Chapter 233: Master Can’t Die! Now, You Can Die.

[Xianlun Sacred Land]

“Impossible, Master is so powerful, how could he fall there… this must be fake, it’s impossible…”

“I don’t believe it, no, I won’t. I’m going to go find my Master.”

Yaoyao’s face was pale; her eyes were red and swollen. Her expression looked lost and confused, her little hands clenched inside large sleeves. The tips of her fingers had gone cold. She didn’t want to believe in those rumours.

How could her master have fallen in the Yuhua Heavenly Pond? It must be a lie.

Beside her, Grandma Yinhua’s face was bitter and helpless, etched in disbelief as well.

Because the mysterious Immortal had made a deep impression on her.

The unfathomable horror he exuded, the unparalleled confidence in his every gesture.

How could such a monstrous existence possibly fall?

But along with the news she had heard recently, the jade pendant left behind by the Great Immortal for Yaoyao had also cracked inexplicably.

Everything seemed to confirm the authenticity of those unbearable rumours.

Therefore, she felt even more bitter.

“Yaoyao, the Supreme Immortal may not have really fallen. It’s just their suspicion. At that time, the situation happened very far away, and no one truly saw him fall there…”

Afterwards, Grandma Yinhua spoke and comforted Yaoyao, wanting her not to be too sad.

But even she herself didn’t believe these words.

Although no one saw it with their own eyes…

The entire public had witnessed that earth-shattering phantom. Unless one was blind, there was no way for them to not see it.

Her saying so, was only her holding on to a fluke-like fantasy.

Hearing those comforting words, Yaoyao’s face finally lost its remaining colour, and the world turned too quickly underneath her feet. Everything changed so fast. She was almost unable to stand.

“Uuuuuu…”

Then, tears poured out of her eyes, like beads with a broken thread. They scattered upon the floor.

“Master is invincible, isn’t he? T-there’s no way he would fall just like that… he promised Yaoyao that he would not leave Yaoyao… H-he…”

A voice like a broken record, she murmured, recalling in her mind the days she had spent with her Master. It wasn’t a long time. But now it seemed too short.

From the moment where he saved her and her Grandma from the Black Wind Bandits.

To the moment where he accepted her as a disciple.

Taking her through each Ancient City, across those Divine Mountains and Restricted Areas…

The man who was extremely gentle to her, who gave her infinite warmth and peace, and made her understand the world and its beauty.

For someone like her who was trapped in a tiny village, he had given everything.

Even when he knew she was a burden. That she couldn’t even cultivate.

The mountains and rivers they had visited. The breeze that flowed by as she held his firm hand. The winter nights and spring blossoms under which they ate their meals.

Those sights remained, but where was the person she had shared them with?

How could he just leave like this?

Just abandoning her alone without a goodbye?

At this moment, Yaoyao felt her vision blur and twist.

She didn’t want to believe that it was all true.

“Master knew that the Yuhua Heavenly Pond was extremely dangerous, yet he still went…”

“This was all planned by Jiang Yang in advance. He told the Master about it first. And Master clearly understood this, but didn’t stop regardless.”

“There must be some unavoidable reason. Jiang Yang… I’ll never forgive you.”

Afterwards, Yaoyao calmed down and wiped away her tears, her demeanour changing completely, as if she had suddenly grown up in a single moment.

She decided to go to the Yuhua Heavenly Pond to find her Master.

Even if he really did fall, she needed to see it for herself.

Yaoyao did not believe that her master would leave so easily. It was an unbreakable belief.

When she heard Yaoyao’s decision, Grandma Yinhua was shocked, but from Yaoyao’s expression, she could see an extreme determination. An unbending will.

“Yaoyao, if the Supreme Immortal knew about your intentions, he wouldn’t let you risk it…”

She shook her head and sighed.

However, she also understood that the current Yaoyao was different from that little girl who would hide behind her when she met a bandit.

Perhaps she had inherited a little bit of the Great Immortal’s confidence.

