Chapter 673: Immortal Jue Ming

They were smiling on the surface as if they had put the past behind them, all while wishing ill fortune to befall the other on the inside. This was how Lin Jin and Yan Shenjun were acting as they came up with ways to scheme against the other.

As Inferno Monk watched the show unfold, he was thoroughly impressed by Lin Jin’s capacity to act under pressure. While he overpowered Lin Jin in terms of cultivation, when it came to acting and mental strength, Inferno Monk knew he couldn’t compare to the young mortal.

To him, faking a bravado was like treading on thin ice. The slightest bit of carelessness could put him in a catastrophic situation, and Inferno Monk would never be able to keep his composure with this knowledge in mind.

“I can foresee Lin Jin achieving great things in life,” said Inferno Monk earnestly.

Then, Lin Jin stepped forward to ask, “Where is the oriole?”

Yan Shenjun hadn’t brought her along. This monster was worth too much so even Yan Shenjun had to be extra-cautious.

“She is still unconscious so I haven’t brought her with me,” replied Yan Shenjun truthfully. At this point, regardless of whether the other party was being sincere, they had to work together. This was surely better than resorting to a fight.

If they went on to activate the Mantra of Heaven and Yan Shenjun was to obtain the treasure inside, Yan Shenjun was confident that with his potential and capabilities, he could achieve a breakthrough and transform into an unfettered immortal.

Given the treasure’s true origin, it probably had other functions too. In other words, so long as Yan Shenju got his hands on the treasure, he would be invincible.

Even Curator wouldn’t be able to do anything to him.

This was Yan Shenjun’s real plan.

And now, he required patience more than ever.

Lin Jin seemed genuinely intent on cooperating with Yan Shenjun as he offered to find ways to save the oriole woman. This was consistent with Yan Shenjun’s plan. This was how two men who couldn’t wait to rip each other apart engaged in a joyful collaboration.

“Venerable Inferno, why don’t you come along too? So Yan Shenjun won’t have to worry,” invited Lin Jin, helping Yan Shenjun to voice his concerns.

Lin Jin deliberately said this to exude more grounded confidence, which would scare Yan Shenjun into working compliantly with them.

And so, Lin Jin, Yan Shenjun, and the other immortals left this snowy land.

It wasn’t long before the eerie whistling of the chilling wind and the flutter of snowflakes returned. Moments later, a ring of fire appeared at the cave’s entrance and Xiang Yun emerged from it.

She had been hiding inside Inferno Monk’s cave this whole time, as instructed by Lin Jin.

Lin Jin even told her to seek the Mystery Dao Sect’s Miao Yan Zhenren to tell him about what happened after they leave. The sooner she visited them, the better.

This was a crucial part of Lin Jin’s plan because he had only been bluffing so far. Curator’s cultivation level was far from an unfettered immortal’s, so if a fight did break out, Lin Jin and Inferno Monk wouldn’t stand a chance.

Bravado was only a temporary solution; Lin Jin needed to arrange for further plans.

Off the top of his head, he could only think of the Mystery Dao Sect’s Miao Yan Zhenren and the Immortal Cloud Sect’s Xuan Yue Zhenren.

Although he never met the latter before, with his connection to Qin Yunshang, this profound immortal should be willing to offer his assistance. If both sects intervened, defeating Yan Shenjun would be much easier.

With this, leaving Xiang Yun behind became a crucial part of his plan. Without her, no one would be able to keep the Mystery Dao Sect updated.

Xiang Yun studied her surroundings with a grave look on her face before invoking a spell to carry her in a certain direction.

However, just after she flew out of the snowy land’s borders, Xiang Yun was stopped by an immortal.

He was tall and slender, standing at about ten feet tall with abnormally long limbs. The sleeves on his arms were outrageously long, resembling the Chinese opera costumes that were so long that they reached the floor.

Xiang Yun had met this person before and recognized him to be one of Yan Shenjun’s disciples, known as Immortal Jue Ming.

Yan Shenjun had many disciples with varying strengths. Immortal Jue Ming was an outstanding individual and was Yan Shenjun’s only inherited disciple.

Xiang Yun knew that Immortal Jue Ming was a notorious assassin who never failed his mission.

No doubt, the cunning Yan Shenjun must have suspected that there were other people were still hiding inside the cave so he stationed Immortal Jue Ming here after they left. The instant Xiang Yun emerged from the cave, he already had his eyes on her.

Judging by the man’s stance and malicious expression, Xiang Yun knew he was here to take her life.

In terms of cultivation, although Xiang Yun was also a half immortal, her combat ability couldn’t be counted on. She had no chance of winning against Immortal Jue Ming and she knew that. Hence, Xiang Yun was now a nervous wreck.

A savage grin bloomed on Immortal Jue Ming’s harrowing face. He too was a brutal man of few words. Without saying a word, he went straight for an attack.

According to his cultivation level and capabilities, he could take Xiang Yun down in just one move. She wouldn’t have the chance to retaliate at all.

Yet, before Immortal Jue Ming unleashed his attack, Xiang Yun tossed out something.

Immortal Jue Ming smirked, musing what an idiot Xiang Yun was.

‘Even if you manage to make the first move, your cultivation level, realm, spells, and even magic treasures are useless against me. I can easily…’

While he was celebrating his victory prematurely, Immortal Jue Ming saw the thing Xiang Yun tossed out explode into a bloody cloud. Immediately after, two worms sped towards him. It all happened so quickly that he could not dodge the attack.

At the sight of the worms, Immortal Jue Ming almost shouted.

‘Spirit devouring ghost worms…’

The thought came to mind just as he felt a sting on his body. The ghost worms had bitten him, diving into his flesh so quickly that Immortal Jue Ming failed to react in time. He couldn’t react even if he wanted to anyway.

As Yan Shenjun’s most experienced disciple, how could Immortal Jue Ming be oblivious to the frightening characteristics of the ghost worms? It was exactly because of his awareness that he felt fear.

Once the ghost worms entered his body, he was beyond salvageable.

“Y-… Why do you have the spirit devouring ghost worms?” Immortal Jue Ming immediately sensed the pain by the gnawing of thousands of worms. Even the profound immortal, Inferno Monk, couldn’t withstand the attack of these worms, so how could Immortal Jue Ming, who was only a slightly more powerful half immortal, withstand these ghost worms?

He gave up his attack and fell to the ground, groaning in pain.

Xiang Yun would never answer his question and he wouldn’t live long enough to hear it anyway. Thousands of holes have now been created throughout Immortal Jue Ming’s body and even his soul was devoured. After a few cries, he stopped moving.

The death of an immortal!

Although this wasn’t Xiang Yun’s first time watching an immortal being bitten to death by the ghost worms, it still frightened her.

The only difference compared to the past was that she was responsible for unleashing the ghost worms.
