Chapter 500: Chapter 299: I Usually Like Killing Human Immortals_2
In the time it took for a hare to spring up and pheasant to fall down, everything had been settled. A human immortal vanished between Heaven and Earth. His death was so sudden and seemingly casual that the other two human immortals who witnessed it could hardly believe it.
“This…”
The female immortal, standing on a blossom branch, tightly held her magic tool. An indescribable chill swept over her, causing her soul to shudder involuntarily.
She had shown up here because she’d heard of Ghost Soul Sect’s recent demon elimination actions targeting the mortal world. She hadn’t believed that the three old demons would actually have good intentions and came to investigate, out of curiosity.
She was confident that she could extract herself from any trouble she encountered. However, unexpectedly, the foreseen three old demons had disappeared. The evil immortal, who had a good relationship with them, was killed without any human immortal dignity, as if he were a stray dog slaughtered at will on the roadside. He had displayed no power to resist. This scenario made her tremble involuntarily.
“Fellow daoist Jing Yin, we represent the Profound Righteous Path. We shouldn’t worry too much.”
Looking at the end of the evil immortal, one could probably guess the fate of the three old demons from Ghost Soul Sect. Like a giant made of copper, a divine thought was transmitted to appease the visibly restless female immortal.
“So this is why the Ghost Soul Sect behaved so strangely recently. I really thought the three old demons had repented.”
“Is this genuinely one of us from the Profound Righteous Path?”
Jing Yin looked at the fissure pierced through the world behind the young man in white, and the Immortal Bell above that figure. Her form was slender, but she emitted an extremely frightening force.
She couldn’t be sure, but the post-fissure scene didn’t belong to the worldly sphere or any paradise. It rather reminded her of the legendary underworld. This could explain how the Ghost Soul Sect was destroyed.
After all, these demonic cultivators who refined souls and nurtured corpses must have dealings with the underworld. Perhaps a member offended a terrifying existence in the underworld and attracted attention, leading to catastrophic annihilation.
“Maybe!”
There was rigidity on Xie Ling Daoist’s steadfast and heroic copper-like face. Although he used a divine message to reassure this immortal woman, his heart was filled with unease.
The existence behind the youth had not yet truly arrived here, but it had killed a human immortal with mere bell sounds. While the old monster often acted evilly, his strength was extraordinary. Otherwise, he would not have had the audacity to show up in front of the two of them openly.
But such a veteran Dong Xuan level human immortal, who tried to escape all the way, was disintegrated by only two bell sounds, leaving no remains. The death was terrible.
If this being truly harbored ill intentions towards them and conceived a killing intention, they might not even have the chance to escape. For now, they could only pray that the other party found them pleasing to the eye – after all, they were distinct from the evil Daoist at the Dong Xuan stage.
“How do you want to handle these two human immortals?”
The ruler of You Huang Ghost Country, who had the Phoenix Supreme World Shocking Bell overhead, spoke very domineeringly. As someone who could use a Taoist tool, she had this right.
However, the Phoenix Supreme World Shocking Bell was her biggest trump card. She wouldn’t use it unless it was absolutely necessary. She had only made an exception and taken the shot across realms because Feng Qing’an needed it.
“Predecessors, what do you suggest?”
After a bit of contemplation, Feng Qing’an courteously saluted the two human immortals standing outside the mountain gate, who were too shocked to know how to react or dared not move.
“As fellow daoist probably knows about my background, Immortal Jing Yin here is also the supreme elder of an Immortal Sect adjacent to the Ghost Soul Sect. Recently, we’ve heard about the unusual activities of the Ghost Soul Sect. Therefore, out of curiosity, we teamed up to come here and investigate.”
Xie Ling Daoist glanced at Jing Yin, who looked tense as a peach flower on a show-off day, sighed inwardly, and then began to speak slowly.
“Since the two predecessors have understood the reason for this change, are you satisfied?”
A faint smile hung on Feng Qing’an’s face, like a spring breeze in March. These two human immortals would have been amazed by Feng Qing’an’s extraordinary temperament if it hadn’t been for the eerie existence behind Feng Qing’an.
“The many changes and unusual behaviors of the Ghost Soul Sect must be your doing, young fellow daoist. Now, fellow daoist Jing Yin and I already know everything, and we are satisfied. However, I still have doubts. Would you be willing to clear them up for me?”
“Feel free to ask.”
Feng Qing’an spoke with a gentle smile, his demeanor radiant and transcendent, drawing attention and admiration.
“Where are the three Human Immortals of the Ghost Soul Sect now?”
Even though he knew those three old demons probably met a terrible fate, the initiator was standing right in front of him. And with his mild attitude, seeming open to conversation, there was no point in running. So why not muster up the courage to ask.
“Senior, no need to worry. These three Human Immortals will not appear in the human realm anymore.”
Feng Qing’an spoke in a nonchalant tone, but it made even the mighty bronze giant, capable of moving mountains and displacing ridges, tremble involuntarily, his expression was tense.
Those were three Human Immortals who were almost always together, yet now they’ve met such a tragic end. Judging by the young man’s demeanor, it seemed that living might be even more unbearable for them than death.
“…Are they all still alive now?”
Xie Ling Daoist paused momentarily, then asked tentatively. But as soon as the words were out of his mouth, he wished he could slap himself. They should be seizing the opportunity to leave right now.
Why did he have to ask such questions? After all, the Ghost Soul Sect was doomed to vanish as the three powerful old demons were all captured.
“They’re in a state worse than death. I wonder, senior, do you have ways to extend lifespan for cultivators at the Dong Xuan state? Or perhaps a method to confuse their minds and deter them from seeking death?”
“I’m afraid we’ll have to disappoint you, young fellow daoist. We don’t possess such secret arts.”
Xie Ling Daoist’s voice was a bit hoarse. He tried hard not to imagine what kind of torment and inhuman treatment the three old demons were currently enduring. He only wanted to escape now.
He didn’t want to ever find himself in a situation where he’d prefer death but couldn’t obtain it.
“Alas, there is no choice then. We killed too swiftly, we should have captured the Evil Immortal alive!”
The young man sighed lightly, his voice filled with regret. However, the dangerous aura he exuded rendered Xie Ling Daoist and Immortal Jing Yin uneasy. The boy’s appearance was far from that of a benign character.
“It’s a pity, ah, by the way, you two seniors seem to know that Evil Immortal. Do you know which sect he is from?”
Feng Qing’an’s eyes lit up, seemingly eager to know the answer.
“Just to let young fellow daoist know, that Evil Immortal calls himself Yin Peng Scholar, and he is the sect master of the Corpse-expelling Sect.”
“The sect master? So, are there any other Evil Immortals in that sect?”
The eagerness in the young man’s tone was evident, and the desire in his eyes, as if looking at prey, sent chills down the spines of the two Taoist Human Immortals.
“Just him alone. Young fellow Daoist, now that you have slain him, the sect will probably disintegrate and vanish.”
Xie Ling Daoist strove not to look at the dark crevice behind him, and tried his best to keep a natural demeanor during his conversation with this cryptic white-robed young man.
“Disintegrate? If the cultivators from this Evil Dao sect scatter in all directions, wouldn’t they cause havoc in the world? I wonder if you two seniors have any spare time to exterminate these Evil Dao cultivators.”
