Chapter 1248: 1252 Assassination

A tranquil courtyard with blue tiles, housing a three-story Green Pavilion and a Green Stone Pavilion.

A burly man in a blue shirt and a voluptuous woman in a silver dress sat in the Green Stone Pavilion, engaged in conversation.

The courtyard gate opened, and a medium-built man in a green shirt walked in, casually closing the gate behind him.

"Master, he left his residence and may be leaving the marketplace."

The man in the green shirt said.

"Keep watching him. His vigilance is high, and if not for your Taiyi Golden Immortal Stage cultivation and ability to lock onto a being’s Divine Soul fluctuation, you might have lost him."

The burly man in the blue shirt said solemnly.

"Oddly enough, if he’s worried about being ambushed, he could use the Transference Array in the Tianbao Pagoda to leave. Why would he leave the marketplace openly and then return with a changed appearance?"

The woman in the silver dress wondered.

"I reckon he’s waiting for some resources he pre-ordered. He’s only in the Taiyi Golden Immortal Early Stage; we’re in the Middle Stage, with the help of Spirit Beasts. Capturing him shouldn’t be a problem. If he were really strong, he wouldn’t be so cautious."

The burly man in the blue shirt analyzed.

The woman in the silver dress nodded: "True, the guy frequents the Immortal Medicine Shop and probably has a lot of wealth."

"Master, he’s on the move, seems to be going in circles."

The man in the green shirt said.

"Let him roam. Within a million miles, you can sense his Divine Soul fluctuation. Unless his Divine Soul experiences a dramatic change or he can hide his own Divine Soul fluctuation, he can’t escape your tracking."

The burly man in the blue shirt said confidently.

"Go monitor near the Wancho Pavilion. He may have reserved some Immortal Elixirs there. Inform us immediately if you catch any trace of him."

The woman in the silver dress instructed.

The man in the green shirt agreed and headed out.

A teahouse, in a private room.

A tall young man in a red shirt sat beside a green tea table, tasting tea.

He was Shen Long, who had disguised himself. Having refined the Five Elements Suppressing Immortal Beads, he was ready to leave the marketplace.

After an hour, Shen Long left the teahouse and arrived at the entrance of the Wancho Pavilion, striding inside.

He emerged half an hour later, glancing around before heading towards the marketplace exit.

After exiting the marketplace, Shen Long turned into a Red Escape Light, soaring into the sky, soon vanishing into the horizon.

A short time later, the burly man in the blue shirt and the woman in the silver dress quickly exited the marketplace.

The burly man summoned a Blue Flying Boat, stepping onto it with the woman following closely.

He formed a spell, and the blue flying boat emitted a blue light, rising skyward, disappearing into the horizon.

A month later, over a vast azure sea.

A Red Escape Light darted across the sky, stopping above a desolate island, revealing Shen Long as the light coalesced.

He slowly landed on the ground, standing on the beach, his expression calm.

After a while, a Blue Escape Light appeared on the distant horizon, stopping abruptly as it revealed a Blue Flying Boat shimmering with blue light.

A burly man in a blue shirt and a voluptuous woman in a silver dress stood on the Blue Flying Boat, faces calm.

"Have the two of you been following me for so long? What business do you have?"

Shen Long asked calmly.

Both were in the Taiyi Golden Immortal Middle Stage, not considered a threat by Shen Long.

"We feel like we have seen you before. Might we ask your name and your sect affiliation?"

The burly man in the blue shirt asked courteously.

"If you intend to kill and rob, just do it. You really think I don’t see through your intentions?"

Shen Long’s voice was icy.

"Send him on his way."

The burly man’s expression turned cold, his right hand emitting blue light as he slapped the void.

A tsunami roared, the sea boiling as a colossal sky-reaching wave surged towards Shen Long.

The woman in the silver dress opened her mouth, releasing a silver flame that turned into a giant Silver Fire Phoenix, its heat tearing the void asunder.

The Silver Fire Phoenix flapped its wings gently, disappearing into a silver blaze.

The burly man’s wrist shook as a green light flew, transforming into a medium-built man in a green shirt.

The burly man and woman exuded a golden glow, while the man in the green shirt let out an eerie bestial roar, a Divine Soul Attack.

Shen Long’s body shimmered with golden light, unaffected by the Divine Soul Attack.

He unleashed a fist radiant with golden light.

The void shattered as a Golden Giant Fist flashed out, meeting the colossal wave.

The wave and fist collided, the fist disintegrating, and the wave bursting into blue water, which congealed into blue spears darting at Shen Long.

Shen Long conjured a Golden Shield in front of him.

The dense blue spears struck the Golden Shield, producing a dull sound, covering its surface with fine cracks.

"Middle Grade Immortal Artifact?"

The burly man frowned. Despite frequenting the Immortal Medicine Shop, why was he using a Middle Grade Immortal Artifact?

The man’s right hand shone with green light as he slapped the void.

The void above Shen Long fluctuated as a giant green beast claw materialized, descending towards him. At the same time, a silver flame flared behind him, revealing a Silver Phoenix, the temperature soaring.

A golden bead around Shen Long’s chest shone, forming a thick golden light shield, enveloping his body.

The Silver Phoenix crashed into the golden light shield, its silver flames dimming the light.

"Third Rank Immortal Flame!"

Shen Long exclaimed with both surprise and joy.

The green beast claw struck the golden shield, the final straw crushing it.

The claw hit Shen Long, burying him in the ground, as the silver flames consumed him into ash rapidly.

The burly man and woman frowned. Could he be so weak?

Behind them, a golden light shone, revealing Shen Long’s presence.

Golden Cicada’s Shedding!

A Divine Skill from the sixteenth layer of the Beast Immortal Scripture, allowing the practitioner to create a fake body with identical aura and Divine Soul fluctuation.

"No good, he is in our...

Before the burly man could finish, a golden ring flashed from Shen Long, swiftly passing through their bodies, the Time Law.

The burly man and his companions froze as if immobilized.

Red light flared from Shen Long’s forehead, with three slender red lines shooting forth, striking the golden ring and shattering it like a bubble, a Divine Soul Attack.

Since ascending to the Taiyi Golden Immortal Phase, Shen Long’s Divine Soul had materialized, making his attacks stronger.

Without mastering the Divine Soul Law or possessing something to fend off Divine Soul attacks, they stood no chance.

The three red lines, formed by Shen Long’s Divine Soul, penetrated the burly man and his companions, their faces contorted in pain.

"So it was greed for my wealth, not knowing your limits."

Shen Long sneered, his Divine Soul materialized to attack their Sea of Souls, not only able to destroy it but also perform a Soul Search.

Both had cultivated the Taiyi Yuan Soul Method, but only up to its sixth layer, lacking any defense against Divine Soul attacks, making them easy prey for Shen Long.

With a cold snort, Shen Long destroyed the Sea of Souls of the blue-shirted man’s group, their Divine Souls obliterated.

Shen Long collected their belongings and stowed away their bodies.

The Silver Phoenix attempted to flee when a golden glow descended from the sky, enveloping the Phoenix, pulling it into the Ten Directions Bottle.

Shen Long put away the Ten Directions Bottle and departed from the place.
