Chapter 133: Blocking the Way, How Reckless!

It was getting dark.

Azure Ville was darker than anywhere else in the night. Aside from the torches that lit up the tower, only the cultivators brought some light as they flashed around mid-air.

That mountain was darker than the night.

Looking down from above, the opening looked like an endless black hole. It was like a beast opening its mouth and trying to swallow something whole.

Thankfully, securing it was a chain of flames, surrounding it like it was trying to lock the night away. It brought some light to the endless darkness.

A small red flag levitated in the center of the flames. It glimmered and it looked like fire dragons were surrounding it. The flames poured out from it like endless waves.

Fume—

As the five elders gradually used up all their powers, the five fire pillars faded away slowly, too. They sighed in relief at the same time.

The elder at the center smiled and saluted the four elders. “The spell is complete. The rest of it is up to you four to stand guard. Apologies for the trouble.”

The four elders smiled and said, “No trouble at all, Lord.”

They sat down again and waited for the fire lid to completely cover the opening. The Demon Lockdown Ceremony was completed.

The Lord of Azure Ville nodded and vanished in a flash.

Everyone watching from the high tower smiled.

Qin Manyun was astounded. She exclaimed, “What an awesome spell. It’s been so many years but it’s still as powerful as always.”

She thought it would take Azure Ville their all to close the opening. Who knew they would leave once the spell was just halfway complete.

The Holy Emperor commented, “The Lord of Azure Ville is a man of many talents. Rumor had it that after he immortalized, he contacted his later generations to tweak the lockdown spell. He created a new version of the spell with something from the Immortal Land. Isn’t he amazing?”

“So, he used a spell from the Immortal Land!”

Qin Manyun realized and nodded her head. She sighed, “It’s a pity that for thousands of years, no cultivator has immortalized into Heaven. We’ve even lost contact with the Above Immortal Realm.”

She sighed because someone from the Linxian Palace had once immortalized. She did not know how they were doing in the new realm. The Linxian Palace would improve if they could contact them like how they used to.

The Linxian Palace was getting worse by day.

The Holy Emperor also nodded. He said, “The bridge between mortal and immortality is gone. I can feel the Immortal Realm getting worse. I can’t imagine what the future will be like for cultivators.”

They were grateful that at least they knew the expert. It might even be better than getting the chance to immortalize!

Everyone was astounded by what Azure Ville did.

In an unsuspecting corner of the woods, a few dark figures swooped in, wearing menacing gazes.

…

The next day.

Li Nianfan woke up early. He walked to the balcony and looked towards Azure Ville with curiosity.

“Oh? So the seal is complete?”

The sun was shining on Azure Ville. The four elders sat there, levitating. The fire lid was still the same except it had descended halfway to the ground. The guy in the middle left.

There was a small red flag at the center of the fire lid, with flames pouring out of it like a fire fountain.

Li Nianfan smiled. “No wonder so many people attended this ceremony. It isn’t dangerous at all. It’s basically a free cultivator show.

“Daji, let’s go. We should check out the place since we’re here.”

The Azure Ville Demon Lockdown Grand Ceremony was coming to an end. He knew they would not be here for long.

“Okay. Coming, Mr. Li.”

Daji gracefully stepped out of the room. She had light makeup on her perfect face. It accentuated her beauty. She looked young and beautiful in her elegant chiffon dress—she looked like a Goddess.

Li Nianfan looked at Daji and felt like he gave her the right name. This was a woman that could destroy nations with her beauty. No wonder all the legendary emperors would give up their nations for a beautiful woman. Daji alone was worth giving up the entire universe.

Daji noticed Li Nianfan was admiring her. She was secretly happy. She said softly, “Mr. Li, are we going?”

Li Nianfan snapped out of it. He touched his nose and said, “Yeah, out. Let’s go.”

The two of them walked out of the Immortal Guest House and ran into Qin Manyun and the others.

Li Nianfan was slightly taken aback. He smiled and said, “Eh, what a coincidence. Are you all out shopping, too?”

Luo Shiyu smiled and replied, “Yeah, we just came out. Didn’t expect to run into you here, Mr. Li.”

“What do you want to shop for, Mr. Li?” asked Qin Manyun. She paid attention and waited for a hint from Li Nianfan.

Li Nianfan replied, “Nothing specific. I’ll look around and see if there’s anything worth buying.”

Qin Manyun nodded, “Alright, have fun then, Mr. Li. Just tell us whenever you’d like to go back.”

“Okay.”

Li Nianfan brought Daji along to shop around.

There were a lot of quirky trinkets in the Immortal Realm. It was interesting. Someone was even selling demons—demons with human lower halves and animal upper halves. Li Nianfan did not understand why anyone would buy them. Could demons be cooked?

A rich guy jolted amongst the crowd. He was wearing a long brown robe with a golden belt on his waist. He stared at something like his eyes were going to pop out.

“What a beautiful lady! I can’t believe someone this beautiful exists!” He stared at her without blinking, smiling adoringly. “Even if she’s an ordinary woman, she’s still way prettier than the Saintesses!”

“What a worthy trip!” He licked his lips and walked towards Daji. He glanced at Li Nianfan standing next to her. It was like glancing at an insect. He despised him. “That ordinary man is no match for a beautiful woman like her. Is he trying to die?”

Some people in the crowd started moving around when he walked towards Daji. They quickly surrounded them, putting Li Nianfan and Daji at the center.

The rich guy smirked and looked at Daji. “Hey, lady, how about we become friends?”

“Rude!”

Qin Manyun and the others were scared. Their entire bodies went cold and they almost stopped breathing.

They rushed over.

They would never leave Li Nianfan to shop alone, so they were tailing him secretly. They wanted to help him solve any minor issues he might face. They wanted Li Nianfan to have a joyful ordinary-man-experience.

However, they did not expect that someone with a deathwish would recklessly get in their way. It was too late to stop him.
