Xiao Wenbing counted on his fingers, and after a long pause, said, "About ten years, I've forgotten."
Apart from Zhang, Feng, and the Butterfly Fairy, the other immortals were all speechless and dumbfounded.
Ten years of cultivating immortality? I don't know if Xiao Wenbing misspoke, or if they misheard.
Satisfied with the shocked expression on Chicken Fairy's face, Xiao Wenbing asked with a smile, "What's wrong? Is it too long?"
"Long...?" The Rooster Immortal truly didn't know how to communicate with the man in front of him. He was a rooster who had become an immortal, and his cultivation time was naturally longer than that of ordinary humans. From gaining wisdom to becoming an immortal, he had cultivated diligently for a total of more than three thousand years. If ten years is considered long, then what is three thousand years?
In fact, everyone knew Xiao Wenbing's background and that he was a cultivation prodigy. But even on Earth, most people couldn't believe that a superhuman who ascended to immortality in ten years had emerged from the Secret Talisman Sect, let alone these outsiders.
"Brother Chicken, our goal is Huangzhou City."
"What?"
"I want to establish a foothold in Huangzhou City and expand my influence and strength as much as possible in the short term." Xiao Wenbing looked up at the sky, as if talking to himself, "I want to see if those earthly immortals from hundreds of thousands of years ago will still dare to cause me trouble when we have an army of millions of immortals."
"million……"
Chicken Fairy blinked his small eyes, as if he saw countless stars dancing in the sky. His only thought was that he might still be dreaming.
Volume 7, Chapter 21: Pigsy
------------------------
Xiao Wenbing has never been very bold, so she is used to planning ahead. Since she saved Yan Jie and the Mirror God carelessly revealed his aura, she is destined to become an enemy of those immortals.
Since this fact cannot be changed, he must do his best to expand his power and strive to have more leverage when the real battle begins.
The differences in cultivation levels among immortals are vast; a single immortal at the avatar level is enough to rival dozens at the fusion level. As for high-level immortals, they are even more beyond their reach.
However, in Xiao Wenbing's view, a human wave tactic was his only option at this moment. Moreover, his goal was not just a million Nascent Soul Immortals. However, the Chicken Immortal's capacity to withstand attacks was clearly very limited, and it was currently in a state of shutdown. Therefore, the more ambitious plan should not be revealed for the time being; otherwise, who knows what these immortals would think.
Xiao Wenbing suddenly frowned and said, "Brother Chicken, they came so fast..."
The next moment, an overwhelming and intense pressure emanated from afar, a power that transcended the cultivation realm. After Mu Xuanling and the others failed, the Xuanji Sect finally realized something was wrong and dispatched its true experts.
"rustle……"
A gentle breeze blew by, a few fallen leaves drifted up, and a chilling, sharp killing intent filled the air.
If Xiao Wenbing and the others had not yet survived the Heavenly Tribulation, or if they had survived the tribulation through ordinary means and had not yet reached the Integration Realm, they would already be terrified and unable to continue.
However, the Great Tribulation of Ten Thousand People Created a Great Miracle in the History of Cultivation. After successfully undergoing the tribulation, most of them cultivated to the Integration Realm within a little over a year. Although they were still a bit weaker than those who came to cause trouble, their sheer pressure was enough to overwhelm Xiao Wenbing and the others.
Gently, a white ball of light appeared in the arena. After the light dissipated, a young man with hawk-like eyes and a high nose appeared in the arena.
His sharp, piercing eyes swept across the surroundings. He wasn't surprised at all that the two people before him weren't afraid of his oppressive aura. If his opponents didn't possess the cultivation level of immortals, how could they have deceived everyone and secretly ambushed two top-tier Tribulation Transcending experts?
"I am Zi Liao of the Xuanji Sect. May I ask who you two are...?"
Xiao Wenbing stood up from his chair, performed the proper courtesies, and said, "This junior is Xiao Wenbing, and this gentleman is called Chicken Immortal."
