Reincarnation Girl Becomes Immortal

“Logically speaking, everyone should have some, but my situation is special, and my resistance is much stronger.” Xi Heng flicked his fingers, and a wisp of deep red flame appeared on his fingertip.

"You... are the cultivator who has been saved from evil, as recorded in ancient texts?"

"More or less." The white-haired girl blinked.

"About that?"

"Well, to put it simply, I actually harbor a great deal of resentment within me." Xi Heng waved his hand.

As soon as she finished speaking, Ms. Jin You involuntarily shrank further into her seat, as if wanting to get further away from her.

After a moment, he said, "So you really are a heretical cultivator, aren't you?"

"Not."

"Then, could it be that you are actually a ghost?" Jin You swallowed hard, his finger tracing the side of the flying boat he was leaning against.

With a strong pull, one can leave the airship and fall from the sky.

However, after realizing that the person in front of him was actually inside his body and not on the airship, he slowly let go of her hand.

"Although I have also died once, I should not belong to the category of ghosts and evil spirits." Xi Heng's illusory figure sat in the other party's empty seat, casually glancing at the girl next to him who was adjusting the long-range telescope in her arms.

He crossed his legs and said simply, "I am currently waiting to be reborn. After being reborn, I will be a normal cultivator."

"As expected, I've been possessed by a demon..." the other person thought to themselves, their voice heavy with unease.

The eerie white-haired, red-eyed girl chuckled softly across from him, saying nothing more.

After a while, Jin You sighed softly:

"Come to think of it, I've died once before, so maybe I'm a ghost now."

This wasn't a heartfelt remark, but rather something she blurted out involuntarily.

This attracted the attention of several red-haired, red-clad members of the Fire Lotus Gang who were nearby.

"What? A ghost?"

One of the heavily armored soldiers, a burly and robust man carrying a large shield, quietly took half a step to the side.

The lightly armed guard, covered in flying blades, magically produced a bright silver blade, his sharp gaze falling on Jin You as he silently wiped it with one hand.

The explosive talisman master, whose face was covered by a red cloth, peeked out curiously through a gap in the cloth and asked:

"You died once? And now you've been resurrected?"

"No...no, I just suffered a major disaster." Jin You tried to explain her earlier mutterings to herself, despite the various gazes she was being given.

"Why are you suddenly talking about the supernatural? It's best not to keep mentioning such evil things," the swordsman, covered in flying blades, reminded him.

"Isn't the Ghost Stone you're trying to steal related to ghosts?" the girl retorted.

"..." The other person turned his head and looked at the two-meter-tall female leader beside him: "Pomegranate, you didn't say before we came that today's mission was related to ghosts."

"The Ghost Stone itself does indeed possess a large amount of Yin energy, and it will produce a certain reaction when it resembles a truly eerie entity. However, it will not pull people into the eerie realm. It is impossible to verify whether it is a special kind of eerie entity. In short, this object is not dangerous under normal circumstances," said the red-haired woman with a ponytail tied over her shoulder.

"Our mission is merely to steal or forcibly take; we won't actually encounter anything supernatural... If that thing causes those around us to enter a strange illusion, the Living Kill Hall won't be able to bring it into the city."

"I hope so." The swordsman silently hung his silver blade at the front of his waist, ready for action.

"Is that a Yang Iron blade in your hand? It's a shame not to use it for a flying device." Jin You slowly came to his senses, noticed the material of the white blade in the other's hand, and clicked his tongue.

"It's just that the blade tip is inlaid with a layer of yang iron; the actual material is ordinary." The throwing knife master said succinctly, "But there are more of them."

"I never imagined your Fire Lotus Gang was so rich with all this equipment."

The surrounding group consisted of eight people, each equipped with high-level gear of the third or fourth tier.

In comparison, she herself only installed three second-tier spiritual bodies, and the Twelve Flying Instruments, a general-purpose item, was a time-limited rental item.

If we consider strength based on the total price of the equipment, her current combat power is not even a third of that of the throwing knife master in front of her.

"Before the operation, mortgage the house, clinic, and boat, and take out every loan you can get." The detonator held up two fingers.

After a moment's hesitation, he added, "However, we do have two rich kids here."

During the conversation, he glanced at the long-range longsword user beside him and another fully armored warrior wielding a large sword to the side.

