"How is it possible? Have you already entered the fourth level of the Immortal Emperor?"
Cang Cheng stared in disbelief at Huo Qijue who could easily decipher his sword moves, feeling horrified in his heart.
Although he has remained at the third level of Immortal Emperor for thousands of years, his strength has actually improved a lot, so he is very satisfied with his progress.
He originally thought that Huo Qijue was at best like him.
If the two of them fight, it will still be a tie, at least there will be no way to tell the winner in a short time.
However, the reality was beyond expectation.
Huo Qijue actually broke through the third-level bottleneck and entered the fourth-level Immortal Emperor!
"Is it an accident?" Huo Qijue said with a sarcastic smile, "Cang Cheng, you have wasted your cultivation, but you have evil intentions and are trapped by worldly greed. You recruited Qin Shihai, raised evil swords, and tried to take a shortcut to break through to the third-level Immortal Emperor.
But as everyone knows, it is precisely because of this that your progress is slow. If you could be as focused as me, you might have already broken through to the fourth-level Immortal Emperor!"
Hearing this, Cang Cheng looked uncertain.
Did you really do something wrong?
Is the best shortcut to practice step by step according to the original method?
"Sir, don't be fooled by him!" Pei Yinglong shouted, "He has ulterior motives and is definitely misleading you!"
"ignorance!"
Huo Qijue snorted coldly, waved his hand and struck Pei Yinglong with a killing sound, as if to make this annoying fly disappear completely.
"presumptuous!"
Suddenly, an angry sound came from within Tianluo Hall.
Immediately afterwards, a large transformed palm fell out of the air, easily blocking the sound of the piano killing, and the terrifying air pressure went straight towards Huo Qijue.
"Master!"
Huo Qijue looked stern, knowing that the real strong man from Tianluo Palace had come forward.
Tianluo Palace has been passed down for hundreds of thousands of years. Pei Yinglong and Cang Cheng are only powerful Immortal Emperors on the surface. No one knows how terrifying the power hidden inside is, and no one can explore it.
According to Huo Qijue's estimation, the owner of this big palm has at least reached the level of a fifth-level Immortal Emperor, which is far beyond what he can compete with.
"Mission accomplished, retreat!"
Huo Qijue made a quick decision, yanked the strings with his right hand, and a majestic sword energy shot out. He himself quickly retreated and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"Little tricks!"
The strong man in the dark was disdainful, and pressed his big palm down again, easily crushing the sword energy controlled by Qin Yin.
"Actually escaped?" Cang Cheng looked at the empty spot where Huo Qijue stood before, and felt doubtful in his heart.
"Do you want to chase me?" Pei Yinglong asked.
"What are you chasing? Can you beat me?" The strong man in the dark said coldly.
"This..." Pei Yinglong was ashamed and kept silent.
It was Cang Cheng who spoke up and said: "Huo Qijue seems to have surrendered to the Meteor Star Sect and will become a serious nuisance to Tianluo Palace sooner or later. He should be eliminated as soon as possible!"
"If you have the ability, feel free to act on your own. The old palace master is at the last moment in retreat to attack the seventh level of the Immortal Emperor. We have to protect him and don't have much energy!"
"Seventh level?"
Hearing this, Cang Cheng was shocked.
As long as the old palace master reaches the seventh level of Immortal Emperor, Beiqiong Immortal Domain will no longer have any rivals. When the time comes, Tianluo Palace will dominate the world, and hegemony will be just around the corner.
Comparatively speaking, the small Huo Qijue is really not worth the effort.
At this time, a figure flew out of the hall.
"Palace Master Pei, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first and say goodbye!"
Yan Qingcheng said goodbye in a hurry, and then disappeared at the end of the sky.
Pei Yinglong and Cang Cheng didn't think much about it and began to order people to sort out their affairs and repair the roof that was cut off by Huo Qijue.
…
Huo Qijue returned all the way, preparing to go to the Meteor Star Sect to find Xiao Chen.
"Senior, stay!"
Yan Qingcheng chased after him from behind and was in front of him in the blink of an eye.
Huo Qijue was wary at first, then stared at Yan Qingcheng strangely and asked, "Who are you? You shouldn't be from Tianluo Palace, right?"
"Junior Yan Qingcheng is from the Ice Phoenix Palace!" Yan Qingcheng looked at Huo Qijue and said in a nervous tone.
"Ice Phoenix Palace?" Huo Qijue was even more confused, "I have nothing to do with Ice Phoenix Palace, why are you looking for me?"
With his level of cultivation, how could he not see that Yan Qingcheng only has the strength of an Immortal King, not even a Quasi-Emperor?
Although he didn't fly at all his strength, it was really incredible that Yan Qingcheng could catch up with her so quickly.
"Senior, don't be surprised. I'm just looking for you to verify something!" Yan Qingcheng said.
"What's the matter?" Huo Qijue asked.
"Senior, do you know about the Earth Jade Xiao Clan?"
As Yan Qingcheng spoke, she looked directly at Huo Qijue, the expectation in which was self-evident.
However, to her disappointment, Huo Qijue shook his head and said: "I have never heard of the Earth Jade Xiao Clan, you have found the wrong person!"
Not interested in getting entangled with a little girl, Huo Qijue turned around and left, disappearing in front of Yan Qingcheng in the blink of an eye.
"Did I think wrong?"
Yan Qingcheng stood there for a long time, feeling lost.
Huo Qijue's answer was very straightforward, without any hesitation. It didn't look like he was lying, and there was no need to lie.
Then he is not the person he is looking for!
…
Returning to the Meteor Star Sect, Xiao Chen threw Baqi into the inner space again.
Baqi behaved this time and vowed that he would never come out again until he regained his full strength.
However, Xiao Chen felt that even if Baqi regained his full strength, he would probably only be equivalent to an Immortal King.
If Baqi wants to improve his strength, he must find another way and awaken his true talent.
His intuition told him that Baqi had an extraordinary origin and had great potential hidden in his body, but it had not been tapped.
"Counting the time, he should be back!" Xiao Chen looked at the sky and muttered to himself.
Next to her, Nangong Yanran heard this and knew that Xiao Chen was talking about Huo Qijue, so she asked: "Master, what did you ask that Qijue Qin Emperor to do?"
"I asked him to attack Tianluo Palace!" Xiao Chen said.
"Ah?" Nangong Yanran asked in shock, "Why do you do this?"
"It's just a whim, and I want to test whether he really keeps his word!" Xiao Chen said casually.
Just as he was talking, he suddenly saw a figure flying from the sky.
As if sensing Xiao Chen's deliberate aura, the figure fell directly into the yard and walked towards Xiao Chen.
If it’s not Huo Qijue, who is it?
"How?" Xiao Chen asked.
"I did what you said, and I also met an old friend by the way!" Huo Qijue said, "I didn't retreat until a strong man from the fifth level of the Immortal Emperor took action!"
"They didn't chase you?" Xiao Chen asked again.
"No!" Huo Qijue shook his head.
"Well, I understand!" Xiao Chen nodded, seeming to be thinking about something.
"When I came back, a woman caught up with me and asked some strange questions. But she had nothing to do with Tianluo Palace, but was from Ice Phoenix Palace!" Huo Qijue mentioned.
Xiao Chen was startled when he heard this and asked, "Is her name Yan Qingcheng?"
"Yes!" Huo Qijue said in surprise, "Do you know her?"
Xiao Chen didn't answer, but he felt a little funny in his heart.
Yan Qingcheng probably knew of his existence through some channels, but this time something went wrong and Yan Qingcheng mistakenly thought that Huo Qijue was him.
