Chapter 88: Chapter 88 Immortal and the River Lake Scammer

Daji, Roaring Sky Dog, Jia Xun, Qin Yun, and a host of guards and attendants all turned their gaze to Evening Star. This fellow was dressed in all white, even his hair was white, making him extremely conspicuous. The moment he opened his mouth, he instantly became the center of attention.

"Let me introduce him, he is an overseas immortal, Evening Star. Everyone should show some respect!" Qin Jun took the initiative to introduce Evening Star.

Immortal!

This term sent a shiver through everyone’s spine, but what shocked them the most was that Evening Star came from overseas. No one present had ever traveled overseas. The vastness of the Southern Domain was beyond imagination, and the Qianyue Kingdom was just a small corner of this continent. Even those in the Transforming Void Realm rarely had the ability to traverse the Southern Domain.

Of course, most powerhouses wouldn’t bother to travel far and wide, instead focusing on their own interests, fighting, or shutting themselves away to practice their cultivation.

"Hmph? Is he really an immortal?" Fa Hai asked coldly, his skepticism matched by the expressions of others around him. They couldn’t sense any spiritual energy emanating from Evening Star.

And Qin Jun had just gone for a bath and encountered an immortal—who would believe that?

Immortals were only legends.

"The title of immortal is just a courtesy, Your Highness flatters me too much," Evening Star modestly said.

"Humph, I don’t care whether you’re an immortal or a con artist from the streets, humans and demons have different paths, and you must not interfere with my demon extermination," Fa Hai said angrily, causing Daji and Roaring Sky Dog to glare at him furiously.

Qin Jun couldn’t help but smile. Fa Hai was practically the embodiment of Qin Yu—completely awe-inspiring in his ability to court death.

Unfortunately for Fa Hai, he wasn’t Xu Xian and wouldn’t stand by and watch Daji be suppressed.

Evening Star glanced at Qin Jun and instantly knew what he was thinking. He then said with a laugh, "How about this, monk? You seem confident in your discerning eyes, convinced that they will harm His Highness, and even taunt me as a street con artist. This shows great self-trust on your part. Why don’t we make a bet?"

That statement alone infuriated Fa Hai, yet it also generated goodwill towards Evening Star from Daji, Roaring Sky Dog, and Cangjun Wolf.

Verbal sparring is indeed powerful. It seems I have much to learn from him in the future.

The more Qin Jun watched Evening Star, the more pleasing he found him.

No longer able to endure Evening Star’s challenge, Fa Hai coldly asked, "What bet?"

"You think I’m a street swindler, so I must have a low level of cultivation. Let’s have a contest. If I win, you will no longer object to them staying by His Highness’s side, and you mustn’t leave in a fit of anger," Evening Star said with a smile, his confidence leaving no room for Fa Hai to back out.

Qin Jun himself couldn’t help but give his approval.

"And if you lose?"

Fa Hai asked irritably, carefully observing Evening Star. Indeed, he detected no spiritual energy fluctuations. Moreover, with everyone watching, how could he, a Transforming Void Realm expert, tolerate such provocation?

"I’ll offer my head in apology!" Evening Star said calmly, causing the others to gasp in astonishment. Could he truly be an immortal?

Fa Hai, seeing the expression on everyone’s faces, felt even more contemptuous, convinced that Evening Star was bluffing to intimidate him.

"Come on then!"

Fa Hai gestured with his hand, too lazy to even draw out his Dharma Sound Golden Bowl. As he spoke, he stared intently at Evening Star, hoping to see a look of panic on his face.

Unfortunately for him, he had miscalculated. The consequences of a veteran driver crashing were more fearsome than those of a female driver—because the veteran drives too fast!

The two men stood facing each other on an open field, with Daji and Roaring Sky Dog also curious about whether Evening Star was genuine or fake.

"Black Dog, what’s your take?" Daji asked, focusing on Evening Star.

Roaring Sky Dog shook its head and said, "If I were to show my true form, perhaps I could see through him, but right now, it’s inscrutable. Of course, it’s also possible that this old fellow is simply a mortal."

If it were to use its true form, it would be an Earth Immortal Realm super being.

While Daji was curious about the true strength of Roaring Sky Dog, she did not inquire because she sensed that Roaring Sky Dog seemed to believe Evening Star would win.

If that was the case, how formidable must he be for even her, in the Transforming Void Realm, to fail to discern? The thought sent a chill down her spine, and she subconsciously looked towards Qin Jun—could he actually have summoned a real immortal?

Qin Jun didn’t notice Daji’s gaze; he was too excitedly watching the showdown between Evening Star and Fa Hai. His expression showed complete trust in Evening Star, which did not escape Daji’s notice.

"I won’t take advantage of you. You make the first move!" Fa Hai said, bringing his hands together in prayer and even chanting "Amitabha," resembling a truly enlightened monk.

Evening Star immediately swung his Evil Expelling Dust Brush, and instantly, a fierce wind surged towards Fa Hai, whose face instantly turned pale.

With a loud bang!

Fa Hai felt an unbelievably terrifying force slam into him, the ground beneath his feet blowing away with him. The speed was so incredible that in the blink of an eye, he smashed into a mountain a kilometer away, breaking straight through it and continuing to fly back hundreds of meters before finally hitting the ground. The powerful inertia made him slide along the earth, upturning soil and creating a thirty-meter-long ravine before he finally came to a halt.

Silence!

Including Qin Jun, Daji, and Roaring Sky Dog, everyone stared agape at the distant mountain. From their perspective, they could clearly see the huge hole smashed through by Evening Star, demonstrating the staggering strength of his swing.

The shock of an Immortal Realm expert obliterating a Transforming Void Realm adversary in an instant left them unable to regain their senses for quite some time.

After a while, Evening Star finally turned around and said with a smile, "I was already quite gentle with my strike. Unfortunately for him... sigh!"

Such flawless swagger!

Qin Jun almost wanted to kneel and offer his knees in admiration. He quickly approached Evening Star, excitedly held his hands, and said with a trembling voice, "Great immortal, I didn’t praise you in vain!"

No amount of words could express his boundless admiration.

He had speculated about the fight between Evening Star and Fa Hai, and while he had guessed a swift victory, he had not anticipated it to be this staggeringly decisive!

It was a hundred times more shocking than Guan Yu slaying Xiao Beilong in an instant!

With a thud!

Finally, one of the guards involuntarily kneeled down, his face filled with shock, mouth wide open enough to fit an egg. Then, the rest of the guards followed suit, including Jia Xun and Qin Yun.

"An immortal, indeed!"

"Truly an immortal, with such mighty power!"

"Damn, I’ve actually seen an immortal!"

"His Highness King Yue truly is blessed by the heavens, to have the support of an immortal!"

Apart from Roaring Sky Dog, Daji, and Cangjun Wolf, everyone was prostrating themselves, some even moved to tears by their excitement.

In this world, mortals believed in deities, and so did cultivators. The very pursuit of cultivation was to become immortal and achieve everlasting life!

From their exchange, they knew that the Transforming Void Realm was far more powerful than the Ascending Mortal Realm, but to see the usually unfathomable Fa Hai be cast aside by Evening Star as if he were mere chaff—the difference in their power was as plain as day to even a fool.

Even if they were told Evening Star was not an immortal, they wouldn’t believe it!

"Your Highness, you honor me too much. I should go check on that monk now. Let’s hope he isn’t dead," Evening Star said with a bow, and then flew off towards the distance like a streak of white light, disappearing from everyone’s view in the blink of an eye.
