Perfect Double Agent

Even Lan Xian couldn't help but tremble. She recalled some past events. There were rumors that since ancient times, heroes who had cultivated immortality had mysteriously disappeared, suspected of being abducted. Some were from the Ten Earths, and some were from the Nine Heavens. To this day, no one knows who did it. Now it seems that it is very likely related to the Longevity Clan. Perhaps, there is more than one Longevity Clan involved in this.

"Feng Congyun, do you know what you're doing? A great calamity is about to befall us. By doing this, you're essentially making an enemy of the Lan family to the death!"

"That would require your Lan family to discover it." Feng Congyun remained calm, not taking the threat to heart.

Bai Ye couldn't help but shake his head. In the original story, Feng Hou of the Feng family, who was Feng Congyun's younger brother, dared to directly attack Shi Hao, Yao Yue, and others who had cultivated three strands of immortal energy. Judging from this, Feng Congyun was also preparing to do the same.

"Besides, what does the great calamity have to do with me? If the sky falls, there are always taller people to hold it up. Moreover, even the Immortal Ancient was so powerful, yet it still perished. What hope is there in this life? Why not give me your body? My clan can use it to cultivate two or three peerless heroes who can protect our clan in the future." Feng Congyun sneered.

This idea is selfish, but not impossible. As long as it is done cleanly, the Feng family will gain an extra seed for no reason. In the original work, the Marquis of Feng planned to do just that, which can be described as audacious.

"I think you've completely fallen into darkness and lost yourself!" Lan Xian glared angrily, feeling very unwilling. She was in the prime of her life, had just cultivated three strands of immortal energy, and had taken a junior brother out for a trip. However, before she could even bloom, she was kidnapped. Being forced to give birth to pigs was the least of her worries. What she feared most was that her soul had been replaced and she had to be forced to give birth to pigs for someone else!

“That’s right. I’ve already gone mad from cultivating my nephew’s Dark Heavenly Art. If something happens, I’ll take full responsibility. If nothing happens, you and Xingtian can unite, combining the strengths of our two families, and the strongest bloodline will be born.”

"At the very least, we can let an elder of the clan enter your body and use that to rebuild your strength. Perhaps our clan will have another supreme being in the future. It's a win-win situation, isn't it?"

“Niece Lanxian, if you hadn’t refused the marriage proposal put forward by my Feng family two years ago, we would be one family now. Why would I need to resort to this method?”

Feng Congyun stepped forward, a smirk playing on his lips, his gaze cold and unrestrained. He was too bold, too disgusting. He had even come up with a reason, which showed that Feng Congyun was truly willing to do this.

After all, in the end, from the Feng Clan Supreme to the entire clan, everyone in the Feng Clan betrayed them. Their current actions seem more like a sign of this betrayal.

Lan Xian's eyes were practically spitting fire, her chest heaving violently. Even Bai Ye couldn't bear to watch anymore. Feng Congyun's actions were tantamount to stabbing the heavens in the back, secretly harming a peerless prodigy. He was even more ruthless than him.

"Alas... In the late Immortal Era, the ancestor of the Feng family was of unyielding spirit, his body a true immortal, dying on the battlefield, never retreating until his last breath... Have his descendants all become like this now...?"

The Wheel of Reincarnation swayed in Bai Ye's sleeve, and a divine thought emanated from his mind.

"Pretty much. The Nine Heavens tree looks glamorous, but its roots are rotten. You'll have a lot more troublesome days ahead of you..." Bai Ye reached out his hand from Lan Xian's side. Rather than saying that Lan Xian ran into Feng Congyun's gun, it would be more accurate to say that Feng Congyun's small achievement ran into his gun.

"Hey!"

A chaotic sword light instantly emanated from his sleeve, sharp and unparalleled, its power overwhelming all living beings in heaven and earth.

