With the arrival of the two Earthly Emanations, Black Buddha and Black Water, the atmosphere instantly became tense.
The 800 Dixian under Zhou Taihe's command were all in danger, including the hundreds of Itinerant Immortals. Even the Nine Tribulation Itinerant Immortals looked fearful.
They were all from the Ancient Era. Naturally, they knew about Black Buddha and Black Water, the two Earthly Emanations. They were also aware that in the Ancient Era, these two Earthly Emanations were already Nine Tribulation Scattered Immortals. With the help of the Blood Fiend Dragon Elephant, it was easy for them to kill Perfected Immortals.
Although the Nine Tribulation Itinerant Immortals under Zhou Taihe were also Nine Tribulation Itinerant Immortals, they were only comparable to Genuine Immortals. None of them had the ability to kill Genuine Immortals. Moreover, Black Water and Black Buddha were Nine Tribulation Itinerant Immortals in the antiquity times. It had been one or two hundred years since then, who knew how many Immortal Tribulations they had passed and how powerful they had become.
Of course.
Although they were fearful.
They were fearful, but that did not mean they were fearful.
They believed that as long as Master Black Heart was there, Black Buddha and Black Water would not be able to do anything, no matter how powerful they were. Moreover, they had Sengoku behind them. Therefore, they had nothing to be afraid of.
On the other hand, the hundreds of Chi Xiao followers under Zhou Taihe, when they saw Black Water and Black Buddha, they were like mice that had seen a cat. Their expressions changed again and again, and they looked fearful.
Only Zhou Taihe himself was still standing halfway up the mountain. His expression looked rather calm, but his brows were tightly knitted. He looked rather cautious and faintly a little worried.
However.
It was not Lord Black Buddha or Master Black Water that made him worried.
Others might not know the strength of these two Earth Gods, but as an Earth God himself, he knew it very well.
He was not afraid, and there was nothing to be worried about.
What really made him worried was the old man who came with Black Buddha and Master Black Water.
The old man was dressed in a grey robe and had grey hair. Although he looked ordinary, in Zhou Taihe's eyes, he was incomparably unfathomable.
Few of the cultivators present, including the Dixian and even the Itinerant Immortals, knew this old man.
Only Zhou Taihe and the other Chi Xiao people knew this old man.
The old man's surname was Mei, and he was known as Elder Mei. He was an otherworldly expert.
He was also half Chi Xiao.
The reason it was only half was because Elder Mei had stayed in Chi Xiao Sect back then. However, unlike the other Chi Xiao Sect members, he had not merged with the Crimson Dragon Elephant.
Old Mei was a demon immortal.
Furthermore, he was an old demon immortal who had cultivated for an unknown number of years. Similarly, no one knew how strong he was.
This was because no one had ever seen Old Mei in action before, not even once.
This was also the reason why Zhou Taihe was worried.
But that wasn't all.
What worried him the most was the fact that Old Mei was proficient in some heretical arts.
The so-called heretical arts, such as divination and curses, could all be called heretical arts.
Heretical arts should not be underestimated. Once one was proficient in them, one could seize good fortune and determine the fate of the universe. There was nothing one could not do.
Back then, Master Black Water was ranked as an Earth Fiend. King Chi Xiao knew that Master Black Water had a bad temper and was stubborn when he did things. He was worried that Master Black Water would cause trouble, so he asked Old Mei to take care of him.
Elder Mei had relied on heretical arts to devise strategies and determine victory from thousands of miles away. With Elder Mei's guidance, Master Black Water could be said to have been successful in every endeavor. He killed gods and Buddhas. Not only could he kill his enemies in a short period of time, but he could also escape unscathed after killing them.
At that time, the other Disha Masters were very envious of Master Black Water for having Elder Mei, a demon immortal who was proficient in heretical arts, as his assistant.
Zhou Taihe had witnessed with his own eyes that Elder Mei had merely tampered with a magic treasure that had been refined by a Sengoku immortal. That Sengoku immortal had gone mad from thousands of miles away. That's right, he had gone mad … He had lost his mind, as if he had been possessed by the devil.
No one knew exactly how Elder Mei had done it.
The only thing they knew was that it was very frightening.
Thinking about it, the other party was an immortal from Sengoku. Just because Master Black Water had snatched his magic treasure and handed it to Elder Mei, Elder Mei had only tampered with it a little and that immortal had gone mad without any warning.
Even now, Zhou Taihe still felt a chill down his spine when he thought about it.
And now, he was seeing Elder Mei here.
How could he not be worried?
He had not expected that Dong Laohu would be able to invite Elder Mei here today.
"Black Heart, long time no see."
The one who spoke was Master Black Water. He was tall and sturdy, with an intimidating aura. His voice was like a great bell, causing one's eardrums to buzz.
Zhou Taihe was somewhat worried, but he did not show it. He nodded and asked indifferently, "How have you been?"
"Well? Not really. A few years ago, there was a liar who pretended to be the descendant of the King in the Northwest. She cheated the entire Northwest. In order to catch her, I almost traveled the whole world. "
Master Black Water looked at Zhou Taihe and said, "I always knew that you lived a comfortable life in Yanluo. If I had not met Black Buddha by chance, I would not have known that you lived a comfortable life in Yanluo. You almost forgot who you are."
Zhou Taihe knew what he meant. He said calmly, "I have said that no matter what I become, I will never forget the great kindness of the King."
"Well, with your words, the King did not cultivate you in vain," Master Black Water changed the topic and asked, "I heard that you have been very close to Sengoku these years."
Zhou Taihe did not explain, nor did he hide anything. He just nodded directly.
"I heard that you are going to accept Sengoku's conferment today?"
"I came here to pay respects to the King."
Master Black Water asked, "Just to pay respects to the King?"
Zhou Taihe looked at him and replied with certainty, "Just to pay respects to the King."
"Zhou Taihe, we are old acquaintances. What is there to hide? Since you have done it, why don't you dare to admit it?" Next to him, Lord Black Buddha, who had been silent all this time, said, "Do you think I don't know that among the edicts brought by the people of the Immortal Dynasty to Yanluo Empire this time, one of them is conferring a title?"
"That is Sengoku's business. It has nothing to do with me." Zhou Taihe had been very calm. He said, "I will say it again. I came here to pay respects to the King."
"Good! If that is the case, then it can't be better. "
Lord Black Buddha squinted his eyes and stared at Zhou Taihe. "If you dare to accept the conferment of the Celestial Dynasty today, then it's time for us, the Crimson Sky brothers, to settle the score."
Zhou Taihe nodded. Just as he was about to bring his people up the mountain to pay respects to the King, a voice came from behind him.
"Master Black Heart, I wonder if you can listen to I say a few words?"
The person who spoke was Elder Mei. His voice made Zhou Taihe's heart skip a beat. He stopped and turned around, looked at Elder Mei, and said, "I am all ears."
