Xi Longtian gazed condescendingly at the two immortal monarchs rushing toward their deaths. He had to commend their courage to face the pressure he exuded. Despite only being in the Seamless Immortal Realm, his power exceeded that of immortal monarchs. Not even peak immortal monarchs could stay calm under his pressure.
Yet, the two juniors were resisting his pressure admirably.
Still, his appreciation was only that. He would not be merciful to his enemies. Especially if they come from the Buzhou Immortal Sect.
Even he had to admit that the Buzhou Immortal Sect was a hard nut to crack. Even when he was incognito inside, he couldn’t learn anything that was too important. Originally, he could act wantonly due to his identity as the grand elder’s son. But thousands of years ago, she suddenly vanished without a trace. Without Empress Xi’s protection, he became more and more of an eyesore, and the people who had enmity with him couldn’t sit still any longer.
Since that was the case, he planned to make a splash before leaving. Especially that annoying Redseal.
Xi Longtian first visited Lovespot and killed him. Although the boy wasn’t exactly a clone, he could still absorb the latter as nutrients thanks to the unique nature of his conception. The latter’s death naturally aroused Redseal’s killing intent.
When the elder rushed to him, Xi Longtian unleashed his strongest attack, nearly killing the elder instantaneously. It surprised him a bit, and made him marvel at the Buzhou Immortal Sect’s foundation, but that didn’t prevent him from finishing off the injured elder.
He knew that he was on a time limit the moment he killed Lovespot, so after killing Redseal, he wanted to destroy as much as possible before fleeing, but he never expected to be stopped. He had never taken the sect master of the Buzhou Immortal Sect seriously, but he never expected the latter to have mastered five worldly laws.
Sect Master Xia could fight him on even ground, but neither opponent could kill the other in a short amount of time. Knowing that he was in limited time, Xi Longtian fled before long. If Sect Master Xia activated the formation and boosted his own powers, he would likely be suppressed if not killed. That’s not mentioning the other immortal elders, especially Empress Voidink.
After that point, the Buzhou Immortal Sect chased after him, but Xi Longtian repelled and even killed his pursuers. After a while, the Buzhou Immortal Sect gave up and posted a bounty on his head. The bounty couldn’t kill him, only disgust him with all the incessant flies buzzing around him.
Although it puzzled him why Empress Voidink didn’t also attempt to kill him, it gave him some guesses as to what happened to the Buzhou Immortal Sect’s immortal emperors. He wasn’t the only one as the Anti-Heaven Alliance started to pressure the hegemonic force.
With his old enemy no longer able to do anything to him, Xi Longtian appeared in the Xi Dynasty, which he had secretly controlled years ago. The Xi Dynasty became a forbidden zone with no trace of members of the Buzhou Immortal Sect. Of course, spies were inevitable. No matter how many he uprooted and killed, they would never disappear, a cancer.
Originally, Xi Longtian thought that he would not see another member of the Buzhou Immortal Sect until after the Anti-Heaven Alliance started a war against the hegemonic force.
Xi Longtian wasn’t blind. Although he had no definite proof, the Buzhou Immortal Court had definitely weakened.
The first sign was the disappearance of his body’s mother, Empress Xi. The Buzhou Immortal Sect did its best to hide the news, but as the youngest and most talented immortal empress, other forces would always pay attention. They noticed something was wrong when she didn’t show herself after a long time. Although immortal emperors often cultivated in seclusion for decades, if not centuries. Empress Xi was young and had not adjusted to the long life of an immortal, so she appeared more frequently than the Buzhou Immortal Sect’s two other immortal emperors.
Eventually, a hostile force probed the Buzhou Immortal Sect and discovered that not only was Empress Xi missing, but so was Empress Voidink. This ignited the Anti-Heaven Alliance’s ambition and the Eight Pillar Sect’s hostility. This was when the Buzhou Immortal Sect was at its weakest. Even if they couldn’t destroy it, they could force the sect to plummet in power for the foreseeable future.
It was not like the Buzhou Immortal Sect had not done the same thing to the Eight Pillar Sect before.
While others salivated at what they could do because of the two sudden disappearance of the two missing empresses, Xi Longtian had a different consideration. He wasn’t joyful like the other forces. As a former half-step immortal sovereign, he knew the existence of alternate selves, and by extension, timelines.
Although it wasn’t always the prime timeline version that always absorbed the alternate timeline versions of themselves, it was undeniable that the prime timeline version held the upper hand. Because two immortal empresses suddenly disappeared without warning, Xi Longtian couldn’t help but be suspicious.