The matured and sensible Yaoyao… who could block her path?

“But Grandma will support your decision. The Supreme Immortal has been kind to you, so how can we ignore him when he might be in need?”

Afterwards, Grandma Yinhua’s smile became somewhat relieved.

And she didn’t even notice that upon making this decision, there was a faint pattern of peach petals appearing between Yaoyao’s brows, glowing brightly, and then quickly disappearing.

Radiating an ethereal aura, it was as if the little girl could become immortal at any time.

During this period, what happened in the Yuhua Heavenly Pond, like a storm, quickly swept through the entire Tian Domain.

Countless forces and loose cultivators were shocked senseless. To think that such an unimaginable event had occurred.

That mysterious Supreme Immortal, capable of destroying Divine Mountains at will, was suspected to have fallen in the Yuhua Heavenly Pond after having rushed there in a hurry.

On the day of his death, luminous blood pierced the sky, painting the Heavens outside the Yuhua Heavenly Pond a crimson hue, accompanied by the terrifying phantom of a primordial beast. The sight made countless hearts palpitate as they watched a monstrous war break out.

And during this battle, many cultivators witnessed the figure of the Supreme Immortal being torn apart, its Qi finally disappearing within the depths of the pond.

This news was immensely scary.

Previously, the reports of a miraculous phenomenon in the Yuhua Heavenly Pond had caused a ripple in all directions, resulting in many forces and cultivators arriving at the Pond…

But now there was an oppressive atmosphere hanging above everything.

As even the sky seems to have turned bloody.

An Immortal had bled here.

If they ventured forth, would they fare better than that Great Immortal? It was impossible.

For a time, many cultivators and creatures retreated and hurriedly evacuated from the area, daring not to stay there any longer.

So what if a priceless treasure had been born? It was no better than a death curse.

This incident directly made Yuhua Heavenly Pond thousands of times more terrifying than the most dangerous of Restricted Areas!

Within a radius of 10,000 miles, no living being dared to approach.

[At the same time, in a remote town.]

“What a stupid and arrogant fellow, do you think that you are invincible in my Lower Realm? Didn’t I still kill you in the Yuhua Heavenly Pond in the end…”

On the road, Jiang Yang, who looked indifferent and wore a long gown, was faintly smiling. Upon receiving the information he wanted, he couldn’t help but chuckle.

He seemed extremely confident as if everything was under his control.

Because in his eyes, everything had gone exactly as planned.

Gu Changge’s actions were all within his calculations.

Wasn’t he powerful? Invincible? A Supreme Immortal with immense strength?

Yet he still fell into the trap Jiang Yang had left behind.

In his opinion, this Gu Changge was extremely conceited, boasting and trumpeting the fact that he originated from the Upper Realm, and showing contempt towards those from the Lower World like an indifferent god. He didn’t give a damn about them.

Therefore, Jiang Yang concluded that Gu Changge would rush towards the Yuhua Heavenly Pond the moment he heard the news regarding the birth of a Divine Artifact, not caring even if he understood that it might be a conspiracy or trap.

And after knowing Gu Changge’s temperament, Jiang Yang became even more certain of this plan.

Gu Changge, with his vision as a person from the Upper Realm, would definitely be able to realise how precious the artifact within the Yuhua Heavenly Pond was, making it impossible for him to simply give up on it.

He’d jump even if he knew there was a fire pit ahead.

Moreover, it was impossible for Gu Changge to find out that the Yuhua Heavenly Pond was actually related to him and had many backhands he had arranged in his previous life.

In simpler words, it meant that if anyone other than Jiang Yang dared to set foot into the Yuhua Heavenly Pond, there was only one thing that awaits them – death.

Gu Changge was no exception.

‘That Supreme Immortal was actually killed by Jiang Yang…’

Behind Jiang Yang, the sword-bearer Zhao Yi overheard his words.

She felt extremely surprised as if a storm had blown through her mind.

