After returning on the first day of the Lunar New Year, he only claimed that the immortal master of his sect fought against the carefree immortal to a draw, and even injured Zhou Zhenhuan.
But he didn't say anything, only that Zhou Zhen's finger was bleeding.
It didn't even mention that Li Bai was actually seriously injured.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, a wise person naturally knows what words can boost morale and what words can dampen it.
Li Bai tacitly acknowledged this.
“Immortal…Immortal Master, I, Xiao Yu, have long admired your great name and have long held you in high esteem.”
"Your Excellency is truly awe-inspiring; with you here, my position is secure."
Li Taibai glanced at him, snorted coldly, but ignored him. Instead, he looked at the first day of the Lunar New Year and the disciples of Baiyujing who were currently in the Crimson King's Mansion.
"The elders are very dissatisfied with you."
After so long, even a pig should be pushed into that position.
And you, having wasted so many resources, now tell me that there is actually a force in Tianqi City that can rival you!
So, how do you expect me to explain this to my superiors?
How can I take you up to enjoy bliss?
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yu was filled with rage, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes.
Although these words were directed at a few people on the first day of the Lunar New Year, Xiao Yu understood that they were clearly insulting him, saying he was worse than a pig.
However, since we still need to rely on this person's strength, we can only endure it for the time being.
Just you wait, once I ascend to that throne, I'll make you pay sooner or later.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, a few people were filled with fear and trepidation, kneeling on the ground and not daring to utter a word.
"Well, Immortal Master, those few people on the first day of the Lunar New Year were very reliable. I have always trusted them."
They've done a great job. My two older brothers both have very powerful forces supporting them.
Especially the Prince of Yong'an, who had Zhou Zhenhuan standing behind him.
This person has always looked down on me, but unfortunately, he is too powerful.
Of course, now that the immortal has descended to the mortal realm, that damned Zhou Zhen is no match for the immortal's divine might.
"Please, Immortal Master, show mercy and forgive them."
Xiao Yu felt that what he said was perfectly reasonable. At this time, saying a few nice words and exonerating them was clearly a good opportunity to win people's hearts.
As expected, after hearing these words, those people all gave Xiao Yu a grateful smile.
After all, their mission was to support this person's rise to power.
With Xiao Yu speaking up, affirming the success of their mission, it was naturally excellent.
Li Taibai glanced at Xiao Yu, and for some reason, Xiao Yu felt that the immortal's gaze was filled with a sharp, piercing feeling.
When someone wants to kill another, their eyes can't hide it, which made Xiao Yu a little scared, wondering how he had offended this person.
"Immortal Master, please forgive us. It is not that we have failed to act, but that Zhou Zhen is simply too powerful and always gets in our way."
We implore you, Immortal Master, to give us a chance to atone for our sins.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, he quickly offered his explanation, following Xiao Yu's lead.
Li Taibai's expression softened considerably: "Fine, I'll make a note of this for you this time, and we'll see how you perform in the future."
Admittedly, Zhou is indeed a formidable opponent, and with your strength, you certainly pose no threat to him.
"Get up, all of you."
Upon hearing this, the atmosphere instantly eased considerably. On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the group exchanged glances and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thank you for your mercy, Immortal Master."
"Alright, keep one person who can speak for them, everyone else can leave."
Everyone else withdrew, leaving only the Red King and the first day of the Lunar New Year.
Li Taibai gave the Crimson King a strange look: "Boy, do you take my words as mere background noise?"
"Ah? How dare I, Immortal Master, I'm just afraid..."
"Enough, I don't want to hear your nonsense, get out."
"This concerns the secrets of my Baiyujing Palace. Do you really want to hear about it?"
Xiao Yu repeatedly said he dared not, but as he retreated, the resentment in his eyes was almost overflowing.
Power! We must master immense power.
Zhou Zhenhuan treated him as nothing, and the people of Baiyujing were outwardly respectful but secretly treated him as a puppet.
The same applies to some so-called immortal being today.
You all just wait and see. Sooner or later, I will make every one of you look up to me!
Li Bai was unaware that a seed had already been planted in the heart of the Red King.
Of course, even if I knew, I wouldn't care.
All he cared about were those ascension tokens.
With only Lunar New Year's Day left, Li Bai seemed to have given up pretending. The color drained from his face instantly, leaving it deathly pale.
Upon seeing this on the first day of the Lunar New Year, she rushed forward and helped him up with some concern.
"Immortal Master, your body..."
"It's alright! You're quite good. I'll put in a good word for you with the elders and we'll accept you as our true disciple."
Once you return to heaven, you will surely receive special cultivation. Becoming an immortal will be a piece of cake for you.
Upon hearing this on the first day of the Lunar New Year, he was overjoyed: "Thank you for your guidance, Immortal Master."
"There's no need for that; you deserve it."
The higher-ups are getting impatient, and I've come down here to expedite this process.
How many Ascension Tokens do you still have?
With my current injuries, I'm afraid I can't stop that guy surnamed Zhou.
