Chapter 1903: Chapter 1923: No Matter How Many Killers, Can They Match the Immortal Palace? _1

There was indifference and scorn in the eyes of Purple Cloud Immortal Lord, "He didn’t know that from a very early time, I have been wary of them. I had also been thinking about how to escape from Greencloud Valley and get out of their control...."

"I pretended to be affected, then when that old guy stuck his hands into my clothes, I secretly attacked him using a magical treasure that I had prepared long before, the Ghost Blood Divine Needle. The Ghost Blood Divine Needle contained strong poison that had the ability to suppress his strength and inhibit his primordial spirit from escaping."

"My sneak attack was successful, and I promptly took action to kill him. Afterwards, I took all the antidotes on his body, took his token, and immediately left Greencloud Valley."

Lin Chen asked with confusion, "Is it not required to take poison only when you’re carrying out a mission? Since you were inside Greencloud Valley, you shouldn’t have been poisoned, should you?"

Purple Cloud Immortal Lord shook his head: "The way Greencloud Valley controls its trained assassins is two-pronged. They had implanted a Gu insect in our bodies from a young age. Every ten years, we have to take an antidote once to suppress the Gu insect. This is their normal method of control."

"During an out-of-valley mission, another type of medicine would be taken. This medicine will cause the Gu insect to awaken quickly. We must take medicine to suppress the Gu insect within a year. Otherwise, the Gu insect will wake up."

"At the time when I killed my Master, I wasn’t assigned any task outside the valley, hence the Gu insect in my body awakens every ten years. I took all the antidotes he had on him and escaped from Greencloud Valley....."

Lin Chen immediately showed a worried look: "How many antidotes did you take and how much is left? Will this Gu continue to exist?"

Purple Cloud Immortal Lord naturally understood the meaning of Lin Chen’s question. He was worried that she would run out of antidotes while the Gu insect was still within her body. If so, wouldn’t her life be in danger?

"I took over thirty antidotes. Now, there are only two left, which means that I have about twenty years left. This is why I was desperate to find the Nine-Turns Da Luo Pill recipe."

"As long as I successfully advance to the Da Luo stage, and gain control of the power of the Rule, I’ll return to Greencloud Valley and completely eradicate the Gu insect in my body."

Concerned, Lin Chen asked: "You’re an immortal lord now, isn’t that enough?"

With a bitter smile, Purple Cloud Immortal Lord said: "The Gu insect in my body is very special, the Illusion Demon Gu. Greencloud Valley controls the mother insect of the Illusion Demon Gu, and she can manipulate all other offspring. Greencloud Valley has numerous experts, even including Immortal Monarchs. With my current strength, I don’t dare to return."

"If I return to Greencloud Valley, they’ll use the mother insect of the Illusion Demon Gu to take control of me. I’ll fall into endless illusions and won’t have any ability to fight. They’ll easily capture me then."

"Even if I become a Da Luo, I must tread carefully when I return to Greencloud Valley. I can’t let them use the mother insect against me. Otherwise, even if I am a Da Luo, I fear that I would once again fall under their control, becoming their slave and living a life worse than death."

Frowning, Lin Chen said: "Twenty years, huh? That’s quite some time. We might be able to manage."

Purple Cloud Immortal Lord nodded in agreement: "Now I only lack two types of medicinal herbs. Once I find those two herbs and refine them into pills, I can try to break through the realm. Twenty years should be sufficient."

Lin Chen looked up and said: "I meant that twenty years might be enough time for me to reach the peak stage of Celestial Immortality, or even advance to Da Luo. By that time, I can help you flatten Greencloud Valley. It would just be a lamb entering the tiger’s den if you go back when they have control over you."

Purple Cloud Immortal Lord stared at Lin Chen in surprise: "You?"

Lin Chen said with a laugh: "What? Looking down on me?"

Purple Cloud Immortal Lord shook her head: "Not really. I know your promotion speed is fast, but I still feel that twenty years to advance from the early Golden Immortal stage to Da Luo is a far stretch!"

Lin Chen said with a laugh: "Not necessarily. As long as I reach the peak stage of Celestial Immortality, I may already have the power to level Greencloud Valley. Besides, even if I can’t do it myself, I can borrow others. The Immortal Palace is filled with powerhouses. Levelling an assassin organization is completely plausible."

"No matter how powerful Greencloud Valley is, and no matter how many assassins it controls, can it compete with the Immortal Palace? It can easily turn them into ashes!"

Purple Cloud Immortal Lord smiled: "Alright, I had forgotten that you’re about to become the Domain Lord’s son-in-law. Borrowing a few powerhouses shouldn’t be a problem!"

Lin Chen said with a laugh: "So, don’t worry about this. There might be some difficulties, but it’s not a big deal."

Watching Lin Chen, Purple Cloud Immortal Lord smiled: "Originally, I thought I had only a young man by my side, but I didn’t expect this young man to be so powerful. My judgment was good and I was lucky."

Lin Chen said with a smile: "Of course. Those guys who bully my woman have to die. They’ll be flattened when I go back. With Xi Jie’s help, it’s not a big problem to kill a few celestial immortals."

Purple Cloud Immortal Lord asked curiously: "What kind of background does your Xi Jie have to be so powerful?"

Shaking his head, Lin Chen said: "I’m not sure about that either. I asked her, but she didn’t say anything, so I didn’t ask again."

Purple Cloud Immortal Lord looked hopeful: "Will she stay with you in the future?"

Lin Chen nodded, extending his hand to tap his forehead: "We’ve already signed an equal contract. She’s now in my Sea of Knowledge!"
