Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

“Hmph, Brother, you’re absolutely right. That Qing Song is smarter than both of us. He’s always been meticulous in his actions, but this time he’s only given us such simple information. There must be a trick to it!” Even if the round-eyed cultivator was dull, his mind had already turned a corner at this point. After a cold snort, he once again asked the square-faced man, “But Brother, can you guess what Qing Song is actually trying to do?”

“That Qing Song has always been cunning and vindictive. I really can’t fathom what he’s thinking.” Hearing the round-eyed cultivator's question, the square-faced man couldn't help but shake his head.

To be honest, although he had been working for Qing Song all these years, he wasn't stupid. He didn't completely trust Qing Song and often observed him secretly. However, after studying him for more than ten years, all he knew was that Qing Song was an insidious and malicious person, and nothing else.

“Hehe, whatever Brother says is what I’ll do. I’ll listen to Brother in everything.” The round-eyed cultivator grinned foolishly and agreed.

Looking at the round-eyed cultivator's simple and honest appearance, the square-faced man chuckled and said indifferently, “Okay, then we’ve decided. After we finish this job, we’ll cut ties with that Qing Song! As for where to settle down, I’ve already thought about it. Let’s go to the Frozen Demonic Region.”

“Huh? Frozen Demonic Region?” The round-eyed cultivator was slightly stunned and asked in confusion, “Why go there?”

“Hehe, you don’t understand this.” The square-faced cultivator smiled triumphantly and explained, “I heard that the Immortal Cultivation Alliance has recently started attacking the Frozen Demonic Region again, so the Frozen Demonic Region is promising heavy rewards to recruit cultivators from all over the world. We can take this opportunity to join and definitely get a lot of benefits.”

“That’s right, with the Frozen Demonic Region as our backer, we don’t have to rely on that old thief Qing Song anymore.” After hearing this explanation, the round-eyed cultivator nodded immediately as if he had suddenly realized something. However, at this moment, he seemed to have thought of something again, and his face showed doubt, “But will the Frozen Demonic Region really recruit us? You have to know that the kill orders and wanted orders on our two backs are already in the dozens!”

“Hey, what’s so bad about that.” The square-faced man chuckled as if he didn't care at all and said, “Do you remember the Filth Eight Fiends from before? The evil deeds they did were much more than what we two have done. However, the Frozen Demonic Region dares to take in such scum, so how can they not accept us?”

“That’s right!” The round-eyed cultivator clapped his hands and said excitedly, “Compared to those eight scumbags, we two can be said to be as pure as white lotuses, so we can naturally go to the Frozen Demonic Region! Yes, let’s do it!”

Having decided on a place to settle down, the two of them seemed a little excited and no longer worried about anything. They just wanted to finish this last job, go back to collect the bounty, and then immediately set off to the Frozen Demonic Region!

After a sinister laugh, the two no longer hesitated. With a flip of their hands, they each took out a black cloak, draped it over their bodies, and their figures instantly disappeared without a trace.

This cloak was a good thing. It was an ancient treasure they had obtained accidentally. It could conceal their figures, making it impossible for cultivators below the Coagulating Sea Realm to detect their traces.

And it was precisely because of these two cloaks that they dared to do this dangerous business of assassination.

Fortunately, they had never failed in decades, so the courage in their hearts grew stronger.

After putting on their cloaks and concealing their figures, the two of them no longer delayed. Their figures fluttered lightly, like ghosts, and they rushed towards Phoenix Cry Mountain, where the Immortal Devil Sect was located.

However, after flying halfway, the round-eyed cultivator seemed to have remembered something again. He turned his head and said to the square-faced man beside him, “Brother, you mentioned the Filth Eight Fiends just now, which made me a little curious. Why did the Filth Eight Fiends suddenly disappear? They haven’t appeared in the Immortal Cultivation World for the past twenty years. This matter is really strange!”

“It is indeed a bit puzzling.” The square-faced man nodded, frowning tightly, “But I once heard that the reason why the Filth Eight Fiends no longer appeared was because they were killed.”

“No way.” After hearing this, the round-eyed cultivator's eyes widened, with an unbelievable expression, “Each of those eight guys has strength like ours, and with their seamless cooperation, their strength doubles. Even if they encounter cultivators in the late Coagulating Sea Realm, they can retreat unscathed. How could they be killed so easily? Could it be that the legendary Sky Foundation Realm old monster personally took action?”

“It wasn’t an old monster in the Sky Foundation Realm who took action.” The square-faced man shook his head and pondered, “I heard that they were killed by that Yang Ming.”

“What? Yang Ming?” Hearing this name, the round-eyed cultivator's horror grew even stronger, and he said in surprise, “Brother, is the Yang Ming you’re talking about the Yang Ming who was born out of nowhere twenty years ago and shocked the entire Immortal Cultivation World?”

“If it’s not him, could it be someone else?” The square-faced man seemed much calmer and said indifferently, “It is said that the Filth Eight Fiends also went to the Devilish Ruins, and then they were killed by this Yang Ming.”

“Well, if this is true, then I believe it a bit.” After recovering from the shock, the round-eyed cultivator nodded slightly and said, “Twenty years ago, that Yang Ming became famous in the Devilish Ruins and caused a sensation in the entire Immortal Cultivation World. People say that his strength can already be compared with Immortal Cultivation experts like Nie Tianzun and Kong Lingzi. If he took action, he could kill the Filth Eight Fiends.”

“Hey, these are just rumors, and no one knows if they are true or false. Besides, the Chen Tian kid we are going to assassinate now only has the cultivation of the early Coagulating Sea Realm, which is far inferior to Yang Ming, so don’t think too much and kill him as soon as possible, so we can go back and report!”

The square-faced man chuckled softly, and then their speed suddenly increased, rushing towards Phoenix Cry Mountain!
