If you don't give up, I'd like to be your adoptive father.

Chapter 495: Facing the True Immortal
The land god did not waste time and quickly locked onto Yu Fengxian's location.

They also figured it out.

He was just a small landowner, following Wen Pan's orders to find someone. Although Yu Fengxian had killed many people, judging from her actions tonight, she was not an unreasonable person.

Those who were hunting down the Guan and Wen families were only looking for those involved in the "sword bone digging" incident.

He had no idea about this, had no involvement, didn't draw his sword to attack her, and yet he survived.

They were forced by Wen Pan and Zhen Xian. Fairy Yu killed Li Wen Pan, the cowardly and fickle villain. That should be enough to vent her anger, right?

In addition to the fact that the land god was serious and quick in his attitude, and was able to quickly lock onto Yu Fengxian, it was also related to her location at the time.

She did not leave Yingxiang Mansion, nor did she leave the city. She did not leave the city completely.

When Heyang Zhenxian saw her, she was eating at a night market stall at the Heilong River Wharf.

Unlike the Liang River in Tianmen Town next door, the Heilong River does not directly cross the city. It is on the edge of the city, but there is no obvious gap between it and the city.

There is no city wall to separate the area, and the area from the dock to the inner city is filled with houses and warehouses.

Even though it was night and a great battle between gods and Buddhas had taken place tonight, the pier still had lanterns hanging high and boatmen were busy at work.

Some ships were unloading cargo, and workers were carrying sacks onto a three-story ship.

There are also more than 20 large ships of the "Southeast Navy" that have left the dock and are rapidly evacuating the territory of Yingxiang Prefecture.

The night is not as busy as the day, especially since the city has just experienced a major riot.

The ship owner, fearing trouble, simply dispersed the workers, raised the anchor and temporarily moved the ship away from the dock.

Therefore, the pier night market is much quieter tonight.

Well, the common people who set up stalls are not afraid of the chaos in the capital city at all.

They are only afraid of being poor, not being able to make money, and not being able to support their families.

As long as there are still guests at the pier, they will follow their past habits and stay until the next morning.

Yu Fengxian occupied a small table all by herself.

There were quite a few plates and bowls on the table.

There were roast duck, roast chicken, green vegetables and tofu skin, fried eggs with pickles, braised meat, and neatly cut steamed fish cakes. Her Qiao Shi sword was also placed on the table.

And she herself was slurping noodles.

From a few steps away, you can smell the aroma of vinegar wafting from the sea bowl.

"Yu Fengxian, I know you are extremely daring, but I still didn't expect you to be so bold. You killed so many people and yet you dared to stay in Yingxiang Mansion." Zeng Wendao said coldly.

The vendor made a bitter face and quickly evacuated with several customers.

"Old Li, who is this immortal?" Xiao Yu still lowered his head and slurped noodles, his voice unclear.

Li Wenpan did not actually show up.

He shrank back and hid in the ghost path, not daring to see anyone.

When he heard Xiaoyu's question, he hesitated again and again, but still did not dare to pretend to be dead.

A ghost head emerged from the ghost path and said embarrassedly: "Fairy Yu, you are indeed far-sighted. I really need the benefits you gave me before."

When he and Xiaoyu parted ways before, Xiaoyu fulfilled her promise and gave him a great benefit.

The big benefit was actually another promise: to give him a chance to betray her.

At that time, Li Wenpan thought she was testing him and even suspected that she wanted to kill him.

After returning safely to the City God's blessed land, he couldn't understand the deep meaning of "opportunity" and simply put it out of his mind.

Now that he was forced by Zeng Wendao to search for Yu Fengxian, Li Wenpan suddenly realized.

This was also one of the reasons why he persuaded Zeng Wendao not to take risks.

He didn't care about Zeng Wendao's life or death.

Zeng Wendao asked about killing Yu Fengxian, and that would be fine.

If Zeng Wendao is beaten to death by Yu Fengxian, he will have to face Yu Fengxian alone again.

At that time, he, a poor man, became even more miserable.

"This great immortal is the best friend of the City God, the only true immortal in East Shu, Zeng Daxian, the True Immortal of Heyang."

Although his mind was full of thoughts, it did not delay him from answering Yu Fengxian's questions.

"Slurp~~" Xiao Yu slurped the half of the hot and sour noodles that were hanging on the edge of the bowl into his mouth, chewed it clean, and then put down his chopsticks and said with emotion: "When I first came to Tianmen Town, I heard the legendary story of Heyang Zhenxian.

