Fantasy: Immortality Begins with Absorbing Demons

Chapter 639 Willingness to Give (Part 3)

Zhong Han's words make sense; if the Seventh Academy were still around, they wouldn't have been hunted down by the government troops.

With his current strength, he could easily subdue all the academy leaders and gather all seven true techniques. Even without the general outline, he was confident that he could recreate the Heavenly Evolution Seven Transformations Mystic Technique based on his panel deductions.

But now...

It's all in vain...

"Never mind... everything will go smoothly anywhere..." Han Yi said with a hint of melancholy, "Then I'll choose the Eternal Night Bird True Form..."

After establishing his true form, he felt a sudden sense of emptiness and began to silently examine the details.

The Eternal Night Bird. A legendary divine bird, pure white in color, that sleeps year-round in the darkness of thick ice, hence its name.

Every time it awakens, a shimmering white glow spreads through the eternal night, dispelling darkness and bringing light wherever it passes, ensuring the aurora's perpetual presence.

This is a powerful sacred beast on par with the Phoenix Clan, possessing unparalleled speed. It is said that when the Eternal Night Bird exerts its full strength, even light can only follow behind it.

Of course, legends are legends, and the real-life counterpart could not possibly be so exaggerated.

However, this also shows that the true form of the Eternal Night Bird brings Grandmasters an increase in speed and agility.

Han Yi now possesses the powerful blood and qi brought by the Heaven-Mending Technique. After his physical body is liberated, he is like a barbarian, with a huge increase in strength. He has no shortage of power, and his defense and recovery are also not weak.

Therefore, increasing the speed can also make up for his shortcomings.

“The Eternal Night Bird…” Zhong Han pondered for a moment, then nodded in agreement. “Indeed, it is the one that best suits you among the eight true forms. I will send you the corresponding experience books from our predecessors later.”

"Okay." Han Yi nodded.

The two drank tea for a while longer, discussed their future plans and how to prepare for the annual mountain opening season, before leaving together.

The general plan is to increase the external reconnaissance capabilities.

The main task is to observe any suspicious external movements, especially those related to the government troops, to prevent being surrounded by a large army.

Not only were the two of them busy, but everyone inside the Nine Turns Gate was thrown into a state of tension as the sudden heavy snow disrupted their peaceful lives.

……………

……………

call…...

The snow has lessened.

The wind seemed to have subsided. Tiny white snowflakes drifted gently down with the breeze.

The snowflakes drifted left and right, swaying gently in the wind.

Amidst the charred ruins, a thick, carpet-like layer of white covered the landscape, creating an atmosphere of pristine purity.

But every now and then, bones without flesh, broken beams with fire marks, and blood-stained stones would suddenly appear.

One piece in the east, one piece in the west.

It's like an extremely beautiful painting with one ugly scar after another, utterly unsightly.

The winter snow gradually stopped, with only weak gusts of air moving through the forest, stirring up scattered snowflakes that danced in the air like teardrops, soothing the wounded earth.

Click...

A dead branch was crushed by a footstep.

*Snap!* A black boot adorned with flying cloud patterns slowly stepped onto the Green-Clad Alliance's encampment, which resembled a garbage dump ruin.

Chun Rongrong was covered in blood, her clothes were tattered, and she had a blood-stained short sword in her mouth.

One of her hands hung limply in front of her. Looking up, her shoulder was only connected by a thin layer of skin and flesh, with green and blood-red light spots constantly tug and fight back and forth on the wound.

Most striking of all was the corpse behind her.

It was clear that it was the carcass of a huge ice wolf. The white fur on it had completely disappeared, replaced by countless bloody holes, as if someone had used numerous syringes to pierce its veins and drain them clean.

Even though the corpse was shriveled and shrunken, its body was still as long as two adults, which was enough to deduce how huge it must have been in life.

With her only remaining hand, Chun Rongrong struggled to carry the corpse on her back, standing blankly before the ruins. "This is... my Green Robe Alliance...?!" Her eyes blazed with anger, fury, and madness.

She walked step by step into the ruins, the intense flames of hatred constantly exploding within her.

Arriving at the lakeside, Chun Rongrong lowered her head.

Looking down at the thick ice layer, there were large patches of black things that resembled menacing tree roots.

She fell silent immediately.

