There's Something Wrong With My Immortal Path

Chapter 48: My Little Treasure~

How can I not follow the orders of the Sect Master?

Even though they were enduring the backlash of the sword formation, the cultivators of the Great River Sect still had to comply.

Suppressing their spiritual energy and resisting the sword formation, the cultivators felt as if their internal organs were being tightly squeezed.

In an instant, the fierce Dragon-Slaying Sword light disappeared without a trace.

The Black Quill Forest was in ruins, with only the ink-blood Jiaoqiu in the center, its aura as delicate as a thread.

Xu Weizhou, who was also affected by the backlash of the sword formation, spat out a mouthful of blood.

Without caring to wipe it off, Xu Weizhou looked directly at the Sect Master Haiguo.

"Great River Sect Master! You have to give me an explanation!"

Haiguo's actions were completely that of a hindrance.

If it weren't for the fact that he was the Sect Master, Xu Weizhou would have wanted to curse him out.

Before Xu Weizhou could continue his criticism, Haiguo coldly looked at him.

An oppressive spiritual pressure instantly struck, causing Xu Weizhou's face to turn pale.

"Thank you for your trouble, Fellow Daoist Xu. Now that the Jiao disaster is settled, the Peacock Copper Mine promised by the Great River Sect will naturally be handed over to your sect."

The Jiao disaster is settled?

Haiguo, do you really think I'm blind?

Looking at the ink-blood Jiaoqiu still gasping for breath below, a cold light flashed in Xu Weizhou's eyes.

Before he could think further, the cultivators of the Great River Sect outside once again formed a new formation.

In the center of the formation was the barely alive ink-blood Jiaoqiu.

Seeing this scene, Xu Weizhou could easily guess the intentions of the Great River Sect.

They want to tame the savage beast and use it for themselves?

Hmph!

Arrogant!

Simply arrogant!

The cultivators of the Great River Sect are delusional! Utterly arrogant!

How could those savage beasts, so proud and arrogant, ever submit?

The actions of the Great River Sect are nothing short of digging their own graves!

When the Jiaoqiu retaliates, they will regret it.

Thinking of this, Xu Weizhou sneered.

"Master Haiguo, savage beasts are born and raised in the wild. I don't even recognize them! Please don't do something foolish, Sect Master Haiguo."

"Fellow Daoist Xu, please rest assured. The Great River Sect always acts prudently."

Hearing Haiguo's words, Xu Weizhou couldn't help but feel a sinking feeling in his heart.

Could it be...

Does the Great River Sect really have a way to control savage beasts?

No wonder they were willing to offer the Peacock Copper Mine!

So this is their plan, to use my Bamboo Sword Sect's sword formation to tame this ink-blood Jiaoqiu for their Great River Sect!

What a Great River Sect!

What a Sect Master Haiguo!

However... it's a pity, the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.

Does your Great River Sect really think that my Bamboo Sword Sect wants the Peacock Copper Mine?

What my Bamboo Sword Sect wants is the entire Great River Sect!

Thinking of this, a cold killing intent flashed in Xu Weizhou's eyes.

Having figured out everything, Xu Weizhou couldn't help but feel a sense of fear.

If they really let the Great River Sect take the ink-blood Jiaoqiu, and if Sect Master Haiguo advances to the Nascent Soul stage in the future...

The Great River Sect will have two Nascent Soul cultivators!

Who can stop their rise in the lower reaches of the Bai Cang River?

By then, I'm afraid the Great River Sect will directly target my Bamboo Sword Sect.

The trade of the Peacock Copper Mine has already caused a rift between the two sects.

But... luckily, the heavens bless the Bamboo Sword Sect.

With the Nascent Soul Ancestor personally taking action, even if the Great River Sect's momentum is strong, they will only be annihilated in their cradle.

Nascent Soul, Nascent Soul, this is the foundation of a sect.

...

In fact, Xu Weizhou's guess was correct.

The Great River Sect does indeed possess a method of taming beasts.

And that method of taming beasts was passed down by the late Sect Master Hai.