"Why would a rich person do such a dangerous job?" Jin You asked.

“Because we are warriors.” The younger female commander loaded the weapon in her arms with ammunition and turned to look down at the airship.

At this point, the street controlled by the Living Killing Hall was clearly visible.

"We're almost there, prepare to land." The team leader snapped out of his meditation, opened his spiritual eye, adjusted the magnification, and looked towards the target from a high vantage point.

As you can see, the commercial street below, which should have been bustling with people, is now completely empty.

She calculated the time and said to the black array master who was wearing a multi-hole helmet and piloting the airship:

"It seems the Killing Hall was on guard in advance... Let's check if they received any warning messages."

The formation master nodded, landed the flying boat, and then suddenly said, "The Living Killing Hall did not receive any warning. They were responding to a surprise inspection by the Xiping Guard."

How many people are in Xiping Guard?

"Dragonflies have been deployed to the target. Images are being shared on the team channel." The Black Array Master finished speaking, then switched to a cold, mechanical voice to accompany the channel's image report of the front-end situation.

"The officials had stopped four boats on the street, with a total of thirty-two people according to the standard allocation. They were being received by the people from the Living Killing Hall."

Jin You also clicked on the Fire Lotus Gang channel she had just joined and saw several images from different angles.

Meanwhile, inside the main warehouse of the Living Kill Hall, several eavesdropping sounds could be heard:

"Minister, this is the thank-you note for this month. Please take a look."

"bring here."

The sound of several boxes being opened came, followed by a deep, muffled sound:

"Why are there so many?"

"The Minister has resolved so many troubles for the Living Killing Hall over the years, so the reward money should naturally be increased." The voice sounded honest and kind, not at all like the voice of someone from the Living Killing Hall.

"A gang that's so brutal to civilians turns into this when they encounter government officials?" Xi Heng, who was listening in, found it all rather boring.

She had just heard that the two forces were clashing and thought they were going to fight.

“It’s not just when you encounter government officials, it’s when you encounter a company or gang that you have to treat them like this.” Jin You replied, “Xiping Guard is also a company. Not to mention the Living Kill Hall in the outer city, even the Jiemai Temple, a gang in the inner city, has to treat it with respect.”

"Are these judicial institutions also under the jurisdiction of companies?"

"Ha, even the laws are made for the benefit of the company. If a law is found to be detrimental to the company's operations in the morning, it has to be changed in the afternoon." Jin You added a few more facts about Xiping City to the out-of-towner next to him.

"I see..." Xi Heng looked again at the golden giant tree in the distance.

A moment later, the Black Array Master's artificial dragonfly overheard another voice:

The members of the Living Kill Gang continued, "The envoy suddenly came here to investigate today. There's no need for such a thorough investigation. What if he finds something amiss? It would be bad for everyone... sigh."

"Everyone knows what kind of stuff you're selling. If you pay your taxes honestly, no one will bother you. This time, we're not checking for elixirs, but also for rotten meat and medicine."

"May I ask if the Minister could reveal any details?"

"None of your business. As long as your gang hasn't received any large boxes of smuggled goods from the outer city recently, it has nothing to do with you."

Then, a sound of smoke being exhaled came from inside.

After a few more words of conversation, officers in blue uniforms came out of the room and went into the warehouse to search.

Upon entering, the Black Array Master immediately found the information on the Xiping Guard's recent operation and began to speak:

"They're here to investigate the Ghost Stone."

The explosive talisman master sitting to the side frowned: "Should we lure the Xiping Guard away?"

"The Living Kill Hall must have taken some protective measures. Ghost Stone may have been moved before the officials arrived," the Fire Lotus Gang leader said. "Let's wait and see."

Jin You silently drew out his dual-bladed flying device and spun it into a sphere in his hand.

Fifteen minutes later, the officers, having found nothing, left in a group.

The hum of the Xiping Guard's boat gradually faded into the distance, leaving the members of the Living Kill Hall watching it go from several shop entrances.

After a while, the members of the Living Kill Hall retreated indoors and reopened the boxing gym, meat restaurant, bar club, nightclub, and other venues.

The fat man who looked like a steward, who had just been talking with the officials, let out a breath and spoke to the manager beside him in the deserted meat restaurant:

"The officials are probably here to investigate what the boss's been up to lately..."

