Perfect Double Agent

That young man was so nonchalant, with a disdainful attitude and a face full of dissatisfaction that it made people, especially some of the older generation, furious.

Although they had never come before, they were still willing to be buried in the Imperial Pass in the final stage of their lives. Even other young people, although they were doing it for the good fortune outside the pass, were at least low-key enough.

"Young Master Jin, this way please. A welcoming banquet has been prepared inside the pass." The Grand Commander, who was guarding the altar before entering the city, took the initiative to greet him, which made many people even more indignant.

"Damn it, who are these people?!" One of the hot-tempered people cursed. They had waited so long, not only being investigated but also questioned about their backgrounds and ancestors. They had finally waited until they were about to be let through, but then a sickly man with a maid appeared in front of them.

It's like, we risk our lives, and you take a woman on a trip, that's something that would make anyone feel unbalanced.

"The people of Guanzhong are really something. They take all these old, weak, sick, and disabled people over there every day. They can barely catch their breath. Are they planning to use their old arms and legs to make the enemy laugh their teeth out when they leave the pass?"

"So what if you're from a family of immortals? You're just a bunch of parasites, only benefiting from your ancestors' glory. Where are you on the battlefield?!" An old man with white hair couldn't hold back any longer. His seemingly frail body erupted with blood and qi, shaking the heavens and the earth, shooting straight into the starry sky, making the stars tremble as if about to fall.

This was a powerful cultivator who had achieved the first stage of cultivation. Although he was only at the initial stage, he still gave the young master of the Jin family a fright.

"No disrespect is permitted before the Imperial Pass; violators will be executed on the spot!" The Grand Commander before the altar spoke, his tone filled with chilling indignation, causing the old man to forcibly suppress his aura in anger.

"It's nothing, nothing at all. This young master doesn't hold grudges against such petty people. It would be beneath me to argue with a bunch of dying people..."

But, just as he finished speaking, a golden light suddenly shot out from the void behind him.

It was dazzling; the golden light was brilliant, and the celestial radiance was like water, enveloping the thousand-foot-long dragon as it soared in, its dragon might overwhelming.

"A true dragon?"

A group of people were horrified. The true dragon was incredibly majestic and fast. It was enveloped by the dreamlike laws of time and space and sped along a transparent road. It seemed unable to stop and crashed straight into this direction.

"This is..." The golden-robed youth turned his head, his eyes widening, and even his legs trembled uncontrollably.

"boom!"

A golden dragon descended from the sky, its enormous body rubbing against a young man's face and forcefully pressing him down beneath it.

It then transformed into a magnificent and robust golden bull, landing heavily in front of the altar, spewing out two plumes of white smoke from its mouth and nostrils.

"Boss, I think I bumped into someone..."

"Is there...?"

The gate to the Immortal Palace was pushed open, and a man wearing a robe of ten thousand Daos walked out. In his arms was a woman of stunning beauty, aloof and ethereal, tall and slender. Upon seeing the presence of an outsider, she couldn't help but pat the large hand above her lower abdomen, but the other party did not let go.

This made Qingyi's face flush, and a sense of shame spread through her. Her face lowered slightly, making her even more beautiful.

They were supposed to be monitoring him, but they ended up monitoring him in his arms.

"It seems like there's someone..." Taurus looked down at himself. There was indeed a golden figure there, with his front legs pressing on its chest. The figure was staring at him with a livid face. Beside it was a beautiful girl who was terrified.

"Your surname is Bai! Get your cow out of the way!"

"If you dare to make a single move, you will be my sworn enemy!"

Bai Ye stood before the Immortal Palace, looking down at Jin Zhifei. Although he showed no emotion, the entire area felt oppressed.

Even the Grand Knight Commander lowered his head and dared not utter a single word.

"Anyone who dares to go to the battlefield deserves respect, whether old or young. They at least have the courage to be buried beyond the Great Wall. You, on the other hand, come from a family of immortals and have extraordinary talent. You can have whatever you want. You don't have to participate, but you can't utter any insults!"

With a bang, Jin Zhifei was slapped and sent flying, crashing heavily into the city wall. His head shattered into pieces, and his facial features were completely deformed.

However, no one showed the slightest sympathy.

“Your Highness, it’s not that bad… You don’t need to do this for us.” The white-haired old man sighed. It wasn’t that he sympathized with Jin Zhifei, but rather that he was afraid of causing trouble for the young immortal king.

There are countless rumors circulating in the world. Although the Little Immortal King is strong, he has offended too many immortal families. Now, he has offended the Jin family for the sake of some of their old-timers. It is not worth it at all.

"It's alright. If the Jin family dares to come, I will welcome them all. Seniors, please enter the pass."

"Your Highness, please go first." Everyone was very grateful.

"Activate the altar!" Bai Ye coldly glanced at the great knight, causing him to tremble and quickly activate the altar, leading a group of elders ahead.

