The End of the Immortal Path

Chapter 254 Kill them all, leave no one alive

Jiang Man was quite surprised by what Ting Fengyin said.

It turns out that Meng Qiewei was the one being targeted.

It wasn't him.

Under normal circumstances, even if it were a targeted attack, it wouldn't be against someone at the Golden Core stage.

At the very least, one must be influenced by the primordial spirit.

It's abnormal to target him right away; it's to force Ji Hao to take action.

Furthermore, the Bai family turned out to be his ally.

Jiang Man hesitated for a moment and said, "So I should join forces with the Bai family to kill Meng Qiewei?"

Upon hearing this, Tingfengyin looked at Jiang Man and said, "Is that all the awareness you have?"

Jiang Man asked, puzzled: "Isn't that right?"

"No wonder you're just a peerless genius, not a peerless genius like me who can overcome all obstacles." Ting Fengyin shook her head, extremely disappointed.

Jiang Man fell silent.

For a moment, I felt like there was something stuck in my throat.

He then silently ate the fruit, waiting for the other person to speak again.

"What is the task I've given you?" Tingfengyin asked.

"Kill Meng Qiewei?" Jiang Man tried to ask.

"Why did you kill her?" Tingfengyin asked Jiang Man again.

Jiang Man pondered for a moment: "Because she left the immortal sect's territory, there is a certain danger in running away."

Tingfeng nodded, then said, "That's one point. Secondly, since I didn't even go out, why should she? Is she being too polite?"

Jiang Man didn't reply, but continued listening.

Tingfengyin continued, "Then how did the Bai family patriarch kill Meng Qiewei's clone?"

Jiang Man pondered for a moment and said, "Like Meng Qiewei, did you cleverly create a primordial spirit avatar?"

Tingfengyin stared at Jiang Man and said, "So what should I think?"

"Why can he come out, but the senior can't? Are you giving him too much face?" Jiang Man asked tentatively.

Tingfengyin nodded in satisfaction, then asked, "So what should you do?"

"Find the Bai family patriarch and Meng Qiewei, kill them both, and send them back?" Jiang Man asked Ting Fengyin.

Tingfengyin nodded with slight satisfaction and said, "You are a promising young man with the potential to become a peerless genius who will traverse the heavens and the earth."

"The appearance of Zui Fusheng is not aimed at Meng Qiewei, but at all of them."

"Did we give them face?"

"They all think they're smart enough to find loopholes to escape?"

"If we don't send them back, they'll really think they're so capable."

"Can I indulge them?"

After a pause, Tingfengyin added, "But you'd better kill them all at once, so you won't be exposed."

"For example, you could lure in the Bai family patriarch, make him fight Meng Qiewei like a snipe and a clam, and then you could kill them both."

"Then I can arrange for the name to disappear."

"Then you'll be able to enjoy the benefits."

"So easy?" Jiang Man asked.

Ting Fengyin shook her head and said, "If it were that easy, why would I need someone like you who dares to challenge my talent? Although you cultivate slowly and are lazy, you do have your merits, such as being bold enough."

Jiang Man was speechless for a moment.

The other person's last statement made sense.

No one else would even dare to lay a hand on them.

After a pause, Jiang Man asked curiously, "They are power clones, and they can all draw upon the power of their main body. What if, at the last moment when I make my move, they can't resist drawing upon the power of their main body?"

Upon hearing this, Ting Fengyin laughed: "Isn't that even better? I can get here immediately and suppress them. If they dare to fight back, I can kill them."

"Leave no one behind."

"At that time, other evil gods or other people on the list might go crazy and come to kill me, which would be even better."

"I killed them all in one fell swoop."

"Save yourself the trouble."

Jiang Man asked in shock, "Senior, you can defeat all of them?"

"It's a bit troublesome, but it should be doable if we give it some time," Tingfengyin said casually.

"Then you seem very eager to take action, why don't you just do it?" Jiang Man asked.

Upon hearing this, Ting Fengyin sighed: "It's not that we can't take action, it's just that we need to make things difficult for you, or rather, make things difficult for the various sects."

Jiang was puzzled.

Tingfengyin explained, "It means that if a fight breaks out, you'll all have to die once. The side effects are quite severe, but it's okay, it'll be over in a flash. You understand?"

Jiang Man was silent for a moment before asking, "Can one be resurrected after dying once?"

"That's definitely not possible," Tingfengyin gave a definite answer.

Jiang Man said in a serious tone, "Senior, leave it to me. I'll take them back. You don't need to come personally. You need to control yourself."

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Man asked if there would be this side effect if they discovered an evil god with the surname Tantai.

Listening to the wind gives a definite answer: no.

It's just the remains of an evil god.

Jiang Man was relieved.

Otherwise, if they encountered an evil god, they wouldn't dare to call upon Tingfengyin.

They were terrified that they would be the first to die.

"Then how do I find the Bai family patriarch?" Jiang Man asked.

