The Wandering Immortal

Chapter 65 Those major sects all deserve to die
In just a moment, Qinghe regained her mobility. As the ice crystals on her body shattered, she caught a glimpse of Jiang Yuan kneeling on the ice, blood flowing from his ears, writhing in pain, clearly seriously injured.

Suddenly, Cui Qinghe's killing intent surged. With a sharp shriek, the Green Fox Bow struck again. The three early-stage Golden Core cultivators, who had been frozen by Wan Haiming, had just landed on the ice and hadn't even regained consciousness when they were pierced by three invisible arrows and then sliced ​​apart by thousands of peach blossoms, turning them into three piles of mud.

At the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm, he managed to retrieve his magic weapon and withstand the fatal blow, but he felt only chest tightness and shortness of breath.

Shen Wangzhi opened his mouth and spat out a blood-red flying knife, which shot towards the abdomen of a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator like lightning. It was his newly refined natal magic weapon, which even Liu Caiwei had never seen before.

The mid-stage Golden Core cultivator was already in a state of panic and confusion, completely bewildered by the outcome. He simply dodged the flying knife attack on instinct.

A phantom figure appeared before the mid-stage Golden Core cultivator, as if waiting there in advance. It opened its mouth and spewed out a cloud of pink mist, which was the bewitching spell of the flower fairy Qiongniang.

To everyone's surprise, the mid-stage Golden Core cultivator was stunned for just a moment before twelve invisible arrows enveloped him. Three arrows pierced through Qiong Niang's illusory image and struck the mid-stage Golden Core cultivator, followed by tens of thousands of peach petals, which buried him in an instant.

On the ice surface, which stretched for miles, peach blossoms covered the ground, and all was silent.

The entire battle lasted only a few breaths. Liu Caiwei didn't make a single move and remained frozen the whole time. She only realized it was over when she woke up.

Qinghe flashed to Jiang Yuan's side, fed him a Great Rejuvenation Pill, and used her Rejuvenation Technique to heal his injuries.

Shen Wangzhi looked around and saw that only the mid-Foundation Establishment kid was still frozen and hadn't woken up yet, so he grabbed him and stuck two talismans on him.

After about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Jiang Yuan finally regained consciousness and asked Qing He to stop the Rejuvenation Technique.

"Clean up and leave immediately."

Shen Wangzhi understood perfectly well that the people from the Laoshan Hall of Affairs must have left soul lamps inside the gate. If someone died outside, the soul lamps would go out, and the Nascent Soul cultivators would arrive very quickly.

The people were already dead, so there was no point in saying anything. Jiang Yuan raised his hand and took five storage bags, put the corpses together, and burned them clean with fireballs.

By this time, the ice had begun to melt, and the ashes blown into the sea left no trace.

After burning for a while, Jiang Yuan discovered that Wan Haiming couldn't be burned completely. Only then did he realize that the guy was wearing an inner armor that was impervious to flames. It was actually a treasure, so he had no choice but to keep it.

Wan Haiming's soul was contained within the red thread and could not be destroyed in a short time, nor could it be released now. Although a late-stage Golden Core cultivator could not separate his primordial spirit from his body like a Nascent Soul cultivator, he had already cultivated to the point where his soul was condensed and could harm others with just his soul.

Jiangyuan has not fully recovered yet, so we can only sit in Qinghe's lotus flying boat.

Shen Wangzhi still used talismans as his flying vehicle, carrying Liu Caiwei and a mid-stage Foundation Establishment disciple from Laoshan.

As they flew south, Jiang Yuan had already sealed the five storage bags, including Wan Haiming's inner armor, which he had also sealed with talismans and stuffed into the storage bag.

A major sect like Laoshan would certainly have numerous tracking methods, and anything they touch could potentially be traced back to them.

If Jiang Yuan were to form a golden core, he would have various means to extinguish the tracking technique, so we must be extra careful now.

An hour later, Jiang Yuan felt much better and told Shen Wangzhi that he wanted to interrogate that Foundation Establishment kid.

Jiang Yuan grabbed the boy and pulled him to his side, binding his hands and feet with magic before removing the immobilization talisman.

The kid had no idea what was going on, how he ended up in the hands of these people, and he was adrift at sea, neither up nor down.

"Senior, please spare me! I was confused for a moment and shouldn't have talked nonsense!"

