There's Something Wrong With My Immortal Path

Chapter 16: One Finger

This is... the Ice Spirit Root!

He Niansheng actually has a different type of Spirit Root!

If I could extract his Spirit Root...

Thinking of this, Xia Ming shook his head fiercely.

What are you thinking, Xia Ming!

He can kill you with just one finger!

He Niansheng actually made a move against a senior disciple!

Master...

This is my master, Xia Ming.

To be so decisive in killing, it's terrifying just to think about it!

In the midst of Xia Ming's shock, Li Dahua was not doing well either.

His face was pale and green at the moment.

With He Niansheng making a move, can Li Dahua still stay at the Soul Capturing Cliff?

But after a moment of thought, Li Dahua stopped worrying.

He had long stood against Jiang Liang, leading He Niansheng to the Soul Capturing Cliff.

Now... he can only go down this path.

Supreme He!

The rest of my life, Li Dahua depends on you!

...

Under the concerned gaze of Xia and Hu, He Niansheng's blood-stained fingertip lightly touched Jiang Liang's forehead.

In an instant, silence fell all around, and Xia Ming and Li Dahua held their breath.

Could it be?

Does He Niansheng still want to kill Jiang Liang?

Jiang Liang, as the person involved, felt like his liver and gall were about to split.

He could feel the pure killing intent emanating from He Niansheng.

In other words, He Niansheng really wants to kill him.

How dare he!

Is He Niansheng really fearless?

Jiang Liang really wanted to escape.

But he couldn't.

The spreading white frost directly bound him in place.

With Core Formation cultivation overpowering Foundation Building Late Stage, it was as easy as lifting a finger.

In Jiang Liang's terrified gaze, He Niansheng's blood-stained finger lightly touched his forehead.

Tap.

Jiang Liang could even feel the strange slipperiness.

That was his own blood.

Hoo... hoo...

I'm still alive.

Jiang Liang, who had survived a calamity, hadn't even had a chance to catch his breath when he heard a contemptuous whisper in his ear.

"Hmph... Jiang Liang, Jiang Liang."

"If the Great River Sect follows the rules, then why isn't it called the Rule Sect?"

"You, a little yellow-haired child, a stupid fish in still water, what do you know about the vastness of the world?"

Casually glancing at Xia Ming and the others not far away, He Niansheng slowly said,

"The Great River Sect is the grand lineage of my ancestors! You are all my vassals!"

Boom.

Jiang Liang felt his eardrums ringing and his mind shaking.

The surging blood distorted Jiang Liang's face, and bloodshot veins appeared in his eyes.

Ignoring Jiang Liang's reaction, He Niansheng continued walking towards Xia Ming.

Li Dahua, who was standing beside him, was trembling even more.

When He Niansheng said those words, he didn't lower his voice, and Li Dahua heard them clearly.

From his words, Li Dahua recalled a long-standing story.

It was a story that the older generation told him when he was young.

Li Dahua knew from a young age that there were immortals on the mountain.

And he had always dreamed that one day, he could become an immortal too.

The old people said that the immortals on the mountain all came from the He Clan.

This "He" character is not the river in Great River, but the surname He.

A long, long time ago, it is said that four brothers wandered to this place.

They had distant masters, extraordinary skills, and especially the eldest brother He had the ability to move mountains and fill seas.

At that time, Xizi Cangzhou was full of wild beasts, and powerful forces were everywhere.

These four brothers fought bloody battles for decades and finally carved out their own territory.

Conquering a kingdom is difficult, but defending it is even harder. Later on, the leader He lost his life in the Bai Cang River, leaving no trace of his remains.

Afterwards, the descendants of these four brothers gradually established the Da He Clan bit by bit.

The Jiang, Hu, and Hai clans all respect the He clan.

However, as time passed, the He clan gradually declined.

And the words "Da He" transformed from a surname into the Bai Cang River.

...

Could it be that all of this is true?

In a state of fear and panic, Li Dahua caught sight of He Niansheng's receding figure.

He also looked at the frozen Jiang Liang, and in the end, Li Dahua made up his mind.

He knew that he, Li Dahua, could not remain neutral in the struggle between the major clans.

He could only tightly hold onto one powerful thigh.

He would go all the way to the end.

Stepping forward quickly, Li Dahua bowed respectfully.

"Elder, Li Dahua has long admired the Qing Elixir Peak. I am willing to serve as a loyal follower and hope that you can..."

Before Li Dahua could finish speaking, a cold gaze pierced directly towards him.

The gaze was as sharp as a cold blade, cutting through flesh and skin.

"Upon arriving at Qing Elixir Peak, announce my name, and what you desire will be granted."

Upon hearing these words, Li Dahua immediately kowtowed to the ground.

"Disciple Li Dahua, I thank Elder Niansheng!"

Ignoring the bowing Li Dahua, He Niansheng waved his hand and flew into the distance with Xia Ming.

Speaking of which... this was Xia Ming's first time flying in the air, and it was also his first time overlooking this land.

With towering peaks, white snow, pavilions and towers, long bridges like dragons, and winding paths like rainbows.

Truly a magnificent and ethereal scene.

Looking into the distance, a white river seemed to connect with the sky.

Presumably, that was the Bai Cang River that traversed the West Zicao Province.

It was so wide... so wide...

Looking up, the galaxy sparkled and stretched endlessly.

For a moment, Xia Ming's heart was filled with boundless ambition.

This is what it means to be an immortal!

Free and unrestricted, able to go anywhere in the world!

The splendor of mountains and rivers reflects my lofty aspirations, while the brilliance of the galaxy hides my pure dreams!

Seeing Xia Ming's reaction, He Niansheng's eyes flashed with a strange expression.

Disciple... disciple... how should I teach my disciple?

It had been too long, and He Niansheng had already forgotten many things.

After hesitating for a moment, He Niansheng spoke again:

"For those who are like Jiang Liang, suppress them. For those who are like Li Dahua, gather them."

"Disciple Xia Ming, I will follow the teachings of my master."

"After returning to the mountain, I will pass on my techniques to you. You are still too weak."

"Thank you, Master!"

If the first sentence was just a perfunctory response, the second sentence from Xia Ming came from the bottom of his heart.

...

Not long after He Niansheng left, Li Dahua also slipped away.

He didn't want to stay in this ghostly place any longer.

As the cold wind blew, Jiang Liang's body suddenly made a crackling sound.

The frost shattered, and Jiang Liang fell to his knees, violently spitting out a mouthful of black blood.

In that thick black blood, there were faintly visible ice particles emitting a chilling aura.

With a resentful gaze towards Qing Elixir Peak, Jiang Liang clenched his fists and fiercely pounded the ground.

He Niansheng! He Niansheng!

Do you still think this is the Great River Sect of the past?

As a Golden Core stage cultivator trapped in a difficult situation, how many more years can you live?

The Elder of the Great River Sect is not just you!

With his mind made up, Jiang Liang swallowed a healing pill.

After stabilizing his injuries, he soared into the sky on his flying sword, heading straight for the sect's main hall.

...

In the end, He Niansheng settled Xia Ming in a secluded valley on Qing Elixir Peak.

Inside the valley, there was a clear spring, old vines, and a small courtyard, giving off a secluded and reclusive feeling.

After settling Xia Ming, He Niansheng went straight to the top of Qing Elixir Peak.

At the top of Qing Elixir Peak, the cold moon hung high, and the pine and cypress trees were covered in frost, with a chilling wind blowing.

In the cold moonlight, a man stood with his hands behind his back.

He had been waiting here for a long time.
