There's Something Wrong With My Immortal Path

Chapter 124: Scaring the Demon, Master and Disciple Set Out on a Journey.

Just at the moment when Atun appeared.

Falling Immortal Peak.

In the shocked gazes of the twelve remaining immortals, a faint light appeared once again in the center of the hall. It wasn't a flame, but strands of tiny sparks.

Seeing this scene, the hall fell into silence. Either there was a flame or there wasn't, so what were these sparks?

After a moment, a low whisper came from the high seat.

"Demon... He consumed the bloodline of an immortal, using the blood of an immortal to conceal his True Spirit."

"Daoist Taiping, please make sure to eradicate the root."

...

Qingdai Peak, inside the alchemy room.

Xia Ming silently watched Atun in front of him.

In a daze, an incredibly absurd thought emerged in Xia Ming's mind.

He felt... that Atun was also an illusion created by Goldfinger!

What exactly was Goldfinger?

The person in the darkness said it was his eyes.

Master Heneisheng said it was a cognitive disorder caused by a mutation of the soul.

Previously, Xia Ming thought it was a variation in his brain structure, affecting his visual and cognitive modules.

But when Xia Ming saw the slender worms inside Master Heneisheng's Gold Core, his speculation became even more firm.

Xia Ming believed that Goldfinger might be a parasitic organism in the brain, and it was alive.

Because it was trying to influence Xia Ming.

Whether it was Mochuan's reaction or the illusion of the Immortal's Crossing, they were all trying to manipulate Xia Ming's thoughts.

So, what was Atun?

Thinking of this, Xia Ming's divine sense turned into a sword and directly pierced the True Spirit blood symbol in his mind.

Perhaps he had consumed too many Blood Pills.

Or maybe it was for some other reason.

Xia Ming acted decisively, without any hesitation.

With just this one strike, Atun's figure dimmed by half.

An overwhelming wave of pain surged forth. Looking at Xia Ming's incredibly gloomy gaze, Atun didn't dare to make a sound.

Terrifying True Demon!

Is this the warning to me, Atun?

Oh, unpredictable adult.

While Atun was lost in his thoughts, Xia Ming's voice quietly sounded.

"Atun, don't blame me. I've been a bit too sensitive lately. I always feel like you're a bit fake, so I wanted to test it out."

Hearing Xia Ming's words, Atun's body trembled even more.

True Demon emphasizes the physical body and disregards the soul.

In order to control a powerful physique, the True Demon will use obsession to cultivate and command the physical body.

True Demon once said: My path is consistent!

In Xia Ming's actions, it seemed to Antun that it was a signal of the integration of demonic thoughts.

The more extreme the demonic thoughts, the stronger the True Demon.

Bowing respectfully to Xia Ming, Antun said with great awe:

"Any decision made by the Lord is correct, and the Lord does not need to explain anything to Antun."

"You are the only True Immortal in Antun's heart..."

Demons are best at manipulating people's hearts.

As Xia Ming looked at Antun in front of him, he slowly narrowed his eyes.

While Xia Ming was staring at Antun, behind Xia Ming, Muchuan was also quietly watching Xia Ming.

Blinking his clear eyes, Muchuan's gaze slowly shifted to Antun in front of Xia Ming.

Muchuan could clearly see that this little troublemaker was corrupting Xia Ming.

Xia Ming is clearly so obedient...

As Muchuan's gaze tightened, Antun felt the surrounding space collapsing on him, it was terrifying!

True Demon! Perhaps only True Demon could have such pressure!

Did I say something wrong again?

Thinking back to the past, Antun also followed True Demon.

In that battle, he also fought in several immortal continents, drinking the blood of living beings.

And now...

Boom—

In the midst of Antun's panic, he heard a crisp cracking sound.

Antun felt as if his True Spirit had shattered.

"Antun..."

With Xia Ming's voice, the boundless pressure dissipated, and Antun, who felt like he had been granted amnesty, quickly prostrated himself on the ground.

"Lord! Master! Master! I spoke wrongly! I beg the master's forgiveness!"

After taking a deep look at Antun, Xia Ming slowly spoke.

"Antun, what I want is not a demon who only knows how to flatter."

"Master! Master! Antun was wrong!"

Ignoring Antun's words, Xia Ming directly handed him the broken sword.

"Come, tell me about this sword."

Respectfully taking the broken sword, Antun carefully sensed every fluctuation on the sword.

"Reporting to the master, this sword is a demonic weapon! Someone has forged a layer of Spirit Weapon casing outside the demonic weapon to suppress it! The internal and external seals, the Spirit Weapon and the demonic weapon restrain each other, so this sword has an imposing presence but no power."

Taking the broken sword from Antun's hand, Xia Ming gently brushed over the cold blade with his hand.

Without any movement, Xia Ming looked at Antun again.

"Antun, tell me about demonic weapons."

