Chapter 2457
2457 Jue Wuying
Cangyun Mountain.
At the foot of the mountain, there was a short and simple straw hut. A special smell came from within, like medicinal herbs mixed with the smell of blood.
“Ziyi, leave now. Don’t bother about me.”
In the room, an old man leaned against the head of the bed with a pale expression. He said weakly, “I feel uneasy. I can already smell the scent of danger.”
The old man was severely injured and his blood qi was depleted—his combat strength was completely gone.
However, he had cultivated for many years and felt an inexplicable sense of danger, as though it was his instinct!
“Master, recuperate in peace. We’ll leave together when the time comes!”
A purple-robed woman knelt in front of the old man and whispered with a lowered head.
The two of them were Perfected Immortal Burial Night and Feng Ziyi.
Although Feng Ziyi’s head was lowered, Perfected Immortal Burial Night could still sense the sadness in her heart.
“Cough, cough, cough! Ziyi, don’t be sad.”
Perfected Immortal Burial Night let out a violent cough and his breathing was heavy. “I know my body’s condition. I won’t be able to recover.”
“I don’t have much lifespan to begin with. Even if I’m not injured, I won’t be able to live for more than a few years. Right now, I’m just leaving slightly earlier.”
“The lifespan of a Perfected Immortal is 500,000 years. Ever since I ascended, I had a glorious time with your grandfather in the Divine Firmament Immortal Domain. I was only a step away from achieving greatness!”
“I’m satisfied with the life I had.”
“However, it’s a pity that I won’t be able to assist Brother Feng in the Fiend Domain from now on.”
Feng Ziyi was expressionless.
She had lost her parents at a very young age. Furthermore, she had witnessed them die with her own eyes. That caused an irrecoverable wound in her heart.
Ever since then, she had been silent.
Coupled with the fact that she cultivated many cultivation techniques of Hidden Death Sect, she became even colder and guarded against everyone.
She seemed to have lost her ability to feel fear, sadness, laughter… and everything else.
Even though she was sad at the moment and was unwilling to leave, she did not reveal any emotions.
She merely guarded Perfected Immortal Burial Night obstinately.
That was despite the fact that she knew the two of them would be in greater danger the longer they stayed here!
Suddenly, Perfected Immortal Burial Night sighed. “Brother Feng, back when you were trapped in Absolute Thunder City, I did not manage to protect Yunzhou and Xuansu well. All these years, I’ve always felt guilty.”
“Master, it’s not your fault.”
At the mention of those two names, Feng Ziyi felt as though her heart was pierced by something.
Feng Yunzhou and Lu Xuansu were her parents.
Perfected Immortal Burial Night said, “Ziyi, head to the Fiend Domain. Go now! With Brother Feng around, he’ll definitely be able to protect you completely. You’re his last and only kin in this world!”
“None of you will leave today.”
Right then, a voice sounded from outside the house. It was a little cold and its direction was unpredictable, as though it was omnipresent!
When he heard that voice, Perfected Immortal Burial Night’s expression changed slightly and he clenched his fists instinctively.
Suddenly!
A violent gust of wind blew past and the straw hut collapsed.
Feng Ziyi conjured a ball of Essence Qi and protected Perfected Immortal Burial Night.
Before long, the dust dispersed.
Dozens of figures stood in midair with powerful auras. Although their positions seemed relaxed, they had already surrounded the place!
Their leader wore a bamboo hat and a black cloth covered his face, revealing only a pair of long and cold eyes.
It was Jue Wuying, one of the three great sword immortals of the Divine Firmament Immortal Domain!
In the distant horizon, thousands of Heaven Execution Guards were speeding over and were about to arrive!
When he saw that lineup, Perfected Immortal Burial Night’s eyes were filled with despair.
There was no chance.
Even in his peak condition, it would be difficult for him and Feng Ziyi to escape from such an encirclement!
Perfected Immortal Burial Night held his breath and stood up slowly. He looked at the bamboo hat man in the lead in midair and said, “Jue Wuying, I’ll leave my life in your hands today! However, on account that we were once master and disciple, please spare her life.”
“This child is only a Grade 3 Heaven Immortal. She’s not a threat to you at all.”
Perfected Immortal Burial Night looked at Feng Ziyi beside him and panted.
“Master, there’s no need to beg him!”
Feng Ziyi said expressionlessly.
“Don’t worry about that. At the very least, she won’t die now.”
Jue Wuying said, “We’ll use her to lure Feng Cantian out. At that time, we’ll send the two of them on their way.”
Jue Wuying was emotionless as well when he spoke.
“Jue Wuying!”
Perfected Immortal Burial Night took a deep breath and suddenly hollered, “Back then, I saved you because I saw that you were pitiful. Your skills were all imparted by me! To think that you would be such an ungrateful dog who would betray your master for glory!”
“If you had not betrayed Remnant Night back then, how would Xuansu have fallen into the hands of the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom? In that battle, Yunzhou would not have lost to the heir of King Jin as well!”
Jue Wuying wore a mask and a bamboo hat so no one could see his face.
However, his long and narrow eyes that were exposed became even sharper!
Jue Wuying said, “Old thing, you guys were way too naive and laughable back then. To think that you would want to create Remnant Night to fight against the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom.”
“I’ll definitely not do something like striking a stone with an egg.”
“You guys had a death wish, but not me!”
When Perfected Immortal Burial Night heard that, he could not help but curse, “Ungrateful dog thief, you won’t have a good ending!”
“Is that so?”
Jue Wuying said indifferently, “Unfortunately, you won’t be able to see it. I’ll kill you first today!”
“Hold on!”
Right then, a voice sounded.
Immediately after, hundreds of cultivators sped over. Although their leader was a man, he was extremely good-looking—it was Xie Qingcheng of the Yan Yang Immortal Kingdom!
He had been watching in the vicinity a long time ago but did not appear.
His hundreds of cultivators were all Heaven Immortal experts and none of them were Perfected Immortals. Compared to the side of the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom, the difference in strength was immense.
That was the reason why he did not appear right away.
But now that Perfected Immortal Burial Night was in danger, Xie Qingcheng couldn’t care less and could only grit his teeth and stand out.
If he was not wrong, the people from Heaven and Earth Academy should be rushing over. He had to buy as much time as possible.
“It’s best not to be a busybody if you’re unrelated.”
Jue Wuying glanced at Xie Qingcheng and said coldly.
He had long noticed Xie Qingcheng and the others but did not expose them.
That was because these people were nothing and posed no threat to him.
Xie Qingcheng smiled gently and cupped his fists towards the Perfected Immortal experts of the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom, declaring loudly, “I’m Xie Qingcheng, a prince of the Yan Yang Immortal Kingdom.”
“I’m here for something important. I want to invite Perfected Immortal Burial Night and Miss Feng to make a trip to the capital of the Yan Yang Immortal Kingdom’s capital.”
Perfected Immortal Burial Night and Feng Ziyi glanced at Xie Qingcheng in confusion.
The two of them did not know this good-looking prince at all and did not know why he would suddenly appear.
Furthermore, Xie Qingcheng seemed to be on their side.
“There’s no need to mention the Yan Yang Immortal Kingdom or your title as a prince.”
Jue Wuying said indifferently, “You don’t even have a single Perfected Immortal by your side. If I’m not wrong, you’re just an idle prince!”
Although Xie Qingcheng’s expression was unchanged after being seen through, he lamented internally.
