She is devoted to cultivating immortality

Chapter 2 The End of Fate
There are immortals in this world.

Even the frequency of immortals appearing in the world is not rare.

In the memories of Xie Lian’s previous life, there are many legends about immortals.

Some are playing with the world, some are seeking something from it, and some are just there by chance.

However, Xie Lian speculated that most of these immortals who left traces in the human world should be of relatively low strength. They have just started practicing and have mastered some methods. They can only be regarded as practitioners, not immortals.

But the people obviously don't have this insight.

"Famous" magical arts such as severed heads and reborn are already the limit of their imagination.

So when people saw that Xie Lian was beheaded but not dead, and his headless body was connected to his head and he came back to life, quite a number of people immediately thought of him as an "immortal"!
"This girl must be a true immortal!"

More and more people knelt down and kowtowed.

Even the imperial guards and officials guarding the execution ground were at a loss for a moment, with panic in their eyes.

Especially the executioner who had just chopped off Xie Lian’s head with his own hands, his face turned pale, he fell to the ground and begged for mercy repeatedly.

"Fairy, please forgive me. I didn't know you were here to see me. I offended you and I deserve death!"

He was completely confused and spoke without thinking. One moment he asked for forgiveness, and the next he said he deserved to die.

Xie Lian certainly had no intention of arguing with him.

In fact, at this moment, she was more shocked than anyone else present.

Family members know their own business. She is just a mortal, how can she be an immortal?
The rebirth of the severed head just now was clearly due to the bronze tripod.

"The cloud energy in the cauldron must be extraordinary!"

Xie Lian murmured in his heart.

How could she not know that the culprit that caused her to suddenly travel through time and get stabbed for no reason was precisely this bronze tripod.

Yesterday she passed by an antique market and was so infatuated with the bronze tripod that she became curious. So after some bargaining, she bought it for three thousand yuan and took it home.

Because it was already late, I didn't have time to study it in detail. I just wiped it briefly and went to rest.

Who would have thought that when I woke up, I would have arrived in a different world.

The bronze tripod turned from solid to virtual and could not be seen on normal days. Only after she was beheaded and her soul was separated did she see the bronze tripod appear. No one knew where the cloud in the tripod came from, but it was so magical.

Not only did it allow Xie Lian to be reborn after his head was severed, but it also changed her entire physique.

Her feelings were obvious.

After she was successfully "resurrected", the energy in that wisp of cloud seemed to have not been exhausted and continued to flow through her body, sweeping away all the fatigue, hidden injuries, and weakness in her body, and even her spirit became much better.

Her entire temperament can be said to have undergone a complete transformation, and coupled with her appearance, she looks even more extraordinary.

After the cloud energy transformed her body, the remaining bit of energy flowed into Xie Lian's eyes. At this moment, he felt a warm sensation, but Xie Lian no longer had time to study it further.

She came to her senses, saw the people worshipping her, and immediately felt a sense of crisis.

Yes, it is a sense of crisis.

Her thinking had become much more agile than before, and she realized her situation instantly.

The reason why people worship her is that they see she has the ability to "bring the dead back to life" and they regard her as an immortal.

But is she an immortal?

Apparently not.

Perhaps because that wisp of cloud was limited in quantity, it did not give Xie Lian any powerful strength after transforming her body.

There is no way to talk about the inheritance of immortal skills, rare treasures and the like.

Now she has no ability to protect herself.

If he cut her again, she would really die.

The energy in the cauldron has been exhausted...

How could she, without any trump card, face Emperor Qian, who was so desperate to achieve immortality?

If Emperor Qian determined that she was an immortal and asked her to refine the elixir of immortality or hand over the secret of immortality, she would be exposed in a minute.

By then, I'm afraid that I will be dragged out and torn into pieces by Emperor Qian, who was hopeful at first and then desperate...

Xie Lian had no intention of dealing with this tyrant who killed people like grass for the time being.

So, she must get away!

We must leave Fengdu as quickly as possible!

Wait until you are safe, and then study your "golden finger" carefully. Then maybe you can really become an immortal one day.

But it was not so easy to get away, there were so many civilians, even imperial guards and officials at the scene. If I didn't scare them first, it would not be so easy for me to leave.

At this very moment, the executioner, who had come to his senses due to excessive shock, finally came to his senses and bowed to Xie Lian with a bit of awe, a bit of eagerness, and a bit of confusion.

