Chapter 892: Chapter 739: Showing Off Fails and Gets Screwed Over

Wang Zijia slightly returned to his senses, looked down, and saw the ground, the mountains, and the area below the low skies were all filled with people, a veritable sea of humanity.

He opened his mouth, just about to say something when suddenly his brows furrowed.

"Hmm?"

Several Immortal Venerates also felt something, turning their heads and looking up.

"Clap, clap!"

A series of not so loud, yet clear claps that echoed throughout the entire Spirit Suppressing Realm attracted everyone’s attention.

"To achieve the Supreme status in the Spirit Suppressing Realm, it seems you are not only an old fellow but also one with quite a few good things."

Immediately after, a rather casual voice sounded, the words tinged with strong interest, but not much politeness.

The crowd looked up and saw two elders stepping through the air with ease, walking over leisurely.

One was clad in a black robe, his figure hazy and not clearly visible, only allowing a rough guess that he was an Old Taoist;

The other had white hair and beard, wearing a Star Robe that seemed to roll back the starry sky, profound and dreamlike, exuding an air of Immortal Wind and Dao Bone, mysterious and unfathomable. However, those blood-colored eyes seemed a bit out of tune with his usual demeanor.

The one who had clapped was the elder in the Star Robe: Zhu Xinghe.

At this moment, he was smiling, eyes twinkling with light as he looked at Wang Zijia, as if seeing an unrivaled delicacy.

Due to his words and manner, the group of Immortal Venerates subconsciously moved to Wang Zijia’s side, their expressions solemn as they faced the two top-tier celestial immortals who had suddenly appeared in the sky.

"Are you... Zhu Xinghe, the Patriarch?"

Because of an earlier incident, Wang Zijia had seen some materials about this individual in the Taiching Palace, which is why upon seeing this Old Taoist who had suddenly shown up to show off, Wang Zijia recognized him instantly, without any attempt to disguise himself.

Despite the other’s lack of courtesy, Wang Zijia still asked with calmness, "Does Fellow Daoist have a matter to attend to?"

"Ah, nothing much, just here to settle a few blood debts with you!" Zhu Xinghe spoke flatly, but Wang Zijia could sense the emotions of resentment and excitement within his words.

This caused Wang Zijia to furrow his brows once again.

"Blood debts?" In confusion, Wang Zijia quickly searched his memory. Whether it was time-space travel or the past decade or so, he had never encountered the other party, not even a familiar aura.

"I can’t recall having any feud with you." Wang Zijia replied accordingly.

"Is that so? You won’t think the same soon!" Zhu Xinghe said, a cruel smile spreading across his lips.

"Spare the nonsense. I’m only giving you a quarter of an hour. After that, regardless of the situation, I will withdraw." The black-robed elder beside Zhu Xinghe spoke and then disappeared from the spot.

In the next moment, a billow of black fog suddenly enveloped Lei Ting, wrapping him in its midst.

The black fog churned as if the two were engaging in a fierce battle within that small space.

Seeing this, Zhu Xinghe chuckled and shook his head, then took a step forward and similarly vanished on the spot.

The defensive group of Immortal Venerates was startled; by the time they located Zhu Xinghe again, he had already reached Wang Zijia and was reaching out to grab him.

As he reached out, it was as if a grand curtain of heaven and earth was descending upon Wang Zijia.

Previously appearing casual, Zhu Xinghe’ move was now with shocking might, his peak-level Celestial Immortal cultivation completely unrestrained.

Yet, Wang Zijia’s aura also surged dramatically; his cultivation had only just achieved Earth Immortal, his aura not even stabilized, when it abruptly advanced to the Late Heavenly Immortal Stage.

He too raised his hand toward Zhu Xinghe with a palm strike.

"Bang, bang!"

A huge collision of Spiritual Light produced a violent shockwave. Wang Zijia and Zhu Xinghe both retreated several steps before steadying themselves.

The shockwave from the collision caught the Earth Immortals by surprise next to Wang Zijia, sending them flying far away.

However, after one exchange, there wasn’t a continuous clash as one might expect; both parties abruptly stopped, or more accurately, both Wang Zijia and Zhu Xinghe were suddenly taken aback.

Zhu Xinghe looked bewildered, and Wang Zijia wore a strange expression, not because of their cultivation levels but because of something extremely unexpected that seemed to have happened during their brief contact.

"This is so strange, I have absolutely no memory of you, yet you and I are so...," Wang Zijia paused, apparently searching for the right word, and then said, "this close?"

Having been in this world for so many years, even Xiang Feifei and Bai Qian, who were deeply entangled with him, didn’t have such a deep karma with him as this guy.

It was almost as if... a blood relative?

If it weren’t that Wang Zijia remembered his father to be Wang Sheng and that he had no illegitimate children, he might have thought that Zhu Xinghe was some kind of debt he accidentally left behind at some point!

Zhu Xinghe too looked surprised and uncertain, his instincts unexpectedly on edge as if he had encountered a natural enemy or some great terror, and he even felt a bit panicked.

But he couldn’t understand why.

Next moment, he understood.

Right after Wang Zijia spoke, as if trying something, he casually raised his hand, and unseen by others, a Golden Light Spot floated out, heading toward Zhu Xinghe.

And Zhu Xinghe’s blood-colored eyes could actually see these light spots formed by the Power of Tao Fruits extension.

The moment the Golden Light Spot appeared, Zhu Xinghe’s already on edge instincts became even more pronounced. His temples throbbed as if he were a mortal, and he did not hesitate to retreat explosively.

That moment, he truly felt the danger of death.

Actually, the power of Wang Zijia’s Demon Seeding, while strong due to the extension of the Tao Fruits, was not easy to utilize since he couldn’t actively invoke it due to his cultivation level. Normally, unless there is a significant gap in cultivation, such a crude Demonic Planting Method thrown out directly for demonic erosion surely wouldn’t work. A Yuan Shen Cultivator’s Magical Shield could easily block it, making it unlikely to threaten anyone.
