However, since the opponent was the high and mighty Celestial Emperor, Li Changsheng had no way to deal with him.
Li Changsheng didn't even have the courage to appear before the Immortal Emperor, let alone seek revenge.
Today, Li Changsheng dares to stand before the Immortal Emperor only because Han Feng gave him the courage.
As long as Han Feng is in Changsheng Town, the Immortal Emperor cannot kill Li Changsheng.
"You're nothing but an ant. I was already doing you a huge favor by letting your son go back then. I never expected you to survive. You're lucky, I suppose. Now that you're standing in front of me, do you have anything to say?"
The Immortal Emperor's face and words were full of disdain.
"I want to say that you, Immortal Emperor, are truly a despicable person. If I hadn't helped you cultivate the Great Dao of Time, how could you have cultivated the Lightning of Time? You can repay kindness with enmity, so what else can't you do?"
Li Changsheng said angrily.
The Immortal Emperor narrowed his eyes slightly: "It seems you're relying on your master's power today. You dare to speak to me like that. Aren't you afraid of dying at my hands in the future?"
"What's there to be afraid of? Among all the people born and raised in the Southern Region, there shouldn't be anyone who has lived longer than me. I've lived long enough. If you want to kill me, go ahead."
Li Changsheng showed no fear whatsoever.
"Everyone, I have something to tell you. Back when this Immortal Emperor was just a Nascent Soul cultivator, he wanted to control the Great Dao of Time, so he learned wood carving from me..."
Li Changsheng went all out and recounted how the Immortal Emperor had followed him to learn the Dao back then.
The Immortal Emperor stood to the side listening, his face turning extremely ashen.
He had not suffered so much humiliation in a long time.
The culprit behind these disgraceful events is Han Feng.
The Immortal Emperor's hatred for Han Feng has surpassed that for Li Changsheng.
"Immortal Emperor, it's rather impolite of you to look at me like that."
Han Feng noticed the Immortal Emperor's gaze.
"I have no hostility towards you, fellow Daoist. Please do not misunderstand."
The Immortal Emperor forced a smile.
“We are all people who are far from enlightenment. Don’t think so badly of others. I’m telling you, there won’t be a next time.”
Han Feng's voice was icy and chilling.
The Immortal Emperor's face grew even uglier, but he couldn't utter a single word for a long time.
He could sense that Han Feng had become stronger; in just one month, his strength had increased significantly.
When he met Han Feng in Xiandu earlier, he could roughly sense Han Feng's strength.
The Immortal Emperor believed that if the two went to war, Han Feng would most likely be the victor.
But while it's easy for Han Feng to defeat himself, it's incredibly difficult for him to kill himself.
The Immortal Emperor now felt that killing him wouldn't be difficult for Han Feng.
"Fellow Daoists, although Li Changsheng is not a cultivator with great supernatural powers, he is the longest-lived person. Even he was deceived by the Immortal Emperor, let alone you."
"The Immortal Emperor is only pretending to agree to our request now. He will definitely go back on his word and exterminate us later. The Immortal Emperor is a cruel and vengeful person. I don't need to explain this in detail, do I?"
White-browed True Buddha and Tao.
“Master Bai Mei is right. You should think this through. Back then, the Immortal Emperor said he would share the world with us. Now he is still the Immortal Emperor, but we are either dead or have fled. Believing once is already outrageous enough, but believing twice is really going too far,” said Dean Bai Lu.
"Fellow Daoists, have you forgotten what you said before? Going back on your word is easily condemned."
The abbot of Qingfeng Temple spoke.
“The three seniors are right. We cannot easily trust the Immortal Emperor. He is not a trustworthy person.”
"We finally have the opportunity to execute Qin Zhengyang, we must not let it go."
"We have already offended the Immortal Emperor to death today. Whether we let Qin Zhengyang go or not, we are going to die anyway, so we might as well kill Qin Zhengyang."
"Qin Zhengyang has harmed so many of us. Letting him go is too lenient. He must be tortured to death."
"We must torment the Immortal Emperor in front of him. This is a rare opportunity, and if we miss it, we will never have another chance."
......
The crowd wavered and all wanted to kill Qin Zhengyang.
"Very well, I'll remember you three. I really underestimated you. You used to call me 'Your Majesty' all the time, but now you're openly contradicting me."
The Immortal Emperor's eyes burned with rage.
"Your Majesty, you may have misunderstood something. Our politeness towards you is not out of fear, but out of respect. We believe you are a sage ruler who is one in a billion years in the Southern Region and will surpass the Great Emperor of the Dao Region in the future."
“We hoped that cultivators and mortals could live together peacefully in the entire Southern Region, without hatred between different races. We never expected that you were the one in disguise, pretending to be a holy ruler, but being a tyrant at heart.”
"If we had known you were a tyrant, none of us three major powers would have assisted you in ruling the entire Southern Region, causing so many people in the Southern Region to die."
Dean Bai Lu showed no fear whatsoever.
"Amitabha."
White-browed True Buddha sighed, "I should have listened to my junior brother back then. He said you were a cruel and vengeful villain who would one day harm the entire Southern Region."
"At that time, I felt that my junior brother had gone too far. I just thought that you were the kind of person who held grudges over small things. The reason you wanted to kill the immortals you dealt with was probably because they were unstable."
"Later, you still established the Longevity Town and let many immortals live there. That's enough to clear your name. Looking back now, I was just blinded by my own involvement."
“If I were to step back and take a closer look, I would find that all the good deeds you have done are utterly insignificant and cannot be washed away in the slightest. Even if you were to kill me this time, I would not back down in the slightest.”
The Daoist Master of Qingfeng Temple was equally resolute: "Immortal Emperor, stop with the nonsense. The three of us have already disregarded life and death and will not back down in the slightest."
"Fine, fine, you three just wait."
The Immortal Emperor said coldly.
"Are you also going to follow these three down this dark path?"
His cold gaze swept over the crowd.
Everyone shut their mouths, not daring to even breathe.
After establishing his authority, the Immortal Emperor offered a reward: "If you agree to release my son, I swear here that I will let you go until you reach the sea. I guarantee this with my own Great Dao."
Dense lightning flashed across the sky.
These lightning bolts were unlike ordinary lightning; they carried an aura of antiquity.
"This is the oath made by the Immortal Emperor with his own Great Dao, saying that he would let us come from the continent to the sea."
"Everyone can rest assured this time. The Immortal Emperor has sworn an oath with his own Great Dao, and he is not so easy to break. We can rest assured."
"Let's agree. A lose-lose situation is not good for anyone."
...
This time, everyone was completely shaken.
