Chapter 1454: Chapter 1413: I Killed Him

“Fame and fortune, gold and treasures, I’m not interested in any of that. If you think you can bribe me with such means, you’ve underestimated me.”

“Then what do you want? Just speak up.”

What does Lu Chuan want?

Of course, he wants the Heavenly Pendant!

But even thinking with his toes, he knows that Kong Zhaozhao is impossible to hand over the Heavenly Pendant to him—or rather, she might not even know what the Heavenly Pendant is.

“Forget it, I haven’t decided yet. I’ll let you know when I have.”

Lu Chuan waved his hand, ready to leave. Seeing this, Kong Zhaozhao hurriedly said, “Please come to Little Frost Peak every night at this time to help me suppress the Frost Poison.”

“Got it.”

Lu Chuan didn’t turn his head, just waved his hand, leaving a dashing silhouette.

Seeing this scene, a peculiar glint flashed in Kong Zhaozhao’s eyes.

After a long moment of daze, Kong Zhaozhao pinched a spell in her hand, and a figure immediately emerged from the shadows.

“Shadow, go investigate his identity, but be careful not to let him notice.”

“Yes, Miss!”

…

“Sigh, the goal has been achieved, this woman’s identity is clearly not simple, but why do I feel somewhat uneasy?”

Trusting a man she just met, even asking him to suppress her cold poison, perhaps it’s because Kong Zhaozhao might not live long if she can’t suppress the cold poison any longer, but she’s too trusting of others.

As Lu Chuan’s thoughts churned, he suddenly sensed a tail quietly following him, only then did he relax.

Right, no matter how incompetent, it’s proper to send some people to track and probe my background.

Seeing that it was indeed late, and with a tail following him, Lu Chuan thought for a moment and decided to wait until he returned home.

His identity as Qin Tao still cannot be revealed, so the journey back naturally took longer. By the time Lu Chuan returned near the mountain gate, dawn was approaching, just in time for the changing of disciples guarding the gate, allowing Lu Chuan to blend in easily.

This whole way, Lu Chuan hadn’t spoken a word to anyone, directly returning to the Outer Sect, seeing this, the man known as Shadow furrowed his brows.

“He’s just an Outer Sect Menial Worker?”

Just a simple Outer Sect Menial Worker could quietly slip into the Penglai Immortal Sect, even reaching the Miss’s location at Little Frost Peak, it’s strange no matter how you think about it.

It’s known that among the Outer Sect Menial Workers, most are secular world people trying to enter the Penglai Immortal Sect to ascend, and a small portion are Immortal Domain people with no strong background or enough resources to support their entry into the Immortal Sect, so they muddle along here.

But this Qin Tao doesn’t look like that kind of person.

The strength he displayed is undoubtedly Golden Core Realm, a Golden Core Realm staying in the Outer Sect as a Menial Worker, it’s strange no matter how you think about it.

As Shadow’s thoughts churned, he caught a glimpse of a Taoist clutching a whip, swearing at whoever he met, yet no one dared to refute him.

Shadow recognized this person, the Steward of the Outer Sect.

“Damn it, I’m in a foul mood this morning! Qin Tao, come out here!”

Chen Nong stood at Lu Chuan’s door, cursing loudly, kicking the wooden door which then shattered instantly. Chen Nong swung his whip and rushed in.

The room was too dark, the figures of the two were blocked tightly by onlookers, Shadow’s brows furrowed, intending to switch to a different place to observe. Unexpectedly, a figure flew out from the room like a kite with a broken string, crashing into the roots of a centuries-old tree before finally stopping.

“Chen Nong! You’ve repeatedly bullied me, do you really think I’m just a pushover?” Qin Tao yelled, emerging from the room, the bloodied whip mark on his shoulder was vividly visible.

“I’ve long qualified to become an Immortal Sect disciple since I broke through the Golden Core Realm three months ago. Why haven’t you reported this?”

“Crazy! You’ve all gone mad, how dare you retaliate! Qin Tao, you’re courting death!”

“You’re the one courting death! You’re constantly pushing your limits, I’ve endured time and again, only to be forced into more oppression by you. Chen Nong, do you really think I’m afraid of you?”

Lu Chuan… or rather the ‘Qin Tao’ he was pretending to be said as he stepped out of the house, a blood-soaked whip mark clearly visible on his shoulder.

“You’ve constantly blocked my path to ascend to the Immortal Sect, severing my future, I’m telling you, I’ve had enough!”

“You, what are you planning to do? Qin Tao, you’re crazy! If you kill me, do you know the consequences?”

“Consequences? The worst is still better than staying in the Outer Sect as a Menial Worker for life. It’s just a matter of death!”

With that, ‘Qin Tao’ snorted, Spiritual Power surged within him, transforming into a remnant shadow, appearing in front of Chen Nong, gripping his throat tightly and saying word by word, “At worst, I’ll just accompany you after killing you!”

Bang!

A muffled sound echoed, scorching flames burst from ‘Qin Tao’s fingertips, instantly igniting Chen Nong!

Flames spread across Chen Nong’s body, heart-wrenching wails erupted. Chen Nong kept rolling, trying to extinguish the flames on his body, but how could he extinguish this Divine Fire of the Sun?

Besides, Chen Nong was already dead, he was just a puppet controlled by Lu Chuan.

Soon, the flames gradually extinguished, Chen Nong became a piece of charred debris, quickly losing life.

Seeing this, the crowd instantly burst into commotion.

Chen Nong was dead!

The beast who rode over them finally died, utterly satisfying!

But soon, some began to fear ‘Qin Tao’, after all, if even the mighty Chen Nong died by his hand, who could stop him if he became the next Chen Nong?

The crowd gradually quieted down, everyone staring at Qin Tao, eager to know what he would do next, unexpectedly, Qin Tao didn’t choose to flee, but turned towards the mountain gate.

“He’s… he’s going to challenge the mountain gate? If he passes the trial, he’ll be an Immortal Sect disciple!”

“Finally! After all, he’s Golden Core Realm, being oppressed by that beast Chen Nong is hardly manly! Absolutely satisfying!”

“Don’t celebrate too early, Chen Nong is dead, the Immortal Sect will definitely send someone new to manage the Outer Sect, how can you be sure the newcomer will be better than Chen Nong?”

“Let’s follow and see!”

Hearing the mixed discussions, the Shadow in the crowd gradually relaxed his furrowed brows.

Now it makes sense why Qin Tao is clearly Golden Core Realm, yet hasn’t entered the Immortal Sect, probably due to Chen Nong.

Lu Chuan led a group of Outer Sect Menial Workers to the mountain gate. Before he could approach, he was sternly stopped, “Stay back! Move a step closer and suffer the consequences! Who are you, approaching the mountain gate for what purpose!”

“Outer Sect Menial Worker Qin Tao, seeks to become an Immortal Sect disciple.”

“We didn’t hear Chen Nong say someone would challenge the trial today, leave quickly for leniency!”

“Chen Nong wouldn’t say that because he’s already dead, killed by me.”
