Chapter 542: Bai Ze Calls for Reinforcements, the “Debt Collector” has Arrived

The Phoenix Emperor disappeared for a thousand years, yet the Eight Desolates Nine Domains continued to flourish.

After one thousand eight hundred years, a big white dog ran back cursing.

Afterwards, this big white dog personally trotted to the Mountain River Academy and eventually took Wang Hao away.

After two thousand three hundred years, the big white dog returned once more, this time its curses were even fiercer.

This time, the big white dog blocked the entrance of Ye Yongxian’s house for three days and nights, ultimately taking Ye Yongxian away as well.

After three thousand years, the Phoenix Emperor had vanished, and the big white dog returned, this time without cursing, its gaze holding a hint of exhaustion.

After three returns, it finally attracted the attention of some individuals, and three people blocked its way, not allowing it to leave.

Faced with their obstruction, the big white dog earnestly persuaded them, and finally they yielded and let it pass.

This time, the Ice Fire Immortal King and the God of Wealth from the Heavenly Court disappeared together.

After five thousand years, the big white dog returned with injuries, running to Dragon Tiger Mountain seeking help.

In the end, Hu Potato and Su Wan’er followed the big white dog away.

After seven thousand years, the situation for the big white dog was becoming increasingly dire.

This time, while spitting bl**d, it sought out allies.

Chen Xiang and Yin Qi were taken by the big white dog, but Ziyan was forcibly left behind.

After eight thousand years, this time it was directly struck down by someone.

Seeing that the Eight Desolates Nine Domains could no longer find powerful allies, the big white dog pondered for a long time and ultimately made a trip to the Land of Reincarnation.

However, this time, the big white dog did not get the help it desired, and reluctantly had to let Ziyan step forward.

After Ziyan left, a sigh echoed from the Land of Reincarnation, followed by a dialogue.

“Are you really going to save him?”

“Yes.”

“Isn’t it better if he dies?”

“It would indeed be a good thing if he died, but if he dies, I lose.”

“Do you have any confidence?”

“Not much, this time he has provoked some significant figures.”

“Do you think he will win?”

“He always manages to win; this time, it’s just a small setback.”

“The Undertaker will lose, but he will always make a comeback.”

Once finished, Fu Yao, the controller of the Land of Reincarnation, departed.

With so many significant figures being pulled away in succession, the Eight Desolates Nine Domains began to tremble.

However, the overall structure still maintained some prosperity under the Heavenly Court.

After ten thousand years, a meteor streaked across the sky and then crashed down fiercely to the earth.

“Boom!”

The massive impact created a huge pit in the ground.

A bloodied and mangled figure resembling a lurking evil spirit crawled out from the pit.

Looking up at the sky, the man coldly said, “This is the second time I have been struck down from above.”

“In the Ascension Road battle, I, Chen Changsheng, was thrown down from above; in less than ten thousand years, I turned the Three Thousand Continents upside down.”

“This time, I will make you all regret coming into this world.”

Having said that, the heavily injured Chen Changsheng identified the direction and walked towards Dragon Tiger Mountain.

……

Dragon Tiger Mountain.

“Master, this is last year’s total income report. The industries under Dragon Tiger Mountain have made a profit of seven hundred and eighty million Divine Source.”

A little Taoist was reporting the income situation to the Old Celestial Master.

At that moment, a disciple rushed in and said, “Master Ancestor, there’s a beggar outside who is specifically asking to see you.”

Hearing this, the Old Celestial Master waved his hand and said, “It’s probably just a Daoist friend seeking a way out; let your Third Senior Brother handle it.”

Upon hearing this, the little disciple hesitated and said, “But he has the Dragon Tiger Mountain Celestial Master talisman.”

“Swipe!”

At these words, the Old Celestial Master stood up abruptly.

There are only two Celestial Master talismans from Dragon Tiger Mountain, one main and one auxiliary.

The auxiliary talisman was personally handed to Chen Changsheng, who had yet to regain his memory at that time.

The intention was to make it easier for Chen Changsheng when he went to the Land of Reincarnation.

However, circumstances had changed repeatedly, and the overall situation had exceeded the control range of Dragon Tiger Mountain.

And this talisman had remained with Chen Changsheng.

Now that the talisman had reappeared, it indicated that the long-lost Chen Changsheng had returned.

Contemplating this, the Old Celestial Master sighed lightly and said, “Pass it down; Dragon Tiger Mountain will close its doors to guests starting today.”

The little disciple asked in confusion, “Master Ancestor, why?”

“Because the debt collector has arrived.”

……

In the small courtyard of Dragon Tiger Mountain.

“Hu~”

The Old Celestial Master slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air and said, “I’ve managed to stabilize your injuries temporarily.”

“With your abilities, you should be able to recover given some time.”

Hearing this, the ragged Chen Changsheng looked at the Old Celestial Master and said, “Old Celestial Master, if it’s just for healing, then I wouldn’t come to find you.”

“You know what I want—simple words, will you help or not?”

Hearing this, the Old Celestial Master smiled wryly and said, “Bai Ze has returned so many times; I do have some awareness of it.”

“It brought so many people and still didn’t resolve the situation; what can a small Dragon Tiger Mountain do?”

“One Dragon Tiger Mountain alone won’t cut it, so this time I’ll seek help from others.”

“The reason I came to Dragon Tiger Mountain first is simply that I’m nearby.”

Looking at the determined gaze of Chen Changsheng, the Old Celestial Master pursed his lips and said, “You are one of us in this Crimson Realm. If you are bullied outside, we naturally have to help you get back at them.”

“But the question is, you need to tell us what happened.”

Facing the Old Celestial Master’s inquiry, Chen Changsheng remained calm and replied, “After I left the Eight Desolates Nine Domains with Huafeng, we just kept moving outward.”

“At the edge of the Void, Huafeng used her Heavenly Mandate as a bridge to open up a path.”

“It was only at that moment I understood why I had never found a way to leave the Eight Desolates Nine Domains.”

“Because to leave this realm, one must use the Heavenly Mandate as a bridge, or one must reach the power of the Heavenly Mandate themselves.”

“And what happened later? Didn’t the Phoenix Emperor protect you?”

“After leaving this realm, Huafeng departed because she had her own matters to attend to.”

“And I ventured to explore the external realms.”

Hearing this, the Old Celestial Master cast a puzzled glance at Chen Changsheng and said, “I wouldn’t doubt your actions.”

“However, you should have been cautious at first; what exactly did you do out there?”

Looking at the Old Celestial Master’s suspicious gaze, Chen Changsheng grinned and said, “Nothing much, just dug up their ancestral graves.”

At these words, the eyelids of the Old Celestial Master began to twitch uncontrollably.

“If this were something Bai Ze would do, I could still understand, but you shouldn’t have done this.”

“Under normal circumstances, I certainly wouldn’t, but who asked them to provoke me?”

“After going outside, the first thousand years were quite peaceful until we were discovered by the Deadly Valley, and then the flames of war broke out.”
