In the end of the world, I become an immortal alone

#500 - The Demon Appears

Wang Ji Xuan dashed out of the base, his figure transforming into a bolt of lightning, heading straight for the dueling ground.

He put on his hidden earpiece, and牡丹's reports kept ringing in his ears.

"The energy fluctuations of the Disenchantment Valley Loose Immortal are rapidly disappearing; he's finished; a strange energy fluctuation is leaving, heading northwest… it's hidden itself!"

"Where were the others when they were dueling just now?"

"They were all in the distance from the dueling location, their energy fluctuations were all there! Only the energy fluctuation emitted by Qu Man disappeared for a few seconds; she must have entered some kind of formation."

Is there really a seventh immortal?

Moreover, to kill a Disenchantment Valley Loose Immortal in such a short time, the opponent's strength should be below a True Immortal and above a Loose Immortal.

An ordinary immortal?

Wang Ji Xuan's mind was full of doubts, but he didn't dare to go too fast, observing the sky and waiting for the others to appear before moving forward.

The Disenchantment Valley's mountain gate was located beneath a snow mountain, and there were also hundreds of young boys and girls here, all newly accepted disciples of this Loose Immortal.

Wang Ji Xuan's spiritual sense was blocked by the mountain-protecting formation, preventing him from seeing the full picture inside. When he arrived nearby and joined up with Mao Mo and the others, he glanced at the mountain-protecting formation and couldn't help but frown.

Hundreds of children were all dead.

And they were all in a miserable state after their souls had been sucked dry.

The entire Disenchantment Valley mountain gate was devoid of life.

"What!" Mao Mo's eyes were wide with rage, and he cursed, "Damn it! Who did this! Hiding in the dark, attacking from behind!"

The other immortals remained silent.

Qu Man gripped her spear and directly blasted open the formation, heading straight down.

This mountain-protecting formation was only hastily built, without investing too many spirit stones and precious materials, so it couldn't stop others from attacking.

The second deceased, the Disenchantment Valley Loose Immortal, died in his cultivation room.

This place had a thick barrier, and the barrier had been destroyed to a great extent. A soul-piercing claw pierced through the Loose Immortal's Dao body, hanging him from the roof beam, his nascent soul already gone, as if someone had directly swallowed it in one gulp.

Wang Ji Xuan, with a straight face and furrowed brows, took out a soul-capturing pearl and waved it around nearby.

Just like when Bai Ling'er died, there were no remaining souls left behind.

The murderer had cleared away all traces here in an extremely short amount of time.

The four Loose Immortals gathered together could no longer remain calm at this moment.

If Bai Ling'er's death could still be attributed to personal grudges and grievances against Bai Ling'er, then with such a short interval, a second dead immortal had directly appeared…

"Who was the first to arrive here!"

Mao Mo was like a fat lion, glaring and roaring.

Qu Man and Liu Kang looked at the lame old Taoist, who shook his head and directly released his own nascent soul.

Just like last time, his nascent soul was very calm, without any traces of fighting, nor any intense fluctuations.

Qu Man, Liu Kang, and Mao Mo silently released their own nascent souls.

There were no traces of fighting.

Wang Ji Xuan released his own nascent soul, spreading his hands: "You can't possibly suspect that I have the strength to kill a Loose Immortal in a short amount of time, right?"

"Next, we must stay together!"

Mao Mo said quickly:

"No one should be too close to anyone, and no one can be too far from anyone!

"Who is it!

"If you know something, tell us now!"

Liu Kang said in a deep voice: "Report to the Immortal Realm, we must report to the Immortal Realm now!"

"Okay!"

Mao Mo took out a jade talisman, his fingers quickly drawing a series of imprints, and the jade talisman trembled slightly.

Suddenly.

A blood-colored divine lightning appeared in the sky, the jade talisman in Mao Mo's hand shattered with a 'pa' sound, and Mao Mo's round face turned pale.

"Sky Sealing Formation!"

A huge black and red disc appeared in the sky, with dense inscriptions appearing within the disc.

In the next instant, the land within a thousand miles was completely enveloped by this disc.

