Free Web NovelChapter 636: Chapter 441: Xiaobai Takes Action, Divine Pill Pavilion’s Protection
"How would I dare play any tricks in front of a senior like you! But if I die, then this whole Great Immortal Cave Mansion will be lost forever—what a pity that would be!"
Lin Chang’sheng’s face was full of regret.
He sounded so convinced that He Jie couldn’t help but start to wonder if Lin Chang’sheng was telling the truth or not.
"I’ll give you just a few more words. If you can tell me where the cave mansion is, maybe I’ll spare your life!"
He Jie replied.
But deep down, that’s not what he meant. Whether Lin Chang’sheng talked or not, in the end, he still had to die.
How could Lin Chang’sheng not know what He Jie was thinking?
"You’re rushing me so much, I’m having trouble remembering... I think the cave mansion is called the Sword Immortal Cave Mansion, it’s somewhere near a temple, I think—"
As he spoke, Lin Chang’sheng appeared to be deep in thought.
This made He Jie frantic with anxiety. "Are you saying it’s Sword Immortal Mu Zhen Tian’s cave mansion? Is it at the Sword Immortal Temple?"
Back in the day, Sword Immortal Mu Zhen Tian was a legend throughout the Immortal Realm. So many people searched for his cave mansion, but no one ever found it.
Who would’ve thought Lin Chang’sheng knew about it?
"That’s right, it’s near the Sword Immortal Temple, but it’s not inside the temple. If you want to know where it is, I can take you there myself! Otherwise, if I just tell you now, you’ll probably kill me the next second to keep me quiet, right?"
Lin Chang’sheng seemed to see through He Jie’s intentions.
This made He Jie hesitate on the spot.
If he didn’t kill Lin Chang’sheng, it might leave trouble down the line.
But if he did—he’d lose out on a major Immortal Cave Mansion.
"Well, Lin Chang’sheng, you almost had old me fooled. If you really knew where the Immortal Cave Mansion was, you would’ve told Yu Qianxue ages ago, wouldn’t you? Why keep it to yourself just for me? You’re saying all this just to survive, but I’m not going to give you the chance! Go to hell!"
Seeing He Jie’s wavering, Lin Chang’sheng thought maybe he’d fooled him.
Who could have guessed this old bastard would catch on so quick? With a shout, He Jie blasted out a palm strike at Lin Chang’sheng.
The raw Primordial Power of a Middle Stage Tribulation Crossing cultivator was absolutely terrifying—not something Lin Chang’sheng could withstand.
As the palm seal erupted, it was as if the heavens and earth themselves came crashing down.
Lin Chang’sheng instantly pulled out the Ancient Bronze Mirror, pouring his Primordial Power into it. A mirror space formed before him.
He honestly didn’t know whether the Ancient Bronze Mirror could withstand a Tribulation Crossing cultivator’s attack—but there were no other options left!
The palm seal crashed down—yet, in the next instant, it mysteriously vanished into the mirror space.
"What the..."
He Jie was so shocked he couldn’t speak.
"Another Heaven-Reaching Immortal Treasure?"
He Jie’s old eyes widened, face full of disbelief.
Lin Chang’sheng was just an Integration Stage cultivator, and yet he apparently held two Heaven-Reaching Immortal Treasures?
Unbelievable.
Whoosh—
The next moment, a far more ferocious palm seal shot out from the mirror space.
Its speed was so insane, even He Jie couldn’t react.
This strike was even more vicious than the one he’d sent out himself.
He Jie had no time to dodge. He could only lash out with a punch, trying to shatter the incoming palm seal.
Boom—
Fist and palm collided violently in midair, unleashing an earth-shaking explosion.
A sound like thunder rumbled out in all directions.
The next instant, He Jie was sent flying, his Elemental Shield shattered by the blow.
He spat blood in midair, clearly badly injured.
If he hadn’t been careless, maybe he could’ve dodged his own reflected strike.
Who would have thought Lin Chang’sheng, just an Integration Stage cultivator, could make any trouble? Who would have expected him to have two Heaven-Reaching Immortal Treasures?
He’d really tripped up in the gutter this time.
A Tribulation Crossing cultivator’s body was absurdly strong. Even after taking that hit, He Jie was far from out of the fight.
"You’ve really opened my eyes, kid. But you brought me two Heaven-Reaching Immortal Treasures—so I’m not going to be polite!"
He Jie stood up, eyes locked on Lin Chang’sheng.
If attacking with a palm seal would only get reflected, then a flesh attack couldn’t be reflected, right?
He Jie stepped toward Lin Chang’sheng, his Tribulation Crossing aura so intense, Lin Chang’sheng couldn’t even run away.