"Reporting to the master, demonic weapons have no grade, they depend on the user. The stronger the True Demon's blood and qi, the stronger the demonic weapon. However... True Demons have no demonic weapons, because there are no demonic weapons that can bear their blood and qi."

Immortals have Immortal Weapons, but demons do not, so there is a big gap in equipment.

No wonder the Immortal governs the world, and the Demonic Cultivator is nowhere to be seen.

In the midst of his sigh, Xia Ming tightly gripped the broken jade in his hand.

"Alright, I understand, Atun, you should return to the Middle Dantian first. Now that the Immortal is in power, it is not suitable for you to stay outside for too long."

"Atun obeys."

It was precisely because of Xia Ming's inconspicuous little movement that Taiping, thousands of miles away, lost its target directly.

Looking at the dim compass in his hand, Taiping, who was usually calm and composed, was also somewhat unsettled at this moment.

Cunning demon!

In fact, Xia Ming's thoughts were quite simple.

Atun was just a demonic thought, without a physical body.

Releasing him could likely cause trouble, after all, this guy's values were not right.

By keeping him in the Middle Dantian, he could be more obedient, and Xia Ming could keep an eye on him at all times.

More importantly, Xia Ming still needed Atun to provide Qi Refining blood to drive the Immortal Seed.

...

After retrieving Atun, Xia Ming once again examined the broken jade in his hand.

He clenched it tightly, but the broken jade showed no reaction. Blinking his eyes, Xia Ming thought to himself.

Could it be that my blood and qi power is not enough to break the balance?

After swinging it a few times, Xia Ming found that the broken jade was quite handy to use.

Xia Ming made a swipe with the broken jade, and it directly cut a grim mouth on the pill furnace.

Seeing this scene, Xia Ming was stunned.

This broken jade is really sharp!

Gripping the broken jade tightly, Xia Ming took out a First Grade Spirit Sword.

When the two touched, the Spirit Sword directly shattered, and the spiritual essence inside disappeared completely.

What a treasure!

Such a precious treasure!

That baldy from the Liefeng Valley is really a good person!

With joy in his heart, Xia Ming carefully put the broken jade into his storage ring.

It was at this moment that Xia Ming finally noticed his tattered blue robe.

Taking off the light blue robe, Xia Ming hesitated for a while before finally changing into a black suit.

Xia Ming's career as a Dan Master of the Tianhe Sect... is probably coming to an end.

It was also at this time, outside the alchemy room, that the voice of Han Dong'er rang out.

"Master? Master? Are you there?"

"If you're not here, then I..."

Before Han Dong'er finished speaking, the door to the alchemy room suddenly opened.

Looking at Xia Ming inside the alchemy room, Han Dong'er was stunned on the spot.

Xia Ming, dressed in a black suit, was not wearing a mask.

His long hair was tied up, his right eye calm and indifferent, while his left eye was exceptionally enchanting.

Such contrasting feelings, yet perfectly fused in one person.

The intense visual impact made Han Dong'er's heart race uncontrollably.

"Master..."

Seeing Han Dong'er in front of him, a bold idea gradually rose in Xia Ming's heart.

"Dong'er, let me ask you, are you familiar with the terrain here?"

As he spoke, Xia Ming took out a topographic map of mountains and rivers.

This map was drawn by Xia Ming based on the observations recorded in "The Chronicles of the Yunfu Mountain Hermit".

Looking at Xia Ming who leaned closer, Han Dong'er's face turned extremely red, and her body trembled slightly. She tried to calm herself down.

"Master... this should be Lion Rock, the former site of the Bamboo Sword Sect..."

"Bamboo Sword Sect..."

Hearing these three words, a strange look flashed in Xia Ming's eyes.

The Bamboo Sword Sect is not far from the Great River's former site!

Is this fate?

After a moment of silence, Xia Ming suddenly looked at Han Dong'er again.

"Dong'er, are you willing to go out with me..."

After that, Han Dong'er couldn't hear what was said anymore.

Well, those things are not important anyway.

What's important is being with Master!

Without any hesitation, Han Dong'er blurted out.

"Dong'er is willing! Dong'er is willing!"

Feeling Xia Ming's seemingly smiling gaze, Han Dong'er couldn't help but shrink her head in embarrassment.

"Report to Master, Dong'er is willing..."

"Good, Dong'er, go to the sect and make an application. I need to pack up some things."

"Okay!"

Watching Han Dong'er's retreating figure, Xia Ming's gaze gradually became restrained.

This application can only be made by Han Dong'er.

Xia Ming knew very well that the old man Hong Lie would not let him leave easily.

Even if he went out with Dong'er, he would have to wait for the right opportunity.

...

Inside the Tianhe Hall, Hong Lie tightly held the jade slip, sitting motionless in his seat.

"Wu Chang, follow this kid. When necessary... you know what to do."

"Master..."

"Wu Chang! This foundation I obtained in my old age is like my own child."

"Wu Chang... understood."
