The room was dark and gloomy. Sunlight shone through the window onto Xie Cheng Dong's body. Xie Cheng Dong's face was wet from the tears of blood that flowed from his Yin Master's eyes.
A bit of spiritual light emerged from the ground and entered his body. He immediately opened his eyes. However, as soon as he opened his eyes, he was so angry that he coughed up a mouthful of blood.
After Xie Cheng Dong had spat out the blood, he felt a chill on his face. He stretched out his hand and touched his face. It was full of tears. He threw his head back and laughed out loud, "Haha!"
After laughing, he did not wipe his face. After some time, he stood up and walked to the window. The wind blew past his face and he tasted the blood in his mouth. Dark clouds rose and a gust of wind blew past. The sky changed color, causing him to shiver. He sat down on a chair and looked out the window, "I still remember Yu Kou Village … That place was very close to Dark Altar Sect …"
"At that time, my father had yet to meet the blind Daoist. He was just an ordinary disciple. He had already married and had children. He held my hand as we walked home. Little Huang was waiting for us at the door …"
As he spoke, Xie Cheng Dong's chest tightened and he laughed bitterly.
When he was young, he had followed his father to cultivate Dao. His talent in cultivation far exceeded that of an ordinary person. His father had placed all his hopes on him. It was a pity that he did not have the resources to nurture him. His father had to grit his teeth and work hard to earn resources for him.
Later on, he met the blind Daoist who gave him many pointers. Eventually, his cultivation improved and he was recognized by Elder Sun. He was accepted as a Core Disciple and his father became famous.
However, his father continued to support him. Later on, he even helped Xie Cheng Dong obtain a fruit. He often told him, "My talent is limited. To be able to achieve this, I had to force my way up. I will never be able to become an Earth Immortal."
"You are still young, I placed all my hopes on you."
Now that he had been killed by Pei Zi Yun, that was fine. Even if his physical body died, he could still enter Paradise and meet his father again. But now that his body and soul had been destroyed, he was beyond redemption. Even if he were to become a True Immortal, there was no turning back.
Xie Cheng Dong bit his lips, tears welled up in his eyes and refused to fall. He could not control himself as he choked on his tears.
After a long time, Xie Cheng Dong wiped away his tears and calmed himself down. He thought to himself, "The sect's attitude towards me has changed, even before my father was killed."
"I've failed so many times that I'm sure there's something wrong with the sect. It's just that my father and I are both Yin Master level 9 and 10. Furthermore, we've performed many meritorious deeds in the past. That's why we have the right to speak up. Now that my father is dead and both his body and soul are destroyed, I'm afraid my influence within the sect will be reduced by half."
Just thinking about it, Xie Chengdong felt a stifling pressure in his heart. He slammed his fist against the window, his heart filled with rage with nowhere to vent it. What was even more chilling was the attitude of his master. After a long time, he took a few steps forward and coldly laughed, "Cheng Yuanzi, you are suspicious to the bone. How many talented disciples have mysteriously disappeared or fallen into depravity? You've lived for two hundred years, but you've actually sucked Dark Altar Sect dry! "
"Both my father and I have contributed so much to the sect's resurgence. That's why we have so many Yin Master experts. Are you going to turn your back on us now?"
"Now, the only thing I can do is to feign civility and support King Lu's victory. As long as I can obtain half of the world, I will be able to break through to the Earth Immortal level." Xie Chengdong laughed coldly, "However, you've already lived for two hundred years. You don't have much lifespan left. You've fought so many battles and lost so much of your lifespan. How many more years do you have left? Even if I do have a few more decades, when I become an Earth Immortal, and with the help of Imperial Qi, do you think you can stop me? "
"As for Pei Zi Yun, I shall think about how I can repay you every day."
At this point, a bolt of lightning struck down, illuminating the entire room. Xie Chengdong's face was filled with malevolence.
It was an eternally dark place. A chilly wind blew past, as lonely spirits wandered about in the darkness. Several evil spirits lurked deep within the underworld, looking for an opportunity to strike.
Pei Zi Yun transformed into a beam of light as he advanced forward. As long as he continued upwards, he would be able to return to his physical body. At this point, Pei Zi Yun stopped in his tracks. He then extended his hand and pointed it at the ground. The Imperial Qi which had been hovering above him flew out and landed on the ground before disappearing.
"You've chased me so many times. Let's see how I deal with you." Pei Zi Yun said. Not long after he finished speaking, another beam of light appeared in front of him. It landed not far away from Pei Zi Yun and smiled coldly.
Seeing that Pei Zi Yun was not running away, the Earth Immortal was shocked. He then laughed, "Pei Zi Yun, I didn't expect you to be so daring. You're not running anymore?"
As he spoke, he looked at Pei Zi Yun and was shocked. His Yin Master was faint, like glass, and exuded an aura of perfection.
He wore the robes of a True Sovereign. His robes were magnificent, and there was a faint shadow of a dragon. His expression changed, "You've already attained immortality, and your Yin Master is close to perfection?"
"You've even received the title of True Sovereign, and are even an Imperial Envoy?"
"No wonder you're so daring, and dare to offend me. However, I shall let you know what it means to be a villain, and to be successful will bring disaster!" When the Earth Immortal saw that Pei Zi Yun had attained the third level of cultivation, his eyes turned cold. This kid had only relied on the Imperial Qi to achieve immortality, so be it. He didn't expect that he'd already attained immortality. The last time he was here, he had only been expelled from the Imperial Records. Such a person, if he didn't kill him, he wouldn't be able to rest easy.