I need to clear the passage and then bring over a few more senior disciples.
Upon hearing this on the first day of the Lunar New Year, he had no further doubts and honestly replied, "The Ascension Token is too precious. Currently, there are only three left in the sect."
Li Bai was shocked. Three pieces? There were actually three more? Fortunately, I am a step ahead in chess. This whole performance was worthwhile.
"It's just that each time you use the Ascension Token, it consumes a lot of resources. Of course, with the Immortal Master here now, it shouldn't be a problem." On the first day of the Lunar New Year, he flattered her with a beaming smile.
Chapter 206 After I Die, There Will Be Thousands and Thousands of Luo Qingyangs
Li Bai was very satisfied with the good behavior on the first day of the Lunar New Year.
"You are very good. With your qualifications, you will be given special attention and training even if you go to higher-ups."
Okay, I'm tired today and need to rest.
Please arrange to send the Ascension Order as soon as possible.
Once I summon my fellow disciples, I will be able to unify the land.
This world of martial arts is truly boring.
You don't want to waste your time here, do you?
Furthermore, I can give you a heads-up: I'm taking you with me to heaven. As for the others...
I, Baiyujing, do not keep useless people.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, seeing Li Taibai's meaningful gaze, he was overjoyed, and the fervor in his eyes was almost impossible to hide.
His voice trembled slightly as he spoke.
"Junior understands."
"Go down."
"Yes, Immortal Master, please rest well. If you need anything, please feel free to ask me."
With an excited heart and trembling hands, I floated out on the first day of the Lunar New Year, carrying with me the beautiful dream of becoming an immortal.
I felt lightheaded all over, never expecting that I would be so highly regarded by the immortal.
"Master, how is it? Did that immortal master give any instructions?"
When the other disciples of the First Month Pavilion saw him appear on the first day of the Lunar New Year, they quickly surrounded him.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, his expression immediately changed, and he deliberately put on a solemn look.
"Ahem... Well... The Immortal Master is very dissatisfied with our recent progress."
To avoid any unforeseen complications, the Immortal Master ordered us to quickly present the Ascension Decree, so that he could open the passage to heaven and welcome more immortals to descend to the mortal realm.
When the time comes, I, Bai Yujing, will surely be able to unify the world.
The immortal also said that if we handled things well, he would recommend us for credit and take us to heaven.
Upon hearing this, the others immediately became excited as well.
What were they doing all for? Wasn't it all for that elusive path to immortality?
Now that a ready-made opportunity has presented itself, they naturally want to seize it.
"OP, what should we do?"
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, he snorted coldly: "Does this need to be taught? We have one Ascension Token now. Originally, the Three Moon Pavilion also had one, but the one that the Three Moon Pavilion had was destroyed by that damned Zhou Zhen when we were in Dong Sang."
If I remember correctly, the other two pieces are in the hands of the owners of the August Pavilion and the November Pavilion.
At this point, Lunar New Year's Day lowered his voice.
"The immortal master revealed to me that the number of places for ascension is limited, and the number of people who can be brought up is also limited."
Do you know what to do next?
The twelve towers of Baiyujing are not under each other's jurisdiction. Even if you want to obtain the other Ascension Tokens on the first day of the Lunar New Year, you will still have to put in a lot of effort.
"What the poster means is, we're going to..." Someone made a grabbing motion.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, his expression grew colder: "On the path to immortality, everyone else is an obstacle. If we fail to accomplish this, and if they find out, they will also attack us."
Now that the immortal has placed great trust in me, this is our opportunity.
Before the other buildings receive this news, we must act first.
I'm going to post an invitation to the second-floor poster to attend a banquet, ostensibly to receive teachings from an immortal master.
"The signal to smash the cup will be the moment. Whether you can become an immortal depends on this one act. Do you all understand?"
The others all wore cruel expressions: "Understood! Rest assured, Master, the spot for becoming an immortal will definitely go to our Zhengyue Tower."
"Very good, go and prepare!"
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, after everyone had left, some felt quite smug.
"Hmph, those old bastards, once I become an immortal, I will definitely cut you into a thousand pieces."
Bai Yujing, a figure in the martial arts world, claims to be a descendant of immortals and a member of the orthodox immortal sect, but the things he does behind the scenes have nothing to do with justice.
On the first day of the first lunar month, she was a respectable woman, but she was kidnapped by a perverted elder of Baiyujing when she was fifteen years old, and from then on she lived an inhuman life.
On one hand, they had to serve that old geezer, and on the other hand, they had to compete with the disciples in the sect for resources.
She was indeed exceptionally talented and quickly became the owner of the Zhengyue Tower.
She knew that kindness was merely the compassion of the strong.
The weak are merely cattle and sheep being herded, fish and meat on the chopping board.
She had killed many people and done many bad things, but she felt that if she hadn't had those experiences back then, she would be a good wife and mother by now.
You look like you have something on your mind.
Just then, Xiao Yu suddenly pulled her into his arms from behind, his hands wandering aimlessly up and down her body.