Zhao Yi really did not expect that with just a few words and commands from Jiang Yang at that time, he would manage to kill the mysterious Supreme Immortal inside the Yuhua Heavenly Pond.

It was a terrifying and unpredictable method, enough to make her shiver.

The reverence for Jiang Yang in her heart also increased by several levels that day.

He was truly unfathomable!

The Supreme Immortal’s earth-shattering strength at that time was still vivid in her eyes, yet in the blink of an eye, he had already fallen into the Yuhua Heavenly Pond.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yi couldn’t help but sigh for a while. Although Jiang Yang’s cultivation was not as good as that of the Supreme Immortal, these methods were far more horrifying than his cultivation.

“An Immortal? He was nothing but a stepping stone for my ascension.”

Jiang Yang noticed her expression and smiled lightly. The casual way in which he spoke sounded as if he had already forgotten about Gu Changge in his heart.

Why bother thinking about a dead man?

Since, according to the news that arrived, even if he didn’t die then, it would still be soon. How could the methods of the Human Ancestor be something that ordinary people could compete against?

Gu Changge previously bullied him because of his profound cultivation.

Though Jiang Yang was not a narrow-minded person, some hatreds must be avenged.

Especially considering how Gu Changge had blocked his way.

“It’s a pity I didn’t kill him myself…”

Jiang Yang shook his head slightly but quickly put the thought aside.

In his past reincarnations, he had actually encountered many enemies like Gu Changge, and the final outcome was also similar to Gu Changge’s end.

Either they all died by his own two hands, or were solved by his many backhands, unable to hinder his progression in the slightest.

What he had to do next became easier.

“The Ancestral Hall’s descendant in this life is quite a cautious individual. Even the agreed location is so far away from the Xianlun Sacred Land. Is she afraid of the so-called Supreme Immortal?”

Three days later, Jiang Yang brought Zhao Yi past many mountains, finally arriving at the agreed place with a leisurely step.

A vast valley sprawled out in front of him. Majestic mountains surrounded them on all sides, as the towering ancient trees and intertwined vines formed a maze-like complex and an emerald-like azure lake in the middle of the valley.

Upon reaching their destination…

Jiang Yang’s brows couldn’t help but wrinkle, as he felt a sense of danger in the dark.

An existence like him believes the most in one’s own instincts.

“Are there any unexpected events in store?”

Jiang Yang secretly frowned. However, this time he had left Xianlun Sacred Land with preparations, so he really wasn’t too worried.

Been through too many things.

Even if there is an accident, he could confidently settle it.

“I’m already here, still not coming out?”

He spoke lightly and swept towards the mountain range ahead.

A pointed question directed towards the Qi fluctuations emanating from within it.

The person who had invited him here was clearly present.

And as Jiang Yang’s words fell.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Countless figures appeared from all around, dressed in golden armour and overflowing with treasure light. Their powerful Qi and vitality merged into an astounding aura of slaughter.

“Someone from the Upper Realm?”

“How is this possible……?”

Noticing the special aura fluctuations on these people, Zhao Yi’s complexion changed drastically. She didn’t expect Jiang Yang to be visiting someone from the Upper Realm.

What kind of identity did Jiang Yang possess?

Moreover, at this time, Jiang Yang was still calm, and didn’t look surprised at all, which shocked Zhao Yi even more.

Jiang Yang’s origin was probably far more frightening than she imagined.

“What about your master?”

Jiang Yang didn’t seem to care about the Upper Realm status of these golden armoured warriors in front of him and spoke in a casual tone.

“Tell her to come and greet me. She has made things quite complicated, yet still wants to maintain a cautious attitude? I wonder why.”

The language he now spoke was from the Upper Realm, and not the Lower Realm.

Fortunately, Zhao Yi had a strong cultivation base and could still understand what he was saying, but those not would definitely be confused at this time.

“Master is in the Huxin Pavilion, we invite the Sir to enter the pavilion yourself.”

The leader of the golden-armoured warriors glanced at Jiang Yang with a hint of scrutiny, as if he wanted to check his identity, before replying.