“I haven’t been paying attention lately, how would I know about the clues? Look it up yourself.” Tingfengyin’s fishing rod moved.

He immediately started pulling upwards.

In the end, all that was pulled up was a clump of grass.

"Is there really no fish?" Tingfengyin asked, somewhat surprised.

"Why don't you just sense it yourself, senior?" Jiang Man said.

"Then how about I just catch two?" Ting Fengyin said irritably. "You don't understand the fun of fishing at all. Do you even know how to fish?"

Jiang Man felt he should go into the Heart Demon Lake again to get some fishing tips.

Let Tingfengyin see what fishing is all about.

Any fishing tips that are deemed noteworthy by the Heavenly Mirror Hundred Books must be something extraordinary.

Jiang Man changed the subject back: "But without any clues, I have no way of knowing who the Bai family patriarch is. It's too passive. At least Meng Qiewei had some clues before, but we have none here."

“Didn’t you say Ji Meng is easy to get along with? Ask her.” Ting Fengyin continued casting his fishing rod, then paused and continued, “I suspect she’s a fake Meng Qiewei, but you can also keep an eye on the people around her.”

"The Bai family patriarch can be found."

Asking was definitely out of the question, as it would expose their true intentions. Jiang Man asked, "Isn't there any other way?"

Tingfengyin picked another fruit for himself and asked, "Who is the strongest person in the Misty Cloud Sect right now?"

"Master Taihua?" Jiang Man asked uncertainly.

“Taihua?” Tingfengyin was somewhat surprised. “It’s a pity. He’s quite capable, but unfortunately, he can’t contact the people on the list who left.”

"However, you can ask him to investigate the Bai family. He is also from Zhenyue Division. If he is willing to investigate, he will find some clues. The Bai family members are all quite arrogant."

"I'm not worried about being discovered at all."

Jiang Man asked with slight curiosity, "What is the position of Master Taihua?"

“Your immediate supervisor,” Tingfengyin said casually.

Jiang Man was taken aback and asked if the other party knew his identity.

The answer is no.

“No one else knows your identity. He must be very curious about who you are and what your mission is,” Tingfengyin said.

Jiang Man felt slightly helpless. Should he ask this kind of person for help?

The other party wouldn't care.

My permissions are far inferior to theirs.

There's no way to send a message to the other party using the token.

Jiang Man told the truth.

“Let me think of a way to get him to help you this once,” Tingfengyin said after a moment’s thought. “How about you tell him that the Void Spirit Eye can be cured?”

Jiang Man nodded, then asked, "How should it be treated?"

"I don't know." Ting Fengyin shook her head, then added, "The evil gods know a lot about this. As a representative of the evil gods and possessing the coordinates of the immortal path, you must have contact with quite a few evil gods. You're sure to be able to find one who knows how to cure it."

"Let's stall Taihua for now. He doesn't know who you are, so even if he wants to teach you a lesson, he won't be able to find anyone."

"It's not a big problem."

Jiang Man remained silent for a moment, feeling that this task was truly complicated.

It would be better to find this Bai family patriarch ourselves.

Afterwards, Jiang Man asked Ting Fengyin to explain the methods of the evil god to him again.

To learn new things by reviewing the old.

Listening to the wind's whispers, however, did not refuse.

But now he's explaining things while fishing.

Jiang Man ate the fruit and listened quietly; the fruit tasted quite good.

You can pick some to take home.

But I can't give it to Miss Himemu; there's no way to explain how she could still pick it while in prison.

Seeing that Tingfengyin hadn't caught anything, Jiang Man said he was right; there were no fish here.

Listening to the wind's whispers, Jiang Man paid little attention and continued fishing.

After explaining the evil god's method to Jiang Man, he gave him a silver token.

"What is this?" Jiang Man asked curiously.

“Weren’t you targeted and blocked?” Tingfengyin stared at the lake and said, “I just took a moment to hide and used this evil god technique to temper you.”

"Let's make a name for ourselves."

"Killing them like this wouldn't be so abrupt."

"Don't worry about anyone suspecting you."

"This can make me stronger?" Jiang Man looked at the silver token with curiosity.

It's similar to the token used in the Grand Competition between Immortal Sects.

Tingfengyin explained, "This is a secret realm used for cultivation by the Zhenyue Division and the Dinghai Palace."

"A method for advancing your primordial spirit is included. Once your strength is sufficient, you can go in and secretly advance your spirit."

"Then come back and kill people."

"It's best if the two of you kill it together, otherwise Zui Fusheng is also in danger."

"They knew perfectly well that killing them was a method used by the Immortal Sect, but they couldn't cause trouble for the Immortal Sect, just as the Immortal Sect didn't openly cause trouble for them when they came out."

"But I will definitely kill you."

"Except for a little restraint, you'll be ruined."

"The Immortal Sect will not go to great lengths because of this; it would be a losing proposition. So the best outcome is that you complete the double kill and Zui Fusheng disappears."

