Fantasy: Immortality Begins with Absorbing Demons

Chapter 785 Descending the Mountain (Part 4)

Location of the main gate of the East City.

As the five men approached quickly, the goalkeeper captain greeted them with a smile.

The leader immediately stopped, took off his straw hat, and said a few words with a low laugh.

Immediately, the goalkeeper captain waved his hand, preparing to open the gate and let them through.

“That is…” Just then, the ruffian by the city wall seemed to have made a major discovery. His eyes widened and he stood up abruptly.

"It's them! The people from the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect!! Third Brother, what you promised... can you keep your promise?!"

He pointed at the five people who were just about to enter the city and shouted loudly. Instantly, everyone's eyes were drawn to them.

The leader had just taken off his straw hat and hadn't had time to put it back on yet.

She turned out to be a woman with a good appearance and figure.

However, a scar the size of a finger on her forehead gave her a more ruthless look, completely erasing her gentle and dignified demeanor.

It was none other than Gongsun Di, who had just retreated from the Black Mist Mountain and the inner city headquarters of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect back to Huayang City.

She looked at the wiry man standing not far away, shouting and making a ruckus, with a hint of amusement in her eyes, her gaze unfriendly.

"What Ten Thousand Beasts Sect? You filthy scoundrel, don't be mistaken! This is Fu Longyue, the head of the Huayang Iron Wolf Martial Arts School. You'd better open your eyes wide and not mistake me for someone else!"

A man jumped out from next to Gongsun Di and shouted angrily.

For some reason, one could detect a hint of wavering in his words, as if he were all bark and no bite, hiding something. "Impossible, the portrait Third Brother gave us..." the triangular-eyed man shouted.

But before he could finish speaking, he was immediately pulled back.

"I'm so sorry, so sorry. We mistook you for someone else. We apologize, we apologize. Please forgive us, sir. We...we'll be leaving now, we'll be leaving now..."

Liu Laosan arrived at this moment and spotted Gongsun Di at a glance. He was quick-witted and, with a smile on his face, stepped forward to smooth things over.

"If it's a misunderstanding... then get out of here!" the man next to Gongsun Di shouted sternly.

"Yes, yes, yes, we'll leave right away, we'll leave right away..." Liu Laosan chuckled obsequiously, dragging the triangular-eyed man away.

The moment he turned around, a glint of malice flashed in his eyes.

If you swallow your anger now, you'll be begging for mercy on your knees later.

Thinking back to what happened that day, the strength the other party displayed, and the promises they made, Liu Laosan felt a surge of courage.

Speaking of which...

A woman as beautiful and strong as the one just now.

He hasn't tasted what it's like yet.

Work hard alongside those adults, and if you can strip that woman naked, you can get a share...

Liu Laosan felt a burning sensation in his lower abdomen and subconsciously licked his lips.

"Wait a minute..." Suddenly, Gongsun Di's voice rang out softly from behind.

Liu Laosan immediately composed himself, turned around quickly, and smiled: "Master, what are your orders? I, Liu Laosan, may not ask for much, but helping to find people, recover lost items, and so on... in the Huayang area, these small jobs are no problem for me."

"It's nothing, it's just that...your clothes...aren't they a bit too loose?" Gongsun Di looked him up and down, uttering words that puzzled those around him. "Clothes...?" Liu Laosan was taken aback, looking down at himself. "My clothes..."

Swish! !

Before he could finish speaking, Gongsun Di suddenly sprang up and appeared behind him like lightning.

Clang...

Liu Laosan's expression changed drastically, and he reached out to draw his sword.

However, his mediocre skills were only good enough to bully ordinary people; they were simply not enough to deal with a young master like Gongsun Di from the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect.

There was a loud bang.

A ring of white ash exploded in the air, and a dent appeared on the huge city gate. Liu Laosan was like a wooden stake, firmly nailed to the center of the dent.

His lower body was almost completely embedded in the blade, a bloody mess, and he was gushing mouthfuls of blood, clearly on the verge of death. "I don't remember... anyone like you in the outer courtyard? This knife... tell me, from which disciple of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect did you steal it?"

Gongsun Di revealed a cruel smile, slowly walked to the city gate, and gently took off the emerald green wolf head pendant hanging from the hilt of his sword.

As the true energy was poured in and activated, the wolf's eyes indeed glowed faintly, emitting a captivating, eerie light, as if it were searching for food and hunting.

"You... will do it sooner or later..." As soon as Liu Laosan spoke, his mouth filled with blood, and he could barely say anything.

The news that the Myriad Beasts Sect had offended the Yuanmiao Sect and was forced to disband has already spread.

News of the dissatisfaction of high-ranking members of the Yuanmiao Sect with him and their intention to launch a rebuke spread quickly.

Although the Myriad Beasts Sect is strong, it cannot withstand the even stronger Yuanmiao Sect.