Jin Zhifei's old servant glared at Bai Ye with hatred, "My young master is one of the patriarch's most beloved juniors. Even if you are a little immortal king, you can't just leave him without an explanation!"

"Whatever explanation your Jin family wants, let Lady Jin come to me. If she dares to lay a hand on me even once, I will kill two of her sons. After killing her children, I will continue killing. Let's see if she can kill me first, or if I can kill all her offspring first!"

This was astonishing; though the words were plain, they were powerful and resounding, containing an undeniable strength and dominance that shook the heavens.

Meanwhile, in the city, a figure saw the scene displayed in the magic array before him and couldn't help but let out a cold snort.

“Fellow Daoists, although this boy is quite talented, he is so unruly and has insulted me so much. He even said he wanted to slaughter my entire Jin family. Are you still going to protect him?”

"He can humiliate me today, and he can humiliate you all tomorrow. He disrespects the sages, honors the immortal families, and disregards the rules of the Imperial Pass. He has no respect for elders, acts recklessly and without restraint. He's already so lawless now; if he grows up, he will surely wreak havoc on the heavens!"

Chapter 404 Beyond the Imperial Pass

Silence fell over the Imperial Pass. Most people were seeing the young man for the first time, but the first impression was clearly very profound.

“It’s good that the younger generation is young and impetuous. We all went through the same thing back then. Besides, fellow Daoist should also restrain his descendants.” Someone said this, not to say that he was biased, but he was very dissatisfied with Jin Zhifei’s words and deeds.

"Is this considered a good thing? Who is as arrogant and domineering as him, trespassing on Brother Feng's clan territory and causing rivers of blood to flow? Brother Feng offered him immortal gold, yet he never showed any gratitude!

Treating Brother Feng like this, and then killing his own son in front of Brother Wang, so many pillars of the nation have met untimely deaths. And this hasn't even started a war yet; if a war were to begin, wouldn't it chill the hearts of the people?

This was an old woman with white hair and beard, leaning on a cane, dressed in a magnificent golden robe, speaking with a commanding presence and utter authority.

Everyone knows that this person is extremely protective of his own, even of the younger generation. Jin Zhifei was personally trained by this person, and his talent ranks second among the recent generations of the Jin family, second only to Jin Zhan.

Now, her favorite junior was slapped in front of her, which felt like a direct blow to her face.

“The Little Immortal King possesses unparalleled talent among his generation. Before the next generation grows up, he is needed to keep the younger generation of foreign lands in check,” someone said.

"When do we need a junior to suppress foreign lands? What are we doing here!"

Brilliant talents abound, yet they too are swept away by the passage of time.

"Then what do you intend to do!" someone said coldly, looking indifferently at Jin Taijun, his motionless body shaking off a layer of dust.

“It’s been almost an era. He doesn’t need to rely on a junior anymore. He wouldn’t have before, and he won’t now. He’s offended those immortals, which isn’t a good thing.” Jin Taijun’s words were pointed, silencing everyone.

The remnant immortal is always a major threat, as everyone knows. Jin Taijun's attitude is also somewhat abnormal. Logically speaking, even for a junior, she shouldn't keep nagging like this unless there's something else going on.

Jin Taijun continued, "Nine Heavens was saved thanks to Tianyuan, thanks to our generation's defense of the city, and... the existence of those people!"

“Those people…could they be…” Even the few motionless figures slowly opened their eyes.

They considered a possibility: a few days ago, news came from the Great Crimson Heaven that there was an incredibly powerful female expert who was suspected of being the one who blocked the Immortal King Luomo. Unfortunately, she was clearly a senior on their side, but she had become a forbidden zone and ignored the mortal world.

"The Immortal Bell is the symbol of our realm. It is suspected that the Immortal King Wuzhong and other sages signed an agreement with those people back then. I suggest that we take back the Immortal Bell to find those people from back then and ask them to support our realm."

"The Immortal Bell..."

Everyone fell silent, seriously suspecting that Jin Taijun was using this excuse to seize the Immortal King's artifact. However, Jin Taijun's confident demeanor seemed genuine, suggesting that he had likely found many clues. These races, which had survived since the previous era, possessed astonishing secrets, and perhaps they were indeed connected to those people.

"Let's talk about it later." Someone shook their head, rejecting the tempting offer. It was Jin Taijun's pretense of suppressing a junior; his true intention was something else entirely.

Whether the Immortal Bell can be used as a token is another matter, but at least Jin Taijun has provided good news: finding the people from back then and establishing contact with them is indeed the most important thing right now.

Meanwhile, Bai Ye, who had already entered the inner city of the Imperial Pass, was completely unaware of this. Even if he had known, he probably wouldn't have reacted much.

The petty squabbles in Jiutian are so serious that anyone could get so angry they'd vomit blood.

"Your Highness, please come this way after you emerge from the pass."

