Chapter 478 - 1: Immortal Sect Disciple

Chapter 478: Chapter 1: Immortal Sect Disciple

Tian Nan Domain,

Qing City.

On this day,

Du Fucheng, the Sub-Pavilion Master of the Ten Thousand Spirits Pavilion, was waiting for something high above the city, having arrived early.

Despite the scorching sun overhead,

he showed no trace of impatience.

Before long,

BOOM!

High above, from within the thick clouds, a colossal Flying Ship hundreds of feet long descended. It was magnificent and golden, carved with a ferocious dragon’s head at its prow and shimmering with rays of gilded light.

In an instant, it burst through the layers of clouds, sending out powerful shockwaves as it descended with the force of an avalanche!

In that moment,

the entire city of Qing felt an immense and tyrannical pressure!

Cultivators at the Qi Introduction Realm could barely stand straight under the immense oppression!

Some of the weaker mortals in the city,

were so terrified by this fearsome pressure that they died of fright on the spot!

"Which Upper Immortal is this? To have such might?!"

"How terrifying! This must be a legendary existence from the Soul Emergence Late Stage!"

"Why would such a figure be here? And... with such a grand entrance, he must come from an unimaginably powerful faction!"

The scene in the sky,

drew countless gazes.

The crowd began to whisper among themselves.

They had, of course, also noticed the figure of Du Fucheng, the Qing City Sub-Pavilion Master of the Ten Thousand Spirits Pavilion.

This only made the situation,

seem even more incredible!

After all,

as the Qing City Sub-Pavilion Master of the Ten Thousand Spirits Pavilion, Du Fucheng was one of the most powerful and influential figures in the entire city.

His Cultivation had reached the Soul Emergence Fourth Layer, and few in Qing City could compare to him!

Yet such a great personage,

was now waiting in advance to welcome someone!

In the Immortal Cultivation Realm,

anyone who could make such a grand entrance without being killed for it definitely had extraordinary strength or an extraordinary backer!

"I humbly welcome you, Upper Immortal!"

"Your honored presence brings glory to Qing City!"

Du Fucheng cupped his fists toward the flying vessel and announced loudly.

"Enough!"

"I didn’t come here to listen to you spout nonsense."

At some point,

a young man in purple robes with a cold expression had appeared on the deck of the Flying Ship. He looked down condescendingly at Du Fucheng, who stood respectfully in the void, waiting.

He waved his hand dismissively,

clearly not wanting to waste time on trivialities.

"Since you sent a message saying you have news of that Han Qinhu, lead the way!"

"Don’t waste any more time!"

"Yes!"

Du Fucheng quickly replied, not daring to show the slightest disrespect.

But at the same time, his heart sank.

’Crap.’

’He’s in such a rush. Could he be here for revenge?’

’Han Qinhu is the grandfather of Shen Changchuan, the one whose fame has recently spread far and wide!’

’If he really is here for revenge and something happens, won’t I, the one who led him here, be in huge trouble for no reason?!’

’After all, he’s an Immortal Sect Disciple. Once this is over, he can just dust himself off and leave. But I have to stay here in Qing City!’

Countless thoughts flashed through his mind in the span of a breath.

Du Fucheng felt uneasy,

but facing an Inner Sect Immortal Master from the legendary Yuqing Immortal Sect,

he didn’t dare refuse.

And so,

under Du Fucheng’s guidance,

the magnificent, colossal Flying Ship tore through the void and flew toward Dawan Village.

"Who on earth is that?"

"I don’t know! But judging by the insignia on the Flying Ship, he seems to be an Inner Sect Immortal from the legendary Yuqing Immortal Sect!"

"*Hiss!* Why would someone like that appear here?!"

"Who knows? But from the direction they’re headed, it looks like they’re going toward Dawan Village!"

"That attitude didn’t seem friendly at all!"

"Looks like there’s a good show to watch!"

"Let’s go, let’s go!"

Figure after figure took to the sky,

flying in the direction of Dawan Village.

....

Du Fucheng had no way of knowing what happened next.