By a fortunate coincidence, the late Sect Master Hai obtained this secret technique from the Bai Cang River.

And this method of taming beasts has been verified, as the old turtle in the Sanwan River is the product of this technique.

Under the control of the cultivators of the Great River Sect, seal after seal was continuously placed into the body of the ink-blood Jiaoqiu.

Gradually, the Jiaoqiu's blood-red eyes slowly closed, and several cultivators hurriedly stepped forward to help stop its bleeding.

Amidst this busy scene, another voice rang in Tai Shang Jiang Chong's mind.

It was a message transmitted through divine sense, allowing both parties to communicate with each other within a short distance.

Divine sense transmission was just a minor technique, incomparable to Xia Ming's Bluetooth technique.

......

"Jiang Chong, we have no way out anymore."

The messenger was none other than Xu Weizhou from the Bamboo Sword Sect.

Listening to this person's transmission, Jiang Chong let out a long sigh.

Yes.

There has been no way out for a long time.

With Jiang Zhi's death, the Jiang family has become much weaker.

Now, there is only one path left to take.

Presumably, Jiang Liang has already led the secret guards to attack Qing Elixir Peak.

Jiang Chong has no regrets. He only hopes that Jiang Liang can uncover something.

More trump cards, more confidence.

After a moment, Jiang Chong sent a message.

"I ask, Brother Xu, is our agreement still valid?"

"Jiang Chong Fellow Daoist, of course it is valid. Do you not trust the words of our sect's Xu Sect Master?"

"Once Great River Sect becomes a branch sect of our Bamboo Sword Sect, you will be the branch sect's sect master!"

"In that case, I can rest assured."

"When Brother Xu makes a move, just give me a heads up."

"Alright!"

...

At the same time, in the Qingdan Valley, Xia Ming slowly opened his eyes.

Spectacular!

Absolutely spectacular!

One sword slaying the dragon!

One move determining victory or defeat!

The sword move is called Dragon Slayer, and the Sword Intent is also Dragon Slayer!

Although that sword did not completely fall, it left a deep imprint in Xia Ming's heart.

Amidst his astonishment, Xia Ming also thought of the tragic death of Jiang Zhi.

A Core Formation Late Stage cultivator, the Grand Supreme of the Great River Sect, how noble.

To die just like that... soul and flesh annihilated, turning into mist.

Sunrise, worshipped by thousands; sunset, bones turned to dust.

Fame like startled geese, autumn leaves without a trace.

...

This is the world of cultivators, this is the path to immortality.

And this is also the future that Xia Ming is about to face.

Letting out a long sigh, Xia Ming slowly pushed open the door of the grass hut.

Outside, it was gloomy, with low-hanging clouds and a dead silence in the air.

It seems like it's going to rain.

Crushing the Soul Stone, inhaling forcefully, his mind suddenly became clear.

As he sniffed, Xia Ming also caught a strong smell.

It seemed to be... the smell of blood.

Curiously looking around, Xia Ming was surprised to find that the lingering white mist in front of the grass hut seemed to have dissipated a lot.

Looking into the distance, Xia Ming's body trembled.

At the end of his line of sight, Xia Ming saw a man leaning on a sword.

He was dressed in a blood-soaked robe, with even his face covered in a thick layer of blood.

And his eyes were like night owls.

Sinister, fierce.

Those eyes, how could Xia Ming forget.

During the days at Soul Capturing Cliff, Xia Ming feared those eyes day and night.

Those were Jiang Liang's eyes!

At the moment Xia Ming saw Jiang Liang, Jiang Liang also raised his head as if sensing something.

Their eyes met, and fear arose.

Xia Ming's hair stood on end, while Jiang Liang's smile curled up.

Whether it was the Hidden Spirit Root or the Human Pill.

To Jiang Liang, Xia Ming was his lucky charm.

That inexplicable feeling made Jiang Liang unable to let go.

My precious.

My little treasure.

Finally... I've found you!

...

"Hurry! Break the formation quickly!"

"Yes!"

Reading Jiang Liang's lip movements, Xia Ming's eyes became even deeper.