Through the ice, she could make out that they were charred and twisted hands.

Their hands had already reached out of the water, but were scorched by the fire and forced back in, where they eventually suffocated to death in the scorching, oxygen-deprived environment.

One after another, strange and ferocious faces, terrifying eyes that never closed in death.

It was as if she were begging for a quick death, or perhaps cursing. "Are you... blaming me...?" Chun Rongrong closed her eyes.

Even with her eyes closed, those familiar faces and desperate eyes still lingered in her mind.

"I will avenge you..." She slowly opened her eyes, staring intently at the area beneath the ice.

She leaped and landed on the island in the lake.

There used to be a dark green pavilion standing here, which she and her sisters built bit by bit.

And now…

Chun Rongrong looked at the circle of charred black tree trunks that had fallen under the bombardment, and the countless debris or corpse-like things scattered all over the ground.

The ground beneath Fang Jiulian's cannons was almost completely burned to ruins, with charred fire marks everywhere. Charcoal and stones were mixed together, all blackened and indistinguishable.

“I remember, the words on this plaque were written by my own hand…” Chun Rongrong picked up a small piece of wood from the ruins.

The character "青" is faintly engraved on it.

“My Qingyulou…” Her eyes suddenly reddened.

"Second sister, third sister, everyone... everyone... this... is my home..." she said, word by word.

"No matter who it is... no matter where it is... I don't care about anything... you destroyed my home, killed my family, I want you dead!!!"

boom! ! !

A massive whirlwind of energy rapidly spread outwards from her center.

The ice cracked, and the corpses, as if released, plunged into the depths of the lake.

All the snowflakes, as if being pushed, revealed the scorched, blackened earth, with a ring of snowdrifts appearing at the edge. "Oh dear... isn't this Alliance Leader Chun? Who made you look so disheveled?" Just then, a voice that was neither male nor female rang out.

"You are...?!" Chun Rongrong stared at the man in the flying fish robe who slowly appeared out of thin air. "Qu Yang... you old eunuch, how dare you come up in front of me? Are you tired of living?"

"My Lord, you can't say that... We did have a falling out before, but this time, I'm here to help you..."

Qu Yang's voice was extremely high-pitched and thin, as if he were speaking in a pinched throat, and it was extremely unpleasant to hear.

"You'll help me...?" Chun Rongrong sneered. "What, do you really not know your background? Dark Star Bright Light, the dead eunuchs of Dark Star Pavilion, if it weren't for you constantly stirring up trouble, eavesdropping on the world, and eliminating dissidents... would the world be in such chaos?"

"So...you want to use me...get out!!!"

The final "Get out!" was accompanied by a shockwave that tore through the air and shook the earth. Like an air cannon, it formed a visible white wave and slammed into Qu Yang.

"Don't be so nervous... I've come with sincerity..." Qu Yang's figure flickered, as if becoming transparent, and he flashed past.

boom! !

The sound waves passed directly through Qu Yang's body, shattering and exploding a large fan-shaped area behind him. The power of that roar was evident.

Qu Yang, like a woman, frowned and gently patted her chest, seemingly relieved.

"Alliance Leader, don't you want to know who destroyed your Green Robe Alliance? Don't you want revenge?"

He turned his head and looked at Chun Rongrong.

"Do you need to tell me? Besides the government troops and Kou Hu, who else could it be?" Chun Rongrong looked at him coldly.

"Since you know, let me ask you, based on your current state..." Qu Yang looked you up and down, clicked his tongue, "Do you think you can be a match for Kou Hu? Can you successfully take revenge? You'd probably just be handing your head over your own shoulders for nothing."

"What? You want to come with me to the government army camp to ambush and kill Kou Hu?" Chun Rongrong said coldly.

Even when she was in good condition, she wouldn't dare claim she was a 100% match for Kou Hu. Moreover, she was severely injured after the ambush by the Blood Demon.

Let alone Kou Hu, she probably couldn't even get through those imperial guards' formations.

"That's impossible..." Qu Yang flicked his flying fish robe and chuckled, "That's naturally impossible."

"Then what are you doing here? Trying to kick someone when they're down? The Wolf King's descendants have already been taken away, only the core remains. If you want to seize the secret realm, then come on!" Chun Rongrong revealed a cruel smile.

