Chapter 3884: The Ghost Immortal Cult
The Second Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt did not use his full strength with that kick, but it could still heavily injure a mid Immortal Emperor.
The difference in strength was far too great. Let alone a mid Immortal Emperor, even a late Immortal Emperor would struggle to block a Second Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt to the degree where they emerged unscathed.
“We had no grudge. You were merely tricked by someone, yet you could act so heavy-handed. How vicious of you.” Jian Chen’s voice was stern. A hint of killing intent gradually appeared in his icy-cold gaze, growing stronger and stronger.
Afterwards, he used the secret technique from the Skyscraping Sword Venerable, using the spiritual Qi here as his eyes to observe everything going on in the area.
Due to the limitations of the environment in the Skyscraping World, neither Zhou Yunzhuang nor the two pursuing Immortal Exalts managed to escape Jian Chen’s range of control in such a short amount of time. As a result, Jian Chen could clearly grasp their every movement through the secret technique.
He immediately activated the Divine Armour of Heavenflight and silently vanished from the world. He did not give off any presence at all, concealing himself flawlessly.
Afterwards, Jian Chen chased after them at lightning speed.
The Second Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt at the front, Zhou Yunzhuang, fled desperately. He coughed up blood from time to time as his presence grew more and more feeble.
He had suffered extremely heavy injuries, and he was unable to heal himself at this time. Coupled with fleeing at full speed, his injuries constantly worsened.
The longer the delay, the worse his injuries would become.
“Dammit junior. Why didn’t you run? Why didn’t you run? If you chose to run, I definitely would have managed to escape,” at this moment, Zhou Yunzhuang constantly cursed inside, exasperated by Jian Chen’s decision.
He could only use this trick once. Once it failed, the enemy would definitely be aware of it, so he would struggle to succeed again.
At this moment, Zhou Yunzhuang suddenly came to a halt. He looked ahead with an ugly expression as despair gradually filled his eyes.
A hunched-back old woman stood quietly a hundred kilometres in front of him with a dragon-headed cane as if she had been waiting there for a very long time.
The old woman’s presence was also at the Second Heavenly Layer, but when he faced the old woman, Zhou Yunzhuang could not develop any thoughts of resistance.
“Zhou Yunzhuang, you’re already done for. Hand over the Three Lives Reincarnation Fruit,” the old woman said indifferently. Her hoarse voice gave off a hint of undeniable authority.
“W-where’s the Crouching Dragon Master and the others?” Zhou Yunzhuang said with a sunken expression.
“They’ve all been defeated by me already. They’ve fled with heavy wounds. If it weren’t for the fact that the Three Lives Reincarnation Fruit wasn’t on them, they would not even have a chance at escaping,” the old woman said. Her eyes were very small. Only a crack remained, so it was like a venomous snake’s eyes, giving off a chilling cold light.
“Not even a chance at escaping? Hmph, maybe not the others, but the Crouching Dragon Master is from the Crouching Dragon Manor on the Polar Jade Heaven!” Zhou Yunzhuang said sternly. When he mentioned the Crouching Dragon Manor, there was clearly some fear and respect in his eyes.
“The Crouching Dragon Manor? The organisation that ranks third on the Polar Jade Heaven? Hehehehe, let alone the measly third, even the Jiang family that’s renowned as the strongest organisation on the Polar Jade Heaven can’t invoke any fear in our Ghost Immortal cult.” The old woman laughed aloud. Shortly afterwards, she seemed to think of something as she said, “The Crouching Dragon Manor may have the existence of the mysterious manor lord but so what? Before our Ghost Immortal cult, they’re still nothing.”
Zhou Yunzhuang fell silent. He recalled the strength of the Ghost Immortal cult, as well as the glorious history of the Ghost Immortal cult.
The Ghost Immortal cult truly possessed the strength to look down on everyone.
“Greetings, cult leader Lan!”
At this moment, the two Immortal Exalts who pursued Zhou Yunzhuang arrived here as well. They blocked off Zhou Yunzhuang’s path of retreat as they clasped their fists towards the old woman. They were filled with politeness.
It was as if despite also being Second Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalts, the old woman’s status was much higher than theirs.
“Spare the courteous gestures. I’ve troubled you with this, fellows. However, I am only a vice cult leader. Please do not call me cult leader so easily. If the cult leader hears of this, I won’t be able to bear the consequences,” said the old woman.
“You are too polite, cult leader Lan. Others may not be aware of it, but we’re very familiar with this. Your esteemed cult leader has already decided to pass the position to you. He’s just waiting for a suitable moment,” the Second Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt continued.
“Enough. We can talk about this later. Now is not the time. Zhou Yunzhuang, I’ll give you one last chance to live. Do you want to die or not? You can decide for yourself.” The old woman looked at Zhou Yunzhuang.
“If I hand over the Three Lives Reincarnation Fruit, can I really leave here alive?” Zhou Yunzhuang said sternly. With his strength as a Second Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt, even those stronger than him, let alone those at the same level as him, would struggle to kill him. He would always have a chance at survival if he paid a heavy price.
However, when he faced this old woman, he seemed to know that there was no chance for him to escape.
“Will you really let me go if I hand over the Three Lives Reincarnation Fruit?” Zhou Yunzhuang looked at the old woman in interest.
“I have no major grudge against you, so I obviously will not kill you for nothing,” said the old woman. It appeared as if she was also afraid that Zhou Yunzhuang would try and destroy the Three Lives Reincarnation Fruit if he ran out of options.
“Alright. I’ll give you the Three Lives Reincarnation Fruit.” Zhou Yunzhuang gritted his teeth and finally made up his mind, taking out a delicate jade box from his Space Ring.
“Cult leader Lan, be careful of any tricks,” the two Immortal Exalts who pursued Zhou Yunzhuang warned in a hurry.
“Open it!” The old woman’s eyes shone brightly.
Zhou Yunzhuang did not hesitate. He opened the jade box, and a profound presence spread out, bearing the aura of reincarnation.
A walnut-sized fruit rested in the jade box quietly, shining with black and white light. It was very beautiful.
“Sure enough, it’s the Three Lives Reincarnation Fruit!” The old woman smiled faintly.
“I’ll give you the Three Lives Reincarnation Fruit. I hope you can hold your word!” Zhou Yunzhuang shut the jade box and pushed it out gently. The jade box immediately drifted towards the old woman.
The old woman subconsciously raised her hand, about to catch the jade box.
But at this moment, a figure clad in armour silently appeared right between the Three Lives Reincarnation Fruit and the old woman.
No one present managed to sense how this person had appeared, as they could not sense the figure’s existence at all apart from seeing him.
The figure was Jian Chen clad in the Divine Armour of Heavenflight!
Jian Chen reached out. Under everyone’s stunned gazes, he stowed away the jade box with the Three Lives Reincarnation Fruit. He said with ease, “Zhou Yunzhuang had already gifted me the Three Lives Reincarnation Fruit earlier, so it belongs to me.”
