Immortal Venerable's Order
Chapter 383 - 377 Crippled (Part 2)

Chapter 383: Chapter 377 Crippled (Part 2)

Zhao Shuo trembled, burying his head even lower.

"Immortal Venerable, it’s... it’s from... from merchants from the Outer Domain, they heard it from them."

Yan Rufeng was furious and shouted, "Zhao Shuo, you call yourself an Immortal Monarch, yet you believe hearsay on your path!"

A chill ran down Zhao Shuo’s spine as he kowtowed frantically.

"Immortal Venerable, I deserve death. Please, Emperor Yan, punish me."

"Ha ha."

Immediately, Yan Rufeng said coldly, "You have indeed slandered me, and you deserve to die..."

Zhao Shuo’s heart skipped a beat, and he thought to himself, "This is bad; Emperor Yan laughed like this before he wiped out the previous City Lord’s family..."

Feeling as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, Zhao Shuo’s hair stood on end. In a hurry, he pleaded, "Immortal Venerable, I know my faults. Please, Emperor Yan, spare me."

"Ha!"

Yan Rufeng sneered and said, "Zhao Shuo, you think you can slander Yan Rufeng and be spared? Do you think that’s possible?"

"Boom~"

In an instant, a green light emitted from Yan Rufeng’s back.

"Zheng~"

With a sword chime, the Creation Divine Sword flew from Yan Rufeng’s back and hovered before him.

At this moment, Zhao Shuo seemed to have forgotten to resist, forgotten to escape.

Kneeling on the ground, Zhao Shuo desperately begged Yan Rufeng.

Yan Rufeng was unmoved as the sword before him moved.

Just when the Creation Divine Sword was about to touch Zhao Shuo’s chest, Zhao Ming called out, "Emperor Yan, spare him!"

The Creation Divine Sword shone with a green light, hovering in front of Zhao Shuo with its tip pointed at his chest.

Yan Rufeng said indifferently, "Zhao Ming, have you forgotten? Zhao Shuo just threatened to banish you to the Land of No Boundary, and now you’re pleading for him? What are you thinking?"

Bowingly, Zhao Ming said, "Emperor Yan, Zhao Shuo’s words did indeed slander you, an unforgivable crime. But the cause of this matter lies entirely with me. Please, Emperor Yan, considering he is my elder brother, spare him."

Yan Rufeng paused and said, "He can be spared from death, but not punishment. Strip him of all cultivation."

"What?"

Zhao Shuo, his face ashen, was shocked and said, "Without cultivation, it would be worse than death. I don’t want to lose my cultivation, I don’t..."

Zhao Shuo suddenly stood up and shouted.

"Yan Rufeng, don’t think just because you are Immortal Venerable, you can act recklessly. If you want to strip me of my cultivation, then I will fight you even if it costs me my life."

Yan Rufeng frowned, thinking, "The best time to strip Zhao Shuo of his cultivation has passed. Once Zhao Shuo realizes I’m not the same Yan Rufeng as before, he will definitely launch a fierce attack against me. I don’t know if the Creation Divine Sword can withstand the wrath of an Immortal Monarch..."

"Sigh..."

Yan Rufeng sighed deeply in his heart.

"This is really troublesome..."

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~"

In an instant, hundreds of streaks of light flew over the City Lord Mansion.

The light dissipated and a domineering voice was heard.

"Zhao Shuo, old villain, be respectful to Emperor Yan."

Zhao Shuo snorted as he looked in the direction of the voice.

"Li Mo, how is it you?"

Li Mo laughed and said, "What, City Lord Zhao, can’t I come here?"

"Hmph!"

Zhao Shuo said angrily, "Li Mo, this matter has nothing to do with your Li family. Get lost now."

"Ha ha..."

Li Mo laughed and said, "Zhao Shuo, you are still stubborn even at death’s door. Now I will subdue you."

As Li Mo’s words fell, the Li family crowd shouted in unison.

"Trapped Immortal Array!"