I didn’t expect that just half a year later, the legendary immortal would appear before me.

Zeng Daxian, if you don't mind, how about coming over for a drink?"

She looked carefully at the young Taoist priest opposite her.

He was wearing a sky-blue Taoist robe, and apart from a wooden hairpin to hold his hair up, he had no other accessories on his body, looking very plain.

He looks to be around 24 or 25 years old, and although he looks young, his temperament is calm and mature.

He is very handsome, with a nose like a hanging gall bladder and eyes like bright stars. He has the elegance of a scholar and the sharpness of a swordsman.

There is no ethereal and otherworldly appearance of an immortal, but instead there is the worldly and vicissitudes of an old mortal swordsman.

"I'm not here to drink with you." Zeng Wendao said expressionlessly.

Xiao Yu smiled and said, "From the time you saw me at the corner to now when you walked step by step to this stall, you have walked about 72 steps and it took you 28 breaths.

You walked calmly and steadily, neither hurriedly nor slowly, and you didn't draw your sword immediately when you came to me.

Since I was planning to say a few words anyway, I might as well do it while drinking.

In the end, they didn't hesitate to draw their swords and fight each other." Zeng Wendao didn't see any tension or reluctance on her face.

She smiled naturally, spoke in a fluent tone, and there was no hesitation when she spoke.

He couldn't help but be surprised at the other party's carefree and calmness. He was only thirteen years old, but he didn't look like a barbarian at all. The Shangbang Sword Master he had seen was no more than this.

——Brother Guan, Brother Guan, you are well versed in the secrets of medicine and also practice the art of physiognomy. How come you can't see that this kind of person can only be befriended, not made enemies!

He did not go over to drink, but asked woodenly: "Do you know why I came to see you?"

——I am here to kill you to avenge my friend. Why would I drink with you at the same table?
Xiao Yu asked back: "Do you know why I am eating noodles here?"

Zeng Wendao was a little bit surprised by her pretense. He was stunned for a moment before he asked in surprise, "Are you waiting for me?"

She committed such a serious crime, yet she still dared to sit in the night market stall and eat noodles in broad daylight. She must have her own purpose.

But is her purpose to wait for the relatives and friends of the murdered person to come and seek revenge?
Doesn't she understand what kind of strength and realm those who can come to her at this time have?

Xiao Yu said, "I was waiting for 'you'! I didn't expect that you would be the first immortal to arrive. I heard that the immortal has been busy earning merits and paying off debts in recent years. Before you came to Yingxiang Mansion, where were you and how far were you from here?"

"Dongsha Region, Shache Kingdom, is more than 3,800 miles away from here. I was originally hunting a thousand-year-old zombie king who massacred villages and towns. Now I will kill you and rush back overnight so as not to delay my zombie hunting plan." Zeng Wendao said.

"Luodu is less than 800 miles away from Yingxiang Mansion, hehe." Xiaoyu laughed sarcastically, "It seems that the 'prince' is far less valuable than I thought."

Zeng Wendao narrowed his eyes and asked, "Are you going to completely eliminate the 'future trouble' tonight?"

Xiao Yu shook her head and said, “Although I am confident, I am not arrogant.

Being able to kill the demon cicada is just luck.

He practiced magic, became possessed, went mad, and killed people indiscriminately.

Even his two companions, Master Lao Fo and Master Bai Gu, were killed by him.

The remaining Eight Western Immortals were all worried about the situation and joined forces with me to barely wipe it out.

If I face a True Immortal again, I have no confidence in winning the battle."

No matter whether Jin Chanzi and Tathagata Buddha could figure out the details of what happened, she would not hesitate when it came time to lie.

Anyway, muddying the waters will only benefit her and not cause any harm.

If you can’t deceive Tathagata, then you can’t deceive others?
Look, Li Wenpan standing nearby, and the vendors and diners standing far away from them, all showed expressions of realization and amazement.

Even Zeng Wendao only suspected that she was not telling the truth, rather than thinking that she was lying completely.

"But sooner or later I will have to face you. Before leaving, I will first find out who wants to avenge them so that I can determine the identity and strength of the enemy and have a rough idea in my mind." Xiao Yu sighed.

"You say you are not arrogant, but if you really meet us, do you think you can leave calmly?" Zeng Wendao sneered.