"The benefits are under Jiang Man's command."

"If you hadn't killed one, your mission wouldn't have been completed, and you would have had to continue dealing with them."

"That would make it much more dangerous."

Afterwards, seeing that it was about time, Tingfengyin let Jiang Man go back.

She also reminded him that if he wanted to awaken the evil god, he would better know how to deal with her.

He was also told that if Taihua was still in the Wuyun Sect, he could try to watch the Record of Evil Gods.

There will be records inside.

Jiang Man noted these things down and then walked away, feeling that he had learned a lot on this trip.

But there are also big problems.

He couldn't possibly have actually killed Meng Qiewei's clone.

However, the Bai family patriarch cannot be spared; the Listening to the Wind mission must still be completed, otherwise it will appear that he is slacking off, and he will be unable to summon powerful figures when encountering powerful evil gods in the future.

If he kills one and doesn't kill the other, Zui Fusheng will be unable to complete his mission.

You're likely to suffer afterward.

Since things had come to this, Jiang Man felt that he should focus on cultivation first and wait until he advanced to the Nascent Soul stage before making any further moves.

But there's another problem.

That was because Tingfengyin provided him with the environment and conditions for promotion.

But how do I explain this when I come back? I can fool Mr. Yan by hiding my cultivation level, but how do I fool Miss Ji Meng?
"We should still go through the proper channels, get the promotion method first, and then see if there are any promotion conditions or unknown areas in the Immortal Sect Competition."

"If you have the opportunity, try to enter the Zhenyue Division's training ground during the Immortal Sect Grand Competition and see if you can advance."

Jiang Man made a decision.

He had already returned to his cell.

The old ox continued grazing in the same spot, not daring to lift its head even once.

Jiang Man watched as the things extending from the Magpie Bridge completely disappeared before saying, "Old Huang, the person is gone."

Old Huang didn't react for a long time before finally saying, "It should be safe now."

Jiang Man was puzzled: "Why did it have to come to this?"

Old Huang said seriously, "That person really can kill me, and he has a strong desire to kill me."

Jiang Man thought for a moment and nodded in agreement: "I also think Ting Fengyin has a strong murderous intent."

The old ox was puzzled.

Jiang Man truthfully told them that the other party wanted to kill everyone on the list.

They'd love for these people to run wild outside.

Old Huang was silent for a moment before saying, "It's quite dangerous to be around you."

Jiang Man has a mission, and he is an avatar of someone on the kill list. If he is not careful, he will be completely finished.

"Old Huang, what do you think I should do to find the Bai family patriarch now?" Jiang Man asked curiously.

"Find Master Taihua," the old ox said casually.

“But I can’t find him, and even if I do, I can’t get him to come.” Jiang Man said helplessly. After a pause, he suddenly asked, “Old Huang, do you know how to cure the Void Spirit Eye? I heard from Feng Yin that some evil gods can do it.”

"Didn't he tell you to use this excuse to stall him?" the old ox asked.

Jiang Man said helplessly and disdainfully, "That's why I'm the peerless genius, and you're not."

The old ox fell silent.

Jiang Man continued, "Ting Fengyin is a master of cultivation, so he can naturally stall. However, Taihua's strength surpasses that of all the three major sects."

"It's clearly not someone I can just play around with."

"Without real skills, there are too many dangers."

The old ox remained silent for a moment, then slowly said, "The Void Spirit Eye is a talent that allows him to enter the void and glimpse more opportunities. Even under normal circumstances, he can see more things."

"But this talent has a fatal flaw."

"Those were empty eyes, like bottomless black holes."

"This cave will absorb the spirit of a monk."

"The strong may be able to find ways to resist and maintain balance."

"But the spiritual power gained by the weak through cultivation will be absorbed by it."

"The resources required for a breakthrough are several times that of others, and once a certain level is reached, it becomes impossible to break through any further."

"Because the spirit of cultivation can no longer stop the speed at which the cave absorbs energy."

"Over time, one will become mentally exhausted."

"Ultimately destroyed."

"Therefore, the person who has this problem must not be Master Taihua himself."

"Is he a relative or a beloved student?" Jiang Man guessed, then paused and asked, "So, is there a way to cure him?"

"No," the old ox shook his head and said, "As far as I know of any evil god, none of them have a cure."

Jiang Man felt it was a bit of a pity.

But before he could give up, the old ox continued, "But I have a way to plug that hole, only temporarily. Even if it's only temporary, it can give a person with weak cultivation a chance to catch their breath and then continue to improve their cultivation."

"His cultivation level is high enough, so he can barely be considered cured."

"Sustainable use?" Jiang Man asked.

The old ox nodded: "It can be used once a year."

"Is it expensive?" Jiang Man asked again.

The old ox was silent for a moment before saying, "He's different from you; he's not poor."

Jiang Man: "."

However, there is still a problem: how can we contact Master Taihua?