Hundreds of beams of light rushed toward Zhao Shuo at high speed.

Zhao Shuo tried to resist, quickly forming spells to cast Immortal Law, but in front of hundreds of Immortal Monarch Realm experts from the Li family, his efforts were futile.

Hundreds of beams of light descended, firmly trapping Zhao Shuo within the Trapped Immortal Array.

"Zhao Shuo, kid, didn’t expect you would have such a day, huh."

Zhao Shuo looked up and was suddenly stunned.

"Li Xing, you are not dead!"

"Ha ha!"

Li Xing laughed and said, "What, are you disappointed that I’m alive?"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

Zhao Shuo shouted angrily, "That year in the Kongtong Secret Realm, I clearly saw you were..."

"Heh heh."

Li Xing sneered and said, "Zhao Shuo, why don’t you continue? What am I supposed to be?"

Zhao Shuo stammered, "No, no, you are not Li Xing, it must be an impersonator."

"Ha ha..."

Li Xing said harshly, "Zhao Shuo, since you don’t want to say it, I will. Five hundred years ago in the Kongtong Secret Realm, we didn’t find the treasure. Instead, we encountered an evil dragon. After countless battles, when I was unconscious, you shot a cold arrow at my back and threw me into the dragon’s mouth. Fortunately, I survived. Unexpectedly, the dragon was a transformed Immortal who disapproved of your actions. To let me take revenge, he spared my life. You wouldn’t expect that, would you?"

"Ha ha..."

Zhao Shuo realized the matter had leaked and laughed, "Li Xing, even if you say so much, what does it matter? Can you kill me now?"

Li Xing smiled and said, "Zhao Shuo, I admit that the overall strength of the Li family is not as great as that of the Zhao family. But when it comes to a one-on-one duel, who in your Zhao family is my match?"

"Li family brat, stop boasting!"

Thousands of beams of light dispersed, and at the forefront stood an old man with white hair and the demeanor of an immortal.

"Heh!"

Li Xing sneered.

"I was wondering who it was with such a grand entrance; turns out it’s the previous Clan Leader, Zhao Han!"

"Hmph!"

Zhao Han snorted.

"Good that you know."

"Heh heh!"

Li Xing sneered and said, "Zhao Han, old fool, do you dare to fight me?"

Zhao Han flicked his sleeve dismissively and said, "A fight is it? I fear nothing."

Li Xing cupped his fists and said, "Then make your move."

Zhao Han did not move, smiling, "Li Xing, brat, what if you lose?"

Li Xing said coldly, "I, Li Xing, do not lose."

Zhao Han gave a faint smile.

"You are that confident?"

Li Xing drew his longsword, pointing it at Zhao Han.

"Indeed, I am that confident."

At this moment, Zhao Shuo, trapped in the Trapped Immortal Array, shouted loudly.

"Third Uncle, save me."

A beam from a sword vanished, and in the next moment, Zhao Shuo collapsed to the ground, motionless.

Zhao Han was greatly alarmed and flew over.

"Shuo’er, what’s wrong with you?"

Lying on the ground, Zhao Shuo struggled to lift his hand and pointed at Yan Rufeng, weakly saying, "It’s Yan Rufeng."

Afterwards, due to exhaustion, Zhao Shuo fainted.

Standing there, Zhao Han squinted his eyes and stared at Yan Rufeng, thinking, "Shuo’er, as an Immortal Monarch, had his cultivation destroyed by Yan Rufeng without a sound. The rumors were wrong; he didn’t fall in that great battle, nor is he a rebirth body of the Immortal Venerable. He’s truly hiding his cultivation..."

"You, Yan Rufeng, claim to be Immortal Venerable, but you lack the demeanor of one."

"Heh heh!"

Yan Rufeng smiled.

"Then tell me, what demeanor should an Immortal Venerable have?"

"Hmph!"

Zhao Han snorted.

"A highly respected Immortal Venerable, why do you shoot cold arrows and cripple my nephew’s cultivation?"