This was terrifying. Just a moment ago, Feng Congyun was still feeling smug, but as soon as the Chaos Sword Light appeared, he couldn't help but tremble. Before he could figure out what was happening, the sword light had already descended.

Without a roar, without even a sound, the sword light was dazzling, cleaving through the wind and clouds, cleaving through the cave, and also cleaving through the gate of light. Wherever it passed, everything was split in two, even the old man of the Void Dao guarding the gate was no exception.

It is faintly visible that the entire world has been cleaved open.

Before Lan Xian could recover, her whole body swayed and went limp. The terrifying pressure, though only for a moment, was so immense that it completely stunned her.

"You have a supreme artifact?" Coming back to her senses, she looked at the still-standing boy, her face darkening. She, the junior sister, was almost kidnapped and forced to have children for the Feng family, and this junior brother only made a move now. Doesn't your conscience hurt?

"No, it's a one-time use forbidden weapon."

"Then why don't you help me up... my legs are giving way..."

Chapter 272 An Unconventional Way of Getting Along

"Damn the Feng family, I'm not done with you!" Lan Xian held a light blue longsword and stabbed Feng Congyun's corpse with all her might, the scene was extremely bloody.

It's hard to imagine what kind of humiliation a beautiful and ethereal fairy could have suffered, as if she had been dragged into a cave and tortured for three days and three nights, or as if the violent factors within her had been activated, and now she was taking revenge—it was simply terrifying.

"There are eleven sacred herbs, plus the pills in bottles and jars, divided equally."

"A fragmented copy of the Dark Heavenly Technique, two Void Dao artifacts, and a whole bunch of other odds and ends—these belong to the Feng family. Go find a place to sell them, and the proceeds will still be split 50/50. Any objections?"

"You're so generous?" Lan Xian arrived carrying a blood-stained sword, wiped her face to add a touch of crimson to her flawless white complexion, and even the hem of her skirt was stained with blood.

Bai Ye shook his head. He wouldn't say he was generous; if it were a pile of elixirs of immortality, he estimated he would have drowned this cheap senior sister.

He wasn't the type to haggle over ordinary things, but even so, he was going to become incredibly rich this time, because there were two small mountains piled up next to the corpse, and even a lot of women's underwear made of top-quality materials.

It is clear that Feng Congyun is indeed a spoiled brat, and a spoiled brat with extremely high cultivation.

He even felt he could make a record of it, saying that on a certain day of a certain month of a certain year, he killed a senior cultivator from the direct line of the Changsheng family, a meritorious deed he would do again in the future.

"Don't spread the Feng family's affairs to others. I'll figure something out."

"You should be helpless against the Feng family, right?" Bai Ye asked.

This is obvious. A great calamity is imminent. If the two immortal families were to fight each other, it would be an absolute disaster. In order to protect the overall situation, all parties would only try to mediate.

However, Lan Jue is definitely not one to swallow his anger.

“We can’t do anything about them. The more chaotic the times, the more people dare to disregard the overall situation and act selfishly. But I will find a way to kill Feng Xingtian. I think you are quite good. Why don’t you and I join forces and find an opportunity to kill him!” Lan Xian’s eyes flashed, and her expression was extremely serious.

Of course, she was just saying it and didn't intend to involve her junior brother. She would ask her elders to take action when the time came.

Bai Ye laughed and said, "I've heard that the Dark Heavenly Art is also called the Fallen Heavenly Art. If you cultivate it for a long time, you will fall into darkness. Feng Xingtian will definitely become a great demon in the future, harming the human world. It is our responsibility to rid the Nine Heavens of this scourge!"

"Pfft... You're shameless, even finding a good reason to kill someone." Lan Xian laughed too. Whether it's called the Fallen Heavenly Art or not is unimportant; what matters is how it's done. "But you're right, it's our duty to rid the Nine Heavens of this scourge!"

Lan Xian had vented her anger and was in a much better mood. The two quickly packed up and prepared to move to another location.

