Chapter 279: Desperate Helpless Liuyun Lord Immortal

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

At the Above Immortal Realm.

Gu Yuan and Payne were at a sandy wasteland.

The area was vacant and it was surrounded by steep mountains. It was not tall but it looked majestic.

Gu Yuan and Payne were standing in front of a square platform. There were tall pillars at the sides of the platform. It looked cool and powerful.

It looked antique. They could almost see its previous glory.

However, it was covered in dust. The platform and the pillars were covered in a layer of dust. One of the pillars was broken.

Payne frowned. He asked in a worried voice, “Why is Old Man Changqing not here yet?”

Gu Yuan looked at the platform and replied, “Is he dead from Space Turbulence? It can’t be. My grandson isn’t that weak. Unless he’s unlucky?”

Then, the abandoned platform shimmered. The shimmers formed into a door on the platform.

It was like a Delivery Array. A figure slowly came out from the door.

The figure had a messy appearance. His white hair was untidy and there were a lot of scratches on his body, too. The figure simply adjusted his appearance and sighed in relief.

It was Gu Changqing.

Gu Yuan asked, “Changqing, why so slow?”

“The Space Turbulence is too strong. There’s chaos everywhere. I have no idea which direction I’m heading. Thankfully, you two gave me tips. Otherwise, I would’ve been lost in there,” said Gu Changqing in a grateful tone.

Then, he observed the platform. He asked in an unsure voice, “This is the reception place?”

Gu Yuan nodded. “Right.”

“It’s so ugly?” Gu Changqing could not help but frown. He was hugely disappointed. He said, “Isn’t there a saying that there’d be rewards when you immortalize? Where is the Feixian Pond?”

Payne pointed at a hole in front of him. “There. There’s a hole, right? Should I fill it with water for you? Want to jump in and see how it feels?”

“That’s it?”

Gu Changqing was baffled. “How did it end up like this?”

“The bridge to immortality was broken. No one immortalized anymore so this place was abandoned.”

Payne reminisced, “I remember when I immortalized. This place was crowded. You had to line up to bathe. Who would’ve thought that the glorious bath would be gone just like that?”

Gu Changqing was not having it. “What about me then?”

Gu Yuan said, “Give it a rest. The Above Immortal Realm is far from the previous eras. Immortal Qi’s decreasing year after year. We have to fight for Immortal Qi as a resource and the water from the pond was drunk dry.”

Gu Changqing frowned in realization. “They drank the water from the pond. What a bunch of animals.”

Payne did not look happy. “Shut up! It’s not easy for anyone these days. You just immortalized, go sign up at the Azure Ville Sect.”

“Oh, yeah. Something huge happened in the Above Immortal Realm recently! Let’s talk while we walk.” Gu Yuan looked excited so it had to be good news.

The three of them rode on clouds towards the Azure Ville Sect.

Gu Changqing asked excitedly, “Grandpa, what is it?”

Gu Yuan asked in a low voice, “Do you remember the Lord Immortal I told you about?”

Gu Changqing nodded. He remembered that the Lord Immortal was a Golden Immortal. Extremely powerful with Immortal Qi flowing in him—the terrifying Golden Immortal.

He said worriedly, “I remember that the Lord Immortal captured the ancestor’s lover.”

Gu Yuan nodded, “Yes, but actually a lot of things happened. It’s dangerous and risky. You’re still a child so we didn’t bring you along.”

Gu Changqing felt like he should have become an Immortal sooner. He said curiously, “It must be good from the looks of it. Quick, tell me everything.”

“Alright, here’s what happened…”

Payne and Gu Yuan told him every detail.

Gu Changqing was mesmerized by the story. He wished that he could witness the glory of the expert. He could only say respectfully, “The expert’s truly an expert.”

“Not done yet!”

Payne laughed. He was pleased. He made fun of the Lord Immortal, “That Lord Immortal’s Liuyun Palace faced a natural tribulation that day. According to sources, the storm tribulation was extremely scary. Skies went dark, everyone was fearful, and half of the Liuyun Palace was struck down by lightning!”

Gasp—

“Awesome!”

Gu Changqing was astounded. He said, “The works of the expert, it must be the works of the expert! He challenged the expert so he faced his fate.”

“I thought so, too!”

Gu Yuan nodded and burst out laughing. “But that’s just the start of it. Rumor has it that the Lord Immortal’s being hunted by a Five-Color-Sacred Cow. He can’t get rid of it no matter where he goes. It’s been days. It’s a popular topic in the Above Immortal Realm.”

Gu Changqing was shocked. “Is this also the works of the expert?”

