"Ah, no need, no need..."

Spirit Ink Immortal King and Ren An Demon King weren't fools; they could hear the subtext in his words.

Clearly, he wasn't genuinely thankful.

"Yes, it's needed." Brother Cheng was exceedingly enthusiastic.

The two of them and the Immortal Kings behind them waved their hands repeatedly: "There's really no need, Elder Jiang is too courteous."

"No, no, it's what you all deserve."

The more he acted like this, the more everyone felt something was amiss.

"No, no, we feel unworthy of such a favor."

"We never seek anything in return for our good deeds."

Brother Cheng wasn't having it: "Whether you want something in return is your business, I must express my gratitude."

This was too unusual, Spirit Ink and Ren An felt something was very wrong.

The two cupped their hands repeatedly: "We have felt your attitude, goodbye, goodbye..."

Clang!

Brother Cheng suddenly drew out the Tier Nine Immortal Sword, startling everyone, almost thinking a battle might break out.

"Not giving me face, huh?"

"Elder Jiang, you..."

Spirit Ink, Ren An, and the other Immortal Kings quickly assumed defensive postures.

"We didn't mean to!"

"Yes, how would we dare not give you face."

Brother Cheng's gaze turned cold, and he scolded coldly, "I said I wanted to thank you, and you keep backing away, are you looking down on me?"

"We wouldn't dare..."

With things said this far, no one could refuse.

They could only brace themselves and tentatively ask, "How exactly would Elder Jiang like to thank us?"

"That's more like it!"

Brother Cheng finally put away the Immortal Sword, his expression softening considerably.

"Isn't the Middle Immortal Realm quite unstable recently?"

"Uh..."

Spirit Ink Immortal King and Ren An Demon King exchanged a glance, not understanding what he meant by that statement.

They could only nod in agreement.

"Indeed, it's very unstable."

"Yes, if not for the declining morals and deteriorating public order, we wouldn't have come here to protect Feixian Sect."

They didn't forget to offer some flattery.

Brother Cheng nodded: "You're right, the Middle Immortal Realm is too dangerous, the safety of people's property can't be guaranteed, it's really concerning."

Everyone had no idea what he was trying to say, and could only continue to concur.

"Yes, yes..."

"So heartbreaking!"

Brother Cheng took a deep breath, gazed at the vast sky, and let out a long sigh.

"With this in mind, I've decided."

"I'll help you safeguard your rings and Immortal Artifacts for free, as a token of my gratitude!"

He gave everyone a reassuring look, "With me, they won't be taken by those greedy villains, I'll protect them with my life!"

"This way, it counts as returning a favor to you!"

What the!

Can it be done like this?

Everyone present was stunned.

"Hahaha, Sect Leader Jiang is right!"

Xiao Kun Demon King was the first to react, bursting into laughter.

"Such a favor must be repaid, let the elder protect all your treasures to prevent them from being stolen by villains."

Wu Jue, Jiyun, and others laughed heartily too: "Exactly, the elder is truly kind-hearted!"

"You mustn't refuse, otherwise you're not giving Sect Leader Jiang face!"

Initially, they had been seething inside due to the upside-down logic on the other side.

If Brother Cheng weren't there, they would've acted out in anger long ago.

Now, Brother Cheng's 'retaliation' was exceedingly satisfying.

Weren't you saying the siege was protection?

Then we can also say robbery is helping safekeep.

Using your logic against you.

This was indeed robbery, Spirit Ink Immortal King and Ren An Demon King were surely well aware.

What safekeeping, once the Immortal Artifacts were in his hands, they would belong to him, never to be retrieved.

Naturally, the two weren't willing to agree.

"No need, no need, we actually can safeguard our belongings..."

"Yes, yes, how could we trouble Elder Jiang!"

But they didn't dare refuse too harshly, having to be somewhat tactful.

Brother Cheng's face darkened, and he waved the sword in his hand.

"Oh, really?"

"Are you sure you can safeguard them?"

"Since you're so confident, how about we do a trial run?"

How would this trial go?

If you come to rob us yourself, we obviously can't guard them.

Such a so-called trial might even lead to being killed.

Just say killing for treasures outright.

Spirit Ink Immortal King and Ren An Demon King had often done such domineering things before; now it was happening to them, how stifling.

"No need, no need, Elder Jiang is right, we really can't safeguard them."

They had the impulse to lash out, but considering Brother Cheng's record, they dared not.

"Since you can't safeguard them, then hand them over to me for safekeeping."

Brother Cheng rubbed his fingers with a sly smile: "This is something I should do, no need for thanks."

The two looked bitter, while the Immortal Kings behind were in deep distress.

Knowing this person wasn't intending to let them go easily.

Without a significant loss, it was impossible to leave alive.

"In that case, we'll have to trouble Elder Jiang..."

Spirit Ink Immortal King trembled as he reluctantly handed over his Tier Seven Immortal Sword and Top-Grade Magical Treasure.

As Brother Cheng was about to accept, a loud laugh suddenly came from behind.

"What a Feixian Sect, what an Elder Jiang!"

"Such blatant banditry in broad daylight, truly infuriates both gods and men!"

Everyone was surprised; in this situation, was there anyone in the Middle Immortal Realm daring to provoke Jiang Cheng?

Turning their heads, Spirit Ink Immortal King and Ren An Demon King's group immediately showed surprise.

The newcomers were the Sect Leader of Infinite Cave Heaven, Spirit Ink Immortal King, and a dozen Immortal Kings.

Although fewer in number, Infinite Cave Heaven was a top-tier Immortal Sect in the Middle Immortal Realm, with first-class resources, possibly having the means to deal with Jiang Cheng.

"Elder Jiang, you're going too far."

Spirit Ink Immortal King elegantly descended on a cloud, his voice slightly tinged with rule's essence, faintly reaching into the depths of the Immortal Soul.

Many disciples of Feixian Sect showed confused expressions because of this.

Yuan Zhen, Yuan Sheng, and others couldn't help but become worried; Infinite Cave Heaven had a colossal reputation.

Should a conflict arise here, it wouldn't bode well for an ascension to the Upper Immortal Realm in the future.

However, such concerns weren't on Brother Cheng's mind.

He didn't know these people at all.

"Old man, are you here to meddle?"

That was a very straightforward question.

Previously, when Feixian Sect was besieged for over a month, why didn't these people step up for justice, yet now they came to criticize?

"Elder Jiang, your words are mistaken!"

Spirit Ink Immortal King twirled his long beard, responding coldly: "First you monopolized 300,000 plus Immortal Fate Orders, cutting off many people's opportunities for ascension!"

"Then you slaughtered numerous Immortal Kings and Immortal Venerables, committing heinous crimes of murder!"

"Now you're extorting fellow practitioners, truly disgraceful!"

Brother Cheng almost laughed.

"Oh, really, and so what?"

"What can you do, are you going to take action?"

"Just talking about justice isn't enough, show me if you have the qualifications."

He raised his Immortal Sword, flying directly in front of the group from Infinite Cave Heaven.

Instantly, the atmosphere turned into a standoff.