Without saying a word, Wang Ji Xuan turned around and ran, his figure transforming into a beam of rainbow light, breaking through the air at extreme speed, but he discovered that the formation had already closed halfway through his flight.

The formations from the Immortal Realm are activated faster than the formations in the cultivation world.

The other streaks of light flying in various directions were each blocked.

The five people here turned around abruptly, their eyes filled with suspicion.

"Who is it!"

Qu Man gripped her spear tightly, constantly shouting:

"Do you want to be smashed to pieces! Destroying the great task of spreading the Dao! No matter how big the Immortal Realm is, it won't tolerate you!"

She turned around and fiercely attacked the formation wall.

But this great formation was truly powerful, all of Qu Man's attacks were swallowed by the formation wall, only gusts of yin wind appeared everywhere.

Wang Ji Xuan tried to unleash a palm strike.

A powerful force of counter-shock directly sent him flying.

Mao Mo and the others each took action, but the great formation remained motionless, and could even devour the mana they unleashed.

They were trapped.

This prison had a thousand-mile diameter.

The lame old Taoist shouted: "It's useless! Don't waste your mana!"

Liu Kang gripped two long swords, a divine lamp floated around him, and he frowned as he looked at Wang Ji Xuan: "He's the only outsider here!"

Wang Ji Xuan was also quite speechless.

Although he did have a billion more secrets than others, and he did have the means and ability to commit such a crime, being suspected for no reason as a Mahayana Realm cultivator, this Loose Immortal was really too inferior.

However, the lame old Taoist said a fair word: "What can a Mahayana cultivator do?"

"Hmph!"

Qu Man's gaze stared intently at the lame old Taoist:

"You're the only one here who has cultivated demonic techniques!"

Mao Mo shouted anxiously: "Now is not the time for internal strife! There is obviously an evil demon hiding in the dark!"

"This evil demon wants to feed on us!"

"This is unreasonable," Wang Ji Xuan said quickly, "Bai Ling'er didn't fight, she was devoured of her cultivation and nascent soul during dual cultivation, which means Bai Ling'er must have known the other party."

Qu Man suddenly said: "Then what if, this evil demon is disguised as someone? Like disguised as you?"

牡丹's reminder came from Wang Ji Xuan's earpiece:

"Chief, Bai Ling'er died in the location of your bedroom, the bedroom didn't have hidden cameras, but I took some blurry images of the edges, I just finished analyzing them, the other party is wearing a black Taoist robe, very thin, even thinner than you, the skin behind the ears is also very white."

Black Taoist robe? Very thin?

牡丹 also said: "It is possible that it is a Loose Immortal who has not yet shown his face, or a Yuan Immortal from the Immortal Realm (the realm of an immortal who has just ascended)."

Wang Ji Xuan's mind raced.

He suddenly turned his head to look at Qu Man, then shook his head slightly.

Because Wang Ji Xuan suddenly remembered a sentence that Bai Ling'er once said—she had pure Yin Joyful Union techniques, meaning that women could also do it.

Liu Kang asked: "What do we do now? We are trapped by the great formation."

"Don't worry, this formation can only last for a few hours."

The lame old Taoist frowned and observed the surroundings:

"We can't panic, let's gather in one place for now, with our feet on the ground."

"Let's set up a defensive formation inside!" Mao Mo took out a formation plate from his sleeve, "Everyone go to the snow mountain over there!"

The people looked to each other, each maintaining a high degree of vigilance, quickly heading to the snow mountain location.

Mao Mo was also ruthless.

He directly took out a few pieces of spiritual vein marrow and stuffed them into the formation plate, took out hundreds of formation bases, and erected a golden defensive formation on the snow mountain.

This great formation was only a hundred zhang in diameter.

The five people remained vigilant after entering, and did not directly approach.

Mao Mo sat down with a thud, constantly panting, and took out two jade talismans to continue fiddling with.

The other three Loose Immortals also took out similar jade talismans.

But similarly, they were unable to send messages to the outside world.

"We can only wait for the formation to dissipate," Mao Mo said in a low voice.

