Chapter 1429 - 1429: The Wise and Mighty Brother Cheng

"Eh, it's actually you?"

Brother Cheng obviously remembered this girl he had once shielded in the Celestial Dao Sword Sea.

"Ah, isn't this Emperor Jiang Yin? Long time no see!"

Ling also showed a look of surprise followed by a joyful smile.

Of course, she was just feigning it.

As the Celestial Emperor of War, both inside and outside, no creature was stronger than her.

However, she was merely here as a 'witness' to play around, so she deliberately stayed in the Illusion Realm to pass the time early on.

Pretending to have the strength of a normal Daoist Venerable, without showing off.

Just now was the first time she broke through the Illusion Realm.

Anyway, besides the Celestial Emperor and Divine Monarch, the other immortals didn't recognize her.

"Long time no see. Are you here to compete for the position of Divine Monarch as well?"

Brother Cheng slightly sensed that this woman's realm was also that of a Daoist Venerable.

"Yes."

Ling smiled with her eyes curving like crescents.

"Does Emperor Jiang Yin have any spare capacity to bring people along this time?"

Brother Cheng naturally didn't mind bringing along a girl.

But he also knew that she was a cunning and calculating woman.

Last time in the Celestial Dao Sword Sea, this woman could command a Supreme who had mastered the Life and Death Sword Heart, her identity was definitely exceptional.

Since you want to pretend and play dumb with me, I'll play along with you.

"You know this first round of auditions is a personal battle, others can't enter the Illusion Realm." He deliberately showed a look of difficulty.

Ling immediately showed a playful bad grin.

"Oh dear, didn't Emperor Jiang Yin used to say he could easily sweep the whole field wherever he went?"

"Could it be this time it's not possible..."

As soon as her voice fell, new dark clouds enveloped her.

And drew her into the Illusion Realm's attack.

Inside the Illusion Realm's vast grassland, every blade of grass seemed to suddenly come to life.

In an instant, countless blades of grass shot at her from all directions.

Ling didn't even glance at them.

All the grass blades endowed with different rule attacks immediately halted.

Frozen abruptly in mid-air, not moving at all.

Time seemed to stand still at this moment.

The Illusion Realm, which would originally continue attacking, also miraculously paused.

Only when she released the restraint would it resume its flow.

This technique was fortunate enough to happen inside the Illusion Realm where no one could see it.

Otherwise, it would undoubtedly shock the entire audience.

What Yun Ting Daoist Saint, Meng Wu Daoist Saint, even Qiu Yuxuan's powerful strike, in the face of her terrifying deterrence, were incomparable.

And the woman who achieved all this had an expression as nonchalant as if nothing happened.

"Ah, this lousy competition is really annoying, I haven't even finished speaking."

To disguise as a normal Daoist Venerable, she wouldn't immediately break through the Illusion Realm to go outside and continue teasing Brother Cheng.

"Forget it..."

She laughed gleefully.

"Saying he's not up to it, he should be furious, right?"

Then, the grass blades around her suddenly disappeared without a trace.

Not only the grass blades, but even the Illusion Realm she was in vanished.

Soon after, she saw Jiang Cheng's playful smiling face again.

"Never say a man is not up to it."

"Of course I can sweep the entire field, but it depends on your own performance."

As the grand Celestial Emperor of War, there wasn't much that could shock Ling anymore.

Yet at this moment, she was still taken aback.

Because she hadn't broken through the Illusion Realm just now.

The Illusion Realm was shattered by Jiang Cheng from the outside to help her.

How could this be?

All the people outside had their perceptions refreshed once more.

"My heavens, what just happened?"

"I didn't quite understand either."

"Seems like he forcibly dispelled the dark cloud surrounding that Female Immortal?"

Someone stammered and nodded: "Yes, yes, that's correct..."

They couldn't hear the conversation between the two inside, but they saw the process.

After Ling was engulfed by the dark cloud, Jiang Cheng didn't leave.

Instead, he made some mysterious seal techniques beside her.

Then, he forcibly pulled away the dark cloud.

"You're allowed to do that?"

"Isn't the Secret Realm competition supposed to rely on oneself? Turns out you can help others?"

"Absurd, too absurd!"

"Only a unique person like Elder Jiang could accomplish this, right?"

"Is helping someone evade the Illusion Realm's attack considered cheating?"

Everyone expressed their astonishment.

Bro, you're performing such nonhuman operations in front of so many people, completely undermining the meaning of the competition itself!

"The rules didn't say helping wasn't allowed, so it shouldn't be considered cheating, right?"

"That Female Immortal is really lucky..."

Hearing their discussions, the Divine Monarchs on the high platform were all speechless.

That Female Immortal is the Celestial Emperor of War, okay? Does she need anyone's help?

And how did that kid do it?

Even the three Celestial Emperors couldn't help but rub their temples.

The two people, one whom no one dared to provoke, the other constantly showing off and skirting the rules, now finally met their match.

How did you do it?

Ling inside was eager to ask this question.

But ultimately, she only chuckled.

"You truly are you!"

She looked at Sect Leader Jiang with meaningful eyes, "Then how do you want me to perform?"

Just cracked a node of a great array, Sect Leader Jiang laughed heartily.

"First, let's hear you call me Brother Cheng."

Ling's brow twitched with three dark lines.

You sure have guts, kid!

In the Primordial Immortal Realm, there's no one bold enough to ask this Emperor to call them brother.

But considering if she didn't comply, this kid might just leave, and there'd be no more fun.

Moreover, no one outside could hear.

So this mischievous woman's smile remained, "Hello, Brother Cheng."

"Good girl!"

Brother Cheng smiled affectionately and ruffled her hair.

His seniority actually did surpass that of the War Emperor a bit.

Considering that the Ten Celestial Emperors were all selected by the Immortal Mother years ago.

Back then, Jiang Cheng had already been trapped in the Heavenly Dao for a long time.

Though at this time, neither of them were aware of it.

Jiang Cheng had no idea this woman was one of the Ten Celestial Emperors; he merely assumed Ling was a descendant of some Celestial Emperor, a noble daughter like a princess or something.

Or maybe, she was a high-tier commander under the command of the Celestial Battle Bureau's Celestial Palace's Imperial Guard.

And his head-rubbing act shocked everyone.

The Divine Monarchs outside, and even the three Celestial Emperors, almost fell down.

Kid, what are you doing?

You dare to touch the War Emperor's head?

Are you courting death?

Especially Emperor Xiu, who was internally yelling furiously.

Kill him!

Quick, kill him!

Unfortunately, Ling couldn't hear his inner voice.

She merely smiled sweetly, noting this account for future repayment.

"So, Brother Cheng, are you willing to take me with you?"

"Please call me the mighty and brilliant Brother Cheng." Jiang Cheng shamelessly proposed a new demand.

Ling secretly grinded her teeth, somewhat suspecting this kid was deliberately torturing her, though she had no evidence.

"Mighty and brilliant Bro..."

Before she could finish, Jiang Cheng suddenly pulled her arm, drawing her into his embrace.

"What are you doing?"

Ling narrowed her eyes, still smiling.

Only she knew what she was truly thinking.