As the overlord of Yunzhou, the Yuanmiao Sect, even without issuing explicit orders, could easily garner support from many who would actively seek to curry favor with the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect by expressing their discontent. Just a few days ago, he had made a connection and devised a plan to ambush a group of disciples from the outer courtyard of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect.

After the mission was accomplished, Liu Laosan, a local who was responsible for leading the way, also received a considerable reward.

This fine sword is one of them.

The other party also claimed that their status was no less than that of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect. They said that as long as they could win the favor of Master Yuan Miao, they could not only obtain some mere external objects, but also directly join the Lower Six Peaks and receive instruction from the elders of the Upper Three Peaks.

Liu Laosan was originally just a street rogue; how could he resist such temptation?

It's simply a matter of tracking people by their appearance, keeping an eye on passersby, and promptly alerting them; for that, you can earn a generous reward: secret manuals, treasured swords, and true martial arts techniques...

What a bargain these deals are!

Of course, Liu Laosan knew his own limitations and didn't intend to use this opportunity to rise to prominence. His only plan was to use it to acquire wealth, marry, have children, and give his descendants better opportunities...

Unexpectedly...

It was with this knife... that things went wrong...

"The Myriad Beasts Sect... has offended... the Six Peaks... sooner or later... they'll all be in trouble..."

Knowing he was doomed, and with death looming, Liu Laosan wanted to utter a harsh word.

However, the light in his eyes quickly dimmed, the vitality in his body rapidly dissipated, and he gradually became still.

"Get them!"

Gongsun Di didn't even turn his head. With a burst of true strength, he shook the booklet out of the corpse's arms.

With a gentle wave of her hand, she casually flipped to a page in the booklet, revealing detailed personnel information, and her expression instantly changed. Ah…

no, do not want!

Sir, have mercy! !

Amidst cries of pleas for mercy and screams of agony.

The disciples of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect who came with Gongsun Di, upon receiving a command, acted like wolves and tigers, easily capturing Liu Laosan and his gang of scoundrels alive.

Many ordinary people who were queuing around the scene started fighting when they saw someone die. They were all pale with fright and their legs were trembling uncontrollably.

If it weren't for the city gate guards sealing off the surrounding area early on, these people would probably have disappeared long ago.

"What a bunch of hyenas, only interested in profit! My Ten Thousand Beasts Sect has never treated them badly, but they turn their backs on us the moment we're in trouble. They're truly heartless and treacherous!"

Gongsun Di gradually discovered more information about Liu Laosan. Several distinctive features made it easy for her to guess which faction was behind Liu Laosan's actions.

After all, someone with such a deep understanding of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, able to meticulously record the details of each branch's members, their portraits, and their birth dates…

There are very few powers that have reached this level.

However, at this critical juncture, Gongsun Di also has no time to cause trouble for others.

Think for a moment.

Gongsun Di quickly got up, preparing to leave first.

She would pass this information on to her fellow disciples through special channels to prepare them for potential problems.

To avoid being ambushed from behind and falling into a trap without realizing it.

"Captain Hu, I'll leave the follow-up work here to you."

Gongsun Di greeted the city gate captain and led her team briskly towards the main gate. Her identity as the Iron Wolf Pavilion Master…...

With the cover provided by both the Martial Alliance and the Hu family, the cover-up was flawless.

At least, it would be extremely difficult for an ordinary person to find any trace of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect members within Huayang City.

Captain Hu immediately understood and shouted loudly.

"Today, we have Fu Longyue, the Iron Wolf Pavilion Master, whose keen insight and unparalleled bravery are here. This Liu Laosan... is a wanted murderer who has been hiding for many years, whose crimes are heinous and deserve to be punished... Elders and fellow villagers, come and identify your relatives and friends involved in the murders of that year..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere at the scene changed rapidly.

"Good riddance! Good riddance! My second uncle's daughter was killed by this villain..." A young man quickly stepped out from the crowd, his face full of indignation, and kicked the corpse.

"Yes, yes, it's my neighbor's house..."

"Indeed, I remember back then, the Huang family was also involved in something committed by this villain..."

One of them took the lead, and the crowd immediately became agitated, recalling many unsolved cases, and began to curse.

The initial panic and fear turned into excitement and jubilation.

The corpse on the ground was immediately covered with footprints and saliva.

……………

……………

The night was hazy and gloomy.

At this time, only a few hazy moonlight shone through the night, and the surroundings were pitch black, as if shrouded in a thin veil.

The vast headquarters of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect was shrouded in a white mist, the outlines of the buildings appearing and disappearing in the darkness, and all was quiet.

There seemed to be no one there.

Ow~~~

The mournful, drawn-out howls of wolves echoed continuously from all around, making the silence even more profound.

Click click...

In the still of the night, the piercing sound of the winch turning became even more jarring.

"Hurry up and go. Hesitation is weakness. You sects' future depends on your survival. You must survive! Surviving is the greatest help you can give to your sects!"

On the city wall, Old Fu's wrinkled face was full of kindness.
