At The Beginning, I Counted The Immortal To Death

"Immortal King, spare me. I was just confused for a moment!"

Pao Longtao didn't even dare to lift his head, prostrating on the ground, trembling incessantly out of fear.

But the figure showed no intention of listening to his explanation, raising his hand and pointing at Pao Longtao.

In an instant, a force containing the fluctuations of the law shot through Pao Longtao along his index finger.

The crowd was horrified to see that the immortal, who had a lifespan of thirty thousand years, seemed to be rapidly aging at an indescribable speed.

Pao Longtao, who had appeared as a young man, soon became wrinkled, his hair turned white, until he turned into a pile of bones, which eventually shattered into ashes, blown away by the wind into the heavens and the earth.

And at that moment, the countdown also stopped.

Jiang Bai didn't know whether to be excited or fearful at this moment.

The system was really efficient, as if the King of Hell wanted you dead at three, he wouldn't let you live until five.

What comes will come, without wasting a single second.

But just as he escaped from the tiger's mouth, he entered the wolf's den.

The pressure brought by that figure was even more terrifying.

With just a simple finger, an immortal fell before him.

That was a genuine immortal, and in the entire Heavenly Spirit World, it had been many years since a transcending tribulation flying immortal of such caliber had appeared.

Fortunately, it seemed that the other party was not indiscriminately killing people and did not vent his anger on others.

Jiang Bai kept his head tightly tucked into his chest, kneeling on the ground, not daring to move.

At this moment, Jiang Bai only hoped that after the other party killed Pao Longtao, he would leave directly so that he could take advantage of the chaos and leave the city.

He had realized something after today's events.

Before having absolute strength, it was better not to wander around aimlessly, as he might become a tool for others to vent their anger at any time.

Originally, he had planned to go around giving people fortune-telling in order to accumulate luck points at the fastest speed and reach the peak of life.

But today's events made him realize that it seemed better to keep a low profile and make a fortune quietly. Even if his future path was a bit slower, it was better than losing his life for no reason.

But what you fear will come to you.

The figure landed in front of Jiang Bai with great interest, saying in a gentle tone, "Raise your head."

Jiang Bai knew that the other party was calling him.

He just didn't understand why this seemingly Immortal King figure had singled him out.

But he immediately raised his head.

Still unable to see the face.

Although he was an Immortal King, he didn't give off any airs of superiority.

The other party gave Jiang Bai a feeling of being bathed in a spring breeze.

"Are you a diviner?"

The other party's voice was surprisingly gentle, completely devoid of the killing intent he had shown when he killed Pao Longtao.

"Sort of."

Jiang Bai didn't quite understand whether a diviner meant a fortune-teller, but he seemed to be able to call himself a diviner.

After all, with the system, as long as the other party could afford the price, there was nothing he couldn't divine in the world.

"Just now, did you divine his fortune?"

The other party intended to point at Pao Longtao, but when he turned to look at where Pao Longtao had been lying, he suddenly realized that he had been completely obliterated.

But Jiang Bai also understood what the other party meant.

"I did divine his fortune. I divined his lifespan."

"Indeed." The other party seemed to know it all along.

But Jiang Bai was somewhat puzzled.

It seemed that when he divined Pao Longtao's fortune, it also involved some other things.

Seeing Jiang Bai looking confused, the other party chuckled, didn't explain, and instead flipped his palm, producing a token.

"If you have the chance to ascend to the Immortal World in the future, hold onto this token and come to the Celestial Mechanism Institute in the Black Tortoise Domain of the Immortal World to find me!"

Jiang Bai took the token.

The material of the token couldn't be discerned, neither gold nor wood.

Holding it in his hand felt weightless, yet he could clearly sense it in his hand.

The front was engraved with the two characters "Celestial Mechanism," and the back was a large character "Token."

Jiang Bai stored it properly, feeling that this would be his biggest trump card in the Immortal World, apart from the system.

"The rejection in this lower realm is too severe, I cannot stay for long, otherwise, there will be many problems. I would like to ask you, but it's a pity, it's a pity!"

The other party shook his head, seeming very regretful.

Just as he finished speaking, countless dense and numerous black chains emerged from the black hole in the sky.

The chains swiftly bound the other party and slowly pulled him into the black hole.

The other party didn't resist, allowing the chains to pull him into the black hole.

However, just before disappearing into the black hole, he moved his lips slightly and transmitted to Jiang Bai, "I am Lin Xiao! When I ascend to the Immortal World in the future, you must come to the Celestial Mechanism Institute to find me."

It wasn't until a quarter of an hour after the black hole disappeared that the people of Ascending Immortal City dared to stand up.

Lin Xiao's pressure was too heavy, even though he didn't deliberately exert any pressure.

Just his identity as an Immortal King was an existence that no one in the crowd dared to imagine.

It took a long time for Ascending Immortal City to slowly return to its usual bustle.

"An immortal, dead?"

"I saw it clearly, his soul was completely destroyed!"

"That person, is an Immortal King?"

"It should be, I heard the immortal call him Immortal King before he fell!"

The group of great cultivators who had been following Pao Longtao couldn't calm down for a long time.

Even Jiang Bai was a bit bewildered.

He had just transmigrated, and he had already caused the death of an immortal. It was truly incredible.

Even though he had only divined a fortune, being able to predict the death of an immortal, down to the second, made him feel somewhat unreal.

"Darn it, I should have asked for more divination fees!" he suddenly regretted.

If he had known that the other party would die, he should have charged more divination fees.

Clearly, fifteen thousand spirit stones were not much for that dead guy.

After the regret, he had to consider the current situation.

Originally, after just transmigrating and binding to the system, he had a feeling of being the chosen one.

Instinctively, he felt that he should be the protagonist of the novel, pushing aside all enemies along the way.

But reality had taught him a lesson.

Life is full of surprises, and it's not like the story where the hero saves the day one by one.

This world is too dangerous, and at any time, he might encounter a crisis like today's.

Not every time would be so lucky to encounter an immortal or a passing stranger who could save his life.

He had been careless!

Just as he was about to quietly leave the crowd of great cultivators in Ascending Immortal City, a person in the crowd spoke up.

"Sir, please wait!"

The speaker was a middle-aged man with a gloomy appearance.

This person was Dugu Qing, the lord of Ascending Immortal City, and also the head of the Dugu family.

The others present were all prominent figures in Ascending Immortal City.

"What do you have to say, senior?" Jiang Bai asked nervously.

Even if the other party was not as powerful as an immortal, he was not someone that he, a mere mortal, could deal with at the moment.

Moreover, not everyone would have a bloody disaster or a short lifespan.

He could only handle it carefully and find a way out.
