While Jing Lingwei was threatening him, he clearly felt an extremely fierce murderous intention.
It was like an invisible giant sword hanging in front of him. If he dared to resist, it would pierce his entire body.
But he was unwilling to just retreat. After much hesitation, he still asked: "Senior, attaining enlightenment is our lifelong pursuit. Right now, that junior is our only hope. Does senior even have the courage to try?"
Are they all gone?”
"No need to try!"
Jing Lingwei said in a deep voice.
"Why is this?"
Nangong Dou was puzzled.
"The mortal world is good!"
Jing Lingwei's tone softened a little, "The mortal world is so colorful and full of warmth, why does it have to ascend?"
"The mortal world... is pretty good?"
Nangong Dou blinked, unable to believe his ears.
The pursuit of immortality is the lifelong pursuit of all top martial artists.
This is especially true for Jing Lingwei, a powerful senior who has lived for more than four hundred years.
Now that there was finally a glimmer of hope, he thought that Jing Lingwei would be more excited than anyone else.
I never thought that I would sternly refuse?
This was completely unexpected!
"If you can't live freely in this world and do what you like, what's the point of ascension and what's the point of eternal life?"
Under Nangong Dou's astonished eyes, Jing Lingwei said coldly again: "I don't ask you to understand my current thoughts, but I also hope you won't bother me again!"
"But you only have a few decades left to live!"
Nangong Dou said unwillingly: "If we don't seize the time to find an opportunity to enter the fairyland, I'm afraid..."
"roll!"
Before Nangong Dou finished speaking, Jing Lingwei said with a stern voice: "You are limited to leaving the Haoshan area within one hour, otherwise, you will have no chance to pursue any immortal way!"
"this……"
Nangong Dou tensed up and didn't dare to say anything more. He hurriedly bowed and accepted the order, "Since senior insists on doing this, I have nothing to say, so I'll take my leave!"
After that, he slowly rose into the sky and flew into the distance with lingering fear.
Although he wanted to persuade Jing Lingwei, she was stubborn and refused to give him any chance to persuade her.
Especially when Jing Lingwei said the last sentence just now, she vaguely had murderous intentions towards him.
The overwhelming feeling made him feel like he was falling into an ice cellar.
They are both at the pinnacle of the imperial level, but the difference in strength can still be described as a world of difference.
Facing Jing Lingwei, an old monster who had lived for more than four hundred years, he believed that even if his strength doubled, he would still not be his opponent.
"Boy, since Senior Jing has spoken out, you can ask for your blessings. There is nothing I can do to help you!"
When leaving, he did not forget to mutter to himself.
Since Jing Lingwei is in charge of Haoshan, she must be aware of Ye Chen's every move.
Moreover, the other party is currently dismissive of De Dao's ascension, and he definitely doesn't want to be disturbed by Ye Chen.
If Ye Chen continues to make trouble in Haoshan, once Jing Lingwei is angered, the consequences will be disastrous.
…
After leaving Zhui Ri Pavilion, Ye Chen found a deserted place and soared into the sky, flying straight towards Jiuyou Mountain where the Phantom Sect's headquarters was located.
"After so long delay, have you finally returned to this place full of a sense of belonging?"
Seeing that Jiuyou Mountain was getting closer and closer, Ye Chen had mixed feelings for a while, and his mood was extremely agitated.
No matter how many ups and downs he experienced outside and what amazing achievements he achieved, his heart ultimately belonged to this remote and small place.
Looking around, Jiuyou Mountain is rolling and undulating, as if it is deserted.
There is only one hidden road, winding and extending deep into Jiuyou Mountain.
This is the only way to enter Jiuyou Mountain.
The deepest part of the passage is the Phantom Gate headquarters.
"I wonder how many people from the Phantom Sect can recognize me now?"
Muttering to himself, he slowly landed on the avenue and walked forward on foot.
It wasn't that he wasn't eager to meet his old friends, but that he wanted to adapt to the familiar environment first.
"Swiss, swiss, swish!"
Suddenly, a commotion came from the surrounding dense forest.
Ye Chen was not surprised at all, because he had sensed it a long time ago.
Sure enough, as the commotion got closer and closer, in a moment, countless Phantom Gate assassins wearing black night clothes and skull masks on their faces flashed out of the dense forest one after another.
"Who is coming?"
"Send your name, otherwise you will be killed without mercy!"
As soon as they appeared, the two leading assassins asked warily.
"My name is Ye Chen!"
Ye Chen reported his name truthfully.
"Ye Chen?"
"Alliance leader?"
"fart!"
"The alliance leader has gone to the Southern Region a long time ago, how could he be here?"
"You are so brave, you dare to pretend to be the leader of the alliance?"
A group of assassins shouted and yelled at each other.
"You don't believe it?"
Ye Chen couldn't laugh or cry, "I am Ye Chen, and it's true that I did go to the Southern Region before, but now I'm back!"
A few years ago, he had become the master of the Phantom Gate.
Later, he forcefully captured the five major forces in Haoshan and forced them to form the Haoshan Alliance, and he himself ascended to the throne of the alliance leader.
Unfortunately, he did not stay in Haoshan for long before he went to the Southern Region.
So much so that many Phantom Gate assassins don't recognize him.
"Why should we trust you?"
An assassin said coldly.
"Proof?"
Ye Chen pondered for a moment, and then an idea came to him, "Yes, let's watch!"
Immediately, his figure swayed.
"Swish, swish, swish!"
The afterimage is blurry and dazzling.
In the horrified eyes of the assassins, Ye Chen turned into a hundred with one, splitting into countless clones in an instant, and each Ye Chen was exactly the same!
It's just that the location and actions are different.
And each clone looks extremely real, making it impossible to tell the difference between real and fake.
"Is this...one thought and hundreds of bodies?"
"Yes, it is one of the highest secret skills in the Phantom Book: One Thought and Hundreds of Body!"
"Only the sect master can succeed in cultivation!"
"It seems that he is indeed our sect leader, and he is back!"
It wasn't until Ye Chen used the supreme secret skill of Phantom Gate that the assassins finally believed him.
The next moment, all the assassins knelt on the ground to greet Ye Chen.
"Everyone get up!"
Ye Chen waved his hand to the assassins to get up, and then continued walking forward along the avenue.
It didn't take long before we entered the depths of Jiuyou Mountain.
It is a natural arched gate built against the mountain. This is the entrance to the Phantom Gate headquarters.
"The sect master, it's the sect master, he's back!"
"Great, go and report it to the sect master's wife and Miss Ye!"
With the arrival of Ye Chen, the Phantom Gate assassins who recognized him burst into cheers and were extremely excited.
It is true that few of the assassins outside knew Ye Chen, but the higher-ups at the headquarters were naturally very familiar with Ye Chen.
"No need to notify me, I can just go in by myself!"
After waving his hand to reject everyone's enthusiasm, Ye Chen walked towards the depths of the Phantom Gate headquarters.
After passing through the gates, it didn't take long for him to arrive at a deep palace.
This palace is in a semi-open-air style. The first half is built in a valley, and there is a formation above. Even if someone flies over, they cannot see everything here clearly.
The second half of the palace is retracted into the mountain and looks impregnable.
At the front of the palace, there stand two huge stone pillars, with various lifelike patterns carved on them.
On the top of the stone pillar hangs a plaque with three powerful characters engraved on it.