Payne shook his head. “Not sure. According to reliable sources, he sneakily drank milk from the cow’s daughter. Not only that, he captured the cow’s daughter for the milk. He has a new title now. He’s known as the Milk-Drinking Maniac.”

1

“So crazy? He’d rather have milk than his life!” exclaimed Gu Changqing.

The three of them chatted and laughed. They arrived at the Azure Ville Sect.

They looked joyful and had smiles on their faces.

“Yo, the three elders? You’re so nice. You knew that we were coming so you waited at the door to welcome us, right?”

Payne looked up and smiled. He said, “Let me introduce my descendant to you all. This is Gu Changqing.”

The Big Elder looked troubled. He said in a low voice, “Sect Master, stop with the introduction. Someone huge is here in our sect!”

Payne was slightly taken aback. “Who’s here?”

The Big Elder moved his mouth, “The Liuyun Lord Immortal!”

“Liuyun… Lord Immortal?!”

Payne’s voice cracked. He was fully awake.

1

Gu Yuan looked horrified, too. “Big Elder, you’re joking, right?”

The Big Elder shook his head. “I’m not joking. He wanted to see you and he won’t leave!”

Payne felt weak in his knees.

It was over. It was all over for him. He was probably here for revenge.

He just made fun of the Lord Immortal. Suddenly, he became the butt of the joke. Karma was too fast.

2

He turned around without hesitation. “Go. Does it look like we can stay here? Hurry up and run!”

1

A powerful aura rose inside the Azure Ville Sect before he could run. It targeted Payne and the others. A middle-aged man appeared in front of everyone in a flash.

Everybody stood still. They even stopped breathing as they felt their hair stand on ends. They were ready to fight for their lives.

The man slowly lifted his arm. He saluted and said in a friendly voice, “You must be the Sect Master of the Azure Ville Sect, Cultivator Payne, right? I am Ye Liuyun. There was a misunderstanding. I came here to apologize.”

Payne pursed his lips. Then, he asked, “Liuyun Palace Master, what’s going on?”

Ye Liuyun had a hoarse voice. He could not conceal his sorrow. “I came here to apologize. I want to ask all of you to help me beg for mercy from the expert. Please, spare me.”

“This…”

Payne and the others were stunned.

They looked weirdly at Ye Liuyun and noticed something.

Ye Liuyun was completely different from the previous Ye Liuyun. He was no longer luxurious, he looked more like a lost soul looking for refuge. He had dirt on his face and his clothes were full of holes. One of his sleeves was gone. His face was pale and he was injured.

There was one word that could describe him—tragic.

Payne was quiet. He was so cool when he passed the painting scroll to him. It had only been a short while before he became like that. Life was full of changes.

“Everyone, I was wrong. I made a mistake.”

Ye Liuyun stared at everyone with tears in his eyes. “That cow’s crazy, it won’t listen to me. It’s determined to kill me. It’s crazy! Please, spare me, I beg you!”

At that moment, Ye Liuyun looked like an arrogant teenager who was violently dealt with by society.

He tried everything but still could not get rid of the Five-Color-Sacred Cow. He used up all his items, but his life was still being seriously threatened. That cow also loved to attack the butt.

The impactful attack with its cow horn…

3

Ye Liuyun shivered. He clenched his butthole and felt cold. He did not want to think about it. It was a nightmare!

His Liuyun Palace was destroyed. Everyone was making fun of him. Moreover, his life and his butt were on the line. He was truly desperate. He had to cave in.

Payne asked, “Liuyun Palace Master, why did the cow attack you?”

Ye Liuyun shook his head, “I don’t know why either! But I heard that the Nine-Tailed Fox, Dragon King, and the Fire Phoenix worked together to capture its daughter. I thought about it and in my list of people I’ve offended, only your expert can pull off a scheme like that.”

Nine-Tailed Fox, Fire Phoenix?

Payne and Gu Yuan looked at each other in realization. “It’s the expert indeed.”

Ye Liuyun kept apologizing. “I used to be bossy. Please, give me a second chance. I know I was wrong. Please, stop the cow from chasing me down.”

Payne frowned. “We can’t do anything about that either. I’m afraid you can only go to the expert.”

Ye Liuyun hurriedly said, “I’m willing to go and apologize! I can’t mess with someone like him, I don’t expect his forgiveness but I’m going to beg him to spare my life. Please, everyone, please, help me.”

Payne hesitated.

He stared at Ye Liuyun for a while. He frowned and said, “I’m afraid so. I can take you there, but behave yourself. Also, I have to tell you about some of the expert’s rules.”

