Chapter 40: Chapter 40: 9 Immortals Welcoming! Chapter 40: Chapter 40: 9 Immortals Welcoming! “Another Immortal Artifact!”
In the void, Zhao Long gasped in shock. Another Immortal Artifact! Possessing two Immortal Artifacts, even Independent Immortals who have transcended the ninth tribulation might not be so bold!
The body of the Red Flame Sword Demon fell to the ground.
With a faint command, Ren Changsheng, followed by the Flying Celestial Tiger, descended from the void; Ji Ling’er, standing behind Ren Changsheng at this moment, also looked at Ren Changsheng with a face full of shock.
A third-tribulation Chi Yan Demon was captured just like that!
“I must inform the Emperor, no matter what, we must keep this man within the Great Qin Empire, even if it requires a great price, it’s worth it!”
Ji Ling’er muttered to herself.
If it were an ordinary Immortal, that would be nothing special. Although Immortals are rare, the Great Qin Empire would not fear. But the Ren Changsheng before her was too out of the ordinary.
Ren Changsheng, must be kept here!
“Ren Changsheng, I am an elder of the Sky Demon Sect, you can’t kill me!”
As Ren Changsheng approached, Chi Yan Demon spoke coldly.
“Sorry, I have only been out for a little over a month, I really haven’t heard about the Sky Demon Sect. Besides, a Sky Demon Sect does not have the standing to demand I spare you!”
Ren Changsheng spoke in a calm voice.
Chi Yan Demon was slightly stunned, but after a moment, he understood.
Certainly, Ren Changsheng must have not been out cultivating for long, and so he didn’t know about the Sky Demon Sect.
To the ancient clans, the Sky Demon Sect is indeed nothing special!
“Ren Changsheng, don’t kill me, I have magical artifacts, I’ll give you all my magical artifacts and magic stones, just let me go, everything I have will be yours!”
Chi Yan Demon hurriedly pleaded again.
In the heart of Chi Yan.
“Magical artifacts? Magic stones? Why would I need you to give them to me? Once I kill you, won’t your possessions be mine anyway? Ling’er, wouldn’t you agree?”
Ren Changsheng looked towards Ji Ling’er and smiled.
Ji Ling’er swallowed hard.
That was a third-tribulation Chi Yan Demon, killed just like that?
“No, please don’t kill me, please don’t kill me…”
Chi Yan Demon began to beg for mercy; having failed his tribulation and switched to cultivating as a demon, it was just for the sake of living longer, he didn’t want to die. He really didn’t want to die!
A calm voice sounded.
Ren Changsheng was not a merciful person; if others wanted to kill him, why should he be polite? With a thought, the Trapped Dragon Rope pierced through Chi Yan’s chest.
Chi Yan’s eyes widened enormously.
He never dreamed that he would not die under the heavenly tribulation, but in the hands of a tribulation transcending cultivator.
“Congratulations master for slaying the third-tribulation Chi Yan Demon, rewarded with ten thousand experience points, and one billion experience return, elevating master’s cultivation to the complete transcending tribulation realm!”
“Master, would you like to transcend the tribulation now?”
Xiaoxing’s voice rang in Ren Changsheng’s mind.
“Not transcending now!”
Ren Changsheng took a deep breath. Transcend the tribulation? Although he was not afraid, he would still need to find a quiet place. Who knows how strong this ninety-nine heavenly tribulation might be!
Behind Ren Changsheng, Ji Ling’er couldn’t help but take a deep breath, and even Zhao Long, standing in the void, trembled. That was a third-tribulation Chi Yan Demon, just dead like that!
If Ren Changsheng wanted to kill him, wouldn’t it be even easier?
“Space Ring, collected!”
Ren Changsheng searched out the Space Ring from Chi Yan’s body, let Xiaoxing store the contents into his backpack, and then stood up.
“Thank you for saving me!”
Just at this moment, a figure suddenly appeared in front of Ren Changsheng.
This person knelt down before Ren Changsheng.
Ren Changsheng asked indifferently.
Zhao Long replied respectfully.
“Just now, you did that on purpose, didn’t you?”
Ren Changsheng said calmly.
Zhao Long began to sweat profusely behind his back; indeed, he had done it purposely as he was already seriously injured, and letting the Chi Yan Demon continue to chase him would mean certain death.
He deliberately lured the Red Flame Sword Demon close to Ren Changsheng.