Chicken Immortal gave a wry smile. He originally had his own name, but now that Xiao Wenbing had introduced him, he would have no choice but to continue using the name Chicken Immortal.
"Very well, may I ask where you two fellow immortals come from?"
"The lower realm."
"The... lower realm?" Zi Liao looked at them suspiciously. Recognizing their Nascent Soul stage, he still thought they were immortals who had ascended a thousand years ago.
"Indeed, we are new here, and we hope you will take good care of us."
"We dare not." Zi Liao's gaze shifted to Mu Ling and his son, and he said, "Our Xuanji Sect has always been law-abiding and unwilling to be enemies with ascended immortals. May I ask why you two have captured our sect leader?"
Xiao Wenbing smiled slightly, flicked his finger, and Mu Xuanli groaned as he slowly awoke. He immediately saw Zi Liao and exclaimed with delight, "Grandmaster, you've arrived!"
Zi Liao nodded slightly, unable to understand Xiao Wenbing's intention in doing so.
Xiao Wenbing pointed at Mu Xuanli and said calmly, "In Huangzhou City, this Brother Mu has been spouting nonsense, wanting to take the Chicken Immortal as his servant. What do you think, sir, should do to settle this matter?"
Zi Liao was taken aback. Taking the Chicken Immortal as a servant? His eyes widened instantly. So this kid was the one who caused the trouble… He turned his head and asked fiercely, “Xuan Li, did you say such a thing?”
Seeing that Zi Liao's expression and tone were off, even Mu Xuanli, who was usually a coward, knew that things were serious. But he didn't have the guts to deceive the patriarch. So he could only lower his head meekly. Seeing this, Zi Liao sighed deeply. No need to ask anymore!
"This was indeed our mistake, and we ask for your forgiveness," Zi Liao stepped forward, bowed deeply to them, and said.
“Very well, since you have already apologized, let’s let this matter rest. Please go back.” Xiao Wenbing said casually.
Zi Liao was greatly surprised. He never expected that Xiao Wenbing would so easily drop the matter.
"In that case, we thank you." A figure flickered in the space, and another person emerged.
This person has thick eyebrows and big eyes, and seems to be a kind-hearted person without any guile, but his eyes are sharp and reveal great wisdom.
“Senior brother, you…” Zi Liao glanced at the other person with displeasure.
The man shook his head at Zi Liao and said, "Junior brother, it wasn't that I jumped out on my own; I was discovered."
"Ah!" Zi Liao finally understood. It seemed that Xiao Wenbing had seen that there were two immortals on his side and knew that he was no match for them, so he took the opportunity to step down.
"This senior is..."
"I am Yu Hui." After introducing himself, Yu Hui turned around abruptly, flicked his wrist, and released a beam of black light.
The black light grew rapidly in the wind, instantly transforming into a millstone-sized piece of land.
The magical artifact extended to the left, while a furious shout rang out: "Come out!"
Suddenly, a white light shone in the void, and a nearly transparent shield-shaped light barrier completely blocked the black mist. Then, a figure slowly walked out of the void.
Zi Liao was secretly alarmed, realizing he had been careless and that there were other people hiding nearby. Judging from the fact that this person could conceal their presence right under his nose, their cultivation level must be at least at the Immortal level.
The man who emerged was obese, with a large head, thick ears, a prominent nose, and a white belly that was exposed, making him look indescribably comical. However, what caught Yu Hui and his companion's attention the most was not his appearance, but the strange weapon on his back.
This is a nine-toothed rake made of some unknown material. The rake is dark and shiny, and each tooth tip is engraved with a strange rune, as if surrounded by clouds and mist, giving it a solemn and imposing appearance.
Before him, a small, round shield spun incessantly; this inconspicuous thing blocked the afterglow's magic weapon, rendering it useless.
Xiao Wenbing chuckled inwardly. He naturally knew why Yu Hui had taken the initiative to show himself, and also managed to force out that pig spirit.