"The boss's stuff?"

"Don't ask, knowing too much won't do you any good." The man wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and went upstairs: "Hurry up and get me some meat... Talking to the officials is such a pain in the ass."

"Alright, just a moment, Second Master," the manager said quickly before running off to the kitchen.

Hundreds of meters away, above the black and red flying boat, which was monitoring the entire meat restaurant, was a surveillance vessel.

Suddenly, a hand patted Jin You on the shoulder.

Looking up, I saw a two-meter-tall female leader in red approaching.

"It's time to get down to business, Miss Prajna. Can you take care of everyone in that restaurant except for the fat man remotely? It would be best to do it silently," Pomegranate instructed simply.

The gray-haired girl glanced at the surveillance screen again, and after a moment said, "It might be noticed by that so-called second-in-command—he has the Lu Tian Seventh Rank Fourth Spirit Eye, and his perception ability is very strong."

Shi Liu nodded, then asked the black array master on the other side:

"Grey Dream, can you handle this?"

"Okay." Array masters usually speak briefly.

"Don't worry about his perception, just go ahead and do it."

Jin You responded, and the flying device in his hand rose up, drawing a circle in the air before dispersing into twelve silver beams that flew straight into the meat restaurant.

A flash of silver light appeared in the sky, then vanished without a trace.

The streets below were empty and filled with miscellaneous soldiers, so no one noticed the approaching aircraft.

As Jin You took action, another swordsman covered in flying blades on the boat also quickly jumped off the flying boat and disappeared in a few moments, approaching the target.

The double-edged flying instrument pierced through the half-open window of the kitchen, directly piercing the head of a chef who was stir-frying some kind of meat over a high flame. It then turned and severed the cervical vertebrae of the assistant next to him. Finally, swiftly and silently, it pierced through the narrow gap in the window frame and pierced the skull of the shopkeeper who was carrying side dishes to be delivered upstairs.

The richly dressed shopkeeper stood there dazed for a moment, then fell to the side.

Immediately afterwards, several other flying objects arrived and caught its body, preventing it from making a loud crashing sound.

The plate in her hand was taken by Feiyi and placed steadily on the ground.

"There are two more." The Black Array Master adjusted the surveillance camera and helped Jin You mark the locations of the other two people.

With a flick of her finger, the flying device pierced the ground.

Piercing through wooden planks, cutting through hard stone ground, and passing through a meter-thick layer of soil, the silver light broke into the basement, piercing the tops of the heads of the two people in the underground detention room, and then exiting through their chins.

Two members of the Living Killing Hall fell to the ground with their heads tilted back. They had just noticed something amiss on the surveillance camera and died before they could send a message.

“It’s resolved.” On the airship several hundred meters away, Jin You calmly finished speaking.

"Understood," the swordsman, who had already approached the meat restaurant, replied in the team chat.

Before long, she controlled the flying device back to her waist.

During the process, I also washed myself to avoid getting any blood on my hands.

A moment later, the swordsman carried the unconscious second-in-command of the Living Kill Hall, who had appeared on the surveillance footage earlier, back to the airship and dumped him at the stern.

After the thud subsided, he clapped his hands and said:

"This guy is quite heavy; he's probably had a lot of modifications done inside him."

“A gluttonous stomach.” The black array master saw it: “This spirit body is said to greatly enhance digestive ability. As long as it can swallow, it can even gnaw on stones… a little gadget of the rich in the next city.”

"Should we try to squeeze some money out of him first?" another voice came from a distance.

"The mission is paramount." The tall female team leader looked at the physician in the group: "Give him an emetic."

"Okay." A gentle female voice approached, and she took out a thin black pill and flicked it directly into the mouth of the unconscious fat man.

He then took out a golden needle to seal the spirit body on the person's body, and then suddenly pierced it into the acupoint.

The second-in-command of the Living Kill Hall suddenly opened his eyes, trembling all over as he cried out in pain. He immediately became aware of the crowd surrounding him, especially the robes embroidered with red lotuses on their bodies, and a sense of despair instantly filled his eyes.

"Fire, fire lotus..."

"Now that you've recognized us, you should know our nature, right?" the leader asked directly. "Answer my question and I'll spare your life—where is Ghost Stone?"