Or rather,

he had no mind to pay attention to it.

At this moment,

having been invited aboard the Flying Ship, he stood at the prow giving directions,

feeling extremely restless.

Not long after he boarded, during their journey,

the Inner Sect Disciple from the Yuqing Immortal Sect, whose name was Lu Haoxuan, asked him to explain the situation.

Du Fucheng quickly recounted everything he knew.

He could clearly see

that the other man’s expression had softened considerably.

It seemed that through this information,

he had confirmed the target’s location.

However, this reaction only made Du Fucheng, the Sub-Pavilion Master of the Ten Thousand Spirits Pavilion, feel even more uneasy!

’If this really is for revenge and something goes wrong, it’s almost certain I’ll be the one to take the blame!’

So,

taking advantage of the fact that Immortal Master Lu Haoxuan seemed to be in a relatively good mood, Du Fucheng cautiously probed with a question:

"If I may ask, Upper Immortal, for what matter have you come all this way to find Han Qinhu?"

Lu Haoxuan shot Du Fucheng a sidelong glance.

His face was expressionless as he said coolly:

"Important business, of course."

"What, are you friends with that ant? You want to speak up for him?"

"No, no, no! This lowly one serves the Upper Immortal with all my heart. How could there be any friendship to speak of..."

"Hmph. That’s for the best!"

"The matter concerning that ant has to do with an item belonging to our Immortal Sect’s Daoist. If I can’t get it back, don’t blame me for being ruthless!"

Lu Haoxuan snorted coldly.

He would find a trace of that item even if it meant slaughtering Han Qinhu’s entire family and clan!

"Ah, this..."

Du Fucheng’s expression changed.

He could clearly feel the killing intent radiating from Lu Haoxuan!

’And it’s related to some Immortal Sect Daoist?’

’This is bad.’

’This is very, very bad!’

"Um, Upper Immortal... if possible, please don’t be lethal."

"After all, Han Qinhu is the maternal grandfather of Shen Changchuan, the peerless prodigy whose fame has shaken two domains. He’s not just some ant you can dispose of casually..."

To avoid being scapegoated later,

Du Fucheng could only force himself to speak up.

’Surely,’ he thought,

’Shen Changchuan’s reputation should be enough to intimidate him a little!’

’I just hope I don’t get blamed for this later.’

’What a mess this has become... *Sigh*...’

However,

upon hearing this,

Lu Haoxuan of the Immortal Sect asked nonchalantly:

"Shen Changchuan? What’s that?"

At these words,

Du Fucheng was stunned for a moment.

’There’s someone who doesn’t know Shen Changchuan’s name?’

But soon,

he understood.

After all, the Tian Nan Domain was located in the most remote region of the Southern Great Domain.

It was normal for an Immortal Sect Disciple to be unfamiliar with it.

So,

Du Fucheng quickly summarized some of Shen Changchuan’s most important achievements.

In twenty years, he had cultivated all the way from the Qi Introduction Realm to the Soul Emergence Realm. On his path of Immortal Cultivation, he was undefeated among his peers, and challenging those at higher Realms was as easy as breathing. The younger generation of Cultivators could no longer even hope to catch up to him.

Over a year ago, he had accomplished the feat of killing a Soul Emergence Eighth Layer expert while only at the Soul Emergence Seventh Layer. There were even recent rumors that he could unleash an attack with the power of the Soul Emergence Ninth Layer Level!

Even as he gave this simple account,

Du Fucheng was still filled with awe.

He felt that those achievements were almost the stuff of myths and legends.

This was precisely why,

even though he had helped the Inner Sect Disciple before him and established a connection with him,

he still had no desire to make an enemy of Shen Changchuan.

What he didn’t expect, however,

was that after hearing the shocking achievements and experiences of Shen Changchuan,

Lu Haoxuan—who hailed from an Immortal Sect and possessed an innate arrogance—simply sneered.

"So, you’re worried he’ll come settle the score with you later, is that it?"

"Rest assured. You’re working for me, so I’ll guarantee your safety."

"If he dares to object, I’ll just kill him for you."