Yu Hui was also hidden in the shadows, acting as an ambush soldier to cover Zi Liao's retreat. But it's unclear whether it was his bad luck or Pig Immortal's just bad fortune.
In short, when Yu Hui was sneaking around, he unintentionally arrived at the place where the Pig Immortal had laid an ambush. The two places were too close, and even if he wanted to pretend not to know, it would be impossible, so he pretended to be generous and jumped out.
Yu Hui and Zi Liao exchanged a glance and nodded in unison. To be honest, they had cultivated to the Integration Realm for nearly ten thousand years, and even against Xiao Wenbing and the other two newly promoted immortals who had just reached the Integration Realm, they had more victories than defeats. But for some reason, after seeing the nine-toothed nail in the pig immortal's hand, their confidence in victory was greatly diminished.
This celestial artifact exerted immense pressure on them; although they hadn't yet clashed, they were already feeling fear.
This is understandable; Xiao Wenbing racked his brains to create this Nine-Toothed Rake, combining the best materials with the most powerful formation. After all, for Chinese people who have read Journey to the West, they will never forget the chubby-bellied Pigsy.
Therefore, when Xiao Wenbing accidentally discovered the Earth Pig Immortal among tens of thousands of immortals, whose appearance and temperament matched those in his memory, he devoted himself to creating a super immortal artifact for him that was no less powerful than the genuine Xuanwu Shield.
Even Quini and Shabir didn't receive this kind of treatment.
This object is indeed the most powerful among tens of thousands of immortal artifacts in terms of attack power. It is no exaggeration for Yu Hui and his companion to be so wary of it.
With a smile on his face, Yu Hui stepped forward and patted Mu Ling and Hua Yi on the head, instantly waking them up.
"Fellow Daoist Xiao, since this is a misunderstanding between us, shall we reconcile now?"
"That's natural."
"Very well, thank you for your generosity, Fellow Daoist Xiao. We'll take our leave now."
"Alright, best of luck to you two, don't bother seeing me off."
After walking a few steps with Mu Ling and the others, Mu Xuanli suddenly stopped and ran back.
Zi Liao was startled. He reached out and grabbed him, hissing, "Aren't you crazy enough? Go back!"
Mu Xuanli smiled bitterly and said, "Grandmaster, it's not that I don't want to go back..."
"What?"
"I don't know what's wrong either, my legs just won't obey me..."
Yu Hui used his divine sense to carefully scan Mu Xuanli's body, and his expression immediately turned extremely ugly.
He raised his eyes, staring intently at Xiao Wenbing, and said, "Fellow Daoist Xiao, what is the meaning of your forcibly taking my disciples as servants?"
"What do you mean?" Xiao Wenbing sneered disdainfully, "Haven't you heard of an eye for an eye?"
Yu Hui's eyes flashed with a sharp light as he said in a deep voice, "Our sect does not wish to make enemies with ascended immortals, but it is by no means out of fear of you all. Fellow Immortal Xiao, you should dissolve the contract so that we can all part ways amicably."
Mu Xuanling and Hua Yi, who had just woken up, realized that Mu Xuanli had become someone else's servant, which explained his strange behavior.
"What if I, Xiao, disagree?"
Yu Hui's face grew increasingly grim as he slowly said, "Then, we will kill you all on the spot."
"Just because..." Xiao Wenbing ran his finger across their bodies, mockingly saying, "You two?"
"The two of us are enough."
"Really?" Xiao Wenbing suddenly clapped his hands and laughed, "Guys, come out and show yourselves, stop hiding yourselves."
A ripple appeared in the void, and three figures flashed around Xiao Wenbing. The five great demon immortals who had come on orders finally gathered together under Xiao Wenbing's command.
Volume 18, Chapter 1: Battle
------------------------
A gentle breeze swept across the silent scene, then suddenly the wind picked up, stirring up the entire...
Dust from the sky.
The north wind was howling loudly...
Yu Hui and the others felt a chill run down their spines from the sudden, strange wind.
No matter how well they prepared beforehand, they never expected that there would be as many as six immortals to greet them.