"Excuse me, Taoist priest, are you really an immortal?"

Your Majesty has been seeking immortality for many years, but the immortals in the world seem to be deliberately avoiding him. The person in front of you is the one who is closest to Your Majesty!
The executioner was looking forward to the moment when he thought, if he could bring back an immortal, how delighted the emperor would be, and what kind of reward he would receive.

Xie Lian could easily guess what he was thinking. He sneered in his heart and deliberately ignored him. He did not even answer his question. Instead, he turned around and looked at the trembling and kowtowing executioner.

"Today I was chopped down by a knife. It seemed that the person holding the knife was you, but in fact you were just a knife in the hands of someone else."

"People are alive, and knives are dead. Even if there is a real grudge, I won't bother with dead things."

"So don't worry, there is no cause and effect between you and me."

Xie Lian chewed over every word he said, trying to comfort the executioner without losing his own dignity.

The executioner heard this, although he didn’t fully understand, but he could tell that Xie Lian didn’t want to bother with him, and he immediately showed joy, but he still didn’t dare to stand up and remained kneeling.

"Taoist Priest, you..."

The executioner's face turned pale.

After all, he was a scholar, so it was not difficult for him to hear the meaning behind Xie Lian's words.

The executioner is just a knife. He is the killer, but he is not the one holding the knife. So who is holding the knife?
Is he the executioner?

Do not!
I'm afraid it's the current emperor!
No matter what people in this world think in their hearts, how can they dare to show their resentment towards the emperor on the surface?

This act can be regarded as treasonous.

If it was someone else, the Imperial Guards would have taken him down long ago, but this person is most likely an immortal...

But as an official appointed by the imperial court, how could he not say something? Just as he was about to organize the prophecy, he happened to meet Xie Lian's eyes.

Not to mention the coldness in the other person's eyes, but the eyes were as bright as stars, which made him feel that he was seen through. The words that just came to his lips were immediately swallowed back.

Xie Lian had no idea that the last bit of aftermath of the cloud in the cauldron had made her eyes look a little mysterious. Everything came from her heart, and the coldness in her eyes became more and more obvious.

She did not hide her displeasure.

Although he was stabbed by the sword and suffered an unprovoked disaster, the root cause was the tyrant's evil deeds and indiscriminate killing of innocent people.

How could she, who had truly experienced the terror between life and death, let this matter go so easily?
As for the fear of the emperor?

joke.

"Your Excellency, there is no need to tell me what you are thinking, because I will definitely disappoint you... I will not go to see the emperor today."

Xie Lian said.

"Master, you must not do that. Your Majesty is seeking immortality and Taoism with all your heart. If you are willing to follow me to see the Emperor, you will be given a high position and generous salary, and even the position of the Imperial Master may be within your reach."

The executioner first offered bribes, then showed a miserable look.

"Your Majesty, I know that Your Majesty has spared no expense in his quest for immortality. If you knew that the real immortal was here today and I missed it, perhaps my whole family would be in danger of their lives!"

The executioner's words were not completely fabricated; Emperor Qian was really capable of doing such a thing.

So his words were sad and very pitiful.

But Xie Lian would definitely not be persuaded by him. She thought for a moment and immediately came up with an explanation.

"I have no intention of meeting the emperor. As for your life and property, hehe...if you meet the emperor, you can just tell him what I have to say."

"Whether it's elixirs or immortality methods, they are not things that ordinary kings should covet. However, everything in the world cannot escape the word fate. Today, I came to Fengdu by chance. It is God's will."

"If the emperor is both talented and virtuous, and has a kind heart, perhaps there would still be a chance for us to meet today. But you also saw that the sword I just slashed has cut off all chances."

Xie Lian said this with the intention of taking revenge on Emperor Qian, to make him feel uncomfortable and regretful.

"The origin of fate has been destroyed, the origin of fate has been empty... The emperor personally cut off the immortal fate with a knife, so why force to meet again?"

After saying this, Xie Lian chuckled twice and strode out of the city.
The people made way for an escape.

Immortals are immortals after all, and even the emperor does not take them seriously.

Is this the style of an immortal?

The executioner stammered, wanting to stop it but lacking the courage. He looked at the imperial guards around him, only to see that they were even more shaky and could not even hold their weapons steady.

In the end, I could only sigh.

"Well, I can only tell His Majesty everything that happened here. I hope His Majesty... won't regret it!"