Hearing that half-dismissal, Jiang Yang frowned. He had personally arrived at this location, an action akin to giving this descendant an almost absurd amount of face, yet at this time, she still decided not to come out and greet him?

This made him unhappy.

However, on the surface, his indifferent expression changed not a shade.

In his opinion, the descendants of the Ancestral Hall in this life seemed quite arrogant, possessing a somewhat unruly temperament, and were not willing to submit to him without a show of strength.

Thinking like this, Jiang Yang finally figured out the cause of that unease he felt easier.

‘Maybe things will be less simple than they first seemed.’

Still, he did not mind taking the time to teach the Human Ancestral Hall’s descendants a lesson, so that she could understand the gap between their generations, and the origin of the Human Ancestral Hall.

“I hope she doesn’t regret this disrespectful act.”

Jiang Yang answered lightly, then took Zhao Yi and followed behind the group of golden armoured warriors, heading towards the Huxin Pavilion.

As for the strange expressions of the golden-armoured warriors around him… Jiang Yang didn’t care.

At this time, he also wanted to understand why the current descendant of the Ancestral Hall asked to meet him in such a remote place.

Instead of going to Xianlun Sacred Land for a visit.

These kinds of actions were extremely concealed and did not reveal any outside movement.

Perhaps it was a sign of disobedience?

Soon, Jiang Yang saw the figure waiting in the Huxin Pavilion.

Although her face was covered with a veil, it was difficult to obscure her peerless immortal features. That expression of bottomless depth, and the otherworldly, detached temperament, as if she were a goddess freed from the mortal coil.

She was also staring at him with a strange expression.

It was Yue Mingkong, who had been there for a long time, planning for this exact moment.

She honestly did not expect the ploy of spreading the letter to work, but Jiang Yang actually believed in it and left Xianlun Sacred Land to uphold the appointment.

And although there are some doubts and confusions…

It did not affect Yue Mingkong’s idea of killing Jiang Yang, in the end.

Hence, she had already set up a Net of Heaven and Earth at the location, a brand new version almost a thousand times better than the last one she used against Ye Ling.

Even if Jiang Yang’s methods were Heaven-defying, he’d have to peel off a layer of his skin to survive, if he doesn’t just die outright.

‘This is the current descendant of the Ancestral Hall? No wonder she would do such a thing.’

When Jiang Yang looked at the figure in the Huxin Pavilion, he looked a little surprised.

His perception had always been very accurate.

From the perspective of temperament, it was easy to guess what type of person this woman sitting in front of him would turn out to be.

He was afraid that she’d be rather unwilling to succumb to him.

But Jiang Yang didn’t truly take it to heart. He had met many immortal women with similarly reckless temperaments and understood how to make them surrender wholeheartedly.

Just as Jiang Yang’s many thoughts passed by—

“You are Jiang Yang?”

The woman in the Huxin Pavilion also spoke up, her melodic voice was like the sound of nature, but it also contained a hidden, icy killing intent.

“I am indeed Jiang Yang.” Jiang Yang said indifferently, “The person you’ve been looking for.”

“So you are the Human Ancestral Hall’s descendant for this generation?”

When he confessed his identity at this time, it was a sign of absolute self-confidence, as if he didn’t have to worry about the other party’s intentions at all.

However, the ‘descendant’ only frowned in annoyance upon hearing this, and did not answer him.

“Good. The Human Ancestor’s Reincarnation… Jiang Yang. Very well, then you can go die now!”

The hidden killing intent erupted! A wave of blood crashing down around the world!

Then, accompanying her chilling declaration.

Yue Mingkong suddenly waved her sleeves, her expression indifferent to the extreme.

Boom!

The mighty revolutions of terrifying Qi emerged from all directions, as the sky was painted in hues of crimson red, drowning out the sun and stars, incomparably vast.

From every side of the mountain range, a flood of golden-armoured warriors descended like a torrent, abruptly slashing towards the paling, robed youth.