As this thought flashed through his mind, he clenched his fist, causing a lightning orb to appear in his hand. He then pointed at the orb, and a loud boom could be heard. The orb carried a large amount of lightning with it as it shot towards Pei Zi Yun. Pei Zi Yun stretched out his hand as well, as a transparent sword appeared in his hand. He pointed his finger forward, "Slash!"
The sword charged forward, and the lightning pearl struck down. Both of them were extremely fast, and a loud "Boom!" could be heard as the light from the sword dissipated. Pei Zi Yun was shocked to see that the blade of the sword was still intact.
It was just that the lightning seemed to be relentless. One lightning bolt exploded, and another followed. It was like a chain of beads, and the blade of the sword exploded into pieces.
It was just that once the blade of the sword had exploded, there wasn't much lightning left. When the remaining lightning reached Pei Zi Yun, it dissipated.
"So the might of an Earth Immortal is only this much. Haha."
Hearing Pei Zi Yun's mocking words, the Earth Immortal's face fell. The lightning in his hand changed, and another lightning pearl appeared. This time, it was three times stronger than before.
Pei Zi Yun acted as though he was about to escape, and the Earth Immortal started to move. Pei Zi Yun then pointed, "Trap!"
A dragon's roar could be heard from beneath the ground, as it chased after the Earth Immortal, forming a fence that trapped the Earth Immortal within.
The fence looked like it was made of iron, and the top was shaped like a dragon. One could even see the head of the dragon, and it looked extremely sturdy. The moment the Earth Immortal neared, the fence started to emit lightning, which struck the Earth Immortal's body.
"Haha!" Not only was the Earth Immortal not angry, he even laughed out, "Pei Zi Yun, do you think you're the only genius in this world who doesn't know how to control Imperial Qi?"
"Every time you use Imperial Qi, it will seep into your Yin Spirit. When that happens, you will become a puppet of the Imperial Court, and your Dao foundation will be ruined. This is something that many Daoists have paid a heavy price to learn. What a pity, what a pity. Free Cloud Sect is just a small sect, and yet they don't know this!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he pointed the lightning pearl at the fence, causing it to split open. Thousands of sparks flew out, and the fence started to tremble, as if it was about to change shape.
Pei Zi Yun waved his hands, "How would I not know about this? Earth Immortal, please hold on. I have something to say to you, but I know that the Immortal would want to keep me here. I had no choice but to do this."
Hearing Pei Zi Yun's words, the Earth Immortal who was prepared to destroy the cage stopped in his tracks and paused, "Oh, you and I are enemies. What's there to talk about?"
"Haha, Immortal's words are wrong. The so-called enemies are merely a clash of interests. But since our interests are the same, even enemies can sit down and negotiate. There are no eternal enemies in this world, and no eternal friends." Pei Zi Yun said.
"What you've said isn't wrong. It's almost philosophical." Hearing these words, the Earth Immortal stopped in his tracks and didn't attack again. He was listening to what Pei Zi Yun had to say.
Pei Zi Yun looked at the Earth Immortal's expression and laughed, "You're an Earth Immortal, and your senses are vast. Have you noticed that Dark Altar Sect has undergone many changes over the past twenty years?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the Earth Immortal's expression changed. Pei Zi Yun ignored him. In the memories of the original owner of the body, Xie Cheng Dong had achieved a great victory, but didn't become the Sect Leader of Dark Altar Sect. Furthermore, Cheng Yuan Zi had died a year before the original owner was imprisoned. Pei Zi Yun didn't believe that Dark Altar Sect wouldn't be aware of this, and laughed coldly.
"Xie Yi was a mediocre person, how did his cultivation suddenly improve by leaps and bounds?"
"How did Xie Yi and his son manage to obtain so many secrets, and gain so many merits for the sect?"
"When Xie Yi and his son were promoted, why did so many people mysteriously disappear?"
"Dark Altar Sect is supporting the Dragon Court, and naturally they would benefit from it. But is there a need to be so anxious, so close, and so brazen? Aren't they afraid of being punished for their failure?"
"If the Imperial Court were to be angered, they would change the mountains and rivers, and Dark Altar Sect would not be defeated. You're just an Earth Immortal, do you think you'll be able to save them?"
"Think about it carefully. Could it be that both father and son were chosen by the heavens? They were only helping Dark Altar Sect, and had no ulterior motives? I'm sure Immortal would know some insider information. "
Seeing the Earth Immortal's dark expression, Pei Zi Yun laughed out, "If you have any doubts, you can send someone to contact me. My only enemy is Xie Cheng Dong, and not Dark Altar Sect. I'm going!"
As he spoke, he dashed forward. Before he could cross the fence, Pei Zi Yun waved his hands, and a sword ray shot down. The fence didn't stop him, and he pierced through it, landing on the Earth Immortal's head. Pei Zi Yun didn't stop, and pierced through the space between Yin and Yang, returning to the world of the living.
Seeing Pei Zi Yun leave, the Earth Immortal stretched out his hand to receive the sword ray. It was only a few inches long, "Condensing Qi into a sword? Another genius?"
"Xie Cheng Dong's cultivation speed is fast, and he has his own secrets. I don't think you're too far behind." As soon as the Earth Immortal finished speaking, he sent a message to the Earth Immortal. His face fell as he waved his hands, and the third lightning pearl struck the fence. A loud "boom" could be heard as the fence was torn apart, and turned into a white smoke.
The Earth Immortal's body was starting to turn transparent, and his face was gloomy, "However, it's time to investigate the history of the Xie family's father and son."
"Especially when it comes to the mysterious power that disappeared not long ago. I have to investigate both of them together."
Thinking about the mysterious power, the Earth Immortal revealed a look of fear, "My spiritual sense tells me that this power is a huge threat to me."
As he thought about this, he transformed into a streak of light and disappeared.
