There's Something Wrong With My Immortal Path

Chapter 15: Are You Willing to Become My Disciple?

Qingdan Grand Supreme?

He Niansheng?

Hearing this unfamiliar title, Xia Ming felt completely confused.

He tried hard to recall what he had seen and heard recently, and his expression suddenly became stiff.

Qingdan... Could it be Qing Elixir Peak?

Grand Supreme... Could it be the Grand Supreme Elder?

The Grand Supreme Elder of Qing Elixir Peak, He Niansheng!?

Feeling the terrifying aura surrounding He Niansheng, Xia Ming couldn't help but feel a lump in his throat.

Seeing Xia Ming's reaction, He Niansheng's cold gaze gradually softened.

The Hidden Spirit Root is indeed a good thing.

He must make good use of it.

In the midst of his frozen gaze, He Niansheng's voice sounded again.

"Xia Ming, are you willing to become my disciple?"

He Niansheng's words completely puzzled Xia Ming.

As the Grand Supreme Elder, why would He Niansheng personally come to recruit him as a disciple?

No...

What does he want?

Does he want to learn my technique of hiding corpses?

Or...

Does he know my secret?

The coexistence of multiple Spirit Roots!?

Xia Ming hesitated, and the cold aura around He Niansheng intensified.

Oh no!

He Niansheng is losing patience.

Realizing that something was wrong, Xia Ming quickly put on a surprised and flattered expression.

"Disciple... Disciple Xia Ming... I have no merits or abilities..."

Before Xia Ming could finish speaking, the temperature in the Thirty-Seventh Cave suddenly dropped.

"Disciple Xia Ming! Greetings, Master!"

The bone-chilling cold made Xia Ming immediately bow down.

Before he could kneel down, a big hand directly supported his shoulder.

When Xia Ming looked up, he saw He Niansheng's cold eyes.

"Pack your things and leave with me."

To be honest, Xia Ming didn't have much to pack. He didn't have any possessions.

He took the soul stones, the tool kit, and finally picked up the brass ring.

...

After a while, Xia Ming followed behind He Niansheng, step by step, going up.

Xia Ming had fantasized countless times about leaving the Soul Capturing Cliff, but he had never thought of this scenario.

Fate...

It is truly unpredictable.

Step by step, looking at He Niansheng's not-so-broad back, a terrifying thought suddenly rose in Xia Ming's mind.

Could He Niansheng be the next Jiang Liang?

Will Qing Elixir Peak become the next Soul Capturing Cliff?

Xia Ming didn't know what lay ahead.

He only knew that he had to become stronger as soon as possible.

In this world, personal strength is the only truth.

Stepping out of the Soul Capturing Cliff, the galaxy was incredibly bright, almost within reach.

In the interplay of moonlight and frost, Xia Ming saw two familiar faces: Li Dahuo from the Seventeenth Cave and Jiang Liang, the Elder in charge of the Soul Capturing Cliff.

Li Dahuo had a triumphant look on his face, while Jiang Liang wore a solemn expression, his brows filled with bitterness.

At the sight of these two, Xia Ming furrowed his brow, especially when he caught a glimpse of Li Dahuo's flattering smile, causing ripples in Xia Ming's heart.

He wasn't a fool. With just one glance at the three people in front of him, Xia Ming had already figured out the general situation.

It was Li Dahuo who brought the Grand Supreme Elder He Niansheng here, but their target was me. What makes me so special?

In an instant, Xia Ming thought of the Spirit Root detection stone and the rich aroma of green tea.

With his pupils dilating, Xia Ming grasped the most crucial clue.

Spirit Root!

Li Dahuo noticed that I have a Spirit Root!

And then he brought He Niansheng here, probably because He Niansheng gave him some benefits.

What could attract a Grand Supreme Elder?

A lowly disciple possessing a Spirit Root.

This plot... seems somewhat familiar.

Could it be...

They think I have a Hidden Spirit Root like the Ancestral Spirit Root!

Thinking of this, Xia Ming couldn't help but feel his heart pounding in shock.

He knew very well that he was not a Hidden Spirit Root at all!

He didn't have a Spirit Root at all!

Xia Ming himself couldn't figure out what was wrong with his body.

...

A Hidden Spirit Root can attract a Grand Elder.

If they knew that I have a Nonexistent Spirit Root and a Coexisting Spirit Root...

They would surely devour me alive!

Xia Ming worried, while Jiang Liang from Soul Capturing Cliff was determined.

Cutting off the path to becoming a Human Immortal is like digging up ancestral graves!

What He Nian Sheng is doing is digging up Jiang Xiong's grave!

Jiang Chong once hinted to Jiang Liang that Jiang Xiong's death was also He Nian Sheng's fault.

You killed my grandfather in the past, and now you're cutting off my path to immortality?

If Xia Ming leaves, am I supposed to rely on Li Dahuo?

So what if he's a Grand Elder?

Can you single-handedly oppose the entire sect?

Where is justice?

Where are the rules?

Jiang Liang clenched his fist, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

Taking a deep breath, Jiang Liang walked slowly in front of He Nian Sheng, stopping his figure.

"Grand Elder Nian Sheng, what do you want to do?"

"Xia Ming is my disciple, what do you think I want to do?"

When He Nian Sheng said this, Jiang Liang's face became even colder.

Haha.

After going to Soul Capturing Cliff, Xia Ming became your disciple?

He Nian Sheng, do you really want to cut off my path to immortality?

If I can't handle the affairs of Soul Capturing Cliff...

How can I establish myself in the sect in the future?

How can I repay the cultivation of Grand Elder Jiang Chong?

You are declaring war against my Jiang family!

With these thoughts, Jiang Liang gradually straightened his spine.

In the shocked gazes of others, Jiang Liang calmly said:

"Grand Elder Nian Sheng... this is against the rules."

Rules?

Upon hearing the word "rules," a cold smile gradually appeared on He Nian Sheng's lips.

"Hmph... Hmph..."

He Nian Sheng sneered twice, and the temperature around him dropped even further.

Even though Jiang Liang was at the Foundation Building Late Stage, he couldn't bear it at this moment.

Even if he couldn't bear it, he had to fight!

Can't I really let He Nian Sheng take Xia Ming away?

Then who will collect the bodies in the future?

Li Dahuo?

Or should I do it myself?

Moreover, as a descendant of Jiang Xiong, how can Jiang Liang bow his head in front of He Nian Sheng?

Not every family has a Grand Elder. Great River Sect is not your He Nian Sheng's dictatorship!

With luck in the dantian and courage in the five viscera, Jiang Liang's expression remained unchanged as he continued:

"Grand Elder Nian Sheng, Xia Ming is just a menial disciple of Soul Capturing Cliff, according to the sect's rules..."

"Sect's rules?"

Looking at He Nian Sheng's mocking gaze, Jiang Liang's tone weakened by three points.

"Jiang... Jiang Liang is naturally certain, don't... don't you know?"

After giving Jiang Liang a deep look, the arc at the corner of He Nian Sheng's mouth became even colder.

Then, without any warning, He Nian Sheng's right hand finger pierced through Jiang Liang's shoulder.

The chilling killing intent, accompanied by bone-piercing coldness, erupted in an instant and disappeared in a flash.

By the time Jiang Liang reacted, his whole body was already covered in pale frost.

With just one move, He Nian Sheng silenced Jiang Liang.