The hole was cut open earlier because of the sword light. During this brief delay, black crows have been lingering. Because of the residual energy, they dare not come down for the time being, but they will come in soon.

"Leave the corpses here to feed the crows, let's go inside!" Lan Xian, holding a small jade platform in one hand and a blood-dripping longsword in the other, took the initiative to clear the way.

The portal shattered, revealing a surprisingly large interior space resembling an underground forest. Everywhere, there were stone-carved fire mulberry trees, and an intensely hot energy, like countless sun flames, so scorching it almost melted their bodies. The underground space was illuminated as a golden world.

This doesn't resemble a gloomy ancient tomb at all; rather, it's like a giant furnace, brimming with yang energy that could burn down the nine heavens and purify all filth.

"A land of supreme yang! Could there be a celestial seed buried here?!" Lan Xian exclaimed, wisps of celestial light appearing on her body, protecting her melting dress.

"Most likely not." Bai Ye opened and closed his eyes, one black and one white, facing the blazing light, looking at the center, where there was a golden bird skeleton. It was lying on a golden rock several meters long, and inside the skull was a small sun the size of a fist, too dazzling.

However, the skeleton resembled a crow, or more precisely, a golden crow, but not entirely.

At this moment, Lan Xian also saw the skeleton. "Could it be that the old supreme being of the Crow Clan died here? I heard from my elders that an old crow once lived in this area. It wanted to live a second life, shed its crow body, and evolve into a golden crow. Now it seems that it failed."

Now she finally understood why the crows attacked Feng Congyun and the others. This place was probably a sacred place in the eyes of those crows, and no living being was allowed to desecrate it.

As if confirming her guess, a deafening sound of flapping wings began to rise from behind. Even the top of the cracked cave was covered by black wings, and huge, blood-red eyes were moving, coldly looking down at the two of them.

"Let's go!" Bai Ye reached out and put the golden skeleton and the large rock brimming with yang energy into his sleeve. It was a Crimson Sun Stone, which was very rare, on par with Chaos Stones. Many important figures liked to collect some to make beds or jade pendants and other jewelry. It could ward off evil spirits and had indescribable benefits for strengthening one's essence and protecting one's primordial spirit.

"Wait...this is spatial turbulence...where are you going to teleport?!"

"The top is blocked, so we can only go towards the crack in front!"

"You can't transmit it underground?"

"People strive to rise higher. I can walk on flat ground, but I will never go downhill with the current."

Faintly, one could hear eloquent sophistry coming from that space. Clearly, Lan Xian wasn't so stubborn; she was just making excuses for her mistake while trying to maintain the dignity befitting a senior sister.

……

Meanwhile, in an ancient immortal world, a golden roc several meters long was flying away at high speed, with streaks of rainbow light relentlessly pursuing it, accompanied by angry curses.

"Little Peng King, have you fallen so low as to become a mount!"

"Wu Tai, don't be stubborn and ask for trouble. Put down the sacred wood and I'll spare your lives!"

"Why bother talking to them? He's already colluded with those two vixens. They even buried Senior Brother Wang alive! Damn it!"

"That's what Senior Brother Wang asked for. Little brat, take a shot from your Tai-ye first!" Wu Tai was full of excitement. He released the black bow that had been drawn halfway through its length. Instantly, a black beam of light shot out at an unimaginable speed, piercing through the rainbow light in an instant.

"Damn it... Wu Tai, you bastard, are you trying to shoot me dead?!" A loud curse could be faintly heard.

The academy does not prohibit fighting, but it forbids killing. No matter where you are, killing fellow disciples is a major taboo.

"If I hadn't held back, you would be dead!" With that, Wu Tai drew his bow again and shot with unusual excitement.

In the center of the roc's back, two beautiful figures were tidying up small bags together. One was dressed in a black dress and had black hair, while the other had silver hair and wore white clothes. They were surrounded by an ethereal aura, and at their feet was a very dazzling phoenix-winged immortal golden halberd, which was mixed with some bright immortal gold inside, making it quite extraordinary.

