Chapter 1139: Elder Tiger Demon
Yan Yi was completely dumbfounded.
What did she just see?
That Cloud Wave Flowing Rain Beast was killed just like that?
Yan Yi wasn’t surprised that Jiang Cheng could one-shot the opponent.
If she were the Supreme like him, she could easily do it too, as the opponent wasn’t strong.
But the problem is... this is the Celestial Palace.
Those who reside here are all registered, official Immortal Officials.
"You just killed him like that?"
She couldn’t maintain her indifferent expression and directly asked.
"Is there a problem with that?"
Brother Cheng didn’t even raise his head.
The opponent provoked him, so he retaliated. It was quite normal.
Besides, he only killed a ’weakling’ of Emperor Realm Ninth Layer.
He didn’t understand what was worth discussing here.
Soon, luxurious and exquisitely crafted palaces suddenly sprang up from the ground.
The skill of creating objects was exceptionally useful in such occasions.
But Yan Yi was too preoccupied to be amazed by such methods.
Watching Jiang Cheng’s busy figure, she felt it was absurd.
This guy killed an Immortal Official and still acted as if nothing had happened.
Even for a prominent figure like her in the Evil Immortal Realm, she understood the consequences of killing an Immortal Official in the Celestial Palace.
"You killed an Immortal Official..."
Brother Cheng turned his head back, looking at her as if she were a fool.
"I’m the Hidden Emperor. What’s wrong with killing a small fry?"
Yan Yi suddenly realized something.
Due to the bet between the Celestial Palace and the Evil Immortal Realm, it was impossible to execute Jiang Cheng for ten thousand years, or they would instantly lose.
So this guy essentially has an immunity token.
However, this immunity token is temporary.
She chuckled lightly, slightly mocking, "I’m really curious, don’t you think about the future?"
For Immortals like them, living for hundreds of billions of years is entirely possible.
Ten thousand years is just a brief moment in their lives.
Enjoying the present, what happens after ten thousand years?
"The top brass of the Celestial Palace will surely settle scores with you in the future."
"You’ve demanded the Hidden Emperor position, coerced and bargained with them, made so many Daoist Venerables bow, and now you’ve killed an Immortal Official - ’blemished’ doesn’t even begin to describe it..."
She gloated, "Once ten thousand years pass, you’ll meet a terrible end."
Brother Cheng smiled, "You’re really committed, already starting to incite me to rebel against the Celestial Palace?"
Hit by his words, Yan Yi showed no sign of embarrassment, instead coldly sneering.
"What I say is the truth."
"Even if you really beat me, after ten thousand years there won’t be a good outcome for you."
"If I were you, I would be considering how to escape the Celestial Palace right now. That would be the wise choice."
Sect Leader Jiang looked deeply at her, then sighed.
"Give it up, I have a strong sense of commitment. Having taken the Hidden Emperor position, I’ll do a good job."
"Let’s just wait and see!"
While the two were having their casual discussion, the Three-Eyed Tiger was busy notifying the surrounding neighbors.
Since most of the locals here were Female Immortal Officials, the mountains were adorned with mostly quaint pavilions and structures.
The gardens were arranged with floral displays, quite picturesque.
He was, after all, the Supreme; appearing was like a massive stone thrown into a pond, startling a group of Female Immortal Officials.
"Ah, Elder!"
Most of these Female Immortal Officials were only Emperor Realm Ninth Layer, with over ten being Celestial Venerables.
In terms of realm, none could match the Three-Eyed Tiger.
And in the Celestial Palace, their ranks weren’t high, only Eighth and Ninth-grade Immortal Officials.
Suddenly seeing an Elder of Supreme level arriving, they thought he was at least a Seventh-grade Immortal Official.
The hierarchy of the Celestial Palace was strict, and these Female Immortal Officials didn’t dare show any disrespect.
"Greetings, Elder!"
"This Tiger Demon Elder seems unfamiliar..."
"Is he a newly appointed Elder?"
"Could he be here for inspection?"
"Which division of Immortal Official does the Elder belong to?"
"How come you have time to visit our little place?"
Although the Three-Eyed Tiger had transformed into human form, his Demon Qi was completely unhidden, especially since there were other races including the Demon Race among these Female Immortal Officials.
The Three-Eyed Tiger originally planned to say he was their new neighbor, having just moved in, inviting them to join his housewarming celebration.
Listening to the guesses of this group of birds and swallows, he had a cunning idea.
So he straightened his chest, wearing a majestic face, "That’s right, I’m a Fifth-grade Immortal Official from the Division of Personnel, here specifically to inspect you."
Upon hearing he was from the ’Division of Personnel,’ such a key department sending a lofty Fifth-grade Immortal Official, the Female Immortal Officials were startled and became even more respectful.
The Three-Eyed Tiger was quickly taken down.
Naturally, received with a warm welcome and gracious hospitality, akin to Emperor-level treatment.
However, the Female Immortal Officials weren’t fools even though they could ascend to the sky.
Soon they realized this ’Fifth-grade Immortal Official’ was full of inconsistencies in his speech.
A quarter hour later, the Three-Eyed Tiger ’accidentally’ exposed his Identity Jade Talisman, revealing himself to be a mere Ninth-grade Immortal Official.
Those deceived Female Immortal Officials immediately turned hostile.
A fight broke out between both sides.
The Three-Eyed Tiger didn’t have an immunity token and didn’t dare kill recklessly in the Celestial Palace.
Since he was at fault, he didn’t go all-out.
As the battle imploded here, the architect Jiang Cheng, having just completed a vast palace complex, heard some commotion.
"What’s happening?"
He hurriedly flew over with Yan Yi.
When the two arrived at the scene, many Female Immortal Officials had already been immobilized by the Three-Eyed Tiger.
Though not dead, they lay or stood there, unable to move.
Nothing could be done as the Three-Eyed Tiger’s power as the Supreme was far superior to them.
Brother Cheng was puzzled; he sent you to invite people for a celebration and to foster relations, how did you end up fighting people?
He quickly rushed into the fray, slapping the Three-Eyed Tiger away.
"Everyone stop!"
"What happened?"
Those Female Immortal Officials were already on the brink, almost ’annihilated.’
In despair, suddenly someone charged in and repulsed the hateful deceitful Tiger Demon, and they were instantly delighted.
"Well done, Elder!"
"This Tiger Demon impersonated a senior Immortal Official from the Division of Personnel, utterly audacious!"
"Indeed, he deceived us, trying to gain the upper hand and take advantage..."
However, soon they noticed Jiang Cheng’s ’low realm’ of merely mid-stage Emperor Realm Eighth Layer.
The initial joy cooled quickly.
They were hoping for a strong ally, but this is even weaker than us?
Three-Eyed Tiger grinned and spread his hands toward Brother Cheng.
"I was supposed to perform some high-end maneuvers, but didn’t expect to fail."
"Sigh, this round was my mistake."
The ladies looked at each other and frowned collectively, their gazes toward Jiang Cheng now harboring hostility.
The newbie turns out to know the Tiger Demon, is he part of the gang?
No trace of urgency or shame on Three-Eyed Tiger’s face; he’s still feeling regretful there.
"Failed to win favor right off the bat."
"Brother, looks like we can’t establish rapport with them..."
His words were cut off by Brother Cheng’s angry interruption.
"Who is your brother?"
