Immortal of the Nine Realms

Chapter 196: The Way Out



Chapter 196: The Way Out

Hes conscience-stricken, Li Xiuming sneered.

He had been keeping an eye on Chaoxianggong Nishengs condition, but it was a pity that he was far too weakened to kill her in front of Xia Yun and the others.

Conscience-stricken? Li Daoye sneered. What reason do I have to feel conscience stricken? Young master Fang earned these ki stones with his life! He sacrificed himself to lure that black-cloaked man away to save us. These belong to him. They have nothing to do with you!

Look, he admitted it, Li Xiuming scoffed.

Xia Yun frowned. You said Daoist Fang intentionally lured away that black-cloaked man?

Do you think he would have gotten captured otherwise? If you want the ki stones, youll have to wait till young master Fang returns. Li Daoye harrumphed.

He wont be returning. Xia Yun sighed. We saw him getting taken away by that bat fae with our own eyes.

Senior Xia, lets not waste our time with words. Now that Daoist Fang is dead, theres no reason for us to show respect to a mere Eight Trigrams Sects disciple, Liu Suifeng sneered.

He turned to Li Daoye and said, We brought you here out of respect for Daoist Fang. Otherwise, someone of your cultivation isnt even worthy of traveling with us. If you know whats good for you, hand over all of the ki stones and treasures. We will at least split a portion with you so that you dont make a wasted trip.

Hmph! Li Daoye snorted. You are shameless!

You shouldnt forget that were cultivators, Liu Suifeng said.

He was saying that cultivators prioritized their interest above everything else. Shame meant nothing to them.

Fine, Ill hand the ki stones to you, but I want you to kill that fellow on our behalf. Hes much worse than the rest of you, Li Daoye said with gritted teeth as he pointed at Li Xiuming.

Xia Yun and the others exchanged looks before turning to Li Xiuming.

Heh! Li Xiuming was composed. I am a disciple of Everchange Mountain. Kill me if you want, but know that I wont die in vain. My sect elders will investigate the matter and avenge me. Pray that your sect is strong enough to protect you or else you might implicate your sect too.

The three of them had never heard about Everchange Mountain, but they could deduce how strong it was from Li Xiuming and Chaoxianggong Nishengs cultivation. It was likely to be no weaker than their South Heaven Sect.

Li Daoye, I dont know what happened between you and him, but you can settle it between the two of you. Hand over the items now. If I have to make a move, it wont end nicely, Liu Suifeng said.

Is that so? Changxianggong Nisheng opened her eyes and looked at Liu Suifeng, I havent recovered from my injuries yet, but you wont be able to take a single blow from me either.

Liu Suifengs face darkened.

Miss Nisheng, hows your injuries? Have you recovered your spirit ki? Li Daoye was delighted.

Chaoxianggong Nisheng nodded. She turned to Li Xiuming and asked, Senior, are you disappointed that Im not dead yet?

Junior, you were the one who schemed with them against me, Li Xiuming replied.

Youre truly shameless. How could I have never noticed it? Everyone in Everchange Mountain has been deceived by your hypocritical act, Chaoxianggong Nisheng scoffed before glancing at Xia Yun and the others. Kill Li Xiuming, and not only will I split the treasures with you, but there will be a handsome reward awaiting you once I return to Everchange Mountain.

Dont listen to her. No good can come out of killing an Everchange Mountains disciple, no matter the reason, Li Xiuming replied.

Xia Yun and the others were put in a spot.

Just then, they heard the sound of the wind. They quickly raised their heads and saw the bat fae heading in their direction.

Flee! Xia Yun shouted.

Needless to say, their life was more important than mere ki stones.

Lets go. Chaoxianggong Nisheng escaped with Li Daoye too.

While they were making their getaway, they saw the stone fae appearing in the horizon.

Fifteen minutes later, the two of them scanned their surroundings and heaved a sigh of relief when they didnt see either of the faes. Chaoxianggong Nisheng turned to Li Daoye and asked, Why did you cry?

Me? Cry? You must be kidding! Li Daoye quickly rubbed his eyes, which were still a little red. Its just that some sand got into my eyes but if the bat fae is coming after us, itd mean that young master Fang might really be dead. Its only normal for me to be upset.

He wont die in vain. As long as I return to Everchange Mountain, Ill make sure that black-cloaked man dies a terrible death, Chaoxianggong Nisheng said after a moment of silence.

Are you certain? You look like a normal disciple. Will your elders really listen to you? Li Daoye was skeptical.

Would Li Xiuming approach me if I was a normal disciple? Hes just dumping me because Senior Sister Chen can offer him much more, Chaoxianggong Nisheng replied in self-derision.

I see Li Daoye nodded.

Just then, they heard a commotion behind them, so they fled without any hesitation.

Time passed in a flash.

Two days later, the group returned to the entrance. It had been ten days since they entered this place, so they should be able to leave the place today.

Within these two days, Chaoxianggong Nisheng and Li Daoye had turned terribly unkempt. There were dozens of injuries inflicted on their bodies.

Xia Yun and the others didnt fare any better either.

Li Xiumings left arm was even broken. When he saw Chaoxianggong Nisheng once more, his face was more livid than ever.

Ten days are already up. Why isnt the entrance opening?! Liu Suifeng exclaimed grimly.

Xia Yun also stepped forward to take a look. A thought surfaced in his mind, and he widened his eyes in astonishment. We might have been fooled by that Ji Clans Nightmare Knight.

He fooled us? Li Daoye exchanged looks with Chaoxianggong Nisheng, and both their faces turned ghastly pale.

It hadnt been easy at all for them to survive to this day. If the entrance didnt open, they might not necessarily be able to survive even today.

The sound of the wind echoed above once more. It was a sound all of them had grown accustomed to. The bat fae was here again.

Just as they were about to scatter and flee once more, a surge of golden light suddenly glowed from the entrance. The Eight Trigrams Restriction Art began revolving.

All of them were overjoyed. The entrance was opening!

Ji Congyun stood with his hands behind his back. Standing beside him was a Nightmare Knight.

Are you sure you saw these people? Ji Congyun asked.

Yes, Old Master. It is them that we saw. We have locked them inside the cavern, and they should be stuck there for at least a year, the leader of the Nightmare Knights who locked Fang Chen in looked at a couple of portraits as he replied.

These were portraits of Fang Chen and the others.

Wonderful! Ji Congyun laughed heartily. They might be immortals, but theres no way they can survive being trapped in there for a year. You did well! Hahaha!

Who is it? someone suddenly shouted.

Ji Congyun turned around and saw two people flitting over while carrying a carriage.

Its you? Ji Congyun was startled to see Zhao Yun and Xu Ge. It made him wonder who was in the carriage.
