Rebirth of the Supreme Immortal Emperor-Chapter 423 - 420: Visitors! [Midnight Update]

"Wow, what a big kitty!"

Ye Chuxue’s sparkling eyes filled with surprise when she saw the Divine Tiger that Li Chen brought back.

The Divine Tiger gave Ye Chuxue a disdainful look, ignoring her. It seemed to say, you figure out what that look means.

"Quack, quack!"

Upon seeing the Divine Tiger, the Jade Golden Toad, feeling overshadowed, protested by jumping three feet high as if saying: Little master, don’t forget to share the love!

However, the Divine Tiger bared its teeth, and it quickly minded its own business and went to call its big brother, Jiao Long.

But Jiao Long totally ignored it, just lifted its eyelids and continued to laze under the grapevine, basking in the sun.

Ye Chuxue teased the Divine Tiger, and when she saw Li Chen setting two teacups on the table, her face was full of curiosity.

"I don’t even drink tea, why are you setting up so many cups?"

Li Chen smiled slightly and said, "We have a guest coming!"

Ye Chuxue blinked, curiously asking, "A guest? Who?"

Li Chen’s eyes sparkled as he said, "She’s here!"

"Jade Golden Toad, go out and greet her!"

"Quack, quack!" The Jade Golden Toad quacked twice and hopped out to greet the guest.

About five minutes later, it hopped back in.

Behind it followed a woman: Vermilion Bird!

Vermilion Bird greeted Li Chen with a bow, but she didn’t explain her purpose and glanced at Ye Chuxue from the corner of her eye.

Ye Chuxue, a very clever girl, smiled gracefully: "I haven’t finished my homework yet, I’ll go do that first, you guys talk!"

Li Chen yelled at Ye Chuxue, "Chuxue, write my part of the homework too!"

"Dream on, write it yourself!" Ye Chuxue rolled her eyes at him and went back to her room.

Vermilion Bird was quite astonished hearing the conversation between Li Chen and Ye Chuxue.

"You still have homework to do?"

Li Chen shrugged, saying, "Of course, I’m a student, I naturally have homework!"

Vermilion Bird was dumbfounded: "A student?"

Li Chen took out his student ID and slapped it on the table: "If you don’t believe me, see for yourself!"

Vermilion Bird was embarrassed, who would have thought, the world-shaking Immortal Master Li, was actually a high school student, quite a ridiculous thing.

Li Chen smiled mildly and teasingly said, "Vermilion Bird, you didn’t come all this way just to help me with my homework, did you?"

Vermilion Bird didn’t respond, but instead took out a document from her bag and handed it over.

Li Chen asked, "What’s this?"

Vermilion Bird answered, "A challenge letter from the General, calling you to duel at the Yan Mountain Peak in three months."

Li Chen had heard about this before.

And it was all within his expectations.

In the worldly society, one can’t escape their fate. Even the Undefeated War God of Huaxia cannot avoid these customs.

Li Lingtian was not only the Undefeated War God of Huaxia, but also the current Family Head of the Li Family. Now that Sunx Baiyang was in trouble, he had to step forward to vindicate him and shut the rumors.

Li Chen roughly skimmed the content of the challenge letter, nodded, and said, "Alright, I got it. Go back and tell your General, I accept this challenge!"

Vermilion Bird was somewhat astonished to see Li Chen still remaining calm and composed.

"The General has asked me to tell you that he did this out of necessity, and he hopes for your understanding!"

Li Chen nodded, indicating that he could understand.

After a moment of silence, he suddenly asked a question.

"By the way, does your general also think that Sun Baiyang was killed by me?"

Vermilion Bird shook his head and said, "Of course not. If you wanted to kill Sun Baiyang, you would have done it on the spot. You would never use such a dishonorable method!"

Li Chen gave a knowing smile and asked, "Then he must know who the real culprit behind the scenes is, right?"

Vermilion Bird hesitated for a moment before speaking, "The General hasn’t mentioned this to me, and I dare not speculate recklessly. However, from my experience, in matters involving various interests like this, the one who benefits the most usually has the greatest suspicion!"

Li Chen nodded slightly, indicating that he agreed with this view.

"By the way, there’s something odd about Elder Niao from Medicine King Valley. If you want to investigate the mastermind, you might start with him!"

Vermilion Bird was startled upon hearing this and asked with surprise, "Elder Niao?"

He was familiar with everyone in Medicine King Valley, from the Deacon Elders to ordinary disciples, but he had never heard of an Elder Niao.

Seeing what Vermilion Bird was thinking, Li Chen smiled slightly and said, "It’s Great Elder Pang Guang!"

"Eh? Pang Guang, as Elder Niao?"

Hearing Li Chen’s explanation, Vermilion Bird burst out laughing.

"Alright, when I get back, I’ll start investigating this Elder Niao and will surely clear your name soon!"

...

The news of Li Chen accepting Li Lingtian’s challenge quickly spread, reaching the ears of the Yuann Family.

Yuann Jinsan asked, "Big brother, who do you think will have the upper hand in this conflict between the two Li’s three months from now?"

"Old Six, aren’t you stating the obvious? Li Lingtian is our Huaxia’s Undefeated War God, the foremost among those below the God Realm. How could Immortal Master Li possibly be his opponent!" Yuann Family Second spoke disdainfully.

"Second Brother, I think Immortal Master Li can win. His growth rate is like riding a rocket, truly terrifying!" This time, it was the Third Son of Yuann Family who spoke.

"Li Lingtian is the Undefeated War God, how could he possibly lose?"

"The Undefeated War God is also human, and humans can lose. Besides, hasn’t Immortal Master Li never been defeated since he started half a year ago?"

...

Seeing the commotion below, Yuann Jintian, sitting at the chief seat, banged the table hard.

"Be quiet! What’s the point of arguing over who will lose and who will win here?"

Yuann Jinsan, mediocre in ability but good at flattering, saw his elder brother getting truly angry and hurriedly chimed in.

"Big Brother is right. In the conflict between the two Li’s, as two tigers fight, our Yuann Family will reap the benefits regardless of who wins or loses!"

"Right, big brother, the Great Elder Pang Guang from Medicine King Valley sent a message asking what else you need him to do?"

Yuann Jintian thought for a moment and said, "Three months from now, Li Lingtian and Immortal Master Li will fight a deciding battle at Yan Mountain Peak. Our goal has been achieved. He’s of no use anymore; keeping him around will only lead to more problems at night!"

Hearing this, everyone present was shocked.

Yuann Jinsan carefully chose his words and tentatively said, "Big Brother, Old Four’s Hongmen has already lost four Grandmasters. Right now, our Yuann Family really needs people, and Pang Guang is at least an Innate Master. Perhaps we..."

However, before he could finish, Yuann Jintian interrupted him, "For power, that man, Pang Guang, can even scheme against his own decades-long fellow disciples. He will surely betray us for profit in the future!"

"That’s a dog that can’t be tamed. Keeping him means worrying about being bitten back. It’s better to remove him early to avoid future problems."

"Big Brother is absolutely right, rest assured, that Pang Guang won’t survive three days!"