"The Ice Wolf King's descendant is missing?" Qu Yang was genuinely unaware of this and asked in astonishment, "I haven't heard that the Imperial Guards have found your Myriad Manifestations Realm... How could this be... Don't misunderstand, I genuinely wanted to help you."

“You come and help me…” Chun Rongrong stared at him, “I don’t believe it. You bunch of lunatics from Dark Star Pavilion actually have a moment of kindness…”

"Alliance Leader Chun, nothing in this world is eternally unchanging," Qu Yang said with a slight smile. "Just like you, who could have imagined that the Myriad Manifestations lineage, which ranks among the top of the hundred lineages of the demon race, would be completely wiped out in one day... Even the renowned Princess Rongrong would have her moments of hardship and despair..."

"If your so-called help is just a way to mock me... then... get out of my way!" Chun Rongrong's eyes narrowed, filled with murderous intent.

“I am truly sincere; the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Liu Quan is now the governor of Yunzhou, and my Dark Star Pavilion branch assists him in his work. Kou Hu is also one of his targets.”

Sensing that Chun Rongrong was truly intent on killing him, Qu Yang quickly explained, "Liu Quan..." Chun Rongrong seemed lost in thought.

She had heard about this as well; within Yunzhou, there were several different factions. Liu Quan and Kou Hu, the leaders of two different factions, were mutually hostile.

Seeing that she seemed somewhat interested, Qu Yang pressed on: "Think about it, who else might help you now? The demon saints are all guarding the northern lands. They are bound by the contract with the Tantai family and stay in the demon saint palace all year round, so they can't easily show their faces."

Aside from them, your Three Saints Sect's subordinates—Mingyu Sect, Peacock Mountain, White Camel Ridge… while powerful, are either too far away to be of any use, or too weak to offer any real assistance.

So, besides us, who else can lend you a helping hand at this time? Even if we can't help you directly, gathering intelligence, forging identities, arranging opportunities... how could you manage these things alone without us?"

"Hmm..." Chun Rongrong pondered for a moment. She had to admit, Qu Yang was right.

Even though she knew perfectly well that the people from the Dark Star Pavilion were only trying to use her, she seemed to have no other choice at the moment.

There is a trade-off; if you don't accept their help, it seems difficult to get what you want.

So, she was moved.

"I hope you're not lying to me." Chun Rongrong bent down and gently put the wolf king's corpse down from her back.

"Little Bai, we're home. Get some rest. No one will bother you anymore... I will avenge you..."

A pit slowly appeared in the soil, burying the body inside.

"The stars and moon open the sky, and mountains and rivers line the land." She took out a blue bead and tapped it gently.

The bead exploded instantly, turning into countless blue light spots that gathered and passed through.

The blue light spots spun rapidly, quickly connecting to form a gate-shaped ring. Inside the gate was a blue vortex, swirling and twisting erratically, like the center of a storm tornado.

As the vortex gradually took shape, a crack split open from the middle, accompanied by booming, exploding, and decomposing sounds, and a continuous stream of blue liquid flowed out from the crack.

The liquid was so viscous that it almost solidified, a dazzling blue color, as if it had a life of its own, flowing continuously into Chun Rongrong's body.

"Paying the price of destroying a secret realm to forcibly absorb its power to heal injuries... No wonder she was once Princess Rongrong... She's ruthless enough..." Qu Yang's expression changed as he watched this scene, and he was speechless for a long time.

Secret realms are incredibly precious. Even small ones.

Within the entire Yunzhou region, apart from the Yuanmiao Sect, which possesses a top-tier secret realm that can be described as a blessed land, they do not care about such a small secret realm.

Every other power would want a secret realm, right? But at most, only the top five powers could possess one. Even Fang Jiulian, why did he hesitate to withdraw his troops before? Wasn't it because he wanted to find the secret realm hidden by the Green-Clad Alliance?

"Without the Green-Clad Alliance...without me...the Myriad Manifestations Realm will eventually fall into someone else's hands...so, it's better to make full use of it..."

Chun Rongrong gently landed from mid-air, her body completely covered by a layer of blue light membrane, and her injuries were rapidly improving within the blue halo.

"Anyone who hurts me... must die!!!"

She slowly opened her eyes, and two beams of blue light shot out from them like lightning.
