Chapter 323: Chapter 232: Kumarajiva’s Killing Move!

"Hahaha!"

The Undying Immortal Kumarajiva looked at Li Ping’an with a faint smile:

"What’s the hurry, lad? I suggest you stay out of this matter; I don’t want to damage your physical body!"

"Damage my physical body?"

Li Ping’an tilted his head, puzzled:

"Kumarajiva, what do you mean?"

"What do I mean?"

The Undying Immortal Kumarajiva pointed at the reanimated second-most talented under heaven, Pei Yuanjing, and laughed:

"This is the path that awaits you!"

"To become my puppet!"

"Hmph!"

Convinced of his security with the Book of the Earth and the Great Sage Life-Protecting Talisman in his possession, Li Ping’an was utterly fearless:

"I don’t believe you! You don’t think I’m as weak as Wang Tianran, do you?"

"Wang Tianran is weak?"

The Undying Immortal Kumarajiva shook his head and gave a resigned smile:

"He hasn’t died. Alright, I won’t fight you. If you want to fight, battle my disciple, the Puppet Xie Wenren!"

Once commanded, Puppet Xie Wenren looked at Li Ping’an with a sneer:

"Li Ping’an, you’re not even qualified to challenge my master. How about the two of us go at it?"

"You?"

Li Ping’an, having overheard the Undying Immortal Kumarajiva mention that Wang Tianran was actually not dead, lost interest in entangling with the Undying Immortal Kumarajiva.

Faced with the provocation from Puppet Xie Wenren, he silently stepped back, pretending the matter had nothing to do with him.

...

"So the second most talented under heaven, Pei Yuanjing, has already become a puppet of the Undying Immortal Kumarajiva!"

"This Undying Immortal Kumarajiva wants to turn Li Ping’an into that as well!"

"Will he turn us into the same?"

"First, he’ll kill us, then he’ll turn us into his puppets!"

"Maybe we should just forget it..."

"Yeah, with our low cultivation..."

When the cultivators present began to discuss this amongst themselves, the Undying Immortal Kumarajiva heard it and immediately spoke out in mockery:

"You’re overthinking it! You lot are not even fit to become my puppets. Dream on!"

"That’s a relief for us then!"

Although his words were mocking, the cultivators sighed in relief as if pardoned, and even started laughing, reassured.

But their laughter did not last long, as another statement from the Undying Immortal Kumarajiva made them feel as if there was a thorn in their side, a fishbone in their throat:

"However, anyone who obstructs me today will be killed!"

"..."

The cultivators shuddered at this and then turned to seek opinions from the heads of the Four Great Noble Paths: Sect Master Zhuge Junchen of the Flame Cloud Sect, Head of Immeasurable Sect, Taishu Yiqing, Head of Heavenly Mist Sect, Mo Liqi, Senior Brother of Qingyun Sect, Taishi Bao, and Head of Yanyue Sect, Xianyu Zixuan, Hehuan Sect’s Sect Leader Shangguan Hongzhang, Kunlun’s Three Sages He Zudao, and Sixth Senior Brother Dan Chenzi of Mount Shu.

Head of the Four Great Noble Flame Cloud Sect, Zhuge Junchen, Head of Immeasurable Sect, Taishu Yiqing, Head of Heavenly Mist Sect, Mo Liqi, Senior Brother of Qingyun Sect, Taishi Bao, and Head of Yanyue Sect, Xianyu Zixuan, Hehuan Sect’s Sect Leader Shangguan Hongzhang, Kunlun’s Three Sages He Zudao, Sixth Senior Brother Dan Chenzi of Mount Shu, and other prominent figures from the Taoist sects exchanged glances before stepping forward in unison, glaring at the Undying Immortal Kumarajiva:

"Kumarajiva! The Taoist sects have long wished to rid ourselves of you once and for all! We only heard rumors that you died outside the Sword Qi Great Wall!"

"To think that you’ve actually survived and have the audacity to stand before us!"

"It’s better that you have shown up here; it saves us the trouble of looking for you!"

"There’s no doubt about it, today you must die!"

Other cultivators joined in one after another:

"Yes, yes, yes! Kill this old Devil Lord!"

"Today we absolutely cannot let this old Devil Lord escape!"

"Kumarajiva! Aren’t you known as the Undying Immortal? Let’s see if you can’t die today!"

"Kumarajiva! As you can see, we have strength in numbers, it’s not too late for you to surrender now!"

The Night Traveler, Muqiang Baoshan, also led a group of Night Travelers in threatening the Undying Immortal Kumarajiva:

"Kumarajiva! You are a top fugitive wanted by The Night Traveler’s Bureau! Today, you will not escape from Chang’an City!"

"Hahaha!"

The Undying Immortal Kumarajiva looked at everyone before him and mocked:

"You bunch of losers? You dare to speak such bold words in my presence?"

"Forget you, even your ancestors would have to act respectfully when they see me. To think that after a few centuries, you useless descendants have become even bolder than your ancestors!"

"That’s enough! You’re too weak to be worthy of fighting me!"

The Undying Immortal Kumarajiva paused for a moment, put on a compassionate expression, and asked indifferently:

"I’ll give you one last chance! I’m here to capture Li Ping’an, and you must not interfere! Otherwise, I, Kumarajiva, will today annihilate all Taoist sects of the Southern Continent!"

"How arrogant!"

Head of the Four Great Noble Flame Cloud Sect, Zhuge Junchen, Head of Immeasurable Sect, Taishu Yiqing, Head of Heavenly Mist Sect, Mo Liqi, Senior Brother of Qingyun Sect, Taishi Bao, and Head of Yanyue Sect, Xianyu Zixuan, Hehuan Sect’s Sect Leader Shangguan Hongzhang, Kunlun’s Three Sages He Zudao, Sixth Senior Brother Dan Chenzi of Mount Shu, all spoke with united animosity:

"Kumarajiva! For both personal and public reasons, we must kill you today!"

"Right!"

The Night Traveler, Mu Qiang, threatened:

"Undying Immortal Kumarajiva! I am aware of your prowess!"

"But don’t forget! This is Chang’an City!"

"I don’t believe you can leave Chang’an City alive!"

"Remember, Chang’an City is full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers! Not to mention the presence of the Supreme Tathagata Dragon Tree Monk, let’s talk about the many high-ranking individuals in Confucianism!"

"If you dare obliterate the Taoist sects, disturbing them, let’s see if you die here today!"

"Well said!"

Surprisingly, the Undying Immortal Kumarajiva agreed with what the Night Traveler Mu Qiang had said and, lastly, looked at the Night Traveler with a smile and nodded:

"Thank you for your reminder, you do make some sense; these people indeed pose some complications."

"You’re afraid?"

The Night Traveler, Mu Qiang, confidently replied:

"It’s good that you’re afraid!"
