightly. He was an expert at the fifth stage of the Earth Immortal Stage, the Yin Spring Stage. Moreover, he was also an Emperor Dao Titled Paragon. However, in front of the blood-robed man, he could only bow and scrape.
The blood-robed man placed his hands behind his back and looked into the distance. He didn't even look at Ji Changfeng and said indifferently, "It seems like you still remember me. I thought that you were arrogant and didn't put me in your eyes."
"I wouldn't dare. I wouldn't dare to be arrogant and take advantage of my seniority. My lord is the real senior. I wouldn't dare to forget my lord's invincible might!"
Ji Changfeng's heart was trembling. The person in front of him was a ruthless person. The name of the Butcher was heard by everyone in the Profound Spirit World.
That's right, the blood-robed man was the Butcher. One foot of the Butcher's Knife would cause ten miles of blood.
Although they were both titled Earth Immortals, a title didn't represent strength. A title only meant that one had reached the peak of a certain domain. Their strength wasn't the same.
20,000 years ago, the Butcher could run amok in the Profound Spirit World. No one could contend against him. If a god blocked his path, he would kill a god. If a Buddha blocked his path, he would kill a Buddha.
Later on, he entered the Blood Prison and there was no news of him. However, no one expected him to return at this time.
Although the Sect Master of the Grand Essence Sect, Luo Jinxiu, had vaguely reminded him that the Butcher was about to return, he didn't expect him to be so fast.
However, he did not expect that it would be so fast. It had only been a few days, and now the person was already standing in front of him.
This was an existence that made the entire Profound Spirit World tremble. No one could stop his Butcher's Knife.
It was true that he was an Emperor Dao Titled Paragon. However, it didn't mean that the Emperor Dao was the strongest. The Emperor Dao was more about scheming, attacking the mind and strategy.
But the person in front of him, regardless of what level his cultivation had reached, even if it was on the Great Dao, the Butcher cultivated the Dao of Killing, and that was something he had achieved through killing.
There was no difference in strength in the Great Dao. It mainly depended on whose comprehension was deeper and whose cultivation was stronger. There was no need to doubt Butcher's cultivation. He was probably standing at the peak of the Earth Immortal Realm, or perhaps even higher.
The Butcher's gaze landed on Ji Changfeng's face. He revealed a strange smile and teased, "You've caused quite a lot of trouble recently. Do you want to spar?"
"I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare. That was just a small matter. How could it be compared to Senior's invincibility in the Profound Spirit World back then?"
What kind of joke was this?
Ji Changfeng knew his own limits. Putting aside the fact that the Butcher had grown over the past 20,000 years, even with his current strength, he had no chance of winning against the Butcher from 20,000 years ago.
The Butcher said coldly, "But you almost ruined my grand plan. If I had my temper back then, you would be a corpse by now."
Hearing this, Ji Changfeng's heart tightened. Could it be that the Butcher had some other plans in the Qinglian School?
Sure enough, the Butcher said, "You can't touch the Qinglian School. You can't touch Yun Shisan either. If it's the younger generation, I won't interfere. But if it's you old guys, you know the consequences."
Ji Changfeng thought to himself that it was as expected. He quickly said, "I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare. With your words, even if you gave me ten heads, I wouldn't dare. After I go back, I will restrain my disciples. They definitely won't touch the Qinglian School!"
He only said that he wouldn't touch the Qinglian School. He didn't say that he wouldn't touch Yun Shisan. He heard it very clearly just now. Yun Shisan could still be touched, but only by the younger generation. The older generation couldn't touch him.
"Since you're the one who started this matter, it's naturally impossible for it to end so easily. I'm too lazy to make a move against you. The Celestial King Sect has a sect to punish you."
The Butcher's voice was still calm and didn't reveal any killing intent. However, Ji Changfeng could feel the majestic killing intent hidden in this calm voice.
"The Door of Profundity?" Ji Changfeng's body trembled.
The Butcher said with an unquestionable tone, "That's right. Hand it over. I know it's on you."
Ji Changfeng was a bit hesitant. The Door of Profundity was something that the ancestors of the Celestial King Sect spent their entire lives to create.
If he handed it over just like that, then the efforts of his ancestors would be wasted.
This wasn't the main point. The main point was that no one understood the value of the Door of Profundity better than him. He wouldn't even exchange it for an immortal tool.
However, now that the Butcher had spoken, he hesitated. This was the Door of Profundity that his ancestors had spent their blood, sweat, and tears to create.
However, if he didn't hand it over, then the Butcher would never fail to get what he wanted. Even if it was something that he had already eaten, he would still beat it out.
If he refused, then not only would he die, but the Celestial King Sect would also be destroyed.
The Celestial King Sect was also the foundation of his ancestors, so there was no need to think too much about which one was more important.