"Die!"
Right in front of Lin Chang’sheng, He Jie punched, aiming straight for his heart.
If this blow hit, even with the Nine Dragon Venerable Body, it was doubtful Lin Chang’sheng could endure a Tribulation Crossing cultivator’s charged strike.
"Is this where I die?"
Lin Chang’sheng was unwilling to accept this fate.
Boom—
In the next heartbeat, an overwhelming power erupted from within Lin Chang’sheng, blasting the sure-victory He Jie straight back.
At the same time, a blade of Sword Aura flashed—countless sharp streams of Sword Qi lanced toward He Jie.
"What...?"
He Jie’s heart lurched. Where the hell did this ridiculous power come from?
He could faintly sense Immortal Power—it was far, far stronger than what he could muster.
In the blinding light, he saw an absolutely beautiful woman swinging her sword at him.
Schlick— ƒrēewebnovel.com
Schlick—
Sword auras slashed across He Jie’s body, making blood spray in all directions.
Normally, a mid-Tribulation Crossing cultivator wouldn’t even get scratched by most attacks.
But He Jie’s Elemental Shield was shredded like wet paper under the Sword Aura.
And the one launching the attack now was none other than Xiaobai.
After absorbing nine Heaven and Earth Immortal Veins, Xiaobai had recovered a good chunk of her Immortal Power.
Back when she faced the Celestial Emperor City’s Lord, Xiaobai could only exchange one blow then flee with Lin Chang’sheng.
But now, even in front of a Tribulation Crossing expert, she could finish him off with ease.
Though it would burn through a lot of Immortal Power.
He Jie probably wouldn’t believe it, even in death—he actually died at the hands of a junior like Lin Chang’sheng.
Some serious bad luck.
When He Jie landed, his body was full of holes from the Sword Qi, barely hanging onto his last breath.
"You—you—are—"
He Jie wanted to say something, but before he could finish, the life left his eyes.
Buzz—
In the next instant, He Jie’s Divine Soul broke out from his body. He thought he could escape, warn the Hall Master, and set up an ambush for Lin Chang’sheng.
But as soon as he got out, a massive black curtain fell over him.
Lin Chang’sheng had swung the Celestial Soul Banner.
No soul could escape the Soul Banner’s grasp.
"Let’s go!"
After slaying He Jie, Lin Chang’sheng stored the body in his Storage Bag, then immediately fled toward Wangyue City.
Meanwhile, the Sect Elders of the various major sects were closing in fast.
Many were even using their Divine Sense to scan the scene, witnessing Lin Chang’sheng kill He Jie with their own eyes—making their hearts pound in shock.
So Lin Chang’sheng really did have a powerhouse helping him—enough to kill a mid-Tribulation Crossing cultivator like He Jie?
Just how strong was this backing? Could it be someone at the Immortal Realm?
Lin Chang’sheng entered Wangyue City, heading straight for the Divine Pill Tower.
The people in Divine Pill Tower had just felt that huge battle outside the city—they figured two powerhouses were fighting, maybe for days on end. But instead, it was over in moments.
"Isn’t that Elder Lin?"
Wu Gang was startled to see Lin Chang’sheng arrive—he thought it would be years before they met again. But here Lin Chang’sheng was, back in Wangyue City so soon.
Perfect timing, actually—Wu Gang was stuck on bottleneck while researching a new pill. Maybe he could ask Lin Chang’sheng for help.
"Elder Lin, what happened to you?"
Wu Gang took in Lin Chang’sheng’s battered, haggard state, unable to help asking.
"To be honest, the Sect Elders from all the major sects are chasing me. I’ve been slandered as an Evil Cultivator, so I—"
Lin Chang’sheng let out a resigned sigh.
Upon hearing that, Wu Gang was immediately furious. "Don’t worry, Elder Lin. Now that you’re an Honored Guest Elder of our Divine Pill Pavilion, you are under our protection. Anyone dares to hurt you, they’re making an enemy of the Pavilion!"
Hearing this, Lin Chang’sheng was finally reassured.
But Liu Siyue, standing off to the side, was clearly displeased.
"Master, isn’t this likely to bring disaster on us? Besides, Lin Chang’sheng might actually be an Evil Cultivator, you know!"
Liu Siyue would love nothing more than for Lin Chang’sheng to die.
Because this guy looked like nothing but a scoundrel to her—and he’d even seen her naked. Better if he just died.
"Watch your mouth!"
Wu Gang snapped at her.
In the next second, all the Sect Elders arrived one after another at Wangyue City. Sensing Lin Chang’sheng’s location, they rushed over.