Wang Ji Xuan's eyes flickered slightly.

His hidden earpiece could still communicate directly with 牡丹, and the intelligence that 牡丹 could provide was not too much.

Now he only knew that the evil demon was very thin, the skin behind his ears was very white, and his strength was above the six immortals.

He suddenly asked: "Old brother, when Bai Ling'er died, were you really drinking in Wangdu?"

Mao Mo glared and cursed: "You suspect me? Old brother, you've gone too far! Not to mention Bai Ling'er's matter, just now when that guy was killed, I was instructing a few outer sect disciples, telling them to patrol the mountain gate properly!"

Wang Ji Xuan said: "Those few disciples can also give false testimony."

The lame old Taoist said slowly: "Indeed, the suspicion on Daoist Mao Mo's body cannot be cleared for the time being."

The newest novel can be found at Six 9 Book Bar!

"The diameter of this formation is only a hundred zhang, and it was set up by Daoist Mao Mo."

Qu Man, holding a long spear, slowly moved her feet, her eyes filled with vigilance.

Mao Mo immediately had difficulty expressing himself.

He sighed: "I swear to heaven, I swear to our Heavenly Evil Sect's patriarch… Hey! What are you doing!"

Mao Mo glared and pointed at Qu Man.

Qu Man's figure flashed, suddenly pouncing towards Liu Kang.

And the only person who reacted in time here… was Wang Ji Xuan!

A hundred zhang distance was not too far for a Loose Immortal, Qu Man's spear erupted with astonishing black light, her figure almost instantly overlapping with Liu Kang, Liu Kang's attention had previously been attracted by Mao Mo, and now he had no time to turn around, instinctively erupting with mana.

The long spear bloomed!

That beam of black light directly sent Liu Kang flying, blood spurting wildly from Liu Kang's back!

Wang Ji Xuan's figure had already pounced over, throwing out a precious pagoda, wanting to pull Liu Kang out of Qu Man's attack.

At this moment!

Black Qi suddenly flew from the side, that black Qi instantly condensed into a black hole, a strange black shadow窜came out of the black hole, directly撞ing towards Wang Ji Xuan.

Wang Ji Xuan's spiritual sense could only capture that this was a gourd thrown out by the lame old man.

Qu Man and the lame old man were in cahoots?

He had previously only suspected that Qu Man was colluding with outsiders, but he never thought that the lame old man was also involved.

The precious pagoda thrown out by Wang Ji Xuan barely covered Liu Kang, but his figure was directly 撞ed away by the black shadow.

Venerable Wang's mind raced. Although his injuries weren't severe at the moment, he coughed up a mouthful of blood in the air. His body slammed against the light barrier and slid down, and he immediately began to feign unconsciousness.

The long spear smashed heavily onto the pagoda, causing Liu Kang inside to cough up blood once more.

Mao Mo had already reacted. He lunged forward and snatched Liu Kang away, then flung out dozens of golden Buddhist beads. The beads exploded with cracking sounds, scattering golden mist everywhere.

Several figures darted back and forth in the mist.

Wang Ji's divine sense scanned the surroundings, finding no one else nearby, which relieved him slightly.

Two loose immortal combatants were one thing, but three were another matter entirely.

Because he could handle two loose immortals, but three would be tricky.

Mao Mo cursed loudly, and Liu Kang also regained his senses and began to fight back, but the two of them were clearly no match for Qu Man and the lame old Daoist, and were suppressed to the point where they couldn't lift their heads.

A poor student has a lot of stationery;

Mao Mo had quite a few life-saving magical treasures.

This old brother took out a golden罩子, directly covering himself and Liu Kang. As the golden light flickered, the attacks from outside were blocked, and for a moment, they couldn't take down Mao Mo and Liu Kang.

The battle paused briefly.

Wang Ji's divine sense looked over and saw Qu Man standing proudly with her spear, her heroic spirit pressing, her face stern.

The lame old Daoist held a wooden sword in his hand, a thick mockery in his eyes, staring at Mao Mo's face, which was so angry it was almost twisted.