“What I dislike the most is being schemed against. Those who have schemed against me before, their graves must not be intact by now. Of course, some don’t even have a whole corpse left, so there’s no need to talk about their graves!”
Ren Changsheng muttered to himself.
“Master, please spare my life!”
Zhao Long knelt on the ground, his face deathly pale.
“Big brother, don’t kill Daddy!”
But at this moment, a small head emerged from Zhao Long’s embrace.
The small head looked at Ren Changsheng, eyes carrying a hint of pleading.
“There’s a little girl!”
Ren Changsheng glanced at Zhao Long.
“Are you the Loose Cultivator Zhao Long Sword Immortal?”
Just then, Ji Ling’er seemed to remember something and quickly stepped forward.
“Indeed, may I ask who you are…”
Zhao Long’s gaze landed on Ji Ling’er.
“I am Ji Ling’er from the Great Qin Empire. When I went to Zhongzhou to accept the True Dragon inheritance, I saw Zhao Long Sword Immortal in Chaos City!”
Ji Ling’er said with a smile.
“So, it’s Princess Ling’er of the True Dragon inheritance; I was oblivious!”
Zhao Long quickly replied.
“Sword Immortal Zhao Long is too modest. May I know why the Sky Demon Sect is pursuing you?”
Ji Ling’er asked once more.
“Alas! It all started seven years ago; I encountered Leng Yun, a disciple of Sky Demon Sect. We fell in love and became Dao companions, but the Sky Demon Sect discovered it. They not only killed Yun’er but also wanted to…”
Tears suddenly welled up in Zhao Long Sword Immortal’s eyes.
“He’s a man of great love and righteousness!”
Ren Changsheng slightly shook his head; while he respected people like Zhao Long,
Ren Changsheng was well aware that such people often died young in the world of cultivators.
“If it weren’t for Young Master Ren’s rescue, my daughter and I would probably have died at the hands of Chi Yan Demon from the Sky Demon Sect. Young Master Ren, I cannot repay your life-saving grace!”
Zhao Long looked at Ren Changsheng, his face full of gratitude.
Ren Changsheng said indifferently.
“Young Master Ren, if you do not mind, I, Zhao Long, am willing to follow you, even through fire and up mountains of blades!”
At this moment, Zhao Long spoke again.
Ren Changsheng shook his head slightly; following? One might say Zhao Long held no value in Ren Changsheng’s eyes and was even a burden.
“Big brother Changsheng…”
Ji Ling’er took a deep breath. Although Zhao Long was just an Independent Immortal who survived one calamity, such a character was rare and given time, he might even become an Independent Immortal of three calamities or more.
it would be akin to having an Immortal by your side!
Ren Changsheng directly rejected Zhao Long.
Zhao Long’s eyes became somewhat vacant; he had resolved to follow Ren Changsheng, a significant decision for a Loose Cultivator whose freedom was his all.
But at this moment, the void suddenly started to tremble, and vast auras began to emerge from the void.
Momentarily, nine figures appeared in the void.
“What a powerful presence; could these be the Great Qin’s Nine Immortals?”
“My heavens, it really is the Great Qin’s Nine Immortals!”
“The Nine Immortals of Great Qin all appearing together; this must be a sight not seen since Great Qin’s Emperor ascended to the Immortal Realm thousands of years ago. I wonder why today all of the Great Qin’s Nine Immortals are here; could it be because of Immortal Changsheng?”
Once again, the Beihuai Mountain Range trembled.
Nine figures stood proudly, each radiating the aura of Independent Immortals, with the leader similarly surrounded by an immortal aura, a fantastical mountain materializing behind him.
“Xiaoxing, is this an Immortal?”
Ren Changsheng quickly asked Xiaoxing.
“This is an Independent Immortal above four calamities, comparable to an ordinary Earth Immortal, carrying the temperament of an Immortal!”
Xiaoxing’s voice transmitted.
“Independent Immortal of four calamities? Then all these people are Independent Immortals…”
A spark flashed in Ren Changsheng’s eyes.
“The Great Qin’s Nine Immortals, welcome Young Master Ren!”
At that moment, the leading elder stepped forward, bowing to Ren Changsheng.
“Welcome Young Master Ren!”
“Welcome Young Master Ren!”
Behind him, the voices of the eight others boomed out.
The entirety of Beihuai Mountain Range.
Nine Immortals descending, merely to greet one person?
