Chapter 717: Chapter 75 Life and Death [Seeking Monthly Tickets!]_1

"You’re looking for me?"

Qi Lin’er arrived at the location of Yang Shenlong’s loft on Mirage Mountain, a sense of displeasure playing slightly between his brows. The resentment in the gaze of the man standing in front of him was intense.

Although he had participated in the Immortal Sect’s assembly six years ago alongside Yang Shenlong, he’d never been in good terms with the Yang Family brothers, and they hardly had any contact ever since.

Besides, he despised people like this with all his heart.

That included Chu Liang as well.

For some reason, whenever he saw a face as if a favored son of heaven’s, he yearned to tear it brutally into shreds.

"From now on, I’ll be taking care of you, Master Uncle Xuan Lu will no longer be responsible for teaching you," Yang Shenlong said indifferently, "You will stay here at Mirage Mountain, not to leave even half a step."

"Tsk." Qi Lin’er, who now looked like a teenager and was now no shorter than Yang Shenlong, wore the same defiant look as his younger self, disregarding Yang Shenlong’s words.

"What are you? Do you also want to restrict my freedom?" He sneered, glancing over at Daoist Xuan Lu who was standing aside.

Daoist Xuan Lu showed no emotion, nor any indication in response.

With a sudden movement, Qi Lin’er broke into a sprint. A shadow streaked across as he threw a ruthless punch towards Yang Shenlong.

He wasn’t ignorant of the news that Yang Shenlong had already established his place on Mirage Mountain. But what about that? Regardless of who the cultivator was, combat was the only way to gauge if one could win or not.

Boom!

An explosive echo.

Regrettably, it didn’t land on Yang Shenlong. Instead, it hit Qi Lin’er’s own back.

Just as his sneaky and strong fist was about to land squarely on Yang Shenlong’s face, an ethereal barrier sprung up in front of Yang Shenlong. When Qi Lin’er’s punch hit the barrier, it didn’t get blocked—it simply vanished.

And that vanished portion extended out from Qi Lin’er’s own back.

The power behind any random blow he threw was lethal. Thus, hitting himself with that much force definitely wasn’t a pleasant experience. Qi Lin’er trembled all over, fresh blood welling up in his throat.

His injury only served to ignite Qi Lin’er’s fierce nature. He swallowed down the fresh blood, then swiveled his body, brutally sweeping his back leg like a sharp blade.

Yang Shenlong stretched one finger out, and instantly a light flashed.

Bang!

As Qi Lin’er’s sweeping leg descended, it ended up slamming into the distant mountain wall, causing a thunderous echo and shaking the entire mountain.

Meanwhile, Yang Shenlong’s figure appeared behind him. He grabbed the nape of Qi Lin’er’s neck, bang—

Qi Lin’er was pressed against the mountain wall by him, instantly losing the ability to resist. He gritted his teeth and threatened, "Just wait till I get a chance, I’ll kill you."

"You’d better be after that chance every second. Stop provoking the people from Shu Mountain," Yang Shenlong’s gaze was indifferent. He was not concerned in the slightest about Qi Lin’er’s murderous intent, "I don’t want you to die out there all of a sudden."

"Heh," Qi Lin’er sneered maliciously, "Dare they to kill me?"

"Chu Liang has already returned. He is not the kind of person you can easily provoke," said Yang Shenlong, "Don’t think that you can hide your activities. If you stay here at Mirage Mountain, people can still protect you. But if you leave this place..."

Even though killing a Penglai disciple would risk causing a war with Penglai, Yang Shenlong was knowledgeable about Chu Liang’s methods. If Chu Liang wanted to keep his actions under wraps, he had countless ways to do so.

"You’re just a coward. Losing to him once has already scared the guts out of you," Qi Lin’er, his neck held down by Yang Shenlong and unable to resist, continued to taunt him.

Before he had even finished speaking, a thunderous noise came from the distant sky, followed by a loud shout.

"Qi Lin’er—"

They both turned their heads, only to see a garish, flamboyantly colored flying boat hovering above Mirage Mountain. A man with a fierce demeanor stood atop the flying boat.

It was Chu Liang.

In his hand was a fluttering flag, imposing and majestic, with a large character for "battle" embroidered on it.

"Come out and meet your death!"

...

Besides Yang Yuhu, the members of the Penglai Upper Sect felt the news was quite sudden. Yet outside the Penglai Upper Sect, the news was already making waves.

Upon learning that Qi Lin’er was the perpetrator, Chu Liang pondered for a moment.

Ever since he learned about Penglai’s collusion with Taotie City, he had prepared himself to face some losses. Penglai was, after all, a powerful force, and without any Divine Artifacts, Shu Mountain would find it difficult to resist if things escalated.