"You!"

Mao Mo gritted his teeth and cursed, "Why! You! We've known each other for three thousand years!"

"Heh," the lame old Daoist flicked the wooden sword lightly and said indifferently, "How could a piece of trash like you, with no ambition and only knowing how to waste your life, be worthy of associating with me?"

"Qu Man, are you confused!"

Liu Kang roared:

"If you ruin the great Daoist teaching of the Immortal Realm, you will be hunted down by the Immortal Palace! Even if you escape into the endless sea of stars, you will inevitably die!"

The lame old Daoist narrowed his eyes slightly and snapped his fingers triumphantly.

Qu Man's stern expression instantly changed, becoming incomparably charming, her eyes filled with seductive silkiness, causing the long spear to float on its own as she entwined her lithe body around the lame old Daoist's Daoist form.

The lame old Daoist said calmly, "For today, I have prepared for a full eight hundred and sixty-two years. Man'er was originally cultivated by me. She willingly abandoned her chance to become an immortal, all for the sake of assisting me in accomplishing this great task!"

Mao Mo frowned and asked, "What bewitching spell did you cast on her?"

"I was originally Man'er's teacher, teaching her to play the zither. We are in love with each other, so why would I need to use any bewitching spell?"

The lame old Daoist's figure and face slowly changed.

His originally somewhat slovenly figure thinned down a bit, and his face also reverted to a middle-aged appearance. A faint black aura surrounded him, and his face was as sharp as if it had been carved with a knife, indescribably heroic.

Qu Man's eyes were filled with infatuation.

Wang Ji was also shocked by this.

This guy had been hiding so deeply, and he had been scheming so meticulously, even cultivating Qu Man, the 'celestial granddaughter' of the Myriad Bones Cave, to be his helper.

It all added up now.

The true face of this lame old Daoist matched the person who had killed Bai Ling'er.

Moreover, the lame old Daoist's aura was slowly rising, and his strength was indeed above the other five loose immortals.

He was almost at the peak of the loose immortal stage, possessing about 1.8 times the power of the Yin Lin Hall Master.

The lame old Daoist patted Qu Man's waist, and Qu Man reluctantly flew to the side, instantly reverting to her stern and valiant appearance, holding her long spear, her killing intent hidden.

Mao Mo's face was ashen.

The golden罩子 around him had already begun to teeter.

The heavily injured Liu Kang roared, "Did you kill Ling'er?"

"That's right."

The lame old Daoist said slowly:

"Liu Kang, you are truly disgusting as a man, actually being so attentive to a frivolous woman, allowing her to use you like a dog."

"To carry out this plan, I naturally had to eliminate you or Bai Ling'er first."

"I never expected that Bai Ling'er would give me the opportunity, going to Mao Mo's place and refusing to leave, so it would be easy to throw you into disarray."

Mao Mo cursed, "Even if you devour our cultivations, what can you do?"

"What can I do?"

The lame old Daoist said calmly:

"What I need now is just firewood, firewood that can ignite the pill furnace. Your cultivations are that firewood."

"After devouring the two of your cultivations, I will be able to activate the Heaven and Earth Furnace Formation, refining the three hundred million mortal souls of this realm."

"In this way, I can recast my Dao foundation and renew my immortal fate!"

"Back then, I was unable to pass the heavenly tribulation due to my injuries, and could only become this neither-here-nor-there loose immortal. I became a laughing stock within the clan, and in the Immortal Realm, I was like dust. Who would look at a loose immortal? Who would! Who would!"

"My lifespan only has three thousand years left. If I don't gamble now, when can I gamble! Do you know how much effort and painstaking effort I spent in order to obtain this Daoist teaching opportunity with Man'er!"

His face was constantly trembling.

The golden light around Mao Mo and Liu Kang shattered with a bang, and the power of that treasure had lost its effect.

Qu Man and the lame old Daoist were about to attack…

"Hey! Wait a minute!"

A sudden shout rang out from the side, and Qu Man, the lame old Daoist, Mao Mo, and Liu Kang subconsciously turned their heads to look over.
