Rebirth of the Supreme Immortal Emperor

Chapter 1647 - 1644: Wuji City

Li Chen and Bai Wuji flew together on the White Star for almost an hour, approximately twenty thousand miles, and arrived before a city.

Above, the words "Wuji City" were written in a flamboyant style.

Actually, rather than calling it a city, it might be more accurate to call it a fortress.

All the city walls were constructed using natural boulders.

The houses inside the city, aside from some simple wooden buildings, were mostly stone caves carved from boulders, resembling primitive cave dwellings.

Li Chen took a glance and saw that there were not many people inside. Counting men, women, the elderly, and children, there were only over a hundred thousand people.

At the city gate, there were more than a dozen guards dressed in animal skins, armed with knives and steel forks.

Seeing strangers intruding, the leader stepped forward and shouted.

"Stop, who are you, and why have you come to our Wuji City?"

However, before they could finish speaking, Bai Wuji interrupted with a harsh shout.

"Impudent, don’t you even recognize me, Xiao Sanzi?"

Upon seeing Bai Wuji, this group of patrolling guards shivered involuntarily.

They hurriedly bowed and saluted: "Greetings, City Lord!"

Bai Wuji ignored them and instead approached Li Chen obsequiously.

"Divine Monarch, this is Wuji City!"

Li Chen saw the elderly, the weak, and the sick inside the city and didn’t believe they were a group of Star Thieves, so he asked: "Have your generations always lived here?"

Bai Wuji shook his head and replied: "No, we migrated here from other Star Domains. At that time, only a few hundred clan members followed my grandfather here. It took hundreds of years of proliferation and development to reach this scale."

Upon hearing Bai Wuji’s explanation, Li Chen suddenly understood.

Bai Wuji hastily invited Li Chen into his City Lord Manor, treating him like an honored guest.

That night, an elderly man with white hair, leaning on a cane, walked into the City Lord Manor.

Bai Wuji introduced the man as his grandfather, named Bai Cang.

Back then, his grandfather was only a step away from becoming a Mahayana Divine Monarch, but was ambushed by enemies while breaking through, leaving him unsuccessful.

Although he later survived, his cultivation drastically declined.

Now, he only has the cultivation of the Late-stage Divinity Transformation.

Li Chen glanced at Bai Cang and said: "You sacrificed a strand of Divine Soul to forcibly extend your life. If you don’t replenish this strand of Divine Soul, you won’t have more than three years left!"

Hearing Li Chen’s words, Bai Cang was shocked, his dim eyes widened like bright stars.

Bai Wuji was horrified upon hearing that his grandfather had only three years left.

"Divine Monarch, you are an expert of this era, is there a way to save my grandfather?"

Li Chen nodded and replied: "Yes, I can not only extend his life but also restore his strength, perhaps even break through the Life and Death Shackles into the Mahayana Realm, it’s not impossible!"

Hearing how increasingly outrageous Li Chen’s words were, both Bai Wuji and Bai Cang were stunned, speechless for a long time.

After a while, Bai Wuji was the first to recover his senses, and he immediately bowed to Li Chen.

"Divine Lord Li, as long as you can save my grandfather, whether it’s a mountain of knives or a sea of fire, I promise not to flinch!"

During that family disaster, Bai Wuji’s parents perished, and he was raised by his grandfather.

Therefore, the bond between the grandfather and grandson is deeply affectionate. As long as he can keep his grandfather alive, he would even die for it.

Seeing Bai Wuji express himself in this way, Li Chen smiled satisfactorily.

"Alright, as long as Wuji City is willing to work for me, I can agree to your request!"

Li Chen referred not to Bai Wuji alone, but to the entire Wuji City.

Upon hearing Li Chen’s words, both Bai Wuji and Bai Cang were stunned again.

They never expected Li Chen’s appetite to be so large, wanting to swallow Wuji City whole.

Bai Wuji had witnessed Li Chen’s strength on the Black Star.

If they refused, who knew if Li Chen would become enraged?

At that time, their entire Wuji City might meet the same fate as Jin Jiji’s group, completely destroyed.

Moreover, Li Chen proposed a deal that Bai Wuji simply could not refuse.

With this in mind, Bai Wuji did not hesitate and immediately bowed to Li Chen.

"Alright, Divine Lord Li, as long as you can save my grandfather, we are willing to pledge our allegiance unto death!"

Seeing Bai Wuji’s expression, Li Chen nodded in satisfaction.

Then, he turned his gaze to Bai Cang.

"Old Master, what is your opinion?"

Although the old man felt reluctant, upon hearing his grandson Bai Wuji address Li Chen as "Divine Monarch," he understood that this was a force he couldn’t provoke.

If he refused, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Moreover, Li Chen’s conditions were indeed tempting.

However, he was a bit skeptical whether Li Chen was simply lying to them with exaggerated claims.

"Divine Lord Li, can you truly replenish my Divine Soul and let me re-enter the Mahayana Realm?"

Hearing the doubt in Bai Cang’s tone, Li Chen smiled, exuding confidence, "Of course, and I can replenish your Divine Soul right now!"

Upon hearing Li Chen’s words, Bai Cang was greatly shocked.

"Is this true?"

Li Chen nodded and replied: "Naturally true!"

Bai Wuji saw Li Chen’s confident assurance and felt a rush of excitement.

He paced back and forth, rubbing his hands, "Divine Lord Li, do you need any items? I’ll go prepare them right away."

Li Chen shook his head and answered: "No need!"

After saying this, he directed his gaze at Bai Wuji, instructing: "You go outside and act as protector. No matter what happens, do not let anyone intrude!"

Upon hearing Li Chen’s command to keep his distance, Bai Wuji hesitated.

He was worried about his grandfather’s safety.

However, he then thought, if Li Chen truly meant harm, based on his strength, he could act directly and wouldn’t need to use such low tactics.

Further, with Li Chen capable of killing Jin Jiji with a single punch, whether Bai Wuji was present or not, the result would be the same.

Understanding this critical point, Bai Wuji relaxed, bowed to Li Chen, and left.

Immediately, only Li Chen and Bai Cang remained in the large room.

At this moment, Bai Cang was also quite excited.

He forced himself to calm down and asked: "Divine Lord Li, what should I do now?"

Li Chen thought for a moment and replied: "Do nothing, empty your Soul Sea, and no matter what anomaly you sense, do not try to resist. Understand? Otherwise, if you encounter any backlash, all consequences are your own!"

Bai Cang solemnly nodded, showing he understood.
