Everyone's faces were brimming with joy, but there were also those who weren't happy. Zhang Hongqing was displeased. Even though he'd received a hundred beast cores, he still wasn't happy. After last night's series of events, the disciples of the Heavenly Dao School all admired Li Heizi and objected to their leader's lukewarm attitude.
This was to be expected. Following Li Heizi was both safe and a share of spirit stones. Zhang Hongqing, on the other hand, almost killed everyone. Why should I follow you? Was he tired of waiting for his death?
"Hmph! You're all despicable people! I can't believe the Heavenly Dao School has people like you! "Zhang Hongqing snorted angrily. His hatred for Ye Kong only increased.
The sky was just beginning to brighten. After finishing their work, everyone gathered and did a headcount. Eight cultivators had died in last night's battle, so there were still eighty-nine left.
The cultivators from the same school put the corpses into storage pouches to be buried when they returned to Cang Nan. However, at Ye Kong's suggestion, everyone faced the south and mourned for a few minutes.
In fact, Cang Nan didn't have this custom before, but it slowly spread. Mourning for the dead became a common custom on this continent.
Just as everyone was about to embark on another journey, something strange happened.
The sun had just risen. One side of the sky was already bright, while the other side was still a bit dark.
In such a situation, a huge crack suddenly appeared in the sky. From the crack, tens of thousands of rays of golden light spilled out, enveloping a large area of the world below. Even Ye Kong and the others were enveloped within.
Everyone immediately panicked. The fact that a huge hole had appeared in the sky was beyond their imagination. If there was some kind of disaster, it would probably destroy the heavens and the earth.
Ye Kong and Wang Tingshi glanced at each other. They both guessed that this was an immortal descending. It was most likely the Eastern Immortal Emperor's residence that had come to take away the Horned Cloud Hoof Scale.
"Everyone, don't panic. It might be an immortal descending. Don't talk and don't use weapons." Ye Kong quickly whispered.
Immortals were so powerful, what effect would cultivator weapons have on them? They might as well not use weapons to show their friendliness.
When everyone heard that an immortal had descended to the lower realm, they were both afraid and excited. After living for so many years, he had never seen what an Immortal looked like. However, Immortals shouldn't kill indiscriminately, right? Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to escape.
Sure enough, from the golden light, eight teams of sixteen tall Immortal soldiers wearing golden armor suddenly flew out. As soon as they appeared, they stood on two sides, leaving a path in the middle. It seemed that the ones who would appear later would definitely be important figures.
Soon after, a shining golden carriage with green tassels appeared. What surprised Ye Kong was that it was being pulled by seven Horned Cloud Hoof Qilins! If he could immediately catch the one that Yamamoto was raising, he would have eight horses.
Eight Horned Cloud Hoof Beasts pulling the carriage! Ye Kong's eyes turned green. What kind of person was sitting in the car? It was too exaggerated, too extravagant! As long as I have one, I will smile until my mouth is crooked. When I go back, I will definitely worship it as my ancestor. But you actually let a top-notch mythological beast pull a carriage?
Ye Kong was a little suspicious. Could it be that the Dongfang Immortal Emperor had personally appeared?
However, the curtains around the carriage were drawn down, so he couldn't see who was sitting inside. However, the person driving the carriage was very clear. It was an impressive-looking male immortal. He held a leather whip in one hand, and his other hand was gently placed on a golden three-pointed spear that was placed beside him.
He glanced around and found a group of cultivators below. He frowned and muttered, "Why are there so many human cultivators here? It seems that I have to report this to the Immortal Emperor when I return. "
He did not dare to make any rash decisions regarding these cultivators without any instructions from his superiors.
A clear female voice came from the carriage behind and asked, "General Gu, let me go down to catch the beasts this time. It's really boring for you to catch them every time. What's more, Taxue has played with me since she was young. There shouldn't be any danger."
The Immortal General with the surname Gu jumped out of the carriage, cupped his fists, and said respectfully, "Princess, let me handle such a trivial matter. Otherwise, if word gets back, the Immortal Emperor will blame us for not doing our job well … Moreover, there are a group of mortal cultivators below. It's not appropriate for you to show your face in public and let the mortals offend you."
The princess immediately said angrily, "Mortals are not bad people. When I was in the lower realm … Forget it. Let's quickly bring Taxue back!"
The Immortal General heaved a sigh of relief and cupped his fists. "Yes, Your Majesty."
The Immortal General put down the three-pointed spear in his hand and took out a special golden talisman. With a shake of his hand, the golden talisman immediately turned into a ball of fire.
"Huh?" The Immortal General's hand trembled as if it was being burned. He frowned and said, "Yamamoto Kenin is dead? How is that possible? "
The Immortal General was shocked when he realized that Yamamoto Kenin was dead. He hurriedly instructed, "Everyone, be on guard."
"Yes!" The Immortal Soldiers quickly spread out and surrounded the carriage. They raised their weapons in their hands and put on a vigilant look.
Then, the Immortal General found a position, conjured a hand seal, and patted his chest.
A shadow immediately flew out of his body and shot toward the valley where Yamamoto Kenin was. Below, Ye Kong and Wang Tingshi looked at each other, feeling uneasy. They did not know if the Immortal General would discover any clues.
The Immortal General was very fast. Soon, the shadow shot back and hid in the Immortal's body. He also knew the current situation in the valley.
The Immortal General pondered for a while and reported to the golden carriage, "Princess, the Rank-18 Immortal General of the Horse Protection Division, Yamamoto Kenin, was killed. His soul was destroyed. I sensed the aura left behind by a Rank-9 Immortal Artifact at the place where he died."
"Huh?" The princess exclaimed in surprise. She hurriedly asked, "What about Taxue?"
The Immortal General said, "Taxue is very safe. We can subdue her later … However, I want to investigate the matter of Yamamoto Kenin's death first."
"Hurry up, then."
After receiving the princess's instructions, the Immortal General flew above Ye Kong and the others and shouted, "You people of the Lower Realm, listen up. I am the Rank-3 Immortal General of the Eastern Immortal Emperor's Residence, Gu Yueyang. I have questions for you. Answer truthfully. Otherwise, don't blame me for being merciless!"
Lin Tianwu hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed. "Immortal General, please ask. We will definitely tell you everything we know."
Many people knelt down, but Ye Kong and the others did not. They thought to themselves that this Immortal General looked very young. Why did he have to kneel before him?
Immortal General Gu Yueyang was a little unhappy, but he did not lose his temper. He asked, "How did you come to Cangbei?"
Lin Tianwu immediately replied, "Exalted Immortal, we are disciples of the ten Immortal Sects of Cangnan. We came here by chance. At that time, we were fighting with someone. I don't know what kind of bizarre Dharma spell the other party used, but we ended up here. If Exalted Immortal had not mentioned it, we would not have known that this was Cangbei …"
