When I woke up, I wanted to go home.

Chapter 199 Initial Success in Cultivation

Chapter 199 Initial Success in Cultivation

In the void tens of thousands of miles away from the planet Crimson Flame, an army of less than 1.5 million remained, setting up camp there.

One after another, enormous space-traveling warships were linked together to serve as platforms for the immortal soldiers to rest in the void.

At the center of the warship stood two magnificent palaces.

One palace was enveloped in lightning, while another was shrouded in white light.

These two palaces, which have clearly been refined and can be carried around, are the temporary residences of Immortal Lord Zhen Lei and Immortal Lord Yao Shun.

Ten years have passed since the attack on Zhu Chongjiu!

One day, a painful wail suddenly came from the palace where True Thunder Immortal Lord was located, along with a retching sound!

"Who is this villain who attacked this immortal lord?"

Then appeared a Dharma image ten thousand feet in size, which instantly broke through the palace and stood in the void.

Looking at Zhen Lei Xianjun now, his right arm and half of his shoulder are missing.

The black mist emanating from the wound resembled enormous skulls, angrily tearing and gnawing at the exposed flesh.

Zhen Lei Xianjun glanced at the wound, frowned, and said angrily, "Old Man Youming, I have no grudge against you, what do you mean by this?"

As soon as Zhen Lei finished speaking, a humanoid creature made of black mist appeared out of thin air in the distance.

Once the black mist took shape, it emitted a piercing laugh.

He then addressed True Thunder Immortal Lord, saying, "We have no enmity whatsoever; I was merely entrusted with a task by my master!"

What boss? What boss? What are you entrusting me with?

Hearing the angry question from Immortal Lord Zhen Lei, the man named Old Man Youming replied with a playful tone, "What did the master entrust to me?"

Of course, he asked me to deliver your head to him!

I waited another three years before making my move, but I didn't expect you to be so alert.

But no rush, I have plenty of time.

This deal is lucrative; once I finish it, I can retire.

Hahaha, hahaha...!

As the palace of Immortal Lord Yaoshun flashed with dazzling white light, the Old Man of the Underworld, amidst his arrogant laughter, gradually faded into the void as the black mist dissipated.

Yao Shun, who arrived at lightning speed, saw Zhen Lei, who had now reverted to his original form, and asked, "Fellow Immortal, what happened?"

"I don't know either?" Zhen Lei replied, gazing in the direction where the old man of the underworld had disappeared.

"I wonder who it was that managed to hire a veteran immortal like the Netherworld Elder to assassinate me?"

We'll investigate that later. Right now, what's wrong with your injuries, fellow immortal? Yao Shun asked, glancing at Zhen Lei, who had lost an entire arm.

At this moment, Zhen Lei looked at his wound and frowned, saying, "My True Thunder power can suppress the Netherworld Elder's Netherworld Death Qi."

This is irrelevant.

However, it will take some time for the arm he severed to regenerate.

The two chatted for a few more minutes before returning to Yao Shun's palace.

Because at this moment, the palace of the True Thunder Immortal Lord had already been smashed by him when he revealed his true form.

Upon entering Yao Shun Immortal Lord's palace, Zhen Lei Immortal Lord immediately reported the matter to Zhu Rong Immortal Lord Zhu Rong Tian Guang.

Knowing about this, Zi Lei Xianjun remained silent for a moment before replying, "Ten years ago, I heard that someone was paying money to assassinate all my subordinates except for myself and Zhu Rong Xianjun."

It seems this is true.

And unexpectedly, your first target was you.

Seriously, you really need to be careful of notorious rogue immortals like the Old Man of the Underworld.

I doubt he'll let this go.

At the same time, we should also remind the people around you, Yao Shun, that we should not be careless either.

Who knows if there are other assassins waiting for their chance among you two?

The conversation between the two ended with Immortal Lord Zi Lei's admonition.

Immortal Lord Yaoshun, who was standing nearby, also heard their conversation.

At the same time, he also realized that things were starting to change, and immediately reported the matter to Immortal Lord Zhurong, while also recounting the information that Immortal Lord Zilei knew.

Upon hearing this, Immortal Lord Zhurong sighed helplessly, "This quagmire is only getting muddier as we get involved!"

The celestial lords around you are all performing their duties and are not idle for the time being. Once some time has passed and there are celestial lords available, we will immediately send them to your side as reinforcements.”

Yao Shun felt much more at ease after hearing the news of the reinforcement from Immortal Lord Zhurong.

