Chapter 779: Xuan Hang Pa.s.ses On

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Inside the extraterritorial land, the immortal devouring beast had previously gone on a rampage here. Although only a small area was affected, the commotion had been unprecedented.

The loose immortals had been frightened and they hid inside their caves, trembling and refusing to come out. They stayed inside even after the immortal devouring beast had left.

The remaining immortal sects in the area weren’t any better.

Actually, the immortal devouring beast had incidentally invaded an immortal sect when it was here and a ma.s.sacre unfolded. Dozens of the sect’s immortals pa.s.sed on as a result and the news spread out to the other immortals in the land.

Then, news of a half-human half-snake monster with a large spider in tow spread out as well. Some even said that the freakish monster was the renowned villainous profound immortal, Yan Shenjun.

The Mystery Dao Sect received this news rather quickly and prioritized the issue. After understanding the situation, Miao Yan Zhenren summoned all his disciples back at once.

“We are almost sure that it’s Yan Shenjun but it’s also shocking that he’s still alive.” Inside the Mystery Dao Sect, Miao Yan Zhenren was frowning hard. The other immortals in the room looked solemn as well.

The situation was different from what they expected.

If Yan Shenjun were alone, Miao Yan Zhenren could subdue him. Yet, the news said that Yan Shenjun had transformed. Not only had he become part snake and gained the appearance of a saint, but he could also control the heaven weaving spider. That wasn’t all either. It was Yan Shenjun who lured the immortal devouring beast here and he even survived a fight against it and successfully escaped.

What this represented frightened them.

Yan Shenjun had grown so powerful that perhaps even Miao Yan Zhenren was no match for him.

“If we can’t fight the enemy, it’s best we avoid confronting them,” Chen Xuankong said. Since he interacted with Lin Jin the most compared to the others, he was influenced by Lin Jin’s style.

They would fight if they could, but wouldn’t force things if they couldn’t. While there was life, there was hope. Such was the warning Lin Jin repeatedly gave him.

Miao Yan Zhenren nodded at this.

Sometimes one mustn’t insist on being a hero but retreat when the time called for it.

“But where should we go?” an immortal asked.

Miao Yan Zhenren already had an idea. There weren’t many places in the extraterritorial land where they could hide. Even if there was, it couldn’t compare to the place Lin Jin offered them.

The Unending Nature Landscape.

Lin Jin had left behind in the Mystery Dao Sect a Divine Cloud Pa.s.sage to the Unending Nature Landscape. One of the reasons was so that he didn’t have to travel too far to get here, and the other reason was for it to serve as an emergency escape route.

With a hiding place secured, another person asked when they should evacuate. Miao Yan Zhenren said they would evacuate now.

He had minimal divination skills, and since just now, his eyelid had been twitching madly. He also felt uneasy so he decided not to waste time.

Fortunately, he had summoned his disciples back in advance so it didn’t take much time for them to move. They also carried their sect’s treasures and books along with them into the Unending Nature Landscape.

Miao Yan Zhenren’s premonition had been spot on.

Yan Shenjun was actually leading the heaven weaving spider and Patriarch Xue Pao to the Mystery Dao Sect at that moment.

If they hadn’t come across the Immortal Cloud Sect’s Xuan Yue Zhenren and Xuan Hang halfway through, they would have reached the Mystery Dao Sect long ago.

Xuan Yue Zhenren and Xuan Hang had been very unlucky to encounter Yan Shenjun who then set both of them as his target.

For no reasons other than him being hungry, and the fact that Lin Jin and the Immortal Cloud Sect were allies. So these two must be killed.

With this, the Mystery Dao Sect managed to escape instead.

Xuan Yue Zhenren had a high cultivation level that was comparable to Miao Yan Zhenren’s—she might be even stronger. She was also one of the top few expert immortals in the extraterritorial land. Or rather, she was the strongest in the area.

Prior to this, it wouldn’t have taken much effort for her to defeat Yan Shenjun. But now, she was heavily wounded after just one attack.

Xuan Hang panicked at this sight. He was only a half immortal so he was obviously inferior to Xuan Yue, what more Yan Shenjun. Yet, he couldn’t just watch his beloved die right in front of his eyes.

He knew a spell called Thousand Mile Teleportation.

It wasn’t an easy spell to perform but was a premium escape spell. He would need to cast it with an amulet and the amulet wasn’t easy to craft.

Xuan Hang only had one left with him.

In other words, if he wanted to escape, even the immortal devouring beast couldn’t catch him, much less Yan Shenjun. However, Xuan Hang didn’t feel the impulse to escape at all. He took out the amulet and stuck it on Xuan Yue Zhenren.

The last image Xuan Yue Zhenren saw was her junior’s smiling face.

Pure and clean, he looked just like he was several thousand years ago when he entered the Immortal Cloud Sect in his youth.

Lights streamed past and Xuan Yue Zhenren was instantly teleported to the Immortal Cloud Sect.

She was stunned before she digested what just happened.

“Xuan Hang!!!”

A pained voice shouted.

Xuan Yue Zhenren already knew what would happen. Her junior, Xuan Hang, gave her a chance at life while he chose death.

The Immortal Cloud Sect was quite far away so they had enough time to evacuate. Yan Shenjun had barged into the Mystery Dao Sect with a thirst for blood but ended up seeing the place already emptied upon his arrival. He destroyed the sect out of fury and then rushed to the Immortal Cloud Sect, but that too was empty.

In other words, his goal wasn’t achieved.

In his rampage, Yan Shenjun began slaughtering indiscriminately and no one could stop him. Many loose immortals got caught by him and were swallowed alive, dying tragic deaths.

However, the Mystery Dao Sect and Immortal Cloud Sect were saved. They all hid inside the Unending Nature Landscape.

Xuan Yue Zhenren was filled with grief but she pulled herself together to discuss countermeasures with Miao Yan Zhenren. No doubt, Yan Shenjun’s current cultivation level had surpa.s.sed unfettered immortal level.

Even the Immortal Cloud Sect’s Rank 8 storm beast couldn’t stand up to him.

If it actually did, it would most definitely be killed by Yan Shenjun. That, Miao Yan Zhenren and Xuan Yue Zhenren knew very well.

“It’ll be the same even if Lin Jin is here. He can’t fight Yan Shenjun and we must inform him about this,” Miao Yan Zhenren said, looking worried.

“How did Yan Shenjun gain a saint’s aura? The Heavens know no justice!” an immortal exclaimed through bloodshot eyes. He was an Immortal Cloud Sect disciple. Now that they had lost Xuan Hang, the entire sect was furious. Yet, they were too weak to seek revenge against Yan Shenjun.

Good thing Yan Shenjun didn’t know of the Unending Nature Landscape’s existence nor could he find the place. Otherwise, the immortals would lose their last safe haven.

They had no other option but to wait for a discussion with Lin Jin. Problem was, they couldn’t find him.

Because at that moment, Lin Jin was in the Nine-Heaven Realm, advancing Xiao Huo’s rank.

So unless Lin Jin entered the Unending Nature Landscape on his own, even Shu Xiaolou couldn’t contact him otherwise.
