Chapter 448 An Immortal God Is Unworthy of Being Human
"Grandma Rong, it's you!"

Xiong Ba suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the old woman.

"It's rare, it's rare that Chief Xiong actually remembers me."

Xiong Ba snorted coldly: "You are the first wife of the Poison King Bi Xitian, how could I forget?"

“Back then, you tried to persuade my husband to surrender, but he refused, so you killed more than twenty members of my family. Since that day, I have been waiting for today. Today is the day when you, your daughter, and your son-in-law go to the Yellow Springs together.”

In the original story, Rong Po used the "Kiss of Death" to trick Nie Feng and You Ruo, causing You Ruo to be poisoned by the "Kiss of Death," forcing Xiong Ba to use his true energy to neutralize it, putting him in a dilemma. Unfortunately, man proposes, God disposes, and his martial arts skills were not good enough, so he was ultimately killed by You Ruo with a single palm strike.

Because of Ying Xun's appearance, the plot changed. He himself had forgotten about Rong Po, but unexpectedly she jumped out on his wedding day.

Xiong Ba's gaze sharpened, and he said disdainfully, "You think you can kill our whole family?"

"Xiongba, you are all poisoned now. Using your inner energy recklessly will only hasten your death. Prepare to die!"

"Wait a moment!"

"Boy, what do you have to say?"

“Granny Rong, I can understand why you want to kill my father-in-law and my wife, after all, my father-in-law slaughtered your entire family. But why do you want to kill me? I have no grudge against you.”

"You are Xiong Ba's son-in-law, so you deserve to die!"

Ying Xun shook his head and sighed.

"Hey kid, what are you sighing about?"

"I'm sighing at your good fortune. If it weren't for my wedding today, you would be dead by now."

After saying that, Ying Xun didn't give Rong Po a chance to speak. With a wave of his long sleeve, a violent burst of energy sent Rong Po flying.

Xiong Ba looked displeased: "Boy, why didn't you kill her?"

“Father-in-law, you killed their entire family, so it is only right and reasonable for them to kill you in revenge. A monk cannot commit such a heinous crime.”

Ying Xun shook his head, withdrew his hand, and smiled, "Alright, you can take care of the rest on your own. As for the mess here, I'll trouble you, Father-in-law, to deal with it. Sword Saint, come on, let's have a drink together."

The Sword Saint didn't move: "I still have some things to discuss with Xiong Ba."

"Alright, you guys chat. When you're done, come to Lakeside Lodge and we'll have a drink together."

Ying Xun knew without a doubt what the Sword Saint and Xiong Ba were going to talk about: resolving the hostile relationship between the World Society and the Peerless City.

It would be best if this matter could be accomplished.

It can't happen... There's absolutely no possibility of that, after all, Xiong Ba can't defeat the Sword Saint.

So, without his intervention, Xiong Ba had no choice but to agree to the Sword Saint's request to make peace with Wushuang City.

Of course, Xiong Ba may only agree on the surface, but he will still take action against Wushuang City in secret.

But then again, given the current state of the World Society, unless Xiong Ba personally intervenes, can he secretly cause harm to Wushuang City?
If they could, Wushuang City wouldn't have been able to rival the Tianxia Society for so many years.

In fact, just as Ying Xun had guessed, not long after he and You Ruo left, Xiong Ba reached a reconciliation with the Sword Saint in front of all the sects present.

It seems that Xiong Ba was forced to make peace, which severely weakened his prestige, but in reality, this was not the case, because the Sword Saint also promised Xiong Ba that Wushuang City would help him conquer the world.

Afterwards, Xiong Ba personally went to Wushuang City, signed an alliance declaration with Mingyue, and announced it to the world.

With the help of Wushuang City, Xiong Ba thought he would soon unify the martial arts world, sweep across the Central Plains, and ascend to the throne of the supreme ruler.

The idea was nice, but the reality was harsh.

Xiong Ba never expected that on his way back to the World Society from Wushuang City, he would be assassinated by his own father. Not only was he stripped of his position as leader, but he was also subjected to endless pursuit.

Ying Xun and You Ruo were unaware of this matter, because after they went to Wushuang City with Xiong Ba and discussed everything with Ming Yue, they set off for Jiangnan.

A sailboat drifts downstream with the current.

Besides You Ruo and Ying Xun, the group also included the Sword Saint, Wen Chou Chou, and two maids who had served at the Lakeside Pavilion.

In fact, there were more than two maids who left Huxin Xiaozhu with You Ruo, but after leaving the Tianxia Society, You Ruo freed them. Only Qiu Jin and Xiang Lian stayed by You Ruo's side because they had no relatives or friends.

At this moment, You Ruo was fishing by the boat with Xiang Lian and Qiu Jin, while Ying Xun was playing chess with the Sword Saint.

As for Wen Chou Chou, he was brewing tea on the deck, occasionally offering a few pointers to the Sword Saint.

Before long, the emerald green tea poured into the cup. The thin-walled white porcelain was as translucent as jade, as white as snow, and as vibrant as green, instantly dispelling the summer heat at first glance.