Clearly, this silver-haired girl has a combative personality and is not a docile woman; otherwise, she wouldn't use such a weapon.

"It doesn't seem like enough to split evenly... Wu Tai, cover me, I'll be right back!" The girl picked up the Phoenix Wing Immortal Golden Halberd and, like a celestial phoenix taking flight, charged back alone.

This scene made the witch's eyelids twitch. To be honest, when she first entered the Immortal Ancient City, she did intend to make some friends. Who knew that these people from the Nine Heavens were so arrogant? They wouldn't know what pain was until they were beaten up.

The result is what it is now.

"Hmm... I guess I'd say I've become one of them by now?"

As she spoke, the witch drew a seven-colored sword from her sleeve, took a powerful step, and flew out. The sword light stretched for miles, directly engulfing a figure.

Clearly, the Second Elder's so-called "becoming one with everyone" has completely changed its meaning.

Chapter 273 Reverse Five Elements Demon Sealing Ground

The space was dark and chaotic, the laws seemed to be running rampant, and everywhere you looked were chains of divine order.

A man and a woman were swept away to an unknown location, their bodies covered in wounds, the dense scars a truly shocking sight.

"This is it! This time it'll definitely work! Let's go!" Lan Xian shouted, urging the small jade platform in her hand with all her might, and actually managed to tear open space.

Previously, because the laws here were too chaotic and interfered with teleportation, Lan Xian failed to teleport multiple times.

A moment later, two figures fell from a space and began to look around.

This is a vast valley that stretches as far as the eye can see, but the land here is quite different from other places. It resembles the ruins of an ancient battlefield, with skeletons everywhere. Some are buried in the soil with only half of their bodies showing, while others sit quietly on the ground, having existed for countless millennia. Many of them have been weathered away, and strangely enough, there is little sign of life here; instead, it is deathly still.

Lan Xian breathed a sigh of relief, took out a fragrant pill and put it in her mouth, then handed over the pill bottle.

"I don't need it, my injuries are all external." Bai Ye refused, his spirits still high, unlike Lan Xian who was so listless.

"Are you a monster?" Lan Xian was speechless.

"I know a bit about space, and I've experienced things even more terrifying than that," Bai Ye replied, taking a step forward and walking into the distance.

Now, they have left their original continent. This place is quite extraordinary, with a sense of ancient times flowing through it. It is vast and distant, accompanied by an indescribable aura that can easily make people feel disoriented.

He didn't go far before stopping in front of a smooth boulder. Although it was dusty, ancient characters could still be faintly seen on the stone wall.

"Using heaven and earth as the furnace, time as the fire... and the monstrous evil as the medicine?"

"Could it be a pill refining ground? Are there any world-shaking immortal pills here?" Lan Xian arrived and stood behind Bai Ye, her face extremely shocked. This junior brother of hers seems to be really lucky. Although they had some setbacks along the way, they had survived and obtained quite a lot.

"You're getting too excited. It might just be a demon-sealing area," Bai Ye shook his head.

His words were quickly confirmed; there were stone carvings ahead that recorded some information about the place.

“Anti-Five Elements...Demon Sealing Ground?” Lan Xian asked, her expression extremely tense. “I’ve heard of this place. Back then, a disciple returned alive from here, bringing back some information, but he died not long after. The elders searched for a long time, but they couldn’t find this place because they didn’t have the coordinates.”

However, this place has a very terrifying name: the Land of Death. Throughout history, almost no one who has entered has ever come out alive.

Their unexpected arrival is like escaping from a wolf's den only to fall into a tiger's lair!

However, as she moved forward and saw more stone carvings, Lan Xian's tense expression relaxed. Some records indicated that if one day she could enter and exit this place on her own, it meant that the great formation here had stopped and the alchemy had reached its final stage. If she did not actively trigger the great formation, there would be no danger.
