Chapter 439: 439

Wan Baqian continued, “Seeing as you come unwilling to take a life, how about I buy it off you . As far as money goes, I have more than enough . “

The deserter said, “Once I kill you, all your possessions are mine . “

Wan Baqian laughed, his smile showed he didn’t mind it at all, “Those words just made you sell me two lives . First, is your current one, and the second, your following life . “

The deserter felt a thick and heavy killing intent, one that even took form as a red mist and covered his body . An icy voice came from behind, and knew it was the quack, “Fifth junior brother, is everything alright?”

Wan Baqian smiled, “Yes, fourth senior sister, we’re just doing business . “

He heard her cold tone, “If there’s anything, just ask . “

Wan Baqian nodded, “Thank you, fourth senior sister . “

The deserter’s back was soaked . The tubby was quack’s junior brother! Damit! No money is worth this hit .

This was no longer troublesome, but a death threat .

Wan Baqian said, “I’ll give you ten times as much to buy your client . “

The deserter said, “The power behind me will hunt me down!”

“A hundred times for the head of that power . “

He gasped, “Not enough . He’s strong, and has many under him . “

“A thousand then . “

Endless dread seized his heart, Just how rich is this guy?

His bottom line was left in the dust a long time ago . The wealth the guy had awed him, being a junior brother to the quack filled him with fear .

“I accept this mission . “

The night passed and the first rays of the sun shined over the lands . Wan Baqian was in his courtyard when the door opened and saw a group of black-garbed Earth Immortals filled the street . The same deserter from last night walked in with two heads, “Here’re the ones you wanted . “

Wan Baqian put on a fake smile, “I’m sure you know this isn’t all I want . “

He kneeled, “Lord, please accept this deserter general’s allegiance!”

The others kneeled also . Wan Baqian turned to all of them, Master once said, wealth can reach the heavens . If it doesn’t, it proves you’re not rich enough .

As always, Master is right .

Chen Ling’er stretched and looked across the street to Wan Baqian, “Business is booming so early!”

Wan Baqian smiled, “Just a casual deal . “

He waved, “Rise and enter all of you . “

Wan Baqian handed the reward, a thousand Heaven Spirit Veins . Such a deal was but a common occurrence on Sacred Mountain .

Wan Baqian said, “You must know by now what needn’t be said, no?”

The deserter cupped his hands, “I understand!”

“The same for my connection with fourth senior sister . “

“There’s nothing between Lord and quack!”

“Good!”

If head senior sister’s guess is right, the best is to not let others know of us . With fourth senior sister’s power and us standing in the heart of the conflict once the secret is out, the end won’t be pleasant .

They will all know of us in time, when Master undergoes his tribulation .

Yan Mountain .

Li Suyi and Ling Xian were taking a beating per usual . They weren’t masochists by far, just that under head senior sister’s tyranny, their magical arts’ training sped up .

On this day, Li Suyi arrived much earlier and was waiting for Ling Xian to ascend together . He never came .

“How is second senior brother not here yet? His willpower isn’t that weak . “

Li Suyi went to Ling Xian’s home . With how many immortal pills they got from Chen Lingyu, there should be some around, yet there was no sign of any and even the immortal items were gone .

Li Suyi found something amiss . He recalled something Ling Xian said to him in a drunken stupor the night before, “Head senior sister is amazing and we get stronger the more we fight, yet head senior sister will never show kill intent . This isn’t a true fight . “

“Without a true fight, I will never cross the last step . “

Li Suyi was aware he was but half-step away from grasping the third stage of Conquering Immortals Art, the Flay Immortals stage .

He’d been stuck in this place for days on end .

Li Suyi joked, “That’s easier said than done . You cultivate Dao Canon as well as Conquering Immortals Art . They are all for killing immortals . If you’re found out, the world’s entire immortal civilizations will hunt you down . The Conquering Immortals Art is taboo in the Galaxy . “

Ling Xian said, “Of course I’m aware . I’m not suicidal . I am but a Transcending realm cultivator . Master once said you mustn’t do stupid things . To know it is stupid yet still do it, makes you a fool . “

Li Suyi looked at the situation around him and cursed, “That fool!”

Li Suyi hasted his flight to Zhuo Qingyao and bowed, “Head senior sister, I won’t be coming for a while . “

Zhuo Qingyao noticed Ling Xian’s absence, “Since this stage is called Flay Immortals, then he must kill one to reach it . “

“Go, and bring him back alive . “

Li Suyi cupped his hands, “Yes, head senior sister . I will return with second senior brother!”

Li Suyi looked at the Sacred Mountain in the sky . Of all the places that had Earth Immortals, this mountain was packed .

Ling Xian stood at the entrance to Sacred Mountain, talking to himself, “Sigh, I am Master’s second disciple, younger than head senior sister by only six months . Yet even fifth junior brother reached Earth Immortal while I’m stuck in the Transcending realm . I am an embarrassment to Master!”

“Flay Immortals, in the end, means killing immortals . “

“Yes, I know this is stupid, I know this is the dumbest choice . Only a true fool can cultivate it . If not a moron, who else was there to cultivate it?”

“Master always said, the weakest must go to competitions . . . Uh, that’s me . This oughtn’t to go against Master . “

Perhaps moronic, but dying from it would make him a retard .

Perhaps he did this according to Dao, dedicated to his Dao Heart . Coming out alive was a trial for his Dao!