At the same time, he told Zhen Lei to also ask for help from above, and sent a message to the Great Master Zhen, who was far away in the Divine Tree Immortal Palace, to inform him of the situation on this side.

He was also told to be extra careful and to seek help from higher authorities.

It was just a chase after a group of human generals, how did it end up like this?

With this sigh from Immortal Lord Yaoshun, five years had passed since the last assassination of Immortal Lord Zhenlei.

Nothing has happened on their side, nor has anything happened on Master Dazhen's side.

However, during these five years, at different times, the two immortals sent by Zi Lei Immortal Lord and Zhu Rong Immortal Lord to reinforce the two were ambushed and killed on their way to Crimson Flame Planet.

When True Thunder Immortal Lord was ambushed by the Netherworld Elder, the three Immortal Lords, Zhu Rong, Zi Lei, and Bao Feng, began to join forces to investigate the culprit.

However, they still haven't been able to figure it out.

The assassination of the two newly recruited Immortal Lords not only enraged Zhu Rong and Zi Lei, but also alarmed their respective Immortal Emperors.

At that time, the target was Huang Ting, the human empress.

Because only she dared to do such a thing without fear.

However, this time Empress Huang Ting did not act with the same courage and responsibility as usual!

They very directly denied it and told them to investigate as they pleased.

They even asked them to persuade the Immortal Venerable to investigate the truth and clear their name.

Empress Huang Ting's actions left the two emperors of the Zi Lei and Zhu Rong lineages completely baffled.

Thinking back to fifteen years ago, when someone asked the Ten Lands Organization to interfere with the capture of that group of humans, and considering the current situation, all the questions seem even more perplexing.

However, the assassinations did not end there.

Disciples of the Zhu Rong and Zi Lei lineages often die mysteriously while traveling.

Inside Empress Huang Ting's palace, the Empress was laughing loudly; "Truly, she is indeed cunning and shrewd. Granny Li Tian's move is truly brilliant."

In reality, it was three forces that abducted and killed my human race's geniuses, but Granny Li Tian assassinated two of them.

Even though it might be interpreted as retribution for killing a prodigy of our human race, the omission of one detail has led them to speculate wildly.

Furthermore, the fact that some unknown entity mobilized the Ten Regions Organization fifteen years ago has further complicated the matter.

When falsehood is true, truth is falsehood; when truth is falsehood, falsehood is truth!

Let them guess!

Hahaha……!"

In contrast to the turmoil outside the city, Zhu Chongjiu, inside the Crimson Flame Planet, suddenly opened his eyes!

Turning to look at Xiao Huo, who was fast asleep on the stone platform, Zhu Chongjiu reached out and patted him.

When Xiao Huo felt someone patting him in his sleep, he opened his eyes and looked at Zhu Chongjiu.

Just then, Zhu Chongjiu was seen looking at Xiao Huo, who was fast asleep.

She didn't reach out to pat him, and Xiao Huo didn't wake up.

It was as if everything that had just happened was an illusion.

Zhu Chongjiu let out a breath, but did not show much excitement. He simply said two words, "It's done!"

As soon as Zhu Chongjiu finished speaking, Xiao Huo woke up from his sleep.

Still half asleep, he looked at Zhu Chongjiu and asked, "Ninth Brother, did you call me just now?"

"No, go back to sleep!" Zhu Chongjiu replied calmly to Xiao Huo. Xiao Huo muttered, "Ah, so I was dreaming just now?" After saying that, she lay down again and fell fast asleep.

"That's really good. It took only ten years to discover the timeline within this space."

Within fifteen years, one can gain a basic understanding of some laws of time.

Much faster than I expected.

Upon hearing Zhu Zhenmei's voice, Zhu Chongjiu said smugly, "How laughable. Back when I was nobody, I spent over twenty years gaining a basic understanding of the Void Laws."

Your little law of time is nothing to brag about.

Hearing Zhu Chongjiu'er boasting, Zhu Zhenmei calmly said to him, "You do have talent, but do you know how much faster it is to 'feel, understand, and master' the laws of time in this space compared to when you are outside?"

At your current level, it would take at least three hundred years to reach your current level.

Never underestimate the laws of time within this space.

Even if a Celestial Venerable were to intervene, it's not certain that he could maintain the stable flow of time within such a vast space for millions of years, according to his own predetermined schedule.

Under normal circumstances, it would have already been assimilated by the external laws of time.

Zhu Zhenmei wanted to say something more, but she didn't utter a word. In the end, she only said, "Don't forget the path others paved for you!"
