Upon hearing Shijia's words, the Immortal Lord was momentarily speechless.
Buddhist Shakya and Taoist Wuji are the top figures in the Buddhist and Taoist world; the Immortal Lord was well aware of this fact.
The Immortal Lord was suppressed by Taoist Wuji at the Gate of the Dead for a hundred years. Their powers were evenly matched; the Immortal Lord couldn't break Wuji's constraints, yet Wuji couldn't kill him either.
Since Shijia is as famous as Wuji, their strengths should be similar, meaning the Immortal Lord and Shijia are also evenly matched. If they were to fight, they could go head-to-head.
However, there is a precondition—the Immortal Lord must be at his peak condition to be evenly matched with Shijia. But having been suppressed for a hundred years, he has only regained less than fifty percent of his strength, while Shijia is well-rested and has lost none of his power. Such a fight would certainly not favor the Immortal Lord!