As soon as they stepped out of the teleportation array, someone came to greet them. It was a great knight riding a Devouring Beast. Behind him was a group of cultivators covered from head to toe in black armor, numbering more than twenty. The lowest level of their cultivation was Void Dao.

This surprised Bai Ye. Although he was very famous, there weren't many people in Diguan who would give him face.

"Our ancestor instructed us to protect His Highness as he emerges from seclusion," the leading elderly knight said.

"Senior Meng?" Bai Ye nodded. It wasn't that Meng Tianzheng had no descendants, but rather that his descendants were all in the Imperial Pass. This great knight had most likely received favors from Meng Tianzheng.

"You hit Jin Zhifei, and Jin Taijun is now inside the pass," the old man said, intentionally reminding him.

"It's alright. If she dares to force me, I'll kill her descendants and run away to another realm," Bai Ye said with a smile.

"Your Highness, this is no joke." The old knight was terrified and broke out in a cold sweat, while Qingyi reached out and pinched Bai Ye's waist.

She discovered that this guy seemed to have never been pretending. A foreigner, he openly roamed the Imperial Pass and became the pinnacle of the younger generation. If he hadn't offended too many immortal families and faced opposition, he would have truly become the leader below the Supreme Being, leading two generations.

The journey was uneventful, and with someone leading the way, crossing the border was very convenient, requiring no further requests for permission.

This is a magnificent ancient altar, enormous enough to hold a thousand troops. Above it, there are only about a hundred living beings, all waiting to be teleported.

"Who is this... coming out of the city with such a grand display?" Someone turned around and looked at the chariot guarded by a group of black-armored guards.

The ox pulling the cart wasn't particularly strong, only at the late stage of the Celestial God realm, but it was extremely majestic in appearance, with golden horns, golden eyes, and golden skin. Its entire body was golden, as if it were cast from the Yellow Dao Immortal Gold, making it extremely eye-catching. Coupled with the palace body cast from the Bright Immortal Gold, it truly shone wherever it went.

"Little Immortal King... He's come to Imperial Pass?!" Someone exclaimed in surprise. Even though Imperial Pass was isolated from the outside world, most people had heard of this symbol. It was unique in the world and attracted more attention than the travels of the Supreme Being.

"This person can't be the kind of person who's all talk and no action, can he?" someone thought to themselves.

However, with the opening of the altar, the hundred or so people on it were all sent out.

This is a vast Gobi Desert, stretching as far as the eye can see, with yellow sand filling the sky. A huge, blood-red sun hangs in the heavens, and a blood river flows across the desert, surging and turbulent. White bones are buried under the sand, occasionally stirred by the wind to reveal their faces, making this boundless desert appear desolate and eternal.

The crowd split into several groups; some went to seek fortune, while others went to explore the front lines.

"Does Your Highness wish to go to the battlefield? Perhaps we can encounter a small enemy attack," the Grand Knight asked.

"Go, I have never seen a war between two worlds before." Bai Ye walked out and slowly sat cross-legged in front of the Immortal Palace. On his lap, a golden spear of the Yellow Path Immortal lay horizontally. He calmly looked at the desolate scenery around him and the huge vortex that cut off the two worlds in front of him.

A true man should go to the battlefield, take up his gun, mount his horse, and gallop across the land. This is the first time in his life that he has done so. Perhaps Meng Tianzheng had such a plan when he sent someone to pick him up.

Twenty knights, arranged in two rows, with the Grand Knight leading the way like a spearhead, galloping across the desert.

Taurus rarely asks questions. Although he was deeply moved and all the scenery was novel to him, his boss remained unmoved, instead closing his eyes to rest, as if preparing for a great battle.

However, perhaps they were just unlucky, for in the distance, rows of creatures appeared on the boundless desert.

There were so many, a dense, sprawling expanse stretching to the edge of the desert, numbering in the hundreds of thousands, their chilling aura truly awe-inspiring.

"An alien... army!" Even the highest-ranking knight at the front twitched his old face.

But they handled it with ease, as if they had experienced this many times before. Some of the black-armored guards sounded ancient horns, while others dispersed to light beacon fires in various parts of the desert. Even the distant desert was shaking, and a dark, surging torrent was rapidly converging.

Clearly, they weren't the only ones who noticed the commotion.

"Currently, those above the Supreme level cannot cross the Heavenly Abyss, but these people are unaffected. They have attacked many times over the years without stopping. It seems that this time it is also for training troops." The Grand Commander explained, imparting knowledge about the border regions to Bai Ye.

"You all wait here, I'll go check it out." Bai Ye waved, signaling Taurus to go forward.

The golden bull strides forward, its small bells jingling as it pulls the celestial palace, leaving tracks in the desert that are both conspicuous and glaring as the sandstorm sweeps through.

"A giant fish?" The alien creature had obviously also seen the golden bull's body and the celestial palace.

"No! That person... is the renowned Little Immortal King of that realm!"