“Liuyun Palace Master,” Gu Yuan suddenly spoke up at the side. He looked at him with a serious face and slowly said, “I know you realized how powerful the expert is. However, let me tell you this, what you know is only the tip of the iceberg. The expert’s unimaginably terrifying! Don’t say I didn’t warn you. You have to be sincere and have a respectful attitude!”

Ye Liuyun kept nodding. “Don’t worry, everyone. I don’t have a lot of strengths except for reading the room.”

Payne and the others sighed. “Fine. Prepare to go to the Immortal Realm.”

“Thank you, everyone. Thank you, everyone.” He was the most powerful one amongst them. However, he was the most humble and puny one.

At the Immortal Realm.

The four of them flew through the clouds as the dark clouds went away. Soon, they were at the foot of the Fallen Immortal Mountain.

Gu Yuan said, “The expert’s on this mountain, we have to walk uphill.”

Ye Liuyun nodded without disagreement. “I get it. That’s how it’s supposed to be.”

The four of them walked on the small path without talking.

Everyone felt heavy. They did not walk very fast.

Ye Liuyun was worried that the expert would hold a grudge and simply kill him.

Gu Yuan and the others were worried that the expert would be displeased because they brought Ye Liuyun. The expert might simply kill them.

Halfway through the mountains, everyone jolted when they looked up at the faraway horizon.

They saw a huge figure sprinting at them angrily.

The Five-Color-Sacred Cow had a fire in its eyes. It roared, “Where are you running to? Milk-Drinking Maniac, die!”

1

The four of them were horrified. Their souls almost left their bodies.

They were not horrified by the Sacred Cow. They were scared that the Sacred Cow would demolish the mountain. Who could handle the wrath of the expert?

Too scary, they did not want to imagine it.

They levitated at the same time without hesitation. They used all their might and power to stop the crazy cow.

“Cow, chill. Relax!” Payne was bleeding from his mouth. “I beg you to change your location. Don’t do it here, not here! You’ll cause the apocalypse!”

1

“Change the location? Never in my life have I heard of such ridiculous begging.” The Five-Color Sacred Cow was entertained from that.

It maximized its Power of Law and came down fast like it was a hammer. It was going to demolish the mountain to the ground!

Gu Yuan and the others were worried. They had to protect the mountain but they would soon be knocked away.

Kaboom!

The Five-Color-Sacred Cow landed on the mountain. It looked coldly at Ye Liuyun with red eyes. “Give me my daughter!”

Gu Yuan coughed up blood. He panted and said, “We’ll let you meet your daughter again. But firstly, you can’t damage anything on this mountain!”

“It’s just a small mountain. Why not?” sneered the Five-Color-Sacred Cow. It lifted its hooves and stomped.

Usually, the mountain rocks would fly away and the ground would crack apart. However, it did not react.

Huh?

What was going on?

The Five-Color-Sacred Cow was baffled. It looked over and saw a black dog on top of the mountain. The dog slowly walked over. It had a calm gaze as the mountain breeze blew on its hair. The dog looked cool.

1

It stood on a huge rock as it looked down on everyone.

“Your daughter’s at my Master’s house,” said Blackie. “Her milk is nice, my Master’s very satisfied.”

The Five-Color-Sacred Cow was livid. “What did you say?”

Blackie was expressionless. “I’m afraid milk from your daughter isn’t enough. You’re here just in time. From now on, you’re an ordinary milking cow.”

“Milking cow?!”

The Five-Color-Sacred Cow blew its top off. It could not believe that a mere dog dared to speak to a Sacred Cow like that. “No way, no way!”

It stomped around and sprinted at Blackie like a heavy tank.

Gu Yuan and the others were conscious again. They had never seen Blackie attack before so they were drenched with cold sweat.

“Stop! That’s the expert’s loving dog!”

“Quick, quick, protect the expert’s loving dog!”

“It’s over. The expert loved the dog. He’ll hate us!”

In the blink of an eye, the Five-Color-Sacred Cow sprinted to Blackie. It was as fast as light. They could not see its huge body.

Blackie stood there and gently lifted its paw. Then, it gently tapped the ground!

Suddenly, everything was on pause. The Five-Color-Sacred Cow froze like someone hit the pause button.

1

How was that possible?!

The Five-Color-Sacred Cow noticed the dog paw on its head.

It opened its mouth and moo-ed.

Payne and the others had their mouths wide open. The scene froze like their brains.

Everything went quiet.

Blackie simply glanced at everyone. Then, it turned around with its tail up and left coldly.