At this moment, the Butcher said, "There's a rumor that the Celestial King Sect created two Doors of Profundity. One of them was already perfected, but the other one was ruined by you guys. I only want that ruined one."
Hearing this, Ji Changfeng's heart lightened a lot. However, that so-called ruined Door of Profundity wasn't really ruined. It just didn't seem to be suitable for them to use.
"That Door of Profundity had a deviation. Not to mention us, I'm afraid no one in the Profound Spirit World can use it. Why don't we give it to him and protect the Celestial King Sect?"
With this thought, he flipped his palm and took out a swarthy iron plate. He respectfully handed it over to the Butcher and said, "This is the Door of Profundity that was created in the beginning. However, after it was created, none of us could use it. Not only that, we even found many people to try it out, but we found that they couldn't use it at all."
"You don't have to worry about that!" The Butcher sneered in his heart. This wasn't something that belonged to the Celestial King Sect in the first place, so of course it couldn't be used.
He took the Door of Profundity and said, "Go back and behave. Otherwise, this lord will descend on the Celestial King Sect next time!"
"Yes, my lord. I will go back and cultivate in seclusion right away!"
Ji Changfeng left faster than he came and disappeared in a flash. He really didn't dare to stay here for too long. The pressure in front of the Butcher was too great.
The Butcher didn't pay attention to Ji Changfeng at all. He looked at the iron plate in his hand. Although it looked like an iron plate, it wasn't made of ordinary iron. It was made of deep sea cold iron and star cores.
Star cores were also known as the hearts of stars. They were real stars. Outside the Profound Spirit World was a starry sky with countless star clusters.
It was said that they were all worlds. However, some of the worlds were suitable for life, while some were barren. There were all kinds of worlds.
Sometimes, meteors could be seen streaking across the sky. In fact, those meteors were falling stars. When the stars fell, they would create intense friction in the void and slowly erase the entire star world.
In the end, only the harder parts were left. These parts would be sucked into the worlds under the attraction force.
This was how meteorites and meteorites came about. They were the hardest part of a star. However, the real core of a star wasn't these. It was the source of the entire star.
This dark and swarthy iron plate was forged from the heart of the stars. Just this material alone was enough to show that it was of the highest quality.
On this iron plate, a door was engraved. It was a door with two opened doors. The two words "Profundity" were on one side.
"Not a bad treasure!"
The Butcher nodded and extended his finger to tap on the Door of Profundity. A mysterious energy surged into the Door of Profundity.
In the next moment, he turned to look in a certain direction and suddenly threw out the Door of Profundity.
The Door of Profundity turned into an aurora and streaked across the horizon, disappearing without a trace.
"I hope it's useful to you. There's not much I can do. Whether you can return to the peak and find your way back will depend on you."
Butcher muttered something inexplicable in a low voice. He looked in a certain direction with a murderous look in his eyes.
"Soul Hall, it's enough to have Acheron Pavilion in this world. Soul Hall, since you jumped out, then let's have some fun."
A terrifying murderous aura emanated from the Butcher. It instantly enveloped the entire peak of East Peak. The murderous aura was like a tidal wave, turning the peak into a sea of blood.
However, he quickly retracted it and shook his head. "Forget it, it's a bit of a waste to kill them all. I'll just go kill half and leave the other half for him to play with."
With that, the Butcher disappeared from East Peak Mountain as if he was never there.
…
Immortal Alliance. Huang Yuxiang and Young Emperor Ji Xuanye sat across from each other at a tea table. White steam rose from the tea and the entire study room was filled with a refreshing fragrance.
Huang Yuxiang was silent for a long time. She looked up at Ji Xuanye and softly said, "Young Emperor, your Heaven King Sect seems to be plotting against the Qinglian School!"
Ji Xuanye looked at her for a while and put down his teacup. "That's not something we can interfere with!"
"But …"
"No buts!"
Ji Xuanye shook his head and stared at her. "I know you want to enter the Qinglian Secret Land. No matter what they're planning or whether they succeed or not, it won't affect us entering the Qinglian Secret Land. Maybe it's a good thing."
It would be even better if the Qinglian School was destroyed. Everyone in the world could enter the Qinglian Secret Land.
If the Qinglian School wasn't destroyed, then its strength would definitely decline after being tortured by those big shots. Once the Qinglian Secret Land was opened, then they would have to face all the cultivators in the world.
Even if the Qinglian School was intact, they could still proceed with their original plan.
Huang Yuxiang didn't say anything. The two just quietly tasted the tea. The entire study room fell into silence.
After a long while, Ji Xuanye faintly said, "I feel that those memories are very important to us. However, we don't remember anything now. There's a gap in our memories."
Huang Yuxiang heard this and frowned. "You mean the memories in the Sea of Clouds in that small world?
Although I don't know what happened, it seems like our memories were purposely erased. "