It must be said that Wen Chou Chou's ability to serve people is indeed remarkable; at least in tea ceremony and Go, he is quite accomplished.

Ying Xun took the teacup, took a slow sip, and smiled, "This tea is quite good. It must be a top-quality tea made from the tender buds of Biluo Peak in Dongting Lake."

Wen Chou Chou smiled slightly: "Indeed, I didn't expect my son-in-law to be so knowledgeable about tea."

“Drinking tea is good for health. Taoists like to have a sip of tea all the time. The more they drink, the more they naturally know about it, but they can’t be considered experts.” Ying Xun said, casually placing a piece on the board and laughing, “Old Sword Saint, you’re going to lose again.”

Why say "again"? Because the Sword Saint has already lost two games in a row, and now it's the third.

"No more, no more."

Sword Saint, in a sly manner, scrambled the chess pieces, took the teacup handed to him by Wen Chou Chou, took a sip, and asked, "By the way, your trip to Jiangnan this time wasn't just for sightseeing, was it?"

"I'm going to keep an appointment, and while I'm at it, I'll see if I can find the Divine Stone. I might even have to deal with that guy who calls himself a god."

Divine Stone?

Wen Chou Chou was startled and asked, "Is it the Divine Stone, one of the Four Wonders on the Panic List?"

"good."

"Then, son-in-law, you're saying that the guy who calls himself a god is the immortal god on the list of terrors?"

"Congratulations, you got it right again."

The Sword Saint picked up the conversation, frowning slightly, and asked, "Is the God of Immortality really as powerful as you say?"

"Anyway, if you don't use Sword Twenty-Three, you're no match for him. His strength isn't bad, it's just..."

"Just what?"

Ying Xun slowly took a sip of tea before replying, "He just has a narrow mind; he's nothing more than a cowardly and weak-willed person with a narrow mind."

The Sword Saint looked incredulous: "If he claims to be an immortal god, how could he be so weak?"

"Have you ever heard a story? Long ago, there was a white snake who had cultivated for a thousand years. She was highly skilled and took human form. To repay the kindness she had once shown, she was guided by Guanyin Bodhisattva to meet Xu Xian at West Lake in Qiantang. She married Xu Xian to repay the kindness, but humans and demons are different, and she was eventually suppressed by Fahai under Leifeng Pagoda."

Wen Chou Chou refilled Ying Xun's teacup and said with a smile, "I've heard of the Legend of the White Snake. I'm afraid there are few people in the world who don't know this story."

"Then I'll tell you a story too, it's also the story of Bai Suzhen."

"Wait a minute." You Ruo called out and quickly ran to sit down next to Ying Xun: "Alright, you can speak now."

"About 180 years ago, there appeared a man of exceptional intelligence in the world. Anyone who tried to outwit him would lose. He was well-versed in all kinds of books, and was proficient in Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism. He was also knowledgeable in astronomy, geography, and the art of divination. He had an extremely high talent for martial arts and was one of the most outstanding masters in the world."

"Is the person you're talking about the immortal god?"

Ying Xun nodded: "That's right. When he was thirty, he felt that he was the most special person in the world and the most qualified to control his own destiny, so he simply abandoned his name and called himself a god."

Since there are gods in this world, there must also be demons, just like yin and yang coexist. There is yang within yin and yin within yang. Perhaps it is an innate attraction that brought gods and demons together and made them husband and wife.

Like gods, demons are also exceptionally gifted all-rounders. Moreover, demons have a higher level of comprehension in martial arts than gods. As a result, demons have aroused the jealousy and fear of gods.

God was jealous of the demon's martial arts talent and feared that the demon would one day surpass him, so God gave the demon poison and pushed him into an abyss.

This demon is none other than Bai Suzhen, the demon lord listed on the Fear List.

"The god of immortality is truly shameless!"

As soon as You Ruo spoke, she received affirmation from Qiu Jin and Xiang Lian.

"Miss is right, this god of immortality is truly hateful!"

"This kind of person doesn't deserve to be called a god at all; he should be called a demon."

Ying Xun simply smiled, took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and continued telling the story.

"The immortal god's surname is Bu, so Bai Suzhen is also known as Bu Bai Suzhen. She and the immortal god have a daughter, and the immortal god gave his daughter the same name as his wife - Bai Suzhen."

Back then, the immortal god founded an organization called the Search God Palace, intending to rule the world. However, due to various reasons, he ultimately failed. Bai Suzhen grew up in the Search God Palace but disliked its atmosphere, so she left and met Xu Xian, and they fell in love.

This angered the God of Immortality, who sent the law enforcement elder Fahai to eliminate Bai Suzhen and Xu Xian.

Bai Suzhen possesses two great divine skills: the World-Destroying Demon Body and the Heaven-Shifting Divine Technique. Her cultivation level is close to that of a god, and even Fahai cannot do anything about her.

So, the immortal god gave Fahai a weapon, which was the divine stone, one of the four great stones.