"A moment of folly? Your few words caused the deaths of five Golden Core cultivators from Laoshan. Even if I spare you, Laoshan probably won't." They're all dead? The Chief of the Hall of Affairs is dead? How could that be?

"How did you recognize us? How did you know that we were the ones who severely injured the Golden Core cultivator from Laoshan at Shennong Peak?"

The kid was completely terrified and stammered for a long time before Jiang Yuan finally understood.

This kid actually went to the Junshan Secret Realm too, and escaped with Jiang Yuan. He was only in the early stage of Foundation Establishment at the time, and he personally witnessed Jiang Yuan's ice magic, including Qinghe's red lotus.

Later, the Laoshan Hall of Affairs secretly investigated the matter at Shennong Peak, and the Foundation Establishment cultivators within the sect were unaware of it, so things remained peaceful for several years.

The girl who stumbled into the demon-hunting trap a few days ago is a direct descendant of the old sect master Lan of Laoshan. The young lady was frightened on the deserted island and went back to throw a tantrum, saying that several Golden Core cultivators had hunted down demons and almost killed her.

The deacon summoned the boy and interrogated him for a while, asking who they were. The boy answered one by one, saying that they were the rogue cultivators in the Junshan Secret Realm, and specifically mentioned Guan Canghai and Cui Qinghe, one who was skilled in ice magic and the other who could use fire-type red lotus.

The Laoshan Hall of Affairs immediately got excited. Wan Haiming personally interrogated him for a day, and all the details matched up. They were rogue cultivators around thirty years old, a man and a woman. The man was skilled in ice magic, and the woman knew how to use the Red Lotus and was a wood-type alchemist.

Wan Haiming then went to great lengths, preferring to arrest the wrong person rather than let one go.

Jiang Yuan sighed. It seemed these people would never be able to return to the Central Plains.

This young man from Laoshan, who almost made a great contribution, didn't even have a chance to go into the sea to feed the fish. He was frozen into ice crystals that shattered in mid-air, leaving not even a bone fragment. If Wan Haiming had seen this magic, he would have known that his death was not in vain.

The four flew south for a day and a night without rest. Finally, they spotted a small island and landed to rest for a while.

Jiang Yuan broke down the matter from beginning to end, and the Laoshan Deacon Hall now knew the whole story. Of the six people who entered the Junshan Secret Realm together, Li Shouzhong and Zhang Chi were probably also implicated.

Laoshan even knew that Cui Qinghe had left from the outer gate of Luofu Mountain and possessed Chu Yunfei's magic weapon, the Green Fox Bow. With so many people dead, she would definitely have a falling out with Luofu Mountain.

Now these four are tied together; going back means certain death.

Liu Caiwei was still in shock. Guan Canghai had actually managed to kill a late-stage Golden Core cultivator single-handedly, and Cui Qinghe had killed four Golden Core cultivators with just two arrows. It was terrifying.

Shen Wangzhi was much calmer now. "It seems that I've ruined things for you. Whether it's the Junshan Secret Realm or this voyage, it was all my idea!"

Jiang Yuan smiled bitterly, “Brother Shen, there’s no need to blame yourself. Wan Haiming is right. If you don’t want people to know, then don’t do it in the first place. The law of cause and effect is inescapable. It seems that the four of us will have no choice but to set up our own business in the outer sea.”

Qinghe was still furious. "Taiyi Sect, Laoshan Dao Sect, all these great sects deserve to die!"

Liu Caiwei was so frightened that tears welled up in her eyes.

Shen Wangzhi held Liu Caiwei's hand and said, "Sister Liu, don't worry, I'll take care of everything!"

Jiang Yuan inexplicably thought of the Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Dragon Star Demon Sect, holding the Thunderfire Bow and standing on the lotus flying boat, her heroic figure that could destroy cities and sects with a single arrow!

Jiang Yuan pondered to himself that before setting sail, he had only sent a talisman to Lao Lu, instructing him to return to the Five Ridges Cave in six months. If no one had disturbed it, then it could be considered safe.

Hopefully, they won't be found by Laoshan, after all, everyone knows that Lao Lu is Qinghe's master.

At this moment, the four of them had long since gone beyond the range of the Laoshan Sea Chart, and the chart had long been burned by Jiang Yuan. Looking around, all they could see was the vast ocean!