Xiao Yu said loudly: "Brother Dao, do you believe that the heaven and earth are impartial and that good and evil will be rewarded?
I killed Guan Chenghuang, his daughter - Old Lady Guan of the Wen family, and I killed Guan Wenlong's entire family.

Do you dare to look me in the eyes and swear to the Jade Emperor with your own Taoism that I should not kill them?"

Zeng asked in silence.

If she hadn't sworn to the Jade Emperor and staked his path on it, he would have argued with her to some extent.

For example, Guan Chenghuang has worked hard for millions of people in Yingxiang Prefecture for a hundred years. Although he has made a mistake now, he has been implicated by his relatives and forced by the evil cicada. Instead of just giving him three cups of wine as punishment, you can find Wen Danxia or Guan Lao Taijun, and teach Guan Chenghuang a lesson, but you won't let him die without even having a chance to correct his mistakes.

He truly felt sorry for his "Brother Guan".

But if he swore to the Emperor of Heaven, he dared to swear that the Emperor of Heaven would definitely notice the changes in Yingxiang Mansion tonight.

The death of Brother Guan was probably due to "disaster" rather than a sudden change beyond "fate".

In other words, the result tonight might be the fate arranged by God for Brother Guan and the Guan family. He dare not gamble, and there is no need to gamble.

Even though this was Brother Guan's fate, given their century-long friendship, it was also his rightful fate to avenge Brother Guan.

Xiao Yu didn't know that his thoughts would be so complicated, and he said in a louder voice: "My sword bone is a gift from heaven. Guan Chenghuang wanted to dig out my immortal bone and give it to Guan Tianfeng more than once!
This behavior violates the laws of heaven and tramples on moral conscience. The Taoist ancestors who teach the three realms, the Emperor of Heaven, and the Buddha in the West will not allow it.

They are all on my side.

Do I still need to be afraid of you guys who are accomplices to the evil?"

Zeng Wendao said slowly: "Even if you speak in a flowery way, it can't cover up your cruelty and brutality, and it is even more impossible to stop me from avenging Guan Chenghuang."

A strong sword intent emanated from him, and his momentum was gradually rising. The invisible energy of heaven and earth drove the air, forming a visible tornado around him.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!" A light white tornado was thirty to five feet in radius and more than ten feet high. The airflow did not contain the coldness of a winter gale, but only the stinging sensation brought by the sharp sword energy.

The vendors, laborers, boat owners, ghosts and gods who were watching the show nearby all understood that the Immortal Heyang was about to take action.

There was panic on their faces, but more of it was excitement.

"Oh my god, Heyang Zhenxian, a legendary figure, not only will we see him with our own eyes tonight, but we will also watch him use his magic!"

"So what if Heyang Zhenxian? Our Yingxiang Mansion Yu Fengxian, except that he didn't become an immortal, his deeds are even more legendary than his. Haven't you heard that Guan Chenghuang died, killed by Yu Fengxian, the prince also died, killed by Yu Fengxian, and the disciple of the Western Buddha's disciple, Yaochan, was also killed. Yu Fengxian killed the immortals!"

"I heard that Yu Fengxian is indeed powerful, but Yaochan practiced magic and became possessed. She was just lucky and got a great bargain."

Everyone was whispering to each other, but they were honestly moving back quickly, leaving more than half of the huge dock empty.

Xiao Yu sighed, "Master Zeng, can you start later? The people I'm waiting for haven't arrived yet."

"Do you think I'm not strong enough for you? Do you plan to fight many people alone?" Zeng asked. The pupils in his eyes faded and disappeared. In the white silver light, a small sword emerged. The small sword was like a fish, swimming back and forth in the eyeball, appearing and disappearing.

Xiao Yu shook his head and said, "How can you understand it this way? If I were so arrogant that I thought I could take on all the immortals, I would have taken you down directly, stepped on your head, and continued to wait for others here. Wouldn't that be more impressive?

I asked you to wait for a moment, but in fact I was showing weakness. But it wasn't really showing weakness, because you are a true immortal, and I'm just a mortal who has only been practicing martial arts for half a year. How can I be your opponent?

If I can't win, I will either be killed or escape. No matter what the outcome, I won't be able to see the person waiting for me."

"You can't escape, and you don't have to wait for anyone after you're killed." Zeng Wendao said in a low voice: "Draw your sword, Guan Chenghuang is waiting for you underground, I'm anxious to send you down to see him!"