The power of the divine stone is extremely strong; even an ordinary person could use it to kill a peerless master.

"Did Fahai kill Bai Suzhen?" Youruo asked.

Ying Xun shook his head: "Although Fahai serves the God of Immortality, he is compassionate and cannot accept the God of Immortality's decision to kill his daughter, so he came up with a plan."

"What's the plan?"

"He gave the divine stone to Xu Xian, so that Xu Xian could kill Bai Suzhen. Fahai thought that the two were truly in love and had made vows of eternal love. They would stage a tragic farewell, a final vow that would last until the mountains crumbled. Then, he would secretly intervene and turn the farewell into a fake death to escape, achieving the best of both worlds."

Ying Xun then changed the subject: "But who knew that Xu Xian was just all show and no substance? In fear, he chose to secretly attack Bai Suzhen. Although Bai Suzhen was a top-notch expert and could detect Xu Xian's actions, she was heartbroken by the actions of the person she loved and did not put up any resistance. She accepted her death without hesitation and was ultimately left without a complete corpse."

You Ruo gritted her teeth in hatred: "The immortal god deserves to die, and so does Xu Xian!"

Ying Xun ignored You Ruo and said to the Sword Saint, "Is there a problem with me calling someone like the Immortal God cowardly, weak, and narrow-minded?"

In fact, there are still many secrets about the immortal god that he has not revealed.

For example, the immortal god comes from the Bu clan and is of the same lineage as Bu Jingyun.

The Bu clan is a race blessed by the heavens; all the men in the clan are either martial arts prodigies or learned sages.

Even Bu Jingyun's relatively unknown biological father, Bu Yuanting, whose talent was rather mediocre, was a top-notch sword-making master at the time.

What's even more terrifying is that every so often, a person with extraordinary talent will emerge from the Bu clan.

Once they grow up, they will all become figures who leave behind a legend in the martial arts world.

For example: the Sword God from 500 years ago, the Knife God from 400 years ago, the Fist God from 300 years ago, and the Immortal God from 200 years ago...

However, while the Bu clan was blessed by the heavens, it was also cursed.

All men of the Bu clan are subject to the "forty-year limit," meaning they will die once they reach the age of forty, even those who were once sword gods, knife gods, or fist gods are no exception.

To date, only the immortal god who comprehended the "Heavenly Shifting Divine Technique" has broken through the forty-year limit, achieving immortality and eternal existence...

Of course, it is also worth mentioning the Search for Gods Palace founded by the immortal god.

The Search God Palace once gathered the world's most talented individuals and was the number one power in the world, enjoying unparalleled prestige. It was even more powerful than the current World Association. However, after a hundred years, the Search God Palace has become depleted of its talents. Now, under the command of the Immortal God, there are only a handful of people with relatively strong abilities, such as the High Priest, the Second Priest, Xueyuan, Xiaoqing, the Divine General, and Fazhi.

More importantly, these few people are all traitors.

They're either thinking about running away or about usurping the throne.

Otherwise, they simply want to kill a god.

There was also the immortal god who once attempted to unify the Central Plains martial arts world and then conquer the world.

Unfortunately, he was blocked by the combined forces of the ten major sects, and the Search God Palace also suffered heavy losses in its fierce battle with the ten major sects...

However, these are all minor details and there's no need to mention them.

The Sword Saint shook his head: "No, you're wrong. This immortal god is not only narrow-minded and cowardly, but also ruthless. He even dared to murder his own wife and daughters. He's not worthy of being human!"

You don't deserve to be human!

This is the Sword Saint's definitive assessment of the immortal god.

For the current Sword Saint, his greatest regret in this life is his wife, Miyamoto Yukiryu.

Therefore, what he could not tolerate most was the murder of his wife and daughters.

“Yes, he is not worthy of being human. This immortal god is a beast... no, even tigers don't eat their cubs. He is not even as good as a beast. Don't let me meet him, or I will make him pay.”

Ying Xun pulled the sulking You Ruo aside and laughed, "Alright, let's not talk about these unpleasant things anymore. It's getting late, let's get ready and cook. What do you want to eat today?"

Although You Ruo was angry, it was ultimately someone else's story. Now, hearing Ying Xun's question, her attention was diverted, and she excitedly said, "I want to eat fish!"

"Okay, let's eat fish then. I'll see if I can catch a big one."

Seeing Ying Xun's meaningful smile, the Sword Saint was taken aback: "Why do I feel like what you're saying doesn't sound like you're talking about fishing?"

"No, I was talking about fishing."

Ying Xun smiled, got up and walked to the side of the boat, picked up the fishing rod, changed the bait, and cast it into the river.

In fact, the Sword Saint's feeling was not wrong, but it wasn't entirely correct either.

Because Ying Xun was both fishing and fishing.

He believed that after learning about the list of terror, the immortal god would once again focus his attention on the divine stone of Leifeng Pagoda and set traps for those who tried to obtain it.

Of course, given the nature of an immortal god, he might not show himself in person...