But the fact that the enemy killed directly upon taking action had truly crossed the line, making this matter unredeemable.

If they wanted to punish Qi Lin’er, there were naturally two methods - overt and covert.

If they opted for a covert operation, they would need to plan meticulously and it absolutely couldn’t be traced back to Penglai Upper Sect. Qi Lin’er, however, had strong cultivation and killing him as easily as a chicken, would be almost impossible. Furthermore, Penglai possessed the Divine Artifact Eastern Sea Time Wheel, making it even more difficult to enact covert operations.

If covert action was not feasible, then they might as well proceed openly.

Chu Liang immediately posted such a message in the Immortal Friends Circle.

Qi Lin’er, of the Penglai Upper Sect, has heinously harmed the innocent personnel of Shu Mountain’s Red Cotton Peak and looted treasures. This is indeed shocking news. However, Shu Mountain believes that this is only Qi Lin’er’s personal action and is unrelated to the Penglai Upper Sect. If there are private grudges, they should be resolved privately. Chu Liang will ascend Mirage Mountain and challenge Qi Lin’er to a death match to settle this old grudge.

As soon as the news broke out, it caused an uproar in the Immortal Friends Circle. At the moment, nearly a thousand cultivators from all Immortal Sects are in the Immortal Friends Circle, making it very lively. When Chu Liang said this, everyone in the Immortal Friends Circle rushed over to watch.

In addition to the personnel from the Red Cotton Peak, a vast force had gathered behind the Liang Longhao, from various sects and schools, causing great shock to the disciples of the Penglai Upper Sect, who thought they were about to be attacked.

Yang Yuhu was originally out on business, and when he heard the uproar in the Immortal Friends Circle, he thought it was just a major event in some Immortal Sect. When he checked, it turned out to involve his own sect.

He hurriedly rushed back just in time to see Chu Liang’s flying boat hovering here.

Yang Yuhu hurried forward and said, "Chu Liang! What are you trying to do? Think twice!"

At this moment, Chu Liang had just descended and upon seeing Yang Yuhu, he didn’t forget to politely bow, "Brother Yang, I have explained the reasons earlier, I believe you saw it, didn’t you?"

"If Qi Lin’er really committed a mistake, I will definitely report it to my Upper Sect for strict punishment." Yang Yuhu turned around and looked at the sea of people behind him, "Are you trying to start a war between our Sects?"

"Brother Yang, you are taking it too seriously. These friends who rushed over have nothing to do with Shu Mountain. They are just here to watch the fun." Chu Liang shook his head and then flicked his right hand, inserting a war banner right in front of the Sect entrance of Mirage Mountain.

Bang——

This act made the hearts of the many cultivators who came to watch throb. Although they came to witness this very spectacle, they were shocked when it was really happening.

This is the Penglai Upper Sect, the current leader of the Righteous Path, known for its domineering actions. It’s always been the one to provoke others, but when has someone dared to provoke them?

Yet today, Chu Liang planted a war flag right in front of their sect openly?!!

By the time Chu Liang landed, Qi Lin’er, who was released, had also stepped forward, and his eyes were full of excitement when he looked at Chu Liang.

"I didn’t expect you to come directly to the door..." Qi Lin’er was incredibly agitated, and his eyes were filled with a bloodthirsty glow, "I really underestimated you."

"I know you’ve always harbored resentment, but I usually didn’t want to bother with you. After all, you have Penglai backing you, and you’re arrogant, but you have people covering for you. Even if I suffer some losses, I don’t care," Chu Liang put away his smile, looking at Qi Lin’er, "But you should never have killed someone directly. If you’re not punished, there will no longer be justice or the Righteous Path in this world!"

His words were loud and clear, letting everyone in all directions hear them clearly. Now, even the disciples of the Penglai Upper Sect, who initially didn’t know what was happening, understood the matter.

"Qi Lin’er, you’ve crossed the line!"

After Chu Liang finished speaking word by word, he directly threw out a scroll which landed in Qi Lin’er’s hands.

Qi Lin’er held it in his hand, opened it and saw it was a life-or-death challenge. The content was nothing more than a private agreement for a fight to the death between the two. Regardless of who lives or dies in the ring, both parties’ sects should not take this as an excuse to start a conflict. At the bottom of the challenge, Chu Liang had already signed his name.

"Ha ha..." He laughed even more wildly, "So what you mean is, once I sign this, if I kill you I don’t need to be responsible, right?"

"At least that’s the case for me," Chu Liang remained expressionless.

Shh——

Qi Lin’er suddenly bit his finger, and aggressively signed his name at the bottom of the life-and-death challenge, leaving a deep red mark.

"Then let the fight begin!"
